The only solace was a flickering light, a golden glow that rose and fell, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, yet never fading, guiding Ye Tian slowly forward.
This "region" was vast, and though he had been walking for an unknown amount of time, there were no walls in sight, let alone an end. In this void-like space, Ye Tian felt like a small boat drifting in a boundless sea, unsure of its destination.
At this moment, in an unknown place, colorful lights swirled around the altar, and Chen Qianrui's transformation had reached its final stage. Black mist continuously surged from the Beast Spirit, eventually taking the form of ferocious beasts that broke through the ground from deep below, escaping into the world.
The Beast Spirit was formed from the souls of countless beasts, sealed within the strange Monster Skull by ancient powers. The abilities contained within it were beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Even Cloudscar was not fully aware of this, but through Chen Qianrui's transformation and her actions to release all the beasts from the Beast Spirit, it was likely that the Monster Skull concealed earth-shattering secrets.
The souls of those beasts might serve to guard those secrets; however, Chen Qianrui had somehow managed to transform herself, effectively assimilating with the beasts so that they would not attack her.
Cloudscar flew swiftly, navigating through the depths below guided by his mental perception. Initially, he followed the dark river but later directly broke through the soil layers, advancing in a straight line toward the altar.
In the colorful mist, Chen Qianrui slightly opened her eyes; she could no longer be called human. Her originally graceful features were replaced by a monstrous visage, horns sprouting from her head and her eyes blood-red. Even her face was now covered in greenish scales.
A certain bloodlight burst forth as strands of dark blue-black mist emanated from her body, scattering in all directions.
"Cloudscar, do not ruin my plans; otherwise, not a single person from Cloud Sea Sect will survive!" The eerie voice of Shadow Falcon emerged from Chen Qianrui's throat, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Bang!
As soon as the voice echoed, the rock layer on the north side of the altar was shattered by immense force. Cloudscar appeared in pristine white robes, untainted by dust, floating down surrounded by white clouds.
The dark blue-black mist released earlier by Chen Qianrui reversed like a whale sucking water and finally coalesced into a massive black Ghost Hand that reached out toward him.
Cloudscar felt a flash of brilliance in his eyes as the mist beneath his feet rose, instantly transforming into a sharp blade that shot towards Ghost Hand.
Sizzle!
There was no thunderous roar, but if there had been others present, the tearing sound that split the air would have surely driven them to madness and shattered their nerves.
The White Cloud Sword easily pierced through Ghost Hand, maintaining its momentum as it suddenly slashed towards Chen Qianrui.
Chen Qianrui's face was no longer human; it had become even more twisted. The bloodlust in her eyes intensified, and she bared her teeth, resembling a furious beast.
Long fangs glimmered with a greenish light, and a droplet of saliva fell to the ground, instantly rising in a cloud of white smoke. Looking at the ground, the once solid stone platform had been corroded into a charred area several feet wide.
"You have succumbed to darkness; cease your actions now, and I will spare your life." Cloudscar frowned slightly. His former senior sister had transformed into this state. He didn't want to think about why, nor did he need to. However, as long as Chen Qianrui was willing to turn back, he would still grant her a chance at life.
"Roar!"
Chen Qianrui responded with an enraged roar that caused the dark river's waves to momentarily freeze before surging into towering waves.
"I know you still have a shred of clarity left; stop immediately." Cloudscar urged again. After all, this person before him, now corrupted, had once been his senior sister with whom he had practiced for many years. They had known each other for a long time.
They had shared youthful innocence and grown together from those pure days into maturity. They had common dreams and shared goals. It could be said that there was a deep bond between them.
This was also one of the reasons why Cloudscar, despite knowing better, chose to turn a blind eye to Qiu Tiande and Chen Qianrui.
But today, Chen Qianrui had already stepped onto the Demonic Path. He did not know her purpose, but he was well aware that if he allowed his senior sister to continue down this path, it could lead to devastation for the Cloud Sea Sect, Divine Wood County, or even broader regions.
"Please stop." Cloudscar urged once more, his voice barely above a whisper. He could see no familiarity in Chen Qianrui's eyes anymore; they were filled with bloodthirsty malice that seemed otherworldly.
He knew clearly that there was no possibility of redemption.
A faint golden mark appeared on his forehead, slowly revealing a Cloud Pattern. Cloudscar's eyes were half-closed, and his entire body gradually became transparent.
"Is it the supreme martial art of the Cloud Sea Sect that transcends the Thousand Clouds, the Extreme Cloud?!!" Chen Qianrui's pupils suddenly dilated. The Thousand Clouds was already an Extreme Martial Art, and the "Extreme Cloud" was an existence beyond the ultimate path. It was said that among all the sect masters of the Cloud Sea Sect, only the founding saint had successfully cultivated it. Unexpectedly, today it was displayed in the hands of Cloudscar.
"Spare me a way out." After a brief moment of rapid thought, Chen Qianrui spoke slowly.
Cloudscar was taken aback, his expression changing several times. After a moment, he sighed lightly, and the Cloud Pattern mark on his forehead slowly faded.
But at that moment, a cunning light suddenly flashed in Chen Qianrui's eyes. Her figure moved like a ghost, darting forward. They were already close to each other, and her speed surpassed any human comprehension.
In the blink of an eye, it was impossible to accurately describe what happened. In that true instant, a green-glowing, claw-like Ghost Hand reached for Cloudscar's vital point.
"Sigh..."
Cloudscar sighed lightly. The Cloud Pattern mark on his forehead reappeared, and without any visible movement, he transformed into a cloud of mist and drifted away.
With her attack missing, Chen Qianrui was furious. With a roar, an incredibly powerful Shockwave erupted within the limited space around the altar deep underground.
The river crashed violently against the rock layers, causing earth and stone to crumble. Huge cracks appeared, as if this space were about to collapse.
However, this did not affect the drifting mist. Around the dark and gloomy altar, white mist remained unaffected and slowly gathered until it once again coalesced into the form of Cloudscar before the Beast Spirit.
"You don't believe me at all, yet you feign concern and tell me to stand down?" Chen Qianrui turned back and shouted angrily. The ambush had failed; her last chance was gone.
"You have fallen into the Demonic Path, and you are no longer my senior sister." Cloudscar spoke lightly, his tone devoid of any emotion.
For the creature before him that claimed to be Chen Qianrui, he was well aware that it came from the void and was a true demon.
"Hahaha!" The creature occupying Chen Qianrui's Divine Consciousness suddenly burst into laughter. "Do you really think you can kill me?"
"Let's give it a try," Cloudscar's face appeared particularly stern at that moment, his delicate figure exuding an incredibly sharp aura, as if thousands of divine swords were poised to strike.
"The warriors of the Great Void Demon Clan are not something you insignificant humans can contend with!" The demon roared angrily, its wings shedding flesh, transforming into a pair of three-zhang-long bony wings after a violent surge.
A heavy stench emanated from them, with blood swirling around, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
"The Great Void Demon Clan..." Cloudscar frowned. He was naturally aware of the rumors about Void Beasts, but hearing it directly from this creature was a first for him.
"I am one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends under the Great Demon Lord, I am the Evil Demon! You mere humans should bow down in submission!" The creature claiming to be the Evil Demon flapped its wings, the bones creaking ominously, and in just a few breaths, its size surged to that of a small tower.
Faced with this unparalleled demon, Cloudscar showed no signs of fear. Instead, he pondered whether the Blood Leech King he had slain in the past was also one of those seventy-two Earthly Fiends, and if so, what rank it held.
"Do you recognize the Blood Leech King? From my observation, your strength should be comparable. Since I have killed it, I advise you to end it yourself," Cloudscar asked.
Upon hearing this, the Evil Demon displayed disdain. "The Blood Leech King? That was merely an insignificant void beast from my Great Void Demon Clan. How could it be compared to me!"
Although the Evil Demon spoke boastfully, Cloudscar could still discern from its expression and tone that it was lying.
"I advise you to roll back to where you came from. If I do not kill you today, go back and greet your so-called Great Demon Lord for me. Tell him that if he dares to come again, he should beware of my wrath that could annihilate your void!"
Cloudscar's tone suddenly turned sharp, his eyes shining brightly; at that moment, he seemed like the master of heaven and earth!
"Such arrogance! How could my Great Void Demon Clan be destroyed by a mere human like you!" The Evil Demon spoke defiantly, but its momentum had weakened somewhat. It knew its current situation; it had not fully merged with this body yet and could only exert about seventy percent of its power. Moreover, even if it could unleash its full strength, facing this peak individual from Divine Wood County left it with no confidence of escaping alive.
"The Blood Leech King has already fallen at his hands, and my strength is only slightly higher than that of the Blood Leech King..." The Evil Demon thought rapidly in his mind. His only hesitation now was not whether he could fight, but how it would look for the Great Void Demon Clan if he were to be scared off by a human.
"I will count to three. If you do not leave, do not blame me for exterminating you," Cloudscar said, extending his fingers as a faint glow wrapped around them.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
At the second count, the Evil Demon was still hesitating, but by the time the third count was spoken, it was too late for him to back down.
"I will leave immediately!" the Evil Demon shouted.
"It is too late!"
With a sharp command, Cloudscar flicked his fingers, and a beam of light shot out.
This beam appeared ordinary, but just as the Evil Demon attempted to flee, an endless mist suddenly enveloped him completely. Then, the beam slowly advanced, cutting through all of the Evil Demon's defenses like an unparalleled blade and directly piercing into his forehead.
