It was indeed the self that had been exterminated during childhood!
"To eradicate the Heart Demon is to attain completeness." The voice of the phantom overlapped with Yun Che's, "Do you hate it? Do you resent the unfairness of fate, resent that your loved ones have perished..."
The Star Key suddenly trembled, and Yun Che gripped it tightly, thrusting it toward the phantom: "What I hate... is this cursed manipulation of fate by Xing Yun!"
The phantom exploded into silver light, and nine crystal cores merged into the Star Key. The dome of the altar cracked open, revealing the Star Map, and the Jail of the First Bloodline Seal began to collapse!
The Star Key was inserted into the altar's core, and Yun Che's blood flowed along the patterns, filling the Star Map. The seals of the Jail shattered piece by piece, and Xing Wen transformed into a crimson-gold dragon shadow coiling around him, his cultivation soaring to the Ling Tai Realm!
However, black blood seeped between the dragon's scales, and the curse of the High Priest resounded in his Sea of Consciousness:
"The day the seal is lifted is the day the Demon Seed awakens!"
Yun Che bled from all seven orifices, his right arm's Xing Wen twisting into demonic patterns. The altar suddenly shook as Mo Qianshan's sword energy cleaved through the dome: "Little Beast, so you were hiding here!"
Mo Qianshan led twelve elders from Tianque Palace to surround the altar, their sword formation sealing off all directions. Yun Che grinned wickedly as he looked up, demonic patterns crawling across half his face: "Just in time... let's see the true power of the Starfall Clan!"
He formed his fingers into a sword shape, and the Star Key transformed into Liu Guang, piercing through the sword formation. The remnants of the Heavenly Gang Sword Technique merged with demonic energy, evolving into a world-destroying "Meteor Strike"!
The first elder's head shot up into the sky, and the residual sword energy shattered three bodies. Mo Qianshan was forced back ten paces, throwing out a Soul Locking Banner from his sleeve: "The demon has appeared; everyone help me suppress it!"
The Soul Locking Banner summoned countless vengeful spirits, and Yun Che's demonic patterns grew increasingly ferocious. At a critical moment, Fumo Qinyin broke through space, and Xiao Qingli leaped into battle atop her zither strings: "His life... can only be judged by Lingxiao Pavilion!"
Qin Yin transformed her zither into a prison to trap Yun Che. Blood seeped from her fingertips as she drew a sealing talisman in midair: "Wake up! Do you want to become a second Nine Nether Demon Lord?!"
Yun Che's left eye blazed with starlight as demonic patterns clashed with Xing Wen within him. He roared as he tore apart the sealing talisman and sent Xiao Qingli flying with a palm strike: "Get away... I don't need pity!"
The altar collapsed amidst their fierce battle as Yun Che dragged Mo Qianshan down into an abyss. At the moment when the Star Key pierced through his chest, the Nine Heavens Thunder Calamity shattered the secret realm's dome!
"Let's die together..." Mo Qianshan grinned savagely as he crushed his life talisman, and a rift in space swallowed both of them.
In that final moment, Yun Che hurled the Star Key toward Xiao Qingli who was rushing over: "Tell Bai Ruoyou... her debt... I have noted it down!"
Thunderlight engulfed heaven and earth, leaving only a wisp of starlight entwined with demonic patterns... falling into the depths of the Infinite Rift.
Yun Che plummeted through chaos, demonic patterns creeping like poisonous vines across half his body. The gale of the Infinite Rift tore at his flesh but was forcibly healed by Xing Wen; every inch of rebirth came with excruciating pain. He barely opened his eyes to see swirling dark purple mist filled with countless broken corpses and weapons floating like remnants of an ancient battlefield.
"I'm still alive..." he chuckled hoarsely as his palm glowed dimly with Xing Wen. The Demon Seed pulsed at his heart, its seductive whispers seeping into his Sea of Consciousness:
"Release the Jail... I grant you power to slaughter your enemies..."
Yun Che suddenly bit down on his tongue, overwhelming bloodiness drowning out the demonic voice. In the distance within the mist, two points of crimson light suddenly ignited. A three-headed demon wolf stepped upon skeletons, its fangs dripping with corrosive black liquid.
The demon wolf howled towards the sky, its sound waves shattering nearby skeletons. Yun Che rolled over and leaped up, forming a blade with Xing Wen to strike at one of its heads; however, the blade was corroded by black liquid and cracked!
