Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

The ruins of the Moon Palace. A deathly aura churns within.

Gu Xiang stared intently at the entrance to the abyss. His righteous energy dissipated. His chest caved in. His breathing was weak, each breath accompanied by blood and foam. He tried to summon the last remaining strength within him, but his meridians snapped inch by inch. Excruciating pain coursed through his entire body, but he gritted his teeth, uttering not a sound. His gaze never strayed from the abyss.

Bai Yin stood a few feet away, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.

Indra stood in mid-air. His dark gold nine-dragon imperial robe billowed in the wind. He looked down, his gaze cold and indifferent.

"To sacrifice one's life for a remnant soul destined to die," Di Shitian said, his voice flat and even.

He raised his right hand, palm cradling a large seal—the Dragon Emperor's Seal. The seal's base was engraved with the landscapes of the demon race. Golden light swirled, dispelling the surrounding deathly aura.

"The Heavenly Fox's fortune returns to the Demon Court." Emperor Shitian pressed down with his palm.

The Dragon Emperor Seal flew out of his hand. It swelled in mid-air amidst the wind, growing to a hundred feet in size. Golden light pressed down, enveloping Gu Xiang and Bai Yin. The immense pressure caused the ice beneath them to continue shattering.

A figure suddenly appeared. It was Tianpeng.

He gripped the nine-toothed rake tightly. Starlight flowed across the rake. He didn't look at Di Shitian. He turned and stood in front of Gu Xiang and Bai Yin.

The rake swung upwards. Nine beams of starlight struck the bottom of the Dragon Emperor Seal.

Boom. Starlight shattered. Tianpeng's legs buckled, his knees slamming heavily onto the ice. Cracks erupted from the ice, spreading in all directions. He had withstood the downward force of the Dragon Emperor's Seal. His arm muscles bulged, his clothes tore. Blood flowed down his arms, staining the handle of his rake red.

Indra's eyes turned cold. "Tianpeng, how dare you betray the Demon Court?"

Blood trickled from the corner of Tianpeng's mouth. He raised his head and stared directly at Indra in mid-air.

"What kind of demon court is it that survives by eating people?" Tianpeng's voice was hoarse.

He gripped the rake tightly and slowly straightened his body. "A thousand years ago, I took a step back. Today, I will not take a step back."

Indra's eyes were icy cold. The Dragon Emperor Seal shone brightly with golden light, its power doubling.

The bones in Tianpeng's arms creaked as he fought. His feet sank into the ice, but he fought on relentlessly.

The deepest part of the abyss.

A dull thud was heard.

The death storm suddenly stopped. A beam of eerie blue light shot into the sky from the bottom of the abyss.

The beam of light was a hundred feet in diameter. It pierced through the lifeline and shot straight into the sky.

The extremely cold Yin energy spread instantly. The churning gray-black death energy froze instantly into black ice crystals upon contact with the dark blue light pillar, which then fell to the ground, striking the ice surface with a crisp sound.

The Dragon Emperor Seal was struck by this extremely cold energy, causing its golden light to dim. Tianpeng's pressure lessened sharply, and he took half a step back. He gasped for breath and looked into the abyss.

Center of the light beam.

Su Chang'an was suspended in mid-air.

Her white robes were spotless. Her divine soul was no longer transparent. The clear light of the moon enveloped her entire body, forming a tangible halo. Her aura surged upwards. The barrier of the peak Great Saint Realm shattered instantly. The moonlit amber in her palm emitted a clear light. Her cultivation was approaching the threshold of Quasi-Emperor.

His eyes opened. Cold as a star.

Below the abyss, the Corpse Dragon let out a piercing scream. Its Yin energy stripped away, its massive body writhed wildly in the deathly aura, crashing against the ice walls. Large sections of ice crumbled away.

Su Chang'an lowered his head.

He clenched his right hand. The clear light of the moon gathered in his palm. A thousand-foot-long, dark blue giant sword took shape. The sword's blade had no intricate patterns, only the pure laws of extreme cold.

She gripped the greatsword and swung it downwards.

The sword light sliced ​​through the deathly aura. It sliced ​​through the void.

The giant sword struck the massive head of the corpse dragon. Without pausing, the blade slicing down the head, cleaving through the azure scales and the bones solidified with deathly energy. It cleaved the thousand-foot-long dragon's enormous body in two.

The deathly aura of ashen gray surged from the corpse dragon's body, but before it could spread, it was frozen into ice by the Yin energy attached to the greatsword.

The Corpse Dragon's mournful cry abruptly ceased. Its massive body shattered into countless ice chunks, crashing towards the bottom of the abyss.

Amidst a sky full of ice shards, Su Chang'an soared into the sky, stepping on the shattered bones of the corpse dragon.

She flew out of the abyss and landed above the ruins of the Moon Palace.

Nine fox tails unfurled behind her. The tails were tinged with an icy blue light. The pale moonlight illuminated the dark, desolate place.

She stood there. The laws of space around her receded on their own.

Su Chang'an's gaze swept downwards. He saw the heavily injured Gu Xiang and Bai Yin. He saw Tian Peng blocking their way. Finally, his gaze settled on Di Shitian, who was in mid-air.

A terrifying pressure swept outwards from Su Chang'an.

The oppressive force, imbued with the legacy of Taiyin, overwhelmed everyone present.

She didn't make a move. She simply watched Indra quietly.

In mid-air, the hundred-zhang-sized Dragon Emperor Seal suddenly let out a mournful cry. The demonic mountain and river array patterns on the bottom of the seal flickered violently. The golden light completely dimmed.

A layer of dark blue frost formed on the surface of the Dragon Emperor Seal.

Di Shitian's expression changed drastically. He sensed the spirit within the Dragon Emperor Seal trembling.

The Dragon Emperor Seal broke free of his control and flew back, landing in his palm. It was icy cold.

Di Shitian gripped the Dragon Emperor Seal, the veins on the back of his hand bulging. He looked at Su Chang'an, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Indra put away the Dragon Emperor Seal.

The shock subsided. A glint of madness and calculation flashed in his eyes.

"You think you've won?" Indra said.

He took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The surface of the jade slip was engraved with runes from the Central Continent. This was a contingency plan left behind by Li Changgeng.

Indra exerted force with his five fingers. The jade slip shattered.

The runes of Central Continent lit up, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the sky.

The void froze instantly.

An aura of an emperor, surpassing all living beings, descended from the place where the light disappeared.

The spatial barrier of the Demon Court's Dead Zone was directly torn apart. A void passage spanning millions of miles was forcibly opened.

Space fragments flew everywhere along the edge of the passage, tearing through the deathly silence of the sky.

An ancient, bronze bell projection slowly emerged from the passage.

Zhen Tianzhong.

The surface of the bell is engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and plants. The laws of the Great Emperor surround it. Every vibration causes the void to resonate.

The projection of the giant bell descended upon the Demon Court's death ground. The entire ruins of the Moon Palace were utterly reduced to dust under the Emperor's might. The ice layer vanished into nothingness.

Su Chang'an raised her head. Her nine icy blue fox tails were taut under the emperor's might. She gripped the Taiyin Moon Amber tightly, facing the giant bronze bell that had crossed realms.
