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

"Finally... the calamity energy is enough."

The murmur drifted from the depths of the underworld, but it tolled a death knell in Su Chang'an's sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Chang'an's cold eyes narrowed sharply, and his Yin perception swept across the entire underground cavern along the obsidian floor. Wherever the extreme cold law passed, the Nine Netherworld Refining God Array, which should have collapsed along with the core chains, now presented a chilling and eerie state.

The array patterns did not dissipate. Those dark red lines were like living meridians, saturated with blood, flowing in reverse in a way that defied the natural order of things.

The massive array base no longer emitted the stripped sword intent outwards; instead, it collapsed inwards, transforming into a bottomless black hole. It was frantically craving some kind of more violent and extreme special energy.

This is not some kind of killing formation that extracts sword bones; it is a bottomless abyss that has been brewing for three thousand years, just waiting for a sacrifice to enter the game.

Su Chang'an suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Bai Yin beside him.

At this moment, Bai Yin was on the verge of breaking down. His dark golden vertical pupils were filled with fine blood vessels as he stared intently at Chen Xuan, who was covered in blood but still clutching Su Chang'an's jade pendant tightly in Gu Xiang's arms.

The thick stench of blood filled the enclosed cave, constantly stimulating the bloodthirsty instincts of the Bai Yin demon race. Jealousy, resentment, and the bitterness of being torn apart day and night by the black sand storms in the far west for nine years surged within his chest at this moment.

He watched as Su Chang'an recklessly froze the chains, and saw the undisguised heartache in her eyes. Bai Yin felt his heart being squeezed tightly, the pain making it hard to breathe.

The malevolent energy within him, forcibly suppressed for three thousand days and nights, was now surging wildly through his violently pulsating meridians. It emitted low, rumbling sounds, like a ferocious beast about to break free of its cage.

Li Changgeng keenly sensed this restlessness. On his withered, aged face, a strange smile gradually widened, and a trembling fervor flickered in his deep-set eyes.

"The Demon King of Yunmengze? How utterly laughable." Li Changgeng spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it carried the laws of a quasi-emperor, precisely piercing Bai Yin's eardrum.

Bai Yin suddenly raised his head, letting out a dangerous growl, and the dark red Asura White Tiger Dharma Image shook violently behind him.

Li Changgeng remained unyielding, the curve of his lips growing increasingly cruel, each word piercing the heart: "Do you know why, back in the Moon Palace, she would rather sacrifice her very essence, having her heart's blood drained, than go with you?"

Bai Yin's body stiffened abruptly, and the murderous aura around him momentarily froze. It was the deepest, most untouchable festering scar in his heart.

"Because of the extremely inauspicious fate associated with you."

Li Changgeng's voice brutally reopened that wound, "You were born a calamity for the world, and those who come near you are destined to meet a bad end."

"If she goes with you, she will have to bear the eternal punishment that will haunt you."

"It's you, it's your damned fate that forced her to fill that hole with her life! You are the culprit who killed her!"

Once cause and effect get out of control, it can burn everything, pot and all, to the ground.

Li Changgeng's words caused him to completely lose control.

"roar--!"

A mournful tiger's roar exploded within the cave.

Bai Yin's reason completely collapsed in that instant. His eyes bled, and the dark gold in his eyes was completely swallowed by the dense blackness.

The pure Geng metal evil energy within him underwent a terrifying transformation amidst extreme pain and self-reproach, with dark red energy beginning to be mixed with pitch-black lightning.

That was a tribulation lightning sent down by the Heavenly Dao, a destructive force born from the complete loss of control of an extremely malevolent destiny.

As soon as this force appeared, the obsidian walls inside the cave began to crack extensively. Gu Xiang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated his righteous energy to protect the weakened Chen Xuan in his arms, retreating repeatedly.

Chen Xuan struggled to open his eyes, his pupils contracting violently as he stared at the terrifying tribulation lightning, interwoven with black and red. It had completely transcended the realm of demonic energy, carrying an aura of deathly stillness that threatened to annihilate everything in the world.

"Bai Yin, stop! This is a trap!"

Su Chang'an shouted loudly, and the Taiyin Moon Amber burst out with unprecedented light. The extreme cold law transformed into chains of frost, attempting to forcibly restrain Bai Yin's rampaging body.

But it was too late.

Completely blinded by the aura of calamity, Bai Yin had only one thought in his mind at this moment—kill! Kill everything in front of him, and tear apart this old thief who had reopened his wounds!

"die!"

Bai Yin transformed into a streak of dark red light, moving at a speed so fast it tore through the heavens and earth, even space itself could not withstand it. He left behind a jet-black void rift, carrying a tiger claw of tribulation lightning capable of destroying the world, and slammed straight towards Li Changgeng's chest.

The intense tension seemed to freeze the air in the entire cave. Su Chang'an's Taiyin Sword Qi followed closely behind, attempting to sever the calamity energy before the tiger's claws could strike, but Bai Yin's burst of speed was simply too fast, reaching the limit of burning one's life force.

Faced with this fatal blow that could severely injure or even kill a quasi-emperor, Li Changgeng did not make any defense.

He neither dodged nor avoided the attack; in fact, he opened his arms to meet it.

"Pfft—"

The sound of flesh tearing apart rang out.

Bai Yin's tiger claw, wreathed in black and red tribulation lightning, pierced through Li Changgeng's chest without any resistance. The quasi-emperor's blood gushed out, instantly staining Li Changgeng's tattered Daoist robe and splattering all over Bai Yin's ferocious face.

The scalding blood failed to elicit any screams from the enemy.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Li Changgeng vomited mouthfuls of blood, yet a maniacal laugh escaped his throat. His withered gray hair danced wildly under the impact of the tribulation lightning, and his eyes were fixed on Bai Yin, who was standing close at hand, filled with triumphant madness.

Just then, a chilling roar erupted from the deepest part of the cave.

The reversed black hole of the Nine Nether Refining God Array finally reached a critical point after receiving this burst of calamity energy at close range. The space in front shattered and peeled away, revealing the deep, boundless, absolute darkness behind it, a darkness that could even devour light.

"I've been waiting three thousand years for this aura of calamity emanating from you!"

Ignoring the gaping hole in his chest, Li Changgeng suddenly raised his withered left hand and gripped Bai Yin's wrist tightly, which was piercing through his chest.

At this moment, the laws of a quasi-emperor erupted without reservation. Countless gray threads, following Bai Yin's arm, forcefully burrowed into his meridians, forcibly extracting the continuous flow of black and red calamity energy from his body.

Bai Yin let out a painful roar, trying to pull his arm back, only to find that Li Changgeng's hand bones were firmly welded to his wrist.

"open!"

Li Changgeng shouted sharply and suddenly opened his right hand.

A wisp of primordial purple energy imbued with the aura of the Great Dao, along with dozens of crystallized artifacts of time forcibly extracted from the Zhen Tian Bell and shimmering with the laws of time, appeared simultaneously in his palm.

Li Changgeng wasn't seeking immortality; he simply couldn't swallow the lingering resentment from three thousand years ago. Therefore, he was willing to drag the entire Central Continent down with him.

He drew the extreme evil energy from Bai Yin's body, along with the primordial purple energy and the crystallization of time, and hurled it all at that shattered dark abyss.

"Boom—!"

The entire land of Central Continent trembled violently at that moment.

With the forceful injection of three supreme powers, a massive rift was torn open in the dark abyss. An ancient, vast, and otherworldly aura surged forth from the crack.

A magnificent, endless, and illusory river slowly emerges in the broken void of the cave.

The river flows silently, and in every wave, countless scenes of history flicker: the roar of an emperor conquering the stars, the blood rain of fallen gods and demons, and the changes of time.

That is an absolute taboo that even the Great Emperor dared not easily touch, the River of Time!

As the river of time unfolded, a terrifying aura of the Nine Heavens Tribulation instantly locked onto this space. It was the ultimate annihilation by the Heavenly Dao against those who dared to reverse time and space.

Inside the cave, Gu Xiang, Chen Xuan, and Su Chang'an all felt intense suffocation under this oppressive force. The laws of heaven and earth were collapsing, spiritual energy was annihilating, and everything was regressing towards the most primordial nothingness.

outside world.

Those powerful figures from Central Continent who were spying on the Chen family's ancestral land through the water mirror were now completely terrified.

The water mirrors shattered under the impact of the laws of time, but the terrifying aura that swept across the entire Central Continent clearly conveyed a chilling truth.

"He's gone mad... that madman Li Changgeng!"

"That's the scent of time! He actually forced open the river of time!"

The news spread instantly to every corner of Central Continent, causing unprecedented panic.

Deep within the Wang family compound, the Supreme Ancestor, who had been in seclusion, suddenly burst open his cave, his eyes filled with utter horror.

In the ancestral land of the Ji family, several ancient monsters with profound knowledge and experience, who had been dormant for many years, broke out of their seclusion and stared in disbelief in the direction of the Chen family's ancestral land, their bodies trembling.

Reversing the flow of time is like pulling a hair, affecting the whole body.

Once out of control, not only the Chen family, but the entire causal chain of the Central Continent will collapse, and all living beings will be swept into the temporal turbulence, never to recover!

At this moment, at the heart of this world-ending crisis, Li Changgeng, his chest bleeding, looked up at the magnificent river, his face filled with a morbid obsession and resolute determination.

"Master, your disciple has come to pick you up."
