At this moment, Chen Hao suddenly stood up, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upward. The purple vortex on his left eye was expanding continuously—this was the final technique of the Nether Eye Power that he had cultivated from the power he had obtained from the Nether King's Heart—the Nether Acupoint.

"Hmph! See where you can run to now!" Chen Hao sneered. After speaking, the purple color on his left eye suddenly expanded several times over, and the surrounding air and energy field distorted and twisted, forming a massive whirlpool. With immense gravitational force, the whirlpool drew in the Soul Devouring Beast, which had turned into a green stream of air, and the Wandering Souls lurking in the shadows.

"Moo!"

The Soul Devouring Beast, which had taken the form of a stream of air and was trying to escape, reverted to its original shape right before being sucked into the Nether Acupoint and let out its last cry of struggle and plea for mercy. After that, its massive body was gradually drawn into the Nether Acupoint, until it was completely absorbed.

After absorbing the Soul Devouring Beast, Chen Hao immediately retracted the Nether Acupoint technique.

He paused for a moment before opening his left eye, which still carried the residual green glint from the Soul Devouring Beast.

"Ugh!" Chen Hao suddenly let out a pained cry, feeling an immensely unbearable sensation, as if his stomach was so stuffed it was about to burst. He remembered what Ye Yuqiao had said earlier, that everything sucked into the Nether Acupoint would be absorbed into his body.

"It must be because the Soul Devouring Beast is too big, and it's hard to digest all at once!" Chen Hao muttered to himself.

Having said that, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and observed the purple light above his left eye. He suddenly realized that what was originally just a flame-shaped light had now turned into a purple bud, which was brewing and ready to blossom. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of flower would bloom when this bud opened?

"Hiss!" Chen Hao's body shivered uncontrollably all of a sudden. He felt an incessant flow of Yin Qi Spiritual Power emanating from the purple bud near his left eye and seeping into his bloodstream. That Yin Qi Spiritual Power was cold, as if it carried a profound sediment from ages past: his mind wandered to glaciers, to hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Earth was covered by ice everywhere.

"Was that the era when the Soul Devouring Beast was born?" Chen Hao asked himself as his body could not stop shivering. "Am I absorbing the Soul Devouring Beast's Spiritual Power now?"

Meanwhile, at Ye Yuqiao's residence.

Feeling that the Nether King's Heart had absorbed a profound and deeply Yin Spiritual Power, Ye Yuqiao, who was lying in bed, suddenly opened her eyes, a slight curve appearing at her lips. Pride surged within her for Chen Hao, as she murmured, "This bastard has really erupted!"

Thinking about how Chen Hao would be back soon, she wondered if she should tell him to his face whether she liked him or not. Ye Yuqiao's face flushed with a shy blush, her heart pounding chaotically, and she felt unusually nervous. She buried herself under the covers, enveloping herself tightly, hoping that when Chen Hao returned, he would forget about this matter or see her asleep and not have the heart to wake her.

But Ye Yuqiao knew very well that Chen Hao wouldn't forget. If he really did forget, on the contrary, she would become upset.

"Oh, this is so annoying!" Ye Yuqiao grumbled, her mind filled with images of Chen Hao. "You're really a bastard! I don't like you, not one bit!"

Ten minutes later, in the outskirts of Y City's mountains and forests.

At this moment, Chen Hao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had stopped shivering. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, although his face remained calm, the blood in his body was restless and agitated, awaiting release.

"Haha!" Chen Hao burst into laughter, his only thought now was to hurry home to Ye Yuqiao. He was full of confidence that Ye Yuqiao would definitely say she liked her!

As he turned around, a violent wind started to blow around him. He looked around and, suspecting that Wind Girl was approaching, he called out to the air, "Wind Girl, I know it's you, show yourself now, I have something to tell you!"

The winds around him grew more rapid!

Yet Wind Girl did not appear.

"Wind Girl!" Chen Hao spoke out loud, his expression calm and composed. "Shadow Demon entrusted me with a few words for you before its death!"

The wind ceased, and suddenly, a terrifying silence enveloped the surroundings.

Not long after, in the still wind, a sorrowful whimper began to echo, desolate and forlorn. Soon after, Wind Girl appeared a meter in front of Chen Hao. Her head was bowed slightly, and her pale, snowy face was streaked with two clear tears. Her tears fell down her cheeks and turned into wisps of wind, drifting backward and gently brushing through Wind Girl's snow-like hair.

Her tears must also be made of ice, Chen Hao thought. The jubilation he previously felt was now tinged with sadness, and he sympathized with the wind-like woman before him and the enigmatic Shadow Demon.

"You said Shadow Demon is dead!" Wind Girl suddenly looked up at Chen Hao with grief in her eyes that suddenly sharpened like a blade. "Did you kill it?"

Chen Hao nodded somberly with an air of resignation, "I killed him, but..."

"But what!" Wind Girl's voice suddenly bore a murderous intent. She transformed into a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, was in front of Chen Hao with her cold hand gripping his throat. "By killing him, you destroyed everything for me!"

"Let me... finish speaking," Chen Hao's voice was hoarse; he felt suffocated by Wind Girl's tight grip on his throat.

Wind Girl snorted angrily, "There's nothing more to say. Today I kill you, tomorrow I'll kill the woman you love, and the day after that, I'll kill your friends. I will make you all regret it!"

Upon hearing Wind Girl threaten to kill Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao glared, realizing he couldn't properly convey the Shadow Demon's last words to Wind Girl. So, he activated the Nether Acupoint technique with his left eye.

A purple vortex appeared in Chen Hao's left eye, and then it began to expand continuously.

Feeling the pull from the Nether Acupoint, Wind Girl gritted her teeth and glared fiercely, "Do you really underestimate me that much! Even though you have an immortal body, I still have ways to deal with you!"

"Ahhh!" Wind Girl suddenly let out a wild roar toward the sky, her face twisted ferociously.

Subsequently, a vortex also emerged beneath the feet of her and Chen Hao, from which a "woo woo hoo hoo" sound of howling wind emanated.

"You will spend eternity in this wind vortex, enduring endless solitude just like me!" Wind Girl released the grip from Chen Hao's neck.

Chen Hao then fell into the wind vortex.

At this moment, at Ye Yuqiao's home. Sensing that the Nether King's Heart's power had suddenly disappeared, Ye Yuqiao sprang up from her bed, her brows tightly furrowed. She closed her eyes, searching for the presence of the Nether King's Heart.

A minute later, she opened her eyes, frantic, "Chen Hao, where have you gone?"

Without hesitation, she activated the Nether King's Power within her and disappeared from the room. In the blink of an eye, she appeared next to Wind Girl, just as Wind Girl had sealed the wind vortex.

"Where did he go?" Ye Yuqiao asked Wind Girl, her eyes and voice both exuding a cold authority.

"Hmph!" Wind Girl smirked, "You'll never see him again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wind Girl let out a horrific scream, being torn at by an invisible force.

Ye Yuqiao stepped forward, grabbed Wind Girl by the hair, and coldly demanded, "Release him, or I will make you disappear forever!"

The sound of wind hissing arose, and the hair of Wind Girl that Ye Yuqiao held turned into wind, with Wind Girl herself transforming into wind and rapidly departing.

"Hmph, trying to escape!" Ye Yuqiao's eyes shone with a fierce light, and suddenly the entire forest was shrouded in darkness, the air turned solid.

Transformed into wind, Wind Girl manifested in the air, completely immobilized.

Ye Yuqiao approached Wind Girl, her face reflecting the aura of a ruler, and commanded loudly, "Release him!"

"Hmph!" Wind Girl chuckled lightly, "Kill me then, so you'll never see him again. After all, the Shadow Demon is already dead, and my life has no purpose left."

Ye Yuqiao hung her head.

After a long while, she lifted her head again, her eyes brimming with tears. Ditching the Nether King's persona and authority, she pleaded with Wind Girl, "Please, let me go into the wind vortex to be with him."

Wind Girl was taken aback, and after a long pause, with teary eyes, she asked, "Have you thought it through? Once you enter the wind vortex, you can never come out."

Ye Yuqiao nodded without hesitation.

..

In Netherworld City, east of Zhao Family.

Sensing the use of Nether King's Power, Zhao Chong, who had been in a light sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, the third time he had sensed it this month.

He held his breath, feeling quietly; the Nether King's Power was still surging, this definitely couldn't be his illusion anymore!

"Yuqiao, it's you!" Zhao Chong exclaimed as he leaped out of bed. After throwing on a robe, he suddenly vanished from the room, arriving in the mortal world...
