The demon lord, Qiyue, has murdered over a million immortals and remains at large to this day.

The horrific scenes from the past flashed through Chen Yi's mind, fueling a strong killing intent towards the stone demon.

However, he is currently being tracked by Master Yuanyi and cannot show himself, so he can only think of another way to help Song Xin.

"Send the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python and the Crimson Flame Sparrow out to help her?" he murmured.

If that python and the sparrow were to join forces, they would be enough to suppress most late-stage powerful demons.

But after thinking about it, he still rejected it.

The reason is that the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python came from the Yinshan Secret Realm, and it is very likely that Master Yuanyi would recognize it.

Although the Crimson Flame Sparrow has not shown its face, it cannot help Song Xin much on its own.

"Then let's use that thing..."

Chen Yi waved his hand and threw a handful of pebbles out of the bronze mirror.

He then transmitted his voice to Song Xin: "Senior Sister Song, scatter these spirit-suppressing stones around the area."

Upon hearing this, Song Xin immediately did as instructed.

Unexpectedly, the stone demon glowed again, instantly attracting the spirit-suppressing stone to its surface.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but sneer.

"Great, great, this will make it even more effective!"

The inside of those stones that adhered to the surface of the stone demon was already covered with dense patterns.

This is an "unbreakable" restriction!

The "Unbreakable" restriction that Chen Yi possessed was not as effective as that of the Lord of the Cave Heaven.

However, after improvements, it can be effective against monsters and evil spirits.

Any species that seeks spiritual energy from the outside will be suppressed by this restriction.

"Splash!"

The large number of pebbles that had gathered on the stone demon's body seemed to have lost control and scattered all over the ground with a clatter.

It can no longer even unleash its demonic powers and can only rely on its stone body to fight against Song Xin.

"Click-click-click!"

Song Xin manipulated the magical artifact to create a flower, leaving dense wounds on the stone demon's body.

"Bang!"

The stone demon suddenly leaped up from the ground and crashed down on Song Xin.

Song Xin frantically unleashed her magic to activate the flower umbrella, constantly trying to deflect the force, but she still managed to break several ancient trees.

This stone demon's physical body is among the top-tier existences of late-stage great demons.

Ordinary flesh and blood bodies can be crushed at will!

However, physical strength and martial arts skills are Song Xin's weaknesses.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

"This stone demon is incredibly powerful."

The Crimson Dragon Mountains are home to many demon races with ancient bloodlines. These demon races' descendants are not innocent little darlings raised by any force.

Their strength was such that even the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect found it quite difficult to contend with them.

Song Xin is already a genius for being able to fight against someone of a slightly higher realm.

Even a team of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators working together might not be able to gain the upper hand against this stone demon...

Inside the Bronze Mirror Cave, Chen Yi appeared deep in thought.

If Master Yuan Yi is still lingering near the Crimson Dragon Mountains, the battle fluctuations here could easily attract people.

"We must act swiftly and decisively."

“But its defenses are just too strong; there’s no way to kill it,” Song Xin said.

Chen Yi took a deep breath. "Senior sister, help me scrape off some of its powder."

Soon, the powder scraped off the surface of the stone demon was transferred into the bronze mirror.

Based on these samples, Chen Yi immediately started a furnace to refine a beast-repelling powder to counteract this type of rock.

Within two minutes, he had transmitted the Beast-Repelling Powder to Song Xin.

The latter scattered the beast-repelling powder at the stone demon.

The stone demon immediately let out a deep, muffled roar.

The beast-repelling powder took effect on it, dissolving large areas of rock.

The smooth rock strata suddenly became pitted and uneven.

Seeing that it was effective, Song Xin immediately asked Chen Yi to bring more.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi was also working at full speed, producing packets of beast-repelling powder specifically designed to counteract this stone demon.

As a large amount of beast-repelling powder fell, the stone demon stopped moving, as if it had turned back into a giant rock devoid of any spirit.

The light patterns on it gradually dimmed.

Before it died, it looked back at the spot where it had initially been entrenched.

Song Xin looked in that direction and was surprised to see a glowing stone in the deep pit.

She looked closer and saw that the glowing stone was trying to escape.

However, this thing was only the size of a watermelon and didn't have much strength. She easily pinned it to the spot.

She raised the umbrella, tightened the umbrella, and the tip of the umbrella was like a sharp knife, which frightened the stone into trembling violently.

"No, don't kill me! I'm not on its side!"

Upon hearing the sound emanating from the stone, Song Xin was stunned.

How could a stone possess such high intelligence?

"You said you're not with them, what do you mean by that?" Song Xin asked.

“We stone demons are also divided into many varieties. The great stone demon you just killed belonged to the Taiyue lineage. As for me, I belong to the Shiji lineage.”

"I happened to pass by this place and was captured by that stone demon, who forced me to lie beneath it, trying to drain my spiritual energy..."

"Shi Guagua, thank you so much for saving my life!"

The stone demon said gratefully.

Song Xin frowned slightly, but denied it, saying, "Someone else saved you. Go and thank him!"

Shi Guagua: "???"

It clearly sensed that this person was fighting that big guy, so how could there be others?

Could it be... a ghost?

Before it could react, a bronze mirror flew in front of it, followed by a beam of light shining on it.

When it reappeared, it was already inside a grand hall.

It sensed a young figure in the hall. This person's aura was even more terrifying than that of the woman, yet it felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.

What's going on?

Have I seen this person before?

However, being as clever as it is, it has already figured out the proper boundaries for interacting with humans.

He rolled towards Chen Yi's feet and bowed deeply, saying, "Little demon Shi Guagua greets your benefactor!"

Chen Yi looked at the watermelon-shaped stone with considerable surprise.

Yes, the stone melon not only resembles an oval watermelon in shape, but even its patterns are very similar to those of a watermelon.

The only difference is its color.

In a calm state, it appears grayish-black; but when excited, it will involuntarily glow, turning into something like a piece of crystal or precious jade.

"A little demon?" Chen Yi smiled faintly. "My benefactor doesn't like demons who lie!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Guagua immediately smiled apologetically and said, "That's just polite language!"

Chen Yi stared at Shi Guagua. He was a genius at controlling beasts, so how could he not see through the other party's true nature?

This stone gourd is not a minor demon, but a great demon, a fully-fledged great demon!

This is why the other party is so intelligent.

“Your cultivation level is even higher than that of the giant stone demon. If you can’t explain why you were captured by it, I’ll throw you into the forging furnace.”

Chen Yi stared at Shi Guagua with a sly smile, looking like a villain.

Shi Guagua could only reveal the truth: "I am from the ancient Shiji lineage, and I am a mutated Moonstone species. My cultivation is merely a gift from time."

"Don't be fooled by my higher cultivation level; my combat power is practically zero. It's just that my higher cultivation level prevents it from killing me, so it's torturing me instead."

Chen Yi looked thoughtful.

Judging by its appearance, this broken rock has quite a history...

Also, moonstone, where have I seen it before?

"Who made me have the physique that stone demons envy the most? As long as they stay with me for a long time, they can enhance their potential."

Shi Guagua poured out her grievances to Chen Yi, after all, this man did make her feel inexplicably close to him.

Even the most beautiful mother stone cannot compare to this person's charm.

As for how to distinguish male from female stones, that's beyond the scope of human knowledge...

"The stone demon who kidnapped me last time has become a demon lord, I think his name was... Ji Yue?"
