After listening to Luo Shu’s explanation, Ye Yu’s heart suddenly sank.
The original three year deadline had dwindled down to less than three days now?
How could that possibly be acceptable?
Ye Yu clenched his fists tightly and hurriedly asked, “You said before that once I reached the Ancient God Realm, you’d let me enter and eliminate her obsession. I’ve already stepped into the Gold God Realm now. Can I try?”
“The hell do you mean gold—wait, you’re really in the Gold God Realm?”
Luo Shu’s eyes widened uncontrollably.
Only now did he finally realize that Ye Yu had truly entered the initial stage of the Gold God Realm.
Such cultivation speed was practically unprecedented throughout all eternity.
Brother, are you cheating?
Seeing that Luo Shu did not respond immediately, Ye Yu quickly pressed again, “Talk! Is the Gold God Realm enough or not?”
“In theory, no. But if your divine soul is stable enough and your willpower strong enough, you can try. However, there are risks. At any moment, you could be invaded by the obsession of the Desire Demon.
I strongly advise against it.”
Luo Shu’s expression became extremely grave.
But Ye Yu did not listen to the warning at all.
“As long as there’s even the slightest hope, I’ll try!”
There was no way he could stand by and watch Liu Yuenong sink forever into ruin. Without hesitation, he strode toward the distorted space ahead.
Luo Shu watched Ye Yu’s back with an extremely complicated expression.
Very quickly, Ye Yu arrived at the edge of the distorted space.
A cold and violent aura rushed toward him head on, as though it were a warning itself.
But Ye Yu still resolutely took another step forward.
A ripple-like barrier instantly passed through his entire body.
It felt as though Ye Yu had stepped into a world of darkness.
Strangely enough, when viewed from the outside, there had clearly been many corpses of the God Clan scattered around.
But after truly entering this distorted space, he discovered that there seemed to be nothing inside at all.
The surrounding space remained twisted, while the darkness ahead only deepened further.
Ye Yu had intended to continue exploring forward when he suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation of divine power.
He immediately stopped and turned to look to his left.
Within the distorted space, a hunched old woman slowly emerged.
The demonic horns atop her head proved her identity as a demon god.
Though her steps were unsteady, the terrifying divine power radiating from her body was enough to prove that she was a peak Ancient God Realm expert.
“You’ve managed to walk this far without being affected by desire or obsession. You don’t seem like an ordinary Gold God Realm cultivator.”
Ye Yu did not answer her question. Instead, he stared coldly at the old woman before him.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
“My name... I’ll need to think carefully about it. It’s been so long since anyone remembered it.
I think it was... Bai Ni.”
The old woman’s voice was soft, yet it instantly made Ye Yu raise his guard to the highest level.
As someone who had extensively studied the records within the Tongtian Pavilion library, Ye Yu was extremely familiar with the history of the Demon Race.
Back when Tongtian Pavilion had first been established, many astonishing geniuses had appeared within it.
They were elites in their respective fields, some even founding entirely new schools of thought.
Among them was the name Bai Ni.
Her true form had been a Fallen Demon, yet she possessed extraordinary research into Heart Demons and Desire Demons.
She had transformed her blessed land into a massive laboratory.
Every day, she hid inside conducting bizarre experiments.
Later on, members of Tongtian Pavilion began disappearing without reason, and the targets were all Heart Demons and Desire Demons.
Before long, suspicion fell upon Bai Ni.
People immediately stormed into her blessed land to investigate.
On the spot, they discovered more than ten corpses of Heart Demons.
At the time, slaughtering one’s own kind within Tongtian Pavilion had been considered a grave crime.
However, considering that Bai Ni had been one of Tongtian Pavilion’s elders and had made enormous contributions during the founding of the Divine Alliance, she was spared the death penalty.
Instead, she was sentenced to ten thousand years of punishment within the Divine Flame Mausoleum as atonement.
On the surface, Bai Ni agreed to the punishment.
But before the sentence could be carried out, she directly fled.
From that moment onward, she vanished without a trace, and the God Clan of Tongtian Pavilion never found her again.
The upper ranks of the Divine Alliance had been furious over the matter, yet there was nothing they could do.
As for the experiments Bai Ni had conducted?
Tongtian Pavilion had broadly split into two factions regarding the matter.
One side believed Bai Ni was simply an evil cultivator using twisted methods to conduct cruel experiments.
The other side believed her actions had been for the sake of researching entirely new divine arts.
And that some sacrifices had been unavoidable.
Which side had been correct remained unanswered to this day.
Because none of them had ever understood what Bai Ni had truly been trying to accomplish.
But one thing was certain.
This was absolutely the kind of experiment that required sacrifices.
Ye Yu truly had not expected to encounter Bai Ni here.
Damn it, had she set her sights on Liu Yuenong?
The possibility was extremely high, because Liu Yuenong was a Desire Demon.
Exactly the kind of experimental subject Bai Ni loved most.
At that thought, Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned ice cold.
Every change in his expression was fully noticed by Bai Ni.
“So, brat, you’ve heard of me before?”
Ye Yu nodded and pointed toward the deepest part of the distorted space.
“My Dao companion is inside. Leave immediately, or you’ll die.”
Hearing this, Bai Ni seemed to hear the greatest joke in the world.
She laughed so hard her hunched body bent even further over.
At that moment, she looked no different from an ordinary old woman from the Mortal Realm.
“You want me to leave? A mere Gold God Realm cultivator... what exactly are you relying on?”
Bai Ni’s expression suddenly changed as she pointed behind herself toward the distorted space.
“I don’t care who she is to you. Right now, she is my finest masterpiece!
A goddess on the verge of being completely devoured by desire and obsession.
Do you know how much effort I’ve put into accelerating her fall?”
The moment her words fell, Bai Ni suddenly stomped her foot.
An enormous mysterious formation instantly appeared beneath her feet, radiating purple light through the dim darkness.
As soon as the formation appeared, Ye Yu could clearly see countless streams of purple energy rapidly pouring into the distorted space.
It was obvious that this was accelerating the spread of Liu Yuenong’s influence.
The moment he saw this, Ye Yu’s anger exploded.
The fuck is wrong with you?!
Here he was desperately trying to improve his strength as quickly as possible so he could return within a year and remove Liu Yuenong’s obsession.
And meanwhile, this lunatic had gone ahead and slammed down the acceleration button while Liu Yuenong’s consciousness was in the middle of collapsing.
She truly deserved to die.
Rage surged through Ye Yu’s heart as he immediately stepped forward.
“Are you mentally ill?!”
Hearing the furious curse, Bai Ni showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, she looked at him with mocking amusement.
“That’s right. Many people said the exact same thing to me before.
But they all died. Every single one of them died!
And you’ll die too. Just like them!”
It seemed Bai Ni had gone far, far too long without speaking to another person. Her words had even become somewhat incoherent.
And from her face, Ye Yu could actually see excitement.
The kind of excitement someone felt when they were finally about to complete their masterpiece and desperately wanted others to witness it.
