Ye Yu and Xu Nanqiao were shocked to find themselves back at the very spot where they had first met Tang Tianjia. Only this time, Tang Tianjia’s face was half mangled into a bloody blur, and his right hand was shattered and incomplete. It was clear that the recent Fragmented Sword Demon-Slaying Art had dealt him tremendous harm.
But Ye Yu couldn't understand how that brat had managed to pull them back. They had already reached the exit to the Demon Realm passage—a single step from happily returning to the Demon Realm and ending this ascent to Heaven with a perfect finale. So why had it reset now? Was this the power of the Immortal Emperor? It seemed a bit excessive!
In Ye Yu’s mind, Xu Nanqiao’s inner voice transmitted:
“Stars’ Shift pulled us back here. But it’s fine—let me run again, then you deal with him once more. This time it should work: Stars’ Shift /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ can only be cast on the same target once every thirty days; he can’t pull us back again!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu forced a smile at Xu Nanqiao. As they say, people really do smile when they’re speechless!
The Fragmented Sword Demon-Slaying Art thrives on surprise. He had just shattered Tang Tianjia’s true Immortal Sword—did he really expect the Immortal Emperor to casually produce another sword for him to destroy? Did Tang Tianjia think Immortal Emperors’ brains were mush?
Tang Tianjia shouted, “Do you really think Immortal Emperors’ minds are mush?” then charged at Ye Yu. Raging, he added, “Damn you, bastard! How dare you ruin my Immortal Sword Peach Blossom! I swear I’ll forsake immortality if I don’t kill you!”
But instead of raising a hand to defend, Ye Yu grabbed Xu Nanqiao and tossed her northward.
“This time, remember to run faster!” he called.
In the next instant, Xu Nanqiao had been flung a thousand li away, disappearing from sight. Standing alone, she realized Ye Yu wasn’t sacrificing her but securing her a path to survival.
Meanwhile, Tang Tianjia shaped his hand into a sword stance, expecting to slice Ye Yu in two—but he only managed to inflict a thin cut on Ye Yu’s shoulder. What kind of being was this early-stage Demon Lord, with such a formidable physique?
Ye Yu glanced at the wound, frowned, and tore off his beggar’s robe. Instantly, purple demonic runes spread from his arm across his body, and the shoulder wound healed within two breaths, as if it had never existed.
“Why can’t you just let me leave the Heavenly Realm in peace? Then we’d both be better off,” he muttered.

With that resolve, Ye Yu stepped forward and drew the Hellfire World-Scorching Halberd. A roaring inferno erupted, enveloping ten thousand li in blazing red.
