The moonlight, like a red veil, enveloped the earth.
On this desolate land, a red figure appeared. It was a young girl, her long, jet-black hair flowing freely without any adornment. Her skin was as white as snow, her beauty exquisite, and her blood-red eyes coldly gazed at the demons impaled by tentacles. The wind billowed her dress, and her gaze fixed on the Never-Sleeping Palace ahead.
Then she transformed into a streak of light and landed in the Palace of Eternal Night.
Chihiro arrived at a plaza, where she saw countless tentacles, like black pythons, tightly coiled around a man. The man, dressed in a magnificent robe, had a once dignified face now filled with fear. He had lost consciousness, and the tentacles were burrowing into his body, frantically absorbing his cultivation.
This man is the Netherworld Emperor.
As she released her divine sense, Qianxun saw Ruji and the Evil Moon Saintess again. Like the Nine Netherworld Emperor, they had become Lou Munan's furnace, their bodies pierced by countless tentacles, hanging high in the air, both filled with resentment and fear. They weren't quite dead yet, but Qianxun had no intention of saving them.
Chihiro walked barefoot, step by step, deeper into the Palace of Never Sleeps.
The entire Palace of Never Sleeps was covered by a thorny black substance that could change into various forms: sometimes thorns, sometimes tentacles, sometimes a puddle of water, sometimes writhing chunks of flesh, and sometimes something else entirely.
She walked forward step by step, and neither the thorns nor the tentacles in front of her hindered her, allowing her to approach the center of the Palace of Eternal Night.
Chihiro's power comes from Lou Munan. She carries Lou Munan's aura and the power she obtained from him. These dark, unknown substances treat her as one of their own and do not attack her.
Therefore, she arrived at Lou Munan's location without any problems.
The hall was filled with writhing chunks of flesh. In the pitch-black mist, Lou Munan lay asleep, with countless tentacles growing from his back. The surrounding flesh was fused together with his lower body and the tentacles growing from his back. Lou Munan was absorbing the power of all the creatures in the Demon Realm while suppressing Xu Fengzhi.
Chihiro stepped barefoot onto the writhing mass of flesh. Hands reached out from the flesh beneath her feet and grabbed her fair ankles. Chihiro stopped in her tracks.
Lou Munan, shrouded in black mist, opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was like cold lightning.
Upon seeing Chihiro, a dangerous yet alluring smile appeared on his face: "Chihiro, it's you..."
"It's me," Chihiro said calmly, her beautiful face expressionless.
"What are you doing here?" Lou Munan asked.
Qianxun looked at Lou Munan, and many parts of the surrounding flesh bulged up, and then human faces emerged, these faces looking exactly like Lou Munan's.
At first, they only had a face, which then manifested as a head, followed by a body. They were naked from the waist up, while their lower bodies were attached to the flesh covering the entire hall. Their eyes were fixed on Chihiro, filled with aggression, as if they wanted to tear Chihiro to pieces immediately, or as if they wanted to violate and ravage her.
Qianxun glanced at the guys who looked exactly like Lou Munan. They seemed to be Lou Munan's clones, but Qianxun knew that Lou Munan had a psychological aversion to clones, and he would never create clones. These guys who looked like his clones were actually all part of his physical body. The flesh and blood covering the entire hall were all part of his body.
She looked at Lou Munan and asked, "Are you injured?"
The Lou Munan in the black mist remained silent. Two Lou Munans that had grown out of the flesh next to her moved closer. Their lower bodies stretched out like snakes, their long torsos connected to the flesh. Their upper bodies were naked, and their jet-black hair hung down behind them. One was on Qianxun's left, and the other was on Qianxun's right.
The one on the left brushed a strand of Chihiro's long hair aside: "Yes, I'm injured. Does it hurt your heart?"
The one on the right sniffed her: "You have a smell I don't like. What did you do?"
The hands that emerged from the flesh beneath Chihiro's feet grabbed her ankles and kept groping her legs.
Qianxun looked at Lou Munan in the black mist, her eyes suddenly turning cold, revealing her murderous intent.
Red lightning crackled around her, terrifyingly powerful, its violent force instantly obliterating the hands that had been touching her legs, as well as the two Lou Munans who had approached her, reducing them to fragments. She grabbed at them, and the Thunder Emperor Sword appeared in her right hand. Her eyes were filled with hatred, which transformed into her power, and she thrust the sword towards Lou Munan.
Countless tentacles surged toward her, but before they could even touch her, they were all crushed into ashes by the blinding red light emanating from her body. The black mist surrounding Lou Munan also tried to stop her, transforming into a terrifying giant python, but it failed to stop her either.
The Thunder Emperor gifted her eight cultivation furnaces, eight furnaces at the Immortal Emperor level, using a special method of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin, and a special sacrifice, which elevated her cultivation to a terrifying level.
Lou Munan was currently suppressing Xu Fengzhi. Although he had anticipated what Qianxun would do, he underestimated Qianxun's strength.
Yes, Chihiro would betray him; he had long anticipated that.
He knew Qianxun hated him intensely; she loathed everything. But what Qianxun thought was utterly irrelevant to him. He didn't care whether she was happy or not, whether she loved him or hated him. In Lou Munan's eyes, Qianxun was merely his puppet, a tool for his sexual gratification. He kept her around only to provide him with amusement.
He even liked the way she hated him, yet couldn't get rid of him, couldn't resist him, and could only endure it silently.
He never considered Chihiro an enemy or rival, because she was not worthy of it.
He never thought that Chihiro could be any obstacle to him, and he didn't believe she could escape his control.
But when the Thunder Emperor Sword pierced his heart, he admitted that he had been careless.
The moment the Thunder Emperor Sword pierced Lou Munan's heart, all the terrifying power contained within the sword surged into Lou Munan's body.
Lou Munan roared, and the terrifying magic power that erupted from his body instantly sent Qianxun flying. Qianxun spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately countless chunks of flesh surged toward her. These chunks of flesh transformed into tentacles, trying to pierce her body, grab her, and turn her into Lou Munan's furnace.
Chihiro snorted coldly, and a red sword appeared in her hand—a magical artifact transformed from the primordial spider lily. With a swing of the sword, terrifying sword energy transformed into a storm, instantly destroying the entire Nightless Palace.
