Lu Changsheng charged out of the ruins, his True Qi vibrating, and the dust on his Primordial Dao Robe disappeared completely.
The headless corpse and its former mighty self now had no connection whatsoever; after the fall of the great expert, his flesh was eroded by Yins ha Qi and had formed a new spiritual intelligence.
This corpse was filled with Yins ha Qi, lacking internal organs and any vital spots to speak of.
Bang!
The arm of the headless corpse lashed out like a whip, striking the purple-clad woman.
The purple-clad woman could not withstand the attack of an entity at the level of a great accomplished Immortal Emperor; she was flung out like a cannonball, collapsing several mountain peaks.
“Detestable, how dare you injure me!”
After being wounded, the purple-clad woman found a bloodstain on her beautiful face and instantly became hysterical, summoning a small bell.
This bell was bronze in color, and as the purple-clad woman activated it with her True Qi, it vibrated, causing ripples in space and time, and everything was annihilated!
“Madwoman…”
Lu Changsheng noticed that the purple-clad woman was indiscriminately attacking just out of fury, muttered under his breath, and quickly used a Spatial Talisman to escape from the place.
Ding…
The spatial ripples reached the headless corpse, and its body crumbled to pieces.
The surrounding mountains, all erased.
Mountain Demons and Yakshas and other specters were shattered by the bell, completely turning into nothingness.
The purple-clad woman’s attack spanned a hundred miles, reducing everything within to dust.
Three hundred miles away, Lu Changsheng appeared, breaking into a cold sweat.
Although the purple-clad woman was beautiful, her temperament seemed somewhat insane; merely being struck by the headless corpse, she directly resorted to her strongest method and destroyed everything within a hundred miles.
“That bell is by no means just an Emperor Soldier-level treasure; it might even be a Dao Artifact. The background of this person is extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng had originally thought of taking this woman as a disciple, but considering her formidable background, it seemed likely to be difficult.
Just one vibration of this Dao Artifact annihilated everything within a hundred miles; its power was truly boundless.
Dao Appliances are treasures that defend Holy Lands and do not appear lightly, yet this purple-clad woman possessed such a treasure, which indicated her extraordinary origin.
“This is the consequence of offending me, Dantai Meng.”
Seeing the surroundings turned into ruins and the headless corpse nowhere to be found, the purple-clad woman contentedly put away the bell.
Sweat seeped from her fair skin.
Activating a treasure of such level, she had exhausted a great amount of True Qi.
A Dao Artifact was beyond the scope of what someone at the Immortal Emperor Realm could handle.
She had used less than one-tenth of the bell’s power.
If her father didn’t treat her as the apple of his eye and spoilt her greatly, he wouldn’t have bestowed such a Dao Artifact on her.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng appeared and reached out to grab Dantai Meng.
“What, what do you want to do?!”
Dantai Meng thought Lu Changsheng wanted to steal her treasure and quickly extended her hand to protect it.
But Lu Changsheng only took her wrist, and at the same time, the Spatial Talisman in his other hand took effect, and both of them were teleported away.
Boom!
At the spot where Dantai Meng had been standing, a fist as large as a mountain plummeted down, and the ground sank.
The headless corpse had reappeared.
If Lu Changsheng hadn’t taken Dantai Meng away, she would have been smashed by the headless corpse’s fist and would have undoubtedly perished on the spot.
Even though Dantai Meng was an unrivaled genius, faced with the headless corpse’s attack at the great accomplished Immortal Emperor realm and receiving an unguarded punch, she couldn’t withstand it.
“Damn, my cultivation is still lacking a bit, unable to completely destroy its spirit; the condensation of Yins ha Qi allowed it to reconstitute its corpse.”
Dantai Meng bit her thin lips, noticing that the headless corpse’s aura had decreased significantly.
Her treasure could have easily wiped out the headless corpse, but since she was only able to unleash less than a tenth of its power, she almost fell victim to it.
“Its aura has weakened; I’ll take care of it from here.”
With the Qing Emperor Sword in hand, Lu Changsheng sensed that the headless corpse was no longer as powerful as before after being hit by the spatial ripples of the bell and decided to eliminate the headless corpse once and for all.
The headless corpse, realizing it was being targeted by Lu Changsheng, reached out and grabbed the Demon Blade that had fallen beside it, drawn to its hand by its call.
“One Sword Transcends Worlds!”
Lu Changsheng once again executed the second realm of the strongest swordsmanship from the Tai Hua Holy Land!

The second realm of swordsmanship, capable of cutting through space and time!
“People from the Tai Hua Holy Land?”
At the moment Lu Changsheng took action, Dantai Meng knew his identity.
The immense sword Qi had just been unleashed, splitting time and space, arriving instantly at the top of the headless corpse’s head, slashing down from above and striking the headless corpse!
The headless corpse reflexively swung its Demon Blade, counterattacking the sword Qi.
However, the headless corpse had forgotten that its Demon Blade had been affected by the ripples of space-time from the bell, becoming even more damaged, and its grade had dropped from a high-grade Emperor Soldier to a mid-grade Emperor Soldier.
A mid-grade Emperor Soldier could not withstand the Qing Emperor Sword.
This time, the Demon Blade shattered, and the body of the headless corpse was cleaved into two halves from the top of its head to the bottom by the Qing Emperor Sword.
“Ha!”
Lu Changsheng operated the “Ziwei Celestial Flame True Art,” releasing a fierce fire that struck the split headless corpse.
The Ziwei Celestial Flame burned like a festering scourge, consuming every piece of the headless corpse’s flesh, preventing it from having any chance of rebirth.
The malignant Qi inside the headless corpse was also completely burned by the Ziwei Celestial Flame, turning into nothingness.
“Huff…”
Lu Changsheng swallowed a seventeenth-grade True Yang Limitless Pill, urgently restoring his True Qi to avoid alarming any formidable existence from the deeper parts of the Nine Nether Abyss.
Dantai Meng had also taken an Immortal Pill and was meditating.
“Who are you? Why are you here in the depths of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land?”
While meditating, Lu Changsheng probed the woman’s origins.
The purple-clad woman before him actually possessed a Dao Artifact, she could possibly be a Supreme Elder from some Holy Land or Cultivator Clan.
By saving her life, Lu Changsheng considered it a good deed, which might even bring a reward in the future.
However, what was strange was that the magic weapon used by the purple-clad woman was something Lu Changsheng had never seen in any Holy Land’s records. Could this woman come from a secluded Cultivator Clan, an Ancient Holy Land? Or, possibly from… a Holy Land?
No, something wasn’t right.
Lu Changsheng found that the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator did not prompt him for any merit acquired, and the Merit Treasure, the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, did not grow either.
He had just saved this purple-clad woman and annihilated the headless corpse, which should have brought him considerable merit.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-level pagoda.
Unless, he was not supposed to save this woman.
“If I’m not mistaken, you are Tai Hua’s Holy Son, Lu Changsheng, who recently defeated Feng Mu, the premier genius of the Ancient Feng Family, and who is ranked second on the Qilin Ranking.”
The purple-clad woman was the first to recover her True Qi, standing up with a purple dagger appearing in her palm, emitting a faint purple glow.
This was trouble.
Lu Changsheng gave a bitter smile.
He always did good deeds, striving to turn the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda into a Dao Artifact. Now, he had saved the wrong person for the first time.
“Let me try guessing your identity.”
Lu Changsheng thought of buying time.
He still needed time to restore his True Qi.
In the Nine Nether Forbidden Land, filled with Yin Sha Qi, it was difficult to replenish nature’s spiritual energy; he could only rely on Elixir Pills to restore True Qi.
“Oh? Do you know who I am?”
“The Nine Nether Abyss is a connection between the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. Since you are nearby and clearly not from the Righteous Dao, the only possibility is that you are a demoness from the Demon Realm who has come to the Nine Nether.”
“Hahaha, you guessed correctly, I am indeed the daughter of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.”
Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable?!
Lu Changsheng inwardly exclaimed in alarm.
The Demon Realm powerhouses “Xuan Yi Demon Monarch” tried to manipulate the Candle Dragon Clan during their Clan Leader selection and was captured only after being besieged by ten Great Immortal Emperors.
And Xuan Yi Demon Monarch was just one of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable’s subordinates.
From this, it was evident how high Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable’s status was in the Demon Realm, belonging to a group of Demon Realm Powerhouses just below the rank of Demon Marshal.
And now, this purple-clad woman before him was actually a demoness from the Demon Realm, and the precious pearl in the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable’s palm!
Dantai Meng was a realm higher than him and even possessed a Dao Artifact; this was not a good situation.
Lu Changsheng was already considering ways to escape.
“However…” Dantai Meng’s tone shifted, “in consideration of you saving me, I can spare your life, but you must swear a blood oath to be like a dog to me from now on, loyal and undivided. That would be your honor.”
What?
