Song Yan said, "We need to hold on for at least a month."
Demon Mother Su Yao replied, "Why should I hold on?
I feel you’re doomed, Song Lang.
Rather than letting the Demon Ancestor benefit, why don’t we merge together?"
She looked at Song Yan passionately, hugging him tenderly, then stretched her white neck, leaning on his shoulder, whispering softly, "Instead of benefiting others, why not benefit me? After all, we are lovers, just short of marriage, I’m already your little wife."
Song Yan said, "Can you get out by possessing my body?"
With that sentence, Demon Mother Su Yao fell silent.
The Insect Queen, Elephant Emperor, their power was too formidable; if her original body descended, it wouldn’t be a problem, but now... Whether it’s in this little wife’s body or Song Yan’s body, they are doomed to perish here, and their millennium-long plan is destined to be all for naught, like a mirage.
She had no choice but to retreat to the Sea of Suffering and go with the flow; who knows how long it would be before she could fortuitously encounter another Soul Threshold.
Song Yan suddenly said, "I’ve thought of a good idea."
Demon Mother Su Yao asked anxiously, "What idea?"
Song Yan replied, "Let me fuse with you. This way, my Divine Soul Power will be unprecedentedly strong; even if I still can’t defeat the Insect Queen, Elephant Emperor, I can at least play hide and seek with them in this Tumor Realm.
If I can bypass them, I’ll be able to escape.
Then, I will separate you out, assist you in your sacrifice, help your original body escape the Sea of Suffering and descend to the world.
Right now, you must only be part of your original body’s power, right?
Then give me that part of your power."
Demon Mother Su Yao asked, "How is that different from me taking over your body?"
Song Yan said, "There’s a difference; my power is most handy when I use it myself, and my behavior is familiar to others. If it were you, they’d see right through it, so only by merging with me do we have a chance to break through."
After saying this, he excitedly grabbed Demon Mother Su Yao’s shoulders and said, "Yao’Er, trust me, I mean what I say, and once we’re safe, I promise to separate you out, to help you fulfill your dream of escaping the Sea of Suffering and descending to the world!"
Demon Mother Su Yao coldly replied, "Enough."
Song Yan laughed faintly and released his grip.
Demon Mother Su Yao said, "Let’s talk about something more realistic. If you’ve got a plan, don’t keep it hidden. Neither of us can do anything to the other, yet we stand on the same side. Let’s not harm each other, let’s just get out of here first."
Song Yan said, "I’m half a step away from the Late Stage of Purple Mansion. I need to break through as soon as possible. What about you, do you have any plans?"
Demon Mother Su Yao’s expression was profound as she replied, "I have one too."
...
...
There used to be quite a few Netherworld Corpse Demons here. Heaven and earth used the Lingbo Ancient Race, sacrificing them to suppress these Netherworld Corpse Demons.
Now, most have been digested, but there is still one left alive."
Song Yan said, "So your plan is to use an Absolute Profound Array to seal this Secret Realm, making it so that those who enter cannot use magic or even lifebound secret techniques, then let the physically formidable Netherworld Corpse Demon kill them."
Demon Mother Su Yao said, "That’s right. As for the physical level of the Netherworld Corpse Demons... let me explain a bit.
Your body gives me the feeling of a Cultivator from the Ancient Crimson Palace, while the Netherworld Corpse Demon corresponds to the physical level of an Ancient Divine Infant Cultivator, two major levels above you.
While they cannot use magic, in the case of Absolute Profundity, they are complete killing machines.
So, are you reassured now?"
Song Yan nodded.
Whether reassured or not, he didn’t know, but he knew he needed to quickly break through to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion and comprehend his Lifebound Secret Technique. If time permitted, he needed to find a way to refine the Demon Monk for his own use.
Meanwhile, a strange feeling arose in Song Yan’s heart.
Previously, in the Soul Threshold of the Pack King, the Demon Monk meticulously arranged and lured everyone to the end of the Soul Threshold to catch them all in one net.
Now, it was his turn.
