Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu with some concern, suddenly feeling that the innocent and clever girl from his memory seemed to be getting further and further away. It appeared that the influence of the dark holy artifact was truly not ordinary in its strength.

Qi Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Chu Mo's worried gaze, giggling, "Brother, are you worried about me?"

Chu Mo forced a smile.

Qi Xiaoyu spoke softly, "No matter what I become, in front of you, I will always be that little girl."

As she spoke, the pupils of Qi Xiaoyu's eyes began to overflow with black tendrils, which crept over her eyeballs and up onto her delicate face.

Chu Mo's gaze solidified, and he watched Qi Xiaoyu intently.

Qi Xiaoyu laughed, as exquisite yet bizarre patterns emerged on her face and the aura within her body kept rising.

"Brother…" Qi Xiaoyu suddenly reached out her hand, a look of longing flashing in her eyes. Then… it was enveloped by an endless black mist.

Chu Mo reached out to grab Qi Xiaoyu's hand, but her figure suddenly vanished from the spot and reappeared high in the sky.

Streams of black mist spread wildly from Qi Xiaoyu's body. An overwhelming pressure was released from within that black mist.

Puh!

Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of blood right there.

Boom!

Thunderous roars!

The boundless Prairie began to tremble violently, as the sound of muffled thunder came from beneath the ground, and massive fissures opened up.

The river that was like a jade belt embedded in the Prairie nearly vanished in the blink of an eye.

Chu Mo didn't even need to use the Fengshui Divine Art to sense that all the essence energy in this place had been utterly drained in an instant, completely converging onto Qi Xiaoyu!

Ah!" Qi Xiaoyu in the sky erupted with a powerful and limitless aura and let out a roar filled with pain.

Chu Mo wanted to rush into the high sky, but he was completely powerless to do so!

The pressure emanating from Qi Xiaoyu… was simply too immense!

The dark holy artifact, at this moment… had completely revived!

Heaven Slaying flew out from the Divine Sky Mirror, unleashing a terrifying killing intent directed at Qi Xiaoyu in the void. It sensed a strong threat!

"Heaven Slaying… don't!" Chu Mo said in extreme pain, "Don't hurt her!"

Boom!

A bolt of heavenly lightning, following the path of the Nine Nether, struck down directly upon Qi Xiaoyu.

"Get lost!"

From Qi Xiaoyu's throat came an extremly cold shout.

The heavenly lightning hadn't even touched Qi Xiaoyu when it suddenly shattered!

Actually blasted apart by Qi Xiaoyu's roar!

How can this be?" Chu Mo didn't understand why Qi Xiaoyu suddenly could no longer suppress the dark holy artifact. Hadn't she said she could hold it off for at least half a year?

"Why?" Chu Mo roared to the heavens.

"Brother…" From the towering figure in the sky, suddenly came a weak whimper.

Then, an exceedingly cold voice spoke, "Chu Mo, forget about me. We are from two different worlds now! There was never meant to be any outcome between us."

"You're not Xiaoyu! Who are you?" Chu Mo roared angrily.

"Hmph, an ant!" that icy voice spoke, and with a raise of a hand... a black light struck toward Chu Mo.

This black light contained boundless death energy!

But at the crucial moment, her arm... suddenly lifted upward a bit.

That blow missed, and the black energy directly hit the void in the distance.

That part of the void collapsed silently, forming a bizarre vortex that sucked out an abyssal pit from the ground below!

"Do not harm him!" Qi Xiaoyu's voice rang out again, this time filled with boundless anger.

"Hmph, he's nothing but an ant! You are a natural-born queen! There is no man in this world worthy of you! You can never return to the past... In front of anyone, you, Qi Xiaoyu, can only be the queen! A queen high above! You only need to accept the worship of all beings!" that icy voice, likewise, came from Qi Xiaoyu's body.

Chu Mo raised his head, looking up at the figure in the sky, seeming to understand something. It was Qi Xiaoyu's earlier words that had provoked the soul hidden within the dark holy artifact!

"That holy artifact... was originally called the Sacred Artifact of Light, said to have been corrupted by the influence of an ancient Elf prince... turning into the dark holy artifact. So, the soul inside the dark holy artifact..." Chu Mo thought to himself, a shiver running through his heart.

He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility!

This dark holy artifact... most likely, wanted to seize Qi Xiaoyu's body!

"Dark holy artifact... let her go!" Chu Mo thought of this, enduring the terrifying pressure, his figure rose into the air, flying directly into the high sky.

Crack!

Crack crack crack!

Even Chu Mo's supremely powerful ancestral realm body could not bear such pressure; his bones began to shatter. Blood... seeped out of his body. But Chu Mo acted as if he felt nothing, fixating his gaze on the woman before him, now enveloped in black energy, her face covered with sinister black patterns.

He knew, this was no longer Qi Xiaoyu! Qi Xiaoyu's body had been possessed by this soul, suppressed!

"An ant... what do you count for?" The icy voice emanated from Qi Xiaoyu's mouth, then she raised her hand again and pointed, sending another stream of black energy shooting toward Chu Mo.

This time, Qi Xiaoyu's arm trembled again, but the movement was very slight, not enough to affect the strike's release.

The icy voice came from Qi Xiaoyu's mouth, "Don't waste your effort, you are realms away from me, light-years apart! If it weren't for spending some time studying your unique Seven-orifice Heart of Heaven and Earth, from the instant you chose to open the dark holy artifact... you would have been dead already!"

Facing this strike, Chu Mo had no means to evade. This attack had surpassed the realm of the Immortal Realm. Although the strength of the attack didn't surpass that of an Ascending-stage cultivator, its piercing intensity and the tremendous pressure were beyond Chu Mo's ability to dodge!

Clang!

Heaven Slaying resonated.

It positioned itself in front of Chu Mo.

Bang!

The black energy struck Heaven Slaying heavily.

Bang!

A loud boom followed, then a powerful blast wave instantly sent Chu Mo flying.

Chu Mo, already grievously injured, was thrown at high speed. He tumbled through the void uncontrollably.

"No!" A piercing cry came from Qi Xiaoyu's mouth, it was Xiaoyu's own voice: "Do not hurt him!"

"He must die! He is your inner demon! As long as he lives, you will never accept your fate! You... should be the strongest under this starry sky!" The cold voice resounded once more, and the black energy-entwined Qi Xiaoyu, with a whoosh, rushed in front of Chu Mo, delivering a vicious palm strike toward him.

Heaven Slaying once again intercepted in front of Chu Mo, while the Chaos furnace hummed, rising above Chu Mo's head and releasing thousands of strands of chaos energy, shielding Chu Mo within.

The divine mirror of the void emerged, its four blood moons emitting bright glows that aimed at Qi Xiaoyu within the black energy.

The entire sky collapsed.

Turning into nothingness.
