Ancient starry sky.
Beyond the Ninth Heaven.
Not even a single divine-demon corpse remained...
The chess domain gradually retracted, spirit pressure beams fading. Most Fire Elemental Realm divine-demons fled; the rest became captives of Five Phoenixes and ancestral powerhouses.
Perhaps because divine-demons served as Fortune Tower reserves, cultivators grew frenzied.
Seeing divine-demons like treasures—even corpses not spared, all hauled back to Five Phoenixes.
Old Man Xuancang faced this bizarre scene: speechless.
Now battlefield cleanup saved.
Void.
Lu retracted Spirit Pressure board—exhaled, fairly satisfied.
This wave captives: enough Fortune Tower run three millennia—decent, bountiful harvest.
Only pity: few Great Dao divine-demons.
Such tiers no linger battle—no will: situation wrong—abandon immortals, slip away.
Thus few Great Dao captured—Lu unsatisfied.
Black-White Empress watched Lu interestedly—all ancient starry events under her gaze. Truly unexpected: divine-demon invasion end thus.
Humans and divine-demons roles swapped?
Divine-demons human resources... ordinary mind?
Even divine-demons no use humans cultivate—mostly swallow world sources. Yet Lu: directly use divine-demon power cultivate.
If humans strong: divine-demon nightmare.
Too troublesome.
If those Elemental Gods knew: mindset explode—wish tear Lu pieces.
"Embarrassing display."
Lu turned—saw Black-White Empress curious gaze. Leaned Thousand-Bladed Chair—said.
"Right—you had matters?"
Black-White Empress shook head.
"No rush—these divine-demons routed so quick: surely fraud. Next: big trouble."
"Watch if you handle. If I leave front foot—your world divine-demon extinguished back foot: better take girl directly."
Black-White Empress direct, merciless.
Lu brows raised—next big trouble?
Lu pondered briefly: understood.
"You mean... these Fire Elemental Realm divine-demons likely distraction—their true target ancestral lands?"
Black-White Empress no explain—but Lu knew guess likely true.
If ancestral fall: divine-demons no easy spare Five Phoenixes.
If Lu Elemental God: while humans ununited—or ancestral fall news shock: surprise assault.
Then Five Phoenixes perhaps poor resistance—divine-demons exterminate.
"Thus next big trouble."
Black-White Empress smiled.
Suddenly hand shook—slender hand void pinch: seized Black-White Beast—tossed, landed Lu legs.
Lu stunned—eyed fluffy Black-White Beast.
Beast very obedient—no cry fuss, even silent—so obedient Lu doubted quasi-saint terror beast.
"Here—Black-White Beast yours. Didn't you want try? Try... if subdue: let follow."
Black-White Empress smiling said.
But eyes playful.
Yes playful. Beast now obedient: her presence. Once gone: Lu instant swatted dead perhaps.
Quasi-saint terror beast—subdue: two ways.
One: personality charm conquer—like Black-White Empress.
Other: fists—beat submission.
Thus Black-White Empress curious: Lu how—choose way conquer Black-White Beast.
Lu eyed Black-White Beast—eyes narrowed, lips curved faint gentle smile.
Extended hand—lightly stroked fluffy Black-White Beast.
Gentle motions.

Leg-perched Black-White Beast: enjoyed expression.
Watery big eyes stared Lu—full smile, as if saying... human—you dead!
Lu blooming smile—you continue pretend!
How conquer: Lu felt tricky—human quasi-saint terror beast. If conquer: Five Phoenixes own guardian powerhouse.
Though no Black-White Empress—got her pet... no loss.
Black-White Empress no further chat Lu—long legs slit skirt faint, step out—left chaotic void, back Buzhou Peak.
Next days: plan good chat girl—incidentally... pass some inheritance.
Black-White Empress heart slight heavy.
Though many starry epochs passed—this time: inexplicable suffocating oppression.
Premonition: true great calamity—she perhaps not survive epoch. Thus hope Zhulong—carry inheritance, continue Black-White Empress position.
Black-White Empress gone.
Spatial chaos atmosphere instant weird.
Faint terrifying killing intent surging.
Lu smiled.
Returned lake island.
White Jade Capital pavilion—leaned railing wind listen. Legs: Black-White Beast quiet perched.
But faint: fluff faint glow—terrifying aura flowed.
Oppressive, stifling—as if great terror awakening.
"Ning Zhao, Ni Yu, Yi Yue... Young Master seclusion—you guard. Old rules."
Lu transmitted.
Three maids heard: instant left island—triangular position guard lake island.
Young Master seclusion: commonplace.
Roar...
Low roar from Black-White Beast mouth.
Drool flowed endless—originally watery big eyes: extreme ferocity. Stared Lu like peerless delicacy.
"Black-White Empress let you follow—understand?"
Lu leaned Thousand-Bladed Chair—fingers tapped armrest—faint said.
Yet low roar continued.
Black-White Beast body gradually inflated bulge—cute fluff under: terrifying muscles flesh expand.
Oppressive low roar from inflating body echoed.
Gentle breeze blew—carrying ferocity.
Blew Lu white robes fluttering.
Lu seated Thousand-Bladed Chair—black hair white robes fluttered killing intent. Face very calm—no hurry—as if before not quasi-saint terror beast—but stretching kitten.
...
Buzhou Peak.
Black-White Empress very curious—black-white eyes flickered—pierced void, soon saw lake island situation.
Watched left her: arrogant Black-White Beast—face playful emerge.
No rush—if Black-White Beast truly swat Lu: instant act seize. Lu cannot die—carried that person's aura—she dare not provoke.
But Lu cannot subdue Black-White Beast: not her issue.
After all: gave Lu chance.
Boom boom boom!
Black-White Beast full sharp fangs—drool flowed. Black-white distinct fluff: steel needles.
As if became black-white giant bear—short legs step: deafening booms.
Lake island outer.
Ni Yu, Ning Zhao, Yi Yue three maids expressions slight change.
Young Master this seclusion... what?
Such commotion?
Danger? Rush save Young Master?
But that beast released aura: likely no match—enter mere add three snacks.
Buzz buzz...
But hearts swayed moment.
Vast sea: aura waves exploded.
Terrifying auras descended.
Tonggu Daoist led Old He and four quasi-saints arrived lake island outer.
Ning Zhao expression instant solemn—six ancestral quasi-saints?
Seek Young Master what?
"Sister Ning Zhao... old Daoist very urgent important matter seek Brother Lu—trouble notify."
Tonggu inhaled—grave said.
This gravity: Ning Zhao sensed—Tonggu unlike usual.
"Senior—Young Master seclusion. Matters wait emergence."
Ning Zhao said.
Seclusion?
Tonggu brows furrowed—instant sensed unusual. Lake island: extremely terrifying aura—quasi-saint terror beast aura.
"Black-White Beast?"
"Black-White Empress's Black-White Beast how lake island? Empress ignore?"
Tonggu stunned.
But soon: seemed thought something.
"Perhaps Brother Lu bet Black-White Empress?"
Tonggu mind flexible—instant connected.
Suddenly Lu's voice drifted lake island.
"Tonggu senior wait—once I subdue this little cutie: discuss details with you. No rush—soon."
Lu's words: Tonggu and Old He etc. quasi-saints expressions odd.
"Subdue Black-White Beast?"
Tonggu baffled—what operation?
You mere initial Emperor—subdue quasi-saint tougher Black-White Beast?
Perhaps lifetime impossible.
But Lu said: Tonggu no way. Fortunately current Five Phoenixes internal time array running—sufficient time.
Island.
Lu eyed chest-pounding ultra-fierce Black-White Beast—smiled.
"Sensed?"
"Island outer six human quasi-saints—all my human powerhouses—all mine—you scared?"
Lu said.
Black-White Beast sharp fangs mouth curved—disdain low roar.
Scared?
Mere six human quasi-saints—what fear?
Even unbeatable—curl ball—let beat—impossible kill.
Lu seemed read Black-White Beast thoughts.
"Indeed—many bully you: dishonorable—you no convinced."
"Plus—I Lu Ping'an dislike ganging."
"Thus fair—you and I one-on-one. But change my home field—okay?"
Lu said.
Black-White Beast not dumb—understood words.
Before human weak extreme—yet want one-on-one physical?
Want submission?
Even hundred places: no fear.
Thus low roar—agreed.
"I excel primordial spirit—we spirit battle."
Lu smiling said.
Words: spirit exited—above head translucent Lu.
Black-White Beast eyes sharpened—spirit exited: roaring black-white beast—terrifying spirit oppression.
Black-White Beast thought this human absolute fool—spirit battle fear?
Quasi-saint combat: spirit power crush this weak human to dregs.
"Strong!"
Lu feigned surprise.
Black-White Beast spirit proud.
This human... scared!
Lu gritted teeth: "But still try..."
Then raised hand—struck array word.
Black-White Beast felt world spin—next... surroundings changed.
Lu pulled Black-White Beast to preaching platform.
Just entered—Black-White Beast yet react.
"Qian, Kun, Kan, Zhen..."
Lu seated platform—white robes flying—mouth recited formulas, hands formed seals.
Boom!
Mysterious array words: winds clouds surged—then Eight Trigrams cauldron heaven descend—Eight Trigrams platform sudden fall.

Black-White Beast still baffled—suppressed.
Black-White Beast enraged!
This human... dirty heart! Schemed him!
"Roar!"
Black-White Beast furious—claw struck—fierce hit Eight Trigrams cauldron.
Caidron array words flickered.
Black-White Beast body trembled tasteless—spirit power like water drained...
Where flowed: naturally white jade palace.
Black-White Beast heart startled.
Lu satisfied smiled—handle quasi-saints: now Lu only effective primordial spirit suppression.
Fire Elemental God just mad—Lu felt handle ease.
This Black-White Beast surely submit his personality charm.
Seated Eight Trigrams platform—Lu smiled.

Understood: Eight Trigrams cauldron absorb spirit power—cannot attack.
Roar!
Black-White Beast low roar—this human think trap submission?
Dream on!
Black-White Beast curled ball—nestled Eight Trigrams cauldron.
Endurance contest—who fear?
Lu seemed anticipated Black-White Beast reaction.
Mind stirred—platform: Five Phoenixes Bow drop by drop converged.
Raised hand—bow full moon.
Arrow five energies gathered surging—Lu merciful: no innate purple qi—arrow power slightly weaker.
Whoosh!
Lu released.
Arrow shot.
Blur—direct penetrated Eight Trigrams cauldron—hit Black-White Beast.
