Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

A bird's-eye view of Dongcheng.

The ancient and desolate dark forest, like a giant tumor, sits in the city and has swallowed up nearly half of it.

At the edge of the dark forest, a transparent barrier can be vaguely seen enveloping the entire forest.

This is a simplified area organized by Principal Lin.

Although it had no special characteristics, it managed to hold back the expansion of the forest, buying the citizens a huge amount of time to evacuate and wait for reinforcements.

However, this barrier is currently experiencing violent fluctuations and could break at any moment.

"Has it reached its limit?"

Principal Lin looked at the others, his brows furrowed.

Even with hidden injuries, he, as an eighth-level Martial Venerable, was able to continue persevering.

However, for other seventh-tier Martial Grandmasters, the consumption of creating a simple domain to fight against an open domain is still too great.

Once the simple domain is broken, the expansion rate of the Dark Forest will accelerate dramatically.

The mayor, who was not far away, was also nearing his limit and could only say helplessly.

"It seems our only option is to force our way into the domain and break through."

The expressions on everyone's faces were somber.

There are quite a few seventh-tier martial masters trapped in the dark forest, and their situation is still not improving.

Those people who go in will probably be in the same boat.

"Let's go then."

Principal Lin nodded, preparing to dispel the spirit array domain.

Just then.

Click.

The world seemed to freeze for a moment.

Before anyone could react, a terrifying force beyond comprehension swept over them, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

This imposing aura was fleeting, coming and going quickly, as if it were just an illusion.

But the next second.

boom!

The simple domain they maintained shattered instantly.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

They thought the Dark Forest was about to expand wildly.

Fortunately, they soon discovered to their surprise that the thick fog that permeated the dark forest was gradually dissipating.

The Dark Forest is not expanding outwards; instead, it is fading and disappearing at a visible rate.

……

"What is that? What exactly is it?"

The apostle of birth screamed in terror, his eyes filled with fear.

Even though it was only for a moment, and I didn't even see anything clearly.

Yet she still managed to detect the terrifying aura emanating from that void, an aura that transcended the limits of the world.

It made her very soul tremble.

"That was the death knell tolling for you."

Luo Chuan feigned composure and said.

As expected of the EX-rank Sinful Demon Sword.

It didn't even descend in its true form; it shattered the entire domain with just the overflowing aura of destruction.

As the altar of birth collapsed, the entire dark forest, along with the deformed monsters within, gradually vanished.

The cultivation level of the Apostle also quickly dropped back to the sixth rank.

There's only one level left to overcome, but it's still possible.

Luo Chuan gave a mocking sneer to the Apostle of Birth.

"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now, so let me have some more fun."

Even if I become weaker, it doesn't mean you become stronger!

The apostle of birth roared hysterically.

After years of planning failed, she suddenly became frantic and irritable.

"Gurgle..."

She let out a strange roar.

The half-human, half-beast body twisted and expanded again, sprouting countless chunks of flesh and tentacles, eventually transforming into an extremely twisted and bizarre chaotic mass of flesh.

It looks like a huge, oddly shaped tumor.

"roar!!!"

A deafening roar came crashing down on us.

"Aren't you even human anymore?"

Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no fear in the face of danger.

With a flick of his fingers, thirty-six ether swords were arrayed before him.

"Heavenly Lock Sword Formation - Modified - Heaven and Earth Prison"

The ether transformed into thirty-six divine chains, which firmly bound the apostles who gave birth to the angels.

The Apostle of Birth writhed wildly, its body ablaze with green phosphorescent flames, attempting to break free from the Heavenly Lock Sword Formation's restraints.

Unfortunately, after falling back to the sixth rank, she could no longer easily break the divine chains.

She mustered all her strength to break through the sword formation's blockade.

Luo Chuan had already raised his sword in front of him.

ready.

"Primordial Qi".

The spiritual pressure emanating from his body instantly surged tenfold.

Luo Chuan stared intently at the Apostle of Birth, watching as its fleshy body continued to multiply and regenerate endlessly.

To kill the opponent, you must turn them to ashes with a single sword strike.

So you want to purify everything with fire?

No.

There are better options.

A silver gleam appeared in Luo Chuan's eyes.

"Divine Power and Dharma Form - Emperor Jiang of the Universe".

In an instant, ripples spread through the void.

The entire space is under our control.

Luo Chuan did not directly summon Di Jiang; he merely borrowed Di Jiang's supernatural power.

The specks of silver light transformed into halos, coalescing on the sword.

As space moves rhythmically, time itself seems to slow down.

In Luo Chuan's eyes, the rush that gave birth to the apostles was like a slow-motion scene.

Luo Chuan sheathed his sword at his waist and then slashed fiercely.

"The front line."

Swah——

The sword gleamed brightly.

It severed space, and it also severed time.

The bullet time slowly returned to normal, but the apostle who was born was stuck in place.

A silver sword mark pierced the void, severing the Apostle of Birth in half.

Click!

Suddenly, starting with the sword mark, mottled cracks spread throughout the void, covering the entire body of the apostle who was born.

Luo Chuan calmly sheathed his sword.

The next instant.

The space shattered with a bang.

The Apostle of Birth was annihilated by the void turbulence before it could even utter a scream.

Chi.

Blood splattered.

Luo Chuan's body suddenly split open with dozens of cuts.

"Alas, I still can't escape the backlash."

Luo Chuan sighed helplessly.

Using Dijiang's supernatural powers for the first time was still too unfamiliar.

Upon landing back on the ground, looking around, the twisted ancient trees that had blocked out the sky had vanished into thin air, revealing the azure sky.

"The rain has stopped."

Luo Chuan smiled leisurely.

Exhausted, he lay down on his back on the ground.

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

[Goal achieved!]

【You did well! You did a fantastic job! With the cultivation of a third-tier martial artist, you leaped five tiers to slay the apostles born from their wounds, thwarting their conspiracy and perfectly completing the first appearance of the Dark Moon Sword. But you swallowed the forbidden substance; that was truly disgusting.】

[Fate Points have been awarded.]

Current Fate Points: 550

"I've already overcome a non-existent germaphobia, what more do you want?"

Luo Chuan chuckled to himself.

[Hurry up and spit it out, meow!]

The Hakimi system is breathing again.

It's clear that the system genuinely hates this twisted and eerie power.

Suddenly, a barely perceptible rustling sound came from beside my ear.

A figure stood beside Luo Chuan.

"You actually did it."

Ye Ling stared at Luo Chuan, a hint of emotion flickering in her cold gaze.

Ms. Kobayashi was also carrying her on her back.

At that moment, Luo Chuan went all out, attracting the attention of the Apostle of Childbirth, while she took the opportunity to sneak up to the altar and rescue Teacher Kobayashi.

However, the forbidden object was still inside Ms. Kobayashi's body, emanating an eerie and unsettling aura.

Ms. Kobayashi is still not out of danger.

"Put Ms. Kobayashi down, I'll help her get rid of this mental pollution."

Luo Chuan told Ye Ling to put Teacher Lin down.

Then, more footsteps could be heard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Wen Zhinian and Xu Xiaojin walking towards them.

Judging from their ragged and disheveled appearance, they had clearly been through a life-or-death struggle.

Fortunately, he is in good spirits.

"Oh dear, I'm so glad everyone's alright."

Wen Zhinian smiled and greeted Luo Chuan and Ye Ling.

"Those deformed monsters suddenly went berserk, which gave Xiaojin and me a huge fright. We barely escaped with our lives."

"Now that the battle is over, it's finally my turn to show my skills."

Wen Zhinian winked at Luo Chuan, then began to use her innate ability to heal Luo Chuan's injuries.

Xu Xiaojin squatted down, seemingly concerned about Luo Chuan.

"You've ingested something forbidden; your breathing is very chaotic. Are you alright?"

"I told you, a strong will is the key; this kind of mental pollution is nothing to me."

Luo Chuan regained some strength and sat up from the ground.

"Ms. Kobayashi needs help more than I do."

He glanced at Ms. Kobayashi, who was sleeping soundly to the side.

Ms. Kobayashi's sleeping face is peaceful, her brows relaxed, but in reality, her mind is immersed in a dream woven from forbidden things.

Luo Chuan reached out and placed his hand on Teacher Lin's forehead.

Having previously helped Hsu Hsiao-chin resist mental pollution on two separate occasions.

Through physical contact, he quickly sensed the twisted malice and successfully expelled it from Ms. Kobayashi's body.

"cough!"

Ms. Kobayashi, who had been sleeping, suddenly coughed.

An embryo-like forbidden substance was then coughed out of her mouth.

This time, Luo Chuan was well-prepared and easily used etheric molding to imprison the forbidden object.

"Um……"

Ms. Kobayashi let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

She felt as if she had just woken from a long dream, and was still somewhat dazed.

Seeing Luo Chuan so close by through a hazy vision, Ms. Kobayashi mumbled in a sleepy voice, as if she were being coquettish.

"husband……"

"???"

This moment.

Everyone present froze.
