Yun Jin silently watched the Demon Soul, waiting for that exact moment when the gap would open.
Finally.
Under the erosion of his magic, the spatial barrier grew weaker and weaker, slowly worn down. In an instant, a tiny pinpoint appeared on the spatial barrier. Though it was just a small dot. It was enough!
A flicker of wild joy passed through the Demon Soul's eyes. This pinpoint would vanish in a blink. But with his strength, he wouldn't miss it.
In a flash, he saved the coordinates of this world and sent them to the Outer-Realm Demon World!
The moment the information was sent.
The Demon Soul's face showed anticipation. With the speed of his true body's senses, it should only take a few breaths for the Demon Sovereign to detect the coordinates!
Then! The Demon God himself would descend!
Their devouring demon clan would seize the advantage and be the first to profit from this small world!
Who knows.
This might be their chance to leapfrog into becoming the strongest race in the Outer-Realm Demon World!
Just as the Demon Soul was filled with expectation.
The moment he sent the coordinates. An unbelievably terrifying mental force suddenly enveloped him!
The spatial barrier instantly repaired itself completely. The information he had just sent was forcibly trapped within the barrier!
The Demon Soul's pupils constricted sharply!
What the hell!
This is…
Someone is hiding here!
He whipped his head around.
In the void Yun Jin walked out leisurely, a radiant smile on her face. "Do you like this little surprise?"
The Demon Soul's lips trembled.
Yun Jin! It was Yun Jin again!
How the hell was she still here?
Even worse.
He noticed Yun Jin was holding a bamboo skewer, still stained with black marks.
So!
The barbecue smell he smelled just now… it really wasn't his imagination!
This woman was insane!
He had rushed over here at full speed, risking everything. She must've arrived here way before him, huh?
"Yun Jin!" the Demon Soul gritted his teeth. "This time, you won't stop me!"
In an instant, he didn't hesitate and burned his Primordial Soul. He had to send the coordinates!
After igniting his soul, his mental power instantly doubled.
But!
Even with that strength, Yun Jin's mental power remained as stable as a mountain, firmly reinforcing the barrier at its weakest point!
Sweat dripped from the Demon Soul's forehead. He'd already burned half of his soul and still couldn't shake Yun Jin's terrifying mental force! What kind of monster… is she?!
Yun Jin smiled. "Let's see where this Outer-Realm Demon World really is."
She closed her eyes.
Her powerful mental force had already traced the path of that fragment of information.
[Beep. Coordinates of the Level-One Small World Polar Night Demon World detected. Unlock map: Polar Night Demon World?]
Yun Jin squinted.
Outer-Realm Demon World was just what they called that small world; its true name was Polar Night Demon World.
As expected.
With the coordinates, the task system had the conditions to unlock the map. Once unlocked, the Mission Hall could issue tasks for the Outer-Realm Demon World!Once she accepted a task, she could travel there!
[Due to the high level of the Outer-Realm Demon World, unlocking its map requires 100 billion Emotional Value.]
Yun Jin winced slightly. But earning Emotional Value was way easier now. Almost every living being was providing her with some.
After annihilating the demon clan, their last contributions had given her an extra surge of Emotional Value. Though she spent a lot, she earned even more. After accumulating it for a while, her Emotional Value had finally surpassed one trillion.
Spending 100 billion to unlock a Level-One Small World map was more than worth it.
Yun Jin gritted her teeth. "Unlock the map!"
Just wait, she'd earn back this Emotional Value in Polar Night Demon World.
"Yun Jin!" The Demon Soul realized he was completely outmatched and feigned a pitiful expression. "I just want to go home! Why won't you even let me fulfill this tiny wish? Come to think of it, I haven't even harmed your humans much. Why are you always against me, a poor demon clan who only wants to go home?"
Tears fell from his soul body as he spoke.
Yun Jin just watched silently.
Go ahead. Keep pretending!
The Demon Soul performed for a while, but seeing Yun Jin unmoved, he clenched his teeth and wiped away the tears. His voice turned vicious. "Do you know who I am? If you dare kill me, the Demon God will avenge me and tear you to pieces!"
Yun Jin smiled. "Is that your final testament?"
The Demon Soul's expression changed. "You think I'm joking? I'll tell you this. My demon world and your world will merge sooner or later! If you kill me, the moment the small worlds merge, it'll be your death!"
Yun Jin waved her sword. "I can't wait!"
The swordlight fell.
The Demon Soul's Primordial Soul screamed in agony as it was scorched. He couldn't control Yang Yun anymore. The two were bound together, suffering. Yang Yun rolled on the ground in pain.
Yang Yun looked at Yun Jin in desperation, begging. "Sect Master Yun, I have both human and demon blood. My heart always leaned toward the humans. If I wasn't forced by this Demon Soul, I wouldn't have become a Demon Sovereign! I beg Sect Master Yun to spare my life!
Sect Master Yun's abilities are vast. There must be a way to kill the Demon Soul without harming me! If it's impossible, consider my human blood. Sect Master Yun could reseal the Demon Soul, let me control the body, and I'll obey the humans, repent, and start anew."
Yun Jin looked at Yang Yun in mild disbelief.
Spending Emotional Value could probably save him.
But…
Why should she? Was she insane?
She ignored his pleas, continuing to slash. Each strike weakened the Demon Soul.
Finally.
The Demon Soul and Yang Yun both realized they had no hope.
They started cursing frantically.
Yun Jin ignored it.
Then.
She utterly destroyed the Demon Soul's Primordial Soul.
The instant the Demon Soul vanished, Yang Yun lost all life.
The Demon Soul was gone.
Yang Yun was dead.
[SSS-Rank Task: Protect the Small World completed. Return to Mission Hall to claim your reward.]
[SSS-Rank Task: Human-Demon Final Battle completed. Return to Mission Hall to claim your reward.]
Yun Jin raised an eyebrow.
Before now, the Human-Demon Final Battle task hadn't marked as complete. It was because Yang Yun, the Demon Sovereign, was still alive. Only now could the task truly be considered finished.
