The group of demons originally thought that capturing Yi Shuihan would be a piece of cake, an extremely easy task. However, they soon realized how troublesome he was once they started fighting. His strength was superior to theirs, his speed was faster, and he also had a strange technique that forced them to use close combat. Forget about capturing him alive, even injuring him was extremely difficult.
Facing thirteen opponents, Yi Shuihan, though not in a dominant position, was not entirely on the defensive. Both sides exchanged blows, and the fight was incredibly intense.
It's fortunate that this pyramid was built with special materials, otherwise it would have been destroyed in their battle long ago.
"This kid's aura is so familiar; I've been here before."
The Corruption Demon observed Yi Shuihan calmly from within the seal, not taking Yi Shuihan's displayed strength seriously. If he were willing to pay a certain price, it wouldn't be a problem to create more Chaos Emperor-level demons.
The battle was intense, with tens of thousands of exchanges occurring almost in an instant. Afterimages could be seen everywhere in the confined space, some even overlapping hundreds of times.
The Corrupting Demon has absolute control over these demons; they will carry out its orders even at the cost of their lives.
Realizing that conventional methods were ineffective, these demons launched a suicidal attack, completely abandoning defense and disregarding the risk of friendly fire.
After paying a price, Yi Shuihan finally killed the first Chaos Emperor-level demon, then the second, the third...
"...Huff...Huff..."
After killing eight Chaos Emperor-level demons, Yi Shuihan was also greatly exhausted and began to pant slightly.
If things continued like this, it was entirely possible that Yi Shuihan could kill all of these Chaos Emperor-level demons. However, Yi Shuihan did not do so. Instead, he chose to retreat and escape towards the outside of the pyramid.
Yi Shuihan was very clear-headed. The biggest threat here was still the Corruption Demon that was sealed away. He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be ambushed.
Chapter 1337, Reunion
"Run? Do you think you can escape?"
The Corruption Demon's eyes were fixed on the direction Yi Shuihan had left, and a series of eerie fluctuations emanated from its body.
The inky black aura from tens of thousands of miles around suddenly began to converge on the pyramid, transforming into a huge cage that completely surrounded it.
When Yi Shuihan rushed out of the pyramid, what he saw was a dark black wall blocking his way.
A powerful blow struck it, and the wall rippled like flowing water, but ultimately it did not break.
"Now we're in trouble."
After failing to breach the dark wall several times, the pursuers behind him had reached Yi Shuihan, forcing him to fight again.
The inky black wall is several meters thick. After it was formed, a continuous stream of inky black energy returned from the outside. The demons that hadn't gone far also entered the wall one by one, turning back into inky black energy to reinforce it.
As time goes by, the inky black wall will become increasingly difficult to break through, and Yi Shuihan will become trapped, forced to confront the Corrosion Demon directly.
"It must be decided quickly."
Yi Shuihan's spiritual senses kept warning him, making him aware of his predicament.
A decisive glint flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes as he began to draw upon the primal power of his personal world. Instantly, his combat power surged, and he quickly sent the pursuing demons flying.
Extracting the power of origin is different from empowering the power of the world. Both will cause some damage to the personal world. If too much origin is extracted, the personal world will also drop in level. Unless necessary, Yi Shuihan will not do such a short-sighted thing.
The massive extraction of primordial power significantly reduced the concentration of spiritual energy in the portable world, causing all life forms within it to feel uneasy and restless.
Yi Shuihan's wives all looked worried and prayed for him.
"Brother Yi, you must be alright!"
"No, he's so wicked, he won't die so easily."
"Damn it, next time he comes we must teach him a lesson. Sisters, let's all gang up on him and make sure he can't stand up for a month."
"..."
Outside, Yi Shuihan relentlessly bombarded the black wall, each time hitting the same spot.
"Break it for me!"
With a loud shout, Yi Shuihan unleashed the strongest attack of his life, finally creating a fist-sized gap in the dark wall, which was rapidly shrinking.
With a shift in his form, Yi Shuihan passed through the gap, which then disappeared after he had passed through.
Without looking back, Yi Shuihan moved away from the pyramid at top speed and hid himself. The Corruption Demon could detect his presence, but ordinary demons, and even Chaos Emperor-level demons, could not easily detect him.
The Corruption Demon has not yet completely broken the seal, and its influence is limited. As long as it is a certain distance away, it will not be able to detect Yi Shuihan.
......
"What a huge loss! If we let it recover on its own, it would take at least a million years to regain its strength."
After checking the status of his portable world, Yi Shuihan smiled bitterly. He had underestimated the Corruption Demon's methods and paid the price for it.
"Go pick up Taiyi, then go out and inform that group of Chaos Emperors. This matter is no longer something I can handle alone."
Even if he could handle it, it would definitely not be easy. Rather than being a hero who saves the world, Yi Shuihan prefers to be a bystander watching from behind the hero and cheering "666".
Because of the Corruption Demon, Yi Shuihan suffered losses, so revenge is a must. Given the chance, Yi Shuihan will make the Corruption Demon know how terrible it is to mess with him.
Two years later, Yi Shuihan finally reunited with Taiyi and Dudu.
"Why are there two older brothers?"
Dudu looked puzzled the moment she saw Yi Shuihan, glancing back and forth between Yi Shuihan and Taiyi.
Yi Shuihan looked at Dudu with considerable surprise. From Dudu's reaction, it was clear that Dudu vaguely understood his relationship with Taiyi. Even the group of Chaos Emperors outside hadn't figured it out.
"He is me, and I am him."
Yi Shuihan smiled and explained, and Dudu responded with a nod that seemed to understand but not quite.
"Two big brothers and one big brother, it seems like two big brothers are better," Dudu muttered softly, clutching her plush doll.
When leaving the palace, Dudu took the rag doll with her at Taiyi's request. Taiyi promised that the rag doll would not get dirty even outside, and if it did, he would take responsibility for cleaning it up.
"That's what's good for the system."
Taiyi took out the magical stone he had obtained from the palace.
"Be careful, it's a bit heavy."
The reminder was a little too late; Yi Shuihan had already made a fool of himself. He took the stone and, due to its weight, bent over and fell over almost immediately.
"You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
"How could that be? I am you, why would I dig my own grave?"
As the original body, Yi Shuihan could know everything Tai Yi had experienced if he wanted to. However, he usually only needed to get a general idea of the information and wouldn't pay special attention to the small details. After all, even clones have human rights. Moreover, due to the special environment inside the palace, he couldn't perceive what exactly happened.
Yi Shuihan couldn't possibly argue with his own clone, so after glaring fiercely at Taiyi, he focused his attention on the stone in his hand.
The system notifications kept ringing, urging Yi Shuihan to hand over the items quickly.
"What exactly is this thing? It actually possesses power that even the system desires."
Curiosity was a given, so Yi Shuihan was completely focused on sensing the stone in his hand.
A moment later, Yi Shuihan's expression changed slightly, his eyes showing a mixture of confusion and uncertainty.
"Holy Spirit? I have an idea. Could this stone be the source of the special effects of the chaotic energy in this secret realm?"
"You have a good idea."
"Is that true or not?"
"That's right, just as the host thought. This stone is the source. Without it, this secret realm is no different from an ordinary secret realm."
At this moment, Yi Shuihan suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly snatched away a group of potential emperors.
He didn't rob much at the Fountain of Satisfaction, which earned him a lot of goodwill from the quasi-emperors. If they knew what Yi Shuihan was doing now, that goodwill would probably turn into complete hostility.
Chapter 1338, A "Disheveled" Escape
The system gave a brief overview of the stone's information and the conditions under which it was formed, allowing Yi Shuihan to further understand its preciousness.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. The more you know, the more it hurts. Just take it!"
Indeed, no matter how good the product is, the final result can only be handed over to the system, so it's better not to know!
In a flash of light, Yi Shuihan felt a lightness in his hand; the stone had vanished.
At the same time, the Holy Spirit told Yi Shuihan that the system had entered an update state and would devote all its energy to it. During this period, Yi Shuihan should not disturb it.
"Thankfully, it wasn't one of those ridiculous outright maintenance shutdowns. It really is my good system."
I'm looking forward to what changes the system will bring after this update, because my frustration with the Corruption Demon has improved a lot.
"Then I'll be going now. You can decide for yourself what to do next."
After giving instructions to his clone, Yi Shuihan took out a lot of delicious food and fun toys from his personal space and gave them to Dudu. Finally, he left under Dudu's reluctant gaze.
Taiyi led Dudu away from the evil spirits and moved towards the group of quasi-emperors. If those familiar quasi-emperors were surrounded, he hoped he could help them.
As for Yi Shuihan himself, he was already rushing towards the entrance of the secret realm to fetch reinforcements.
On the way to the entrance of the secret realm, Yi Shuihan also encountered many difficulties. It seemed that the Corruption Demon did not want him to leak the news, so it placed a large number of evil demons on the road to the entrance of the secret realm, including many evil demons of the Chaos Emperor level.
However, Yi Shuihan's concealment skills were not to be underestimated, making it extremely difficult for these demons to discover him. In the end, Yi Shuihan managed to successfully reach a place not far from the entrance of the secret realm.
At the entrance to the secret realm, there are naturally even more demons. There are 15 Chaos Kings guarding this place alone, which is more than at the pyramid. It's simply outrageous.
If it were just a matter of sheer numbers, that would be one thing. The most crucial thing is that these demons used a comprehensive blockade, setting up layers of defense around the secret realm. They even built a wall with their own bodies, so that anyone wanting to pass through the entrance had to go through this wall.
It's practically impossible to pass through this wall of bodies silently. Even if you do manage to get through, you'll still be met with 20 Chaos Emperor-level demons. This setup is utterly hopeless.
"This is going to make me work my butt off!"
Yi Shuihan gritted his teeth and stared in the direction of the entrance to the secret realm, adding another entry to the list of corrupting demons in his mental notebook.
After observing for several days, Yi Shuihan decided to force a breakthrough. He didn't have time to waste any more time, because the longer he waited, the stronger the demonic forces would become.
After a breakthrough is selected, the 20 Chaos Emperors will have to rush to the place with the longest time to break through. Of course, this longest time is actually within a 1-second range.
In order to buy as much time as possible, Yi Shuihan did not dispel his concealment even when he arrived next to the wall of his body. He began to gather energy and only revealed himself completely when the attack was truly released.
The attack annihilated tens of thousands of demons, just enough to pierce through the wall of his body, and also alerted those demons at the Chaos Emperor level.
"kill him!"
"We absolutely cannot allow him to rush out."
"Use your self-destruct to stall him."
Simple sound transmission speed is not as fast as Yi Shuihan's movements. However, these demons use a special channel. When Yi Shuihan had only gone halfway through the passage, the surrounding demons exploded instantly. The explosion of the quasi-emperor could not harm Yi Shuihan, the Chaos Emperor, but it could delay Yi Shuihan for a moment.
The violent shockwave affected Yi Shuihan's speed. He had calculated that he would only face 3 to 5 Chaos Emperor Demons when he went out, but now there were 9.
Without hesitation, Yi Shuihan drew upon the power of his personal world's origin, breaking through the defenses at the cost of minor injuries.
The demons underestimated Yi Shuihan, or rather, the Corruption Demons underestimated Yi Shuihan. They probably thought that Yi Shuihan's outburst was a secret technique that could not be used again for a short period of time after it was used. Of course, it is also possible that the Corruption Demons' power was limited, and even if they knew this, they could not eliminate more power to stop Yi Shuihan.
Just before charging into the entrance of the secret realm, Yi Shuihan used a little trick to make himself look more imposing, feigning misery so he could eventually get something in return.
Outside the secret realm, the Chaos Emperors who brought Yi Shuihan and the others, who were quasi-emperors, were all in their own territories, whether in palaces, magical treasures, or flying boats—all sorts of spiritual treasures—and were quite far from the entrance. In short, the location of the entrance was somewhat awkward, and staying here for a long time would be a thankless task.
The sudden fluctuation at the entrance was instantly sensed by all the Chaos Emperors, who then transformed into streaks of light and appeared in front of it.
"What's going on? It's not time yet!"
"Could it be that someone broke through in such a short time?!"
"I think something bad must have happened."
The exchange of thoughts was extremely rapid. In just a short while, the Chaos Emperors had already held a meeting, and even discussed various emergency measures.
A figure flew out from the entrance of the secret realm; it was Yi Shuihan.
"There's...pfft...danger!"
Yi Shuihan looked disheveled, as if he had just come from a refugee camp, covered in blood and extremely weak.
He even coughed up a mouthful of blood while speaking, his eyes practically glued to the screen.
"Isn't that Yi Shuihan? The one who came in first place in the school competition, and also one of the most likely to break through this time."
"Quickly save him. He seems to be seriously injured and unable to resist the black hole's pull."
"Bring out all the healing medicine you have, stabilize his injuries first, and then listen to what he has to say about what happened in the secret realm."
After recognizing Yi Shuihan, the True Eye Emperor was the fastest to act. Without the other Chaos Emperors needing to speak, he had already taken action and moved Yi Shuihan out of the black hole's gravitational pull.
"Come on, eat it quickly."
He took out a fragrant pill and, without saying a word, stuffed it into Yi Shuihan's mouth.
"Huh? The effect is actually so good!"
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Yi Shuihan felt comfortable all over. His minor injuries were instantly healed, and only a small portion of the medicinal power was consumed. It was obvious that the pill was extraordinary and very useful even to a Chaos Emperor-level expert. The True Eye Emperor was really generous.
