When the Chaos Demon God heard Xia Lun say this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, revealing some deeply buried emotion—as if the words had left him with a lingering trauma.
He even began to wonder whether Xia Lun had truly regained consciousness.
What Xia Lun himself did not know was that, during the period when his mind was clouded, he had kept repeating the same question.
Later, as his power grew, every time he asked it, the Chaos Demon God had to repair his body once more.
With the Chaos Demon God’s willpower, he could easily endure the pain brought by such wounds. But that did not mean he enjoyed suffering pointless damage. He had no masochistic tendencies—especially when the pain came from an opponent who was, in theory, weaker than himself. The sheer absurdity of it only made him more irritated.
“Enough!”
For the first time, the Chaos Demon God’s voice lost its detached indifference. It was as though some long-suppressed emotion had been ignited. Behind him, the six arms began once again to gather a terrifying force.
All six of the arms behind him rose simultaneously. Each one seemed to be holding a crimson orb of light. Within the orbs, miniature creations and destructions of the world appeared to unfold without end, galaxies being born and annihilated in an instant. The energy spilling from them sent wave after wave of tremors through the sea of blood.
“Chaos Annihilation…”
Xia Lun’s pupils contracted sharply, and he felt as if his heart had been seized.
His memories surged back like a tide.
It was this attack—the crimson that swallowed everything, the absolute devouring from which even light could not escape, and the figure that had pushed him away at the final moment.
Aina had disappeared beneath this very attack.
It was as if the entire world had been covered by that crimson radiance. Only now did Xia Lun truly realize how terrifying its power was. It seemed that nothing could preserve itself beneath this attack.
But the Xia Lun of now was no longer the Xia Lun he had been before.
He felt the power of the Spirit Realm pour into his body like a raging waterfall, scouring every meridian and every cell. Pain was transformed into strength, memory forged into resolve, and loss and gain reached a powerful equilibrium at that moment.
Xia Lun tightened his grip on the blood sword in his hand. Energy surged madly into it, and crimson light condensed along the blade, growing ever denser until it became as black as ink.
At the same time, the six arms behind the Chaos Demon God gathered before him, all the orbs of light merging into a solid beam.
“Open… for me!”
He swung his sword forward with the force of one splitting the heavens and earth. The black sword-light collided with the blood-red radiance that devoured all things. Time froze, and every law was annihilated in that instant.
“Crack—”
The blood sword in Xia Lun’s hand could no longer withstand such terrifying power. Countless cracks rapidly spread across its blade, and in the next moment, it shattered into countless fragments.
Everything seemed to slow down. Xia Lun watched the Chaos Demon God’s face twist and contort, while the orbs of light in his six arms went out one after another, like candles flickering in the wind.
Yet he also saw his own black sword-light rapidly melt away, like snow beneath the blazing sun.
Boom—
With a silent explosion, both of them were sent hurtling backward, completely out of control.
Xia Lun was in a terrible state. It felt as though he had broken countless bones. Although he had shielded his face in time, a large portion of the flesh on his arms had been swallowed by the blast, exposing the bones beneath, which glimmered with a faint golden sheen.
Pain surged through him like a tidal wave, only to be suppressed by an even greater force. He could feel the power of the surrounding Spirit Realm continuously pouring into his body, rapidly repairing his injuries. His body was healing at an astonishing rate.
This must have been the power that allowed him to fight the Chaos Demon God to a standstill while he was barely conscious.
On the other side of the Blood Sea, the Chaos Demon God appeared to be in an even worse condition. A burst of unleashed energy had struck him directly, blasting his entire upper body into oblivion beneath the terrifying fluctuations of power. It was as if someone had erased a pencil sketch with a rubber—his torso vanished into the radiance without leaving even a trace behind.
Yet at the sight of this, Xia Lun’s face turned pale instead, as though he had thought of some horrifying possibility.
But strands of blood-red light rose from the Blood Sea below. Woven together like threads, they began repairing the Chaos Demon God’s body.
Just what would it take to kill this thing?
As the flesh before him writhed, the Chaos Demon God recovered completely once more and gazed at Xia Lun from afar.
Then he simply sat down cross-legged atop the Blood Sea, his six arms hanging naturally behind him. His posture did not resemble that of someone on a battlefield at all; rather, he looked as though he were resting in his own courtyard.
“What are you doing?” Xia Lun could not help asking.
They were in the middle of a battle, yet his opponent had suddenly given up resisting.
“I’m done fighting. I’ve had enough.” The Chaos Demon God glanced up at Xia Lun. “Even my strongest attack couldn’t kill you. Continuing would be meaningless.”
The Chaos Demon God then spread his hands toward Xia Lun. “Likewise, you have no way of doing anything to me… In the end, the result will only be my physical body in the outside world devouring everything. Instead of continuing to wear yourself down here, you might as well go back and enjoy your final moments with your family while waiting for destruction to arrive…”
Xia Lun could never accept such an ending.
“I’ve already blocked out the sensation of pain. Whatever you do next, I won’t react.” The Chaos Demon God looked as though he were offering himself up to be cut apart, as if victory were already firmly in his grasp.
“Are you really so confident that nothing can hurt you?” Xia Lun calmed himself and considered the possibility of breaking this deadlock.
“Because I simply don’t care.”
“You don’t care?”
“I simply don’t care what becomes of this world.” The Chaos Demon God spoke indifferently. “Whether you perish or survive has nothing to do with me. After all, this era does not belong to me. I belong only to the past, and my sole opponent is the Chieftain… My physical body losing control and becoming a beast driven by the desire to devour was not my choice, either. It was a problem left behind because the Chieftain failed to deal with it properly back then.”
Xia Lun listened silently to the Chaos Demon God’s account.
“Of course, I could even choose to take my own life and allow your world to continue existing... But why should I do that?” The Chaos Demon God wore a mocking smile. “I respect the Chieftain as a worthy opponent, but I hate him just as much... Everything he cherished and left behind has been utterly destroyed. To me, that is a cause for celebration in its own right.”
Xia Lun was left stunned.
To the Chaos Demon God, they could not even be considered enemies.
Their beliefs existed on entirely different levels.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
