Heart-wrenching screams echoed one after another as hundreds of demons turned to ashes under the thunderous power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder in an instant.

As for the old hag Demon Lord, luck was not on her side, as she was struck critically by a dozen groups of Five Elements Divine Thunder, her soul annihilated, dying on the spot.

Outside the five-colored light screen, Yuan Ming made a grasping motion in the void, and the corpse of the old hag Demon Lord vanished into thin air, appearing beside him the next moment.

Although the old hag's vitality had perished, demonic energy still lingered within her body, and seven or eight runes hovered in her Dantian, shining brightly, these were the Dao Seals she comprehended in life.

Yuan Ming's eyes gleamed with brilliance, and he gently pressed his right hand onto the old hag's Dantian, activating the Primordial Dao Seal.

The Primordial Dao Seal could devour his own Dao Seal, but whether it could devour others' was unknown; if it could, that would be wonderful.

As he focused his mind, a seven-colored vortex rose from his Dantian, rapidly enveloping those seven or eight Dao Seals.

These Dao Seals whirled around in the vortex, seemingly trying to break free from their constraints, but unfortunately, the power of the Primordial Dao Seal far exceeded theirs and soon devoured them one by one.

After devouring these Dao Seals, the Primordial Dao Seal emitted a joyful humming sound, its size visibly increased, and its power surged accordingly.

"It really can; what a pleasant surprise," Yuan Ming rejoiced in his heart.

It is known that forging a single Dao Seal consumes immense effort and time, and under the current circumstances, he had no leisure to spare.

Now that he knew devouring others' Dao Seals could enhance his own, he only needed to keep hunting and killing demons.

However, Yuan Ming was not one to kill wantonly; slaughtering innocents for cultivation was something he truly loathed.

But with the domain war on the horizon, and the demon clan's invasion of Chuyun Realm an inevitability, killing demons then would be justified as an act of justice.

Within the five-colored light screen, the remaining four Demon Lords, seeing the death of the old hag Demon Lord, grew increasingly terrified. They couldn't see the outside situation, only felt an overwhelmingly powerful force crushing towards them.

The four unleashed their methods, whether Divine Skills or Spiritual Treasures, assaulting the five-colored light screen together. Yet, this screen, derived from the Five Elements Dao Fruit, was extraordinarily strong, effortlessly blocking all their attacks and remaining unshaken.

Seeing this, Yun Mei spat out a Silver Banner, which expanded with the wind, spewing silver light from its surface, instantly enveloping her, making her escape into the void.

"Space Divine Power?"

Yuan Ming's gaze tightened. This Space Divine Power did not belong to the Five Elements, hence wasn't restrained by the Five Elements Dao Fruit, allowing it to penetrate the five-colored light screen.

However, the Five Elements Dao Fruit, ranking third on the heavenly list of unparalleled Divine Skills, wasn't something Space Escape Techniques could easily break.

With a wave of Yuan Ming's sleeve, Spirit Light surged on the five-colored light screen, transforming into a field of Five-Colored Spiritual Light, instantly merging into the surrounding void.

Just as Yun Mei was about to escape the screen, she sensed a disturbance ahead in the void, with a vast wave of Five-Colored Spiritual Light surging toward her like a tidal wave.

She was startled and tried to dodge but couldn't in time. Her whole body was blasted by the Five-Colored Spiritual Light, pushed out of the void.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming's heart sneered, enhancing the power of the Five Elements Dao Fruit's Divine Power. The Five Elements Divine Thunder, several times denser than before, crashed down, instantly engulfing the demons.

Although these demons possessed decent strength, before Yuan Ming's Five Elements Dao Fruit Divine Power, they were like ants, quickly annihilated.

This woman's physical body had been destroyed, leaving only the Nascent Soul intact.

It was apparent that Yuan Ming had deliberately held back, not delivering the fatal blow outright.

Yuan Ming stepped into the five-colored light screen, his hand gently raised, as if an invisible force was guiding.

The demons' corpses floated toward him, orderly arranged before him like fallen leaves returning to their roots.

These demons were already dead, and their Dao Seals were about to disperse into nothingness.

Not daring to delay, Yuan Ming immediately used the Primordial Dao Seal, a dazzling seven-colored vortex slowly opened in his palm, engulfing all the corpses.

As the seven-colored vortex spun, one by one, Dao Seals shot out from the demons' bodies, streaking like meteors across the night sky, finally merging into the vortex.

Among these hundreds of demons, aside from the three Demon Lords, many were elites who, though not Demon Lords, had forged Dao Seals. These Dao Seals were also devoured by the vortex.

Before long, forty or fifty Dao Seals were absorbed into it.

The Primordial Dao Seal emitted a heaven-shaking roar, celebrating this bountiful harvest.

Its size doubled, its power multiplied, akin to a beast having just feasted, brimming with strength.

A more grandiose seven-colored vortex appeared around Yuan Ming, spanning hundreds of feet, like a miniature domain.

This seven-colored vortex not only refined nature's spiritual energy but also mercilessly absorbed and refined mountains and earth.

The seven-colored vortex spun faster and faster, its center like an abyss, vaguely on the verge of forming a Spiritual Domain.

Observing the scene before him, Yuan Ming couldn't help but smile.

"Is it finally time to condense a Spiritual Domain?" he murmured to himself.

Yuan Ming had long comprehended the Five Emperors' True Intent, and his mana had reached the peak of Dharma manifestation, just a step away from the Mahayana Realm.

Logically speaking, he should have long begun to condense the Spiritual Domain, at least forming a prototype.

However, his Spiritual Domain has been slow to condense, and now he finally shows signs of taking this step.

The characteristics of this Seven-Colored Spiritual Domain are identical to the Primordial Dao Seal, specializing in refining, anything entering it will be mercilessly drained of its Spiritual Power.

"I had thought I would use the Five Emperors' True Intent as the foundation to construct the Spiritual Domain, but now it seems my foundation is still the Primordial True Skill. This Seven-Colored Spiritual Domain shall be named the Primordial Spirit Domain," Yuan Ming thought to himself.

At this moment, a faint voice broke the silence.

It turned out to be Yun Mei's Nascent Soul begging for mercy.

Her Nascent Soul was also within the Primordial Spirit Domain, rapidly losing all its Demonic Qi, and the once robust Nascent Soul was quickly shriveling up, soon to be completely refined.

With a wave of his hand, Yuan Ming dispelled the Primordial Spirit Domain, allowing Yun Mei's Nascent Soul to catch a breath.

"Fellow Daoist, I am willing to submit to you, offering all my wealth. You can plant a Forbidden within my Nascent Soul; I will not resist. I am proficient in dozens of Secret Techniques of the Demon World and am willing to offer them all to you to expand your knowledge. I can also tell you many arrangements the Demon World has made against the Chuyun Realm. Reporting this would definitely earn you great merit..." she pleaded.

Yun Mei did not come from a major force in the Demon World; she was merely a capable Loose Cultivator.

This time, she was forcibly conscripted to the Chuyun Realm and had little desire to risk her life.

The crushing execution by Yuan Ming just now had utterly shattered her psychological defense.

At this moment, all she wished for was to survive, even if it meant becoming a slave to the Human Clan.

But Yuan Ming sneered, unmoved.

He reached out to seize Yun Mei's Nascent Soul, ready to perform the Soul Searching Divine Ability.

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware, we serve under the Yan Emperor's command, infiltrating the Chuyun Realm. To prevent us from leaking information upon capture, the Yan Emperor had set a Soul Lock Forbidden in our Divine Souls. If someone forcibly soul searches us, the Forbidden will activate, disintegrating our souls..." Yun Mei hurriedly said upon seeing this.

Yuan Ming's eyebrows twitched at her words but decided to give it a try anyway.

He executed the Soul Searching Divine Ability, and a large amount of black Qi surged into Yun Mei's Nascent Soul.

As Yun Mei said, her Nascent Soul and Divine Soul indeed had a Forbidden placed upon them.

If she were forcibly soul-searched, the Forbidden would fiercely resist, threatening to take Yun Mei's Divine Soul with it in mutual destruction.

Yuan Ming's mind shifted, retracting the Soul Searching Divine Ability, coldly looking at Yun Mei, he said, "Is that so? In that case, tell me everything you know."

"I am willing to tell you everything I know..." Yun Mei rejoiced upon hearing this, quickly speaking.

But even before she could finish her words, Yuan Ming raised his hand with a wave.

Yun Mei only saw darkness before she fell into a deep sleep.

A golden light flashed on Yuan Ming's forehead, then a pale golden eyeball emerged, radiant like a star, casting a golden light to envelop Yun Mei's Nascent Soul.

This was precisely Yuan Ming's Reincarnation Eye Divine Power, seemingly able to penetrate all illusions and see the essence of things.

In his Sea of Consciousness, scenes flowed like water, each one clearly presenting Yun Mei's past experiences, as if recounting a vivid historical scroll.

Although the Soul Lock Forbidden was powerful enough to block the Soul Searching Divine Ability, it appeared powerless against Yuan Ming's Reincarnation Eye, any Forbidden was unable to stop this incredible power of retrospection.

Yuan Ming quietly browsed Yun Mei's memories, deepening his understanding of the Demon World.

His gaze suddenly lingered on a scene, seeing the Yan Emperor seated high in the Demon Hall, summoning countless Demons, their faces brimming with zeal and anticipation, swearing to launch an attack on the Chuyun Realm once the Wentian Secret Realm opens.

"The opening of the Wentian Secret Realm is just a matter of the last twenty years, yet the Demon World plans a full-scale invasion then..." Yuan Ming frowned, unease rising within him.

Though he resided in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range all these years, he had been keeping a close eye on the skirmishes between the Chuyun Realm and the Demon World.

The confrontation between both sides mainly occurred in the far north of the Chuyun Realm at the Returning Ruins, but they were small-scale conflicts, and the Demon World had been unable to stage a full-scale invasion.

Yuan Ming knew that for a true assault on the Chuyun Realm, the Demon World first had to fully break through the realm barriers.

And the Chuyun Realm had been doing everything possible to fortify its barriers against an invasion from the Demon World.

According to news from Daoist Mu not long ago, the realm barrier at the Returning Ruins was relatively stable, secure for a hundred years.

Why would the Demon World choose to launch a total offensive when the Wentian Secret Realm opens? Had they devised some clever strategy, or was the Yan Emperor's speech merely a bluff? Yuan Ming fell into thought.

Moments later, he took out a green Communication Token left by Daoist Mu when he departed, allowing them to keep in touch at all times.

Yuan Ming organized the gathered intelligence, omitting the part about the Reincarnation Eye Divine Power, reporting instead that it was extracted through coercion from Yun Mei, and then transmitted it.

Subsequently, Yuan Ming continued to delve into Yun Mei's memories.

He witnessed the scene of the Demons being teleported underground here, and the Avatar Puppet of the Reincarnation Demon Lord going forth to contact the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

What shocked him even more was the message relayed by the Reincarnation Demon Lord's puppet two days ago, claiming they had reached a preliminary agreement with the Ten Thousand Demon Country, agreeing once again to join forces to confront the Human Clan.
