Hearing his words, the entire army of beasts trembled with rage. Bullying... this was nothing short of ht humiliation!

  "Alright, jokes aside," Yun Wuji tinued, his tone growing colder, "You have two choices. Either you voluntarily surrender your cores to me, and I will spare your desdants," he paused briefly, then added, "Or resist, and I will massacre every st one of you and send your desdants to join you."

  Humans have profound veins, while beasts have beast cores. However, unlike humans, who live a normal life without profound veins, beasts ot survive without their cores. So in other words, this man was essentially asking them to die!

  "Enough! Who do you think you are?!" The Blue Dragon could no longer hold his rage. With a furious roar, he charged forward, i on tearing Yun Wuji apart.

  "Kill!"

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

  "Avenger our fallen brothers!"

  At the Blue Dragon's and, the beast army surged forward in a torrent, moving like a rolling storm that covered the entire sky. The sight was nothing short of horrifying. Their massive forms blotted out the heavens as they charged relentlessly toward their enemies, a tidal wave e and bloodlust that promised nothing but destru.

  "Sed choice is it then," Yun Wuji muttered before raising his left hand.

  Suddenly, everything froze. The beasts rushing toward them, r in fury, were instantly immobilized. Even the Blue Dragon and the White S the forefront of the charge, stood still, their bodies frozen mid-motion. The world seemed to e to a sudden halt, as if time itself had been stopped, leaving behind an uling silence, only disturbed by the faint rustle of the wind.

  The only part of their bodies that remained able to move were their eyes, and they fixed them on Yun Wuji, their gazes filled with horror and disbelief.

  "I uand your indignation," Yun Wuji said, his tone calm as he addressed them. "You think what I did is unreasonable, even wicked, right?" He didn't strike immediately, instead tinuing, "But didn't each of you kill millions of life forms to feed and raise your strength? I'm just doing the same. No hard feelings, really. You just happeo be the source I o raise my cultivation."

  Almost simultaneously, the eyes of all the beasts shrank in shock. A chilling cold spread through their bodies and the sensation of death had never felt so immi. They wao open their mouths to beg for mercy, but an invisible force bound them, ae their desperate struggles, they couldn't move a single muscle.

  "Sorry, but for the greater good, I ask you all to die," Yun Wuji whispered, his tone calm. Beside him, Huan Caiyi couldn't help but twitch the er of her lips. 'This guy is so shameless, what does he even mean by 'the greater good'?'

  Uhe watchful eyes of the helpless beasts, the hand he had raised slowly ched into a fist.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  In an instant, and almost simultaneously, the massive bodies of the beasts erupted, bursting into a gruesome shower of blood and flesh. The gore rained down upon the nd, staining the ground a deep, crimson red.

  This once-mighty army, capable of leveling the three tis even if they were ten times stronger, was utterly annihited with a single move!

  "Order the people to collect the cores ahem to me. As for the rest of their bodies, do whatever you see fit with it." Yun Wuji said, patting Huan Caiyi's shoulder. For a brief moment, he sidered patting her plump butt, but he decided against it, there were just too many people watg.

  "Hmm, don't worry, I'll hahe rest," Huan Caiyi hen leaned forward, pnting a quick kiss on his lips. She whispered softly, "When I return tonight, I want my reward~"

  "Hmm, I'll make sure to give my empress plenty of hard and thick 'rewards,'" Yun Wuji chuckled before stepping into the spatial crad vanishing.

  ---

  Time flowed like a fleeting breeze, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year slipped quietly.

  In front of a secluded room within the Yun Pace, Yun Wuji stood a few meters aag bad forth.

  "Master, why are you so impatient? That little brat should be out soon," The Evil Infant, sittiween his shoulders, couldn't stand the pag and said.

  "...You're right, I am a bit anxious," Yun Wuji admitted, stopping in his tracks. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he looked at her. "I've been calling you the Evil Infant for so long. Do you want a name?"

  "What? Really?" The Evil Infant suddenly jumped from his shoulder, nding in front of his fad pulling his cheeks looking at him with wide-open eyes. "You're not lying, right?!"

  The Evil Infant's rea surprised Yun Wuji. He hadn't expected her to show so much emotiohis. He nodded and replied, "Of course. I actually meant to tell you this years ago, but I thought you didn't like the idea since you never brought it up."

  "Hehehe! Hahaha! Finally, I'll have a oo!" The Evil Infant didn't seem to hear his words. She floated around, shouting in pure happiness.

  "Say, say, what is my name?" After expressing her happiness, she turo Yun Wuji and asked eagerly.

  "You like the color bck, you're small, cute, and sometimes mischievous, so your name is Hei Xiaolian!" Yun Wuji said, gently lifting her small body into his hand.

  "Hei Xiaolian... Xiaolian... good... good... I like it, hehehe!" Hei Xiaolian muttered her new name, nodding her head repeatedly. At the same time, tears fell from her eyes. She looked at him with a wide smile and said, "I hought there would be someone who would take care of me, py with me, give me delicious food, and even grant me a name. Master, thank you!"

  "...Hmm," Yun Wuji didn't know what to say to her at this moment. In the end, he pulled her tiny body into his arms and silently patted her back.

  "What are you doing?" Suddenly, the door of the room opened, and Jasmine's voice rang out. She looked at them with a strange expression befazing at Yun Wuji with ptuous eyes. "So, you finally decided to y your hands on this wicked thing?"

  "Who are you calling wicked, you fug tsundere!" Hei Xiaolian jumped from his arms and shouted angrily at Jasmine. "I have a name! Call me Hei Xiaolian!"

  "Hei Xiaolian?" Jasmiilted her head, looking a bit fused. Then she snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! That suits a wicked thing like you."

  Both of them gred at each other, sparks flying as their gazes locked. Finally, they snorted in unison and looked away. "Hmph!"

  "gratutions, you successfully mao recreate your body," Yun Wuji said, his gaze lingering on Jasmine's body for a moment before speaking.

  After nearly two years, the poison inside her was pletely sed. With the enhanced efficy of the Sky Poison Pearl, now possessing a spirit, and Jasmine never using her profound energy, which prevehe poison from rebounding, the purification process happened much faster than in the novel.

  "Hmph! Even though this is the first time I've used this teique, with your Divine in's blood essehe process was smoother than I expected," Jasmine crossed her arms under her busty chest, drawing a graceful ard said in a haughty tone.

  Yep, you read it right, she isn't ft!

  Over a year ago, Hei Xiaolian tricked Jasmio giving up her food in exge for the spirit-thiing teique Yun Wuji had given her. Sihen, Jasmine had been using it, and it had caused her body to blossom into a busty beauty.

  Wearing a red dress, Jasmine had grown taller. Her long, silky scarlet hair cascaded down her back, and her mesmerizing face had bee even more bewitg.

  Her red eyes, still piergly cold, softened whehey nded on Yun Wuji. Her o chest had transformed into a pair of full, alluring breasts, and her waist had bee curvier, f a seductive S-shape.

  "How much of your strength have you recovered?" Yun Wuji's gaze didn't linger on her body for long. He quickly focused, askihe important question.

  "10%. inally, it would have taken me more than a year to fully recover, but with the help of yht Profound Energy, that time be shorteo just a few weeks," Jasmine replied, walking to him. After a brief pause, she added, "But even with my current strength, I easily locate the so-called Primordial Profound Ark you're searg for, as long as it's within the space around or close to this p."
