The Demon God Domain.
Yun Fan held Chi Xian in his arms.
Chi Xian wore a blissful smile. After so many years, she had finally gotten her way with Yun Fan.
She said to Yun Fan, "Husband, you're so strong, I can't handle you by myself!"
"Naturally!"
Yun Fan said confidently, "I might not be strong in other areas, but I'm definitely strong in this one!"
"You scoundrel!"
Chi Xian giggled shyly, then added, "But one day, I will defeat you!"
Even though she knew it was unrealistic, she was determined to make Yun Fan beg for mercy in bed.
"Then keep trying! But before you defeat me, I'll take care of you first!"
With that! Yun Fan was about to make a move on Chi Xian again.
Chi Xian was startled. The truce had only just ended. If Yun Fan continued to attack, she would surely be defeated.
Just as she was about to beg for mercy, her clothes were torn.
"It's over!"
Chi Xian's heart leaped, and she braced herself for Yun Fan's onslaught.
However, at that very moment, a figure descended.
It was none other than Empress Zang Tian.
"It's you!"
Yun Fan was stunned. Chi Xian was also dumbfounded because Empress Zang Tian was supposed to be dead, yet here she was.
And she had walked in on their intimate moment.
Empress Zang Tian's face was grim. She never expected this pair of scoundrels to be so brazen, which was a huge blow to her.
"Yes, it's me!"
Empress Zang Tian said, "I didn't expect you two to be together. Don't you know who he is to you?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xian immediately retorted, "He is my lover, is there a problem?"
"Lover?"
Empress Zang Tian scoffed, "How can you say that? He's practically your master! How can you be so shameless?"
To everyone's surprise, Chi Xian replied, "You're just jealous of me. I don't need to explain myself to you! Don't you agree, husband!"
"Yes! That's right!"
Yun Fan nodded. "I don't know about the past, and I don't want to know. I only care about the future!"
"You scoundrels!"
Empress Zang Tian cursed again.
"I'm warning you, don't push it!"
Yun Fan was angry. He felt Empress Zang Tian's words and actions were excessive. Chi Xian, however, directly issued an eviction notice.
"Get out of the Demon God Domain now, or I won't be polite!"
"Oh really? Then I'd like to see if you're my match?"
Empress Zang Tian said coldly. After her soul had reformed, her power had become immense.
She was now comparable to the former Heavenly God of Thunder.
Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, Yun Fan quickly intervened, "Don't fight. The Demon God Domain can't withstand your destruction!"
"Hmph!"
Chi Xian snorted. If it weren't for fear of damaging the Demon God Domain, she would have definitely taught Empress Zang Tian a lesson today!
Empress Zang Tian then said to Yun Fan, "I need to talk to you alone!"
"No problem!"
Yun Fan knew from others' accounts that he had been unintentionally tricked by Empress Zang Tian in the ancient past.
However, in the Dark Land, Empress Zang Tian had risked her life to shield him from a fatal blow.
Otherwise, he would not have survived that strike.
Therefore, in his heart, Empress Zang Tian's merits and demerits balanced out.
Of course, at this moment, Yun Fan had no intention of accepting Empress Zang Tian. If she dared to do anything detrimental to the Demon God Domain, he would, regrettably, have to act.
"Husband, don't be deceived by her! She's not a good person!"
Chi Xian warned Yun Fan.
Yun Fan smiled. "Don't worry! I'm not that kind of person!"
After that, he met Empress Zang Tian in private.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
"Do you truly feel nothing for me anymore?"
Empress Zang Tian asked indignantly.
In the ancient past, they had been so sweet and loving. Now, she saw only distance in Yun Fan's eyes.
"No!"
Yun Fan stated directly.
"I'd forgotten, you've severed all ties to the past. I was just being wishful thinking,"
Empress Zang Tian said with a self-deprecating laugh.
She had expected Yun Fan's attention and comfort, but received none.
"What is your stance now?"
Yun Fan asked curiously.
Previously, Empress Zang Tian's stance had been clear. To save the Divine Race, she had completely severed ties with the dark path.
She also wished to destroy the power of the dark path and reverse the decline of the Divine Race.
Now, he was unsure if Empress Zang Tian still harbored such ambitions.
At this moment, Empress Zang Tian said, "Of course, it's to cooperate with you and jointly fight against evil thoughts and save our Divine Race!"
"To be honest, I advise you to give up!"
Yun Fan said, "Your Divine Race has reached a point of no return. So, I advise you not to dwell on this matter anymore!"
"No! I will not give up until the last moment!"
This was Empress Zang Tian's attitude.
She could not stand by and watch the Divine Race fall under the influence of the dark path.
Seeing her persistence, Yun Fan said no more.
At this point, Empress Zang Tian said to Yun Fan, "I need your help!"
"I can't help you with anything!"
Yun Fan said, "The Divine Race is obstinate. Of course, I will kill them. If they don't die, I will!"
"I understand!"
Empress Zang Tian said to Yun Fan, "If things have reached an irreparable point, then I can only give up. However, I have come to you today with something important!"
"What important matter?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
"My father helped me reshape my divine soul, but after reshaping it, he asked me to find you!"
Empress Zang Tian said, "I suspect it's another scheme by my father. I don't want you to fall into the same trap again!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan was shocked. This was something he had to be wary of.
Therefore, Yun Fan asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can I do?"
Empress Zang Tian said to Yun Fan, "Of course, I hope you will kill me!"
"Kill me?"
Yun Fan never expected this to be Empress Zang Tian's answer.
"That's right!"
Empress Zang Tian said to Yun Fan, "If you don't kill me, then all the consequences are unpredictable. By killing me, you can avoid the scheme. Anyway, I have no motivation to live on. Death is fine, it's all over."
This was Empress Zang Tian's current state of mind.
The Divine Race was beyond saving. Her beliefs had completely collapsed. Of course, the final straw that broke her was Yun Fan.
She had thought she might rekindle her romance with Yun Fan, but now she realized it was just her wishful thinking.
Yun Fan had no such intentions.
Therefore, she no longer wished to live.
"Impossible!"
Yun Fan said, "I would never kill someone without reason!"
"Are you chickening out?"
Empress Zang Tian said coldly, "In the past, I wronged you. Don't you want revenge?"
Facing Empress Zang Tian's relentless pressure, Yun Fan finally said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Since I've decided to completely sever ties with the past, I won't have any connection to it!"
Unexpectedly, Empress Zang Tian directly said, "I know you can't bear to do it because you still love me, right?"
"Stop joking!"
Yun Fan said, slightly embarrassed, "I don't mean that at all, okay? Don't overthink it!"
To his surprise, Empress Zang Tian walked forward at this moment.
Yun Fan was momentarily stunned by Empress Zang Tian's imposing aura and retreated in quick succession.
"What do you want to do?"
To his surprise, Empress Zang Tian did not answer. The moment she got close to Yun Fan, she kissed him!
Her boldness stunned Yun Fan, who stood frozen in place, forgetting to resist for a moment.
It wasn't until Chi Xian appeared that Yun Fan quickly pushed Empress Zang Tian away.
"It's nothing between me and her!"
Yun Fan explained.
Chi Xian coldly cursed at Empress Zang Tian, "In this life, you still have the audacity to seduce my husband. What are your intentions?"
However, Empress Zang Tian replied, "I had planned for him to kill me earlier, but there's no need now. Because I will make him fall in love with me again!"
Undoubtedly, at this very moment, Empress Zang Tian had regained the motivation to live.
Seeing this, Chi Xian was furious.
"In any case, I won't let you harm my husband again!"
Chi Xian stood in front of Yun Fan, her attitude resolute.
"Back in the day, you were nothing compared to him and me. You were just a homewrecker, what's so great about that!"
Empress Zang Tian taunted.
"You..."
Chi Xian and she seemed to be in perpetual conflict. The two women were on the verge of fighting.
At this moment, Yun Fan quickly intervened to stop them.
He said to Empress Zang Tian, "Don't you know if they left any countermeasures against me?"
Empress Zang Tian replied, "I don't know, but I think you should look for them!"
This was Empress Zang Tian's answer.
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "Alright, let's eliminate any dangers in advance!"
After all, he didn't want to be schemed against again.
"You should go out first! I'll come to find you after I've settled things!"
Empress Zang Tian said to Yun Fan.
"I can go out, but I hope you two don't fight!"
This was Yun Fan's bottom line.
"Don't worry, husband, she's not worth my effort!"
To alleviate Yun Fan's worries, Chi Xian also promised him.
"Mhm, mhm!"
Only then did Yun Fan relax and walk out.
The two women were left alone, staring at each other, their eyes wide.
At this moment, Empress Zang Tian said to Chi Xian, "Do you know why I asked you to stay behind?"
"Of course not, and I don't want to know!"
Chi Xian had no good feelings towards Empress Zang Tian.
Empress Zang Tian said, "In fact, I'm saying goodbye."
"What do you want to do?"
Chi Xian was stunned. She didn't expect Empress Zang Tian to say something so shocking.
"I know my father must have left some hidden means to deliver a fatal blow to Yun Fan at a critical moment. To avoid implicating him, I intend to end myself."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xian was moved. She hadn't expected Empress Zang Tian to make such a decision, which was completely beyond her expectations.
"I kept you here for only two reasons. The first is that I hope you will love him well! Because his life story is too tragic!"
Recalling the past, the rise of the First God was incredibly tragic. Abandoned by his biological parents, he had been dead but had resurrected through sheer willpower.
When he should have enjoyed warmth, the First God's world was filled only with cold.
Even after becoming the First God and achieving parity with the Lords of the Gods, he was still schemed against by his own parents.
Yet, even at the moment of his death, the First God had not turned dark.
Empress Zang Tian would not let Yun Fan repeat the same mistakes.
Therefore, at this moment, all she hoped was that Chi Xian would take good care of Yun Fan.
"You don't need to worry about that!"
Chi Xian said to Empress Zang Tian, "So many sisters love my husband dearly. He is everything to them! So, in this life, he will never repeat the same mistakes!"
Hearing this, Empress Zang Tian was speechless. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so amorous in this life.
Therefore, she immediately asked Chi Xian, "Aren't you jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous?"
Chi Xian replied, "They were all people who cared for and comforted my husband before he met me in this life. I not only don't envy them, but I also thank them. Without them, my husband wouldn't have grown to this point so quickly!"
This was Chi Xian's magnanimity, truly immense, even earning Empress Zang Tian's admiration.
At this point, she said to Chi Xian, "Then I can rest assured! My second reason is that I hope you will kill me!"
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Chi Xian looked at her in disbelief. She never expected Empress Zang Tian to make such a request.
"What? Can't you do it?"
Empress Zang Tian asked, "If it weren't for me, the First God wouldn't have fallen, and the era of disaster wouldn't have begun. Now, it's about to repeat. Only by killing me can the disaster be averted, and Yun Fan can grow smoothly. You and I are good sisters, so I hope you will kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xian immediately said, "Give up! I won't kill you! Besides, it's not the last moment yet. Why are you so eager to die?"
This was Chi Xian's stance. In her opinion, until the last moment, no one knew the outcome.
What if there was still hope?
"But I dare not gamble!"
Empress Zang Tian said directly. Although Yun Fan and she would simultaneously search for the hidden danger within her, what if they encountered danger during the search? Then all would be in vain!
Chi Xian didn't know what to say, as Empress Zang Tian's concerns were quite valid.
Before she could respond, she heard Empress Zang Tian say, "Never mind, I'll do it myself!"
"No!"
Chi Xian was terrified. Just as she was about to stop Empress Zang Tian, she realized it was too late. Empress Zang Tian had attacked, aiming straight for her core.
Just as Chi Xian thought Empress Zang Tian was about to perish, a power erupted from within Empress Zang Tian, shattering her killing blow.
Immediately after, Empress Zang Tian's eyes turned scarlet.
"No, I can't control myself. Kill me quickly!"
Empress Zang Tian sensed that something was wrong. She couldn't end herself, so she could only beg Chi Xian for help.
Before she completely darkened, she had to resist this powerful will and buy time for Chi Xian.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Chi Xian did not hesitate and attacked Empress Zang Tian.
However, this evil will was too strong. A force repelled and sent Chi Xian flying.
Bang!
Chi Xian spat out a mouthful of blood.
The evil will was furious. "You had a chance to kill him, but you took your own life. You disappoint me immensely!"
The evil will hadn't expected Empress Zang Tian to deviate from the plan, intending to commit suicide before delivering a fatal blow to Yun Fan.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Empress Zang Tian cursed angrily.
She knew her father would never let Yun Fan go. As expected, her guess was correct.
"Foolish!"
The evil will was furious and was about to completely possess Empress Zang Tian's body to launch a fatal attack on Yun Fan.
Unexpectedly, Empress Zang Tian was still struggling.
At this moment, Yun Fan sensed the commotion within and rushed in.
"Well done!"
The evil will knew that scheming against Yun Fan was no longer possible. It could only kill Yun Fan head-on.
Although the odds were not in its favor, after Empress Zang Tian's struggles, it had no other choice.
Seeing that the evil will had abandoned Empress Zang Tian and was charging at him, Yun Fan immediately resisted with his Battle Heaven power. Unexpectedly, he fell right into the evil will's trap.
This portion of the evil will merged into Yun Fan's body, intending to self-destruct and take Yun Fan with it.
"Not good!"
Yun Fan's expression changed drastically.
Fortunately, the Great God of Defeating Heaven and the Mad God arrived. With the help of Empress Zang Tian and Chi Xian, they helped Yun Fan suppress it.
This prevented the evil will from self-destructing immediately.
However, it was undeniable that the situation remained perilous.
After all, even they were unsure when the evil will would self-destruct.
This was not a long-term solution.
At present, the only way to break this stalemate was for Yun Fan to handle it himself.
If Yun Fan couldn't handle it, the situation would become extremely dangerous.
In fact, even Yun Fan was troubled.
This was a significant challenge for Yun Fan.
Although the evil will was suppressed, it arrogantly declared within Yun Fan's body, "First God, you still cannot change anything. This time, I won't even give you a chance for reincarnation!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "The opportunity is in my hands, not yours. You have no right to decide my fate!"
"Is that so?"
The evil will chuckled sarcastically. "Let's see how you break this stalemate?"
At this point, it knew the situation was settled. Although it was temporarily controlled by the four of them, they wouldn't last long.
After careful consideration, Yun Fan decided to adopt the most dangerous method to break the stalemate.
That was to devour this evil will.
Although Yun Fan could previously devour the heavens and earth, capable of swallowing anything, after encountering the evil will, he discovered he couldn't devour it.
Instead, it would backfire, so he abandoned the plan of devouring. However, he had no choice but to activate the devouring plan now.
Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan directly activated his Devouring Eye.
"You want to devour me?"
The evil will sneered, "You're not qualified!"
Even though it had fallen into Yun Fan's Devouring Eye, it showed no fear, as it knew the Devouring Eye couldn't harm it.
"That may not be the case!"
Yun Fan activated his Battle Heaven bloodline and sprinkled it on the evil will. This evil will was too strong, capable of resisting the attack of the Battle Heaven bloodline.
As Yun Fan ignited the Battle Heaven Flame, the flames began to burn the evil will.
"Crazy, absolutely crazy!"
The evil will was shocked by Yun Fan's madness. It knew that while burning, it was also causing immense damage to Yun Fan.
It couldn't believe Yun Fan would resort to such a desperate measure to resolve the situation.
Yun Fan said, "As long as I can kill you, does it matter if this method is extremely crazy?"
As the Battle Heaven flames burned, the Devouring Eye, while devouring the flames, could also devour the evil will.
"No!"
This time, the evil will was terrified, as it could feel itself being ferociously devoured by Yun Fan.
Although it wasn't afraid of death, as it had come to kill Yun Fan this time, achieving its goal even if it meant mutual destruction.
However, it hadn't expected Yun Fan to deny it this opportunity.
Therefore, at this moment, the evil will could only do its best to break free from the control of the few.
Seeing this, they did not hesitate and used their life force to suppress the evil will. No matter what, they had to buy time for Yun Fan.
As expected, after several days, Yun Fan completely devoured the evil will.
Before its demise, the evil will revealed a look of terror. Although Yun Fan's gap with the First God was indeed not small, what truly terrified it was that Yun Fan had purified and mastered a skill that even the First God had never mastered.
This skill was incredibly terrifying.
The evil will knew that if Yun Fan didn't die, the path of evil would be even more brutal than in ancient times.
Then, it wouldn't be as simple as Yun Fan resisting the path of evil. All paths of evil would be like ripe fruits awaiting harvest before Yun Fan.
From a hunter, it had completely become prey. Anything was possible.
It tried its best to send a message back, but unfortunately, once the Devouring Eye closed, its path was completely cut off.
Subsequently, Yun Fan opened his eyes and saw the four weakened figures. He immediately apologized, "Thank you for your hard work. I have completely shattered the evil will!"
"It's fine, no need to be polite. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters!"
The Great God of Defeating Heaven said with relief.
He had initially thought Yun Fan wouldn't make it, but unexpectedly, Yun Fan had managed to turn the tide with his own potential and strength.
At this moment, Chi Xian and the Mad God simultaneously looked at Empress Zang Tian.
Sensing their hostility, Empress Zang Tian showed a look of guilt.
After all, Yun Fan's crisis this time was caused by her.
"If you are angry, feel free to kill me!"
Empress Zang Tian said directly. At this moment, she wouldn't resist anyone who wanted to kill her.
Because she knew she had caused great trouble again. Fortunately, Yun Fan had managed to resolve it with great difficulty this time.
Yun Fan said, "It's not that serious. This trial has directly helped me open the door to a new world!"
"What?"
The few of them didn't understand what Yun Fan meant, but they could feel that Yun Fan had gained a lot this time.
"Take a look at my strength again!"
When Yun Fan unleashed his full power, the faces of the others changed. Especially the Great God of Defeating Heaven, who could feel that Yun Fan had grown to a level comparable to his own.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to gain so much.
Before they could ask, Yun Fan admitted, "I have mastered the method of refining evil will!"
"That's insane!"
The four were shocked again. They knew Yun Fan was monstrous, but they hadn't expected him to be this monstrous.
One by one, they looked at Yun Fan with admiration.
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry, there are no after-effects. I will continue to try this in the future. The best way to defeat evil will is to refine it!"
This was Yun Fan's attitude.
The few nodded, agreeing with Yun Fan's suggestion. After all, in this era, or even before the ancient times, it was too difficult to transcend eternity through self-cultivation.
Although Yun Fan had an epoch as a buffer, for cultivators at their level, an epoch was clearly not enough.
In just an epoch, Yun Fan's height of growth would be limited, while they might make no progress at all.
Therefore, Yun Fan had opened up this path, which was a path full of hope for them.
"Don't you hate me anymore?"
Empress Zang Tian asked uncertainly. Without Yun Fan's personal acknowledgment, she would not forgive herself.
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry! I won't hate you anymore!"
"Mhm, mhm!"
Empress Zang Tian finally let go of her guilt and was no longer as pained as before.
Just as the few were discussing, Tian Lin sent a message, clearly informing Yun Fan that Empress Zang Tian was not dead and might be coming to find him, advising Yun Fan to be careful.
Yun Fan was speechless. The speed of this message was too slow! However, this was normal. After all, Tian Lin had no status in the Divine Race.
To send him a message, he could only use various means, which caused delays.
...
The Divine Race.
Inside the pagoda, two ethereal figures, one bright and one dark, reformed.
"Old friend, our plan has failed!"
"Shen Xu! Are you sure?"
At this moment, the Lord of the Gods was shocked. A plan that seemed impossible to fail had indeed failed.
The evil will immediately said, "My clone has lost contact with me, and the plan has failed. I just don't know how this brat managed to eliminate my clone!"
Hearing this, the Lord of the Gods was furious.
"Damn it! Since he has grown this powerful, he cannot be allowed to live!"
The Lord of the Gods knew the severity of the situation and did not intend to give Yun Fan any more opportunities to grow stronger.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
The evil will asked the Lord of the Gods.
"No good suggestions are needed. Let the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng take care of him!"
"Mhm!"
The evil will Shen Xu immediately said, "That's a good suggestion. We also need to speed up our fusion!"
"Good!"
The Lord of the Gods nodded, and the two ethereal figures vanished from their original positions.
Upon learning that the Lord of the Gods was going to send the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng to eliminate Yun Fan, Tian Lin could not remain seated.
He hurried to the teleportation array, preparing to send the message to Yun Fan.
Who was the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng? He was like the right-hand man of the Lord of the Gods, with strength surpassing that of the Great God of Defeating Heaven.
Furthermore, this time, the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng would not be attacking head-on. If it were a surprise attack, Yun Fan would surely die.
Therefore, he had to deliver this message.
Unexpectedly, before he could even start transmitting the message, an overwhelming pressure swept through.
Tian Lin could feel the suffocating pressure, almost crushing his body.
"Not good!"
Tian Lin was extremely shocked. He hadn't expected the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng to have arrived.
"You want to pass on our Divine Race's plan to that brat? You are indeed an ungrateful dog!"
The Golden-winged Heavenly Peng sneered.
Upon hearing this, Tian Lin's face turned ashen. "Your Eminence has misunderstood. I had no such intention!"
"Is that so?"
The Golden-winged Heavenly Peng said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter whether you intended it or not. What matters is that the Divine Race cannot spare you!"
Hearing this, Tian Lin knew his situation was dire. Thus, he flashed and prepared to escape.
However, he didn't expect the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng to strike with just a casual thought, piercing through Tian Lin.
"Pfft!"
Tian Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, knowing that his fate was sealed.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I ultimately couldn't help you!"
Tian Lin's expression was dejected. As the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng attacked again, his head fell to the ground.
...
The Demon God Domain. Yun Fan had just entered seclusion. This seclusion was for consolidating his cultivation and, secondly, to screen for any after-effects of devouring the evil will.
Fortunately, there were no side effects, and everything was stable. Yun Fan was very satisfied with this.
However, he was unaware that a greater crisis awaited him next.
At the same time, outside the Demon God Domain, the Great God of Defeating Heaven was on patrol.
He did not trust the so-called contract of the Divine Race at all, so he had to thoroughly eliminate any hidden dangers in the Demon God Domain.
Not only him, but the Mad God, Chi Xian, and even Empress Zang Tian, who had recently joined the Demon God Domain, were doing the same thing.
Yun Fan had paved a bright path, so the rear of the Demon God Domain must not have any problems.
In this regard, they would help Yun Fan resolve any hidden dangers in advance, without Yun Fan needing to worry.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a golden light swept across the sky. Seeing this, the Great God of Defeating Heaven immediately stepped forward, blocking the golden light.
"Golden-winged Heavenly Peng!"
Upon seeing the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng, the Great God of Defeating Heaven was visibly moved. After all, the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng was on the same tier as the Lord of the Gods.
Even he might not be a match for such a being.
"I know you!"
The Golden-winged Heavenly Peng sneered, "You are the first being in the later era to be able to confront the Divine Race!"
"So what?"
The Great God of Defeating Heaven said coldly, "Why have you rashly come to my Demon God Domain?"
The Golden-winged Heavenly Peng said, "No particular reason. I just have a gift for the First God. I'm sure he'll like it very much!"
The next moment, he threw a box to the Great God of Defeating Heaven and said, "Tell him to come find me. I'll be waiting for him outside the Divine Race!"
With that, the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng disappeared, clearly having no intention of fighting the Great God of Defeating Heaven.
Seeing that the other party did not attack, the Great God of Defeating Heaven also did not attack, as he had no chance of winning against the Golden-winged Heavenly Peng.
At this moment, he immediately opened the box, and his eyes widened, followed by an outburst of rage.
Because the box contained Tian Lin's head.
