So this is what you like, why didn't you say so earlier

Ling Shuangshuang completely blew her top. She was Ling Shuangshuang, the little princess of the Lingxiao Divine Dynasty, an eighteen-year-old Immortal Realm genius. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to lay even a single finger on her.

Today, a rented Dao Companion had unexpectedly slapped her across the face twice in a row.

"You are courting death!"

Ling Shuangshuang's furious roar carried genuine killing intent. A burst of purple light exploded from her body, and she transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, lunging straight for Qin Hao's face.

Qin Hao's eyes chilled. With a shift of his foot, his body twisted at an unbelievable angle, narrowly dodging that claw strike.

Ling Shuangshuang's pupils shrank slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief. He dodged it? This man in the Great Ascension Realm actually dodged a strike from her, an Immortal Realm expert?

"You dodged once, but can you dodge a second time?" Ling Shuangshuang shouted fiercely. Her fingers fluttered, and a sky full of purple spiritual threads spawned out of nowhere. Like a dense, venomous web, they intertwined and descended from all directions, sealing off all of Qin Hao's avenues of escape.

Qin Hao's feet were planted firmly on the ground. Facing Ling Shuangshuang's overwhelming spiritual threads, his face showed no signs of panic. He was so calm it seemed as if he wasn't the one being attacked.

Qin Hao took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. In the next second, a terrifyingly scorching aura erupted violently from within his body:

"Heavenly Phoenix Divine Physique, open!"

Boom—

Golden flames rose from Qin Hao's body without warning, carrying a sacred aura. It was so scorching that it distorted the air. The flames spewed forth from every inch of his skin and every pore, resembling a massive, blooming lotus flower.

Nirvana Divine Fire. As soon as the purple Asura venomous threads condensed by Ling Shuangshuang touched the Nirvana Divine Fire, they melted away silently, like snow meeting the blazing sun.

"What! This... how is this possible!" Ling Shuangshuang's eyes widened, revealing deep disbelief. She recognized the flames surrounding Qin Hao as the Nirvana Divine Fire.

However, even if it was the Nirvana Divine Fire, it shouldn't have disintegrated her attack so easily. One must know that she was an Immortal Realm cultivator, while the Qin Hao before her was merely at the peak of the Great Ascension Realm.

Seeing Ling Shuangshuang's bewildered expression, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly. His Nirvana Divine Fire was different from that of other Heavenly Phoenix Divine Physique awakeners.

Qin Hao possessed multiple top-tier physiques and even held the origin essence blood of the Immemorial Dragon Emperor. The origins of these powers blended and clashed, achieving an effect far greater than just one plus one equaling two.

Moreover, the quality of Qin Hao's spiritual energy was exceedingly high. He suppressed his cultivation base at all times, only breaking through a minor realm when he absolutely couldn't suppress it any longer. This resulted in an incredibly solid foundation. In terms of sheer volume of internal spiritual energy, he wasn't inferior to an ordinary Immortal Realm cultivator in the slightest.

"You are quite troublesome. No wonder a rented Dao Companion dares to be so arrogant; it turns out you have something to rely on. But it's useless! This princess will definitely beat you until you cry for your mommy today!"

Hearing Ling Shuangshuang's declaration, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Wait, beat me until I cry for mommy? Does this woman have some sort of special fetish?

Ling Shuangshuang stopped probing and stopped holding back:

"Asura Demonic Physique, open!" Ling Shuangshuang's voice sounded like murmurs from the Nine Netherworld, every word carrying a heart-palpitating coercion.

After opening the Nine Nether Demonic Physique, the purple light around Ling Shuangshuang's body was no longer emitting outward, but collapsing inward. Her entire person was like a black hole, devouring all light.

Ling Shuangshuang shouted loudly. In the next second, overwhelming black spiritual threads tightly surrounded Qin Hao.

"Kneel down, apologize to me, and call me mommy right now, and I might still spare your life. If you don't listen, then mommy will just have to punish you severely."

After activating the Asura Demonic Physique, Ling Shuangshuang became extremely confident, clearly possessing supreme faith in her own strength.

Qin Hao curiously observed the black spiritual threads surrounding him, then tentatively reached out a hand to touch them. In the next second, the blackness rapidly spread onto his body from the point of contact. At the same time, a piercing pain struck him.

Qin Hao was greatly alarmed and hastily mobilized the Nirvana Divine Fire to resist this black spiritual energy. However, the Nirvana Divine Fire, which had easily incinerated the demonic threads earlier, had absolutely no effect against these black spiritual threads.

"Oh, interesting. Is this the ultimate profound meaning of the Asura Demonic Physique? It's quite strong. I wonder if my Asura Demonic Physique can devour this spiritual energy."

After awakening the Asura Demonic Physique, Qin Hao knew that it had two forms. The regular form was the purple spiritual energy Ling Shuangshuang had displayed earlier, while the current black spiritual energy was its ultimate form.

"Hehe, it's useless. Your Nirvana Divine Fire is indeed very strong, but what's sealing you now is the ultimate profound meaning of the Asura Demonic Physique—World-Destroying Asura. Once this power touches you, it will continuously erode you until you are completely erased from existence."

"I am not a bloodthirsty person either. Admit defeat, kneel down and call me mommy. From now on, whatever I tell you to do, you do it, and I will forgive you."

Ling Shuangshuang crossed her arms over her chest, floating barefoot in front of Qin Hao. She looked down condescendingly at Qin Hao, who was wrapped in layers of black spiritual threads, a victorious smile hanging on her lips.

Ling Shuangshuang's long purple hair fluttered gently in the night breeze. After activating the Asura Demonic Physique, she exuded an eerie yet dangerous beauty, like a black mandala blooming on the edge of a cliff.

Qin Hao did not answer. Looking at the black spiritual threads sealing him layer by layer, an idea sprouted in his mind. Although his Asura Demonic Physique was only in its first form, could he absorb this black spiritual energy and use it as a medium to evolve into the second form of the Asura Demonic Physique?

Thinking of this, Qin Hao silently activated his Asura Demonic Physique.

The moment Qin Hao activated the Asura Demonic Physique, Ling Shuangshuang couldn't help but frown. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but just now, she actually sensed a very familiar scent from Qin Hao.

This scent actually made her sprout the thought of eating Qin Hao, as if doing so would make her entire being more complete.

While Ling Shuangshuang was still wondering why such a familiar scent was coming from Qin Hao, he had already reached out to touch those black spiritual threads.

Almost instantly, these black spiritual threads rapidly spread into his body along his palm. At the same time, an unbearable pain enveloped him. Even with Qin Hao's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but gasp in pain.

"It hurts a lot, but it's acceptable. It's far inferior compared to the Star Body Forging Platform."

"Hmm? Is he courting death? Or does he enjoy this kind of masochistic drama?"

Ling Shuangshuang thought of something unknown, and a bright glint actually bloomed in her eyes as she looked at Qin Hao. She licked her lips:

"So you like this kind of thing. You should have said so earlier, I like it too..."
