A majestic aura swept across the entire star region.

Terrifying ripples shook the void.

Waves of pressure surged like tsunamis, instantly shattering countless stars.

Some with weaker strength were directly crushed into pulp with a popping sound.

"Retreat quickly!"

At this moment, both those from the Immortal Realm and the Foreign Realm began to withdraw.

A beautiful and magnificent purple lotus bloomed between the stars.

Waves of mysterious dark water vapor rippled outward.

A blurry figure in purple stood upon it, like a water deity.

This was one of the Seven Sin Divine Manifestations, representing the original sin of envy—the Dark Water Purple Lotus.

Rumble!

The rules of the Divine Ruins World descended, restricting the aura of the Dark Water Purple Lotus to the quasi-supreme realm.

Yet it remained terrifyingly powerful.

The pressure alone killed countless people.

However, the Dark Water Purple Lotus clearly had no interest in entangling with these insects.

Its sole purpose was to unite the seven original sins and transform into the strongest divine evil manifestation.

"Let's go!"

With the divine manifestation now unsealed, everyone had no reason to continue fighting here and began to withdraw.

But Ji Xiaoyao's cold gaze remained indifferent as he stepped forward, continuing to pursue Chi Lingkong who had fled into the distance.

...

In the pitch-black cosmos, several streaks of crimson light flashed by.

It was the terrified Chi Lingkong and several Saint Realm masters from the Chi Xiao clan protecting his retreat.

"Damn it, how does the Ji family produce such freaks? This Ji Xiaoyao, unless my brother comes, no one can defeat him," Chi Lingkong was utterly humiliated.

This was the first time he had been so pathetic.

From the distance, a ten-thousand-foot immortal-slaying sword energy cut across, seemingly slicing through the void.

A Chi Xiao clan Saint Realm master turned to block it.

With a splashing sound, half his body was severed, blood spraying everywhere!

Seeing this, Chi Lingkong was even more terrified, fleeing at top speed.

"Think you can escape?"

Ji Xiaoyao's expression remained cold, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Those he decided to kill had no path to survival.

Ji Xiaoyao had slain Saint Realm masters while still at the Great Saint Realm.

Now at the Saint Realm himself, these Saint Realm masters were no match for him.

They were all eliminated in just two or three moves.

Chi Lingkong's face turned as white as paper.

He never imagined he would face such a day.

Backed into a corner, he could only grit his teeth and use his life-saving technique.

"Soul Disintegration!"

With a fierce shout.

Chi Lingkong's physical body spontaneously exploded.

All his flesh transformed into energy, enveloping his primordial spirit as it fled at extreme speed!

However, seeing this, Ji Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

What surprised him wasn't Chi Lingkong's technique.

Rather, this technique made him sense a familiar fluctuation.

The Nine Heavenly Books!

"This fluctuation belongs to the Soul Book, one of the Nine Heavenly Books," Ji Xiaoyao thought.

If the Body Book among the Nine Heavenly Books represented the ultimate path of physical cultivation.

Then the Soul Book represented the ultimate path of primordial spirit cultivation.

In ancient times, cultivators who obtained the Soul Book abandoned their physical bodies and achieved transcendence through their primordial spirits.

Eventually becoming emperors of primordial spirit, with boundless terror.

A single thought could turn oceans into mulberry fields!

"However, the Soul Book isn't on him. Someone must have taught him this spirit escape technique from the Soul Book," Ji Xiaoyao speculated.

He immediately thought of something.

This Chi Lingkong had an older brother named Chi Hongyu.

Could the Soul Book be in his possession?

Initially, Ji Xiaoyao thought he might find all the Heavenly Book masters on the Ultimate Ancient Path and seize the books.

Now it seemed Ji Xiaoyao had oversimplified things.

The Nine Heavenly Books weren't necessarily all in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

The Foreign Realm, Burial Lands, Nine HeavensThe Realm of Oblivion and other places.

Might all have traces of the Heavenly Books.

"If that's the case, then the Soul Book is likely in the hands of the Chi Xiao clan in the Foreign Realm. Do I need to make a trip to the Foreign Realm?" Ji Xiaoyao pondered.

While thinking, strange spatial fluctuations rippled beneath his feet.

With one step, he traversed space like shortening the ground, continuing his pursuit.

The Space Book gave Ji Xiaoyao supreme control over space.

This ability, when applied to speed, was simply unparalleled.

Meanwhile, seeing Ji Xiaoyao rapidly closing in, Chi Lingkong grew even more terrified.

"How is this possible? I still can't shake him off?"

Chi Lingkong's primordial spirit was on the verge of despair.

Just as Chi Lingkong felt utter hopelessness.

Suddenly, a strain of music drifted through the air.

This was very strange.

The Divine Ruins World was supposed to be a slaughterhouse.

A cruel world filled with blood and fire.

Yet music was spreading through it, beautiful and captivating.

This beautiful melody seemed completely out of place in this battlefield.

"Hmm?"

Ji Xiaoyao's brows slightly furrowed.

In the distant depths of space, a figure playing an ancient zither appeared.

It was a woman of about twenty, wearing long-sleeved robes.

Her figure was slender and graceful, flawless as if carved from beautiful jade.

Her willow-like eyebrows curved gently, her beautiful eyes clear, her nose straight.

Her skin was snow-white, seemingly glowing.

On her snow-white wrist was tied a red string.

The woman indeed looked extremely beautiful, with a hint of charm unconsciously revealed at the corners of her eyes and brows.

But two features revealed her identity.

From her smooth, sleek hair emerged two fox-like animal ears.

And at her hips were nine fluffy fox tails.

"A fox-eared girl?" Ji Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.

This wasn't his first encounter with fox spirits.

White Mei'er from the Celestial Fox clan was also a fox.

In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there was also the ancient royal clan, the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

However, the woman before him clearly wasn't from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan of the Immortal Realm.

When Chi Lingkong's primordial spirit saw this woman, his eyes immediately showed delight, and he shouted: "Third Princess of the Tushan Imperial Clan, please save me!"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyao's gaze flashed.

Tushan Imperial Clan?

This was an immortal imperial lineage from the Foreign Realm.

However, the Third Princess seemed to have no significant reaction.

Ji Xiaoyao raised his hand, ready to annihilate Chi Lingkong.

Seeing this, Chi Lingkong's face twisted in desperation, shouting: "Third Princess, my brother once went to Tushan to propose marriage. Although he was rejected in the end, we still have that connection, don't we?"

The Third Princess remained unmoved.

Splat!

Ji Xiaoyao's palm descended.

Chi Lingkong perished in despair.

Even in death, he couldn't understand how someone also from the Foreign Realm could watch him die without helping.

After swatting Chi Lingkong like a fly, Ji Xiaoyao turned his gaze toward the Tushan Imperial Clan's Third Princess.

He had heard of the Tushan clan.

Like the Qingqiu clan, they were one of the two major fox clan lineages.

"It seems your Foreign Realm isn't as united as it appears," Ji Xiaoyao said.

"His brother was quite annoying," the Third Princess spoke, her voice soft and charming.

What surprised Ji Xiaoyao was:

Most fox clan members were seductive and charming.

But this Third Princess seemed to be a rare exception among them.

"You must be the renowned Divine Son of the Ji family from the Immortal Realm, Ji Xiaoyao."

"This humble woman is from the Tushan clan, Tushan Xiaoxiao." Tushan Xiaoxiao smiled gently.

The corners of her eyes and brows revealed a natural charm and grace.

"If you wish to fight, this Divine Son will oblige," Ji Xiaoyao said calmly with his hands behind his back.

He wouldn't show mercy just because Tushan Xiaoxiao was a woman.

"Please listen to this humble woman play a tune."

Tushan Xiaoxiao smiled, her delicate jade fingers moving across the ancient zither.

The music flowed like a spring, immediately making people feel as if they had fallen into a dream.

It was as if countless beauties surrounded one, making one sink into temptation.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

In terms of music, he was second to none.

Ji Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in the void, casually producing a red gold-inlaid seven-stringed ancient qin.

It was the Phoenix Cry Qishan Qin.

Seeing Ji Xiaoyao bring out his qin, Tushan Xiaoxiao revealed a surprised expression.

Could it be that this Divine Son of the Ji family from the Immortal Realm not only had extraordinary talent and strength but also unparalleled artistic ability?

Could such a perfect man exist in this world?
