Imperial Underground Demon Tomb.

Lin Tianming's eyes darkened when he heard the Lord of Darkness threatening Huang Yiyi with his name.

Yiyi, please don't come!

Lin Tianming did not want Huang Yiyi to come, nor did he want her to wake up.

He wished to keep their relationship as it was for now.

If Huang Yiyi were to wake up, they would likely find themselves on opposing sides.

"Lord of Darkness, come at me if you must, but don't you dare harm Yiyi!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's words, the Lord of Darkness laughed.

"Lin Tianming, I've heard about that special light that can harm the Deceit God's True Body from the Master of Ten Thousand Tribulations and the Lord of Light.

I've deliberately arrived after you've expended that light to confront you, this mortal.

That light was given to you by that degenerate Old God who fell from the Divine Altar, wasn't it? Without that power, what do you have to fight me with?"

The Lord of Darkness's words also sharpened Lin Tianming's gaze.

So the Lord of Darkness had planned this timing for his arrival.

Using a Divine Realm Demon to force him into a desperate situation to reveal his strongest trump card, the Heart Over Matter Power, before making his apocalyptic appearance.

What a cunning plan!

But the Lord of Darkness miscalculated one thing.

His Heart Over Matter Power might also be golden, but it's the ultimate state of Spiritual Power Ascension, not the King of Dream Court's power that belongs to Huang Yiyi.

Even so, Lin Tianming found himself at a dead end.

Looking at Jiang Han and Tianshui lying unconscious on the ground, he wanted to rescue them and escape, but he was restrained by the Lord of Darkness, unable to move.

Was he truly going to fall here?

"It's still too slow for such an arrival... At this moment, only half of my True Body has entered... It must be faster!"

At that moment, the Lord of Darkness, dissatisfied with the speed of his arrival, began to frenziedly harvest the negative emotions of humans and other beings worldwide.

Instantly, the energy of negative emotions manifested as black mist, rushing towards the Imperial Underground Demon Tomb.

"Yes... Just like this! Hahaha... Power is continuously flowing into my body... It won't be long before my entire True Body arrives in this world!"

Lin Tianming had already felt somewhat at his wit's end.

But seeing the Lord of Darkness harvesting global negative emotions, he saw a glimpse of hope again.

If he could absorb negative emotion energy like before, perhaps he could break the stalemate!

Thinking so, Lin Tianming's eyes became resolute, attempting to wrestle the negative emotion energy away from the Lord of Darkness.

At that moment, the negative emotion energy initially flowing towards the Lord of Darkness began to converge around Lin Tianming.

Simultaneously, Lin Tianming's aura began to swell drastically.

This time he was absorbing the negative emotional energy of beings from all global regions, not just from a single domain.

In just a brief moment, Lin Tianming powerfully stepped into the God Realm, and his aura continued to rise at an increasingly rapid rate.

"How... How is this possible? You... Even if you were chosen by that useless Old God, capable of using negative emotions for yourself, you shouldn't be able to outpace me!"

"This time it's my True Body descending… As an incarnation of darkness... How could I possibly lose to you?"

As Lin Tianming absorbed more and more global negative emotions, the Deceit God Dark Lord's True Body, previously seen as overwhelmingly powerful, gradually appeared less formidable.

Soon, he felt the Deceit God Dark Lord in front of him was as insignificant as an ant.

And...

And he continued to harvest the endless negative emotions globally, his power still growing without restraint!

Lin Tianming wasn't sure if this was just an illusion.

It seemed that with just a thought, the Deceit God Dark Lord who once eradicated the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms and brought endless terror and darkness to the world could be eradicated on the spot.

He didn't rush to act but tried to break free from the Lord of Darkness's control.

In an instant, he effortlessly escaped from the shackles of dark power and the numerous bindings of deceitful dark hands.

"Bold of you to absorb negative emotions in His presence, as if wishing for a swift death."

Above the Demon Tomb, the Jiuzhou Woman smiled and shook her head as she witnessed this scene.

At the same time, Huang Yiyi also appeared in the Imperial Underground Demon Tomb.

Previously, whenever Huang Yiyi was emotionally unstable, she would involuntarily transform into a Holy Golden butterfly and flee.

But she couldn't control this power herself or know the exact location where she would teleport.

But this time, perhaps because Lin Tianming was in danger, she seemed able to control her teleportation destination.

As soon as she arrived and saw Lin Tianming, Huang Yiyi immediately ran excitedly toward him.

"Tianming!"

Lin Tianming was originally planning to settle things with the Lord of Darkness after breaking free from the constraints, but Huang Yiyi's sudden appearance startled him.

Hugged warmly by the concerned Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming gently rubbed her little head.

"Why did you come, Yiyi? Didn't I ask you to stay safely at Senior Sister Yu Fei's home?"

"I'm... I'm sorry! I... I heard that bad guy threatening you with my name… I was worried about you… so... I came..."

Huang Yiyi, who had always been very obedient, was afraid that Lin Tianming would scold her for being reckless for running to find him.

Fortunately, Lin Tianming did not blame her but soothed her instead: "Yiyi, it's alright. Since you've come, let's just allow it, but don't do this again. I'm not that easy to kill."

Suddenly, the mocking voice of the Lord of Darkness, full of ridicule, rang out.

"How pathetic! You, who once nobly stood as the King of Dream Court... now reduced to bearing such a mundane mortal name by a mortal!"

"And you are so obedient in front of this mortal... The once supremely proud Yellow-clothed King... has ultimately fallen!"

"Let me send you on your last journey! I shall at least preserve the final dignity of your title as the ruler of Dream Court!"

Hearing the mockery from the Lord of Darkness, Lin Tianming was about to test whether his power, which continued to surge, could instantly annihilate the Lord of Darkness.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yiyi suddenly looked at the Lord of Darkness with extreme anger.

"Tianming, you used to protect me all the time, and now that you're in the clutches of this villain, it's my turn to protect you!"

Just as Lin Tianming was about to explain that he had become strong from absorbing negative emotion energy and no longer feared the Lord of Darkness, Huang Yiyi suddenly unleashed a terrifying might.

The horrific might… was even stronger than his after absorbing negative emotion energy for such a long time!

At this moment, Lin Tianming had a very ominous feeling.

Huang Yiyi... wouldn't be awakening, would she?

Indeed, what he feared happened.

Initially, Huang Yiyi's power erupted merely from the anger she felt wanting to protect Lin Tianming.

She herself didn't know how to utilize this power.

But as her strength momentarily surpassed Lin Tianming, who had absorbed negative emotion energy, her expression became suddenly dazed.

As her powers revived, all the memories of why she had been wandering all this time also flooded back into her mind.

Her timid and shy personality quickly dissipated due to the revival of her powers and memories.

Remembering everything, the way she looked at the Deceit God Dark Lord also changed.

From an anger meant to protect Lin Tianming just once, it shifted to an indifferent and detached expression.

As if the Deceit God Dark Lord was merely dust in her eyes, not even worth a spark of interest.

Beneath her notice, even when she just happened to walk by.

But upon witnessing Huang Yiyi's awakening, the Dark Lord let out a mad laughter.

"Yes... that's the look... the very look I detest immensely! Every time I see that look, I want to throw you into the abyss, to make you look up to me!"

"You are finally back, King of Dream Court! It seems your memory isn't fully recovered yet, still wearing that look as if you can't even see me! Let me tell you... the true reason you were thrown off the divine altar those years ago!"

"The very reason why the crown of King of Dream Court shattered was my doing! I was the mastermind, in collaboration with other Deceit Gods... personally responsible for your downfall from the divine altar!"

"Be angry! Now that you have heard the true reason for your downfall those years ago, you should be angry, right? You should treat me seriously now, shouldn't you? Hahaha!"

Fully awakened, Huang Yiyi had no intention of dealing with the Deceit God Dark Lord, who acted like a madman.

In her eyes, no matter how much time passed, the Lord of Darkness was just the dust she would never notice passing by her.

Now that she was awake, there were many more important things to do; it wasn't worth her time to deal with such minuscule dust that couldn't even be seen by her eyes.

Awakened as she was, she didn't plan to help Lin Tianming annihilate the Lord of Darkness.

It wasn't that her recovered memories made her indifferent to Lin Tianming.

It was that, from her perspective, with the power Lin Tianming now possessed from absorbing negative emotions, he didn't need her help to kill the Lord of Darkness.

But when she heard the so-called truth of her downfall from the divine altar, she was momentarily stunned.

She carefully recalled her past.

Memories of dissipating her own power and intending to find Lin Tianming in a confused state flickered through her mind; she didn't remember being secretly harmed by something like the Lord of Darkness.

In her memories, she had never even seen the Lord of Darkness, leaving Huang Yiyi somewhat puzzled.

After briefly pondering, as if she had realized something, she adjusted her perspective to notice the dust and recollected once more.

This time, she finally saw the Lord of Darkness in her memories.

And she saw the other culprits mentioned by the Lord of Darkness.

She laughed.

So the Lord of Darkness considered her own decision to dissipate her powers and find Lin Tianming as his doing along with other bits of dust?

Such a trivial piece of dust, one that usually couldn't even catch her sight, sure had a rich imagination!

From the very beginning, the Lord of Darkness could never have harmed her.

For dust like the Lord of Darkness that might want to kill her, it still wouldn't draw any of her attention.

Why would she even be angry with a piece of dust?

Just let the Lord of Darkness cling to his supposed truth and go mad!

Realizing why the Lord of Darkness believed he was the one who threw her from the divine altar, Huang Yiyi felt that to entangle herself with this piece of dust was a waste of her precious time.

Just as she was about to leave along with the Jiuzhou woman above ground, a word from the Lord of Darkness made her change her mind.

"Even so, you still feel not even a bit of anger? Then I will kill this chosen mortal ant you picked, and completely crush your pride underfoot!"

Mortal?

Ant?

This tiny speck of dust... dared to insult her most respected, most admired imposing figure as an ant in front of her?

Unforgivable!
