The blood-red words carved on the arm by the dagger only lasted a moment before the wound began to heal under the power of the divine.
With the strength of a God-King, even the wounds on one's body can heal and recover unconsciously under the powerful divine force.
It can't be healed! She can't forget everything she finally managed to remember, she can't forget Xiao Xi.
Fu Lizhi repeatedly carved words on her arm, and the words healed time and time again.
She suddenly got up, went to the hall and found a bottle of unknown black powder. She poured the black powder into the wound.
Black blisters immediately appeared on the wound, and the powerful corrosive effect caused the skin on the arm to ulcerate, and the wound stopped healing.
This is a corrosive powder that can corrode everything in the world, even the divine body of a God-King. It can cause irreversible damage to the divine body, leaving wounds that cannot be repaired.
Upon seeing the clear writing on her arm, Fu Lizhi smiled briefly, but then could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by intense pain.

On her way to the Demon Realm, Ruan Xiyan kept studying alchemy.
The closer she got to the Demon Realm, the denser the demonic energy in the air became. Without Ruan Xiyan having to absorb it, the demonic energy rushed into her body, nourishing her demonic form.
Ruan Xiyan took out the Chenyue Cauldron and carefully studied how to refine Emperor-grade pills.
The room was filled with the aroma of medicinal pills. Ninth-grade pills were being refined one after another, but not a single Emperor-grade pill was produced.
Ruan Xiyan rested her chin on her hand in distress, wondering what the problem was that she couldn't break through the barrier of becoming an Emperor-grade alchemist.
Although she inherited the alchemy experience of that Emperor-grade alchemist, to become a true Emperor-grade alchemist, she must have a profound understanding and forge her own path in alchemy, only then can she stand at the pinnacle of alchemy.
"Ayan." Jun Yu carried the food and walked in. Seeing Ruan Xiyan's appearance, he comforted her, "Eat something first."
"It's not easy for an Emperor-grade alchemist to break through. Ayan doesn't need to be so tense all the time. She can relax a bit. With Ayan's intelligence, she might suddenly break through at any time."
"That's all we can do." Ruan Xiyan stretched and pulled Jun Yu to sit down beside her. Sensing the demonic energy around them, she asked, "Ayu, have we entered the Demon Realm?"
Jun Yu replied, "The Red Lotus City of the Demon Realm is just ahead. Why don't we rest there for the night? Ayan can also take this opportunity to relax."
"Moreover, Red Lotus City and Ayan have a long history together. The name was given to Ayan back then."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan felt a surge of curiosity.
Red Lotus City.
This was Fu Chishang's first time in the Demon Realm, and he was now walking openly on the streets of the Demon Realm city. He looked at Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu walking side by side ahead of him, and his feelings were somewhat complicated.
He had considered that Xiaoxi was a member of the demon race, but he never expected that she had such a close relationship with the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to openly stroll around the Demon Realm city, accompanied by the Demon Lord.
In the past, this was something Fu Chishang would never have dared to dream of, but now it was actually happening right before his eyes.
He looked at the bustling demon city, which seemed not much different from the cities managed by the gods, and was inhabited by demon people.
He disliked the gods and always kept his distance from them. He had no interest in learning about the demons, who were constantly at odds with the gods.
The information he knew about the demon race came from rumors he heard from the gods, mostly slanderous remarks about the demon race. Now that he had come to the demon realm in person, it seemed that it was not quite the demon realm he had imagined.
"Uncle." Seeing Fu Chishang looking dazed and lagging behind, Ruan Xiyan called out.
Fu Chishang quickly followed, "Xiao Xi, shall we find a place to stay first?"
“Yes, the demonic energy here is very dense. I’ve absorbed a lot of demonic power along the way, and I feel like I’m about to break through,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
"Xiao Xi is about to break through again!" Fu Chishang exclaimed in surprise. Xiao Xi's talent was too monstrous. Wasn't she always studying alchemy? Yet she was able to concentrate on cultivation and improve her strength so quickly.
“Then let’s find a quiet inn, so that no one will disturb us, which will also help Xiaoxi break through,” Fu Chishang said.
“No need to go to the inn, I know a place that’s perfect for Ayan to cultivate.” Jun Yu smiled slightly at Ruan Xiyan. “I’ll take Ayan there.”
They arrived at a courtyard in the city called Youlan Pavilion, surrounded by a tranquil bamboo forest.
"Youlan Pavilion, that name does suit this courtyard." Ruan Xiyan glanced at the locked courtyard gate and asked in confusion, "Ayu, where is this?"
Before Jun Yu could answer, a shout came from afar, "Who are you people? How many lives do you have to trespass here!"
A man dressed in gold and silver, with an extravagant air about him, walked over and said, "This courtyard is mine. If you don't want to die, get out of here."
"Heh, when did this courtyard become yours? How dare you speak so arrogantly? Do your family members know?" Jun Yu glanced at the man and said slowly.
Hearing Junyu say this, the man felt a moment of guilt; he had indeed secretly run away from home.
He had long coveted this elegant courtyard, which had been uninhabited for many years, and hoped that his father would give it to him. However, his father told him to give up the idea and stop having such thoughts.
Even though this courtyard was their family property, his father and grandfather never allowed him to set foot here, and even assigned someone to guard it.
He was itching to see the courtyard, very curious about what was inside that made his father and grandfather so interested.
Today, he finally found a reason to transfer the guards around him and was preparing to go into the courtyard to find out what was going on when he discovered that someone had gotten there first and arrived at the courtyard before him.
Thinking of his own identity, Lu Zhao straightened his back and said, "This courtyard belongs to my family. I can come and go as I please."
"On the contrary, it's the three of you who are sneaking around here. I think you have something to hide. Do you know who I am? If I told you, it would scare you to death."
“I am the young city lord of Red Lotus City. The entire Red Lotus City is under the jurisdiction of my Lu family. With one order from me, none of you will leave here alive.”
"If you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have guessed you were the young city lord. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought you were a street thug," Ruan Xiyan said calmly.
"You're mocking me!" Lu Zhao understood the implication in Ruan Xiyan's words. "I think you're tired of living."
Demonic energy appeared in Lu Zhao's hand, and he attacked Ruan Xiyan without saying a word.
"Xiao Xi, be careful." Fu Chishang stepped forward and blocked the demonic energy.
