However, even with Feng Xi’s current speed, which rivaled that of the Soul Transformation realm, it would still take time to cover this distance of three thousand li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Imperial Capital had already fallen into a purgatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pillar of demonic energy erupting from the depths of the Imperial Palace was like a support beam propping open hell, continuously pouring pure and evil Abyss demonic energy into this world. Ink-black demonic clouds centered on the pillar spread wildly, rapidly shrouding the entire sky above the Imperial Capital, blotting out the sun and turning day into eternal night. Only the blood-colored thunder rolling within the demonic clouds occasionally illuminated the city below, which was as chaotic and desperate as an anthill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wooo-aaah—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ear-piercing roars of demonic creatures erupted from all corners of the Imperial Capital. Wherever the demonic energy passed, cultivators with low cultivation bases and weak wills, as well as mortals, were instantly infected. Their eyes turned blood-red, they lost their sanity, and they transformed into demonic puppets that knew only slaughter and destruction, crazily attacking every living thing around them. Buildings burned and collapsed in demonic flames; the once-prosperous streets were filled with fleeing figures, mangled corpses, and bloodthirsty demonic shadows. Fresh blood gathered into streams, soaking the bluestone floor, and the thick stench of blood mixed with the foul odor of demonic energy, making one nauseous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial City became the area with the most intense resistance and the very core of the demonic disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brilliant dragon energy and layers of formations shrouding the Imperial City were already teetering under the continuous impact of the demonic energy pillar, the countless demonic puppets, and the even more powerful native demonic creatures crawling directly out of the pillar. The golden light dimmed, the formation’s light barrier was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and it was on the verge of collapse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the Imperial Palace, the Nourishing Heart Hall no longer existed; in its place remained only a massive, bottomless pit from which the pillar of demonic energy surged forth. On the edge of the pit, fragments of powerful sealing runes remained, clearly indicating that something had originally been sealed here, which had now been completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Lord, Huangfu Tianji, hovered in mid-air. His bright yellow dragon robe was stained with spots of blood, and his usually majestic face was now filled with exhaustion and monstrous rage. He held a golden dragon sword symbolizing imperial power, and the imperial dragon energy around his body burned like tangible golden flames. With every swing of his sword, large swaths of demonic creatures were vaporized by the sharp sword qi and dragon energy. His aura had clearly surpassed the early Soul Transformation stage and reached the level of the mid-Soul Transformation stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even as strong as he was, facing the endless, seemingly inexhaustible tide of demons, and the even more terrifying aura faintly emanating from the demonic energy pillar that made his heart tremble, he could only struggle to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Wei was bathed in blood, guarding Huangfu Tianji’s side. As he waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, strands of silver silk transformed into lethal blades, shredding the flying demonic creatures attempting to approach. Several old monsters from the Imperial Palace’s Offering Hall, all at the Soul Transformation stage, also occupied their own positions, unleashing heaven-shaking divine abilities to resist the impact of the demonic tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the number of demonic creatures was simply too great, and that demonic energy was highly corrosive to spiritual power, capable of continuously creating more demonic puppets. With the tide rising and their strength waning, the Imperial City’s defensive line was as precarious as a pile of eggs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\" A sword light cleaved through several demonic puppets. Under the escort of Lin Xuan, Huangfu Hao finally broke through the outer demonic tide and arrived at the Imperial Lord’s side. Seeing the tragic scene before him, his eyes nearly split from rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hao'er? You’ve returned? Young Friend Lin!\" Seeing Lin Xuan, a flash of surprise and an imperceptible complexity crossed Huangfu Tianji’s eyes. \"This place is dangerous, you two...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe... Huangfu Tianji, the destiny of your Imperial Dynasty is destined to be a sacrifice for my master today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse, twisted, and malicious voice emanated from the pillar of demonic energy. Immediately following, the pillar twisted, and three figures shrouded in thick demonic energy, radiating Soul Transformation stage fluctuations, slowly stepped out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader was burly, covered in pitch-black bone armor, with two horns on his head, and held a giant axe burning with black demonic flames. On the left, a figure flickered like a ghost, holding a poison blade that constantly dripped corrosive liquid. On the right was a woman in a tattered palace gown with a bewitching face but hollow eyes; her ten fingernails were black, long, and narrow, flashing with a deadly, eerie light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Soul Transformation demonic lords! And they were certainly not just early-stage Soul Transformation; their auras were solid and violent, far exceeding the ordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the defensive grand formation on the outskirts of the Imperial City, under the desperate, life-sacrificing impact of countless demonic puppets and the continuous erosion of demonic energy, finally let out a groan of unbearable strain and shattered with a boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill! Leave none alive!\" The bone-armored demonic lord gave a grim laugh. He swung his demonic axe, and a black axe-beam that tore through the heavens slashed directly at Huangfu Tianji!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two demonic lords also struck simultaneously. The poison blade transformed into ten thousand ghostly shadows, and the palace-gowned woman flicked her ten fingers, releasing countless shrieks of demonic sound that tore at the soul, attacking Eunuch Wei and one of the Imperial Soul Transformation offerings respectively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top combat power of the demonic disaster had finally unleashed its full force! The Imperial City’s defensive line was instantly on the verge of total collapse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect His Majesty!\" Eunuch Wei shrieked, fighting to the death alongside the Imperial Soul Transformation expert to block the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the heaven-splitting axe-beam of the demonic lord, a flash of determination crossed Huangfu Tianji’s eyes. He poured his imperial dragon energy into his dragon sword, preparing to unleash a forbidden divine ability that would consume his essence to resist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this critical, hair-trigger moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaos... Forbidden Domain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice, yet one that seemed to contain supreme majesty, rang out clearly over the chaotic battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the voice fell, with Lin Xuan as the center, the void within a thousand zhang suddenly changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rolling demonic energy seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, being forcibly pushed aside and suppressed! The rampaging demonic puppets’ movements suddenly stalled, as if they had fallen into thick, viscous mud! Even the attacks unleashed by the three Soul Transformation demonic lords, the moment they entered this area, slowed down visibly to the naked eye, their power weakened layer by layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray, chaotic domain, as if returning to the state of the world’s creation, firmly shrouded and protected the Imperial Lord Huangfu Tianji and the core area around him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying demonic axe-beam, the ten thousand poison blade shadows, and the soul-tearing demonic sounds collided with the outer perimeter of the Chaos Domain, erupting with earth-shattering roars, yet they ultimately failed to break through that seemingly thin chaotic barrier, which contained the intent of all laws returning to void!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three demonic lords changed color simultaneously, looking in disbelief toward the center of the domain at the young man who had appeared in mid-air at some point, his green robes fluttering slightly, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Lin Xuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment when the Imperial City’s defensive line was about to collapse completely and Huangfu Tianji faced a lethal strike, he had used, without hesitation, a powerful domain divine ability from the inheritance of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, which could only be unleashed in a secret realm or specific environment under his own control—the Chaos Forbidden Domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this domain, all laws return to void, and chaos reigns supreme! Although limited in range and duration due to his cultivation base, and consuming a massive amount of energy, the absolute defense and law suppression it displayed in an instant were enough to turn the tide of battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s him! That successor of Chaos!\" A fierce killing intent and a trace of dread erupted in the bone-armored demonic lord’s scarlet eyes. \"The Master has ordered that this brat has a higher priority than Huangfu Tianji! Kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three demonic lords reached a consensus instantly, abandoning other targets, their killing intent locked firmly onto Lin Xuan as even more violent attacks began to brew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Chaos Domain, the pressure on Huangfu Tianji and the others eased significantly. Looking at Lin Xuan’s back, they were filled with shock and gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Friend Lin, this great kindness...\" Huangfu Tianji said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imperial Lord, no need for words. The top priority is to resolve the source.\" Lin Xuan interrupted him, his gaze piercing through the Chaos Domain and landing on the pillar that was still spewing demonic energy. \"Beneath that pillar lies the key. It must be sealed, otherwise the demonic tide will be endless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that deep within the pillar, an extremely evil and powerful will was awakening; that was the true body of the Abyss demonic consciousness, or rather, one of its important avatars! These three Soul Transformation demonic lords were merely its lackeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall go with you!\" Huangfu Tianji did not hesitate. He knew that only by destroying the source could the Imperial Capital be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going too!\" Huangfu Hao stepped forward with his sword, his eyes firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan glanced at them and nodded. \"Good! Feng Xi, you stay here with Eunuch Wei and the others to stabilize the defensive line and clear out the demonic puppets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skree!\" Feng Xi let out a long cry in agreement, and the Azure Phoenix True Flame swept out, beginning to purge the demonic puppets that had charged into the domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining the Chaos Forbidden Domain, Lin Xuan, along with Huangfu Tianji and Huangfu Hao, transformed into three streaks of light, braving the frantic long-range attacks from the three Soul Transformation demonic lords, and charged fiercely toward the terrifying source of the demonic energy—the massive pit deep within the Imperial Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true decisive battle had begun at the heart of the Imperial Capital!\u003C\u002Fp>",1781,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e0fe03a4ef3825d5773b7e5913ca3f6c0a6cb71b05db9279597d3cedb6e2c6b3","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-114","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-112",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
