Ye Xuan emerged from the Divine Palace after two years, carrying the Mortal Emperor's Corpse. He learned that the destruction of Sacred Lands was complete and that the world had changed. He met with the Black Sky Mysterious Goddess, who revealed that Zhou Youwei had disappeared and that the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld was in chaos. Ye Xuan also discovered that his world was a Dimension World and that the Main World was likely more dangerous. After sending Gumming Zhange to deceive those in the Main World, Ye Xuan proceeded alone to the Nine Heavens Demon Pool and faced a monstrous serpent born from the demonic energy.

Roar!

A roar that shook the heavens and earth.

The giant serpent emerged from the demonic Qi, opening its massive maw.

Inside, too, billowed demonic Qi.

This giant serpent blocked out the sky and the sun.

Yet the most striking feature lay upon the serpent’s head, where there was a silhouette.

No!

It was half of a silhouette.

For the lower half of this silhouette seemed to be merged with the giant serpent!

He was a person with horns.

His body entangled in demonic Qi, exuding an aura of evil.

As the giant serpent let out its roar, he slowly opened his eyes.

They were serpent eyes!

Peculiar and icy!

Sending chills down one’s spine.

At this moment, he was also looking down at Ye Xuan.

As if observing an ant.

Boom!

But in the next moment.

Ye Xuan’s figure disappeared from where he stood.

Meanwhile.

The enormous body of the giant serpent was struck as if by a huge hammer, soaring skyward.

The silhouette atop the serpent’s head also briefly wavered.

His cold serpent eyes gazed at Ye Xuan below, suddenly revealing a smirk, speaking in some incomprehensible language, and then the serpent’s tail swiftly lashed out.

Boom!

As if it would shatter the void itself.

Fiercely striking towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan extended his right hand, sweeping horizontally in front of himself.

Buzz————

In the air, a Void Sword manifested out of thin air.

Ye Xuan casually grasped the sword hilt, swinging a fierce slash.

Schla————

The void was instantly split open.

As if the sky dome was cleaved in two.

At this moment.

The serpent’s tail was directly severed.

Dropping into the void.

But immediately.

The severed tail transformed into a mass of demonic mist, rapidly forming yet again at the place Ye Xuan cut.

Regenerating swiftly after being severed.

Such speed was awe-inspiring.

Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised.

The creatures of the Nine Heavens Demon Pool were already fused with it.

No one can kill these creatures within the pool.

One can only rely on tactics to repel them.

But these creatures lack spiritual wisdom; they kill any living being they see, with no concept of retreat.

They obstruct outsiders like the demonic Qi itself.

It’s all about killing!

Faced with such a scenario.

Ye Xuan has his methods.

Fight violence with violence.

Kill to stop killing.

Gripping the Void Sword, Ye Xuan ascended into the sky, moving too swiftly for the naked eye.

The silhouette atop the serpent’s head hadn’t even reacted before Ye Xuan was upon him.

At that moment, Ye Xuan thrust a sword strike.

That strike instantly sent the person’s head flying.

Then, Ye Xuan delivered a vertical chop, splitting the giant serpent in two.

Boom!

At that instant, the giant serpent transformed into demonic mist, dissipating from sight.

It wasn’t dead, but temporarily restricted, needing time to recover.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Xuan continued onward.

Along the way, he encountered more demonic creatures.

Ye Xuan was violent, wielding the Void Sword, returning these creatures to their original form.

Yet when Ye Xuan reached the depths of the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, things became difficult.

The demonic creatures in the pool’s depths could recover instantaneously.

Facing this situation, Ye Xuan released the Void Sword.

Then.

Ye Xuan hovered within the void, arms extended, slightly tilting his head back, closing his eyes.

"Taichu Dao Light."

Ye Xuan silently chanted in his heart.

A dreadfully powerful move from the Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique was unleashed by Ye Xuan.

When the Taichu Dao Light activated.

The entire Nine Heavens Demon Pool descended into deathly silence.

As if time stood still in that moment.

One could even see the fearsome appearance of the overwhelming oncoming demonic creatures.

Buzz————

In the next instant.

A faint purple light appeared on Ye Xuan’s brow.

Swiftly engulfing the entire Nine Heavens Demon Pool.

Purple light shrouded everything.

All demonic Qi within the Nine Heavens Demon Pool seemed to be dispelled in that moment.

Like light driving out darkness!

Everything returned to the Taichu Hongmeng!

All reverted to the Primordial Path!

Between heaven and earth.

Only Ye Xuan seemed to exist.

Ye Xuan lowered his arms, opened his eyes, continuing his journey.

At this moment, Ye Xuan.

Appeared invincible.

He hadn’t used the Taichu Dao Light for a very long time.

Yet the power it displayed was utterly despair-inducing.

Only within the Nine Heavens Demon Pool.

Anywhere else.

The entire world might be cleansed by Ye Xuan.

Such power is terrifyingly overwhelming.

Even Ye Xuan wouldn’t use it lightly.

As it could harm the innocent.

Only to be used when absolutely necessary.

However, within the Nine Heavens Demon Pool, there was no such worry.

Within the pool, there’s no sign of any living beings.

And the Taichu Dao Light perfectly cleared Ye Xuan’s obstacles ahead.

With the demonic creatures no longer obstructing, Ye Xuan’s speed reached its peak.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the depths of the Nine Heavens Demon Pool.

Here, Ye Xuan saw the pool’s source.

It was a tear.

A black tear.

Ye Xuan had been here before, witnessing this black tear.

According to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld’s mythology, the Nine Heavens Demon Pool itself evolved from the tears left by a Demon God before the creation of the world.

This tear seems to affirm the truth of this myth.

Yet whether it’s true remains to be verified.

At the very least, Ye Xuan hasn’t determined its authenticity.

After all, before the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds came into being, there was the Immortal Ancient Era.

Arriving at this place, Ye Xuan examined it for a while.

It seems only this tear stood out.

"What are you trying to tell me, little Qian..."

Ye Xuan pondered as he gazed at the black tear.

Moments later.

Ye Xuan retrieved the Mortal Emperor’s Corpse from his own world.

Buzz————

As the Mortal Emperor’s Corpse appeared, the black tear fluctuated, emitting ripples.

As ripples spread.

The Mortal Emperor’s Corpse was suddenly enveloped in layers of black demonic Qi.

The demonic Qi identical to that of the Nine Heavens Demon Pool!

Boom!

The Mortal Emperor’s Corpse shivered violently, uncontrollably flying towards the black tear, unexpectedly absorbed into it.

Instantly vanishing.

Ye Xuan had been watching this unfold, swiftly reaching out to seize the Mortal Emperor’s Corpse when the tear changed.

Yet the suction force was insurmountable, dragging Ye Xuan along with the corpse into the tear.

Entering a rapidly spinning black time-space tunnel.

A blur before his eyes.

Then entering a state of absolute stillness.

As if reverted to the endless chaos before heaven and earth unfolded.

"Master..."

Then.

A cool voice echoed beside Ye Xuan’s ear.

Despite it, joy was undiminished.

Ye Xuan lifted his eyes, saw a young woman.
