Of course, even if they’re anxious, Ye Yang and Xing Jiusi can only respectfully kneel on the ground at this moment, not daring to express any change in emotion.

Their master is too terrifying!!!

Too powerful.

Also too domineering.

In the space cracks, Ye Zhenchen couldn’t help but want to speak and let Ye Tian agree, his intuition told him that if his son didn’t agree, what awaited would be a death threat like a storm.

Xiao Rugu put immense pressure on everyone.

"Xiao Rugu? This name, it seems I’ve heard it somewhere before."

Under the veil, Jin Qingcheng murmured to herself, somewhat curious. She had indeed heard it, mentioned in passing by Wu Bubai once. It’s normal for her not to remember it now, even though she’s been to the Martial Sect, Wu Bubai being a distant relative, yet ultimately, she’s not a member of the Martial Sect, so naturally she won’t be very familiar or sensitive to the name Xiao Rugu.

"I already have a Master." In the next moment, Ye Tian spoke.

A disguised rejection?! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This...

Ye Yang and Xing Jiusi quickly bowed their heads because their hearts brimmed with joy, yet they didn’t want to show it.

The two were thrilled beyond words.

What the hell.

Is there really someone in this world so so so interested in death?????

Rejecting Master Xiao Rugu, Ye Tian, you are a brave man.

Even dying would be admirable.

Your courage is too strong.

"Is your Master stronger than me?"

However, to Ye Yang and Xing Jiusi’s shock, Ye Tian had already refused, yet Xiao Rugu didn’t immediately grant Ye Tian death, instead, it seemed as if he still wanted to persuade him. Absolutely unbelievable.

Is this still the Master who was so proud, domineering to the heavens?

Or the Great Demon Master who would destroy the world at the drop of a hat?

The situation seemed off!

The two couldn’t help but feel uncontrollably jealous. This special attitude their Master had towards Ye Tian could only mean Ye Tian’s talent is so extraordinary that even the Master treats him differently.

"Not as strong as you, far from it, but I have no intention to change Masters."

Ye Tian replied quietly.

His tone calm, that tranquility, composed.

Yet it expressed an unwavering refusal.

This courage...

Ye Yang and Xing Jiusi were directly scared motionless, breathless.

"In that case, I can only kill you!" Deep in Xiao Rugu’s profound eyes flashed a trace of regret, his handsome yet slightly aged face appeared regretful.

In all his four or five thousand years of life, this was the first time he regretted losing a talent.

Unwillingly rejected.

He felt a bit regretful, but only a little.

"Just right, I also want to—"

Ye Tian’s smile widened, casually unleashing a Sword Qi.

"Interesting." Yet, Xiao Rugu suddenly praised him.

In praise, his right hand abruptly lifted.

A twist of the right hand.

Suddenly, from his palm, black streams flowed, those black streams were substantial, flowing mysteriously, seemingly like liquid. Those black streams twisted bizarrely, quickly forming a circular skull-shaped shield-like shadow of light.

The shadow of light blocked before Xiao Rugu.

At the same time, Ye Tian’s sword, seemingly invincible, already reached the black shadow of light.

In everyone’s eyes, that invincible, awe-inspiring sword should have sliced through that shadow of light like rotten wood.

Yet the reality was that the Sword Light halted.

Seemingly trapped in an intensely strong mire.

Not only that, the black shadow of light was like it had a soul, creeping like an ant directly enveloping the Sword Light, completely covering and wrapping it, then, the Sword Light annihilated.

This scene was downright insane.

Absolutely terrifying.

"Not bad, take another sword." Ye Tian nodded, adding more force, this sword could slay any King Martial Realm.

Indeed, Xiao Rugu was instantly seriously injured.

"Boy, you’re forcing me!!! Possession! Demon Soul descends!"

Suddenly, Xiao Rugu’s voice mutated, venomous to the extreme, his already seriously injured, bloodstained body paused, simultaneously, from his ruined physical body, emerged a black shadow of Demon Soul, drifting hundreds of meters away.

During drifting, that shadow of Demon Soul surged, howled, absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth.

The skull shadow flickered continuously.

The Demon Soul frantically replicated, grew.

In just a few hundred meters of drifting, Xiao Rugu’s shadow of Demon Soul magnified, expanded a thousandfold, enormous like a vast black roiling demon sea, covering the sky and earth. The entire War Abyss Plane trembled, upon close inspection, the entire War Abyss Plane began to permeate black, the War Abyss Plane was saturated by Demonic Qi.

Moreover, that shadow of Demon Soul, in exponential form, turned evil.

Evil enough that among the billions at Zhan Yuan Square, some Martial Arts Practitioners with unstable minds directly possessed by demons!!!

Under that shadow of Demon Soul, the sky dome above became obscured, even sketching out flickering demon shadows.

And bolts of demon thunder thicker than barrels were crazily falling, seemingly to destroy the world.

"Whizz whizz whizz..." Xiao Rugu laughed like mad.

As if the heavens were laughing.

The laughter waves penetrated everything, tearing through all space and time.

Communicate everything, integrate into Heaven and Earth. At once, Demon Rivers hung inverted, Demon Moon soared to the sky, Demon Stars fell...

The entire War Abyss Plane seemed drawn into the world of the Demon Path.

"This... this..."

"What exactly is happening?"

"Where is this?"

"Why do I want to kill! Kill!! Kill!!"

...

Countless people screamed, wailed, shouted horror-struck...

Under the veil, Jin Qingcheng’s face was extremely grim, she murmured: "So evil!!! This is an absolute possession by demons? Moreover, a Heavenly Demon level possession!"

"Boy, thank you for pushing me! These years, despite cultivating the Great Demon Heart Sutra, I’ve always been reluctant to fully possess, to become a puppet, a vassal of demons, if I wanted to surrender, leave it wouldn’t work, forcing me to fight with you to the end, now it’s fine, I abandoned the physical body, fully possessed, exhibiting boundless magic power, now, what can you still use to fight me? What kind of miracles can you still create?! Ah!!! You forced me! It’s you!"

The enormous demon shadow continuously twisted into Xiao Rugu’s form, raging in a manic roar.

Each roar intensified the frequency of demon lightning strikes, apocalyptical, utterly a scene of doomsday, Zhan Yuan Square was about to turn into void.

Black demon rivers carved channels across Zhan Yuan Square, flowing wildly, wherever it reached, everything turned demonic, even those trees, flowers, rocks, began to madly proliferate, turning black, demonic, becoming sentient!

"It’s over, everything’s over..." Ye Zhenchen shook his head bitterly.
