Under the onslaught of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, the Dark Tyrant was already covered in wounds.

  Even with its formidable regenerative abilities, it couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment from these two prodigies.

  As for Su Qingyue and Yun Ling, they were busy eliminating the approaching demons and monsters, preventing them from interfering with Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

  As night gradually fell, the Dark Tyrant, heavily injured by Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, erupted in a crimson glow amidst its roars.

  Its aura surged threefold.

  A terrifying dark aura swept across the heavens like a tsunami, and the Dark Tyrant lunged at Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang with a claw.

  Amidst the dark tide, a horrifying vision of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared, and the terrifying claw light slashed towards the two like a sword light, cutting through the myriad of demons.

  This sight caused Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's eyes to turn cold.

  Xiao Ming immediately activated his Godslayer talent, entering a berserk mode.

  With a fivefold increase in power, he unleashed the Chaos Technique, and the Human Emperor Banner erupted with a soul impact.

  The momentum was even more terrifying than when he suppressed Yun Feipeng.

  At this moment, Feng Xianhuang also unleashed her full strength, a terrifying phoenix phantom appearing behind her, sweeping the void with fiery intent, and then slashing out with the Phoenix Feather Sword.

  The sword light, like a phoenix feather falling, carried destructive power as it slashed towards the Dark Tyrant.

  In the next moment, even though the Dark Tyrant was incredibly fearsome, possessing thirty percent damage immunity and the ability to go berserk after being severely injured, it was still no match for the two prodigies.

  Under the combined assault of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, the Dark Tyrant's attack completely collapsed, and most of its body was slashed through on the spot.

  It seemed beyond recovery.

  As the Human Emperor Sword pierced through the Dark Tyrant one last time, the tyrant-level ghost was finally slain by the duo!

  A dark light merged into Xiao Ming's body, causing his already terrifying aura to surge once more.

  This was the empowerment of the Dark Tyrant's power!

  From this moment on, as long as Xiao Ming remained within the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, he not only possessed thirty percent damage immunity but could also enter a threefold berserk state after being severely injured.

  This ability could even stack with the Godslayer talent and the power of the gargoyle, elevating Xiao Ming's strength to an unimaginably terrifying level.

  "This ability can actually be shared between two people?"

  After acquiring the Dark Tyrant's power, Xiao Ming's face showed a hint of surprise.

  In a certain game from his past life, the Dark Tyrant's power could be shared among five people, but in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, it was slightly inferior.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  It could only be shared between two people.

  If he wished, he could condense a Dark Tyrant rune with a drop of blood and imprint it on another person.

  That person would then receive the empowerment of the Dark Tyrant's power.

  However, this empowerment could be retracted by him at any time, giving him control.

  Moreover, if he were to fall, the other person would lose this empowerment.

  "Brother Xiao Ming, look, isn't that... the seven-color fiendish energy?!"

  After defeating the Dark Tyrant, Su Qingyue looked at the deep pit the Dark Tyrant had been guarding and immediately showed a look of ecstasy.

  The seven-color fiendish energy.

  This was the most supreme fiendish energy of heaven and earth, capable of allowing one to forge a perfect Cave Heaven and potentially attain the Great Emperor in the future.

  Hearing this, Xiao Ming looked over, his eyes narrowing before showing a hint of disappointment.

  "This isn't the seven-color fiendish energy."

  "To be precise, it's a five-color fiendish energy in the process of transforming into seven-color fiendish energy. In terms of quality, it's not truly seven-color fiendish energy."

  In the deep pit before them, although the fiendish energy of heaven and earth shimmered with seven colors, two of the colors appeared rather illusory.

  It seemed not yet fully formed.

  Therefore, this fiendish energy wasn't truly seven-color fiendish energy, but a pseudo-seven-color fiendish energy more advanced than the five-color fiendish energy.

  It seemed that the Dark Tyrant had been guarding this place, likely to catalyze the transformation of this fiendish energy into true seven-color fiendish energy.

  Unfortunately, before the transformation could occur, the Dark Tyrant was slain by them.

  "Do you want to use this to forge a Cave Heaven?"

  Looking at the source of the fiendish energy, Xiao Ming asked Feng Xianhuang.

  Pseudo-seven-color fiendish energy.

  Although not as good as true seven-color fiendish energy, it could still forge an emperor-level Cave Heaven.

  "I like to pursue perfection..."

  Feng Xianhuang replied indifferently.

  Clearly, she didn't fancy the pseudo-seven-color fiendish energy.

  "Brother Xiao Ming, let me forge a Cave Heaven with it. This source of fiendish energy suits me."

  Hearing Feng Xianhuang's refusal, Su Qingyue spoke with some anticipation.

  Her physique was only at the Saint King level, and her cultivation technique was also a Saint King technique.

  If she could use the pseudo-seven-color fiendish energy to forge a Cave Heaven, it would be a qualitative transformation for her.

  As for the seven-color fiendish energy, she didn't aspire to it.

  Such a rare thing, even if found later, wouldn't be enough for several people to share.

  Better to leave it for Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

  If she could forge a Cave Heaven now, she could be of great help in future battles.

  "Alright, then you use this source of fiendish energy to forge a Cave Heaven."

  "Take advantage of the remaining daylight and absorb it quickly."

  Xiao Ming nodded in agreement.

  Hearing this, Su Qingyue excitedly dove into the source of fiendish energy, beginning to devour the pseudo-seven-color fiendish energy to forge her Cave Heaven.

  Though some surviving cultivators around were envious, none dared to rush over and compete.

  After all, the prodigy who could kill Yun Feipeng, along with another equally terrifying genius, would be courting death even if a large group attempted to challenge them.

  "You two guard Qingyue. I'm heading to the entrance of Old Remnant Village."

  Seeing Su Qingyue starting to forge her Cave Heaven, Xiao Ming instructed Feng Xianhuang and Yun Ling.

  As he finished speaking, Xiao Ming condensed a Dark Tyrant rune with his blood, embedding it into Feng Xianhuang's body, allowing her to gain the empowerment of the Tyrant's power.

  After completing this, Xiao Ming headed straight for the entrance of Old Remnant Village with the Dark Tyrant's corpse.

  Having slain numerous demons and monsters earlier, along with some reckless cultivators, the Human Emperor Sword had absorbed a significant amount of life force.

  The previously depleted life force was fully replenished, and with the addition of the Dark Tyrant's corpse, he could refine the Chaos Essence Blood twice more.

  Hopefully, this time, he could awaken that sliver of life force within Liu Shen!

  With this thought, Xiao Ming swiftly made his way to the entrance of Old Remnant Village.

  "This guy..."

  Feng Xianhuang watched Xiao Ming's departing figure, feeling an urge to follow.

  But seeing the surrounding cultivators eyeing them covetously, along with many demons and monsters arriving from afar, she ultimately dismissed the thought.

  If that piece of willow stump was indeed the demon emperor, and Xiao Ming could awaken a sliver of its life force, it would indeed be an incredible opportunity.

  However, this secret realm was extremely sinister. If Xiao Ming truly awakened an emperor, would the heavens undergo unknown changes?

  Amidst Feng Xianhuang's concerns, Xiao Ming arrived at the village entrance in no time.

  Gazing at the charred willow stump, Xiao Ming didn't hesitate, casually tossing the Dark Tyrant's corpse and spitting a mouthful of refined blood onto it.

  In the next moment, the Chaos Essence Blood was absorbed once again, and the willow stump showed no change, except the life force within it grew slightly stronger.

  This caused Xiao Ming's eyes to darken.

  "As the saying goes, 'third time's the charm.' This is the third time I've fed it, and the demon emperor still hasn't awakened?"

  Looking at the willow stump, Xiao Ming couldn't help but complain.

  Then, he swung the Human Emperor Sword to devour the Dark Tyrant's flesh essence, converting the absorbed energy into life force to nourish himself.

  After replenishing some of his internal depletion, Xiao Ming gritted his teeth, refined more essence blood, and infused it into the willow stump.

  Xiao Ming's face turned somewhat pale as the willow stump quickly absorbed the essence blood.

  Yet, there was still no reaction.

  This left Xiao Ming with a look of disappointment and frustration.

  "Forget it, I'll have to try again tomorrow..."

  Feeling like the willow stump was a bottomless pit, Xiao Ming turned away disinterestedly, preparing to return to the back mountain to reunite with Feng Xianhuang and the others.

  But just at that moment, the life force within the willow stump, now robust, suddenly fluctuated violently, causing Xiao Ming to turn back with a face full of surprise.
