I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 250 Ghost Ship!
The woman in black had been bullied and oppressed by the Empress for over a hundred years, always passively accepting her fate. At most, she could grumble and complain in her heart, but she couldn't do anything else.

The Empress just gave her a chance to win the game.

This was her greatest expectation over the years.

Moreover, according to the woman in black, as long as she welcomes the Empress on the chessboard, she can turn the tables and take control of everything.

This will not go wrong.

A person has two sides, and we live together day and night. I do understand that much.

But now that the Empress has clearly lost the game and is about to take control of everything, why can she still wear a victorious smile?

The woman in black immediately felt uneasy.

Hahaha.

The red-clad empress's smile grew increasingly wild, even bordering on perverse due to excessive excitement.

The woman in black felt a chill run down her spine. "Speak! Say something! What are you laughing at?!"

The red-clad empress's expression was quite ferocious as she looked up at the surrounding domain. She saw that the light membrane outside the domain was already cracked, with many fire demons attacking the domain, while others were grabbing the edge of the domain with their hands, trying to tear a large hole in it.

The situation had reached an extremely urgent point, but the Red-Clad Empress paid no heed. Instead, she picked up the last chess piece in her hand and squeezed it hard. With a sudden "crack," the chess piece was crushed into powder.

The red-clad empress released her grip, and powder flowed from between her fingers, scattering onto the chessboard.

A cold, menacing voice followed.

"Ever since you went to the ghost ship and became tainted by the Twin Demons, you were destined to be nothing more than my plaything. I won against you in chess before to use you. Now I lose to you in chess, also to use you... You have always been nothing more than a plaything."

The woman in black stared wide-eyed at the ashes that kept falling onto the chessboard.

Slowly, the fragments of the chess piece scattered across the chessboard, forming a yin-yang pattern.

The woman in black finally realized something, "You, you..."

The red-clad empress sneered, "You think I won against you to control you? You're wrong. I don't need the chessboard to control you; I crushed you directly. The reason I won against you was for the sake of the bigger picture: to seal off the passage to the ghost ship."

The woman in black stared wide-eyed. "You lost to me, and that opened the passage to the ghost ship?!"

Hahaha.

The red-clad empress let out an extremely perverse laugh, "Not bad."

The woman in black: "Are you crazy?"

The red-clad empress said, "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that Chen Mo is crazy. He's trying to force me to my death! The Flame Demon King has already appeared, and this Guiyuan City is about to collapse. Once the city collapses, the passage to the Ghost Ship will be revealed. If Chen Mo doesn't give me a way out, then he won't live either."

hiss.

The woman in black took a deep breath. "Once you open the passage to the ghost ship, all the countless demons inside will come out. This world will cease to exist."

"Shut up."

The red-clad empress shouted, "It was all Chen Mo's doing, not my own idea. Every piece on the chessboard is a key to unlocking the ghost ship's passage. And now, this game is just right."

The woman in black panicked and slumped down. Her body was trembling, and fine beads of sweat streamed down her forehead.

Soon, the woman in black looked up in the direction where Chen Mo was.

She desperately wanted to speak and tell Chen Mo to leave immediately.

However, she was restrained and unable to speak.

They could only stare blankly, extremely anxious.

"It's no use," said the red-clad empress. "The key to the passage has already been activated. We just need to wait for Guiyuan City to collapse, and then all the Flame Demons will become nourishment to open the Ghost Ship passage. Once the passage is open, everyone will die. Hahahaha."

After speaking, the red-clad empress suddenly stood up, put her hands behind her back, and looked out at the Flame Demons who were frantically attacking outside the domain.

Immediately, the red-clad empress smiled and turned to look at Chen Mo.

Standing at the entrance of the Red Moon Palace, Chen Mo also saw the Empress's sinister and ferocious smile, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Mo said in a low voice, "Something's not right!" Bai Yujing asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Mo said, "I have a very bad feeling."

Bai Yujing never doubted Chen Mo's judgment. "Then...shall we retreat first?"

After a moment's thought, Chen Mo said, "We should retreat first. I don't know what the Empress has done, but the rules of Guiyuan City are different now. Let's go."

Without saying a word, Chen Mo pulled Bai Yujing and headed into the Red Moon Palace.

Just then, the red-clad empress's booming voice came from behind, "Chen Mo. Only now thinking of running away? It's too late. If you don't give me a way out, you won't live either. At worst, we'll perish here together."

Chen Mo ignored the red-clad empress and stepped into the gate of the Red Moon Palace.

Just then——

Boom!

The earth suddenly trembled violently, and jets of magma shot out from beneath the ground, rising hundreds of meters into the air. The entire sky was filled with a shower of meteors.

Immediately afterwards, the earth shattered inch by inch.

Countless roof beams collapsed.

The entire city was covered in scalding lava, a scene of hell on earth.

Suddenly, the ground beneath the Crimson Moon Palace collapsed, sending billowing lava shooting into the sky. Countless fire demons followed, sweeping across the land and engulfing the Crimson Moon Palace.

Boom! Boom!
The earth continues to collapse and sink.

A perfectly good city suddenly sank completely, sinking into the lava below.

The earth collapsed in an instant, and soon the sky began to crack, shattering inch by inch, and began to collapse.

Heaven and earth began to collapse simultaneously.

Time and space turn, and the end of the world arrives.

Bai Yujing was shocked. "Husband, the Red Moon Palace is starting to collapse inch by inch. It can't hold on any longer."

Chen Mo said, "I know. It must be something the Empress did that accelerated the collapse of Guiyuan City. We can't escape it; we can only follow her down to see what's happening. Stay close to me."

The moment it slid down, the Red Moon Palace began to shatter.

The two quickly sank into the lava beneath the earth.

The ground is very deep, filled with molten lava.

Bottomless.

The red-clad empress, the black-clad woman, and countless fire demons all sank down with her.

After quite some time, the bottom still hadn't appeared.

Bai Yujing was somewhat unsettled. "Husband, this place is far too deep. How could this be?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "I don't know either."

Bai Yujing suddenly pointed to the end below, "Look."

Chen Mo looked down and saw a huge black and white vortex at the end of the abyss, which was frantically devouring all the magma and fire demons.

Anyone who gets close to the core of the vortex is directly sucked into it.

Chen Mo and Bai Yujing opened their respective domains in an attempt to resist. They discovered, however, that they were utterly unable to resist.

This vortex, like a black hole, possesses unimaginable blackness.

As they got closer, Chen Mo and Bai Yujing were able to see the scene at the core of the vortex clearly.

A huge red ship could be vaguely seen.
