It’s All Mine

After the crowd arrived, Kong Xiu and his group yielded the Stone Demon King to them.

They had no choice; rather than being watched by a crowd while they fought, it was better to withdraw.

They would let these new arrivals wear down the Stone Demon King, then seize an opportunity to strike the final blow.

Under the relentless assault of so many trial participants, cracks had already begun to appear in the Stone Demon King’s stony hide.

After all, it was merely a Stone Demon in the Foundation Establishment realm, incapable of withstanding the combined attacks of so many Qi Refining cultivators.

Meanwhile, Hunmei, hidden in the shadows outside, remained oblivious to her brother’s demise.

She waited patiently, a fierce resolve burning within her.

‘Hmph! You wretched woman, this time you’ll lose everything!’ Hunmei fumed inwardly.

Little did she know, Hun Li had already re-entered the Void Heaven Realm and reappeared in Yellow Sand City.

He wore a disgruntled expression, yet he dared not defy his father’s wishes.

Thus, with reluctance, he contacted Hunmei.

Hunmei, eagerly awaiting news, suddenly received a message from her brother.

She initially assumed the task was complete, but as she read the message, her expression froze in disbelief.

She stood stunned, unable to process the information for a long moment.

‘What? My brother was killed by her? How is that possible? The Stone Demon King’s body contains an independent space, unaffected by the rules of the Twilight Trial. And this woman is actually the legendary Chaos Body? Father told me not to oppose her, but to build a good relationship with her. What does this mean? She’s just a mere Chaos Body, and he wants me to lower myself to curry favor with her? Why should I?’

Hunmei stared blankly at the message from her brother, utterly dumbfounded.

Hun Li, too, was displeased.

When had their prestigious Soul Clan ever needed to flatter an obscure nobody?

What if she possessed the Chaos Body?

A Chaos Body that hadn’t reached full mastery wasn’t enough to warrant such apprehension from their ancient clan.

Hunmei harbored these thoughts because, throughout history, a fully matured Chaos Body had never appeared—at least, not to their knowledge.

They had only ever heard of it in the most mythical of legends.

Who would truly fear a physique that had never materialized in any substantial form?

However, since even her own father had spoken, Hunmei, no matter how unwilling, had no choice but to comply.

With a sigh of resignation, she agreed.

After speaking, Hun Li also departed from the first layer.

Hunmei was even more astonished by the fact that her brother, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, was no match for Bai Lan.

This clearly demonstrated the immense suppressive power Bai Lan held over their Soul Clan’s abilities.

Turning her attention to Bai Lan, Bai Lan prepared to leave after recovering her strength.

“Eh? How do I get out of here? Yun Yao, do you know?” Bai Lan asked Yun Yao.

“You exit the same way you entered,” Yun Yao replied.

That was as good as saying nothing at all.

When she entered, the passages branched in all directions, and Bai Lan herself couldn’t recall how she had navigated them.

Now, she would have to retrace her steps.

“Forget it, there’s no point asking you.” Bai Lan rolled her eyes, preparing to find a way out.

Just then, however, the space within the Stone Demon King began to tremble violently.

A crack appeared in the palace where Bai Lan resided, and through it, Bai Lan sensed the immense power of many cultivators.

‘Ah, it seems the trial participants outside are besieging the Stone Demon King, and it’s on the verge of collapse. Then there’s no need to search for an exit. The moment the Stone Demon King’s body shatters, I’ll instantly unleash the Frigid Moon Divine Radiance.’ Bai Lan had a plan.

Bai Lan kept her eyes fixed on the crack, which grew wider under the attacks of the external cultivators.

Just as the Stone Demon King was about to be slain, Bai Lan made her move.

She intended not only to use the trial participants’ attacks to escape but also to leverage them to kill the Stone Demon King.

The Stone Demon King would only be truly dead once its body shattered.

The moment had arrived.

Bai Lan unleashed the Frigid Moon Divine Radiance.

In the final instant before the Stone Demon King’s body exploded, an intensely cold light burst forth from the cracks in its stony form.

The trial participants, poised to deliver the killing blow to the Stone Demon King, froze.

“What’s happening? Not good, retreat quickly!”

Some of the faster-reacting trial participants, seeing the frigid light emanating from within the Stone Demon King, immediately pulled back.

Unfortunately, only those on the periphery had a chance to escape; those in the central area, surrounding the Stone Demon King, had no hope of fleeing.

Coincidentally, Long Lingyu and his companions had also been preparing to deliver the finishing strike.

Long Lingyu was the first to react.

The moment he saw the frigid light erupt from the Stone Demon King, he seemed to sense something, and his eyes instantly glowed with a kaleidoscopic radiance, enveloping him.

The power of the Frigid Moon Divine Radiance struck his defense and was refracted away.

As for the other trial participants, they were instantly transformed into ice sculptures.

An area of roughly a hundred meters around the Stone Demon King was encased in ice.

“Again!” Ye Chong and the others watched themselves being frozen, their faces etched with frustration.

This was the second time.

Of course, Long Lingyu wasn’t the only one who resisted the freezing power of the Frigid Moon Divine Radiance.

Kong Xiu was also enveloped by peacock feathers, but she could, at best, only protect herself from being frozen; she remained utterly immobile.

Another young man, behind whom a blazing sun manifested, also managed to block Bai Lan’s Frigid Moon Divine Radiance.

The frigid light shone upon him, causing a vast amount of hot mist to rise.

“Solar cold qi? Could it be the Blazing Sun Sacred Body?”

This was a formidable-looking man, clad in pale golden armor with fiery red hair.

He was Sheng Hui, the Saint Son of the Grand Beginning Holy Land in the Eastern Continent, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Physique List.

His Blazing Sun Sacred Body inherently countered Bai Lan’s current attribute, yet also harmonized with it.

The Blazing Sun Sacred Body was the most potent Yang physique in the world, without equal.

Therefore, when he detected this power as extreme Yin cold qi, he was both astonished and excited.

His master had once told him that if a Blazing Sun Sacred Body could cultivate alongside an Extreme Yin Sacred Body, they would gain unforeseen benefits.

Furthermore, the Grand Beginning Holy Land had been searching far and wide for an owner of the Extreme Yin Sacred Body.

This Grand Beginning Holy Land, incidentally, shared a certain connection with Bai Lan, as it was founded on the very spot where the Moon God and Sun God had fallen in ancient times, and it was there they discovered the dual deities’ legacy.

These were, of course, events from a distant past, dating back to the mythical era.

However, Sheng Hui then realized that this Extreme Yin cold qi’s suppressive power actually surpassed his own, which was quite peculiar.

Under normal circumstances, Extreme Yin and Blazing Sun Sacred Bodies were balanced forces, neither capable of overpowering the other.

That was because Bai Lan was, in fact, a Chaos Body, and the Extreme Yin power she wielded originated from chaos, making it purer than the segregated physiques of others.

Theoretically, if Sheng Hui could merge with another Extreme Yin Sacred Body, he might also be able to transform into chaos.

However, it was a pity that since Bai Lan, a Chaos Body, already existed, it was impossible for a second one to be born, though an incomplete Chaos Body remained a possibility.

As the Stone Demon King and most of the trial participants were frozen, a streak of light shot out from within the icy Stone Demon King, indirectly killing it and claiming the reward for its demise.[Notification: Trial participant Bai Lan has slain the first layer’s peak Foundation Establishment demonic beast, the Stone Demon King. Reward: 10,000 trial points, a random top-tier material treasure chest, a random divine ability cultivation method treasure chest, 1,000,000 spirit stones, and a random spirit artifact treasure chest.]

The consciousness of the Void Heaven Realm announced this across the entire realm.
