The improved female villains regained their memories.

Witnessing the lone wolf depart, Luo Benmo rose and flew towards the memorial cemetery of the Immortal Sword Sect.

That is where the Immortal Sword Sect buries its disciples who died in battle.

She walked up to a tombstone, wiped off the dust, and revealed the words on it.

Gu Tianzhen, a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect.

Cause of death: He died after being poisoned by blood poison while fighting a bloodthirsty person to save a family's child.

Luo Benmo stroked the tombstone repeatedly and asked the mysterious man, "Is she the female protagonist of the world you mentioned?"

"Yes," the mysterious man replied hastily.

Before the cave of suffering, the mysterious man told Luo Benmo about the Heavenly Dao, the female protagonist, and the female villain. He even told Yang Pingsheng about his purpose in coming here, but in return, he received a severe beating from Luo Benmo.

Luo Benmo's intuition was so strong that he dared not speak casually, and could only say bits and pieces, because he was afraid that Luo Benmo would realize that it was fake.

She didn't even want to watch the video the mysterious man showed her, because she didn't trust him at all.

"My intuition tells me you're here to lie to me," Luo Benmo said, pulling out his immortal weapon, the Thunder Whip, and lashing it at him.

The rhetoric used on Wen Shihan had no effect on Luo Benmo. After being beaten up, the mysterious man simply shut up and answered whatever Luo Benmo asked him.

Now, Luo Benmo asked the mysterious man about the female lead again, and the man could only answer yes. He was telling the truth, of course, but Luo Benmo was not satisfied.

“My gut feeling tells me you’re hiding something from me.” She turned her head to look at him.

The mysterious man was startled, but quickly waved his hand with a smile: "No, no, I'm not hiding anything. Gu Tianzhen is indeed the female protagonist of this world."

"If there's a female lead, then there must be a male lead, right?" Her dark eyes remained fixed on him, unwavering. "Where's the male lead?"

"This……"

"Not going to talk?"

The mysterious man cursed inwardly, then said helplessly, "Your younger brother, Luo Benqing."

Luo Benmo gave an "oh" and immediately unleashed a deadly immortal technique.

At this moment, Luo Benqing, who was at home whispering sweet nothings to his eighteenth concubine, suddenly received a frantic alert from the system.

"Warning! Warning! Host's life is in danger. Please leave this world immediately."

"What?" Luo Benqing was a little confused, not quite understanding what was going on. "What's going on, System? I haven't even rested for thirty years yet, how come I'm already leaving?"

The original agreement was that once the mission of "protecting Gu Tianzhen until the female villain Luo Benmo disappears" was completed, he would rest in this world for thirty years. That time hasn't even been up yet, so why the sudden rush? Most importantly, where is the danger to his life? Hasn't the mission already ended?

Luo Benqing had reason to suspect that the system was trying to trick him into continuing to work.

Before he could react, the world spun around him, and he felt a cold wind rushing over his head. From his bed to the cemetery, before he could even see his surroundings clearly, those silvery-white hairs were already right in front of him.

puff.

He stared wide-eyed as the other person inserted their hand into his head.

Intense pain shot through him, and his soul howled in agony, yet he was already firmly held in Luo Benmo's grasp.

"The male lead?"

Luo Benmo tilted his head: "So, who is this person who has taken over my younger brother's soul?"

Chapter Thirty-Five: Luo Benmo Devours the Heavens

The soul was annihilated in the hands of Luo Benmo.

A ball of light burst forth from it and hurtled toward the heavens.

Luo Benmo had already sensed it; from within the sky full of thunderclouds, a bolt of lightning struck down, shattering the sphere of light. With a wave of her hand, she absorbed the sphere of light and the fragments of the soul into her spiritual sea.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I'll look into it myself."

The mysterious man swallowed hard. The biggest variable had appeared: Luo Benmo didn't seem to care that much about Yang Pingsheng. Compared to Yang Pingsheng, everything she was experiencing now was what she wanted.

Luo Benmo's killing intent towards him is increasing; if he doesn't come up with a solution, he'll most likely die here.

Calm down, calm down. If everything was arranged in advance by Luo Benmo, then she wouldn't have shown any mercy to me. The reason she hasn't killed me yet is firstly because she needs someone to explain, and secondly because of her intuition. Her intuition tells her that she can't kill me now.

Intuition…that’s it, intuition! Among all the female villains, Luo Benmo isn’t the most cunning. Her advance planning and subsequent methods all stem from her intuition; it’s her intuition that tells her to do this. So the key isn’t how to deceive Luo Benmo, but how to deceive her intuition!

No, that's not right! Perhaps I'm mistaken. Luo Benmo isn't indifferent to Yang Pingsheng; on the contrary, she cares deeply, which is why she didn't kill me. Her intuition likely tells her that if she killed me, she might lose Yang Pingsheng forever.

Because of myself, I hold the coordinates.

Thinking of this, the mysterious man was no longer so nervous. He tried his best to appear relaxed and said slowly, "If you want to study it, please do so. Of course, I still have to make it clear first that it is something of the Heavenly Dao. If you study it rashly, you will be punished by the Heavenly Dao."

A cold wind blew by, and Luo Benmo looked at him, slowly placing his hand on Gu Tianzhen's tombstone.

"Divine retribution?"

Her silvery-white hair danced like the hissing of venomous snakes.

"When I was a child, a fortune teller said I was born evil, destined for utter defeat and loneliness, and that everyone except my younger brother would be killed by me. But look at me now, this den of villains, this bloodline cultivator, all my subordinates—have they been killed by me?"

"Stop trying to scare me with your talk of the Heavenly Dao." Luo Benmo gathered lightning in his palm and let it spread across the tombstone. "Like now, if I were to destroy Gu Tianzhen's tombstone, would the Heavenly Dao stop me? Could it stop me? If it did, would it still be worthy of being called the Heavenly Dao?"

The dry, cold air filled his lungs, and cold sweat dripped down his face. The mysterious man remained calm, trying his best not to reveal any flaws.

"So, you don't believe in the will of Heaven?"

"The Way of Heaven? Of course I believe in that." Luo Benmo sneered. The condensed lightning did not shatter the tombstone, but instead struck the mysterious man along her fingertips. "The question is, are you worthy to represent the Way of Heaven?"

Heaven.

The ultimate goal of cultivators is to merge with the Dao of Heaven and enter the realm of immortals.

The mysterious man kept trying to scare her with talk of the Heavenly Dao, which Luo Benmo scoffed at. She walked step by step, her intuition playing a crucial role, and it told her that the mysterious man was nothing but bluster.

A python of lightning coiled around the mysterious man, aimed at his face beneath his hood. Just a step away, the mysterious man suddenly shouted, "What about Yang Pingsheng? Don't you care about him either?!"

The lightning finally stopped.

The thick, dark clouds faintly glowed with a bloody light, stirring up the thunder within, which was also tinged with a hint of blood.

"My life."

Many years ago, back when he was still in the den of villains, Luo Benmo asked Lone Wolf a question.

"If someone suddenly barged into your life, what would you do?"

Lone Wolf thought for a moment and replied, "That depends on what kind of person that is to me."

"What do you mean?"

"Love and hatred are different."

Luo Benmo withdrew the lightning.

She looked at the mysterious man and asked, "Can you lead me to Yang Pingsheng?"

The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, you should have realized it too. He is from beyond the heavens."

How can I find him?

"It's useless now, you can't cross worlds yet..."

Luo Benmo looked at him, and he looked at Luo Benmo.

The mysterious man suddenly realized something, and his voice trembled: "No way..."

A streak of blood-red light shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third, and a fourth surge of blood-red light appeared all over the continent.

Back then, Luo Benmo turned everyone in Lingquan City into bloodthirsty people and let them all flee north. Most of them concealed their bloodthirsty identities and settled in the north.

Now, their descendants are scattered all over the world. Lingquan City already had a large population base, and a century later, their descendants have multiplied many times over.

The offspring of bloodthirsty people are also bloodthirsty people.

Those blood spirit roots that had been planted are now being collected by Luo Benmo. Countless beams of blood light converge and hover above the Immortal Sword Sect.

Lone Wolf, Iron Ox, and Spirit Monkey, along with the Earthly Fiends and Heavenly Generals, gathered in the square.

"Is that all?" Tie Niu asked.

"Then how many more do you want?" Lone Wolf retorted. "Just this many people, do you know how much effort it took me to get them?"

At this point, Lone Wolf looked at Monkey: "Speaking of which, didn't you settle down and start a family? You've had quite a few grandchildren over the past hundred years, and you're just going to leave with us like this?"

"I'm already dead," the tall, thin monkey chuckled. Having regained his youth, he was in excellent condition. "My children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Let them worry about it. I've lived for a hundred years; I should see some new things, shouldn't I?"

He tilted his head and looked at Lone Wolf, grinning and chuckling, "But speaking of which, you guys kept it a secret quite well. Back then, when you were being chased and killed by the righteous path, your leader didn't even give you a word. I thought you were all finished. Turns out the big boss is right here."

"...Whether it's big or not, the main thing is, I didn't expect it either."

Luo Benmo always relied on intuition. She probably didn't even know why she set up the scheme or why she laid the groundwork, but she did it anyway. If she didn't know, Lone Wolf couldn't possibly know either.

"The Immortal Sword Sect is truly a wonderful place."

Luo Benmo looked at the blood-red light filling the sky and activated his sword spirit.

The long-dormant sword spirit stirred, simultaneously summoning three other things.

Lone Wolf was already prepared, and responded as soon as Luo Benmo reacted.

Like dust and light, like the vast ruins, there are no flowers.

With all four elements in place, Luo Benmo activated the grand formation, pointing directly at the heavens.

The World's Will was enraged. The lightning that filled the sky was no longer under Luo Benmo's control, but was instead manipulated by the World's Will, and it hurtled towards Luo Benmo and the group of Blood Path disciples.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The four items were placed in the east, west, south, and north, with Luo Benmo in the center, his blood mist blocking the lightning tribulation.

The mysterious man already knows what Luo Benmo is planning.

She wanted to devour the heavens.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Bloodlight Guides the Way Forward

The Record of Cultivating the Heavenly Dao states: The Great Dao is empty and formless, yet its influence is infinite and boundless. In its profound depths, it is the root of all things, hidden and ethereal yet actually existing.

It is so simple that even mortals can use it, yet it is also so complex that even true immortals can only barely trace its features.
