Luo Ning Shuang said nothing, but she took Mo Qian's Ink Night Sword and walked towards the three bone demons.
Becoming a demon weapon was not what her family had wished for. Rather than letting them sink into a life of slaughter as demon weapons, it was better to end their lives sooner and grant them release.
Luo Ning Shuang cast a final glance at the three bone demons, her eyes red, and whispered, "Forgive me..."
Then, she severed the heads of the three bone demons with a single stroke.
These three bone demons, who had annihilated the Five Kingdoms of the Eastern Ridge and the Mo Yuan Empire, finally met their end at this moment.
Luo Ning Shuang, having personally killed her parents and sister, felt a pang of guilt. She silently returned the Ink Night Sword to Mo Qian.
Meanwhile, under Mu Qing Qing's chain control, the Four-Eyed Ghost and the Asura Ghost were still immobilized.
Upon seeing the three bone demons killed, these two nether gods showed fear in their eyes.
In their view, after these three humans dealt with the bone demons, they would be the next target.
They had to find a way to save themselves as quickly as possible.
However, what happened next exceeded their expectations.
The space within the Demon Origin Realm began to violently vibrate, and black rifts appeared everywhere. The small world seemed on the verge of collapse.
Mu Qing Qing and the other two were astonished by this sudden change.
"What's going on? Did you do something behind our backs!"
Mu Qing Qing tightened her grip on the chains binding the two nether gods and questioned them intently.
Yet, the Four-Eyed Ghost and the Asura Ghost, despite their bones nearly being crushed by the chains, displayed an expression of ignorance.
"Stop! This really has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, we've been bound by your chains the entire time, how could we have done anything else?"
"Besides, this is Lord Yuan Qing's small world. With our strength as One-star Saint Emperors, we have no control over it."
The two nether gods pleaded for mercy, claiming their innocence.
Listening to them, it was indeed logical.
Mu Qing Qing soon realized that this might be the work of the demon Yuan Qing.
After all, this was the small world he had created, and Yuan Qing should be aware of any developments within it.
Seeing the small world about to collapse, it was likely that Yuan Qing had sensed the human invasion of his world and intended to destroy this stronghold.
There was no time to think. If they didn't leave soon, they would all be trapped in this space.
Mu Qing Qing no longer suppressed her strength. The terrifying true essence of a peak Saint Emperor was fully unleashed.
Both Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang were shocked by the full burst of Mu Qing Qing's power.
Luo Ning Shuang, in particular, was surprised that her junior sister had reached the realm of a peak Saint Emperor.
Mu Qing Qing offered no lengthy explanations. She directly used her true essence to forcibly open a spatial tunnel and said to Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang, "You go first!"
The two nodded and entered the spatial tunnel without hesitation.
Knowing that Mu Qing Qing was a peak Saint Emperor, they understood that their remaining in the Demon Origin Realm would only be a burden to her.
Moreover, this Demon Origin Realm could not trap Mu Qing Qing.
After sending Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang out of this small world, Mu Qing Qing glanced at the tens of thousands of cultivators from the Five Kingdoms of the Eastern Ridge who had been hanging upside down in the air by chains earlier.
Each of them had been injected with demonic souls and were currently in a comatose state. They were only one step away from being refined in the demon furnace to become complete demon weapons.
If successful, tens of thousands of demon weapons… the thought sent chills down one's spine. Just four bone demons had wiped out the Five Kingdoms of the Eastern Ridge and the Mo Yuan Empire. If tens of thousands of demon weapons were born, the disaster for humanity would be immense.
However, thankfully, they had not yet become true demon weapons. With her abilities, she might still be able to restore them.
But now was not the time. They had to be transferred out of Yuan Qing's demon world first.
Mu Qing Qing instantly appeared above the demon furnace. As her true essence touched these cultivators, she was suddenly repelled by a mysterious and powerful force.
What was going on?!
Mu Qing Qing then discovered that the deep blue chains suspending these cultivators were a Saint Artifact, and a legendary one at that.
Saint Artifacts were divided into three tiers: Supreme Treasure, Legendary, and Saint Dao.
Mu Qing Qing's Xuan Yang Palace was only a Supreme Treasure-grade Saint Artifact. This Saint Dao-grade Saint Artifact was something even Great Emperor-level cultivators might not possess.
No wonder it could repel her probing true essence.
However, Mu Qing Qing was not troubled; instead, she became more excited.
Wasn't this equivalent to finding an epic-grade piece of equipment in a game?
Conveniently, this Saint Artifact had not yet been claimed by a master. Mu Qing Qing's Star Wheel pupils twinkled with starlight. With the help of the Myriad Manifestations Star Wheel Scripture, she used her soul power to leave a soul imprint on this Saint Dao-grade Saint Artifact, initiating the master-recognition process.
The Myriad Manifestations Star Wheel Scripture truly lived up to its reputation as a divine-level cultivation technique provided by the system. The process of Saint Artifact recognition took less than two seconds, and she successfully mastered the chain.
Soul Suppression Chain!
This was the name Mu Qing Qing learned after the Saint Artifact recognized her as its master.
But Mu Qing Qing had no time to dwell on it. She immediately used her true essence to form a sky-obscuring giant hand, grasping all tens of thousands of cultivators and unceremoniously tossing them into the spatial tunnel, sending them out of the Demon Origin Realm.
Mu Qing Qing herself then broke through space and escaped from the collapsing small world.
Outside
Shi Lin Valley trembled violently, with countless stone pillars and peaks shattering, and the ground cracking.
The collapse of Yuan Qing's Demon Origin Realm had caused such devastating destruction to the entire Shi Lin Valley.
On a cliff some distance away from Shi Lin Valley, Mu Qing Qing and the others were gathered.
Looking at the collapsing Shi Lin Valley, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Qing Qing glanced again at the tens of thousands of unconscious cultivators at the foot of the mountain. The demonic souls within them had been extracted by her and absorbed.
They had now recovered from being half-demon weapons and returned to normal.
However, it was a pity that despite absorbing tens of thousands of demonic souls, her soul power had still not broken through to the Eight-star Soul Realm.
The Great Emperor realm was indeed not easily broken through.
Turning back, Mu Qing Qing was surprised to find that in addition to Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang, the two nether gods from the Demon Origin Realm, the Four-Eyed Ghost and the Asura Ghost, were also on the cliff.
These two had also escaped and were now confronting Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang.
The hostility on both sides had not diminished in the slightest.
Upon seeing Mu Qing Qing emerge from the Demon Origin Realm, the two nether gods were instantly terrified.
In front of Mo Qian and Luo Ning Shuang, they might have dared to be brazen, but with the appearance of Mu Qing Qing, a peak Saint Emperor, they could only grovel and beg for mercy.
As they saw themselves on the verge of being killed by these three humans, their faces contorted in despair. Suddenly, the Four-Eyed Ghost noticed the deep blue chain in Mu Qing Qing's hand. His face turned deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost. Trembling all over, he pointed at the chain and said to the Asura Ghost beside him, "It's over, it's all over!"
