If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

Now is not the time for sadness.

Tears are the cheapest liquid in this place.

He began to quickly examine his own condition.

The divine sense is contained within.

In an instant, Mo Chengyue "saw" a scene that shocked even himself.

The once fragile dantian has vanished.

A "mutated golden pill" that is slowly rotating.

This golden core did not possess the dazzling golden luster of ordinary cultivators.

Instead, it presents an extreme black and white color scheme, resembling a miniature yin-yang symbol.

Endless life.

An endless stream.

"Is this the ancient method of elixirs?"

"This thing is like a nuclear reactor when it's spinning."

Mo Chengyue was secretly alarmed.

What made his scalp tingle even more was...

At the core intersection of this black and white golden core, something else was lurking.

A thin wisp of gray lightning.

That was the remnant of the last extraterrestrial lightning strike.

It was originally intended to eliminate Mo Chengyue.

At this moment, however, he is a well-fed and well-hydrated child, tightly sealed in the center of his golden core by that mysterious scrap metal mark.

Even if it's just a gentle touch with one's divine sense.

Mo Chengyue even had a terrifying illusion that his soul was about to be "annihilated".

"Goodness."

"There's a time bomb inside him."

Mo Chengyue was not afraid at all; instead, he let out a cold laugh in his heart.

This is a trump card.

A trump card that will flip the table.

This bolt of lightning carries the law of "absolute destruction".

If anyone pushes him too far...

He'd dare to spit this thing out and we'd all be done with it.

Having confirmed the foundation of his power, Mo Chengyue decided to test the quality of this new body.

He tried to mobilize a trace of the power of the Golden Core.

It was merely a slight thought.

The spiritual energy surging through the meridians roared like the Yangtze River.

That feeling of fullness is more than a hundred times that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He flicked his finger slightly.

No magic was used, nor was any incantation uttered.

It relies solely on physical strength and the surge of true energy.

"call out!"

A wisp of extremely fine wind shot out.

Ten meters away.

A hard stalactite silently gained a hole that was transparent from front to back.

The cut is as smooth as a mirror.

It even exhibits a strange crystallization state due to the instantaneous high temperature.

"Tsk."

"Does this count as illegal possession of a controlled knife?"

Mo Chengyue mentally gave this body a perfect score.

The absolute sense of control over the power finally put his mind at ease.

In this cannibalistic ruin...

Only those with strong fists have the right to reason.

They are also qualified to fulfill that promise.

Mo Chengyue slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, a flash of black and white light disappeared.

It then quickly disappeared, reverting to its usual seemingly harmless, deep black eyes.

He did it immediately.

He met Jin Qiaoqiao's gaze from not far away.

Eyes facing each other.

Jin Qiaoqiao's eyes were very complicated.

The absolute obedience and fear that I felt when I was forced to call him "master" were gone.

In those beautiful phoenix eyes, Mo Chengyue detected a mixture of surprise and apprehension.

And the balance and alienation that are growing wildly in the four directions.

As a master of "the way of survival" who grew up in a place like the Hehuan Sect, a place full of shrewd people.

Mo Chengyue was all too familiar with that look.

That's a sign that the "tool" is trying to break free from control.

That was the look in Party B's eyes, as if they felt Party A was useless and wanted to unilaterally break the contract.

Jin Qiaoqiao didn't need to say anything.

Mo Chengyue's brain instantly completed the logical deduction.

The reason why the previous contract was unbreakable.

It's because he's dying.

That was his life-sucking survival mechanism activated when he was on the verge of death, forcibly binding himself to the life of the great demon.

just now.

He not only survived, but also formed an ancient golden elixir.

The balance of power between the master and the servant was completely broken.

He no longer needs to rely on sucking Jin Qiaoqiao's blood to prolong his life.

The core binding force of that reverse master-servant contract, which is based on "sharing life and death," will inevitably be greatly reduced.

For a proud peacock princess like Jin Qiaoqiao.

Once the vulnerability "I may not die" is discovered.

That desire to part ways is something you can't stop.

"Oh."

"Trying to run away?"

Mo Chengyue knew everything perfectly well, but he remained outwardly calm.

He didn't point it out.

He simply sat up from the ground calmly.

The ash from his body fell off in a flurry.

Mo Chengyue took out a brand new blue robe from his storage ring.

He put it on slowly and deliberately.

The movements were graceful.

He straightened his sleeves and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

He didn't say a word throughout the entire process.

However, he did not deliberately conceal the pressure of his newly advanced ancient Golden Core technique.

Dark gold lightning patterns shimmered faintly beneath the skin.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the level of life itself made the air inside the cave incredibly viscous.

Jin Qiaoqiao was originally preparing to speak and test the waters.

I felt a tightness in my throat for no reason.

She opened her mouth, only to find herself completely overwhelmed by the man's aura.

Just a few days ago, this was an ant that she could crush with a flick of her wrist.

But now.

The way the man was getting dressed made her feel threatened.

That is the absolute confidence a hunter has when facing prey that is about to go berserk.

Mo Chengyue fastened the last belt.

He looked up and smiled at the Peacock Princess.

There was no warmth in his smile, only a knowing mockery.

"What's wrong?"

"Does Your Highness not recognize me?"

Or perhaps...

Jin Qiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat.

The air inside the cave became extremely oppressive.

Mo Chengyue's eyes were full of mockery.

That gaze pierced straight into the depths of Jin Qiaoqiao's heart.

Jin Qiaoqiao's heart suddenly tightened.

The sense of alienation that was growing was completely seen through.

She forced herself to calm down.

She gave a deliberately arrogant snort.

He turned his face away to avoid being examined.

He was trying to use this awkward method to cover up his inner panic.

Mo Chengyue did not press the issue further.

He calmly withdrew the suffocating pressure of the ancient golden elixir emanating from his body.

I stood up and walked to the edge of the cave.

He carefully sensed the faint fluctuations of the old monster's divine sense emanating from outside the formation.

"There are at least five rogue cultivators at the peak of Core Formation searching the mountain."

"That yellow-feathered bird from the Roc clan will not let this go after suffering such a huge loss."

"He must have laid a trap in the core area."

"They're just waiting for us to walk right into their trap."

"Let's go out in our current half-crippled state."

"Definitely feeding the enemy kills."

Mo Chengyue stated the objective facts in a calm tone.

He turned around.

He stared directly at the voluptuous Peacock Princess.

To rationally present the core demands.

"I need to stabilize my newly advanced Golden Core realm as soon as possible."

"Eating those bitter tree roots is too slow to be effective."

"Let's begin dual cultivation immediately."

"Speed ​​up the recovery process."

Upon hearing the words "dual cultivation".

Jin Qiaoqiao felt her hair stand on end.

He immediately lost his temper.

She recalled the humiliating experience she had previously had inside the Yin-Yang Reversal Array.

And there was that incident of lips and teeth touching not long ago when I was feeding him medicine.

Her pretty face immediately turned bright red.

Her long, straight legs involuntarily took a half step back.

She struck a pose of being aloof and superior, like a peacock princess.

A firm refusal.

"Don't even think about it!"

"I will absolutely not accept such an unreasonable demand that takes advantage of my vulnerability!"
