Within the Heavenly Poison Prison Realm.
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations erupting outside, Old Ghost Earth Demon's expression turned extremely ugly. The hand hidden within his sleeve trembled uncontrollably.
"Damn it, How could that junior possibly unleash such an attack with his strength?"
At this moment, even he could not suppress the trace of regret rising within his heart.
The Little Fairy Doctor wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and smiled coldly.
"Old monster, it seems everything is over."
"Heavenly Poison Prison Realm, Release!"
With a graceful wave of her hand, a mysterious fluctuation spread outward.
The enormous grayish-purple spatial prison hanging across the heavens immediately rippled. The distorted space gradually returned to normal, and within only a few moments, the entire twisted region had completely recovered.
The grayish-purple poisonous mist filling the prison instantly lost its restraints and prepared to spread in every direction.
However, in the very next instant, the poisonous mist suddenly froze in place.
It was as though an overwhelming suction force had erupted from its center, violently pulling every strand of poison back toward a single point.
In the blink of an eye, every trace of poisonous mist had been reabsorbed, revealing two figures before everyone's eyes.
Realizing that he had been locked onto by that terrifying power, Old Ghost Earth Demon forced an ugly smile onto his withered face.
"Young friend, don't be rash. There has been a misunderstanding between us. I was mistaken about Fang Yan's matter. I'll leave immediately."
Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the blood staining the Little Fairy Doctor's sleeve.
The coldness within his eyes deepened.
"Too late. Since you've come, you may remain here forever."
His indifferent words carried an icy killing intent so absolute that Old Ghost Earth Demon's heart sank into despair.
"Three Radiance God-Slaying Seal!"
Lin Yuan pressed his palm against empty space.
The Three Radiance Seal separated from his palm before trembling violently and transforming into a hazy beam of light that shot forward.
Wherever it passed, space itself was ripped open, leaving behind a pitch-black crack over thirty feet wide.
Old Ghost Earth Demon's blood-red pupils contracted violently.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
He dared not show the slightest carelessness.
His hand seals changed rapidly as endless blood-colored freezing Qi surged outward.
"Blood Frost Thousandfold Barrier!"
With a furious roar, the blood-red freezing Qi spiraled through the sky, weaving countless overlapping crimson defensive barriers.
Layer upon layer, they stacked together like a rotating blood-colored storm.
Terrifying freezing energy spread outward, releasing scarlet cold Qi so intense that it seemed capable of freezing even one's soul.
At the same moment, the God-Slaying Seal tore through space and arrived before him.
Under countless gazes, the hazy seal and the crimson defensive barriers collided violently in midair.
An incomparably brilliant light erupted.
A deafening explosion echoed like heavenly thunder.
Destructive power and freezing Qi clashed head-on as a horrifying energy storm exploded outward, tearing the surrounding space into countless fragments.
"Break!"
Lin Yuan shouted as his hand seal suddenly changed.
Following the change in his seal, the glowing Divine Seal emitted a strand of eerie radiance.
As waves of destructive energy spread outward, the seal pierced through layer after layer of crimson barriers with unstoppable momentum.
It passed straight through the freezing vortex before arriving directly before Old Ghost Earth Demon.
"No!"
"Impossible!"
Amid Old Ghost Earth Demon's horrified eyes and despair-filled roar, the Three Radiance God-Slaying Seal exploded completely.
A dazzling white radiance, brighter than the sun itself, burst forth.
Space shattered inch by inch.
An endless storm of destructive energy swept across the heavens, completely engulfing Old Ghost Earth Demon.
The pure white energy storm shone so brilliantly that no one could look directly at it.
At that moment, space itself seemed to lose all meaning.
Only endless destruction and surging energy remained.
Several minutes later.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the heavens. An energy ripple over a hundred feet wide swept across hundreds of miles of sky.
The dark clouds covering the heavens for hundreds of miles were instantly scattered away.
The entire sky became an immaculate expanse of azure blue.
Within the Inner Academy, violent tremors spread everywhere.
Numerous mountains cracked apart, while countless buildings split under the shockwave.
When the energy storm finally dissipated.
Nothing remained at its center.
Only empty space.
"Old Ghost Earth Demon is dead?"
"He was completely reduced to ashes?"
Everyone below unconsciously looked toward Lin Yuan.
Their eyes were filled with awe and fear that they could no longer conceal.
Today, they had witnessed the birth of a legend.
A young man not yet twenty years old had defeated Old Ghost Earth Demon, the tyrant who had dominated the Black-Corner Region for countless years.
"Reduced to ashes?"
Lin Yuan smiled faintly.
"Impossible."
He let out a clear shout.
"Zi Yan your turn."
"Finally my turn?"
"I've been waiting forever. Watch this!"
A crisp, lively voice rang through the sky.
A brilliant burst of deep violet light bloomed not far from Lin Yuan.
Within the hazy purple radiance, Zi Yan's petite body rapidly began to grow.
In the blink of an eye, her graceful figure fully matured.
Silky violet hair flowed down her back, continuing to grow until it reached her shapely hips before finally stopping.
In only a moment, a heroic and breathtaking young woman dressed in violet stood proudly in the sky.
"Dragon Fist... Burst!"
With a delicate shout, overwhelming violet light erupted from Zi Yan's body.
Her jade-like fist clenched tightly.
The violet radiance rapidly gathered around it, vaguely forming the phantom of a dragon's head.
She stamped heavily upon empty space.
A ring of spatial ripples spread outward like waves across water.
The next instant, Zi Yan shot forward like a violet dragon.
In a flash, she appeared before what seemed to be nothing but empty space and threw a punch.
"You sneaky rat hiding in the shadows, get out here, Auntie is calling you!"
Purple radiance erupted from Zi Yan's jade-like fist like a volcanic eruption. The purple glow, the force of her punch, and the overwhelming Dragon Might fused together, condensing into a vast and mighty force upon her fist before crashing into a seemingly empty patch of space.
That combined force did not shoot forward directly. Instead, it tore through space itself, pouring all of its power into the void.
"Bang——"
A muffled explosion echoed through the void as the tremendous force slammed into a concealed figure.
The next moment, a pitch-black spatial crack suddenly split open at that location, and a miserable figure was violently spat out from within.
Everyone looked over.
It was the Earth Demon Old Ghost.
Although he was still alive, his body was drenched in blood, his appearance was incomparably miserable, and his aura had weakened to an extreme degree.
At this moment, the Earth Demon Old Ghost still clung to his last breath, but his entire body was soaked in blood, and he looked utterly wretched. His aura was so weak that it seemed he could die at any moment.
Using the last of his strength, he barely suppressed the violent energy raging within his body. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he glared venomously at Lin Yuan and Zi Yan.
"I never imagined that you would actually see through this old man's spatial concealment technique. Today..."
"Old fellow, you talk too much."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold laugh rang out.
Before the words had even faded, space trembled slightly as Little Fairy Doctor appeared before the Earth Demon Old Ghost like a ghost. Her jade-like hand formed a blade, wrapped in Nether Poison Flame.
Seeing this, the Earth Demon Old Ghost hurriedly circulated the remaining Dou Qi within his body, preparing to escape once more.
However, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes suddenly flashed with an eerie light, activating the Woeful Poison Blood she had secretly planted inside his body during their battle within the Heavenly Poison Prison Realm.
When he had been at full strength, the Earth Demon Old Ghost could forcibly suppress it.
But now as Little Fairy Doctor activated it, his body instantly froze.
In that brief instant, Little Fairy Doctor's jade hand, wrapped in Nether Poison Flame, shot forward without the slightest hesitation, piercing straight through the Earth Demon Old Ghost's throat and completely severing his life.
The tyrant of the Black-Corner Region, the Earth Demon Old Ghost had completely fallen.
Lin Yuan flew over, letting out a long sigh of relief as he stored the corpse of this infamous old devil of the Black-Corner Region inside his Storage Ring.
The old fellow had been a Seven-Star Dou Ancestor. Both his corpse and his soul would still prove useful in many ways later on.
He then shifted his gaze toward the chaotic battlefield below.
The experts of Demon Flame Valley immediately became like frightened birds the moment they noticed Lin Yuan's gaze, scattering and fleeing in every direction.
The three of them flashed through the air and returned to Grand Elder Su Qian's side.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly with a smile.
"Grand Elder, please head over to suppress the fellow inside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower first. The people over there are already nearing their limits. Leave the pursuit to us."
Su Qian glanced at the smug-looking Zi Yan before nodding.
"I'll leave it to you. This old man will suppress that beast. Everyone, follow me to the bottom of the tower and reinforce the seal!"
With that, he led more than a dozen figures as they shot toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Lin Yuan glanced in Yao Lao's direction before turning toward Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor.
His expression turned cold.
"Zi Yan, Little Fairy Doctor, let's move. Kill every last invader."
Hearing this, the two girls nodded.
The three of them split into three different directions and began hunting down the fleeing enemies.
Not long afterward as Lin Yuan twisted the neck of the final Demon Flame Valley Dou Emperor, the battle of Jia Nan Academy officially came to an end.
A few minutes later, the three reunited atop a mountain peak within the Inner Academy.
"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan! Wasn't this young lady amazing this time?"
Zi Yan looked at Lin Yuan proudly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of purple light suddenly erupted from within her body.
Her mature and alluring figure rapidly shrank.
Within only a few blinks, the breathtaking beauty transformed back into her little girl appearance once again.
"Ah! My body! Why did it change back again? I wasn't even finished showing off!"
Zi Yan angrily stomped her little foot.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged smiles.
Life was never boring with this little girl around.
Little Fairy Doctor then took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Yuan.
"These are for you. Inside are the corpses of the Gold and Silver Elders and several other Dou Emperors. I didn't destroy their souls. I deliberately preserved them for you."
"As expected of you. Always so thoughtful."
Lin Yuan accepted the Storage Ring with a chuckle.
He then sensed the condition of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and, after confirming that the Fallen Heart Flame had once again been suppressed, smiled.
"Little Fairy Doctor, there are no more enemies. Undo the secret technique. The Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame places quite a burden on the body."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan formed a hand seal, canceling the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame.
A wave of weakness immediately washed over him.
Little Fairy Doctor likewise dispelled the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame before resealing her Woeful Poison Body.
"We'll rest for today. Tomorrow we'll head to Demon Flame Valley and clean out their treasury to collect today's spoils."
Lin Yuan smiled.
"Everyone who came here today has been eliminated. We don't have to worry about anyone getting there before us."
That had been precisely why he chose to exterminate every invading enemy today.
Otherwise, if anyone had escaped back to Demon Flame Valley and fled with its treasures, wouldn't all of today's hard work have been for nothing?
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Zi Yan immediately cheered.
"Treasure hunting! Looting! Yay!"
The three chatted and laughed as they flew toward the Medicine Garden.
On another mountain peak within the Inner Academy.
"It's over."
Yao Lao withdrew his powerful Spiritual Perception and sighed.
"That boy Lin Yuan really cultivates at an astonishing speed. In just half a year, he has advanced from a Six-Star Dou Emperor to the Half-Ancestor realm."
"Little Yan, work hard. That opponent is far from ordinary."
"Yes, Teacher."
Xiao Yan nodded earnestly.
After pondering for a moment, he asked.
"Teacher, can I cultivate that Three Radiance Seal Technique?"
There was obvious excitement in his eyes.
He had personally witnessed Lin Yuan's Three Radiance God-Slaying Seal just now.
Its terrifying power far surpassed both the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler and the Two-Colored Fire Lotus.
"Look at you, getting impatient again."
Yao Lao patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder with a smile.
"That seal technique doesn't suit you. When the time is right, this old man will teach you something more suitable. For now, you should first master your Fire Lotus Technique."
"I understand."
Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled bitterly.
"Seal techniques...?"
Xun Er's eyes suddenly lit up.
After sensing that Ling Ying had already gone far away, Gu Xun Er looked toward Xiao Yan and softly said,
"If Brother Xiao Yan likes seal techniques, Xun Er happens to have one..."
The next day, at the Medicine Garden.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged on the bed.
He withdrew his cultivation hand seals and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
A sharp light flashed through his deep eyes.
"One step closer to becoming a Dou Ancestor. As expected, battle truly is the best way to temper one's cultivation."
After an entire night of cultivation, Lin Yuan had completely recovered from yesterday's battle.
At the same time, after pushing himself to his limits during his fight against the Earth Demon Old Ghost, even the bottleneck restraining his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had loosened slightly.
Lin Yuan could clearly sense that it would not be long before he grasped the opportunity to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm.
Shaking away his thoughts, Lin Yuan stretched lazily before getting off the bed.
While loosening his body, he opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
When he arrived, Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor had already been waiting for quite some time.
Zi Yan placed her hands on her waist and pouted.
"Brother, you're too slow. We're going to raid Demon Flame Valley today. If we're late, all the good stuff might be gone!"
"You little girl, you're only this enthusiastic when it comes to looting."
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly as he rubbed Zi Yan's head before turning toward Little Fairy Doctor.
His voice softened.
"You released the Woeful Poison Body yesterday. How are you feeling now?"
Little Fairy Doctor gently waved her hand.
"I'm fine. After sealing it again, it's calmed down for now. It won't cause any trouble for the time being."
After a brief pause, she continued.
"I won't be accompanying you to Demon Flame Valley. After completely releasing my Woeful Poison Body, the bottleneck in my cultivation has loosened, and I've accumulated a great deal of high-quality poison essence. It's time for me to enter secluded cultivation."
"If my intuition is correct, I should be able to break through by one star after this seclusion."
"That's good."
Lin Yuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, cultivate in peace. There is nothing left in the Black-Corner Region capable of threatening us."
"Mm."
Not long afterward, two streaks of light, one green and one purple, flew out of the Inner Academy and sped toward Demon Flame Valley.
