How could he possibly give up?

Moreover, his Lifebound Realm Embryo was already merged within this, how could he abandon it?

At this moment, he had a feeling in his heart, only to see that deep-sea red shadow lift its head again, molten Karmic Fire breaking through the air.

Song Yan swung his sword!

Slash!

The Karmic Fire was split in two!

This time, he wasn't touched by the Karmic Fire, but the intense movement caused a splash of fresh blood from his left arm.

The Fire Demon Dragon continued its menacing claw swipe.

The fresh blood disappeared, the Fire Demon Dragon grew slightly stronger, while Song Yan weakened slightly.

Song Yan suddenly glanced at the panel, only to see the progress on the [Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction] had changed.

He had broken through the Rusted Sword Slave Courtyard behind the door in the Heart Demon Sword Prison and consolidated his Power at the Six Desires Sword Stone, thus allowing [Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction] to make a breakthrough, reaching a progress of "(30/100)".

But just being burned a little by the Karmic Fire, the progress of the [Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction] unexpectedly changed from "(30/100)" to "(29/100)".

For a moment, Song Yan was even stunned on the spot.

Because at this instant, he had already strung some information together.

"Introduction" is the Lifebound Characters of the Master of Heaven and Earth of this world;

The reason he could achieve such a physique was that he was bestowed the "Dragon Burial Law" by the Master of Heaven and Earth;

Now, his physique was damaged, and the progress on the "Introduction" character was also being damaged.

Is it possible that his body was also designed by the Master of Heaven and Earth?

Of course, it might not be, and he could be overthinking it, after all, it's his body, does he not know if there's an issue with it?

But... for someone like him, rolling in the schemes of the Ghostly Realm, anything is possible, truth and lies, who can discern them clearly?! Who can distinguish them clearly?!! Having rolled in the human world, who does not have invisible Cause and Effect sticking to them?!!

He designs others, others design him, visible ones, invisible ones, those who have appeared, those who have not yet appeared...

Countless mixed thoughts instantly surged into Song Yan's mind.

And in that instant of chaotic mind, he felt a tightness in his limbs, his peripheral vision scanned over to see four chains from the Demon Mother already locking his limbs, fixing him firmly in midair.

Among the waves of the Sea of Suffering, the next mouthful of Karmic Fire from the Fire Demon Dragon had already formed, and the surrounding seawater seemed melded like glaze, presenting a texture of ink-black clouds...

It's imaginable, with this strike, Song Yan's injuries would surely get worse.

In a flash of lightning, Song Yan's thoughts were like electricity.

He suddenly realized one thing: after slaying the Formless Ancestor and the Yin Yang Profound Dragon, he ought to have concluded the final Cause and Effect, and his comprehension of the "Lifebound Realm" indeed deepened significantly.

But...

It's merely deepened.

"Lifebound Characters" ought to be unique, as it is life's bound.

His Lifebound Realm, bluntly, was "Freedom".

But, is he truly free?

Song Yan's peripheral vision scanned around him, the patterns on his body were complex and chaotic, seeming to hint at something, suggesting something.

The next instant...

The waves of the Sea of Suffering turned into a black rainbow, sweeping out from the Fire Demon Dragon's mouth, heading straight towards him.

Determination flashed through Song Yan's pupils, his body spun sharply, the immense force dragging the Demon Mother suspended mid-air into a dance.

The Demon Mother hurriedly released the chains, watching the young man covered in blood grip his sword with both hands, slashing straight at the Karmic Fire.

Boom!

The Karmic Fire split again.

Song Yan passed through the fire, his injuries worsened, blood flowed even more, and the progress of the [Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction] retreated increasingly fiercely.

This time, he exerted too much force, plunging directly into the sea, fortunately, the Profound Dragon Sword was also a Divine Thought sword, at this moment forming a Divine Thought shield, blocking each emerging obsession from the Sea of Suffering.

After the Demon Mother retracted the chains, she quickly focused on the ocean's movements, simultaneously manipulating the Demon Infant to grab the fishing net and sweep it towards Song Yan in the sea.

Swish!

The Demon Infant caught nothing.

This did not surprise the Demon Mother.

But what astonished the Demon Mother was that Song Yan did not emerge from the sea.

On the other side, as the Fire Demon Dragon was preparing to exhale a second mouthful of Karmic Fire after finishing one, it also discovered this anomaly.

Its Karmic Fire burns using obsessions as fuel, but how many obsessions are there in the sea, hence... its Karmic Fire cannot be used in the sea.

But, who, while crossing the sea, dives into it?

Since the birth of this world, such an event has never occurred.

Isn't this madness?

Both the Fire Demon Dragon and the Demon Mother paused in astonishment, then swiftly searched for Song Yan's whereabouts.

In the gaze of both, the human who had gone mad already descended to extremely deep places while they were caught off guard.

The Divine Thought shield around him was compressed to the point of shattering at any moment, the blood flowed endlessly from his body, winding and swirling on the shield like a red veil, yet his eyes shone with a cold and frenzied light.

Song Yan stood where the Buddha's Sound was the strongest, before an upside-down, black ancient temple in the deep sea, which is a structure of the Rotting Thought Layer, a materialized Obsession Maze similar to Sword Village.

The next instant, under the thoroughly dumbfounded gazes of the Fire Demon Dragon and the Demon Mother, Song Yan suddenly pushed open the doors of that black ancient temple and recklessly strode inside.

In an instant, heaven and earth inverted.

Which side is right, which side is wrong, it no longer mattered.

What mattered was, there was a slim chance of survival here.

Song Yan was never one to easily give up.

...

...

Bang!

At the moment Song Yan stepped into the black ancient temple, a strange sense of familiarity welled up, as if this was where he belonged.

He shook his head, looking back, only to find the gate had disappeared, replaced by serene stone steps leading down the mountain, only the steps seemed to be on clouds, drifting misty around, not in the sky nor on the earth, but like a solitary island in a sea of clouds.
