After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"She has only half of the original essence of the Dharma that was taken from her."

Zhou Ran raised her eyelids.

Explain yourself.

Akaki grinned, gray blood seeping from between his teeth.

"The Moon Emperor left behind two Eye Sources."

"A seed buried in the present world, awakened through Lin Qingxue's Dharma eyes."

"The other one is sealed in the right hand and preserved near the place where cause and effect are severed."

"You call it the second law."

Akaki paused for a moment, his silver eyes pressed against Zhou Ran.

"I prefer to call it God's spare eye."

Zhou Ran felt a burning sensation on the gray lines on his chest, and a pricking, restless feeling emanated from beneath his skin.

Lin Qingxue's eyes still have a way to go.

Heavenly Corpse Right Hand

Xu Youwei's intrusion here wasn't entirely a suicide mission. She used the old, silver-eyed soul within her to navigate in reverse, hoping to find a backup source of vision.

If she loses the bet, she will be devoured by the Moon Emperor's right hand.

If she wins the bet, Lin Qingxue's legal issues can be remedied.

A fierce glint appeared in Zhou Ran's eyes.

One by one, they all learned to gamble with their lives behind his back.

Akaki raised a finger.

"Give me the Taihuang Black Blade."

"I'll tell you the coordinates of the well in the palmar ulcer."

Zhou Ran looked at him.

"You want a knife?"

"right."

Akaki's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed greed, yet also with a hint of apprehension towards the sword.

"This knife has been wasted in your hands."

"Ye Futian used it to sever the karma of his right hand back then."

"The Moon Emperor has been searching for 30,000 years."

"Hand over the knife, and I'll let you take Xu Youwei away."

Zhou Ran asked, "Where are Lin Qingxue's eyes?"

Akaki laughed out loud.

"That depends on what you do next."

Zhou Ran smiled too.

He suddenly plunged the Taihuang Black Blade into the ground.

clang.

The black knife pierced the gray-white bone layer, and the hilt trembled slightly.

Akaki's silver eyes lit up.

Zhou Ran loosened the hilt of the knife and walked towards him empty-handed.

In his mind's eye, Ye Futian cursed, "What's wrong with you now, you brat?"

Zhou Ran said, "He's afraid of knives."

Ye Futian did not respond.

Zhou Ran continued forward.

"He's not afraid of me."

"Then let him get to know you again."

Akaki didn't rush to make a move.

He stared at Zhou Ran's empty right hand, then glanced at the Taihuang Black Blade stuck in the ground.

Three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Akaki finally smiled and showed his teeth.

"You're much dumber than Ye Futian."

He clasped his hands together.

boom!

The entire gray-white battlefield lit up with silver array patterns.

The demonic runes on the chests of hundreds of headless demonic corpses were forcibly altered, and the remnant souls of the kneeling corpses were extracted by the array runes, transforming into dark red chains that headed straight for Zhou Ran's dantian.

These chains do not harm the body.

They want to lock up the nascent soul.

Akagi's laughter drowned out the cracking sound of the bone tower.

"You really think I'm going to use a knife?"

"What I truly want is the gray markings on your nascent soul!"

"The Primordial Black Blade can sever cause and effect; holding it in your hand is like burning your soul."

"You are the key."

"You are the living key that the Moon Emperor has been waiting for for 30,000 years!"

Dark red chains bound Zhou Ran's limbs, while more chains pierced his lower abdomen, with fine barbs protruding from the chain ends, aiming directly at the Nascent Soul within his dantian.

Zhou Ran stood still.

Akagi's eyes shone brightly with silver light.

"Kneel down!"

Beneath the gray earth, all the nerves in his right hand lit up, and the traction force pressed down on Zhou Ran, even causing the broken bones at the edge of the battlefield to tilt towards him.

Zhou Ran looked up.

"You overlooked one thing."

Akaki lowered his brow.

"What?"

Zhou Ran raised his hand and grabbed a dark red chain.

"These remnant souls."

"Whom do we acknowledge as our master?"

The Akagi noodles are tightened.

Within Zhou Ran's dantian, the Nascent Soul stood up.

All six gray stripes are bright.

Black and gold demonic patterns spread from Zhou Ran's chest, pressing down on the silver array patterns beneath his feet.

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

"This formation recognizes its master."

A ring of black and gold ripples immediately rippled across the battlefield.

All the dark red chains stopped in mid-air.

The next instant, the chains turned around.

One after another.

Hundreds of chains were removed from Zhou Ran's body, and he counterattacked Chi Qi.

Akaki's silver eyes narrowed, and a low growl escaped his throat.

"This shouldn't be happening!"

"I've nailed their heads to the bone tower!"

"Their lingering souls have been cleansed by the nerves in their right hand for 30,000 years!"

"Why should they still accept the Demon Emperor's decree?!"

Zhou Ran approached empty-handed.

Chains bound Akaki's arms, neck, chest, and soul shell, while dark red demonic fire slithered into his body along the chains.

Zhou Ran raised his fist.

On the fist, the primordial blood and qi intertwined with the purple-gold law.

"Because dogs don't understand loyalty."

A punch landed.

boom!

Half of Akagi's soul shell shattered on the spot, and silver-gray blood splattered onto the bone tower, where it was burned into black smoke by the dark red chains.

Akaki hissed.

A nerve in his right hand emerged from the depths of the bone tower, coiling around his back, trying to drag him back.

Zhou Ran reached out and grabbed his neck, pressing his five fingers into the crack in the soul shell.

Where is Hsu Yu-wei?

Half of Akaki's face was shattered, and fear finally showed in his silver eyes.

"You can't kill me..."

"I am the right-hand corpse guardian..."

"Once I die, the Severed Hand Bone Well will close..."

Zhou Ran said, "Then let's speak quickly before it's closed."

Akaki gritted his teeth.

Zhou Ran increased the pressure with his five fingers, and the cracks in his soul shell crawled up his chest.

Akaki couldn't help but roar.

"A well of broken palm bones!"

"On the third joint of the ring finger!"

"She was taken away by Silver Eyes!"

"The second Dharma is hidden there!"

Zhou Ran's eyes darkened.

The third segment of the ring finger.

The Heavenly Corpse's right hand has five fingers, each representing an independent plane.

The ring finger represents contracts, entanglements, and old vows.

The Moon Emperor hiding the backup source of vision in that place was quite in line with her intentions.

Zhou Ran asked, "How do we open the entrance?"

Akaki, his mouth full of gray blood dripping down, laughed again.

"It can't be opened."

Zhou Ran squinted.

Akaki's voice was hoarse.

"When she went in, the Bone Well had already recognized its master."

"The person I'm recognizing isn't Hsu Yu-Wei."

"It's that silver eye inside her body."

"If you rush over now, you'll only see her hand grow into the Moon Emperor's."

Zhou Ran said, "I'm asking about the entrance."

Akaki stared at him, then suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"You still want to save her?"

"Too late!"

"She's already starting to grow the Moon Emperor's hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver nerves within Akaki's body self-destructed.

The bone tower shattered, and hundreds of demon heads rolled all over the ground, with dust and broken bones scattering in all directions.

Zhou Ran raised his arm to block the impact.

After the dust settled, only half of Akaki's soul remained, pinned to the ground by dark red chains, not yet completely dead.

Zhou Ran walked up to him.

Akaki was panting, his breath punctuated with blood and foam.

"key……"

"You can't win..."

"My right hand... will hold yours..."

Zhou Ran bent down and picked up a demon's head.

The skull and eye sockets were hollowed out, the gray lines around the mouth and nose were broken, and the remnant soul's demonic fire was still flickering inside the skull.

Zhou Ran placed the head back on the neck of the nearest headless demon corpse.

Click.

The head is back in place.

The demonic runes on the demonic corpse's chest lit up.

The second one.

The third one.

Dark red demonic runes ignited one after another on the chests of hundreds of demonic corpses.

Akaki's laughter stopped abruptly in his throat.

Zhou Ran looked at him.

"You've been guarding a corpse for 30,000 years."

"I don't even understand why they're kneeling."

Akaki's lips trembled.

"you……"

Zhou Ran raised his hand.

They didn't greet me.

"They are waiting for military orders."

He turned around and faced hundreds of demonic corpses.

The sound echoed across the gray battlefield.

"The personal guards of the lower six heavens."

"Return to the team."

boom!

Hundreds of demonic corpses stood up simultaneously.
