The Red Powder Demon, tasked with protecting the Evil God's true embryo, was subdued. However, True Man Situ realized the demon was released prematurely, indicating someone else had tampered with the altar. A powerful black shadow then attacked, overwhelming several cultivators before being revealed as Xiao Zhengming, an elder from the Xiao family, now serving the Evil Demon.

"From the very beginning until now, I have only ever been the servant of the Divine Lord."

The ancestor of the Daluo Sect inwardly cursed, understanding that the ancestor of the Xiao family was beyond any hope of rescue.

"Since we have known each other for so long, allow me to send you on your way." With those words, he hefted his formidable sword and once more descended upon the ancestor of the Xiao family.

The ancestors from the Little Spirit Sect, the Spirit Talisman Sect, and the one from Kun State's Heaven Void, all united their might to subdue and vanquish the ancestor of the Xiao family.

The Soul Suppressing Talisman was employed to contain the malevolent Qi emanating from the Xiao family's ancestor.

The Daluo Unification Sword became inextricably locked in combat with the ancestor of the Xiao family.

From the periphery, the Divine Thought Skill possessed by the ancestor of the Little Spirit Sect offered crucial support.

Meanwhile, the subtle Exorcising Thunder Light, gleaming upon the Thunderwood Sword, steadily eroded the formidable power of the Xiao family's ancestor.

The Primordial Spirit of the Xiao family's ancestor found itself suppressed, and the dark aura enveloping him began to recede, exposing the true state of his Primordial Spirit to all present.

His Primordial Spirit was already in a state of decay!

It was marred by countless bite marks, gnawed to the point of being unrecognizable, and a gaping void had been carved into its chest.

It was evident that the very foundation of his Primordial Spirit was critically damaged, yet the ancestor of the Xiao family became even more agitated, descending into a frenzy. Bolstered by the Evil Power, he exhibited a strength akin to a "final, brilliant burst before extinction."

The battle within Heaven Void raged fiercely, sending waves of Divine Thought rippling outwards in all directions.

True Man Situ found himself unable to intervene, nor did he possess the inclination to do so; his involvement would likely have minimal impact on the unfolding situation.

He had not forgotten his primary objective: to eradicate the Evil God True Embryo and avert the catastrophic crisis threatening the Qian Learning State Boundary and the entirety of the Qian State.

This was the paramount concern.

Seizing this opportune moment, True Man Situ's Divine Thought moved with incredible speed, meticulously sifting through all the complex causes and effects that had led to the current predicament.

Their objective for this expedition was clear: "to slay the god."

Conversely, the Evil Demons would undoubtedly seek to impede their progress.

It must have been Mr. Tu, through some form of arcane ritual, who summoned this corrupted ancestor of the Xiao family into the Divine Lord's nightmarish domain.

The ancestor of the Xiao family had also prematurely ruptured a Fetal Demon Egg, deploying it as a ruse to delay their party.

The crucial question remains... why the delay? Why not simply annihilate them?

Could it be... that the Evil God is incapable of slaying them?

While True Man Situ's heart had been perpetually shadowed by dread of the Evil God, he had overlooked a critical aspect: they might fear the Evil God, but the Evil God itself was, in fact,

wary of them as well.

This assembled group, comprising four Heaven Voids and ten Feather Transformations, represented a truly formidable force.

The Evil God, though immensely powerful, was not at its peak strength during this particular moment.

The Demon Monster Eggs had also not yet hatched.

Their combined strength was sufficient to instill apprehension in Mr. Tu, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and even the Evil God itself.

Consequently, Mr. Tu, the ancestor of the Xiao family, along with the Evil God's subservient forces, were compelled to resort to delaying tactics.

Once the Evil God fully awakens, they would all face utter destruction.

However, if the Evil God remains dormant, it signifies that their group possesses the superior strength.

In essence, at this precise juncture, the Evil God and the other demonic beings are at their most "vulnerable."

Upon grasping this realization, True Man Situ's mind became instantly clear, and his sense of urgency intensified.

They were under immense pressure to act swiftly and eliminate the Evil God at the earliest possible moment!

Currently, they held the upper hand as the "stronger" side, but should the Evil God awaken, the

power dynamic would immediately and drastically shift!

The situation would then devolve into an irreversible catastrophe.

A palpable aura of murderous intent ignited within True Man Situ's gaze.

According to his original strategy, he had intended to rescue Yu Er if at all possible.

The plan was to save Yu Er, and subsequently, slay the Evil God True Embryo.

However, he now found himself utterly lost, with no discernible method to save Yu Er. His comprehension of the Evil God's nature was far too limited, and he remained uncertain whether the Yu Er he might rescue would even retain her former self.

Furthermore, the current circumstances left him no time for prolonged deliberation.

He was left with no other recourse but to...

...destroy the Evil Embryo, along with Yu Er...

True Man Situ was assailed by profound internal conflict, his eyes reflecting a wave of agonizing murderous intent.

As if connected by an invisible tether, Wenren Wan sensed the imminent peril facing Yu Er and gradually perceived True Man Situ's grim resolution.

True Man Situ... was preparing to end Yu Er's life.

The very individual who had initially resolved to protect her child was now compelled to slay her own offspring.

Wenren Wan was suddenly engulfed by an overwhelming wave of sorrow.

Her voice grew hoarse, a desperate plea forming in her throat, wishing to beg True Man Situ to spare her Yu Er, but she found herself incapable of uttering the words.

This represented the ultimate calamity befalling the Qian Learning State Boundary.

True Man Situ himself was prepared to embrace death.

Could she truly abandon the lives of countless individuals across Qian State for the sake of her own child? Furthermore, this situation gravely impacted the Wenren family, the Shangguan family, her father, her husband... so many lives hung in the balance.

"But... Yu Er..."

Wenren Wan found herself unable to decide, tears welling in her eyes, her chest aching as if it would constrict and suffocate her.

True Man Situ dared not meet Wenren Wan's gaze. Enduring the immense guilt and pain gnawing at his conscience, he began his advance towards Yu Er. Sensing his murderous intent, the suppressed Fetal Demon, shrouded in crimson powder, let out a sharp shriek.

The ancestor of the Xiao family, in a state of frenzy, desperately tried to shield his Divine Lord but was relentlessly held back by the four Heaven Voids. In mere moments, True Man Situ stood before Yu Er.

He drew forth a sword, its surface intricately engraved with the Beidou Seven Stars, its celestial radiance dazzling. This weapon served as the Formation Pivot for the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation.

By plunging this sword into the Evil Embryo, a formidable Star power would be unleashed, capable of piercing the very essence of the Evil God. The goal was to utilize the starlight from heaven and earth to obliterate the Evil God True Embryo. Even if complete destruction proved impossible, significant damage could be inflicted upon the nascent Evil God.

The destiny of Qianxue and the fate of all living beings rested precariously on this single moment.

True Man Situ cast aside all hesitation; his eyes hardening with resolve, he raised the Seven Stars Sword, poised to strike the Evil God True Embryo. However, as he lifted his head, he met a pair of innocent, limpid eyes that held a subtle, chilling creepiness, gazing at him with a vacant stare. It was... Yu Er.

Yu Er simply watched him, her expression unreadable. True Man Situ's pupils snapped wide open, and a deathly cold seized his entire being. The Evil God... had it already awakened?!
