Old Demonic Fu slowly raised his head toward the final heavenly tribulation above him.

At this point, his soul already looked miserable beyond words.

His once terrifying Nascent Soul aura had almost completely collapsed.

His spiritual body flickered weakly like a dying flame struggling against endless wind.

Several portions of his soul were already missing completely after suffering through the terrifying heavenly punishment earlier.

Even his consciousness felt unstable.

Yet despite all of that—

His eyes still burned fiercely.

Still burned with madness.

Still burned with obsession.

Still burned with unwillingness.

Above him, the final heavenly tribulation continued gathering power endlessly.

The entire sky had already transformed completely white.

Not ordinary white.

A horrifying heavenly white that made the entire spiritual forest feel lifeless.

The eleven heavenly lightning dragons had already merged together completely.

Now—

Only one remained.

One gigantic heavenly dragon made entirely from divine tribulation lightning floated within the heavens above.

Its body stretched endlessly across the sky.

Its eyes glowed like suns.

Its scales looked like endless layers of heavenly punishment itself.

Every breath released from its mouth shattered space throughout the tiny world forest.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu stared upward at it while trembling violently.

Not from fear.

Not anymore.

At this point—

Only obsession remained.

Then suddenly—

He laughed.

"Hahahahaha..."

The laughter sounded weak at first.

But afterward—

It became louder.

Much louder.

"Hahahahahahaha!!!"

The entire forest trembled from his voice afterward.

Even Clayne became slightly surprised while staring toward the old demonic cultivator.

Because despite looking like a broken ghost barely surviving—

Old Demonic Fu’s eyes still carried monstrous determination.

Then suddenly—

He roared toward the heavens.

"I WON’T DIE!!!"

"I ABSOLUTELY WON’T DIE HERE!!!"

The roar exploded violently throughout the spiritual forest afterward.

His damaged soul released endless demonic energy despite already reaching its limit.

Old Demonic Fu continued roaring crazily afterward.

"I crawled my way through mountains of corpses to reach this realm!"

"I slaughtered clans!"

"I betrayed masters!"

"I refined souls!"

"I survived heavenly hunts!"

"I escaped Nascent Soul pursuers!"

"I survived blood curses!"

"I devoured rivals stronger than myself!"

"And now you expect me dying inside this tiny lower realm?!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

The heavens rumbled furiously afterward.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu’s laughter became even crazier.

His soul looked like a mad demon roaring against heaven itself.

"You think this old monster fears death?!"

"I crawled through rivers of blood for thousands of years!"

"I buried my own humanity long ago!"

"I sacrificed everything for cultivation!"

"Everything!!!"

"Family!"

"Friends!"

"Disciples!"

"Honor!"

"Mercy!"

"All of it was meaningless before immortality!"

Old Demonic Fu’s voice became louder and louder afterward.

The surrounding demonic energy exploded violently around him.

"I endured endless humiliation!"

"I survived by kneeling before stronger monsters!"

"I survived by betraying everyone!"

"I survived by killing everyone!"

"And now—"

"And NOW—"

"I can finally see the road beyond Nascent Soul!"

His eyes gradually became crazier afterward.

"Spirit Transformation..."

"Spirit Transformation..."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"I CAN ALREADY FEEL IT!!!"

The final heavenly dragon above slowly opened its gigantic mouth afterward.

The entire sky cracked violently.

Yet Old Demonic Fu still roared endlessly.

"I DON’T CARE HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE I MUST KILL!"

"I DON’T CARE HOW MANY MORE SOULS I MUST DEVOUR!"

"I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH BLOOD I MUST SPILL!"

"AS LONG AS I CAN KEEP CLIMBING—"

"AS LONG AS I CAN REACH HIGHER—"

"I WILL NEVER ACCEPT DYING!!!"

The heavens exploded afterward.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

The final heavenly dragon descended.

No—

It devoured the heavens themselves while descending.

The entire spiritual forest instantly collapsed beneath the terrifying pressure.

Mountains shattered.

Rivers exploded upward.

Ancient trees turned into dust instantly.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu raised both arms upward while roaring hysterically.

"COME THEN!!!"

"LET ME SEE IF HEAVEN CAN TRULY DESTROY ME!!!"

The final heavenly tribulation slammed directly into him afterward.

And then—

Everything disappeared into white.

Pure white.

Endless white.

The explosion became so massive that even Clayne instinctively narrowed his eyes afterward.

The tiny world shook violently.

The forest nearly collapsed entirely.

The rivers evaporated.

Several distant demon beasts screamed fearfully before fleeing deeper into the wilderness.

Meanwhile—

Inside the endless heavenly lightning—

Old Demonic Fu screamed endlessly.

His soul cracked apart repeatedly.

Destroyed.

Reformed.

Destroyed again.

The heavenly tribulation continuously burned every remaining impurity within his soul.

His demonic qi exploded violently.

His spiritual consciousness nearly collapsed completely.

Yet somehow—

He endured.

He endured through madness alone.

Through obsession alone.

Through sheer unwillingness to die.

Then suddenly—

Silence descended.

Complete silence.

The heavens stopped roaring.

The white light gradually faded afterward.

Meanwhile, endless demonic spiritual qi slowly spread throughout the tiny world forest.

The energy became heavier.

Darker.

More terrifying.

The ground trembled continuously.

And then—

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

A massive explosion of demonic spiritual energy erupted from Old Demonic Fu’s soul afterward.

The surrounding forest bent violently beneath the pressure.

The rivers exploded outward.

The sky twisted endlessly.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu slowly floated upward afterward.

His soul no longer looked broken.

No longer looked weak.

No longer looked unstable.

Instead—

His soul became far more solid.

Far more terrifying.

Far more oppressive.

The surrounding demonic qi spiraled around him endlessly like a gigantic storm.

Then suddenly—

Old Demonic Fu began laughing.

Not ordinary laughter.

Mad laughter.

Victorious laughter.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"I DID IT!!!"

"I FINALLY DID IT!!!"

The entire forest trembled from his voice afterward.

"Spirit Transformation Realm!!!"

"Spirit Transformation Realm!!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"I finally reached it!!!"

"I FINALLY REACHED IT!!!"

His laughter became crazier afterward.

At this moment, Old Demonic Fu truly looked like a terrifying demonic monster who escaped from ancient history itself.

The endless demonic qi around him distorted the surrounding air continuously.

Meanwhile, Clayne stared toward him with surprise afterward.

Because even he could feel the difference now.

Old Demonic Fu became stronger.

Much stronger.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu slowly lifted his head upward afterward.

Then gradually—

His eyes landed upon the mirror trapping him.

And suddenly—

His expression became savage.

"Hahahahaha..."

"Now..."

"NOW I can finally escape this prison..."

"I finally reached Spirit Transformation Realm..."

"I can finally leave this damned mirror..."

"And afterward—"

"And afterward I will escape from this horrifying God..."

Immediately afterward, Old Demonic Fu released his demonic cultivation techniques violently.

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

Endless demonic qi exploded outward from his soul.

Countless blood colored skulls appeared behind him.

Soul flames erupted everywhere.

Demonic chains manifested across the forest.

The pressure became terrifying.

Several nearby mountains instantly shattered from the force.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu roared crazily afterward.

"BREAK!!!"

His attack slammed directly against the mirror walls.

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The forest shook violently.

Yet—

Nothing happened.

Not even a scratch appeared.

Old Demonic Fu froze afterward.

Then immediately—

His expression twisted completely.

"No..."

"Impossible..."

Immediately afterward, he attacked again.

And again.

And again.

Madly.

Violently.

He unleashed every demonic spell he possessed.

Blood curses.

Soul destruction techniques.

Demonic flames.

Corpse qi eruptions.

Soul spears.

Blood dragons.

Everything.

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

The forest continuously trembled afterward.

Yet the mirror remained completely unharmed.

Not a single crack appeared.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu’s expression gradually became uglier and uglier.

"No..."

"No no no..."

"This old monster already reached Spirit Transformation Realm..."

"How can I still not escape?!"

He attacked harder afterward.

More desperately.

More violently.

But no matter how much demonic energy he unleashed—

The mirror remained indestructible.

Meanwhile, outside—

Clayne suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

The sight honestly looked ridiculous to him.

This terrifying old demonic cultivator who screamed endlessly about reaching a higher realm—

Still could not break a tiny mirror.

Meanwhile, Old Demonic Fu slowly lifted his head afterward.

Then instantly—

His expression froze.

Because Clayne’s gigantic hand slowly reached toward the mirror.

Old Demonic Fu immediately sensed danger afterward.

Real danger.

His face instantly lost all color.

"WAIT!!!"

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!"

"SPARE ME!!!"

"This old monster is useful!"

"I can teach cultivation!"

"I can teach demonic techniques!"

"I can refine pills!"

"I know ancient ruins!"

"I know hidden inheritances!"

"I know forbidden arts!"

"PLEASE!!!"

His voice became increasingly desperate afterward.

For the first time in countless years—

Old Demonic Fu genuinely sounded terrified.

Meanwhile, Clayne simply looked toward him casually.

Then slowly—

He began squeezing the mirror.

Old Demonic Fu instantly screamed afterward.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"PLEASE DON’T—"

But Clayne already ignored him completely.

And then—

He crushed the mirror.
