278: Forced ascension? The madwoman is about to be taken away by a mysterious green light!

The next day, early morning.

The first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds, falling upon the devastated Nine Nether Demon Mountain.

Inside a luxurious tent, Su Chen supported his lower back—which felt like it had been borrowed from someone else—and struggled to sit up from the warm jade bed.

Every bone and every inch of muscle in his body was letting out a scream of being overburdened.

He felt as if he hadn't slept at all, but had instead been repeatedly run over all night by a construction crew made up of a dozen Primordial Savage Bulls.

Paradoxically, while his body was exhausted to the extreme, his Divine Soul was unprecedentedly refreshed, even vaguely growing a size larger.

[Strange. Logically, after being squeezed dry by that enchantress all night, shouldn't I be mentally drained, seeing stars, and having entered Sage Mode ahead of schedule?]

[Why did my Divine Soul even get a buff?]

[Could it be... this is the legendary benefit of paid content? This user experience... I can only say it's a mixed bag!]

Su Chen rubbed his waist while looking down.

In the crook of his arm, Liu Ruyan was curled up, sleeping like a kitten that had eaten its fill, looking incredibly sweet.

The sunlight spilled onto her beautiful face, which seemed to glow with a rosy, radiant complexion. She looked like a Peerless Grade flower that had been watered with celestial dew, breathtakingly beautiful.

Looking at her thoroughly "nourished" appearance, most of the resentment Su Chen felt from being used as a steamroller path inexplicably dissipated.

[Forget it, considering her skills were so good... I won't give her a bad review.]

[But this waist... when I get back, I must have Spring Flower and Autumn Moon soak it in Spirit Medicine for three days and three nights!]

Su Chen carefully withdrew his arm, dressed stealthily, and slipped out of the tent.

He needed to breathe some fresh air of freedom.

He had only taken two steps when Liu Ruyan woke up.

She stretched lazily, her breathtaking curves tracing a perfect arc in the morning light.

Looking at Su Chen's back, her captivating peach blossom eyes could no longer hide the thick, inseparable love and attachment within them.

She quickly dressed and, like a clingy kitten that had found its master, hurried to catch up. She naturally took Su Chen's arm, pressing her startling softness tightly against him.

“Darling Su, why not sleep a bit longer?”

Her voice carried a hint of post-coital raspiness, so seductive it could practically drip water.

Su Chen's body instantly froze.

[Big sister! Watch the influence! It's broad daylight and a world of order!]

[Outside are all your Demon Sect employees, and your father is even peeping with a telescope in the distance!]

[We just had a friendly academic exchange regarding human anatomy and spiritual energy flow last night; don't act like we've already officially wed!]

Su Chen roared inwardly, but he couldn't bring himself to push her away.

There was no helping it; the tactile sensation was just too top-tier.

Her whole body was like boneless spring water, warm and fragrant jade that made one sink into indulgence.

The two of them strolled through the ruins in this sticky-sweet manner.

Passing Demon Sect Disciples all showed "we get it" lewd smiles and tactfully took the long way around.

In the distance, Liu Canghai was even more moved, tears of joy streaming down his face as he muttered incessantly, “It’s done! It’s done! The great revival of my Liu family Bloodline depends on this one shot!”

Amidst this "peaceful" scene...

From the direction of a remote pile of rocks in the distance, a scream full of terror, confusion, and disbelief suddenly exploded!

“Holy shit!!!”

“I played myself!!!”

“We agreed on a goddess descending to earth! Why the hell is this light green?!”

It was the voice of Illusion Thousand Faces, sounding as shrill as if he'd been cornered in a back alley by a hundred burly men.

Su Chen snapped his head up, his heart skipping a beat.

In the sky above the distant rock pile, the space that had already settled was being forced open by an invisible giant hand, tearing a hideous gash!

An incredibly massive, slowly rotating dark green vortex appeared out of thin air!

Unstable spatial electrical arcs flickered at the edge of the vortex, while the core was a deep, eerie green.

Su Chen's eyelids twitched violently.

[This green thing doesn't look like a proper passage at first glance! Did that guy accidentally puncture the Netherworld's septic tank?!]

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the green vortex suddenly accelerated!

Buzz—!

An indescribable, terrifying suction, like a super vacuum cleaner at full power, instantly enveloped the entire Nine Nether Demon Domain!

“What’s going on?!”

Liu Canghai and the others' expressions changed drastically.

But this suction was extremely bizarre; it didn't pull on the Physical Body, but instead scanned the Divine Soul of every living being like radar, as if precisely filtering for something.

Su Chen's heart sank.

It was looking for... special energy bodies!

Almost simultaneously, the suction found its first target!

Not far away, Ye Linghan was sitting cross-legged, refining the remnants of a Heavenly Demon's soul!

As the "Fallen Immortal of the Mortal World," her life essence had long since transcended this realm, containing the purest "otherworldly Law"!

To this "Forced Guidance Formation" from the Netherworld, she was the largest, brightest, and most delicious star in the dark night!

“Hmm?”

Ye Linghan, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

In those phoenix eyes burning with dark red demonic flames, a trace of genuine bewilderment appeared.

She discovered that her body was being deathly locked by a power of rules that surpassed the Law of this realm!

Then, under everyone's horrified gazes...

Her figure uncontrollably rose from the ground!

Like being hooked by an invisible fishing line, she drifted straight up toward the massive green vortex in the sky!

“Linghan!”

Su Chen's brain buzzed, instantly going blank!

[Holy crap?!]

[What's happening?! This vacuum cleaner is fucking targeted?!]

[Why is it going for the Crazy Woman?! My golden thigh is about to be fished away?!]

Without thinking, he subconsciously reached out, wanting to grab that black-dressed figure that was drifting further and further away from him.

However, just as he took a step, an even more soul-crushing scene occurred!
