On the platform of the Hall of Destiny, many cultivators were still lingering, either trading gains, exchanging information, or simply sitting in meditation. When the figure of Lin Xuan (Jin Shisan) appeared once again, it instantly drew numerous gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these gazes were astonishment, wariness, scrutiny, and greed, all mixed together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days ago, he had entered the Star-Gazing Tower of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion carrying the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew. Three days later, he walked out safely, his aura even more profound and unfathomable. What had happened during this time? Had the Creation Dew already been refined by him? And what kind of agreement had he reached with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sorts of questions swirled in everyone's minds, yet no one dared to step forward to question him. The deterrent power of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, combined with the strength and mystery \"Jin Shisan\" had previously displayed, made them hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan ignored the surrounding gazes, his expression calm. His \"Eye of Truth-Breaking\" swept slightly, taking in the expressions of everyone present. He saw the remnants of the Nether Sect hiding in the corners of the crowd, their eyes filled with venom but not daring to act; he saw the gaze of inquiry and battle intent cast by Ye Chen from a pavilion in the distance; and he also felt the undisguised, icy hostility coming from the direction of the Third Imperial Prince, Li Daoyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered inwardly, knowing these people would never give up easily. But now that his strength had greatly increased and he had more trump cards—plus the vague protection of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion—he had nothing to fear, provided he did not fall into a death trap surrounded by late-stage or peak Nascent Soul powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of staying on the platform for long. According to the secrets learned from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, the hidden danger of the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land was the true heart-worry. He had to go and investigate it again to confirm the state of the seal and see if he could find a way to further repair it or deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of his figure, he deployed \"Inch-by-Inch Earth-Shrinking,\" his speed more than several times faster than when he was in the Golden Core stage! Like a streak of distorted cyan smoke, he instantly swept across most of the platform, heading toward the cloud-mist passage that led to other areas of the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's leaving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What incredible speed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow him! See where he's going!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some quick-witted or ulterior-motivated cultivators immediately drove their escape lights, trailing far behind. Among them were many Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan sensed the \"tails\" behind him, a hint of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth. He did not try to shake them off with full force; instead, he deliberately controlled his speed, neither letting them lose him nor letting them get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the cloud-mist passage, he returned to the vast white jade square. There were still many cultivators here, and the news that \"Jin Shisan\" had obtained the Creation Dew and entered the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had long since spread. His reappearance caused another commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan did not stop at all, speeding directly toward the direction of the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action made the followers behind him and the cultivators on the square even more suspicious and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is he going to the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't a great battle just happen there, and wasn't the seal reinforced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could something else have gone wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd discussed it heatedly. Some cultivators who had not given up on the Creation Dew, or who were simply interested in \"Jin Shisan\" himself, could no longer hold back. They rose one after another, turning into streaks of light to follow. Among them were Ye Chen, the spies under the Third Imperial Prince Li Daoyi, and Elder Youliang of the Nether Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was driven by curiosity about a powerhouse and the unknown, as well as a faint, inexplicable sense related to his own \"Heavenly Destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince was more interested in figuring out the background and purpose of \"Jin Shisan\" in order to plan accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Nether Sect, hatred and fear were intertwined; they wanted to find an opportunity for revenge, yet they were worried about the secrets of the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land being further exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a strange scene appeared in the secret realm: a figure in cyan robes in the lead, traveling through the air at a steady pace, while behind him in the distance, dozens or hundreds of various escape lights trailed far behind, like a long tail streaking across the gray sky of the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was fully aware of the situation behind him and had already made his plans. He could use the eyes of these people to spread the word about the potential abnormalities in the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land, alerting more people and perhaps disrupting the plans of the Nether Sect and even the Abyss Demon Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, that familiar area piled with giant beast bones appeared before his eyes once again. The baleful aura permeating the air seemed even denser than before, carrying an unsettling restlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan did not reduce his speed, charging directly into the bone forest toward the entrance of the basin in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he passed through the bone forest and reached the original location of the basin entrance, the sight before him made his pupils shrink suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the valley, which had been left in disarray by the battle between him, Ye Chen, and the heroic spirits, was now shrouded in a layer of thick, churning, pitch-black demonic energy! Within the demonic energy, countless pained and twisted faces could be vaguely seen struggling and roaring, emitting a nauseating, filthy, and evil aura! A powerful restrictive force radiated from the demonic energy, preventing anyone from approaching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the basin had been completely sealed! And in an extremely evil and overbearing way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This demonic energy... it's of the same origin as that Abyss Demon Consciousness, but purer and more active!\" Lin Xuan's heart sank. \"It really is accelerating its recovery, even able to actively influence the outside world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many cultivators following behind arrived one after another. Seeing the pillar of pitch-black demonic energy rising into the sky and the terrifying, evil aura emanating from it, all of them changed color, struck with horror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What terrifying demonic energy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land have become like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't the seal reinforced by Jin Shisan and Ye Chen and the others before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Elder Youliang and the others from the Nether Sect saw this demonic energy, they were first startled, then a flash of secret joy appeared in their eyes, though it was quickly replaced by worry. The revival of the demonic energy was a good thing, but being so conspicuous would likely invite even greater trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned deeply, lightning crackling uncontrollably around his body, showing extreme rejection of this demonic energy. He felt a massive threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Imperial Prince's spies quickly sent the news back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stood before the demonic energy barrier, his \"Eye of Truth-Breaking\" operating at full power, attempting to see through this barrier and discern the situation inside. At the same time, the Nether Soul-Suppressing Token in his bosom throbbed violently again, but this time, besides longing, it carried a strong warning and repulsion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he tried to touch the demonic energy barrier slightly with his spiritual sense—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar that seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells, filled with endless resentment and tyranny, suddenly erupted from behind the demonic energy barrier! This roar was not a sound, but acted directly on the level of the soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some lower-cultivation Golden Core cultivators in the distance who were slightly closer were immediately struck as if by a heavy blow, clutching their heads and screaming, blood flowing from their seven orifices; some even had their souls shattered instantly and fell to the ground dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators felt their souls tremble, their faces turning pale as they retreated in horror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan bore the brunt of it, feeling an icy, bone-chilling intent filled with the desire for destruction pierce his sea of consciousness like an ice pick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a muffled groan. His Chaos Nascent Soul bloomed with clear radiance within his dantian, his Soul Armor Art activated automatically, and the invisible spiritual armor on the outer layer of his sea of consciousness shone brilliantly! At the same time, the Nether Soul-Suppressing Token in his bosom spontaneously triggered a circle of clear, peaceful, nether light, protecting his soul core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying demonic intent crashed against the dual defense of the Chaos Soul Armor and the Soul-Suppressing nether light; although it stirred up violent waves, it failed to truly harm Lin Xuan's foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still forced back half a step by this power, his face turning slightly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This demon... it was stronger than before! And it seemed to be \"paying special attention\" to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ant... ruining my plans... I will devour your soul...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A segment of intent filled with extreme malice was branded directly into Lin Xuan's perception like a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the demonic energy barrier, the sealed Abyss Demon Consciousness had already awakened to the point where it could actively exert influence on the outside world and even conduct soul attacks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation had instantly become incredibly dire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator who witnessed this scene felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes in the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Land had already exceeded their imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the focus of it all gathered once again on that figure in cyan robes, standing alone before the demonic energy barrier, resisting the impact of the demonic intent—\"Jin Shisan\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter 70)\u003C\u002Fp>",1692,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","179ce8e3a25fcbccd17dd5a4bf1dbe9fb25f62061f218e4bdb3c3d8a53059987","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-71","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-69",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
