Chu Tian hesitated; his inner struggle grew increasingly intense.
The devil's temptations unsettled him, and his mind was filled with all sorts of alluring images.
He began to ponder, considering whether he should accept this evil power.
Unbeknownst to them, the demon began to reveal Chu Tian's deepest desires and longings.
He saw himself in a powerful state, he saw Qin Ze defeated by him, and he saw Liu Ruoxin safely return to his side.
All of this seemed to be unfolding before him in a real way, causing him to struggle painfully within himself.
Chu Tian's eyes began to look confused, and his heart was wavering.
The devil's temptation plunged him into deep thought, and he began to consider whether the temptation was worth the price he was willing to pay.
Gradually, he began to gravitate towards the power of evil, as he felt its allure to fulfill his long-cherished desires.
Under the temptation of the devil, Chu Tian gradually abandoned his reason. His mind began to be gradually eroded by darkness. He no longer resisted the evil power, but began to let himself sink into temptation.
His eyes turned cold and ruthless, and his inner struggle gradually disappeared, replaced by a desire and pursuit of power.
Chu Tian's mind suddenly cleared, as if struck by a powerful force, and his consciousness returned.
He roared angrily, "Get out of my mind! I will never succumb to your temptation!"
The demon was taken aback by Chu Tian's resolute attitude. He hadn't expected Chu Tian to be able to regain his senses at such a critical moment, and his wariness of Chu Tian increased.
However, the demon did not give up. He continued to tempt Chu Tian without showing any weakness, and this time he created an even more alluring illusion for him.
In the illusion, Chu Tian became the emperor of the universe, possessing endless power and wealth. He could do whatever he wanted and control the fate of the entire universe.
In the illusion, Chu Tian felt immense satisfaction and enjoyment. He was immersed in an ocean of power and desire, gradually forgetting his original intentions and goals.
He began to enjoy everything in the illusion, forgetting all the troubles and pains of the real world.
Chu Tian's aura began to change constantly, and the demonic energy on his body became increasingly dense, as if he were being eroded by the power of darkness.
A massive black mist rose around him, gradually forming a distorted phantom—the very image of the demon.
The demon seemed to have taken control of Chu Tian's body. His eyes gleamed with wild joy as he rejoiced at finally having a powerful host. He could use this to regain his power and reclaim his rule over the world.
"Hahaha, I've finally succeeded! I've recovered! I will once again rule the world!" The demon laughed maniacally, sensing the immense potential within Chu Tian's body and filled with excitement about his impending restoration of power.
However, as he laughed wildly, a cold voice suddenly rang in his ear: "You think you've succeeded?"
The demon's body jolted violently. He turned his head and saw Chu Tian's cold eyes, which were filled with a hint of mockery and disdain.
The demon was startled. How could he not have noticed Chu Tian's counterattack?
“How could you…” the demon roared.
Chu Tian smiled and said, "You're too naive. I had already anticipated that you would use your seduction techniques on me, so I deliberately fell into it and waited to find your weakness."
The demon's expression turned ferocious. He sensed the power contained within Chu Tian's body, which was waiting for him to relax before launching a counterattack.
Chu Tian stared coldly at the demon, using his mental power to launch an attack.
"Your weakness is your arrogance and conceit. Did you think I would surrender so easily?" Chu Tian said coldly.
The demon let out a scream; he sensed the danger to his life and dared not be careless any longer.
He tried his best to resist Chu Tian's counterattack, but it was too late. Chu Tian's power had already penetrated his body, gradually dissipating his demonic energy.
The demon roared in agony, and finally turned into a cloud of black mist, disappearing into the air.
Chu Tian withdrew his power, and his eyes regained their clarity. He knew that he had just been almost controlled by the demon.
Standing still, Tian felt the power surging within his body. He discovered that his soul power seemed to have become stronger, as if he had received a strange baptism during the demon's invasion.
He took a deep breath, filled with satisfaction and joy.
The cultivation bottleneck that had been troubling him seemed to be loosening. He knew this was due to the influence of the demon's power, and he wanted to make good use of this opportunity to break through his limits and improve his strength.
Chu Tian decided to go into seclusion to cultivate. He found a secluded place, sat down, and began to meditate.
He focused his mind on his body, feeling the new power within. He began to mobilize his soul power, constantly merging it with the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).
If Qin Ze were here to see this scene, he would definitely sigh.
"As expected of the protagonist, he actually managed to run into this kind of damn luck!!!"
During this period, Qin Ze led a fulfilling yet intense life. Besides spending time with Chu Muran and gradually winning her trust and favor, he also took time to cultivate in the secret realm.
After months of unremitting efforts, Qin Ze's strength has been significantly improved.
He continuously killed magical beasts in the secret realm, absorbing their power, and his aura became increasingly solid. He had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Every battle against a monster is a challenge and test of one's own strength.
Qin Ze's swordsmanship became increasingly proficient, allowing him to easily handle various combat situations and even unleash some advanced techniques at crucial moments.
As time went by, Qin Ze's power became increasingly concentrated, and he knew that he was getting closer and closer to the legendary realm of terrestrial immortals.
He could feel an unprecedented power surging within his body, as if it might break through the shackles of his cultivation realm at any moment.
Just as Qin Ze was pondering whether he should break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, Liu Feng, the current successor of the Liu family, brought important news.
Liu Feng told Qin Ze that they had discovered a mysterious secret realm somewhere in the Himalayas.
However, the appearance of this secret realm attracted the attention of foreign forces, who dispatched a large number of experts to compete for this opportunity.
