This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 782 - 636: Bonds

"I was wondering why the Corrosion Darkness Law of Tian Anyu suddenly disappeared. It turns out you've already taken care of him!"
Just escaping from the bizarre space where the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core was located, Elder Ju ran alongside Liang Yi, turning his head to speak.
Facing the black wall formed by Tian Anyu's Corrosion Darkness Law, it was nearly impossible for Elder Ju, who was only in the Eighth Realm, to break through. Although his Devouring Law was still usable, it would take quite some time to smash a hole through the law.
Elder Ju had exerted great effort to barely shake the black wall but breaking it quickly was simply not possible. Just as Elder Ju was pondering whether to utilize some of the remaining Heavenly Dao Origin to break the Corrosion Darkness Law, the black wall suddenly collapsed and disappeared.
Although this sudden change momentarily dumbfounded Elder Ju, he still clung to the thought of "no matter if it's a trick or not, smash the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core first" and chose to act immediately.
"Tian Anyu left part of his laws outside to block you, and was caught off guard by me drawing him into the Disruption Domain; his Corrosion Darkness Domain was then fully suppressed by me."
Liang Yi looked ahead and explained. The place they came out was different from the entrance, but it wasn't too far from it. As soon as they exited, they saw the mountain pillars that were previously enveloped by Abyss Demon Qi.
"A single misstep by Tian Anyu led to a cascade of errors. If he hadn't been overly confident and negligent, it's uncertain who could have survived."
Tian Anyu himself possessed absolutely top-notch strength. After being suppressed to less than sixty percent of his capability, a single punch from him could still critically injure Liang Yi, almost pushing Liang Yi to his limits.
If Tian Anyu's strength had been just a bit more powerful, that punch could have killed Liang Yi on the spot.
Moreover, Tian Anyu's domain concealed numerous vicious beasts corrupted by the Corrosion Darkness Law, each starting from the mid-stage of the Ninth Realm and all being ancient extinct beasts, ferocious beyond measure.
Even in a suppressed state, Liang Yi had a hard time dealing with these beasts, almost allowing Tian Anyu to escape.
Had they been in the outside world where Tian Anyu could exert his full power, Liang Yi admitted he would not likely be a match for a fully powered Tian Anyu.
However, Liang Yi didn't feel ashamed of his victory, as he had made countless preparations for such situations.
Had he not traveled to Ling Cave Snow Mountain with Elder Ju, he wouldn't have obtained the Heavenly Dao Origin to advance to the Ninth Realm, nor could he have learned all the inheritances of the Taoist Sect, helping him progress into the One Domain One World Realm with his unprecedented accumulation.
Without the domain suppression, facing a Cultivator at Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm, Liang Yi feared victory would be exceedingly difficult.
And without perfecting his own domain, Liang Yi couldn't comprehend the Sword Intent left by Gu Chengan there, thus couldn't coordinate with his master's Karma Sword Intent to directly reverse the situation.
Moreover, the Disruption Domain was essentially Liang Yi's trump card; when he chose his domain initially, Liang Yi was prepared for challenges across realms.
So, Tian Anyu's death at Liang Yi's hands was indeed not unjust!
"But after the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core was destroyed, the Abyss Demon Qi between heaven and earth really began to dissipate, and even the Spiritual Energy started to gradually scatter."
Liang Yi had sensed this change in the outside world as soon as he came out from that bizarre space.
The fluctuations might not be clear within the space of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core due to the constant presence of massive amounts of Abyss Demon Qi and Spiritual Power, but the changes in Abyss Demon Qi in the outside world were extremely obvious, decaying at a shocking rate every second.
"Previously, the Abyss Continent had the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core acting as both the core and regulating node of the entire continent, maintaining a relatively even level of Abyss Demon Qi."
Elder Ju naturally sensed this change too and naturally explained it to Liang Yi.
"Although there were places with dense and thin Spiritual Power before, there has never been a place devoid of Abyss Demon Qi. But now that the core, the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core, is destroyed, a hole appeared in the world, and the world's Abyss Demon Qi and Spiritual Power are leaking out through this hole."
"So, you're saying that in countless years, this world might even become a world where cultivation is impossible? An era of the end of the law?"
Liang Yi was shocked within, wasn't this directly annihilating all Cultivators?
"Yes! It's the era of the end of the law, countless times more severe than the situation where the Mystical Mechanism Continent's Immortal Path was severed!"
Elder Ju nodded, and although he could imagine the gloomy future of the Abyss Continent, there was not a hint of pity in his eyes.
Liang Yi then somewhat understood how the era of the end of the law in some worlds came to be—it might have been born without Spiritual Power, or perhaps the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core was destroyed through the endless ages.
"Stop thinking about it, this is war! It seems Su Youyi and the others have also finished."
Elder Ju waved his hand, regardless of how tragic the Abyss was, he didn't feel sorry—who asked this guy to think about how to devour it when he was still the Heavenly Dao.
"That's true..."
Liang Yi let go with a smile, suddenly thinking of Tian Anyu before his death.
If everything Tian Anyu did was for greater power, then everything he did was for the protection of his junior sister and everything he loved.
In a sense, he wasn't fundamentally different from Tian Anyu; both were people who wouldn't mind the means for a certain goal.
After realizing this, Liang Yi no longer brooded and looked up at the mountain peak close at hand, where the battle seemed to have also settled.
