For Shi Feiyang, that "crossing" during the last calamity, if he had relied on his Technique Divine Power to do whatever he pleased on Earth, he would have inevitably sunk into the Demon Realm. Not only would his Primordial Spirit have been immersed in the Demon Realm, unable to extricate itself, but his physical body on the outside would also enter a state of Deviation, with his True Qi in disarray and his Essence Blood surging chaotically.

Either he would die at the hands of Elder Kuzhu, who awaited him after he broke out of the formation and rushed into the grand hall,

Or even if he managed to awaken once more, his bones and meridians would have grown abnormally, never achieving the True Dragon Body, and his Lifebound Embryo would naturally be incapable of cultivation, thoroughly ruining his Dao Foundation. No matter how high his Mana was in this life, he would not be able to become an Earth Immortal. To achieve something, he would only be able to endure another tribulation.

It was precisely because he had successfully passed through that twelve-year Demon Realm with upright heart and spirit that he was able to cultivate his Primordial Embryo in one fell swoop and step into— Nascent Soul Early Stage?

Now that he had reached the Divine Demon Realm of Zhuanlun Temple, this same scene was being recreated.

But the Demon Realm from the last calamity was naturally formed by the resonance between his own fragmented memories, obsessions, and the Taoist Body of heaven and earth. The current one was pieced together by a Divine Demon probing into parts of Shi Feiyang's memory fragments, and the realism and size of the space were vastly different.

Shi Feiyang watched as "himself", suddenly opened bloodshot eyes while receiving CPR from a teacher, hugged the invigilator tightly and savagely bit down on the neck, severing the carotid artery to drink the blood voraciously; after killing the person, he tossed the body aside and then pounced toward the other students and teachers.

"His own self" went on to kill seven people, drank copious amounts of fresh blood, his face was hideously twisted, his clothes stained with blood, and a red Demon Light surged around his body.

Suddenly, he spotted Shi Feiyang, his features distorted, and with a gaping, blood-red mouth showing his teeth, he lunged at Shi Feiyang.

Facing this version of "himself", Shi Feiyang's heart was devoid of ripples. He used the Three Lights Tribulation Transformation Method, leaving behind a clone formed from sunlight at his original spot. His true body teleported behind "himself", right hand forming fingers to flick, sending out Twelve Points of Immortal Fire— six points white with a hint of green, and six points white with a hint of purple, striking "himself's" spinal column at the back from "Upper Vertebra" down to "Tail Vertebra".

As the Immortal Fire flew and seeped into the spine, "himself's" movements began to slow. He roared frenziedly as his neck twisted a full one hundred eighty degrees, teeth covered in fresh blood, glaring at Shi Feiyang.

This Immortal Fire was Shi Feiyang's foundation for the Three Flowers atop his head in the future, with the purest and most abundant Yang energy.

With his left hand forming a Spiritual Formula and his right hand pointing forward, flames blazed from within, shooting out of "his own" seven orifices and facial features.

"Ah!"

"His own self" howled viciously and mournfully within the blaze, struggling ceaselessly to shake off the Immortal Fire.

Shi Feiyang formed spiritual formulas with his hands from a distance, continuously channeling Mana, observing the face identical to his own contort and twitch, a body that seemed carved from the same mould as his own struggling and flipping within the flames. He spoke indifferently, "You've been clever, but outsmarted by your cleverness. If you had just dueled with me properly, it would take me a lot of effort to subdue you.

Yet you insisted on using the Demon Realm to confuse my Dao heart, not knowing that my Immortal Fire specializes in refining demons. It wouldn't take more than a moment to burn you to ashes! However, this might also be a stroke of luck in misfortune for you. Abandon that One Light old demon, submit to my teaching from now on, at my beck and call, and I shall spare your life. How about that?"

The Demon still struggled hard. He found it odd, being a Divine Demon nurtured by the One Light Master for a thousand years; he had encountered every kind of fire—Demon Fire and Immortal Fire, Yin Fire and Yang Fire. Even if they could hurt him, it was very limited, and if he couldn't withstand them, he could still flee. As a Divine Demon, he was free to come and go as he pleased, merging and scattering at will.

Yet this Twelve Points of Flame that entered his body burned fiercely from the inside out, inflicting unbearable pain. He felt like a snowman being roasted by a big flame, about to melt away. He was aware that Shi Feiyang wasn't just threatening him; he really wouldn't take long to be completely refined, body and soul destroyed.

He couldn't endure it, nor could he run— the flames burning both inside and out. He couldn't fly, nor could he disperse his body or turn into a Demon Light and fly away.

Enduring the pain, he spoke to Shi Feiyang, "I have sworn an oath to my master's Lifebound Divine Demon to be loyal to him alone. He can easily influence my mind and thoughts. I can't possibly betray him."

Shi Feiyang replied, "You don't need to worry about him. As long as you agree to be loyal to me from now on, I will take care of the rest. As for the oath, once he's dead, won't it be broken?"

The Demon shook his head, "It's impossible. He controls my thoughts. I cannot possibly pledge my loyalty to you."

"He's about to deviate and doesn't even have the time to concentrate and regulate his Qi, let alone distract himself to care about you. Just say if you yourself truly wish to or not?" Seeing the Divine Demon still hesitating, Shi Feiyang's face darkened, "Quick! Do you wish to or not? If not, I'll refine you!"

"I... I wish to!" The Divine Demon tried to voice his defiance against One Light Master's will and found that the latter did not remotely feed him will and thoughts. He was greatly surprised, thinking perhaps his master was indeed on the verge of Deviation just as the young man had said.

Shi Feiyang, seeing his agreement, said: "First, spit out the Primordial Spirit of the person you just swallowed into your stomach for me!"

The Divine Demon did as told and spat out Huan Yu's Primordial Spirit, standing there in a daze, motionless; without anyone's intervention, he would stand until the end of time.

Shi Feiyang took out a gourd and opened its stopper, pointing it at him, "Get in!"

The Demon, having no choice, obediently flew into the gourd.

No sooner had he entered than the Divine Demon wanted to come out, "The fire inside here is fierce! Are you trying to completely refine me?"

Shi Feiyang withdrew the twelve points of flame from his body, covered the gourd with the stopper, "If you stay in the middle of the gourd, you won't get burned. This gourd is prepared for you Divine Demons. Do I need to go through so much trouble to refine you? Just stay inside quietly, and wait for me to slay that Old Demon Yideng before I deal with you."

The inner wall of his Demon Suppression Gourd was engraved with Circulation Divine Talismans, with Immortal Fire burning inside. The Demon could only hover in the center of the gourd; it was fine if he didn't attempt to escape, but if he tried to cast an escape skill, he would be immediately burned by the fire.

Once the Divine Demon was trapped inside the gourd and cut off from the external Demonic Qi, his Demon Formation illusion began to crumble.

They stood in the midst of a splendid Demon Palace, surrounded by over a hundred Barbarian Monks and the Demon Human, Bai Hong, from the twin-body sect that appeared earlier.

With the Demon Formation gone, both sides were surprised to see each other. Su Xianxiang, catching sight of Huan Yu's Primordial Spirit lodged in place, hurriedly grabbed it and slapped it back into Huan Yu's physical body.

"Everybody attack together, kill them!" the leading Barbarian Monk shouted loudly, brandishing a golden Precepts Blade.

Shi Feiyang said to Su Xianxiang, "I'll leave these to you; I'm going to check elsewhere!" Having said that, he vanished with a flick of his body.

The left-behind Su Xianxiang, supporting the unconscious Huan Yu with his left hand and manipulating the Gold and Silver Sand Sword with his right hand, sent forth billowing waves of gold and silver light that engulfed all the enemies in its tide!

Shi Feiyang gazed toward the top of the mountain, where Huo Wuhai was furiously unleashing an enormous amount of True Sun Fire downward. Assuming that the Four Women of Wudang were safe for the time being, he turned and flew north.

In the north, the Divine Demon had set up an endlessly burning Demon Yin world that targeted the Five Aggregates of humans—form, feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness, encompassing everything from the physical to the spiritual aspects of a person.

If an outsider from a heretical sect had come, they would surely have been exploited by the Five Elements Yin Demon at their weakest point, leading them into the Demon Path.

However, the people Shi Feiyang chose were particularly strong. Zhang Jinwen, Kong Lingxiao, and Lin Luhua were among the most esteemed disciples of the semi-ascetic old nun, possessing the strengths of both the Kunlun and Wudang sects. They were cultivators of many lifetimes with high Dao levels and strong mana, and their wills were incredibly steadfast.

Lin Luhua was originally the daughter of Ling Hun and Cui Wugu, named Ling Luhua. She was harmed by the Yin Yang Elder, fell in love with Cui Wu's son, and carelessly destroyed her Dao Foundation. Ling Hun deemed her Dao heart impure and her association with men disgraceful to the family. He almost killed her to preserve the family's honor until the semi-ascetic old nun took her in and she entered the Mysterious Sect of Wudang. After rebirth, she was renamed Lin Luhua.

It was because of this daughter that Cui Wugu's hair turned white overnight, earning her the nickname "White-haired Dragon Girl."

Lin Luhua had already passed the emotional tribulation once. With excellent meridian foundations and additional cultivation of powerful spells taught by her mother, on top of the strengths of the Wudang and Kunlun sects, she was formidable. Zhang Jinwen and Kong Lingxiao were even stronger, carrying several powerful Magical Treasures given by the half-ascetic old nun. The three fairies advanced and retreated together, breaking through the illusions of the Divine Demon. By the time Shi Feiyang arrived, the two sides were in the midst of a fierce battle.

Three fairies with billowing sleeves wielded their Flying Sword Magical Treasures, fighting one Divine Demon and over a hundred Barbarian Monks, having already killed more than thirty.

The Divine Demon had taken the form of a handsome young man, none other than Cui Wu's son, Cui Qing. After making a grave mistake in the past, he attempted to end his life. Lin Luhua wept over his body, which was witnessed by Ling Hun. Enraged, he completely disowned his daughter.

This was a part of Lin Luhua's inner demon. When the Demon took on that appearance, he planned to exploit her weakest point.

Lin Luhua almost fell for it, saved only by her meticulous and diligent cultivation and the care of her two older martial sisters, just barely managing to survive and break through the Demon Realm.

Shi Feiyang ignored everything else, focusing only on capturing the Divine Demons. All four could substitute for One Light Master in facing the tribulation. They had to be captured or annihilated to ultimately kill One Light Master.

He moved invisibly, positioning himself above the Divine Demon. Despite Shi Feiyang's refined Escape Skill, the Demon sensed him. Just as he looked up, Shi Feiyang had already unleashed the Three Yangs One Qi Sword. The stroke was swift and urgent, like a colorful lightning bolt cleaving through heaven and earth.

With a single strike, he split the Demon open, then with three more slashes turned him into pieces, dissolving into a cloud of Demon Light.

Although the sword attack was fierce, it couldn't cause substantial harm to the Divine Demon.

The Demon used the Demon Light to surge forth, attempting to fly away and reconstitute his form. Shi Feiyang released those twelve points of Immortal Fire into the Demon Light. The Demon emitted a piercing scream so agonizing that it made listeners' noses twinge and their bodies uncomfortable, causing the nearby Barbarian Monks to shed tears in distress.
