As soon as the hawk ripped the leaf apart, it quickly flew high into the air.
After falling just a bit, the two halves of the leaf turned into two halves of a body.
While the parts were bleeding profusely, immense spirit energy still radiated from it.
When all seems lost, the severed body still wanted to attempt something.
But the spirit energy waves quickly attracted the skin bags.
They swooped in and stuck close to the two halves of the body.
Then the body disappeared without a trace.
The hawk didn’t even bother to look back, only trying its best to fly where there were fewer skin bags.
A few breaths later.
The white fox appeared out of nowhere.
He was standing in front of the hawk, seemingly waiting for it.
This time, the white fox carried a long staff tied with numerous black streaks of cloth.
Etched on those streaks of cloth were flickering runes, giving off an indescribable domineering presence.
The white fox quickly swung the staff around.
A transparent glass-like outer shell formed and encased both himself and the hawk inside.
With this outer shell, the skin bags were unable to notice them.
The white fox rested the staff on his shoulder and spoke to the hawk: “You performed well above and beyond all expectations, congratulations on earning the only spot of becoming Rakshasa”
The hawk was still observing around them, not saying anything for now.
Beside the hawk and the white fox, there were no other living beings in this world.
Every cultivator had been eaten by the skin bags.
Other living creatures fell down with their floating islands and got absorbed into the realm demon’s body.
Everything was over.
Space was quickly shrinking above them.
The world imploded on itself
Roarr----
With a thunderous roar, the realm demon’s body loosened up.
The sky disappeared.
Space was no longer shrinking.
Everything was gone.
Darkness and chaotic wind replaced the original scenery here.
Seeing this, the white fox explained to the hawk: “This Demon Lord used a bit too much force that the world was instantly destroyed”
Indeed, the world no longer existed.
Where the realm demon lay now was where the Suspended world was originally located within the space vortex.
The Suspended world was now history.
It had completely disappeared.
To be more precise, it had been completely devoured by the realm demon.
“When do we leave?” the hawk spoke in human language.
It was Gu Qing Shan’s voice.
“Something is interfering------ no, from the very start, this area of space had already been sealed” the white fox answered.
He scowled as killing intent arose from his body.
“Things really are as you said, someone has indeed been hiding in the shadows” the white fox continued.
“Is there no way for us to forcefully warp away?” the hawk asked in a low voice.
“The number one taboo with spatial warp is to perform it while being interfered. But there’s no need to worry, I’ll just directly deal with the interfering bastard”
Hearing that, the hawk turned back into Gu Qing Shan as he hovered in space.
Gu Qing Shan took out a sword and held it tightly.
When the white fox noticed his actions, he smiled: “Are you scared? Don’t worry, when I have a weapon, not even two realm demons will be able to defeat me”
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
The white fox…
Although he came from the Middle Layer, it wasn’t until I secretly told him through the jade tag that he noticed the strangeness of this world.
Despite knowing that, the white fox only prepared a staff weapon and wasn’t the least bit afraid of a True Demon Lord like the realm demon…
If it was him, Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t have been so careless as to underestimate an unknown enemy.
But then again, the white fox said it can deal with two realm demons.
Two realm demons!
How strong would he need to be?
Being that strong, it was natural for him to have confidence.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the white fox suddenly looked up.
Gu Qing Shan also followed him and looked up.
Above the realm demon, in the chaotic winds of the space vortex, a gigantic monster appeared.
It’s here!
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
He was carefully observing the gigantic monster.
-----it was a strange creature made from the amalgamation of countless flesh.
It slowly descended and came closer to the two of them.
Below them, black shadows began to fly out from the realm demon’s body.
These shadows flew up and straight into the flesh amalgam.
If someone used inner sight to sense it, they’d notice that these black shadows were actually the cultivators’ souls.
Every black shadow was screaming in pain and agony, seemingly noticed what their fate was going to be.
Once it had absorbed all the souls, the flesh amalgam began to tremble nonstop.
Then it let out a long sigh.
「 You did well, baby 」
Following those words, the flesh amalgam began to turn into a giant face.
It was the face of a beautiful woman.
She opened her mouth.
Her mouth was able to open all the way to an 180 degrees angle.
The remaining black shadows turned into a pillar of black light as it flowed into the woman’s mouth from the realm demon’s body.
The process was quickening.
The female face was absorbing the cultivators’ soul at a crazy rate.
This was several dozen times faster than she did before.
Every cultivator who died within the last 1000 years was swallowed by the woman’s face.
The white fox slightly nodded: “This is the trap you were talking about?”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I deducted that there would be such a creature or person, but I didn’t know exactly what it would be”
“This is a Converted Demon Lord, I never would’ve thought I’d run into such a powerful bastard at a Scattered world”
The white fox’s expression was extremely solemn.
“What is a Converted Demon Lord?” Gu Qing Shan instantly asked.
This was the first time he heard about a creature that was a grade above True Demon Lords.
The white fox explained: “Converted Demon Lords, they are Demon Lords that took over the corpse of Old Gods to evolve, converting themselves into a unique type of creature------- these types of Demon Lords are the main enemies of our world”
“This Converted Demon Lord is currently absorbing the souls stored by the realm demon over the last 1000 years-------- meaning it’s becoming very powerful”
“Can you deal with it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Fortunately, it’s still within the range of what I can handle”
The white fox pointed to the staff on its shoulder, relieved: “After your reminder, I returned to get this strongest Divine Armament specifically for dealing with Converted Demon Lords”
While he was speaking, the woman’s face looked over.
She noticed their presence.
The white fox lifted the staff of his shoulder, holding it in both hands in front of himself.
“Vile demon, dispel your spatial interference, or I’m going to kill you right here and now” the white fox threatened.
The female face stared at the staff in the white fox’s face as its facial expression became blank.
It stopped absorbing the souls and turned its gaze to Gu Qing Shan.
「 You 」
She spoke with a hoarse, dry voice.
Seemingly not used to talking from staying silent for too long, she opened her mouth again and asked: 「 Did you kill Tian Shan Ye? 」
Gu Qing Shan looked straight back at her.
He could see some sort of anticipation in her eyes.
She desired an answer.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and quickly understood the current situation.
So he admitted: “That’s right, I killed him”
The gigantic female face showed a look of relief from resentment.
As if what he did consoled her in some way.
「 You did very well 」the gigantic female face said.
Her voice was becoming clearer and clearer: “That animal Tian Shan Ye kept insisting me to teach him the split soul technique while I was alive”
“And after my death, he used it to split a part of his soul, hiding away for over a 1000 years so that I can’t find him”
“But now, I’ve finally gotten what I wanted!”
Following the female face’s words, a bloody red fruit sprouted on one of the Realm Demon Trees on the realm demon’s body.
This fruit detached itself from its branch, heading towards the female face.
As the fruit stopped in front of her, it unpeeled itself.
A blurry black shadow appeared.
As soon as the shadow appeared, it wanted to run away immediately.
But the woman reached out with her long tongue, lightly licking it.
The black shadow was stuck to the tongue, no matter how it tried to struggle, it wasn’t able to move.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan saw clearly that the shadow looked like Tian Shan Ye.
The long tongue trapped Tian Shan Ye’s soul on it, bringing him in front of the woman.
“Tian Shan Ye”
The woman looked at him and let out a long sigh, mixed with relief and regret.
“Xiao Die, listen to me, I was forced to do it! They manipulated me, forcing me to trick you!” Tian Shan Ye was still screaming, trying to explain himself. (TN: Xiao Die = Little butterfly)
A great cultivator who once stood at the top was now pathetically crying and begging for mercy.
Perhaps he knew just how frightening the woman he was facing could be.
She just silently listened with a mocking smile.
“To not be fooled by you again, I’ve consumed every last soul in the world, searching through their memories-------- do you really think I don’t know the truth behind everything?” she said.
“Xiao Die, forgive me, it was just the spur of the moment, I gave in to my inner demon!”
Tian Shan Ye frantically made more excuses.
The woman calmed down.
“You killed me, you killed my unborn child, and yet you still want me to forgive you?” she slowly spoke.
“Tian Shan Ye, I’ve gotten you in my hands now, after this, I’ll have as much time as I want to slowly torture you and relieve the pain of my grudge”
“Xiao Die------"
Tian Shan Ye’s next words were unable to come out.
The long tongue had fully wrapped around his soul, taking him into her mouth.
The female face stopped for a bit and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
“You are my second benefactor, you helped me capture that man” she said.
“So I’ve decided to let you leave with your life”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan instantly clasped his fist: “Thank you”
“Go, while I still haven’t changed my mind” she closed her eyes.
Gu Qing Shan and the white fox exchanged glances.
The white fox had sensed the spatial interference disappear.
------it was best if they could leave without fighting.
Who would be willing to clash with such an existence for no reason?
The white fox nodded and drew a circle in midair with his tail.
A gate of light appeared.
“Let’s go, we’re heading to the Middle Layer, my world” the white fox said.
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Their gazes fell on the female face for a short few seconds.
She still had her eyes closed, unmoving.
The white fox let down his guard slightly.
He brought Gu Qing Shan, wanting to enter the gate of light.
Then his head disappeared all of a sudden.
A black shadow came out from his body, flying towards the female face.
The female face opened her mouth and swallowed the struggling black shadow whole.
Following that, even the white fox’s head and bodies were chewed and swallowed by her.
“Ridiculous”
After devouring the white fox, the woman chuckled in a low voice.
“An insect of the Middle Layer who can’t even tell my level of power dared to speak in that tone with me?”
She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
“I’ve changed my mind” she said.
“Is that so?”
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and grabbed the Earth sword from the void of space.
He was preparing to make one final gamble.
“No need to be so cautious”
She smiled.
The face then showed a hint of nostalgia as she spoke: “Back when I was still a human, a certain Combatant once helped me”
“But now, even after my most wanted desire had been achieved, I still haven’t repaid my favor to that Combatant”
“Because I’ve become a real demon, I’m no longer able to return to the world of humans, so please help me bring something to him, as thanks for me helping you”
“Helping me?”
“Indeed, helping you”
The woman looked at Gu Qing Shan, showing clear friendliness.
“I know about everything you’ve done in this world”
“Your attitude towards the slaves were exactly the same as myself all those years ago, even the disdain you feel towards the people of this world was not too different from my own”
“That’s why I decided to help you once”
Saying so, she blew a breath towards the gate of light.
The scenery from the other side of the gate appeared to Gu Qing Shan.
Complete carnage.
Over a dozen uniformed soldiers restrained a group of people on the ground as they beheaded them.
Suddenly, someone called out: “Sir, a space gate was opened!”
A uniformed man that appeared to be their superior spoke: “Have one squad surround the gate and wait for the remaining Rakshasa to appear”
