After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

Just as Huo Yu had guessed, the person who came was none other than the true body of Changsun Ning's clone—the Six Desires Demon Lord.

The Six Desires Demon Lord surveyed the six people in the cave, who looked as if facing a formidable enemy, with a condescending air. His gaze lingered briefly on Huo Yu's face, tinged with a hint of nostalgia and amusement, before he turned without hesitation to Changsun Ning and burst into laughter:

"Haha! Not bad! You've mastered the art of love! Today is the day to reap the rewards!"

As his words fell, an overwhelming pressure instantly enveloped the entire cave, as if even the air had become viscous, causing everyone present to feel an unprecedented heavy pressure.

Under the suppression of this force, Changsun Ning felt his whole body stiffen, as if he were bound by invisible shackles, unable to move even a finger.

His gaze was fixed on the face of the Six Desires Demon Lord, which bore a striking resemblance to his own, his eyes flashing with complex and unfathomable emotions:

"You are……"

Before he could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the Six Desires Demon Lord. The latter looked at him with a half-smile, his tone tinged with mockery:

"Your true form, didn't you already have a guess about it?"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Ning clenched his teeth, the murderous intent surging in his eyes almost solidifying. However, he ultimately remained silent, but the resolve and anger in his gaze were stronger than any words could express.

The Six Desires Demon Lord paid no attention to Changsun Ning's reaction, merely coldly sweeping his gaze over Meng Xia, who was hiding behind Ning Zhaoqiu. A merciless sneer curled at the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with contempt and mockery:

"Is this your choice? It's one thing to waste your romantic talent on a woman like this, but to fail at it is utterly laughable."

As he finished speaking, Changsun Ning's expression grew increasingly gloomy, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him.

The profound meaning revealed in the Six Desires Demon Lord's words instantly turned Meng Xia's face as pale as paper. Her lips trembled, her eyes filled with shock and confusion, as if she couldn't process this sudden truth for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhaoqiu abruptly turned to look at Changsun Ning, his eyes blazing with anger, and asked through gritted teeth:

"What kind of romantic?"

Changsun Ning remained silent.

However, the only one present who could move freely seemed to deliberately provoke Changsun Ning's sore spot, and said with a leisurely smile, his tone tinged with amusement:

"What, didn't he tell you the cultivation technique he practiced? Like me, he also practices the 'Six Desires Severing Emotion Technique,' which is most adept at manipulating the seven emotions and six desires. And this 'love seed,' as the name suggests, is a spell that makes the recipient fall in love with the person designated by the caster. When the recipient's love is deeply rooted and they are unable to extricate themselves, that is the moment the love seed is perfected. At that time, the caster can devour all of the recipient's cultivation."

The Six Desires Demon Lord's words were like a venomous snake's tongue, each syllable as icy as a spike, carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine. As he explained in great detail, Meng Xia's face grew paler and paler, as if all the blood in her body had been instantly drained away.

She finally understood why, from the moment she saw Changsun Ning, she felt that his figure was the only thing left in the whole world.

It wasn't until earlier, in the fourth level, when Changsun Ning faced a life-or-death crisis, that she realized she had been tricked into being used and discarded at will.

It was as if a layer of illusory mist had been suddenly torn apart, and the image of Changsun Ning in her eyes instantly collapsed. Every movement and every expression of his became so unfamiliar and indifferent, no longer able to stir her heartstrings in the slightest.

It turns out that the deep affection she once indulged in, which she thought was a willing sacrifice, was nothing more than a deception called "love at first sight."

At this moment, Ning Zhaoqiu's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it, and there was a hint of anger surging in his eyes.

His first reaction was to turn and look at Mu Chuyang beside him, his voice low and suppressed:

"You know about this?"

Mu Chuyang gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, and spoke with a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation:

"We have known each other for nearly a hundred years, and it is only today that I have learned about the cultivation method that Brother Changsun practices."

The Six Desires Demon Lord's gaze swept over the two, easily capturing the emotions surging between them. He then turned his gaze to Changsun Ning, whose expression was inscrutable, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"If you had placed your affections on either of these two people, you would have already entered the Nascent Soul stage by now."

Seeing Changsun Ning's even paler complexion, the Six Desires Demon Lord's smile deepened, and he continued leisurely:

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although using love to break through the bottleneck is now impossible, the reason I'm here today is to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—one that most people will never experience in their entire lives."

Having said that, the Six Desires Demon Lord's gaze slowly turned to Huo Yu, who had remained silent all along. A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly:

"She bears a slight resemblance to Lian'er... I wonder how much of the credit for my clone's ability to cultivate the seed of love in such a short time is due to the seed of love itself, and how much is due to this face?"

His voice was soft, but clear enough for everyone present to hear.

Huo Yu did not react to what he said, but Long Yucheng behind him stared at the Six Desires Demon Lord with a wary expression.

When this person appeared, the pressure he brought far surpassed that of Changsun Ning, and for some reason, the way this person looked at Huo Yu made Long Yucheng's heart alarm bells ring.

His thoughts raced like lightning as he rapidly analyzed the current situation in his mind while simultaneously scrolling through the system shop interface, searching for an item that could help him and his senior brother escape danger.

The Six Desires Demon Lord seemed unconcerned about Huo Yu's reaction. His gaze returned to Changsun Ning, his tone carrying a hint of casual reassurance:

"Rest assured, even if the seed of love within you has matured, I have no intention of absorbing your cultivation. If my only desire were for your Golden Core cultivation, why would I waste my seed of love?"

Changsun Ning stared at the face before him that was so similar to his own. The familiar smile now made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a chill ran down his spine and straight to his heart.

He watched as that face slowly spoke, the voice carrying an almost morbid gentleness:

"Soon, you will personally experience the intense emotion of witnessing the love of your life being brutally murdered before your eyes. It is an indescribable feeling, which no words in the world can describe even a fraction of. Tragically, this feeling of being pushed to its extreme will only happen once in a lifetime."

A hint of nostalgia flickered in the eyes of the Six Desires Demon Lord:

"Only on the day Lian'er passed away did I experience that feeling of heart-wrenching pain, overwhelming hatred, and uncontrollable rage. In that moment of utter devastation, I actually broke through the shackles of the Nascent Soul stage."

As the words of the Six Desires Demon Lord slowly faded, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the void behind him. Four hazy figures seemed to be gently pulled out from the depths of the void by an invisible hand, gradually revealing their true forms.

Once the figures became clear, the people present were able to see their true faces—four lifeless corpses with lifelike faces but no color in them.
