Shi Feiyang asked Grandmaster Ha Ha, "What is the secret about Chi You that you mentioned?"

Grandmaster Ha Ha responded from within a pool of blood burning with purple and blue flames, "First, swear an oath to the heavens that you will not kill me, allowing me to leave safely, and I will tell you."

"Forget about it then!"

Shi Feiyang intensified the fire, with bursts of Purple and Blue True Fire shooting out even more densely.

Grandmaster Ha Ha repeatedly said, "I know you are preventing Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor from finding the third piece of Chi You's Primordial Spirit!"

"Did he already find it?"

"He wouldn't have found it, but I helped him find it! I've prepared to leave an intention-born body hidden in the void. If I die, he will go back and tell Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor to help him find the third piece of Chi You's Primordial Spirit! Don't kill me; I can keep a secret..."

"If I don't kill you, you will use this secret to threaten me forever! Better to kill you now!"

Grandmaster Ha Ha urgently shouted, "If you kill me today, Chi You will emerge tomorrow, and the world will be piled high with skeletons who forget their names; beneath the Green Maple Forest, ghosts will sigh, all because of your sins!"

"If I don't kill you, Chi You is destined to emerge anyway. Keeping you alive would only add thousands more mountains of skeletons to the world!"

Grandmaster Ha Ha had cultivated to a realm nearly indestructible. Typically, such beings only die from Heavenly Punishment.

Although the Purple and Blue Douluo Fire was fierce, it would still take at least eighty-one days to fully refine him. Otherwise, if even a trace of his Soul escaped, he could revive later.

Shi Feiyang ran out of patience in continuously burning him, so he released the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, pointing his finger, "A feast before you; why not hurry up and indulge! Be sure to leave nothing behind!"

A Demon Mother and nine Demon Children doubted their ears.

Since their birth, Shi Feiyang had used the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler to warn them not to harm any creature without his permission—not even an ant.

Shi Feiyang knew that once these demons tasted human blood and souls, they would develop a craving and drool upon seeing humans thereafter.

So he simply did not allow them even a taste of fresh blood; they wouldn't starve anyway.

Moreover, Shi Feiyang was very strict with them, punishing them harshly for any slight error, tormenting them to the point they wished they could just die.

To be a demon to this extent was truly unique in the world.

Now, Shi Feiyang had unexpectedly released them, openly allowing them to feast!

The pool of blood and flesh on the ground pulsed and flowed, clearly from a powerful cultivator, filled with rich Essence Energy.

They had never expected that they, who had never eaten well before, could have such a rare and excellent delicacy for their first meal!

"Are you not going yet? Why the delay?"

The Demon Mother and children, confirming Shi Feiyang truly allowed them to eat, burst out in cheers and pounced together.

Since Purple and Blue Douluo Fire was deadly to all demons, Shi Feiyang withdrew the flames beforehand.

The nine Demon Children were first to latch onto the bloodstain, sucking vigorously. Then, not satisfied, the Demon Mother shook her body, split into nine, and also threw herself at it, fiercely sucking the blood into her belly.

Grandmaster Ha Ha, shocked and furious, bellowed loudly, managing to crawl out of the blood as before. First appearing as a White Bone Skull, he rapidly grew his body, torso, and limbs.

The eighteen demons couldn't wait for him to fully regenerate and lunged at him, biting into his flesh, vigorously sucking blood, Essence Energy, and Soul, securing his Primordial Spirit in their grasp. He couldn't even flee and transform!

Grandmaster Ha Ha could only focus on stabilizing his Primordial Spirit, condensing spirit by spirit, solidifying Essence, resisting their extraction, and meanwhile, begged Shi Feiyang for mercy.

Shi Feiyang coldly observed, responding with nothing.

This spectacle was known as "Nine Ghosts Devouring Souls." Unlike other demons, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon didn't just suck his Essence Blood; their bite captured his Soul too, preventing him from escaping using Divine Power Techniques, ultimately devouring his body and Primordial Spirit together.

Once Jiu Panpo captured Yi Jing, she intended to use this approach to kill her, ensuring that her body and soul were destroyed. Luckily, Master Miao Yi happened by to plead on her behalf and managed to reclaim Yi Jing's Primordial Spirit.

With eighteen demons biting him, Grandmaster Ha Ha realized he couldn't escape by any means, feeling a growing despair.

He knew his only chance to live hinged on a single thought from Shi Feiyang, so he thought about ways to change his mind.

But Shi Feiyang knew well that Grandmaster Ha Ha, though not having attained Pure Yang, possessed Divine Power Technique far greater than an ordinary Pure Yang Heavenly Immortal. The Nine Child Mother Sky Demon alone couldn't quickly tear him apart.

Thus, he summoned the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords. The Demon Swords appeared in the sky, glinting brightly before he nonchalantly waved them down and sheathed them again.

Grandmaster Ha Ha's body, along with his soul, was sliced into eighteen parts by the Demon Sword.

Nine Child Mother Sky Demons, their mouths widening more than a carriage wheel, fiercely inhaled and swallowed the pieces of Grandmaster Ha Ha directly into their stomachs!

Then, they sucked up the remaining bloodstains in one breath, leaving not a trace left.

At that moment, they felt their first innate satisfaction and collectively thanked Shi Feiyang, "Thank you, Master, for feeding us!"

Even the nine little demons burped satisfyingly, their words carrying a hint of sincerity.

At that time, Shi Feiyang himself was outside, contending with the Grey Flames Evil Light emitted by the Heavenly Treasure Mirror and Heavenly Jade Lotus.

He raised his hand and collected the Nine Child Mother Sky Demons, along with the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords and the avatar of Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire.

Deng Yin had already subdued Miaomiao, sealing her Primordial Spirit and completely imprisoning her within a tower of blood-colored Demon Light, and he came to meet Shi Feiyang.

With Grandmaster Ha Ha's body and soul destroyed and his Second Primordial Spirit fused with Miaomiao but then restricted by Deng Yin's spell,

the power of the Heavenly Jade Lotus greatly diminished.

Shi Feiyang used the Heavenly Treasure Mirror to fire a light that robustly countered the Evil Light spraying from the lotus, completely severing its connection with the Heavenly Evil Qi and restoring it to its original form.

Deng Yin looked at Shi Feiyang, "Is Grandmaster Ha Ha truly completely killed?"

Shi Feiyang nodded and then shook his head, "Miaomiao still harbors his Second Primordial Spirit inside her."

Deng Yin said, "If you trust me, brother, hand him over to me. We followed quickly, and it happened suddenly. Grandmaster Ha Ha's Primordial Spirit hasn't fully merged with hers yet. I can use a method to separate them again."

"I don't trust you," Shi Feiyang bluntly put it, "I'll handle it myself."

Deng Yin, slightly embarrassed, let out a laugh but did not persist. He withdrew the Demon Light that restrained Miaomiao and handed her over to Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang took Miaomiao into the palace, where she was laid flat on a couch.

Back when Shi Feiyang underwent his tribulation, he had lain there while Mo Zhui and others fended off attackers, with only Miaomiao caring for him.

Miaomiao looked at him and suddenly spoke, "Do you really need to eliminate everything? If you kill me, she will vanish into oblivion too!"

It was clearly Grandmaster Ha Ha's Second Primordial Spirit speaking.

His words were not entirely wrong. Miaomiao, born of the Heavenly Jade Lotus and being different, had a weak Primordial Spirit. Grandmaster Ha Ha, being so powerful, dominated completely though it was only his Second Primordial Spirit.

If Shi Feiyang forcibly separated their Primordial Spirits, Miaomiao would likely perish!

However, Miaomiao's origin did have its advantages. As long as the roots of the Heavenly Jade Lotus remained intact, even if her soul perished, the remnants could return to the lotus itself. Sustained by the Essence Energy of the lotus, it wouldn't take many years for her to be reborn.

Just like Mo Zhui and the others, even if they were destroyed in form and soul, real annihilation wasn't definite as long as the original root still existed, always holding the hope of rebirth!

Shi Feiyang had Deng Yin protect him while he took Miaomiao to the top of the White Jade Lotus, sitting face to face. He first allowed the White Jade Lotus to emit nine streams of white Qi to hold him, then he cast the Nine Heavens Yang Yuan Great Technique to forcibly separate her Primordial Spirit from Grandmaster Ha Ha's Second Primordial Spirit.

His method was rough yet highly effective.

After the separation, Miaomiao looked at him, tears streaming down as if awakening from a deep dream, "Brother, I didn't know what came over me, saying those words, I was under his control... but those words reflected my thoughts at that moment, as if possessed by a ghost..."

"It's not your fault," Shi Feiyang consoled, "blame me for not predicting he would do this, a thousand-three-hundred-year-old demon stooping so low in morals. Rest well now."

Shi Feiyang placed her Primordial Spirit into the rhizome under the waters of the Heavenly Jade Lotus, using the vitality of the water and wood Essence Energy to recuperate. Though significantly weakened, she would eventually recover fully, given the strong life force of plants which can even sprout roots and grow from a mere branch stuck in soil.

This is also a strength of plant-based beings.

Then, Shi Feiyang released the Nine Child Mother Sky Demons.

Grandmaster Ha Ha trembled like a sieve, realizing that this time he was indeed facing true death.

He pleaded desperately for mercy, bringing up Chi You's Third Primordial Spirit, "If you spare me, I'll tell you about Chi You! Furthermore, I'll give you all my lifelong learnings... either take my Primordial Spirit to refine into a Magical Treasure or turn me into a demon. I'll serve you as a bull does its master, whatever you ask, I'll do, whoever you want me to kill, I'll kill..."

Shi Feiyang remained unmoved and waved his hand. The impatient Nine Child Mother Sky Demons immediately pounced.

Grandmaster Ha Ha's Second Primordial Spirit, not as condensed and stable as his original, was directly torn into eighteen parts by the Demons, who then satisfyingly absorbed it into their stomachs!

Finally, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demons feasted on fresh blood. Devouring such a supreme expert and completely absorbing his Essence Blood and refining his Primordial Spirit Soul, their power would drastically increase.

Unfortunately, there was only one Grandmaster Ha Ha. Though divided into eighteen parts, the improvement was limited. If there had been eighteen Grandmaster Ha Has for each demon, that would have been truly formidable!
