"Senior!" Qin An stretched out a hand, but only grasped the remaining demonic energy in the air.

After spending this short time together, Qin An felt that Senior Heavenly Demon was a very simple and honest person, and they got along very well. But now that Senior Heavenly Demon is gone, Qin An feels that long-lost loneliness again.

"Master." At this moment, the voice of Bloodthirsty rang in his mind.

Qin An then realized that Shi Xue hadn't said a word since the appearance of Senior Tianmo.

"Why are you only coming to find me now? Why didn't you say anything before?"

"Well, well, I was just afraid of disturbing your conversation, so I won't say anything!" Shi Xue said somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh." Qin An didn't dwell on Bloodthirsty's somewhat cowardly behavior, but instead asked, "What do you want from me now?"

"Um, Master, didn't you get the Divine Sword Essence before? Can I use it now?" Bloodthirst asked expectantly.

"You mean this?" Qin An took out the Divine Sword Essence from his storage bag.

"Yes, yes, this is it!" Bloodthirsty jumped up and down excitedly.

"Here, take it and use it!" Qin An handed the Divine Sword Essence to Bloodthirst.

"Thank you, Master!" Bloodthirst excitedly hugged the Divine Sword Marrow and began to absorb it.

Qin An continued to sit cross-legged, fully activating the "Qian Yuan Demon Art" to absorb the pure demonic energy left in the air by the Heavenly Demon Senior.

After a period of cultivation, Qin An's demonic cultivation level successfully reached the Golden Core stage, which was equivalent to his spiritual power cultivation level.

At this moment, he also completely consumed the pure demonic energy left behind by the Heavenly Demon Senior.

The Bloodthirsty Sword had already absorbed the essence of the divine sword and had now transformed into a little boy.

The little boy formed from the bloodthirsty transformation bore a striking resemblance to Qin An. He had large, almond-shaped eyes, long, fluttering eyelashes, and a chubby face, making him incredibly adorable.

"Master, what should we do next?" Shi Xue asked Qin An, who was sitting to the side.

"Let's not rush out yet. Senior Tianmo told me that he left a treasure for me here, and I'm going to go find it now." After saying that, Qin An stood up and walked into the depths of the space.

"I'll go too!" Shi Xue said, taking off with his short legs and running after Qin An.

Qin An traveled a long way before finally arriving at the place the Heavenly Demon had described. There, he saw a box. Qin An walked up to the box and reached out to touch it.

The box automatically absorbed a drop of Qin An's blood and then slowly opened.

According to the Heavenly Demon Elder, only those who have practiced the "Qian Yuan Demon Art" can open this box, and the blood absorbed by the box contains the aura of the "Qian Yuan Demon Art," so it automatically recognized it.

Inside the box was an unidentified flower, its entire body a deep purple, radiating a captivating glow.

"This is! The Netherworld Flower!" The Bloodthirsty One, who arrived shortly after, recognized the flower at a glance and was quite surprised.

"Netherworld Flower?" Qin An asked, sounding puzzled. He was unfamiliar with the Netherworld Flower.

"Yes, the Netherworld Flower! The Netherworld Flower is a rare treasure; it can greatly enhance a person's strength. Even more valuable is that those who absorb the Netherworld Flower can glimpse a sliver of heavenly secrets and see glimpses of the future." Bloodthirst was extremely excited at this moment. "Master, you've struck gold this time! You actually obtained such a treasure!"

"Hmm." Qin An took off the Netherworld Flower, swallowed it in one gulp, then sat cross-legged and began to absorb the power of the Netherworld Flower.

As Qin An absorbed the Netherworld Flower, his cultivation level rose steadily at a visible pace. Early Golden Core stage, mid-Golden Core stage, late-Golden Core stage, peak Golden Core stage…

At this moment, Qin An was overwhelmed by the visual impact of the Netherworld Flower.

Qin An found himself in a void, surrounded by silent darkness. Apart from himself, he could not sense any person or thing.

After a while, a white spot suddenly appeared in this void. Then, this white spot slowly expanded and finally began to have color. The surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.

Qin An found himself in a large courtyard, where a young woman was holding a baby, her face full of sorrow.

That's—my mother!

Qin An recognized his mother at a glance. At that time, his mother was still very delicate and there was not a trace of hard work on her body.

Immediately afterwards, the screen began to move at high speed.

Qin An watched helplessly as his mother was driven out of her family and sold to a slave owner by human traffickers, becoming a slave.

The baby grew up, stumbling and falling, and was bullied by others from a young age. He dared not fight back because his mother told him to learn to endure. As a result, those people treated him even worse.

Later, the scene returned to the moment when the mother was beaten to death.

When Qin An saw his mother being beaten to death, he rushed forward in a rage, wanting to stop the villains. But he watched helplessly as his hands passed right through his mother's body. Only then did Qin An realize that all of this was a scene shown to him by the Netherworld Flower, and it could not be changed.

Thus, Qin An watched helplessly as the young Qin An was dragged from under his dead mother by those thugs and then sold off.

Those thugs sold "him" to another master, who treated "him" very badly, often beating and scolding him, not giving him food, and sometimes even torturing him.

Later, Qin An saw the young "him" run out of the mountain, wanting to escape this hell on earth.

Unexpectedly, the young "he" could not escape the master's pursuit and was captured again by the servants, and then beaten half to death by the master.

Seeing this, Qin An felt that something was wrong; things shouldn't be like this. Where was his master? Where was his master brother?

Then, the scene sped up again.

Qin An watched helplessly as the young "him" was beaten, scorned, and sold to one master after another, enduring one hell on earth after another.

Finally, Qin An saw that the young "him" had grown up.

One day, "he" finally escaped from that group of people and began his life as a vagrant. Because he had no money to buy food, "he" learned to steal and rob.

He drifted all the way to the Demon Realm, where he was spotted by a demon general and began to cultivate the demon's techniques.

His talent was quite remarkable, and he progressed rapidly in cultivating the demonic techniques. His cultivation level broke through the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul stage, the Deity Transformation stage, and finally reached the Integration stage.

His position also rose steadily, from the lowest-ranking demon soldier to a demon junior general, then to a demon general, and finally to a position below the Demon Lord.

Later, it was unexpectedly discovered that "he" was of the Demon Lord's bloodline and inherited the Demon Lord's position.

The scene sped up again, and he saw Ye Feiyu pointing a sword at him, saying something. Then, Ye Feiyu thrust his sword into "him," and "he" died.

No, this isn't right! It's not like that!
