You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Lin Yue was shocked.

—Shocked that even his Master couldn't resist the Source of Eternal Night?

He had guessed that there must be a reason why his Master had always confined himself to the deepest part of the Ancestor Hall, and it now seemed likely that it was because contact with the Source of Eternal Night would cause demonization?

However, he knew why his Master did not intervene and thus dispersed this avatar.

Simply because... there was no need anymore.

The Demon Saints were also shocked.

—Shocked that they had actually survived?

They had initially thought that the Main Hall Master would surely unleash a final strike before dissipating, that even with the influence of the Source of Eternal Night, if he could not kill Golden Feather Demon Saint and Duanmu Yan who controlled the World Tree Branch, at least he could seriously injure them, and by the way, effortlessly kill the five of them, the Demon Saints.

But... just to dissipate like this?

Could it be that the Main Hall Master thought that killing them five was meaningless, that it wouldn't change the outcome, so he didn't bother to make a move?

For those who have not undergone Proving and Transcending, this assumption seemed implausible, hard to believe.

But the Main Hall Master was one who had Proved and Transcended, having stepped outside of heaven and earth, naturally, he would avoid getting involved in things of the world as much as possible, otherwise, heaven and earth would also bring down disasters.

Maybe that was why he spared them?

After all, even without the five of them, they could not harm this virtualized Seventeenth Prince.

Despite still feeling that something was off, they could only explain it as such.

"Seventeenth Prince."

In the profound depths of the Eternal Night, only the magical light of Magic Treasures and Divine Skills shone, and Duanmu Yan laughed heartily, "Now that your greatest reliance is gone, aren't you going to surrender?"

Lin Yue frowned but remained silent.

Not far off, in the demonizing flesh embryo that was sensing the outside world, the Immortal True Monarch couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After discovering the arrival of the Main Hall Master, he was so scared he was nearly out of his wits; now that he saw that the Demon Clan still had a means to check and balance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time... The Seventeenth Prince was definitely doomed, right?

"It seems Your Highness is not reconciled."

Duanmu Yan chuckled softly and without more words, immediately sent a Divine Thought Transmission, "Golden Feather Demon Saint, make your move. Give him three chances, enough for him to force Harmonization."

In an instant, Golden Feather Demon Saint turned into a terrifying golden lightning, streaking across the sky, and at the same time, piercing through the virtualized Lin Yue.

The destructive glow of lightning wriggled and meandered.

Lin Yue emerged from virtualization, his face ashen, his breath instantly weakened a great deal, and yet with a surprising speed, frantically recovered.

But no matter how quickly he recovered, he couldn't be faster than Golden Feather Demon Saint's deadly attack!

At most, three moves.

Within three moves, all his life forces could be completely obliterated!

"There's no other way, if this goes on, I might really die..."

As the raging winds intermingled with flashes of lightning, the breath of death loomed close, and Lin Yue couldn't help but let out a resigned sigh in his heart.

At this moment, a black thread wrapped around his right index finger suddenly snapped.

To be precise, it was a strand of hair.

It was a strand of hair that emitted an illusory aura, even faintly connected to a virtual yet true world; when it encircled Lin Yue's finger, it seemed as if it did not exist, unnoticed by anyone.

But the moment it broke, everyone in the miniature world formed by the World Tree noticed its existence.

It was so delicate and minuscule, yet the pressure it emitted, the sense of presence, felt like a vast and boundless world pressing down, impossible for anyone to ignore!

Simultaneously, from the depths of the unknown, a grand and elusive power descended from nowhere, quietly merging into the strand of hair.

Even the miniature world formed by the World Tree could not stop this power!

"This... impossible!" Duanmu Yan's eyes went round with shock, his whole body trembling.

"What is going..." Golden Feather Demon Saint was also stunned.

A grand and elusive power descended from nowhere, and when the tiny strand of hair received this power, it instantly became corporeal, revealing the figure of a woman.

She was a young woman wearing a Phoenix Crown, draped in a bright red palace dress, with a hazy veil over her face, and a string of pearl-like accessories on her forehead, perfectly covering the area between her brows, leaving only a pair of eyes shrouded in ethereal mist visible.

As the illusory became real, an unmatched and terrible aura also began to diffuse.

The whole miniature world, engulfed by the Eternal Night, trembled at its presence.

"Eternal Peace Princess!"

Duanmu Yan immediately recognized the woman's identity, his pupils shrinking rapidly.

Golden Feather Demon Saint's face also turned pale.

Eternal Peace Princess, also known as the Second Princess of Xiahong.

The Reincarnation of the Ancestor of the Illusion Demon!

Among the Princes and Princesses who had been confirmed to have Proved and Transcended, there was this Eternal Peace Princess!

What the Demon Saint assembly found most unbelievable was the undeniable pressure from Eternal Peace Princess; it belonged to one who had Proved their path!

It was actually her True Body?

Just before, everyone sensed that the hair itself was only a vessel, because after receiving the power that descended from the unknown, it formed a True Body.

The Demon Saints could no longer concern themselves with being shocked at the horror of Eternal Peace Princess manifesting her True Body from a distance, they were more shocked by—

Despite the World Tree's filtering of heaven and earth, how could Eternal Peace Princess ignore the boundaries of heaven and earth?

"Don't panic."

Duanmu Yan immediately conveyed through Divine Thought Transmission, "Ancestor of Illusion Demon is most adept at these bewitching tricks. Perhaps even the pressure which seems to belong to the True Body is just a method to confuse us."

Upon hearing this, Golden Feather Demon Saint also regained some composure.

Indeed, it was possible.

After all, the miraculous nature of the World Tree, separating heaven and earth, even in the eyes of the entire Demon Clan, only the Dream Demon Ancestor could use dreams to directly appear within the world formed by the World Tree.
