Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

The entire secret room, except for the door, was completely sealed off from all sides, without a single ray of light.

But for Xu Xiaoan, it felt like coming home.

She looked towards the center of the room.

There were two "beds" placed side by side there, made of the cores of chaos.

Yun Ling and Yun Shan sat cross-legged on their respective "beds," their previously missing limbs having grown back.

However, some black tentacles still grew on their bodies, hanging haphazardly on the ground, rising and falling like breathing.

As for the Jade-Faced Rakshasa, she is not here. She should still be gathering materials somewhere in the mist, trying to revive the Blood Sea Sword Tomb and Xing Tian.

"Young master?"

Noticing someone enter, Yun Ling slowly opened her eyes.

In the previous battle, he and Yunshan were only seriously injured, far from being on the verge of death.

But who would have thought that the arrival of the Black Sun would provoke a strong backlash from the Old Gods, especially against these "traitors"?

Although the household registration was cancelled, [Red Moon] naturally includes the cancellation record in its collection of world information.

Combined with the precise strike at the level of the law of [Balance], it nearly annihilated both of them, body and soul.

If it weren't for the Black Sun protecting their minds, they would have died in that turmoil long ago!

After sleeping for more than a month, Yun Ling's condition has only recovered to about 20-30%.

Yunshan is in even worse shape; he's struggling to stay conscious.

In this situation, Xu Xiaoan also intercepted all the resources within the sect, cutting off their supply, which made things even worse.

Only now did Yun Ling realize that things were going badly.

The young master may have escaped their control, or perhaps he was never controlled by them at all.

But the young master is, after all, a formless being; he can't go too far and cut off his own arm, can he?

After all, her identity is bound to the [Chaos] faction, and it's impossible for her to side with humanity.

With this thought in mind, Yun Ling comforted herself that she would be alright and worked hard to recover, trying to take this opportunity to comprehend the laws and find a way to advance further.

If successful, no matter how resourceful Xu Xiaoan is, he will be unable to restrain them.

Before he could even take any action, Xu Xiaoan came knocking on his door.

"They've come with ill intentions..."

Yun Ling inwardly sensed something was wrong, but outwardly maintained a respectful demeanor and asked:

"Young Master, is something the matter?"

Xu Xiaoan stood in front of the two's "bed," arms crossed, and said in a calm tone:

"Zhong Chang has reached the ninth rank."

"?"

Before he could react, Xu Xiaoan continued:

"Not only him, but Yang Xin, [Overturning the World], and [Overturning the Yellow Emperor] have all reached the ninth rank."

"What?!"

Yun Ling was greatly shocked and subconsciously sat up straight.

"Didn't they say the world can't afford it anymore? There are four—"

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoan’s third eye between his brows snapped open, and an eerie purple light instantly filled every corner of the secret room.

Yun Ling lost his composure for a moment and was infected by the decay curse of [Nether Sun].

"puff!"

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. He raised his hand shakily and pointed at Xu Xiaoan.

Beside him, Yunshan remained unconscious, but its drooping tentacles began to writhe violently, with irregular blue veins bulging on their surface.

"Young...Young Master, are you going to kill us?"

"Heh, isn't that obvious?"

Xu Xiaoan's lips curled into a cold smile:

"From the very beginning, you never treated me as a so-called 'young master,' but rather as a vessel to bear His power, right?"

Yun Ling was silent for a moment, then retorted:

"But we're investing all our resources in you so you can grow as quickly as possible. It won't do you any harm, will it?"

"Ultimately, we're all in the same boat, there's no need to—"

"snort."

Xu Xiaoan snorted coldly, interrupting him.

Seeing her disdainful look, Yun Ling immediately understood something, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"You—pfft!"

The curse intensified suddenly, causing him to spit out another mouthful of black blood.

At this very moment, the decay curse of the [Sun of the Underworld] has seeped into its very essence, even triggering the [Plague]!

Moreover, compared to him, an Awakened One of the [Elemental] type, Xu Xiaoan possessed a portion of the power of [Silence and Death] and was himself [Formless], so he was clearly more favored by it!

"Damn it!"

Yun Ling cursed under her breath, forcibly propped herself up, and glared angrily at Xu Xiaoan.

"You think you can kill me with just a seventh-tier character? Aren't you being a bit too arrogant!"

Even if it means death, she must pay the price!

Yun Ling suddenly activated the power of [Chaos], mixing it with the water element to condense a concentrated bubble the size of a fingernail.

He had already begun to build up his strength shortly after the conversation started.

Even though this attack couldn't even break through the skin of an eighth-tier opponent, it was enough to deal with Xu Xiaoan, who was only at the seventh tier!

Even if we can't kill her, we can use the power of space to temporarily banish her to the void realm!

However, Xu Xiaoan simply stayed where she was and gently blew a breath at him.

"call--"

The "wind" she exhaled seemed to possess a strange power, causing the bubbles to vanish the moment they came into contact with them.

"Gone?! How is that possible?!"

"Hmph, old man, you've reverted to the previous version!"

Xu Xiaoan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an "evil" smile, and suddenly increased the output of [Nether Sun].

With the Annihilation Wind provided by Jiang Mian, she can not only filter and select the sounds in the secret room to avoid arousing suspicion outside, but also reduce Yun Ling's resistance.

He never imagined that in just over a month, Jiang Mian would jump from the sixth rank to the eighth rank, and even the essence of his power would transform into a half-law.

Even ten of them wouldn't be enough for Jiang Mian to fight with one hand right now!

With [Annihilation] breaking through defenses, the decay curse of [Sun of the Underworld] was unstoppable.

In a strange purple light, Yun Ling's body began to mutate and swell, quickly becoming a swollen lump of flesh.

"Uh—I, I..."

His eyes were filled with resentment as he stared intently at Xu Xiaoan, but before long, even his head was swallowed up by his expanding body.

"Splat!"

The fleshy mass shattered with a crash, leaving behind only fragments and blood.

A dark green ball of light slowly rose from the debris and went straight into Xu Xiaoan's brow.

She touched her forehead, and [Chaos] temporarily absorbed [Plague].

Simply storing things isn't enough; they need to be integrated to be effective.

But this nascent form of authority has already been corrupted, and absorbing it is the last thing to do.

Fortunately, the feedback from cursing and killing an eighth-tier being was also considerable...

Thinking this, Xu Xiaoan turned his gaze to Yunshan.

He had long been awakened by the commotion inside; his cloudy eyes held no fear, but rather a serene and open-minded calm.

Xu Xiaoan, hands on her hips, mocked:

"What? Have you suddenly seen the light at the end of the tunnel, facing death?"

"Hehe, Your Highness flatters me. I am far from reaching that level."

Yunshan forced a smile, trying to muster his spirits:

"But I want to die knowing why."

"Oh? Tell me."

"The source of your power is [Apocalypse], isn't it?"

"So what if it is?"

Xu Xiaoan tilted her chin slightly, looking completely at ease.

"Really... Hahaha, I see, I see!"

Yunshan suddenly burst into wild laughter, appearing as if he had gone mad.

Xu Xiaoan found him too noisy, so she increased her output and made him go with Yun Ling.

Among the newly added fragments, she retrieved a black orb of light, storing it in the eye between her eyebrows, and then walked lightly toward the entrance of the secret chamber.

"Sister Mian, you've finished them all!"

"Hmm, well done. Xiao An is great!"

Jiang Mian chuckled softly, manipulated the wind in the secret room to condense into a shape, and gently patted her head.

Xu Xiaoan let out a soft whimper, like a kitten that had been tickled.

After many days, she finally felt Jiang Mian's softness again.

Although there was no direct contact, she was very satisfied!

After enjoying the moment for a while, Xu Xiaoan reluctantly placed her hand on the door.

"Sister Mian, shall I go?"

"come on!"

"Um."

Xu Xiaoan calmed herself down and then pushed open the door to go out.
