"Luo Hai, since you wish to know, there's no harm in me telling you!"

Luo Shen's beautiful eyes lightly swept over Bai Xiaofan who stood nearby, then fixed on Luo Hai, "I've known for a long time that in this Immortal Slaying Ground, there resides an ancient fire phoenix, severely injured and fallen here, leaving behind only an inner pill containing all the fire phoenix's cultivation!"

"But this inner pill is surrounded by countless seals, and relying solely on my own strength, I couldn't possibly break them. As you know, in the immortal realm or the cultivation world, people's hearts are selfish; if I ever revealed this news, even to my master, I would surely be eliminated, and the inner pill would be snatched by someone else!"

"Thus I have secretly visited this Immortal Slaying Ground countless times, seeking to break the restraints binding the Fire Phoenix Inner Pill. The heavens do not disappoint; finally, I found a method!"

"However, this method requires assistance and at least a mid-stage True Immortal cultivator. So I thought of you, coincidentally bringing several mid-stage True Immortal experts, thus with your help, we finally broke the restriction!"

"Actually, you shouldn't blame me. Before using this method, I was extremely resolute because this method involves infiltrating the restriction with a wisp of remnant soul when near death and merging with the Fire Phoenix Inner Pill!"

"Ultimately, I succeeded, unexpectedly, my first generation Sword Spirit, around twenty years ago, when the Immortal Slaying Ground opened once more, sneaked in and took me out!"

"I instructed him through my mind to seek out this crystal coffin, hiding my Primordial Spirit inside, accelerating my fusion with the Fire Phoenix Inner Pill!"

Luo Shen's voice was light, speaking of these matters as if irrelevant to herself, her expression unchanged.

Listening to Luo Shen's words, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of Luo Hai's mouth.

For a thousand years, though sealed here, he always thought, at least compared to his dead friends and the Luo Shen he killed, his outcome was better; given a chance, he could leave here and restore his former glory!

Now, hearing Luo Shen in person, he realized he had been the most miserable loser all along.

From beginning to end, he had been calculated by Luo Shen.

Step by step, he had fallen into the trap Luo Shen set for her…

"Even knowing I'm not your match, I've never been one to surrender, so let's fight!"

Luo Hai steadied his mind, quickly recovering from despair, gripping the demonic blade as he stood, eyes fixed on Luo Shen, shouting loudly.

"Good, it's fitting of Luo Hai, the venerable one who pursued me for decades. Then I won't torture you; I'll kill you with a single sword!"

Luo Shen's red lips gently parted, delicate hand slightly trembling as a scarlet beam cleaved across, resembling a rainbow stretching across the sky, slicing towards Luo Hai!

Luo Shen's sword seemed simple, less imposing than Li Wushuang's previous sword strike, but Luo Hai knew this sword was immeasurably stronger than Li Wushuang's attack!

The difference between the bright moon and a firefly!

Gathering all his Primordial Spirit within, channeling it into the demonic blade, Demonic Qi rode rampant, not only enveloping the demonic blade but also wrapping Luo Hai!

"Demonic Qi Rampage!"

Luo Hai leapt into the air, switching from single-handed to dual-handed grip, charging at Luo Shen, not even attempting to defend against her sword strike!

He understood, given their current cultivation levels, even with full defense, it couldn't change the destined outcome of his death.

Because their gap was immense, like an egg against a stone!

Have you ever seen a stone striking an egg, and the egg remaining unharmed?

Thus, Luo Hai had only one thought before death, using his strongest move to inflict any harm on Luo Shen, even a tiny bit…

But often, reality is unsatisfactory!

The demonic blade in Luo Hai's hand fiercely struck the scarlet light barrier before Luo Shen, but under the formidable strike, the barrier didn't even shudder!

Thud!

Luo Hai's body, however, spewed blood, his frame like a kite with a broken string, powerless as it flew backward.

Crash!

After crashing to the ground, Luo Hai continuously spewed blood, raising a hand with difficulty, observing the flame-like burn wound on his chest, a liberated arc surfacing on his lips!

A thousand years, finally free from living solely for strength!

At this moment, everything from his life, lots buried deep in memories, like slideshow images, flashed through Bai Xiaofan's mind.

Images of many people, his parents, his childhood sweetheart bullied by a town ruffian, his first climb to the immortal sect to apprentice, ridiculed and bullied by his senior brother…

As scene after scene flashed in Luo Hai's mind, a powerful and mysterious aura emanated from him.

Feeling the aura emitting from Luo Hai, Luo Shen's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise!

This power invoked a feeling of dread in her heart!

With her current Heavenly Immortal cultivation, to encounter a force that instills dread, it's incredibly unusual!

Boom!

At this moment, Bai Xiaofan, fused with inherited power, erupted with a loud sound, capturing Luo Shen's attention.

"This little fellow, able to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in such a place? But still too weak; with my cultivation, I can crush him with a mere finger!"

Luo Shen watched Bai Xiaofan slowly open his eyes, dark golden light retracting into his body, murmuring quietly.

Feeling the powerful force within, Bai Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement despite his usual calm demeanor!

Never expected, never anticipated, this excursion to the Immortal Slaying Ground not only gained the true Immortal Refining Technique, altering his Dantian and meridians profoundly, but when prior to entering the Immortal's legacy, only mid-stage transformation, he suddenly reached the initial Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

Such a leap, beyond any words to describe!

Yet, observing the scene before him, Bai Xiaofan suppressed his deep excitement, eyes sweeping over Luo Shen and Luo Hai!
