Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

For a time, the situation in the Wasteland became chaotic.

Human Clan cultivators all sought a Great Opportunity, their gazes turning toward the depths of the Boundary Monument. Though they were eager to act, not one had yet entered.

The Wilderness tribe was also in turmoil, especially after the Fire Tribe had been annihilated; the major powers became extremely cautious.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month went by.

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from deep within the region, rumbling like thunder beneath the sky, an echo that lingered long.

Everyone was stirred.

Looking from afar, that area was submerged in crimson, as if a river of blood had fallen from the Nine Heavens—a shocking sight.

Some activated their Hetero Pupil, only to witness a terrifying scene: a coffin plummeted down, its powerful aura crushing the sky and the earth.

Countless mountains collapsed, the ground cracked, and fissures spread in all directions.

The Wilderness tribe powerhouses who had previously entered the region were all slain at this moment. Blood mist spread out, and their bodies instantly turned to dust.

It was terrifying.

Divine Body Chen Shixian's expression was solemn, her breathing slightly rapid.

Elsewhere, Bai Yunfei and the Divine King also saw it, their hearts surged with emotion. At this moment, Zi Yan swiftly entered the Boundary Monument region and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"That coffin is not simple," someone said.

There was once a legend. After the Primitive Demon God was defeated, its body shattered and was lost in every corner of the Wasteland, but its Divine Soul remained immortal.

Forced by circumstances, the powerhouses who acted at that time dismembered the Primitive Demon God's Divine Soul into four parts: one was suppressed within a coffin, another within the void, the third in a black river deep within the Wasteland, and the fourth... Sword Mountain...

But since it was only a legend, and the Wilderness tribe powerhouses had searched for many years without finding anything, this legend gradually faded.

Now, the descent of a coffin from the Boundary Monument reminded them of that legend.

Is it true? The Primitive Demon God's Divine Soul still exists?

Many Wilderness tribe powerhouses felt their hearts pound; they sensed an opportunity.

The number of figures following closely behind Zi Yan increased—from a few, to a dozen, until finally, throngs of them could be seen entering.

"That coffin must conceal a Great Opportunity!" Shi Yi exclaimed, his gaze fervent.

"Unless you wish to die," Nangong Jue said coolly, glancing sideways.

It had fallen from the Boundary Monument region, collapsing the sky and the earth.

Nangong Jue was certain that no one present could approach it.

Chen Shixian spoke, "Let's wait a little longer."

The Boundary Monument region had shown no signs of disturbance for tens of thousands of years, but now... the scale of events was immense, giving her a dreadful premonition, as if a terrible upheaval was imminent.

She had to remain vigilant.

Moreover, the disturbances from the Boundary Monument region seemed to be drawing nearer. Several months had passed, yet there was still no sign of Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu.

Is this normal?

Chen Shixian frowned deeply.

「Meanwhile」

Unbeknownst to everyone, while all eyes were focused on the Boundary Monument region, Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu had arrived at Sword Mountain.

"Whoa!" Chen Pingping suddenly exclaimed. "What's that?"

Not far away, a blood-stained arm lay quietly on the grass, wrapped in the Power of Sealing.

Despite this, Guang Xiaoyu recognized it at a glance: a limb of the Primitive Demon God.

She stared with wide eyes, in disbelief.

Beside her, the Earth Chicken rolled its eyes.

The Eight Treasures Chicken couldn't help but mutter, Why not just give it to her directly?

Afterward, Guang Xiaoyu silently walked up and picked it up. She looked at Sword Mountain before her, then glanced at her Senior Brother, immediately understanding everything.

Guang Xiaoyu's thoughts raced. What truly unsettled me is that Senior Brother must have known about my cultivation path for a long time, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have given me that wooden sword. Moreover, several times during my cultivation, I clearly sensed something was off with my state; Demonic Qi might have leaked out. But each time I awoke, everything was as calm as still water. And then there was that time in the abyss when he perfectly avoided that... particular topic. And now he's secretly tossed out an arm of the Primitive Demon God... Heh heh! That wretched Senior Brother! He knew full well I'm a Demon Cultivator, yet he still protected me like this. AAAAH! This Empress is so incredibly touched! However...

Guang Xiaoyu's eyes darted around as she tried to guess Chen Pingping's intention. Does he want me to enter seclusion so he can face that Demon Cultivator in Sword Mountain alone? Impossible!

After stowing away the Primitive Demon God's arm, she had no intention of entering seclusion at all and simply stood quietly to the side.

Chen Pingping grew somewhat anxious. Such a temptation, and she's not going into seclusion?

The Eight Treasures Chicken couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out, "Why don't you stay outside?"

"No!" She shook her head. "There must be a Great Opportunity inside Sword Mountain. I have to go!" she declared, brandishing her small, delicate fists.

Her determination was clear.

Ultimately, Chen Pingping decided they would go together. After all, she was a Demon Cultivator and might prove useful when confronting the Demon Cultivator in the depths of Sword Mountain.

They continued forward.

Sword Mountain, typically like a Life Prohibited Zone, became easily traversable with the Earth Chicken leading the way. Seals were broken directly, and arrays dismantled on the spot. After all, it had now merged with two Ancient Bloodstones, receiving much of its ancestors' bloodline and inheritance, and its strength had greatly increased.

The Eight Treasures Chicken said, "The entire Sword Mountain is a massive seal. If ordinary people came here, they would definitely not be able to leave. But you all are lucky."

Guang Xiaoyu glanced at it, thinking, And what does that have to do with you?

A long stone staircase appeared, flanked by lush green mountains and clear waters.

But at this moment, the group halted. The Earth Chicken's expression turned solemn, and it hesitated to move forward.

Chen Pingping also detected the fluctuation of an aura on the stone staircase. A Demon Cultivator! he realized.

Guang Xiaoyu's interest was piqued. This was the first time since her rebirth that she had encountered a fellow Demon Cultivator, and she was eager to see for herself. "I'll go ahead and check it out," she said.

Without waiting for Chen Pingping to speak, she strode forward.

Unlike this Demon Cultivator, the fluctuations of Demonic Qi from her own body were very well concealed. Unless she wished it, ordinary cultivators would be unable to detect it.

But this one was different; its Demonic Qi enveloped the entire stone staircase, stretching out for a great distance.

She walked for a long time, yet there seemed to be no end in sight.

Turning back, she could no longer see her Senior Brother. She paused for a moment, then a smile touched her lips. It's better if he can't see.

Even though Chen Pingping already knew I cultivated demonic arts... sometimes it's still better to hide it a little. Knowing something and having it said aloud are two different things. He is, after all, an orthodox cultivator of the Human Clan.

"Come out!" Guang Xiaoyu called.

CACKLE!

A chilling wind carried an eerie laughter, truly spine-chilling to hear.

Then, a figure shrouded in black mist emerged. Its body and face were unseen; only a pair of eerie red eyes were visible.

It spoke in a hoarse voice, "A Demon Cultivator!"

"It seems you still possess some sanity," Guang Xiaoyu observed. "You're no ordinary Demon Cultivator. Even though your body and Divine Soul have been eroded by Demonic Qi, you've managed to maintain your reason. I don't understand, why would you choose to guard this place?" Willing to become a pawn of 'God', she silently added.

The Demon Cultivator said hoarsely, "Contract."
