Chapter 749: Chapter 553: I used to belong to Nanyang, now Nanyang belongs to me_3

Wait... Shen Yi didn’t even have time to experience his newfound level when he suddenly looked up.

The Cultivation Technique had reached Perfection, yet the Demon Lifespan was still seeping away?

He quickly sank into his spiritual focus, began to check where the problem lay, and finally his gaze settled on Yu Lan in the realm of his mind... To be exact, it was the South Hall of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall where she was located.

Below this South Hall, unbeknownst to when, a bluestone palace had appeared, seemingly located deep within a body of water, featuring an enormous black abyss.

At this moment, with the influx of Demon Lifespan, the South Hall resembled a phantom, slowly enveloping the bluestone palace below it.

Something seemed to be lurking within the black abyss.

"What is happening here?"

Shen Yi instinctively wanted to stop the infusion of the Demon Lifespan into the Five Immortal Palm Technique, but he suddenly sensed a familiar aura from within that abyss.

It was similar to that of Ke Shisan, yet many times more potent, the scent of a Dragon Demon.

This made Shen Yi hesitate slightly.

Could it be that the Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s function is not limited to just the level of White Jade Capital?

Soon, Shen Yi watched in pain as his remaining Demon Lifespan depleted, with the South Hall coming very close to completely enveloping the bluestone palace.

Just then, beyond his own Nanyang Treasure Land... he sensed a piece of territory vast beyond measure.

After a quick survey, Shen Yi’s eyes twitched slightly.

Southern Hong! The entire expanse of Southern Hong!

"Phew."

Barely suppressing the shock in his heart, Shen Yi suddenly wanted to try, since it could be sensed, whether he could manipulate the aura of Southern Hong just as he did with Nanyang Treasure Land.

No sooner said than done.

Shen Yi slowly clenched his fist, and then felt an unimaginably vast and mighty force, even though he could only mobilize an insignificant part of it, it was still terrifying enough.

"Why can I only mobilize this little?"

Shen Yi slightly furrowed his brow, somewhat dissatisfied.

His gaze swept briefly over the South Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, yet beside Yu Lan’s hand, unbeknownst to when, a Seal Box appeared, empty and evidently missing a significant seal.

What was missing in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall was definitely related to the control panel.

Shen Yi did not see any new element to condense, guessing that he did not have enough Demon Lifespan.

"Well, this little amount is already quite impressive."

He shook his head, once again trying to manipulate the aura of Southern Hong, eager to know the limits.

Just then, Shen Yi’s mind echoed with a cry from Yu Lan: "Master! Don’t!"

Roar——

In an instant, an ancient and vast figure surged out from the abyss beneath the bluestone palace, its sharp Dragon Horn, rough claws, and a body covered in vegetation all exuding an air of ancient decay.

The South Hall, yet to fully envelope the bluestone palace, blurried a bit more.

It seemed very fearful of being discovered by others.

However, for some reason, even though the aura emanating from this dragon made Shen Yi, who had achieved Union Dao, feel wary, he sensed that what Yu Lan feared was not this Dragon Demon.

The next moment, Shen Yi instinctively looked upwards.

His pupils dilated.

Above the sky, unbeknownst to when, appeared a colossal rhinoceros stretching across the heavens and earth! Before this rhino, the enormous Dragon Demon seemed minuscule to an insignificant degree.

The massive body of the Jade Rhinoceros was translucent, resembling a beautifully carved piece of jade rather than a living creature or anything of the mortal world, emanating a rich fragrance that made Shen Yi’s heart quiver.

It opened one of its eyes, lazily sweeping it toward the south.

Under the gaze of that enormous eye.

Shen Yi suddenly felt an overpowering sense of helplessness.

It’s over—

Following that, black winds rose from the five halls of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, completely enveloping Shen Yi’s body.

Whether it was Ke Shisan searching for demons in Southern Hong or the several Hall Masters hidden in the sea of consciousness, their stone bodies cracked violently after unleashing the black wind.

Fortunately, the Jade Rhinoceros merely glanced over, then closed its eyes again and fell back into a deep sleep.

"..."

When the black wind had dissipated, Shen Yi was drenched in sweat.

He lowered his gaze to the front, remaining silent for a long time.

First, he checked the condition of the several Hall Masters... still manageable, though severely injured, none of the scars were beyond repair; just needed some nurturing.

What truly accelerated Shen Yi’s heartbeat was his sudden realization of what he was doing just before.

The Jade Rhinoceros wasn’t a Demonic Beast; it appeared to be a Magic Treasure used for garrisoning.

As for the owner of this Magic Treasure, the answer was quite clear.

The key point was in what the Magic Treasure guarded; its four legs straddling the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Hong, clearly stationed over the entire Hongze, and what he was doing just now... was stealing the Immortal’s powers.

"You took my Demon Lifespan, should I use someone else’s property to repay it?"

Shen Yi brought up the panel, nearly laughing in frustration.

If it weren’t for Yu Lan’s quick reaction just now, had he continued any longer, today he really could have returned his soul to heaven and earth, right after entering the He Dao Bao Di.

What a loss! Over eight hundred thousand years of Demon Lifespan gone, and it didn’t even make a splash.

With the Immortal not dead, who would dare stir the essence of Southern Hong?

It’s just tantalizing to look at.

However... Shen Yi slightly lifted his gaze, at least this opportunity had shown him how high the sky was, yet he was entirely unsure of the other party’s depths, and if he really could fill that missing great seal in the South Hall, perhaps there might be a turning point.

As for now.

Better forget about this matter, just consider it money lost.

He was originally going to study the Immortal Law, but now that was out of the question.

Shen Yi sighed, stood up, and slowly walked out of the Law Storage Pavilion.

He pushed open that thin wooden door.

For the first time, he saw this world that belonged to him.

The rich Spiritual Energy spreading between heaven and earth seemed to merge with his being.

With just a slight move of the Divine Sense.

He could immediately sense those beings he cared about.

Familiar faces and figures flashed across Shen Yi’s pupils as he watched people move along the mountain paths, through the mundane world, and between the streets and temples.

Feeling somewhat relaxed but simultaneously experiencing a complex pressure, both emotions converged at once.

From this day forth, he was the heavens of Nanyang.
