Hundred Steps of Inner Demons

His abyss-like black eyes coldly reflected the rapidly expanding massive shadow deep underground.

The seventh-tier Dao Platform, with its Exquisite Illusion-Breaking power, stripped away Ye Chen's shady calculations until absolutely nothing was left.

Boiling a frog in warm water?

Trying to elegantly reel in the net at the perfect juncture between the ninety-ninth and one hundredth stage?

The corners of Gu Yang's thin lips curled into a cruel, utterly cold arc.

He casually lowered his large hand, which was covered in rough calluses.

Like picking up a defenseless lamb waiting to be slaughtered, he brutally grabbed the pale, fragile back of Su Lingyan's neck.

"Ugh—!"

Su Lingyan let out a deeply suppressed cry of pain.

The wound at the base of her thigh tore open again from the rough pull. Scalding blood dripped down her snow-white calf onto the glazed mirror surface, splattering into blindingly bright crimson blossoms.

But Gu Yang showed absolutely no tenderness toward her.

Between his fingertips, a wisp of dark golden liquid flame, compressed to the absolute limit, acted like a fire-quenched poison needle.

It pierced tyrannically into the skin of Su Lingyan's nape, driving straight into the depths of her spine.

"Crack."

A microscopic shattering sound echoed like a thunderclap within Su Lingyan's body.

It was the heavy seal that the sect master of the Heavenly River Sword Sect had painstakingly laid down using countless natural treasures, designed to desperately suppress the "Supreme Nine Yin Fox Bone" and the "Demon Sword of Severing Sins" inside her!

Gu Yang didn't completely undo it.

Instead, with extreme cunning, he forcibly burned an unhealable gap at the weakest core of the seal's formation.

The extreme Yin energy that had been suppressed for ten years, mixed with the sickeningly vile demonic aura of the ancient Heaven-tier demon sword.

Like a breached black tide, it surged through that gap, exploding within Su Lingyan's battered, delicate body!

"Riiip!"

At the fragile small of her back, the phantom of a snow-white fox tail—representing the ultimate pure Yin—uncontrollably burst through her torn plain-snow immortal dress.

It swayed with extreme seductiveness in the stifling air.

Su Lingyan's light glass-colored eyes were instantly swallowed by a mindless, agonizing crimson.

Her entire body convulsed violently, the tip of her nose beaded with cold sweat as she panted rapidly.

On her cold, jade-white skin, terrifying demonic markings began to surface like a black spiderweb.

Perfect.

An extremely pure "Lunar Poison Bait" of such high quality that it would drive any evil demon into absolute madness.

The muscles on Gu Yang's granite-hard arm suddenly bulged.

The terrifying physical power of his Desolate Ancient Supreme Yang Body poured unreservedly into his palm at this moment.

"Go."

A breath without a single ripple of emotion.

Like hurling a blunt heavy sword meant to tear apart the firmament, Gu Yang brutally threw Su Lingyan's delicate body—now radiating astonishing allure and terrifying demonic aura.

Toward the blind spot of the life gate in Ye Chen's utterly hypocritical "Righteous Aura Array" hundreds of yards away.

He smashed her out with vicious force!

The fierce wind howled mournfully in her ears.

The intense force of acceleration and weightlessness caused a brief blankness in Su Lingyan's already chaotic consciousness.

Her tattered immortal dress fluttered wildly in the astral winds, exposing breathtaking expanses of snowy skin intertwined with demonic markings under the blinding sunlight.

She tore across the dead, glazed plain like a cannonball dragging a black meteor trail.

In mid-air, she struggled immensely to open those eyes glowing with an eerie crimson.

Through the sky filled with splattering blood mist and wild sand, she stared fixedly at the gray silhouette still standing in the shadows, not even a corner of his clothes ruffled.

He had personally ripped away her fig leaf, thoroughly exposing the dirtiest, most fatal secret within her body to the light of day.

Then, without mercy, he treated her as a disposable tool and tossed her into that man-eating grand array.

Yet, absurdly enough.

Feeling the lingering rough touch on the back of her neck, as well as the residual warmth of that incredibly domineering True Fire of the Great Sun that protected her heart meridians.

Su Lingyan's battered heart didn't feel the slightest humiliation of being used.

Instead, a morbid shiver, almost like a moth drawn to a flame, surged within her.

In this slaughterhouse where everyone wanted to flay her alive.

Being used so brutally yet with such absolute control by a man who resembled a demon god.

That exquisitely suffocating feeling of completely surrendering her body and mind to the domination of the strong made her fragile neck tilt backward in ultimate vulnerability.

Waiting for destruction to descend.

"Who goes there?!"

Within the Righteous Aura Array, a trace of astonishment finally cracked Ye Chen's compassionate-looking face.

He abruptly raised his head.

In his line of sight, a mass of black and white light, radiating terrifyingly extreme Yin and ultimate evil aura, was hurtling at a speed impossible to react to.

With pinpoint precision and zero deviation, it was smashing straight toward his array's "life gate"—the weakest point in its defense, used for extracting underground spiritual energy!

"Boom—!!!"

Su Lingyan's delicate body slammed fiercely against the pure white array barrier like a heavy bomb.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There was only a terrifying chemical reaction, like a drop of extremely thick, freezing dead blood dripping into boiling hot oil!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

The Supreme Nine Yin energy spilling from Su Lingyan's body was simply the most irresistible, top-tier opium for all the Mirror Shadow Heart Demons in this shadowless mirror desert!

Within a radius of dozens of miles, the originally perfectly smooth glazed mirror surface completely boiled over.

"Crack! Crack!"

Countless scalp-numbing shattering sounds exploded across the horizon.

Tens of thousands of pitch-black, mutated heart demons radiating bone-piercing extreme Yin coldness acted like a school of piranhas smelling blood, madly smashing through the mirror surface and roaring as they crawled out from the ground.

But this wasn't the most fatal part.

The truly fatal threat was the ninety-ninth stage Mirror Shadow Great Demon deep underground—the one Ye Chen had been "boiling like a frog in warm water," which was only a hair's breadth away from a perfect metamorphosis.

It sensed the Supreme Nine Yin Fox Blood above its head, pure enough to let it ascend to immortality directly!

Why would it still eat the leftover scraps of righteous sect disciples?

"Roar—!!!"

A terrifying bellow that absolutely did not belong to this plane erupted from the depths of the earth's core.

The entire mirror plain began to tremble violently as countless thick black tentacles brutally tore through the heavy glazed stratum.

That mountain-sized monster opened its abyss-like maw.

Like a giant whale sucking in water, it swallowed the tens of thousands of mutated extreme Yin heart demons that had just broken out of the ground in a single gulp!

Along with them, it greedily inhaled a massive mouthful of the incredibly dense extreme Yin demonic aura from where Su Lingyan had smashed against the array's life gate, sucking it fiercely through the gap in the formation runes!

In the span of a single breath, a qualitative change was explosively completed.

Its originally pitch-black, massive body instantly transformed into an extremely pure, flawless glazed color radiating iridescent reflections.

Stage one hundred, Mirror Shadow Heart Demon.

It had gone berserk ahead of time and fully formed!

"Crack—Rumble!"

Ye Chen's Righteous Aura Array, which claimed to be impervious to all laws, was practically like a cheap glass cover in front of this completely enraged hundredth-stage Great Demon.
