As the white light faded, Jade Machine stared wide-eyed in terror, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.
Hadn't the Divine Body been perfected? How could he be defeated by this "insignificant" Human Pillar?
The Martial Soul Technique is the most powerful! I will not lose! I will not lose!
As the dust settled slowly, Jade Machine's broken body was finally laid bare under the bright sky.
There was no massive pit beneath him as expected; he lay quietly on the flat ground. If it weren't for his body being completely twisted, with joints contorted in unnatural directions, one might have thought nothing had happened at all!
Li Xiaonan hovered in the air, not immediately flying to Jade Machine's side but instead casting a cold glance back at Mo Shang.
The white eyes made Mo Shang gasp in shock; those were the Inner Demon, she knew.
But she never expected that such pupil-less white eyes could exude a sense of disdain.
Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow and said, "Mind your own business!"
Although the power of the Human Pillar was immense, it was entirely under his control, and all of that force landed precisely on Jade Machine.
The scattered energy did not collide with Mo Shang's prepared Light Barrier; instead, it dissipated directly under Li Xiaonan's command.
Mo Shang frowned slightly, feeling quite displeased.
Imagine trying to help someone out of kindness only to be met with disdain; moreover, this fellow was clearly weaker than her!
It was like a wealthy person giving a coin to a beggar out of sympathy, only for the beggar to throw it on the ground and trample over it without gratitude—such was the principle.
She retorted angrily, "Someone controlled by their Inner Demon has no right to criticize me!"
"Oh? How do you know I'm controlled by my Inner Demon? Or are you... worried about me?" Li Xiaonan glanced sideways, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
The person who had originally been far away from Mo Shang suddenly appeared right in front of her, their faces almost touching.
Mo Shang gazed at the handsome face before her. Although the strange white eyes were somewhat unsettling, they added a hint of charm.
In Mo Shang's eyes, the normally mundane Li Xiaonan seemed a bit tiresome, and his cultivation was weak. However, when the Inner Demon emerged, he became just a tad more attractive.
Mo Shang felt a pang of shame for her thoughts, and two delicate pink clouds rose on her stunning cheeks.
"Hmph!" The curve of Li Xiaonan's lips widened as he smiled happily, completely taken aback by Mo Shang's current reaction.
Even though he had summoned the Inner Demon, Li Xiaonan was still Li Xiaonan; that had not changed. The soul controlling this body remained his own.
It was just that while his power had been amplified, so too had his desires, making his behavior appear somewhat erratic.
He suddenly reached out, gripping Mo Shang's chin and forcing her to look up at him. "You’re blushing! So the goddess likes this kind of teasing! It seems that bad boys are irresistible to good girls, huh? Tsk tsk!"
"Let go of me!" Mo Shang frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of anger, but the flush on her cheeks only deepened.
Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow, an exaggerated expression on his face. He chuckled, "Oh? Do you really want me to let go? Even though I’ve powered up, my cultivation is still weaker than yours, right? If you wanted to push me away, wouldn’t it be easy? Or perhaps…"
As he spoke, a sly smile crossed his lips as he leaned closer to Mo Shang.
Mo Shang’s face turned an even deeper shade of red! It felt as if she might bleed at any moment.
She muttered to herself: What is he doing? Push him away! Mo Shang, hurry and push him away!
This little guy is just a Demigod! You can’t lose to him!
But why can’t my body move? Right! It must be the mischief of that divine beast beside me!
What should I do? He… he’s getting closer and closer! Is he going to kiss me? No! I absolutely cannot let this jerk touch my body!
As these thoughts raced through her mind, strength gradually returned to her body.
She was about to push Li Xiaonan away, but once again, she was captivated by the unique aura of the man, paralyzing all her movements.
When their lips were merely a centimeter apart, Li Xiaonan suddenly stopped. Instead of kissing those thin, sensual lips, he gently blew a breath towards Mo Shang.
He continued, "Are you infatuated with me now? Heh, what a pity. All I want is Fisher's Song! Although in some sense you are one and the same, she is more understanding and knows how to serve better than you! Especially the way she sways her hips; it's truly a delight!"
Li Xiaonan said this while casually releasing Mo Shang, a hint of a smile still lingering at the corners of his mouth as he flew towards Jade Machine.
After a brief moment of shock, Mo Shang felt a surge of anger ignite within her, almost consuming her entirely!
She looked at her right hand and thought: Why! Why does his one sentence make me so angry! Although I have never admitted it, Fisher's Song is indeed part of me, but she is just a humble subordinate personality!
Why! Why does that bastard prefer Fisher's Song more!
Clearly, I am the main entity!
I am the divine being!
And she! She is just a mere Demon Immortal.
Why!
After Mo Shang raged internally for a while, she sadly realized that her previously calm state had been stirred into turmoil by Li Xiaonan's words, making it impossible for her to settle down.
This was also the first time since becoming divine that she felt a sense of "crisis."
Li Xiaonan lowered his head, gently stroking the fingers that had just touched Fisher's Song. The silky texture made him recall their wedding night, stirring something within him that he couldn't ignore; even his second brother reacted slightly.
Thinking back to Fisher's Song's compliant demeanor in bed, that soft and delicate body truly evoked both affection and excitement.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath, shaking off those images from his mind. He blinked his eyes, and his once white pupils returned to their normal black.
He landed beside Jade Machine and frowned at his blood-soaked appearance. Crouching down, he asked, "Master, what exactly happened?"
Jade Machine hung his eyelids low, his narrow eyes barely forming a slit. At this moment, he was exhaling more than inhaling.
He tried hard to lift the corners of his mouth, attempting to put on a cold smile.
Unfortunately, to Li Xiaonan, this expression looked more like a facial spasm than anything intimidating.
Li Xiaonan naturally noticed the disdain in Jade Machine's eyes. He sighed and placed a hand on Jade Machine's forehead, saying, "Master, just take a nap! When you wake up, everything will be fine!"
Jade Machine's squinted eyes suddenly opened wide, but then his gaze scattered, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaonan's eyes widened even more, staring in disbelief.
He directly accessed Jade Machine's memories and finally understood the reason behind his master's transformation into a pervert.
After ascending to the celestial realm, Jade Machine hadn't even had the chance to properly explore what it looked like before he was suddenly ambushed by Zhao Lingshan's avatar.
The frustration in his heart was overwhelming! He never expected that after risking his life to reach the celestial realm, he would be hunted down!
Although the pursuer was a beautiful woman, he didn't know her at all! In this lifetime, he had only owed a favor once, and that was to Huang Yan.
He couldn't understand why this celestial maiden had gone crazy and was chasing him down. At first, he thought about putting on an act, but after a few encounters, he was completely dumbfounded!
He and this Goddess Gone Mad were on entirely different levels! What was there to fight about?
Jade Machine was inherently clever; while he couldn't be described as quirky, he certainly wasn't foolish either.
What could he do if he couldn't win? Run!
Fortunately for him, Jade Machine had tough skin. Relying on this advantage, he endured while escaping, repeatedly cursing Zhao Lingshan's female ancestors in his mind while often expressing gratitude toward the founder of Soul Gate!
Having tough skin really was beneficial!
But alas, no matter how thick his skin was, there was still a limit. Zhao Lingshan had always intended to toy with him; after enough games, she naturally unleashed her ultimate move.
A single strike brought down the Falling Star, directly hitting the running Jade Machine.
Perhaps he overestimated his own strength or underestimated the resilience of the Jade Machine. In any case, Zhao Lingshan did not check whether the Jade Machine was dead and simply left.
The Jade Machine covered its broken arm, gritting its teeth as it sought refuge in a cave.
Struggling to sit cross-legged, it took a deep breath, allowing a large amount of Celestial Aura to fill its lungs.
With a grin, it began to cultivate, and this technique was none other than the Martial Soul Technique.
Initially, it was just to heal its wounds, but as the Jade Machine's injuries healed, it was astonished to discover that the Martial Soul Technique could still be practiced.
Though still at the seventh level, the understanding was completely different!
Obsessed with and yearning for power, in a certain sense, the Jade Machine was like a madman. It decided then and there to enter seclusion!
At the very least, it aimed to cultivate enough strength to confront the Goddess Gone Mad.
The scene continued with "practice and practice" until the Jade Machine flattened a mountain with a single palm and emerged from seclusion.
Although Li Xiaonan only watched the memories of the Jade Machine, she felt as if she were experiencing it herself, a surge of overwhelming battle intent filling her chest.
The Jade Machine had challenged every celestial being on the planet, and its confidence grew ever more inflated.
Its strikes became increasingly ruthless; every punch was meant to draw blood. In its mind, there was no distinction between right and wrong—only victory mattered!
So when Huang Yan appeared, without a second thought, it aimed to kill the person before it to prove its own strength.
Li Xiaonan silently observed everything, retracting her hand as tears welled in her eyes.
What a joke! I thought there were some kind of bosses in the celestial realm! Turns out it's all because of the Martial Soul Technique!
If one had to say there was such a "boss"... Oh my! It turns out to be the ancestor of the Martial Soul Technique!
Li Xiaonan ran his fingers through his hair, and the slightly long strands instantly turned into a bird's nest.
"This person has gone mad!"
Li Xiaonan glanced back; who else could it be but Mo Shang?
He asked, "Can you save him?"
"I can, but I don't want to!" A glimmer of amusement flashed in Mo Shang's eyes, as she was naturally seeking revenge against Li Xiaonan.
The latter merely responded with a light "oh" and carried Jade Machine into an attic.
Mo Shang was taken aback, her anger causing her to stomp her feet. She had expected Li Xiaonan to plead with her, giving her the chance to humiliate him.
However, Li Xiaonan's thoughts were quite simple: he had to become a deity!
In this world, he was not the only one practicing the Martial Soul Technique; there were also his Brother Hao and a group of cultivation disciples.
The Martial Soul Technique was like a ticking time bomb, and the only one capable of defusing it was the ancestor of the Martial Soul Sect—the legendary god!
