A sea of black spider lilies swayed gently in the wind.
Within the domain, almost no one was unaffected by the intense demonic energy, not even Yi, its master!
"Divine Demonic Eyes?" Yi stared at the dense darkness before him, only now realizing what it was.
The appearance of the spider lilies was perhaps due to the life force nourishment from the Supreme Demonic Body. However, the divine and demonic powers couldn't possibly be generated by a mere Saint Body, even if the "Supreme Demonic Body" contained the character for "demon."
"Supreme Demonic Body..." "Lei..." "So, Rao Yaoyao's speculation and Xiao Xiaoxiao's premonition have all come true?!"
Yi could barely believe it; the current situation was directly heading towards the worst possible outcome, leaving no room for negotiation.
He looked at the domain covering the entire area, knowing that with his domain active, outsiders, even through the Cloud Realm, wouldn't be able to observe what was happening inside.
The best option right now was to close the domain! But...
Xuan Wuji had already stated that he had seized control of the Heavenly Mechanism World, and even if Rao Yaoyao now sensed something was wrong and was trying her best to salvage the situation. But no one knew Xuan Wuji's profound mastery of Heavenly Mechanism Arts better than Yi. If he couldn't stall for enough time, even if he closed the domain, outsiders would likely remain confused, still unaware of what truly transpired here.
Moreover, there was clearly more than one Throne present here, and Xuan Wuji also possessed a domain. If he forfeited his geographical advantage, then the pervasive demonic energy would likely be taken over by someone else.
The most crucial point was... "I can't even relay the situation here to the outside!" Yi's heart sank abruptly.
The Lei Family remnant had appeared. The Saint Servant Xu Xiaoshou had appeared. Xuan Wuji, who had escaped from Void Island, was also present. It could be said that most of the individuals involved in the current tense situation in the East Heaven King City had appeared before him.
And these people, when discussing matters, showed no hesitation in his presence. What did that imply?
"They all want to silence me!" Yi suddenly smiled.
He simply stopped trying to clear his wounds. The lingering power of the sword will couldn't be erased quickly.
Yi looked at Lei Xier, who had suddenly transformed from a girl into a woman, and his eyes narrowed.
"Xu Xiaoshou, Xuan Wuji..." "Ultimately, they are only key figures at the moment. Even if I can't take them down immediately, Rao Yaoyao has made preparations. But the Lei Family remnant and the Divine Demonic Eyes absolutely cannot survive tonight!"
Yi immediately made a decision. Lei Xier, the variable introduced by her appearance, was too significant. So significant that it could unearth the tragic incident from over a decade ago and unleash a reign of terror across the continent once more. Why would someone who should have died long ago cling so dearly to the mortal world?
Yi looked at his other half, which he couldn't reconnect. Gritting his teeth, he completely split his body in two!
"Lei Xier?" Xu Xiaoshou stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman before him, still in a state of confusion. "Where's Mu Zixi?"
"You should let go of me first..." Lei Xier's gaze shifted downward, landing on Xu Xiaoshou's hand still wrapped around her waist.
Xu Xiaoshou let go as if electrocuted, yet in that instant, he felt as if he had lost something. His eyes were once again filled with demonic energy, turning black and red, and he uncontrollably roared, "I'm asking, where is Mu Zixi?!"
"Why are you being so fierce?" Lei Xier wrinkled her delicate nose, for a moment adopting a charming posture reminiscent of Mu Zixi, but soon her expression returned to indifference, and she replied, "She's asleep."
"Asleep?" Xu Xiaoshou anxiously gripped Lei Xier's shoulders again, "When will she wake up?"
Lei Xier couldn't break free from Xu Xiaoshou's powerful grip. She knew she couldn't struggle free and had no desire to resist, simply stating calmly, "Don't be impulsive. She was just injured and is temporarily asleep..."
"Then why are you out?!" Xu Xiaoshou's eyes widened in fury, interrupting her on the spot.
In his previous life, he had ended his days in a hospital ward, alone and helpless. In this life, he had finally found friends and family. Yet, one by one, they drifted away, and even his junior sister, who had accompanied him the longest, had turned into this after encountering such hardship. Xu Xiaoshou didn't like this.
Mu Zixi had changed too much. Her height had grown, her figure had improved, and even though her face hadn't changed much and her voice remained largely the same, the tone and emotions in her words were no longer those of his familiar junior sister.
Lei Xier remained silent. Watching Xu Xiaoshou's emotional changes, she could clearly sense that the person before her had been completely dominated by the demonic energy of the Divine Demonic Eyes. He had lost the resourcefulness his junior sister admired most and had become an ordinary person.
"What do you think?" Lei Xier seemed to retain Mu Zixi's straightforward manner of speaking, never beating around the bush, simply stating flatly, "She was waiting for you until the very end."
Xu Xiaoshou froze, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes reddened. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should have come earlier..."
"No need to apologize," Lei Xier shook her head. "My appearance was only a matter of time. You did nothing wrong; you've done more than enough." She glanced at Old Ancestor Wuji.
Old Ancestor Wuji, standing beside her, instantly felt a chill, knowing he had likely made a grave mistake.
Xu Xiaoshou no longer cared about any of that. He tightened his grip and anxiously asked, "So, what will it take for you to go back and let Mu Zixi come out?" He seemed to realize that his question was impolite, and he opened his mouth to explain something. Yet, ultimately, he couldn't say anything. Because no matter how he asked, that was his true intention.
Lei Xier's face paled, a flicker of pain crossing her features. Her gaze dropped to Xu Xiaoshou's hands.
Xu Xiaoshou quickly released his grip. Only then did Lei Xier say, "I am Lei Xier, and I am also Mu Zixi. She is me, and I am her. There is no distinction between us. It's just that when I was asleep, she resisted my presence. I can feel all of her emotions directly, but she—or rather, the 'me' that was her—didn't want to accept 'my' past, which led to this outcome." Lei Xier offered a faint smile, a charm akin to melting snow appearing on her face, and she softly said, "You should understand."
It wasn't that Xu Xiaoshou couldn't understand; he just couldn't accept it! Just as Mu Zixi couldn't accept that she might only be a product born from Lei Xier's self-preservation mechanism after an injury, Xu Xiaoshou also couldn't accept that his junior sister would "recover" into this state after encountering such a tribulation.
Demonic energy flared in his eyes, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "What if you disappeared?"
Lei Xier was startled. She had never imagined that after explaining so clearly, Xu Xiaoshou would still be so extreme! But as she turned her gaze and saw the surging demonic energy burning in the young man's eyes... Lei Xier understood. "You're being extreme," she said softly, her Divine Demonic Eyes swirling.
"Mmm!" Xu Xiaoshou groaned, the overwhelming demonic energy he had just absorbed was uncontrollably drawn back into the Divine Demonic Eyes.
"Watch out—" Just then, Old Ancestor Wuji suddenly roared.
Before the three could make any move, the domain's power enveloped them, directly transferring Lei Xier and Xu Xiaoshou to Yi's front.
Old Ancestor Wuji was about to offer assistance, hoping to atone for his mistakes. But the domain was Yi's after all, and with the initiative, Old Ancestor Wuji was instantly frozen in space, unable to move.
"Hahahahaha..." Old Sang, Yi's incarnation, cackled maliciously, raising his hand, which was ablaze with intense white flames.
"What a touching scene!" "However, you shouldn't have appeared. Perhaps dying directly at your master's hands is your only destiny?"
Yi had originally only intended to kill the Lei Family remnant first. But with the two of them pressed together before him, he could pierce through them both with a single hand. Why not drag the Saint Servant Xu Xiaoshou down to join them in death? Emotionally speaking, his desire to kill Xu Xiaoshou was far stronger than his desire to kill Lei Xier!
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..." Xu Xiaoshou groaned in pain. He "perceived" all of this, even knowing what would happen next, but Lei Xier's Divine Demonic Eyes were still swirling. The sheer act of drawing demonic energy already demonstrated the formidable control of the Divine Demonic Eyes to its fullest. Xu Xiaoshou couldn't even make the slightest move to turn and defend.
Lei Xier also realized something was wrong at that moment. The current situation didn't allow her to offer aid to Xu Xiaoshou, because the menacing Yi harbored intense murderous intent towards everyone present. She instantly ceased the Divine Demonic Eyes' action of drawing demonic energy. But it was too late... Even with the control severed, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't regain his movements immediately.
"He has the body of a Throne; his body is extremely sharp, and his physical defense also possesses a shock-reversal attribute, simply incomparable to ordinary people..." Lei Xier, perfectly clear-headed and rational, analyzed everything in a flash. Yi had attacked from behind Xu Xiaoshou, so if he wanted to pierce through both of them with one hand, he would have to break through Xu Xiaoshou's defense first. Lei Xier knew that Xu Xiaoshou's defense was very strong, not easily broken. Theoretically, her own physical body couldn't withstand a Void-level blow, but Xu Xiaoshou's perhaps could. Yet, despite her rationality, despite her thoughts... Lei Xier found her hands instinctively reaching out at this critical moment, gripping Xu Xiaoshou's waist from behind. Then, a massive black vine coiled out into the air and lashed. She couldn't move Xu Xiaoshou's body an inch, but she stubbornly used the momentum to swing her own body behind his...
"Splat!" A pair of charred black hands, like tearing paper, pierced through Lei Xier's back without any delay or obstruction, emerging from her chest. Then, they plunged violently into Xu Xiaoshou's chest, grasping his heart!
"Pfft..." Lei Xier immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, spitting it onto Xu Xiaoshou's face. She stood frozen in place. What her spiritual perception saw was that the surging white flames on Old Sang, Yi's incarnation, were not fake after all; his pair of charred black hands, which had pierced through both of them, stringing them together... Sleeveless Red-Charred Hands? How could he possess that?
"Xu Xiaoshou! I, Old Ancestor, am coming to save you!" Old Ancestor Wuji finally broke free from the domain's restraints. When he saw Yi's charred hands also tearing through Xu Xiaoshou's chest, his heart turned cold. With a flick of his ten fingers, heavenly mechanism patterns surged forth. "Seal!" Old Ancestor Wuji pointed, and starlight like imprinted moonlight rained down upon Yi's head, completely halting his action of crushing the heart.
"Thump-thump..." "Thump-thump..." His heart was clutched. Outside, a chaotic struggle erupted in an instant. However, within Xu Xiaoshou's world, there was only a sky-darkened sea of black spider lilies, and the void of everything delayed by time.
In the void. Suddenly, beyond the surging demonic energy before him, Lei Xier's breathtakingly beautiful and tragic blood-stained face appeared, after she had blocked a blow for him.
"Mu Zixi..." Xu Xiaoshou's face trembled as he mumbled distractedly. His mind was filled with visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, ravaged by demonic energy; he clearly couldn't think, yet tears uncontrollably streamed down his face.
The next second. At the Purple Mansion Spirit Platform, the last remaining shred of clarity was finally crushed and extinguished!
Xu Xiaoshou's gaze went past Lei Xier, settling on the familiar face of Old Sang behind her... This was Yi! Xu Xiaoshou was perplexed.
He had already suppressed the primitive, wild desire in his mind once for Mu Zixi. But why... Why was this old man... Always so noisy! Always interrupting! Always unrepentant?!
As these thoughts flickered through his mind, Xu Xiaoshou's rationality was finally completely destroyed...
This was an enemy! The ferocious, sinister, and sinisterly smiling face belonged to the one he wanted to kill more than anyone!
"You... are... asking... for... death—" Xu Xiaoshou roared furiously, his voice, deep as an abyss, turning hoarse and unrecognizable, to the point where its content couldn't even be discerned. Golden points of light suddenly burst forth from his body. Blasting Form!
With a boom. Yi, while under Old Ancestor Wuji's control, was blasted away on the spot. And Xu Xiaoshou, after doing all of this, despite his eyes being black and red and looking like a raving demon, actually regained a shred of clarity in his gaze when facing the pale face before him.
Xu Xiaoshou had long learned to control his savage beastly will under Xin Gugu's tutelage. He gently helped Lei Xier up and laid her on the ground. Then he knelt down, reached out, and gently caressed the head of the person before him, whispering into her ear while transferring life force.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." "It's alright, I'm here..."
Lei Xier was stunned, her Divine Demonic Eyes staring blankly at the young man before her, while in her mind, flickering images showed the scene Mu Zixi had most hoped to see.
"No." She pursed her lower lip and gently shook her head, knowing what Xu Xiaoshou intended to do next and trying to stop him.
Xu Xiaoshou's lips twisted, attempting a benign yet ferocious smile. Then. He took a step forward. His eyes flared wide. "ROAR—"
A beastly roar, as if to rip apart the heavens, overturned the black spider lilies spread across mountains and plains, and shattered all rules and reason into disarray. Amidst the swaying, scattered petals, brilliant golden light soared into the sky. The Berserk Giant had arrived!
"Roar, roar, roar—" Roars ravaged the heavens and earth, as the demonic energy within Xu Xiaoshou merged with the savage desire in his mind, instantly igniting all murderous intent.
"Hiss." A slight sound. The brilliantly golden Berserk Giant began to darken, slowly turning into a demonic, berserk state. Yet, under this overwhelming murderous aura, the black Berserk Giant had not moved yet. Instead, he raised his hands high towards the sky.
"Buzz!" Four swords, summoned, hummed excitedly, flying into the Berserk Giant's right hand; they had waited for this scene for too long, too long.
"Whoosh!" Within the Yuanfu, the Blazing Python stirred at the sound, entering its master's left hand for the first time, and began to participate in a true battle.
Up until this point, Yi and Old Ancestor Wuji were utterly stunned. Both stared at the unreachable black Berserk Giant, neither having imagined that the former junior Grandmaster, after transforming and coupled with that heaven-shattering aura, could possess such terrifying deterrent power.
However... There was more!
The black Berserk Giant, after gripping his twin swords, sharply bent his knees and launched himself into the air. Then, golden points of light, filling the sky, wildly exploded amidst booming sounds, pushing away wave after wave of air. Amidst this.
"Whoosh—" White flames blazed on the black Berserk Giant's body.
"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling." Beneath his feet, a gigantic ice lotus, as if capable of supporting the entire world, bloomed in rhythm with the sound.
The Berserk Giant, holding twin swords, seemed to find them too small. He squeezed them fiercely. "Buzz!" "Buzz!" The twin swords responded, rapidly expanding to match the giant's enormous size, becoming colossal swords suspended in the sky.
The giant cleaved down with his swords, and with two rumbling sounds, the powers of white flames and the ice lotus attached to him, blossoming into dazzling ice-blue and blazing white wings behind his back. Complete Form! The Twin-Winged Black Demonic Berserk Giant!
