In the Qingluan Mountains, Luanfeng knelt before her parents' graves for a long time.
Zhan Yin carefully observed Luan Feng's expression and noticed a resolute glint hidden beneath her calm demeanor. A vague unease crept into Zhan Yin's heart, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
After the worship ceremony, Luanfeng stood up and quietly looked at the scenery of Qingluan Mountain, her eyes revealing immense grief.
Zhan Yin stepped forward and said softly, "Luan Feng, let's go back."
"Wait here for me a moment. My Azure Phoenix Clan's secret chamber contains my clan's cultivation techniques, which are suitable for me to practice! I'm going to retrieve them!" Luan Feng said calmly.
"I'll go with you!"
"What? Is the God Emperor afraid I'll escape? Don't worry! My enemies are still in the temple; I will not leave!"
As Luan Feng spoke, she strode toward the secret chamber of the Azure Phoenix Clan. Zhan Yin followed her to the entrance of the chamber, but did not go any further. Instead, he frowned and waited outside the chamber.
A moment later, Luanfeng came out carrying an ancient book.
"What kind of secret manual is it?" Zhan Yin asked curiously.
"Is the God Emperor interrogating me?" Luanfeng's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhan Yin was slightly taken aback, and quickly explained, "Luan Feng, do you really have to do this?"
"Ha! It doesn't have to be that way. You help me kill Ling Yue, and we can go back to how things were before, how about it?"
Zhan Yin looked pained and shook his head: "Luan Feng, I cannot kill Ling Yue. She was entrusted with the care of the late God Emperor on his deathbed, and I cannot disobey his instructions. Moreover, even if I wanted to kill her, the gods of the divine realm would not allow it."
Luanfeng sneered, "Then we can never go back. Zhanyin, you just uphold your responsibilities and principles. I will avenge my people in my own way."
With that, Luanfeng turned and left. Zhan Yin watched her retreating figure, his heart filled with helplessness and guilt. He knew that the rift between him and Luanfeng was growing deeper and deeper, almost beyond repair.
Upon returning to the temple, Luanfeng immediately went to her chambers and began studying the forbidden ancient texts she had brought out from the secret chamber. She knew this was her only hope; only by cultivating forbidden techniques and increasing her strength could she have a chance to avenge her people.
As her cultivation deepened, Luanfeng's strength grew ever greater, but her mind was gradually corrupted by forbidden techniques. She became increasingly cold-blooded and ruthless, her heart filled only with thoughts of revenge.
Chu Wanwan noticed the change in Luanfeng and finally asked, still worried, "Luanfeng, I feel that you have changed a lot recently. I can hardly recognize you!"
"Luanfeng, you are a gentle and kind goddess. I don't want you to change because of hatred!"
Luanfeng looked at Chu Wanwan, a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes. "Wanwan, thank you for staying with me. I'm fine, it's just that after going through so much, my state of mind has inevitably changed! Don't worry, I only want to kill Lingyue! I won't harm the innocent!"
"Yes! Luanfeng, I want to leave the temple for a while. Qin Yao sent word that she has found the whereabouts of Qingzhihua, and I have to go there! You must be careful while you are alone in the palace and do not act rashly!"
Chu Wanwan looked at Luanfeng with concern and said.
"Okay! Go ahead and do your thing! I'll be fine even if I'm locked up here!"
Luanfeng nodded slightly, then saw Chu Wanwan off.
...
Days passed, and Luanfeng cultivated alone in her palace, her heart filled with hatred that swelled like a balloon, ready to burst at any moment. Meanwhile, Zhan Yin, preoccupied with his affairs and Luanfeng's refusal to let him into her palace, remained oblivious to her changes.
Three months later, demonic energy swirled above the temple. It was negative emotions drawn from the lower realm, a mixture of hatred, anger, jealousy, and other negative feelings that created a gloomy atmosphere.
The gods were all astonished, wondering where so much demonic energy had come from. Zhan Yin was also startled by this sudden turn of events. He looked at the mass of demonic energy, a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.
Meanwhile, in Luanfeng's palace, her eyes were bloodshot, and she exuded a powerful and evil aura. She had been completely corrupted by forbidden magic, and all that remained in her heart was endless hatred for Lingyue.
Her body broke through the restricted palace walls and floated in mid-air.
Countless demonic energies surged towards Luanfeng, as if finding their final destination, and frantically poured into her body. Luanfeng's aura grew stronger and more malevolent; her long hair danced wildly in the demonic energy, and her eyes revealed a chilling madness.
The gods watched in horror, realizing the situation had become extremely dangerous. Zhan Yin was especially anxious; he knew that Luan Feng was completely controlled by forbidden techniques and demonic energy, and if it wasn't stopped in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Luanfeng, what are you doing? Stop absorbing demonic energy right now, or you'll become a demon yourself!"
"Heh... So what if I become a demon to avenge my parents, brother, and clansmen? The world is so unjust! All 131 members of my Qingluan clan died tragically, and not only did no one seek justice for my clan, but you also stopped me from taking revenge myself!"
"If that's the case, then I'll become so powerful that none of you can stop me!"
As soon as Luanfeng finished speaking, even more demonic energy surged into her body. Her aura grew increasingly evil and terrifying, and the surrounding space seemed to distort and deform under her oppressive power.
"Luanfeng, stop! You can't be controlled by the demonic power!" Zhan Yin shouted, but Luanfeng seemed not to hear him. Her eyes were filled with endless hatred and madness.
As demonic energy continued to pour in, Luanfeng's body began to change. She transformed into her original form, the Azure Luan Bird, but her originally colorful feathers turned as black as ink, and her wings became even larger, radiating an eerie light.
Her power has surpassed that of most gods, making her a true demon god. A top-tier expert in the Limitless Realm.
The phoenix let out a roar that shook the entire temple. She looked at the gods, her eyes filled with contempt and murderous intent.
"Today, anyone who stands in my way shall die!" After saying this, Luanfeng flashed and flew towards Lingyue's palace.
"We can't let that witch kill the only bloodline of the former God Emperor! Chase after her!"
"Kill the witch! After her!"
The gods hurriedly gave chase, but their speed was far inferior to that of Luanfeng. Zhan Yin was filled with despair; he knew he could no longer stop Luanfeng and could only do his best to protect Lingyue.
When Luanfeng arrived at Lingyue's palace, the experts left behind by the former God Emperor immediately came to greet her. But they seemed so insignificant in front of Luanfeng; with a gentle wave of her hand, she sent them all flying.
Lingyue stared at Luanfeng in horror; she had never imagined Luanfeng would become so powerful. "Luanfeng, don't kill me! I didn't kill your people!" Lingyue cried out, begging for mercy.
But Luanfeng wouldn't listen to her explanation at all. She raised her hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow. Just then, Zhanyin arrived.
