Green leaves block the way, demonic power is overwhelming.

The verdant green leaf appeared without any warning, its speed surpassing thought. The vitality and binding power it contained were even more bizarre, as if it could fix space and entangle the Divine Soul!

Nightmare's gaze narrowed, a slight shock in his heart. The strength of the person who attacked, and their control over power, far exceeded everyone present!

But how could he retreat because of this?

He suddenly flicked his wrist, changing from plucking to flicking! The wisp of grayish-white Power of Annihilation at his fingertip instantly condensed, accurately flicking towards the verdant green leaf!

Chilala!

Extreme vitality and extreme deathly stillness collided violently!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a fierce annihilation at the Law level! The verdant green leaf withered and turned yellow at a visible speed, finally turning into flying ash! And the Power of Annihilation at Nightmare's fingertip was also completely consumed.

An even match!

Nightmare withdrew his hand and took half a step back, looking coldly in the direction from which the leaf had flown.

In that Void Realm, ripples appeared again, and a woman's figure slowly emerged.

The woman wore a light azure palace dress, her figure tall and graceful. Her face was shrouded in a hazy azure glow, making it unclear, but a pair of clear and translucent eyes, yet imbued with natural majesty, clearly appeared in everyone's sight. There was no powerful Demonic Qi or spiritual power leaking from her body, yet she gave off a harmonious feeling that she was nature and nature was her, as if subtly resonating with the ancient aura of the entire Starfall Secret Realm.

"Yao Race? Who are you?" Nightmare asked coldly. From this woman, he felt a hint of threat; her strength was probably not beneath his, and her Cultivation Technique was extremely special.

The Azure Luan palace-dressed woman did not answer Nightmare's question. Instead, her gaze swept across the sea of heavenly mandate flowers, especially lingering for a moment on the largest heavenly fate flower king, whose stamen was like a swirling galaxy, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Your Excellency has good methods, to be able to sneak in here by evading the Secret Realm's rules." The woman's voice was clear and ethereal, "However, this flower is of utmost importance to my Yao Race. Please do me a favor and retreat. I, Azure Glass, can represent the Azure Luan Peak of the Southern Wilds and owe Your Excellency a favor."

Azure Luan Peak? Azure Glass?

Nightmare instantly understood. So it was her! The most mysterious Saintess under the Azure Luan Demon King of the Southern Wilds? It was said that she possessed a trace of pure Azure Luan Bloodline, with extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength, always in secluded cultivation and rarely appearing in the world. He didn't expect her to also come to the Starfall Secret Realm, and her target was also the heavenly mandate flower!

It seems this flower is indeed extraordinary, attracting such figures.

"A favor from Azure Luan Peak?" Nightmare sneered, his tone filled with undisguised mockery, "Is it very valuable? If the Azure Luan Demon King personally arrived, perhaps This Sovereign would consider it for a moment. Just you? You're not qualified enough to make me back down."

"You!" A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the woman named Azure Glass; she had clearly never been so despised before. "Since that's the case, let's see who's stronger!"

She lightly raised her jade hand, her five fingers like plucking a flower. Azure light flowed around her, and countless verdant, dripping, and extremely sharp-edged leaves appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating around her, emitting a terrifying aura that seemed to tear space apart!

"Myriad Leaf Flying Flowers, go!"

She flicked her finger, and those countless green leaves, like an army receiving orders, transformed into a destructive green torrent, tearing through space, sweeping towards Nightmare with endless vitality and killing intent! Each leaf was comparable to the full-strength strike of an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!

"Insignificant trick!"

Nightmare snorted coldly, not dodging or evading, simply raised his hand and pressed forward.

Myriad Poison Demonic Palm!

A black demonic palm covering the sky appeared out of thin air. Within its palm, countless phantom poisonous insects seemed to wail, and Myriad Poison Demonic Essence surged and roared, carrying terrifying power that corroded all things and devoured vitality, fiercely striking towards the green torrent!

Rumble—!

The demonic palm and the sea of leaves collided violently!

Green and black energies intertwined, annihilated, and exploded wildly! A terrifying energy storm instantly swept out, completely pulverizing the surrounding remaining rocks! Those Cultivators who were still observing, or even trying to take advantage, were scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, scrambling to flee backward in a panic, fearing being caught in this terrifying Late Nascent Soul Stage duel!

In the center of the energy storm, Nightmare stood unmoving, his robes flapping. And Fairy Qing Li, with azure light flowing around her body, completely deflected the shockwave, also unharmed.

The first confrontation, once again an even match!

Their gazes collided across the air, both seeing solemnity in the other's eyes.

"Your Excellency indeed has some ability, no wonder you are so arrogant." Fairy Qing Li's tone grew colder, and her hands began to form more complex and profound seals. Her aura subtly resonated with the entire Secret Realm, seemingly about to unleash her true killing move!

A fierce glint also flashed in Nightmare's eyes, and the power of rule fragment silently circulated within his body. He didn't want to waste too much time on this woman.

Just as the second wave of battle was about to erupt!

The star core floating above the ancient hall, seemingly re-activated by the terrifying energy of their previous clash, which was ten times more intense, suddenly erupted with light ten times brighter than before!

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

Several of the largest star cores actually shattered completely! Countless extremely condensed Star Destruction Light Pillars, as thick as buckets, swept down indiscriminately like heavenly punishment, without any pattern!

At the same time, the entire ancient hall ruins began to shake violently and collapse! Huge fissures opened in the ground, spewing out scorching earth fire and chaotic star Evil Qi!

"Not good! The ancient hall is about to completely collapse!"

"The core exploded! Run!"

This time, even Fairy Qing Li and Nightmare's expressions changed slightly! The power of the Star Destruction Light Pillars was already enough to threaten them! Coupled with the eruption of earth fire and spatial tremors, this place had truly become a dead end!

"Opportunity!"

Nightmare reacted extremely quickly! He completely ignored the sweeping light pillars and erupting earth fire, instead taking advantage of the moment Fairy Qing Li was slightly distracted by this sudden change!

The power of rule fragment suddenly boosted him, and his speed erupted to the extreme!

Like a ghost, he passed through the gaps of several destruction light pillars, ignored the sweeping earth fire, and instantly appeared before the largest heavenly fate flower king!

"How dare you!" Fairy Qing Li was both shocked and enraged, wanting to stop him, but a huge destruction light pillar forced her to dodge backward!

Nightmare did not hesitate, pointing his fingers like a knife. His fingertip, imbued with the power of Law, precisely severed the heavenly fate flower king's roots (invisible roots in the Void Realm), and at the same time, he took out a jade box he had prepared earlier, carefully placing it inside!

Success!

He did not stop, his figure retreating explosively again!

And the moment he took the flower king, the sea of heavenly mandate flowers seemed to lose its core. The other flowers withered rapidly at a visible speed and dissipated into the Void Realm!

As if their existence was merely to nourish this sole flower king!

"No!" Fairy Qing Li's delicate body trembled with rage at this sight, fire practically spewing from her eyes! She had expended so much effort, even making a deal with the Azure Luan Demon King to get the Secret Realm clues and entry method, all for this heavenly fate flower king, yet now someone else had snatched it first!

"Devil Head! Leave the flower king!" She desperately activated her magic power, and an Azure Luan phantom appeared behind her, rushing towards Nightmare with the might to tear the sky! At the same time, a green feather fan appeared in her hand, and she fiercely fanned it!

Woo—!

A terrifying green gale appeared out of thin air. Wherever it passed, even space was cut into countless fine cracks, sweeping towards Nightmare from another direction!

At the same time, the Sky Patrol Alliance Holy Son also gritted his teeth, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. He sacrificed an ancient star seal, spewing essence blood to activate it, transforming it into a huge star mountain, and in coordination with Fairy Qing Li, smashed it towards Nightmare from a third direction!

Even if he couldn't get it himself, he would absolutely not let this mysterious Devil Head easily take away the flower king!

Three-pronged attack! And all were powerful killing moves at the Nascent Soul level!

Coupled with the constantly sweeping star light pillars and erupting earth fire!

Nightmare was instantly forced into a desperate situation!

"Benefactor!" Mo Yuan in the distance watched with bloodshot eyes, wanting to rush over to help, but was forced back by the terrifying energy aftermath, unable to approach!

Facing this sure-kill situation, a hint of cold mockery flashed in Nightmare's eyes.

"You think you can keep me?"

With a thought, the Wind-Devouring Demonic Vine, which had been lurking nearby, suddenly shot out from underground. Its vines grew wildly, instantly forming a huge black barrier, forcefully blocking the sweeping green gale!

At the same time, the myriad soul soul-devouring banner appeared above his head. As it swayed, myriad souls wailed, forming a soul wall to meet the descending star mountain!

And he himself, disregarding everything, directly punched towards the pouncing Azure Luan phantom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three earth-shattering roars erupted almost simultaneously!

The barrier formed by the Wind-Devouring Demonic Vine was largely torn apart by the green gale, shrinking back with dim spiritual light. The soul wall of the myriad soul banner was also violently shaken by the star mountain, wailing incessantly. And Nightmare's punch perished together with the Azure Luan phantom, erupting a terrifying energy storm!

Nightmare, using the recoil force of the explosion and the subtle influence of rule fragment on space, shot out of the three's encirclement like a meteor at an incredible angle, instantly escaping the core area of the ancient hall!

"Where do you think you're going!" Fairy Qing Li would not give up, transforming into a green light and chasing relentlessly! The Heavenly Patrol Alliance Holy Son also swallowed a Medicinal Pill, gritted his teeth, and followed!

Nightmare didn't look back, throwing several Yin Fiend Thunder Orbs obtained from the Sky Patrol Alliance's storeroom behind him!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder orbs exploded, and yin fiend qi permeated. Although it couldn't harm the two, it successfully obstructed their vision and Divine Sense.

When Fairy Qing Li and the Heavenly Patrol Alliance Holy Son rushed through the yin fiend mist, Nightmare's trace was long gone! Not even a hint of his aura could be sensed!

"Ah! Damn it!" Fairy Qing Li's face turned pale with anger, and she shattered a huge star corpse next to her with a palm strike!

The Heavenly Patrol Alliance Holy Son also had an ashen face, suddenly coughing, which aggravated his chest injury. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and resentment.

They never expected that even with the combined strength of the two of them, plus the assistance of the Secret Realm environment, that Devil Head still managed to retreat leisurely with the heavenly fate flower king!

Who exactly is this person?! His strength is so terrifying, and his methods so bizarre!

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate for me! Even if you have to search the entire Secret Realm, find that Devil Head for me!" Fairy Qing Li sternly ordered her Yao Race subordinates who had arrived, her voice filled with cold killing intent.

"Yes! Saintess!"

On the other side, Nightmare had long since fled a thousand li away, finding a relatively safe star corpse crack (fissure), and set up a concealment Formation.

He took out the jade box, looking at the heavenly fate flower king within, which glowed with starlight and vibrated with destiny. A satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.

Although the process had some twists and turns, the goal was finally achieved.

The last main ingredient for the Secret Curse of Stealing Fate and Exchanging Heaven was finally complete!

Next, he only needed to find a safe place to truly activate the Secret Curse, complete the final step, and completely connect his own destiny with the heavenly mandate of this world, with no more obstacles!

And by then, what Azure Luan Saintess, what Heavenly Patrol Alliance Holy Son, would all be insignificant!

He put away the jade box, his gaze looking towards the deeper parts of the Secret Realm.

It is said that the "exotic treasure" that caused the Secret Realm to open early has not yet appeared.

Since he came, how could he return empty-handed?
