"Actually, you don't need to return Hu Shenyuan to normal, kid." Ling Yun's clone and Zhizun Buxiu looked at Long Hun, who had just appeared in front of them. "It wasn't Xie Zuzhou who turned him into a devil, but Qi Wuhei and Zu Tian'er. The two female devils who turned him into one are already dead, so he should have already broken free from their control. If you two don't believe me, you can try bringing him here, and you guys will see the results for yourselves."

"Senior."

Zhizun Buxiu opened the void directly, bringing Hu Shenyuan out from within. "I'll wake him up now."

"Yeah."

In a few minutes, Hu Shenyuan had woken up from his coma, but he felt his head was heavy. Many memories suddenly appeared in his mind, and he remembered that the two women had turned him into a devil like them.

"Wake up?"

Hu Shenyuan was startled to hear that, and he looked at Ling Yun's clone, Zhizun Buxiu, and Long Hun. "What happened to me? Where am I now?"

"Do you remember what happened in the Purple Thunder Domain?" Hu Shenyuan shook his head at Zhizun Buxiu. "I see! Those two women sealed your memories when they controlled you, so you can't remember what happened at that time."

Hu Shenyuan tried to get up and sit up, but his body was stiff from being unconscious for years. However, it wasn't a big deal, and he quickly adapted to the situation. "I remember two devil women came to me and killed all my men, and they turned me into a devil. I don't remember anything that happened to me after that, and I was already in this place when I opened my eyes."

"I see." Zhizun Buxiu nodded in understanding before recounting several events to Hu Shenyuan, especially those in the Purple Thunder Domain. "Since that day, I took you with me, and I moved you to another place when those people destroyed my private place."

Hu Shenyuan nodded slightly. "How did you manage to free me from the control of those two devil women?"

"Him." Hu Shenyuan looked at Ling Yun's clone as Zhizun Buxiu pointed at him. "You're lucky that it wasn't Xie Zuzhou who turned you into a devil, but his two women who did that to you. He killed them several years ago, and he has already absorbed their souls, so you are now free from their control."

Hu Shenyuan seemed doubtful about Ling Yun's clone because her cultivation was far below his, precisely at the Celestial Venerable Realm. Moreover, he had fought the two devil women before, and they had defeated him effortlessly, so he found it hard to believe he could defeat them, let alone kill them.

Hu Shenyuan felt confused when he saw Ling Yun's clone's face, and he felt familiar, like he had seen him before. However, he felt doubtful about it, especially because he looked much older when he first saw him in the past.

Ling Yun's clone smiled casually as he observed his gaze. "You may not believe that I killed them, and I don't need to convince you to believe it either. However, that's the truth, and many people witnessed our fight at that time."

"I see." Hu Shenyuan nodded in understanding before he remembered something. "Are you the young man who entered my private quarters in the Burial Realm in the past?"

"Hahaha." Ling Yun's clone laughed and nodded at him. "The blood pool you left in that realm was useful to me, and I obtained the black Tiger as my contracted beast there."

Hu Shenyuan was truly shocked after learning the truth because he remembered for sure that Ling Yun's clone's cultivation was still at the Saint Realm at that time, but he had already reached the Venerable God Realm now. Moreover, the last time he saw him was about four years ago, and four years wouldn't be enough for him to reach the Five God Realms.

"Surprised?" Hu Shenyuan nodded to Ling Yun's clone. "I won't explain the details to you because it's my secret, but I can tell you that I have dozens of women constantly helping me with my cultivation. Someone also helped me with something, so I broke through to this stage faster than anyone else."

Hu Shenyuan was curious about Ling Yun's clone's cultivation speed, but he could see that she didn't want to tell him the truth, so he immediately changed the subject by asking something else. "Where are we now? What do you want from me?"

"The Primordial Realm." Hu Shenyuan felt confused again when Ling Yun's clone mentioned the Primordial Realm, as he had never heard of it before. "In short, this realm was the first to exist in the universe in the past, and the primordials inhabited it at that time, including the Primordial Chaos Dragon."

"What—"

"That's right." Zhizun Buxiu pointed to the area ahead, where there was nothing but destruction as far as the eye could see. "Try to feel the qi in this realm."

Hu Shenyuan was in utter shock as he looked at the area in front of him, which was completely in ruins. He didn't ask anything and followed Zhizun Buxiu's words by absorbing the qi in the realm, which shocked him even more. He was an experienced cultivator who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, but he had never felt such strong qi in that realm before, and the qi there was several times stronger than in the Supreme Realm.

After absorbing the qi for some time, Hu Shenyuan stopped and looked at Zhizun Buxiu and Ling Yun's clone. "Why didn't any cultivator know about this realm in the past? The qi here is unbelievably powerful, several times stronger than the qi in the Supreme Realm."

"You don't need to ask that because I don't have the answer either." Ling Yun's clone created a qi screen to show Hu Shenyuan the darkness that was swallowing their universe from the outermost perimeter, which shocked them. "As you can see, the darkness has already swallowed many realms in the lower realms, and it continues to advance toward us while devouring other realms. If we fail to stop the darkness, it will engulf our entire universe, ultimately leading to our demise. However, we face serious problems to stop it, and we have to face many powerful cultivators If we want to stop it."

"Powerful cultivators? Who are they?"

Ling Yun's clone shook his head in response. "I don't know their identities because most of them are cultivators who lived in the past, but I know two of them because they are the previous Spirit Emperor and the previous Demon Emperor."

Hu Shenyuan looked at Ling Yun's clone seriously after hearing that, especially since he knew that the previous Spirit Emperor and the previous Demon Emperor were truly powerful, even though they lived in the upper realms in the past.

"I don't know the exact story behind how those two people ended up trapped in that place, and I only know that it's related to the four perils." Hu Shenyuan remembered about Hundun and the three beasts, and he knew that they were powerful, but they were less powerful than the previous Spirit Emperor and the previous Demon Emperor. "By the way, that place is the Desolate Abyss Domain, and the dark abyss there is the entrance to that place. If we want to stop the darkness from swallowing our universe, we have to enter that place, but we have to fight with the cultivators who are trapped there. That place is a center of evil, and those cultivators are truly powerful, so we need a lot of help to fight them."

Hu Shenyuan frowned at that because he knew the abyss in the Desolate Abyss Domain, and he never dared to approach that place because the evil aura that emerged from there was too strong. "Are we really going into that place?"

"Yes." Both Ling Yun's clone and Zhizun Buxiu nodded at him. "There are only two choices: we have to go in there, or we will die, swallowed by darkness."

"I know that place is extremely dangerous, and many cultivators have been trapped there since ancient times. We have no choice but to enter that place if we don't want to die, and I need your help for that." Hu Shenyuan looked at Ling Yun's clone seriously. "You may underestimate me because my cultivation is at this level now, but I can say with certainty that I am the only cultivator who can stop that darkness. However, I cannot fight everyone trapped inside that place, and it would be a waste of my energy for my final battle. Therefore, I need the help of many people to fight those cultivators, or I will lose to that person, and this universe will return to emptiness once again."

Although Ling Yun's clone's cultivation was too low right now, Hu Shenyuan didn't dare underestimate him because he had managed to break through from the Saint Realm to the Venerable God Realm in just a few years, which was impossible for others. "That person?"

"Yeah." Ling Yun's clone changed the image on the qi screen, but what appeared there was only a blurry image, and he was sure that it was the work of chaos. "It seems that person didn't want you to see his face, so he deliberately blurred the image. He is the core of this universe, and the primordials call him the Chaos."
