The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Feng Yu was in a great mood and forgot his preconceived notion that he would be abandoned. He let Shen Yao shake his arm and looked at him with doting eyes: "Yan Zhou is really amazing."

It had been a long time since she had looked him in the eye properly. Looking into Feng Yu's eyes, which were still the same as before, Shen Yao's heart stirred. She tiptoed and kissed him through his mask, but it wasn't enough, so she leaned over his shoulder and kissed him again… and then another…

Huo Die: "Ahem, alright, Dad's still here."

Compared to Feng Yu and Shen Yao's smooth sailing, Hu Yawu ran around in circles chasing thorns.

The thorn was very fast, as if it was deliberately toying with him. Every time Hu Yawu couldn't catch up and stopped, the thorn would fly back and poke him before continuing to run.

Hu Yawu was flung up and down by the thorns. He hadn't been teased like this in hundreds of years, and the one teasing him was a short sword!

Hu Yawu was persistent and driven by his competitive spirit to take down this thorn in his side!

At the speed of the thorns, setting up a forbidden realm would definitely be too late.

He took out some small chess pieces and threw them as he chased after the enemy.

Shen Yao: "What is he doing?"

Feng Yu: "He's setting up a chess formation."

Setting up a chess formation? That sounds interesting.

The black and white chess pieces on the ground were placed at equal intervals, and Hu Yawu used the ground as a chessboard.

The floor of the entire four rooms was soon covered with black and white chess pieces.

Shen Yao didn't understand chess and was completely confused by what she saw.

The chess formation slowly started, and black light emanated from the black pieces. The light expanded and connected with each other, dividing the chessboard into many black spaces.

The thorns can only move within the white stones' territory. As the black stones begin to move, the white stones are gradually swallowed up by the black space.

Finally, the thorn was forced into a corner and could no longer escape.

Hu Yawu laughed triumphantly and grabbed the thorn: "Do you submit or not?"

The thorn struggled desperately, trying to escape.

It struggled fiercely, so Hu Yawu let go. The thorn flew around wildly in the narrow corner a few times before Hu Yawu grabbed it again: "Hahahaha, do you submit?"

After repeating this process many times, the thorn finally obeyed, and the golden light gradually returned, gathering on the inscription on the sword hilt.

But the thorns did not acknowledge him as their master.

Hu Yawu didn't care. He used the spirit rope to bind the thorns and put them into his storage ring.

In the middle of the platform, there is still a black scroll that is glowing with gold.

Huo Die used his divine sense to probe it, and the black scroll turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Huo Die: "It was just an illusion."

However, they were not disappointed. All six divine-level spiritual weapons were subdued, which was a great harvest, and everyone was very satisfied.

Huo Die's divine sense probed the passageway from the fourth room to the fifth room.

Compared to the previous passage, this passage looked quite ordinary.

What seems ordinary is actually abnormal.

Huo Die: "Go in at a low altitude, don't land."

Si Xiu carefully entered and safely arrived at the door of Room 5.

It really is just an ordinary passageway.

The door to the fifth room was made of a single piece of black stone. Feng Yu stroked the stone door and probed it with her spiritual treasure: "I have never seen this kind of stone before."

Huo Die: "This is obsidian, which has the effect of suppressing malevolent energy."

Shen Yao: "Obsidian? Isn't that a stone from Earth?"

Huo Die: "It's not just on Earth, it exists in many worlds."

Shen Yao touched the stone door with curiosity. If it weren't for the fact that the stone door was made of a different material than the surrounding walls, you really wouldn't be able to tell that there was a door here.

Feng Yu explored for a long time, searching every passage, but found no mechanism.

Shen Yao recalled the massive bronze gate of the Street of the Wrongfully Dead when she first entered the secret realm, which only her spiritual sense could open. So she released her spiritual sense to approach the stone gate and probe it.

When her spiritual sense touched the stone gate, the stone gate instantly transformed into a palm-sized stone tablet, which flew into her hand.

She held the stone tablet, stunned: "It really has something to do with me?"

She looked at Huo Die with a complicated expression: "Father, can you explain this to me?"

Huo Die said frankly, "It's probably a magical artifact you made in one of your past lives that was accidentally obtained by the cultivators who built the underground palace."

Shen Yao frowned deeply. Why didn't she believe it?

"Father, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Huo Die: "Daughter, your father has never lied to you."

That's true. After all these years in this world, if it weren't for this cheap father protecting her, she would have died long ago.

Her father died young in her previous life, but at least she has a father in this life. She didn't want to have any grudges against Huo Diesen: "Let's not think about it anymore, let's go in."

The steps to the fifth chamber were very long, and the steps were covered with chains. The chains from all directions pierced through the Blood Demon's body and locked him in the cage in the fifth chamber.

Blood worms kept floating out of the Blood Demon's body. The iron cage must have some kind of restriction, because the blood worms couldn't fly out of the cage. Instead, they crawled down the cage bars and burrowed under the Blood Demon's knees.

The Blood Demon lowered its head, and as they approached, it slowly raised its head, its disheveled hair falling behind it, revealing its faceless body.

It had no eyes, but everyone could feel that it was staring directly at Shen Yao with intense and terrifying emotions.

Its weak voice was like a sob: "Master...you've finally...come to kill me..."

Feng Yu pulled Shen Yao behind her, completely blocking her, and said to the Blood Demon decisively, "You've made a mistake."

"Hahahahaha..." The Blood Demon let out a bitter laugh. Shen Yao felt its gaze was looking at her through Feng Yu's body.

The Blood Demon's voice pierced through the iron cage, whispering in her ear as he pleaded, "Master...did I admit my mistake?"

Shen Yao was startled and shouted to bolster her courage, "You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Two lines of blood tears flowed from the eyes of the Blood Demon's face, which had no facial features.

Many bloodworms crawled out from the blood and tears, following its body and burrowing into the bottom of its knees.

"He's good at bewitching hearts, so don't waste your breath on him." Huo Die released divine fire, which passed through the iron cage's restrictions and ignited the blood demon. The blood worms inside the cage hissed as they burned.

The Blood Demon was burned to ashes in the divine fire.

There wasn't a single ash in the cage.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered a very small hole at the bottom of the iron cage. It seemed that the bloodworms outside were released by the Blood Demon and escaped through this small hole.

Hu Yawu: "No wonder there are so many bloodworms outside. Old Man Huo, I wonder how many of these worms there are. They even managed to escape from the secret realm."

Huo Die: "After we get out, I will set up a divine fire array at the entrance and exit of the secret realm. They won't survive if they try to escape."

Hu Yawu: "It's good that there's a way. Old Man Huo is very righteous."

"Hmph." The Blood Demon's soft hum came from inside the iron cage again.

The cultivators took a step back, and the alarm bells rang loudly.

A cloud of black mist appeared in the iron cage. The chains of the five chambers quickly pierced through the black mist, forcing it to take shape and transform into a locked-up blood demon.

Blood Demon's flat face was turned towards Huo Die: "You want to kill me? You're not worthy!"

Hu Yawu and Feng Yu released their spiritual fire at the same time, but the fire was extinguished as soon as it touched the iron cage, making it impossible for them to enter.

Huo Die's gaze towards the Blood Demon became more serious: "You're actually a god too?"

He stared at the Blood Demon, his fingers constantly calculating behind his back: "No, you are just a wisp of a god's consciousness."
