The crimson petals surged towards A Yao like a blood tide, trying to engulf her. Golden phoenix totems flashed in A Yao's eyes, and terrifying phoenix fire erupted from her body, burning all the eerie red spider lilies to ashes.
Qianxun instantly stepped forward and thrust her sword at Ayao.
With a flick of her wrist, a long sword appeared in her hand. She engaged in close combat with her clone.
On the other side, the battle between Lou Munan and the Lord of the Black Nest was even more intense. The Black Nest completely collapsed, turning into a huge cage that trapped Lou Munan inside. Countless sealed objects in the Black Nest poured out at this moment, turning into terrifying shadows that attacked Lou Munan.
That is a power capable of instantly killing an Immortal Emperor.
But Lou Munan showed no sign of tension. The red light emanating from his body shattered all the approaching shadows.
He looked at the Lord of the Black Nest and said mockingly, "Weren't you hiding from me all this time? Why do you suddenly dare to show yourself now? Were you bewitched by that little girl? What kind of spell did she cast on you to make you willingly come here to die?"
The Lord of the Black Nest remained silent. From within the shadows, countless rainbow-like crystals appeared, transforming into a gigantic nine-headed beast that lunged at Lou Munan.
Lou Munan simply flicked his finger, and the nine-headed beast vanished into thin air in a beam of light shot from his fingertip. However, even more ferocious beasts attacked, and various shadowy figures surged with murderous intent.
"You guys are really stupid. You know you're no match for her, but you still want to die for a woman. But that's even better for me. I want to see how much power Xu Fengzhi has left in you."
Countless spatial rifts appeared behind Lou Munan. These rifts were hundreds or thousands of feet long. After they tore open, they turned into huge mouths with sharp teeth. The mouths were filled with a viscous, dark blue substance. With a suck, these mouths sucked in all the shadows and even swallowed the giant beasts formed from crystals.
Lou Munan's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the Lord of the Black Nest.
He raised his hand and slapped the ground.
The palm print landed on the back of the Black Nest Lord.
Bang! The Black Nest Lord, struck by this blow, was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the Black Nest and causing cracks to appear in the structure. Blood gushed from the Black Nest Lord's mouth.
Lou Munan wore a sinister smile, and a long sword had appeared in his hand.
With a swing of his longsword, a crimson sword light slashed towards the Lord of the Black Nest. The Lord of the Black Nest unleashed bolts of lightning from his eyes, and a golden thunderstorm descended upon the entire Black Nest. Then, the world around him changed once more; his figure vanished, and the surroundings transformed into a universe filled with colorful stars.
Above this vast universe was a pitch-black figure, a figure larger than the entire universe itself. The universe was merely the palm of this figure's hand.
The figure had no specific facial features; the whole person seemed to be a mass of gray-black light, supporting the wide robe.
The universe is in his palm.
The stars floating in the universe are tiny, and Lou Munan's figure is even smaller than a speck of dust.
Lou Munan, smaller than a speck of dust, merely chuckled softly, and with a swift stroke of his longsword, the sword light tore through the entire universe—
————
"After you were kidnapped by Lou Munan, I looked for you, but I couldn't sense where you were?"
As Ayao dodged Qianxun's sword, she spoke.
"What exactly did Lou Munan do to you?"
"Further words are pointless!"
boom!
Chihiro's sword energy transformed into a sky full of red spider lilies, and golden phoenix wings appeared behind Ayao. As she spread her wings, countless runes emerged, turning into a fire storm that burned all the red spider lilies to ashes.
“If you don’t want to continue being my clone, I won’t force you. But you and Lou Munan are definitely not a good choice. He’s long since lost his humanity,” Ayao advised.
Chihiro remained silent, her expression cold. Ayao swung her sword, and golden phoenixes emerged from the flames. Hundreds of millions of red spider lilies appeared before Chihiro, coalescing into a giant shield that blocked Ayao's attack.
Rumble—
In this chaotic world, corpses flew everywhere, blood splattered, and flower petals burned to ashes. Seeing that Chihiro wouldn't listen to her pleas, A-Yao used the power of the Reincarnation Bead to freeze time in Chihiro's body. Unable to move, Chihiro felt the stagnation of time, her face showing shock. A-Yao, in this frozen world, flew towards her.
She stretched out one hand and touched Chihiro's forehead with her finger.
She wanted to know what had happened to her clone.
The moment her fingers touched Qianxun's brow, countless black energies surged out of Qianxun's body. These dark energies, condensed from the black energy, were like countless tiny venomous snakes that burrowed into Ayao's fingers from the point of contact, frantically trying to erode her entire body along Ayao's palms, wrists, and arms.
A Yao's face showed horror. Without hesitation, she chopped off her left hand with a sword.
His entire arm fell to the ground.
Blood gushed out.
In that instant, Chihiro broke free from the constraints of time and thrust her sword towards Ayao.
The one-armed Ayao retreated rapidly, covering a distance of a thousand miles.
Golden light surged from her severed arm, and a new arm grew. Before the arm was fully healed, the enormous skeletons in the sky surged toward her.
A Yao's eyes turned cold, and a huge nine-colored phoenix phantom appeared behind her. This phoenix was enormous, and the moment it spread its wings, its entire body burst forth with dazzling light. This light carried a holy power to suppress evil, and it shattered all the approaching undead.
"See that? The moment you touch me, you'll be corrupted by the power of darkness. Even if you wanted to take me back now, it wouldn't be impossible." Chihiro stood aloof and beautiful on the high place.
“I just wanted to see your memories,” Ayao explained.
"So what if you know?" Chihiro asked.
“You are my alter ego, so I need to know what you went through to become the way you are now,” Ayao said.
“Yes, I used to be your clone. But now, I have a new name, I am called Qianxun, and I am no longer your clone. Just like Lou Munan and Xu Fengzhi, once a clone has its own personality, then the clone and the original can only be locked in a life-or-death struggle,” Qianxun said.
"Is this Lou Munan's purpose? Because his clone betrayed him, he had you seduced and tempted to betray him?" Ayao said.
"What he thinks is no longer important. What's important is that I am now Chihiro. I have become a demon, do you still want to save me?" Chihiro said sarcastically.
