Old Remnant Village, Back Mountain.

  As night fell, a mysterious force of rules enveloped the entire world. All the demons and monsters let out chilling howls, their strength doubling under the secret realm's laws.

  Meanwhile, the cultivators who entered the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm found their powers suppressed by thirty percent.

  The entire back mountain was already a scene of chaos. The cultivators who had lingered there earlier had now retreated to the shelters.

  Those who couldn't leave in time were torn to pieces by the monster tide.

  The place where the Dark Tyrant had been was now engulfed in a brutal battle.

  Many demons and monsters crazily charged at Feng Xianhuang and Yun Ling, but before they could get close, the two women had already slain them together.

  After all, one could already wield the power of intent, enhanced by the power of the Tyrant.

  The other had restored her cultivation to the fifth level of Cave Heaven, and had forged a Quasi-Emperor level Cave Heaven.

  Even under the suppression of the secret realm's laws, the strength of the two women remained terrifying.

  In just a short moment, the area around the source of the evil aura was piled with the remains of many demons.

  "This won't do."

  "There are too many demons and monsters. We will eventually run out of strength. Once Qingyue successfully forges her Cave Heaven, we must return to Old Remnant Village."

  Casually slaying two demons, Feng Xianhuang spoke to Yun Ling.

  Who knows how Xiao Ming is doing?

  But since there hasn't been any major commotion at the village entrance, it seems he hasn't awakened that demon emperor yet.

  Boom!!

  Just as Feng Xianhuang finished speaking, a thunderous roar erupted.

  A towering pillar of light shot up behind them.

  Su Qingyue rose into the air like a goddess, a massive Cave Heaven appearing behind her, its internal world expanding wildly.

  One thousand meters!

  ...

  Five thousand meters!

  ...

  Ten thousand meters!

  ...

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Sixty-six thousand meters!

  In just a moment, Su Qingyue's internal Cave Heaven expanded from one thousand meters to sixty-six thousand meters.

  An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Su Qingyue.

  Though her cultivation fluctuation was only at the first level of Cave Heaven, the pressure she emitted could rival Yun Ling at the fifth level of Cave Heaven.

  This was the massive boost brought by a strong foundation!

  With an internal Cave Heaven reaching sixty-six thousand meters, if nothing unexpected happened and her techniques and resources kept up, she had a high chance of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

  "Sister, you're too strong."

  "This time, forging your Cave Heaven reached sixty-six thousand meters. In front of you, I'm nothing."

  Seeing Su Qingyue in the void, transformed like a goddess descending to the mortal world, Yun Ling, after slaying a few demons, came over with a face full of joy.

  "Sister, don't say that."

  "If it weren't for your help along the way, and Xiao Ming and Sister Xianhuang giving up this source of evil aura, how could I have achieved this?"

  "It's all just luck."

  Su Qingyue shook her head, speaking humbly.

  From entering the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm until now, she had only helped with minor demons, not contributing much.

  Her current achievements were all thanks to Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

  "Let's keep it short."

  "Let's find Xiao Ming and regroup. This place isn't safe for long."

  Watching Su Qingyue and Yun Ling exchange pleasantries, Feng Xianhuang unleashed a powerful attack and urged them to break through.

  Just as they were about to rush out of the back mountain, a deafening roar came from ahead, and Xiao Ming emerged from the abyss like a demon god.

  The Human Emperor Banner hung above him, and the Human Emperor Sword danced around him.

  Wherever he passed, all demons and monsters within thirty meters were torn to pieces.

  The might was utterly terrifying.

  "Brother Xiao Ming!!"

  Seeing Xiao Ming's arrival, Su Qingyue was overjoyed, almost wanting to leap into his arms.

  "Not bad."

  "An internal Cave Heaven of sixty-six thousand meters, you definitely have the potential of an Emperor."

  Seeing the Cave Heaven behind Su Qingyue, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction and then said to the others, "You all head back to Old Remnant Village and find shelter. Tonight, I'm going to unleash a massacre here."

  On the way here, he had already slain many demons and monsters, replenishing his previous losses.

  But it was still far from enough.

  He needed to store more vitality to refine more blood essence later, to directly feed Liu Shen a few hundred milliliters!

  "You plan to unleash a massacre here?!"

  Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Feng Xianhuang and Su Qingyue were taken aback. It was a reckless move.

  After all, no one knew what horrors the night in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm might conceal, and fighting recklessly at night was unwise.

  "I'll stay with Brother Xiao Ming!"

  As soon as Feng Xianhuang finished speaking, Su Qingyue immediately chimed in.

  Wherever Xiao Ming was, she would be there, even if it meant facing danger, she could still contribute.

  "I'll join too, the more people, the better."

  After Su Qingyue spoke, Yun Ling also added.

  "Then let's go together."

  Seeing the two women's insistence, Xiao Ming did not refuse.

  Once they agreed, Xiao Ming and the others began their battle in the night.

  This time, because he needed a large amount of vitality to replenish his losses, Xiao Ming did not let the Human Emperor Sword devour the flesh and blood essence to evolve, but instead converted it into vitality stored within the sword.

  To refine blood essence later.

  After battling for two full hours, Feng Xianhuang and the others were clearly exhausted, so Xiao Ming led them to the entrance of Old Remnant Village.

  A strange scene unfolded.

  Within ten meters of a stone tablet and a willow stump, not a single demon or monster dared to approach, forming a natural shelter.

  Unfortunately, since most cultivators were gathered at the back mountain, no one discovered this anomaly.

  Xiao Ming and the others entered this ten-meter area, watching the surrounding demons and monsters howl but none daring to attack.

  They all wore strange expressions.

  Turning around, Feng Xianhuang looked solemnly at the charred willow stump.

  Combining this eerie scene with Xiao Ming's earlier actions, she was certain...

  This willow stump was the remnant of the demon emperor's body.

  "Xiao Ming, do you really... want to awaken her?"

  Confirming this fact, Feng Xianhuang spoke with a heavy tone.

  An alive Great Emperor, even if severely injured, was unimaginably terrifying.

  If awakened and hostile towards them, it could spell disaster.

  "Don't worry, I know what you're concerned about, but I have a backup plan!"

  Seeing Feng Xianhuang's serious expression, Xiao Ming smiled and waved his hand.

  He knew what Feng Xianhuang was worried about, and he had considered this issue carefully.

  To prevent any mishaps, he had a contingency plan with the blood essence.

  If the demon emperor, upon awakening, harbored ill intentions towards him, he would use the chaos technique to trigger the absorbed blood essence, causing a devastating backlash to the demon emperor!

  With this thought, Xiao Ming unhesitatingly offered the blood essence to nourish Liu Shen, then absorbed the vitality from the Human Emperor Sword to recover his losses.

  He repeated the process of refining blood essence and nourishing Liu Shen five times.

  The vitality within Liu Shen surged like a shot of adrenaline, spreading throughout the willow stump.

  Even with the interference of the secret realm's power, this vitality was unstoppable, causing new buds to sprout from the willow stump.

  As a crystalline willow branch, adorned with leaves, grew from the stump, a terrifying will awakened within it.

  The entire Ghost Fiend Secret Realm trembled violently, countless demons and monsters howled madly, instinctively kneeling to the ground.

  As if a terrifying presence capable of disrupting the entire realm had opened its eyes!
