After entering the Mysterious Realm, Jia Ren had no desire to return. Letting his archenemy, the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, roam freely was like a bone stuck in his throat, leaving him in an irritable mood. Before leaving, he wanted to seal the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, or at the very least, dismantle the Heart Devil Realm.

His Insect External Incarnation transformed into an Escape Light, flying towards the Barren Extreme Land. Unlike his previous cautious visit to the Barren Extreme Land, where he had prepared a double disguise with the Laughing Spook Mask and the Beastly RV, times had changed. Now, he was eager for the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre to show itself and engage him in battle.

Before leaving Lingyuan City, it was impossible for Jia Ren to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. In the meantime, he wanted to refine the Greenburn Ancient Lamp and a few common Magical Treasures. He would use the Demon-Sealing Tower to upgrade ordinary Magical Treasures to the Spiritual Treasure Level. In the Mysterious Realm, he could use Spiritual Treasures, or Spirit Treasure Level Talismans, to exchange for scarce treasures.

The first thing Jia Ren did was take out the Ancient Green Emperor Gold he had obtained not long ago and study the newly acquired Greenburn Ancient Lamp. Initially, he wanted to replicate the Ancient Treasure, allowing it to grow continually through the use of Fire-Absorbing Glyphs. Not long after, Jia Ren changed his mind.

The Greenburn Ancient Lamp, a fire-based Magical Treasure, could fully cooperate with the Demon-Sealing Tower; he wanted to refine it into a composite Magical Treasure for the Tower. The Wicked Flame it would utilize could be transformed not only into Sacrificial Fire and Corpse-Ritual Fire but also other types of flames. However, without Magical Treasures specifically designed to work with the Demon Sealing Tower, its full potential was limited.

The Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure would supply the flames, while the Greenburn Ancient Lamp would be refined into a Treasure to store these flames and unleash their devastating power. There was no difference in the Greenburn Ancient Fire produced by burning Corpse Oil versus transforming Wicked Flame, but the latter method was more efficient and yielded stronger flames. This approach would also maximize the power and efficiency of the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure. The flames from a Demon-Sealing Tower at the Late-stage of Soul Transformation were even stronger, possessing terrifying destructive force. If the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure continued to grow, the power of its flames would rival the legendary Heavenly Fire.

"From now on, it cannot simply be called the Greenburn Ancient Lamp," he mused.

"Let's call you the Heavenly Fire… Nether Lamp!"

Why add Nether Lamp?

This Treasure is a fire-based combat Magical Treasure; its appearance spells death for the enemy, so the name Nether Lamp is not an exaggeration.

"The Heavenly Fire Nether Lamp is just the beginning," Jia Ren declared. "I need to create more Treasures that will work in conjunction with the Demon Sealing Tower."

Using the Greenburn Ancient Lamp as the foundation, Jia Ren entered the Refining Workshop and began to refine the Heavenly Fire Nether Lamp Treasure.

The Insect External Incarnation continued its journey towards the Barren Extreme Land and was already in the midst of the Heart Devil Realm even before reaching its destination.

"Suppress!"

The Demon Sealing Tower Talisman flew out, and the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light exploded in the distance, creating a visible black torrent. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light could affect up to thirty miles, completely immobilizing the targets infested by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre.

"Capture!"

Hundreds of thousands of wisps of black energy transformed into black Heart Demon Seeds of various sizes, all flying towards the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman.

An avatar of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre emerged from the Demon Sealing Tower, howling furiously, "I will definitely make you pay a price!"

The Insect External Incarnation couldn't be bothered with this creature, nonchalantly sending the avatar to the thirty-third floor of the Demon Sealing Tower. The Wicked Flame blazed fiercely, turning the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre avatar, which had been formed from Heart Demon Seeds, into more Wicked Flame, which then transformed into a massive amount of Sacrificial Fire.

Jia Ren was willing to spend time dealing with the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, not only because of their enmity. There was an even more important reason: benefits! Not to mention the hope of capturing the real Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, but even just incinerating its avatars yielded an astonishing amount of Wicked Flame. Incinerating the avatars formed from hundreds of thousands of Heart Demon Seeds yielded Sacrificial Fire equivalent to three days' production from the Demon Sealing Tower. If he did this a dozen or more times, the yield would be sufficient to offset the cost of refining Demon Sealing Tower Talismans. Although it wasn't as continuous as the supply from real Bizarre Demons, earning a 'quick buck' was also good. Destroying the Heart Devil Realm would not only strike at the enemy but also yield a profit.

"Not bad!"

The Insect External Incarnation sped towards the Barren Extreme Land. Wherever it went, the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman absorbed Heart Demon Seeds, which became fuel for the talisman.

A twisted black face coalesced in the Void, coldly staring at the Insect External Incarnation wreaking havoc in the Heart Devil Realm. Jia Ren had managed to escape its grasp time after time, becoming a massive thorn in its side. To this day, he dared to invade its Heart Devil Realm and cause widespread destruction, which infuriated it. A once timid insect that only knew how to flee now left it helpless.

"I will make you pay a price!"

The Insect External Incarnation ignored the impotent rage of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, turning into a silver flash, and proceeded to 'plunder' with the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light everywhere it went. Wherever he passed, a large number of Heart Demon Seeds detached from their hosts, flocking towards the Demon Sealing Tower like swallows returning to their nest.

Destruction was much faster than construction. The Heart Devil Realm, painstakingly nurtured by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, faced its day of destruction, gradually disintegrating and shrinking rapidly.

BOOM!

Before the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light could fall, the enormous black face in the Void shattered first, vanishing from sight. As if the Heart Demon Seeds had received an order, the Magical Beasts they infested fled in every direction, trying to escape the reach of the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light. The Heart Devil Realm wasn't static; as long as the Heart Demon Seeds could escape, it could be rebuilt at any time.

Unfortunately, the Magical Beasts were weak, and their speed was no match for the Insect External Incarnation, which surpassed Nascent Soul Cultivators. No matter where they fled, they couldn't change their fate and were delivered into the Demon Sealing Tower.

This turn of events was something the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre couldn't accept. The Heart Devil Realm it had worked so hard to establish was truly facing its destroyer. Heart Demon Seeds were not just the foundation of the Heart Devil Realm but also the source of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre's power. As long as the people infested with Heart Demon Seeds remained alive, they would continuously supply power to the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, aiding it in growing stronger. Why was the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre able to grow so rapidly after breaking its seal? This was thanks to the Heart Devil Realm! Once it lost a considerable number of Heart Demon Seeds, even if the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre managed to escape, its strength would suffer a severe decline.

Magical Beasts are no good, I must take them back myself!

One after another, Heart Demon Seeds flew out from within the Magical Beasts, transforming into a black cloud that swiftly fled into the distance. Wherever the black cloud passed, a multitude of Heart Demon Seeds flew into it. The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre couldn't stay idle. Was it trying to collect the Heart Demon Seeds itself?

Just as the Insect External Incarnation was about to capture them all at once, a massive black face congealed in the void, blocking the way.

"Annihilation!"

A black severed palm descended from nowhere, reaching for the Insect External Incarnation. Protected by the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light, it still chose to meet force with force. The usually invincible Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light met its match, continually disintegrating upon contact. The black severed palm was also affected, its darkness dimming under the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light.

The Insect External Incarnation looked solemnly at the black severed palm. This was a Bizarre Demon materialized by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, capable of negating the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light—it was truly extraordinary.

"Flames!"

Seizing the moment of deadlock, the Wicked Flame transformed into a fire bird that flew towards the Annihilation Strange Hand. Slowed by the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light, the Annihilation Strange Hand couldn't react in time and was instantly ignited by the Wicked Flame. Lacking the power to counter the burning flame, the moment it was struck, its fate was sealed.

What a pity, it's not a real Bizarre Demon...

Within the Wicked Flame, the Annihilation Strange Hand was burned to nothingness and completely vanished. The Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre was unconcerned, as its purpose of hindering the pursuit was accomplished.

Jia Ren stopped refining the Heavenly Fire Nether Lamp and flew out of the Mountain and Sea Pearl. A Demon Sealing Tower Talisman was activated, materializing a Demon-Sealing Tower that landed in his palm. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light shielded him, preventing the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre from pulling him into its illusionary realm. Without the protection of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Jia Ren would have been played to death by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre's masterful Illusion Techniques.

BOOM!

A Black Blood Gate with interlocking razor teeth appeared and snapped its jaws shut.

A newly materialized Bizarre Demon?

A golden light flashed. Utilizing the Five Metals Divine Escape, he vanished as if by Instantaneous Movement, a speed far surpassing the Silver Flash Wings.

The face of the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre emerged from within the black cloud. It grasped a Black Blood Gate from the void and smashed it down upon Jia Ren. Under the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light, the Bizarre Demon's power was diminished, and it could not unleash its full might. A sizzling noise sounded as a cloud of black mist transformed into an exploding black meatball. The annihilating force corroded a huge gap within the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light. The pressure from the Black Blood Gate suddenly vanished, unleashing its full power. Jia Ren's blood qi surged uncontrollably, striking at his heart.

The Black Blood Bizarre?! Had it merged with an unknown door Bizarre Demon?

"Mixed Refinement Black Dragon Body!"

Black Dragon Scales emerged on his body, his eyes had turned into vertical dragon-like pupils, and his arms became robust and powerful. His strong physique suppressed and sealed the blood qi, preventing the runaway blood qi from damaging his body.

He took out a new Demon Sealing Tower Talisman, which transformed into a third Demon-Sealing Tower. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light fell, and the strange powers dissipated at that moment. Jia Ren never shortchanged himself, taking out a newly refined Demon Sealing Tower Talisman. The power of Demon-Sealing Towers differed between the Divinity Transformation Stage and the Late-stage of Soul Transformation, and the power disparity in the talismans was evident. The merged Bizarre Demon was suppressed on the spot. The gap created by the annihilation was restored instantly.

"Go!"

Unsure whether the merged Bizarre Demon was real or fake, Jia Ren had no intention of letting it escape. He didn't want to give up on the fleeing massive dark cloud either, determined to have both! He extended his palm, grasping the Demon-Sealing Tower in his right hand, and forcefully hurled it into the distance.

WHOOSH!

The beam of black light shot across the sky like a meteor, flying off into the distance at high speed. The full-power throw of the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman was incredibly fast. With the Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light activated, it quickly closed in on the dark cloud. The Demon-Suppressing Rosy Light affected a larger area, forcibly absorbing the Heart Demon Seeds hidden within the cloud.

WHOOSH!

The cloud rapidly transformed back into the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre and vanished into thin air, leaving only a few traces of black qi falling into the Demon Sealing Tower Talisman.

The battle between the Insect External Incarnation and the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre ended. As the latter disappeared, its voice rang out, "If you keep chasing me, these two fellows will escape! This is a real Bizarre Demon!"

BOOM!

An explosion sounded from within the Black Blood Gate, and the force of annihilation burst forth again as the gate fled into the distance.

The two Bizarre Demons were indeed tempting. After hesitating for a moment, Jia Ren decided his main body would remain to safeguard the area while the Insect External Incarnation gave chase. The Black Blood Gate could not escape from his grasp, and before long, it was delivered to the twenty-sixth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower.

The Wicked Flame burned fiercely, and after one hour, they were reduced to ashes and then reborn. Upon rebirth, they were not the Black Blood Gate anymore but had returned as two separate Bizarre Demons. The Bizarre Demons had not truly fused; it was just a forced amalgamation. Upon death, they were reborn separately, reverting to their original forms.

One resembled the Bronze Strange Gate, nearly identical as if cast from the same mold. The other was the Black Blood Bizarre, all too familiar to Jia Ren.

With calamity upon them, it's every man for himself. In order to escape smoothly, the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre had thrown its allies under the bus!
