The colossal man-eating flower exuded a terrifying demonic aura. Its gaping maw was lined with sharp, bone-white fangs and pulsed with a restrictive energy.
Ordinary demons, once caught in such a maw, would immediately have all their abilities sealed before being rapidly digested into the most primal essence of demonic power.
However, the Heavenly Demon Weasel was no ordinary demon.
The instant the man-eating flower appeared, waves of dense, ink-black demonic energy surged from its body, coalescing into a massive, ferocious beast-head phantom that let out a silent roar.
Giant energy ripples emanated outwards from the beast's roar.
The man-eating flower, directly facing these energy ripples, immediately emitted a cracking sound. Then, amidst a shower of demonic blood, its entire massive form disintegrated into dust.
"The Heavenly Demon is here again!"
"This is the third time. That demonic flower is truly foolish, losing all reason when it sees something tasty. I knew it would fall hard one day."
"Hush, quiet down. He treats it like a casual visit each time. It's not wise for us to provoke him. We just need to wait for him to leave."
Around them, a cluster of giant demonic plants communicated telepathically, remaining utterly still, like ordinary flora.
"Fifty-tier demonic core, energy is mixed, but beggars can't be choosers."
With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Demon Weasel drew the man-eating flower's demonic core into his palm. The laws and demonic origin power within were instantly absorbed, while the residual impurities turned into black dust, which he casually discarded.
All around, numerous demonic plants were distributed. Though calm on the surface, they seemed poised to launch a surprise attack at any moment. Under the illumination of the blood-red moon, the entire land appeared exceptionally sinister and eerie.
This was not the Heavenly Demon Weasel's first visit to this place; he was already quite familiar with the surrounding terrain. He cast a casual glance at the obedient demonic plants around him, then took a step. His movement was deceptively slow yet swift, covering several miles in an instant.
"I wonder if the main body would be interested in this place. I couldn't reach him the last two times. I'll try again this time!"
The Heavenly Demon Weasel initiated a video call request to Yu Zhibo.
"Third layer of the Demon Abyss?" Yu Zhibo answered quickly this time, his voice sounding somewhat listless as it echoed in the Heavenly Demon Weasel's mind. "I don't cultivate the demonic path, so I'm not interested. Do as you please."
"There are many inner demons in the Demon Abyss. As far as I know, cultivators in the upper realms must overcome inner demons during their tribulation. Since the main body plans to ascend to the upper realms, you might as well experience it in advance," the Heavenly Demon Weasel replied.
"Are you telling me what to do?" Yu Zhibo chuckled. "We are one, after all. You wouldn't have forgotten that I have a system, would you? With the system, any invasion of inner demons is futile. Your current task is to find and kill the inner demons, obtain their origin, and then sneak into the upper realms with the Demon Queen. Don't worry about anything else."
"Ok, ok!" The Heavenly Demon Weasel agreed casually and ended the telepathic communication.
"Ascending to the upper realms... Naga, once we reach the upper realms, don't you dare provoke me foolishly..." the Heavenly Demon Weasel murmured softly.
Naga was the name of the Demon Queen, a two-character excerpt from her true name, which comprised over three hundred characters.
As his thoughts flowed, the Heavenly Demon Weasel accelerated, heading towards the bank of the demonic river where he had encountered an inner demon last time.
On the other side.
After ending the telepathic communication with the Heavenly Demon Weasel, Yu Zhibo calmly inquired of the system, "System, I can sense that the Heavenly Demon clone has developed unnecessary emotions towards the Demoness Naga. Is there a possibility that it will betray me next?"
The system responded, "The consciousness of the Heavenly Demon clone is a segment cut from the main body's consciousness. The host has absolute control over it. However, consciousness changes with experience. Since the clone's consciousness has been separated from the main body for too long, it has developed a more independent personality and emotions. The host can erase it at any time, returning it to its initial clone form."
"Is that so? Then it's fine!" Yu Zhibo was relieved.
As a clone that had fused with the Heavenly Demon's body, the Heavenly Demon Weasel's growth potential was not poor. Therefore, as long as the latter did not violate his principles, Yu Zhibo did not intend to eliminate his emotions. A Heavenly Demon devoid of emotion might lower its growth ceiling.
In the future, if the Heavenly Demon clone became powerful enough, as long as it remained loyal to him, Yu Zhibo wouldn't mind its continued existence.
After all, it had the potential to become a future demonic overlord. With both of them, one righteous and one evil, cooperating to stir up trouble in the upper realms, the thought was quite exhilarating.
With his plans made, Yu Zhibo went directly to find Wang Shouyi.
"What? Little Nine has fallen into slumber again?"
In the study, Wang Shouyi was greatly surprised after hearing Yu Zhibo's description.
Yu Zhibo nodded slightly. "During my trip to the Realm Vein Land, I coincidentally obtained the true blood of the Ancestral Divine Fox. Jiu'er saw it and said it would be very beneficial to her, so I gave it to her to fuse with. As a result, she accidentally fell into slumber again."
As he spoke, Yu Zhibo waved his hand, and a light screen immediately appeared, displaying Bai Chanyi's real-time status, even simulating her aura.
On the screen, Bai Chanyi was still floating in mid-air in the center of the palace, surrounded by swirling laws. Mysterious and ancient energies were being exhaled, as if something was being gestated.
"Ancestral Divine Fox blood? I haven't heard of that..." Wang Shouyi frowned slightly and turned to look at Bai Lanzhi. "Wife, have you heard of it?"
Bai Lanzhi, dressed in elegant attire, pondered for a moment. "There is a trace of information about the Ancestral Divine Fox inherited from the bloodline, but not much. However, it can be confirmed that our Heavenly Fox clan is indeed one of its branches."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouyi was immediately relieved. "Since it exists, then there's likely no problem. This can be considered Little Jiu's good fortune."
Saying this, he looked at Bai Chanyi on the light screen with his double pupils, a hint of admiration on his face. "I can feel that a power seems to be awakening within our Little Jiu. Perhaps it might be an even more powerful bloodline divine ability."
Afterward, he said seriously to Yu Zhibo, "Zhibo, I know you share good things with Little Jiu first because you care about her. But the more powerful bloodline is, the more potential hidden dangers it may contain. In many ancient secrets, there are instances of ancient powerful beings leaving their true blood to their descendants, only to be possessed and reborn. In the future, if there are similar matters, it would be best to discuss them with us in advance before making a decision."
Bai Lanzhi also wore an expression of agreement, rarely refraining from speaking up for Yu Zhibo.
In response, Yu Zhibo obediently admitted his mistake. He couldn't exactly say that the divine fox blood was a system product and absolutely safe.
If it were something of unknown origin, especially involving sensitive words like "Ancestral" and "Divine," he would definitely not let Bai Chanyi take the risk.
Afterward, Wang Shouyi and his wife lectured Yu Zhibo extensively, urging him to behave himself during this period and not to leave Earth casually for the Realm Vein Land.
"The Realm Vein Land is located in chaos and has too many uncontrollable factors. You are still bringing Little Jiu with you now, so safety must be the priority. Don't wander around carelessly!" Wang Shouyi said.
Yu Zhibo nodded. "I won't leave until I've dealt with the Ghost King and the Dragon King. Please don't worry."
Bai Lanzhi asked curiously, "Why is the Demon Queen excluded?"
Yu Zhibo smiled. "I have my own methods for dealing with the Demon Queen. If I explain them, the effect will be less pronounced."
Wang Shouyi knew about the existence of the Heavenly Demon clone and vaguely guessed something, so he smiled and said nothing.
Afterward, Bai Lanzhi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Wang Shouyi began to discuss with Xu Yuanhong from the Information Department the specific procedures for quickly integrating the Dragon Nation's citizens into the Dao Saint Small World after the great battle. Yu Zhibo, on the other hand, prepared to play with the three little ones.
After eight years of companionship with Bai Chan'er, and now with Bai Chanyi falling into slumber again, Yu Zhibo felt a bit guilty and intended to spend a few days playing with the children.
Just as he was about to reach the room of the three little ones, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky.
Yu Zhibo was slightly stunned, looked up at the sky, and ignoring the limitations of space and distance, fixed his gaze on the celestial dome.
Outside the atmosphere, a massive void crack appeared, extending for tens of thousands of miles. Dense dark spiritual energy poured out from within, accompanied by numerous fragmented laws from the Evernight World.
The tremendous roaring sound was the result of the collision between the fragmented laws of the Evernight World and Earth's laws.
