This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 820 - 653: The Truth

Liang Yi looked at the black mist churning endlessly in front of him like dark clouds, feeling as bewildered as watching Lu Xun curse Zhou Shuren.
After the Cliff Sword Intent manifested within his Sea of Consciousness, it took the form of pure black Yuan Zhou, and now that Sword Intent had shattered into this black mist.
Liang Yi reached the domain of One Domain One World, born from all his amassed knowledge, which naturally included Cliff Sword Intent. That's why the Disruption Domain has a similar mystique to Cliff Sword Intent, capable of suppressing all that belongs to the Abyss.
Normally, the two are merely different manifestations of the same thing, one as Sword Intent and the other as Domain. So why are they fighting now?
Liang Yi clearly felt an extremely terrifying force within the black mist resisting his Domain.
However, this resisting force was not directed against his Domain, but rather against the suppression from Cliff Sword Intent within his Domain.
"But... is this black mist truly the Cliff Sword Intent?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Liang Yi's eyes.
As Cliff Sword Intent shattered into the black mist before his eyes, Liang Yi subconsciously regarded this black mist as the Sword Intent.
Yet upon closer inspection, he found that he couldn't sense a trace of Sword Intent from the mist; instead, it was something purer.
Liang Yi had a premonition within; the truth he sought might rest within this mysterious black mist, and perhaps the Heavenly Mechanism from Abyss Will mentioned by Senior Wan was due to this thing.
His thoughts spun in his mind, Liang Yi paused, allowing the invisible power of Domain to scatter from his palm. After brief hesitation, Liang Yi exhaled and directly reached into the black mist before him.
If he couldn't investigate, he might as well experience it firsthand!
Liang Yi watched as his palm slowly submerged into the mist, encountering no obstruction. Curiously, while the mist was only half as wide as his palm, as Liang Yi's hand penetrated deeper, the palm disappeared entirely without emerging from the other side.
Focused on the black mist, Liang Yi didn't notice that as his hand began touching the mist, his previously clear and clean Sea of Consciousness inexplicably gained a touch of darkness.
And as his palm vanished further, the darkness in the Sea of Consciousness deepened until it transformed into the purest black.
"Hmm!?"
Liang Yi's heart stirred slightly, and the Sword Cultivator's intuition finally sensed something amiss. Before he could retract his hand, he felt the ground disappear beneath him, a strong sense of weightlessness overwhelming him.
Despite being in full control of his Sea of Consciousness, it became utterly unresponsive, his entire cultivation completely locked, and even Domain couldn't be established, leaving him helpless to watch as darkness gradually consumed his consciousness.
Liang Yi felt as if he was lying on the ocean floor or falling off a cliff, the gentle and silent darkness shrouding his eyes and ears.
Lacking a sense of time, after what seemed like eternity, Liang Yi finally opened his eyes from the dead silence, encountering another pair of eyes that appeared unbeknownst to him.
Their gazes collided, with unseen sparks flying.
The giant black eyes appeared openly before Liang Yi, seemingly eager for him to understand its connection to the surrounding darkness and anomaly.
Their ancient, tranquil gaze resembled a pool of stagnant water, looking down at Liang Yi from above.
"So that's how it is..."
Observing these eyes, and recalling the boundless darkness that enveloped him, Liang Yi suddenly realized, muttering to himself with relief.
Standing in the darkness, Liang Yi raised his gaze towards the eyes that made him appear as insignificant as an ant.
Despite feeling as though he had entered his Disruption Domain, where all cultivation vanished, all powers suppressed, he remained calm, understanding the situation better.
"Blocking my five senses, severing my connection with the Sea of Consciousness, dragging my Divine Soul here. Yet, in this rare opportunity, you missed one thing."
Liang Yi suddenly broke into a smile, placed a hand on his chest, and calmly spoke.
"Although my Domain looks like any other cultivator's, needing a law as the core, coincidentally, the core of my Domain... lies within my Divine Soul."
With a firm grip, Liang Yi's right hand plunged into his own body, halting as if grasping something, confidently smiling.
Under the gaze of the giant eyes, Liang Yi slowly withdrew a black longsword, identical to Yuan Zhou, from within his body.
After extracting the longsword formed by Disruption Domain from his body, Liang Yi finally discerned the situation around him in the darkness.
Previously believing the darkness was merely the sole color of a black space, he now realized the darkness seemed alive, desperately surging toward him from all directions.
Though unaware of the consequences of the darkness touching him, his Sword Cultivator's intuition suggested it wasn't anything good.
His eyes shifted slightly, Liang Yi noticed that a peculiar Domain seemed to surround him in a three-zhang radius.
The surrounding darkness struggled to push its way towards him, but upon entering within three zhang of Liang Yi, it melted away like snowflakes under a warm sun.
