This high ridge, whose nature is unknown, was struck by the mountain-sized Qing Yang, emitting a burst of yellow light without any damage.
"Chen Shi" leaped into the air, dodging Hu Xiaoliang’s attack, withstood Granny Sha’s strike from the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp, and only slightly wobbled, without letting Granny Sha blast the Demon Soul out of the body.
Du Yiran wielded an axe in one hand and a chisel in the other, and with a move of both magical treasures, the surroundings of "Chen Shi" were filled with shadows of axes and chisels, attacking "Chen Shi"!
His skills in space techniques were unparalleled, catching opponents off guard with attacks launched from afar appearing right beside them.
However, before these axe lights and chisel strikes could land on "Chen Shi," countless flower stamens appeared from his head, countering from all directions, blocking all of Du Yiran’s attacks!
Meanwhile, Azhuo integrated the Void Great Realm with his physical body, containing tremendous mana within, facing "Chen Shi" head-on!
Qing Yang and Hu Xiaoliang quickly regrouped and charged from the left and right sides.
Du Yiran accelerated his offensive as much as possible, limiting the stamen attacks from "Chen Shi’s" head to prevent them from attacking others.
Granny Sha let out a commanding shout, revealing her true form as a lady of the empire, activating the Supreme Trigram Protection Technique, unfolding the Water and Fire Domain, and using water and fire to sacrificially refine "Chen Shi’s" Demon Soul, while striking the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp with her palm, causing the lamp light to surge and strike "Chen Shi."
Finally, "Chen Shi’s" Demon Soul wavered.
Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they pressed the attack forward in unison.
Granny Sha shouted continuously, and the lady of the empire wielded the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp. The lamp flame surged hundreds of feet, blasting out, forcing the Demon Soul out of "Chen Shi’s" body!
The Black Pot seized the opportunity, pouncing and biting the Demon Soul, pulling it out with force, dragging the Demon Soul out of Chen Shi’s corpse!
Du Yiran immediately stepped forward, raised the Soul-searching Bag, placed the Demon Soul inside, and secured the bag tightly.
Chen Shi’s corpse lay face up on the ground.
The Demon Domain that enveloped the surrounding two hundred miles gradually faded and dissipated.
Granny Sha immediately said, "I made a mistake in my arrangement; those altars should be farther away! I’ll move them..."
Lying face up on the ground, Chen Shi suddenly laughed, then stood straight up and shook his head, saying, "I’ve waited many years for today."
He folded his hands behind his back, his body unmoving, but his head turned around, taking in the surrounding crowd and Black Pot.
Granny Sha said distressingly, "Be gentle with Little Ten’s physical body, don’t break the neck!"
"Chen Shi" didn’t care, twisting his head around like it had no bones, stretching his neck and rotating his head one and a half turns back to the original position, praising, "This physical body is refined well. We are called demons by you, formed by the demonic nature of the underworld. We are the primates of all underworld creatures. Unfortunately, we are different from the ghost monsters of the underworld. They have physical bodies; we do not. Because of their physical bodies, it’s easier for them to enter the mortal world. We, without physical bodies, can only remain in the underworld. But now..."
He revealed a strange smile, "I finally have a physical body!"
In a state of uncontainable excitements, he suddenly grew dozens of extremely thick arms from his back, plunging them into the barrier between the Yin Yang Two Realms, shouted forcefully, and tore open the realm, escaping from the underworld!
Granny Sha was stupefied, quickly called out, "Black Pot, catch up with him!"
The Black Pot roared a gust of yin wind, sweeping everyone back to the mortal world with a whoosh.
Du Yiran shouted loudly, "We can’t let him conjure the Demon Domain or perform the Demon Transformation, or countless people will perish!"
Qing Yang exclaimed in frustration, "Sha Qiutong, your arrangement was completely useless!"
"Chen Shi’s" laughter echoed from afar, like a giant ape with dozens of arms, bounding between mountaintops, fleeing into the distance.
"I am free!" "Chen Shi" shouted.
Chen Shi had already reached the tangled roots of the old willow tree, looking up at this giant, scrutinizing the Stele, thinking, "No wonder the Stele couldn’t be dug out; it is rooted in the underworld and entwined with roots, so it can’t be moved."
He looked up at the mirrored image of the mortal world and could vaguely see the scene of the towering tree, with a slight stir in his heart, "This willow tree indeed connects to the mortal world!"
He even saw Zhu Xiu hanging from the tree, resembling a thousand-foot giant suspended in the air.
Chen Shi was in shock, unconsciously looked back, and saw his own corpse’s return to the mortal world.
