"Long Aotian, you are more despicable and shameless than I imagined," Ji Ziyan spat out a ball of fierce flames from her mouth, shooting toward Long Aotian.

"Ji Ziyan, I told you, although your Solar True Fire is powerful, it cannot deal with me. I have already achieved the Supreme rank," Long Aotian roared with laughter, sweeping out a palm strike. A chilling gust of wind effortlessly extinguished the Solar True Fire that could incinerate even peak experts.

Ji Ziyan was stunned. Although she already knew Long Aotian was vastly superior to her, an (Ya-Sheng/Sub-Sage) level existence, she never expected him to actually advance to the Supreme rank?

Among limited human cultivators, whether immortal, demon, or fiend, no had ever managed to break through to the Supreme level; that was the absolute limit.

How could this despicable, shameless, filthy Long Aotian be the first among the higher races of the Three Realms to reach the Supreme realm?

"I have strived for this day for over sixty million years," Long Aotian laughed proudly, unable to contain himself. "Everyone thought I only recently broke through to in the last tens of thousands of years, but you were all wrong. I reached tens of millions of years ago! To break through to Supreme, let alone betray Yan Chixing, I wouldn't even bat an eye at betraying every living being in the Three Realms!" Hahaha!

"So what if you reached the Supreme rank?" Ji Ziyan, jolted awake by his frenzied confession, spoke with utter disdain. "I think you've gone mad, even your intelligence has suffered. Chixing once said that the Primordial Spiritual Qi and essence derived from restoring the Chaos Pagoda are saturated with impurities and malevolent energy. Unless one is a ghost born from resentful spirits, ordinary people consuming such polluted essence will only meet a violent end. Even peak experts will eventually be unable to suppress the increasingly heavy malevolent energy."

"That's true, the Chaos Pagoda is imperfect, and the primordial essence it refines is full of those resentments and malevolent energies; it is not pure," Long Aotian replied nonchalantly. "But, as long as the Chaos Pagoda can retrieve its original Artifact Spirit, all of its functions can be fully utilized to refine the truly pure primordial essence."

"Impossible. No one in this world can restore pure primordial essence," Ji Ziyan replied with profound disbelief. "Long Aotian, stop your baseless delusions and self-aggrandizement!"

"Me, self-aggrandizing? Haha, when the Nether King designed this artifact, he inscribed all the formations needed to purify the true essence of chaos within the Artifact Spirit." Long Aotian’s laughter abruptly ceased, laced with bitterness. "What a pity, what a pity! The remnant soul of the Nether King I obtained only contained memories regarding this aspect, not the profound formations for forging the Chaos Pagoda's Artifact Spirit and purifying the primordial essence. Otherwise, I, Long Aotian, wouldn't have to endure the erosion and torment of those resentments and malevolent energies so painfully! Ji Ziyan, you know what you know. Now that your curiosity is satisfied, tell me the whereabouts of that brat Lei Dong who dared to steal my Chaos Pagoda Artifact Spirit."

"Haha, so that's what you’ve been circling around for," Ji Ziyan also laughed, the sound desolate. "After all your scheming, someone else took the greatest prize. Long Aotian, accept your fate. Even if you find that fellow surnamed Lei, you won't get the Artifact Spirit back. His Chaos Pagoda was automatically destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder when he underwent the Void Refinement Tribulation."

"That's impossible!" Long Aotian exploded in rage. His immense divine sense, saturated with countless resentments and malevolent energies, surged toward Ji Ziyan.

Ji Ziyan was, after all, a level figure. Although the gap in power compared to a Supreme was vast, she managed a desperate resistance, preventing him from overpowering her for the moment.

"Long Aotian, if you dare lay another hand on me, I, Ji Ziyan, will self-detonate my flesh and soul! See how you find Lei Dong then!" Ji Ziyan became ruthless, her expression resolute. "You know my resolve. Since Chixing died, I haven't planned to live much longer in this world."

"Good, good. Such deep affection truly moves me," Long Aotian’s face twisted, and he laughed wildly. "If you didn't have that weakness, I, this Supreme, wouldn't know how to handle you." With that, his veins bulged, and his right hand, seemingly entangled with malevolent energy, snatched at the void like a ghostly claw.

A fissure tore open in the void, and Ji Shuangshuang, completely bound by ropes made of spirit treasures, tumbled out, crying out pitifully, "Mother, don't worry about me! Run!"

"Long Aotian, your baseness exceeds my imagination!" Under the pressure of Long Aotian's malevolent and tyrannical divine sense, Ji Ziyan's seven orifices began to bleed. Her eyes stared fixedly at Long Aotian with fury. "Release my daughter!"

"Ji Ziyan, stop saying meaningless nonsense," the Azure Dragon Emperor Long Aotian laughed triumphantly. "Didn't you just say you had no attachments, and that with one strike of my Immortal Slaying Finger, I could make her soul scatter? This is your daughter! Are you really willing to forsake your own flesh and blood, the daughter of Yan Chixing, for his disciple?"

"What?" Ji Shuangshuang’s almond eyes widened. Hearing this news, she froze completely. All this time, she had strongly avoided acknowledging her half-human heritage, and under the influence of other demon spirits, she was deeply hostile towards humans. But how could she have imagined that her father was actually...

"The Desolate Lands," Ji Ziyan choked, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, as she slowly closed her eyes and uttered those two words.

"So you sent him to the Desolate Lands," Long Aotian roared with laughter. "Good, good. Although it's far, for someone like me, a Supreme, having a fixed location means opening a Grand Void Tunnel is no problem! Ji Ziyan, if you had just answered my question obediently earlier, wouldn't you have spared yourself so much suffering?"

Ji Ziyan's face contorted in extreme pain. For the sake of her daughter, betraying the disciple of her beloved was perhaps inevitable, but the agony felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart.

"Haha, before I go find that brat, there are two more things to do. Since he’s in the Desolate Lands, he can't run far," Long Aotian revealed an intensely wicked expression. "Ji Ziyan, I told you I have one last desire: to possess you. Even if you are just used goods played with by Yan Chixing, I don't care, because I can use your daughter to dilute the anger and hatred in my heart! Hahaha! Yan Chixing, Yan Chixing, if you had just given me the Chaos Pagoda before you died, wouldn't all this have been avoided? Why play those tricks? Even in death, you couldn't have imagined I would play with your wife and daughter too?"

"You..." Ji Ziyan roared in fury. Ji Shuangshuang also struggled violently. "Mother, run! Don't mind me!"

"What use is struggling?" A chaotic true essence, radiating a tyrannical aura, surged around Long Aotian. However, his chaotic true essence seemed not entirely pure, filled with various impurities, perhaps due to consuming impure essence or an incomplete Chaos Art cultivation.

But how powerful was he, having forcefully broken through to the Supreme level? The ethereal chaotic true essence solidified, binding the mother and daughter like ropes, rendering them unable to move.

Several strands of chaotic true essence materialized into tentacle-like shapes, beginning to tear at their garments. Both Ji Ziyan and Ji Shuangshuang, furious and ashamed, considered self-detonating their primordial spirits and bodies. However, Long Aotian must have cultivated some wicked art, as the malevolent energy within the chaotic true essence drilled into their bodies and primordial spirits, instantly preventing them from even using their own true essence.

Ji Ziyan was almost completely devastated. Two streams of clear tears traced paths down her cheeks. "Shuangshuang, it’s Mother who has failed you, dragging you into this."

"No, Mother, it’s your daughter who is useless, dragging you down," Ji Shuangshuang sobbed, unable to end her own life. "Daughter has always blamed you for not telling me who my father was. I am sorry, Mother."

"What touching mother-daughter affection," Long Aotian chuckled obscenely, floating closer. "Look at your expressions, your eyes. If Yan Chixing truly has a spirit in the heavens, he must be dying of heartache. Hahaha! Ji Ziyan, especially you, you filthy, promiscuous woman! In what way am I inferior to Yan Chixing? He became Supreme, and I, Long Aotian, can too. Now, one of my lifelong desires is about to be fulfilled, and I even have a bonus."

Riiip

Long Aotian’s body expanded, his purple python robe tearing apart to reveal his imposing and powerful physique. However, there seemed to be surging malevolent energy within his body, and his formidable weapon pointed straight upward.

"Yan Chixing, watch closely! Watch closely how I play with her..."

Hiss-hiss

Two sounds of finger strikes echoed. Long Aotian was, after all, a Supreme expert, and he sensed the sneak attack instantly. Both finger strikes radiated a pure, golden-hued aura of annihilation.

One shot targeted his head, the other aimed directly at his groin. If hit, it would be a massive humiliation for Long Aotian. His figure flickered slightly, shifting dozens of yards away, easily dodging the two strikes. But his expression twisted further because he recognized the origin of those two fingers with terrifying ease: the Immortal Slaying Finger.

Such a pure chaotic true essence circulating to launch the Immortal Slaying Finger!

"I say, the void is shattered." Lei Dong's figure abruptly appeared beside the mother and daughter Ji family, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood. His divine sense, far surpassing ordinary power, spun wildly.

Bang! Space shattered before him, forming a small void tunnel. Without hesitation, Lei Dong enveloped them both at the fastest possible speed and plunged inside.

"Arrogant! You think you can rescue them and escape right in front of this Supreme?" Long Aotian was unexpectedly enraged.
