Within the Imperial City.

"Jidu Star Lord, Child of the Stars... All the demons of the star lineage are in full revolt, determined to battle my Imperial Family to the death?"

Great Saint Zhou Yi laughed heartily: "Come! Even if the Eternal Night Star descends, this old man has no fear!"

In truth, the star lineage has been the most pitifully suppressed by the Daoist sects.

Their Great Evil Demons, their true bodies sealed within the stars, hang above the nine heavens, generally severely wounded.

The more unfortunate ones, like the Child of the Stars, have been dismembered. Even if their projected powers can reassemble, they can't match their original forms.

In theory, Zhong Shenxiu's opponent is the weakest among the Great Evils.

But the Jidu Star Lord fares somewhat better, using Wei Rong of the Jidu Star Fate as a vessel, it can exert a regular Great Evil's power.

Among the three Great Saints of the Imperial Family, one is out on inspection, one fell with Huang Long, leaving only Zhou Yi in the Imperial City.

But in the Imperial City, Zhou Yi is confident he can resist such a Great Evil for a moment, or even both of them joining forces!

In just a moment, regardless of how slow the Daoist reinforcements are, they should have arrived.

"Daoist Skill is natural!"

Great Saint Zhou Yi cast another talisman, causing the earth to tremble.

From the ground, twisted vines emerged, forming humanoid fruits and flowers with faces.

Stones cracked open, and black flowers sprouted from them.

"Inexhaustible, limitless, it is the infinite storehouse!"

With Zhou Yi's words, countless plants flourished, suddenly collapsing inward, enveloping Wei Rong and forming a gigantic vine sphere.

Taking this opportunity, he scanned swiftly and saw Hu Wei and his father.

"Humph, traitors deserve to die!"

Zhou Yi pointed a finger, instantly reducing them to a mist of blood.

But in the next moment, he felt something amiss. For after their mortal bodies exploded, the blood and flesh seemed to possess life, exuding intense spirituality.

And here, it was truly very close to that sea lake!

Swish!

The stench-filled lake surged from the ground, boiling as if a dying wanderer in the desert saw a jug of fresh water.

The lake water surged, quickly submerging the two corpses.

The specks of black and red rapidly merged into the lake, vanishing without a trace.

"It worked!"

Outside the Imperial Palace, not far away, the middle-aged altar master of the Iron Blood Society and Iron-faced People observed, the altar master muttering to himself: "It was worth inserting that deadly poison into Hu Wei and his father, and feeding them so many Spirit Pills, haha... their flesh and blood, in Zhou Xuanhai's current state, are irresistible. Once swallowed, the show begins..."

"I never thought, behind our Iron Blood Society, there would be demons!"

The voice of the Iron-faced People sounded strange.

"For revenge, what does it matter to sell one's soul to demons?"

The altar master was indifferent.

"And that deadly poison... what is it?" The Iron-faced People continued to ask.

"To a Great Saint, or even a Half-step Great Saint, poison is as harmless as candy... Therefore, what I'm giving Zhou Xuanhai is truly good stuff."

The altar master licked his lips: "A sacred object of the Heavenly Mother Sect, said to be a trace of divinity from their worshipped Heavenly Mother, haha... our society acquired it at great cost."

"Such divinity, if a master of the Heavenly Mother Sect wishes to break through, refining a portion, can increase the chance of success by thirty percent... but for Zhou Xuanhai, it is a deadly poison. He takes an unorthodox path, using the Heavenly Mother Scripture to enhance his skills, which is already quite risky. Adding this divinity will immediately break the balance... even if he breaks through, it will be into a Great Evil, not a Great Saint!"

...

Within the core of the Imperial Palace.

After consuming that flesh and blood, the lake boiled, and a layer of dazzling colors spread.

Within the lake, the Merfolk burst open at once, regardless of gender, their bellies swelling rapidly, then cut open by little claws, from which emerged grotesque mer-creatures.

It was as if the entire lake was imbued with the concept of 'life'.

And at the bottom of the lake, the balance on the enormous form Zhou Xuanhai had transformed into was pitifully shattered.

The huge face of Zhou Xuanhai showed pain, with flesh-colored Lingzhi sprouting all over him, quickly devoured by parasitic crabs, fish, and sea worms.

After devouring the flesh-colored Lingzhi, the abdomen of the fish parasitizing the giant swelled, burst open, releasing a school of fish.

Numerous sea beasts quickly engulfed the giant.

"No!"

Zhou Xuanhai roared with fury, his enormous body exploding, a surge of tentacles filled with suckers extending, constantly devouring small fish and shrimp.

With each act of devouring, his form grew ever larger, irrepressibly transforming into a Great Evil!

"Haha! Haha! Success!"

The middle-aged altar master was ecstatic, nearly mad: "This Zhou Xuanhai is the true Great Evil we unleashed! I will not only ruin you but also make you reap what you have sown!"

"Thief!"

Great Saint Zhou Yi, eyes full of rage, clapped his hands.

The exposed altar master and Iron-faced People instantly became meat pies.

Bam!

At this moment, the vine sphere was torn apart, Wei Rong's figure leaping out, a spear thrusting.

When the vine sphere shattered, Great Saint Zhou Yi's form trembled, and he could only turn carefully to counter the spear, unable to aid Zhou Xuanhai in any way.

...

A figure quickly entered the Imperial Palace, standing atop a roof over the water, gazing complexly at the mutating Zhou Xuanhai, it was Princess Tianluo!

Her face full of complexity, she took out an iron box from her bosom, opening it to reveal a flesh-colored little figure inside.

Yet at this moment, the little figure curled up, its back sprouting multiple octopus tentacles, also undergoing a monstrous transformation!

"Even the pre-divided core has turned out like this, the transformation is irreversible!"

Princess Tianluo bit her lip, pulling out a grey-white dagger, fiercely stabbing it into the little figure!

Thud!

The little figure's aberration paused, beginning to twitch violently, invisible flames igniting on its body.

Splosh!

On the lake, spray scattered, and intricately sinister tentacles froze in place.

The countless droplets fell, revealing a terrifying monster: "Good... Tianluo... you came to fulfill the pact... The Soldier Disassembly Artifact and Soldier Disintegration Magic Sword I prepared long ago, I never thought there would be a day to use them."

A broken voice came from the monster: "Come... kill me..."

Princess Tianluo let out a clear whistle, merging with her dagger into a stream of black and white light, rushing towards the monster.

The tentacles tried several times to swat Tianluo away like a fly, but paused, as if two consciousnesses were fiercely vying.

In the end, Princess Tianluo reached the monster.

Slash!

Countless chunks of flesh split open, revealing a head mostly melted away, it was Zhou Xuanhai.

He looked at Princess Tianluo, a smile appearing on his face.

Thud!

Princess Tianluo did not hesitate any longer, her sword piercing through the head.
