"Yang Tian, I want to tear you to pieces!"

A cold shout echoed from afar.

Yang Tian recognized it as the witch's voice.

His eyes were filled with excitement.

Perhaps the witch woke up and discovered the video inside the Record Divine Talisman?

Boom!

A thunderous explosion resounded.

Just above in mid-air, the Nuwa Divine Statue violently exploded.

This Nuwa Divine Statue was conjured by the witch, representing her supreme martial power and authority.

But at this moment, the witch was stimulated and her Demon Heart was in chaos.

This gigantic Nuwa Divine Statue shattered without being attacked.

"The Nuwa Divine Statue is broken..."

Came the panicked shouts of Wang Jie and his companions from the mountaintop.

They didn't know why the Nuwa Divine Statue shattered at this moment, but one thing was certain: once it was destroyed, the Demon Pearl could not be refined.

And indeed, that was the case.

In mid-air, the Demon Pearl was still condensing beams of blood-red light.

But now, the Demon Pearl turned lifeless.

"It's done!"

Yang Tian laughed.

Didn't this witch keep saying she wanted to seize my child?

Fine, I'll now drive your Demon Heart into chaos; let's see how you continue to refine the Demon Pearl!

Moreover, with a chaotic Demon Heart, the witch might very well fall into madness.

For any martial artist, the most important aspects are the Martial Heart, Dao Heart, and Demon Heart.

Heart represents faith and willpower.

If attacked and destroyed, it will be devastating.

"All done."

A crisp voice rang out.

Xue had already exited the Spiritual Space and was hovering beside Yang Tian.

"Xue, thank you so much!"

Yang Tian embraced Xue, eagerly kissing her cheeks and lips.

"Hehe..."

Xue rarely smiled, but it was a beautiful smile.

For a moment, Yang Tian remembered the witch's smile.

Yet he knew the person before him wasn't the cold and ruthless witch; rather, it was just a Residual Soul of the witch, but this Residual Soul had genuine feelings for Yang Tian.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a roaring sound erupted.

A meteor-like light shot from afar towards this place, arriving at the mountaintop in just an instant.

"It's the witch!"

Yang Tian utilized his Divine Sense, probing towards the mountain peak.

He sensed the witch floating in mid-air, her clothes restored to their original state, yet her peerless face was filled with icy murderous intent.

In her hand, she tightly clutched a Divine Talisman.

It was Yang Tian's Record Divine Talisman.

It recorded the rough process of Yang Tian and Xue's romantic actions, a process that could pierce the witch's Demon Heart like a needle.

"Yang Tian, come out here!"

The witch coldly demanded.

This voice was projected with the Nuwa Divine Technique, reaching all living beings within hundreds of kilometers.

The demon beasts of the Ninth Layer Continent were in an uproar.

They felt the realm's master was about to begin slaughtering.

"Hmph!"

Yang Tian snorted coldly.

He detected a tremor in the witch's voice, and through his Divine Sense, sensed her eyes had turned blood-red.

Was this the rhythm of the witch breaking down?

"Yang Tian, I know you're nearby, show yourself immediately!"

The witch repeated word by word.

Yang Tian snorted coldly again but still let Xue return to the Spiritual Space; he planned to leave, yet at this moment, a loud noise came from behind, and the witch's figure suddenly appeared before Yang Tian.

"Witch..."

Yang Tian froze.

He couldn't imagine the witch would find him in an instant.

If it weren't for the woman before him with eyes full of blood-red murderous intent and anger, Yang Tian might have thought it was Xue coming out of the Spiritual Space again.

"Yang Tian, you have a lot of nerve!"

The witch said coldly.

Yang Tian sensed danger, he wanted to leave quickly, but before he could react, he suddenly blacked out.

Before passing out, a thought surged in his mind: this witch is more terrifying than imagined!

He didn't know how long it had been when Yang Tian finally regained consciousness.

The first sensation was a searing pain swelling from his body.

He opened his eyes and looked around.

He saw an array reminiscent of the Eight Trigrams and found himself tied to a blood-red pillar at its center.

He tried to struggle, but the red pillar sent a wave of pain.

Surroundings were deathly silent.

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe his surroundings, discovering the witch wasn't here, and he had no idea where he was; everything was eerily silent with only the array below emitting ominous blood-red light.

"Awake..."

Suddenly, a voice filled with killing intent came from up front.

Yang Tian shuddered, looking intently.

In the deathly silence, he saw that familiar face.

It was none other than the witch.

"Witch, what now?"

Yang Tian asked gravely.

"Naturally, I will use your blood to cleanse the humiliation upon me!"

The witch replied coldly.

Suddenly, she lifted her palm, and five streams of blood-red flames glimmered above her jade-like fingers.

Next, Yang Tian sensed numerous crimson Demon Needles shooting from the blood-red pillar he was bound to.

These Demon Needles pierced into Yang Tian, frantically sucking blood.

"Witch, you're indeed ruthless!"

Yang Tian realized the trouble he was in.

This witch's ruthlessness surpassed his imagination.

"Ruthless?" A cold smile suddenly graced the witch's lips: "Yang Tian, you know what you've done, your actions are an attempt to break my Demon Heart, but let me tell you, my Demon Heart isn't yours to break. Once I tear you limb from limb, my Demon Heart will only become more solid!"

Yang Tian's face darkened.

He had forgotten this point.

Even though the witch, after watching the Record Divine Talisman, felt violated by Yang Tian, if she used his blood to cleanse her humiliation, wouldn't her Demon Heart become even more resolute?

"Yang Tian, very soon it will be your end..."

The witch stated coldly.

She lightly waved her hand.

A passage suddenly opened in the darkness, Wang Jie and his companions' souls dropped out, falling upon the Eight Trigrams Array.

"Spare us, Lady Witch..."

Wang Jie and his companions, fallen to the ground, begged continuously.

But the witch simply coldly glanced at Yang Tian, her lips curled into a cold smile, then she lightly waved her hand.

The souls of Wang Jie and his companions were crushed alive.

"Lady Witch..."

Wang Jie and his companions cried in horror, but the witch took their souls, refining them into an attack that heavily struck Yang Tian.

Boom!

A thundering noise resounded, and high above came the witch's icy laughter: "Yang Tian, I'll wash away my humiliation with your blood!"

At this moment, a steely resolve flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

He had to escape from here!

Yet clearly, relying solely on his own strength, escape was impossible; the only chance was the Demonic Technique within!

But if he used the Demonic Technique in front of the witch, she might discover it.

If the witch found out Yang Tian was also practicing a Demonic Technique, she might suspect Xue, since the Demonic Technique Yang Tian practiced bore Xue's aura. Naturally, that aura belonged to the witch; showcasing it in front of the witch was extremely likely to get noticed.

However, at this juncture, Yang Tian had no choice.

If he didn't use the Demonic Technique, he would have no means of escape.

For the sake of survival, the Demonic Technique must be used!

With that, Yang Tian activated the Demonic Technique within him, and instantly, his body ignited fiercely.

Right away, the blood needles shooting up were all charred and shattered.

Rumble!

After a tremendous crash, the entire Eight Trigrams Array came apart.

Amid the echoes, the witch's icy voice rang out from above: "Yang Tian, is this the Demonic Technique? How are you able to cast Demonic Techniques? Could it be that you've practiced them too? Impossible, even if you had, you couldn't succeed. So what is this? How could it break my Blood Array?"
