An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

"boom!"

The moment the mad ramblings echoed in his mind, a pure and holy white flame rose directly from his dantian, instantly burning away the remaining distracting thoughts and resentment!

As the pure medicinal power was perfectly absorbed, Xiao Fan's comprehension and physical constitution were also improved.

What delighted him even more was the stimulation from this miraculous medicinal power.

A cracking sound actually came from deep within his ancient holy body!

His ancient holy body actually broke through another shackle with the help of this medicinal power!

The seventh shackle is broken!

Although his cultivation level did not break through as a result, his physical strength would increase dramatically with each additional shackle of the Holy Body he broke!

When the Daoist saw that Xiao Fan had refined the pills safely, he nodded in satisfaction.

It also waved out a [Questioning Jade Certificate], bestowing it upon Xiao Fan and announcing his right to move freely.

This means that Xiao Fan also gained the privilege of breaking the underlying rules and freely exploring opportunities in this cruel instance!

After obtaining the jade tablet, Xiao Fan's gaze, hidden beneath his black robe, swept across the plaza with a chilling intensity and landed on Li Qingyue in the distance.

The suppressed, extreme killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible.

Although he had gained access to the exploration area, his primary goal remained unchanged: to personally kill Li Qingyue, that vile woman, in this secret realm and wash away the humiliation he had suffered!

Just then.

"This concludes the ministry for tonight."

The preacher coldly announced something, and then its figure, along with the high platform, vanished into thin air in the square amidst a gray mist.

With the disappearance of the highest oppressive force, the chosen ones in the square breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return to their assigned areas together.

Just as Xiao Fan was preparing to quietly approach Li Qingyue's direction.

"Fan'er, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, the old apothecary within the ring spoke, his tone revealing an unusual urgency and excitement: "I just used my remaining divine soul power to scan this mountain range and discovered a wonderful place! In a valley not far from here lies a fortuitous opportunity perfectly suited to your Ancient Sacred Body!"

"Go and seize this opportunity! Once your Holy Body advances another level, dealing with that little girl at the ninth level of Ascension will be a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing about the immense opportunity, Xiao Fan's greed instantly overcame his killing intent.

He decisively suppressed the urge to act immediately, took a deep look at Li Qingyue's back, turned around and transformed into a black shadow, quickly disappearing into the night.

At the same time, deep within Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Li's double pupils also pierced through layers of void, precisely locking onto the hidden valley.

In fact, there is no need to use divine sense to investigate.

He could practically draw a map with his eyes closed about the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, which he had fought against for many years, and what secrets it held.

However, since this place has now become a bizarre instance with distorted rules, he used his divine sense to confirm it just to be on the safe side.

"It's still there after all." A faint smile appeared on Lu Li's lips.

He immediately said to Lu Xueyao in his mind, "Xueyao, forget about everyone else, set off immediately and go to a valley in the back mountain."

Without any delay, Lu Xueyao immediately took the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, quietly left the crowd, and rushed towards the direction Lu Li had indicated.

Meanwhile, under the guidance of the old apothecary, Xiao Fan had already stepped into the hidden valley.

As soon as they stepped into the valley, a dense, almost solidified demonic and malevolent aura rushed towards them.

In the center of the valley, there lies a pool of blood from the Yellow Springs!

This pool of water was not ordinary blood, but rather a strange, dark red color. A thin layer of blood-red mist even floated on the surface, emanating terrifying energy fluctuations that made one's blood boil.

"Such a rich source of bloodlust! If I can absorb and refine it, my sacred body will definitely undergo another qualitative change!" Xiao Fan's eyes blazed with fanatical greed.

However, just as he was about to get closer to the blood pool, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

To his astonishment, he discovered that a woman was sitting quietly beside this desolate pool of blood from the underworld!

The woman was wearing a thin, semi-transparent blood-red gauze dress.

She had a slender figure, and her face was absolutely stunning. This kind of alluring charm, with a hint of eeriness and sorrow, could steal anyone's soul.

Even someone as mentally resilient as Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a strong surge of greed and possessiveness the moment he saw this stunning woman.

"Fan'er! Wake up!"

The old apothecary inside the ring let out an anxious, stern shout, like a bucket of cold water being poured over someone's head: "Close your eyes! That's not a living person at all! It's a unique evil spirit nurtured by the Blood Pool over countless years! Retreat!"

Xiao Fan shuddered, instantly snapping out of his daze, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

However, it was too late. The stunningly beautiful woman sitting by the pool of blood seemed to have sensed the presence of a living person.

She slowly stood up, her bare, snow-white feet floating in front of Xiao Fan like a ghost.

She tilted her head slightly, speaking in a voice that was both captivating and chilling.

A question was asked.

"Young master..."

Do you think I'm beautiful?

Faced with the question from this stunningly beautiful woman, Xiao Fan felt a chilling aura instantly envelop his entire body. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, firmly rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch.

Under the weight of fear and the oppression of this indescribable rule, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and he forced out a single word in a trembling voice.

"beautiful……"

"Giggle giggle..."

Upon hearing this answer, the stunningly beautiful woman's lips instantly curled into a terrifying smile, revealing a breathtaking yet chilling expression.

This woman was none other than an A-level eerie, disguised ghost!

"Since you find it beautiful, then I... will give this skin to you."

The Painted Skin Demon's voice turned shrill and mournful: "But as a price, this servant... also needs your skin, young master!"

The next moment, the pattern of murder was completely triggered!

The once delicate body of the Painted Skin Ghost suddenly transformed into a scarlet afterimage, lunging towards Xiao Fan like a ghost.

Its originally fair and jade-like hands reached straight for Xiao Fan's face!

"not good!"

Xiao Fan's face turned pale. He was horrified to discover that under the strange rule lock of this A-level, the golden blood of the Ancient Sacred Body in his body, which should have been inexhaustible, was frozen and could not circulate at all!

"Fan'er, hold on!"

At this critical moment, the old apothecary inside the ring let out an anxious shout.
