"However, something seems odd..."

Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly as he withdrew his hand and asked, "What’s odd?"

Mu Kexian immediately explained the situation within the Extreme Evil Hell to Su Yuan, and after speaking, she didn’t forget to nod gratefully towards Yang Aoshan standing behind Su Yuan.

Yang Aoshan gently shook her head and merely smiled warmly.

"Is that so..." Su Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.

According to Mu Kexian, in the Infinite Hell, both sides would endure penalties far exceeding those of the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

Originally, Mu Kexian had already prepared to fight to death with Zi Yue, but unexpectedly, Zi Yue was defeated after just a few layers in the Infinite Hell.

But Mu Kexian could feel that Zi Yue was not truly unable to hold on.

Moreover, what surprised Mu Kexian even more was that at the moment of destruction in the Extreme Evil Hell, a massive surge of Power of Strong Desire flowed and gathered, turning into a butterfly cocoon within her soul.

Initially, Mu Kexian thought it was some kind of curse technique, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was actually the essence of her Power of Soul.

In other words, Zi Yue had left the Star Core for Mu Kexian in a special form, and although Mu Kexian might not acquire the Extreme Evil Hell from it, she could use the strong Power of Strong Desire to break the cocoon and emerge to develop some kind of skill.

So there was no doubt that Zi Yue "actively" lost to Mu Kexian.

Though Su Yuan didn’t know why Zi Yue did this, one thing was certain: Zi Yue knew she was "doomed to die."

A Ninth Stage King Level would never choose "suicide" if survival was possible.

And why would she be doomed to die? Clearly, it wasn’t because of the people of Blue Sea, who had no way to handle the Extreme Evil Hell...

With the existing information, it’s mostly likely because of the backhand strategy of the Grey Realm!

Now, with the fall of Da Huang and Zi Yue, though Blue Sea has suffered losses too, the remaining Demon King’s remnant forces pose no significant threat.

What’s critical is the backhand of the Grey Realm.

Even characters of Divine General level like Zi Yue need to be "sacrificed," especially considering the still-surviving Divine Generals...

"Gui, Huan."

Su Yuan’s eyes shimmered with silver light as he gazed past the remaining battling Demon Kings towards the space below Tree Heart City...

Although he wasn’t sure what their exact plan was, these two who hadn’t died completely would likely show up soon.

Even if they don’t actively appear, Zhan Tianyi has already led the Yixian Dao people in calculating the core of the Chaotic Star Domain.

Before that, besides recovering their states, they should try to enhance their strength as much as possible...

At this moment, as the Netherworld Water surged, the Six Paths Demon Statue reappeared.

Bing Tong, Ruan Ruan, and others also flew out from the Six Paths Demon Map, with each of them experiencing a vast improvement in strength.

Ruan Ruan first broke through to the Ninth Stage, while Luo Bingtong, Hua Tiandu, and others all reached the Eighth Rank Limit!

Soon, everyone was also informed of Mu Kexian’s situation.

Bing Tong didn’t react much, merely nodding politely.

"Hehe, Sister Mu!"

However, Ruan Ruan, like a naive and innocent Su Family younger sister, warmly welcomed Mu Kexian’s "joining."

Back then, Ruan Ruan had personally witnessed Mu Kexian saving Su Yuan, who was afflicted by a curse, regardless of her own safety.

And to Ruan Ruan, anyone who is kind to her master is a good person!

After checking on the level of cultivation of a few people, Su Yuan flipped his hand to produce a red crystal that emanated bursts of Law fluctuations.

After a brief consideration, Su Yuan’s figure flickered, and he appeared among the members of the Qiguang.

"Lord Su Yuan." Reinhardt smiled, "Congratulations to Lord Su Yuan on winning the heart of a beauty."

Beside him, Alpha, Raymond, and others also smiled and greeted him.

Su Yuan shook his head with a smile, picking up the skill crystal, saying, "Lord Sword Saint, I propose to trade this skill crystal for the Star Core of the Divine General Da Huang in your possession. What do you say?"

"Divine Arts, Billion Star Scattering?" Reinhardt’s eyes moved slightly as he took a look and then laughed, "The Royal Envoy Su indeed possesses mystical skills; even the Imperial Empire would have to go through considerable effort and expense to accurately extract Mythical Skills..."

"Indeed." Not far away, the Nephthys Family Head also laughed, "Even though I control the Power of Destiny Weight, to accurately extract high-grade Divine Power, it requires accumulating a month’s worth of Destiny Power.

As for Mythical Skills... although I’ve never extracted any, it might take years of Destiny Energy."

Su Yuan smiled and didn’t elaborate further.

Since the Earth Tribulation, Su Yuan had risen powerfully through various high-strength skills, and there had long been suspicions that Su Yuan possessed a Heavenly Treasure, or a legacy, enabling him to accurately extract Star Core Skills.

However, what is surprising is that Su Yuan can "easily" extract even mythical skills!

But at Su Yuan’s current level, naturally no one would come to dig deeper.

Reinhardt put away the crystal and took out Da Huang’s star core, smiling: "In that case, many thanks to Lord Su Yuan, at this time a divine art is much more important than usual~"

People from Qiguang Country, many have cultivated the light law, not just Alpha, even Reinhardt himself has also minorly cultivated light law at the Ninth Stage!

Su Yuan returned to Qingming Realm and consumed ten billion Star Dust on the spot to extract Da Huang’s star core into a skill crystal, and then went to Qingming Peak.

"Royal Envoy Su?"

At the top of Qingming Peak, Ling Xiao was utilizing the Sunrise Sunset One Year Array of Qingming Realm, alongside the restoring effects of Glazed Tianqing, to fully restore his origin.

Upon seeing Su Yuan arrive, Ling Xiao immediately stood up, returned the Glazed Tianqing to Su Yuan, and said: "Thank you, Royal Envoy Su, for lending me your treasure and sacred place, I have almost fully recovered."

Su Yuan put away the Glazed Tianqing and then handed her the skill crystal he just extracted: "Imperial Envoy Ling, this item is for you. Although it may not perfectly align with your law, it should significantly offset the burden brought by the Xuantian Four Saints Technique."

"[Desolate God Body]..."

Ling Xiao took the skill crystal, examined it briefly, and her eyes lit up immediately.

After a moment’s contemplation, Ling Xiao looked up and solemnly cupped her hands toward Su Yuan, saying: "Royal Envoy Su, during the great battle, I will not be polite, thank you!"

Subsequently, Ling Xiao immediately embedded the [Desolate God Body], then left Qingming Realm.

Su Yuan, meanwhile, sat cross-legged, holding the Demon Saber shining with red light, watching the panel where he was only a step away from reaching the Ninth Stage in the wind, fire, and thunder laws, and began refining with all his might...

Tree Realm Core.

As the final portion of "nourishment" from Zi Yue was absorbed by the green light cocoon, gradually, a voice emerged from within again.

"Is it all going to be wiped out?"

Gui observed the outside situation, speaking solemnly: "I’m afraid it won’t be long before those humans find their way here."

The figure in the light cocoon said: "In that case, let me step onto the final stage."

Gui hesitated momentarily, then said: "Alright."

Gui formed a seal technique, pointed towards the green light cocoon, causing the many Divine Tree branches embedded in the green light cocoon to disconnect simultaneously.

Subsequently, Gui changed the seal technique, and his entire being transformed into a brilliant green spirit light that struck the green light cocoon, permeating it bit by bit.

"Buzz!..."

The Tree Realm core shook violently, countless green runes flashing rapidly on the light cocoon, a wave of increasingly intense vitality and unpredictable ripple spreading out continuously.

"Crack!"

With a dull crash, the green light cocoon shattered, and a naked man appeared.

He had ash-gray skin, in his pitch-black pupils were a pattern of a Sixth-level Star.

The edges of the hexagram were formed by countless tiny runes forming a circle, and in the center of the hexagram was an indistinct dark light.

This familiar face and voice...

None other than Huan!

Huan tried clenching his fists, with each move exuding astonishing ripples that made the void wail.

"Great!" Huan’s eyes shone brightly as he said: "With the full support of the Divine Tree, this body can finally unleash my infinite divine power, hahaha!"

A section of a green tree branch grew out from his shoulder, transmitting Gui’s voice: "To shape this body, it poured in divine power equivalent to several Divine Generals, sacrificed a large number of King Levels, you could say, now you are the strongest Divine General in the Holy Realm for countless years!"

If in the future, with the help of the Upper Emperor, solving the transformation defects would make truly achieving Emperor Level easy!"

Huan’s lips curved into a smile: "But that’s not possible without your assistance; otherwise...fusing such terrifying power, this body might just explode immediately."

The tree branch that Gui transformed into said: "I’m not helping you, I’m doing it for the Holy Realm."

"Helping me is helping the Holy Realm!" Huan laughed heartily, his previously gloomy gaze now accompanied by a trace of savagery due to his soaring strength, "I will crush all humans who step into this realm on behalf of the Holy Realm..."

With a thought from Huan, a layer of dark light became a robe that fell onto him, and with a swish, his figure vanished within the Tree Realm core!

Inside Qingming Realm.

Ashley walked up to Su Yuan, speaking solemnly: "Boss, they’re here."

Around Su Yuan, the immense ripple of wind, fire, and thunder laws slowly spread out, upon hearing this, he squinted slightly with a smile:

"Heh, since that’s the case, then let’s go take a look at what the Grey Realm has prepared as a backup plan!"
