“Cao Tianle, has Village Chief Liu not returned yet?”
Su Yang nodded, “It’s okay. Even if he hasn’t returned, our current strength is enough to get through this.”
“Just be cautious and don’t leave Chi Yang Cave.” After reassuring Cao Tianle, they entered the cave.
Next came the long wait.
Once inside the cave, everyone obediently stayed put.
Cao Tianle had arranged for Gu Daofeng to guard the entrance, notifying them immediately of any unusual activity.
Gu Daofeng had no objections to this arrangement. Even if he were to encounter danger, it didn’t matter. After all, if just one of them survived, they could break the entire closed-loop world.
Time flew by, and it was midnight.
As this time arrived, the nighttime cold grew even more biting.
Su Yang could even sense that the temperature inside Chi Yang Cave had dropped slightly. This was not good news. The lower temperature in the cave meant reduced suppression of the demon, which increased their danger.
As expected, as soon as the temperature inside the cave dropped, a commotion could be heard at the entrance.
Gu Daofeng returned to the cave, looking serious, and said, “They’re here!”
He had sensed the demon’s approach at the entrance and wouldn’t just stand there waiting to die. Even if he weren’t afraid of death, it didn’t make sense to die meaninglessly.
Inside the cave, Su Yang opened his slightly closed eyes.
He led everyone to the entrance of Chi Yang Cave. While the cave was safer, it was still a confined space. If they couldn’t hold back the demon at the entrance, it would be a certain death, cutting off all their retreat options, forcing them into a life-and-death battle with the demon inside Chi Yang Cave.
Just as Su Yang sealed the entrance, a dark figure rushed in from outside. This figure had long black fur and a human-like appearance. At a glance, it looked like a creature covered in black fur.
Su Yang’s perception registered the demon’s power drop from the sixth layer of air cultivation to the fifth layer as it entered the cave. The demon’s strength was now suppressed by one level.
This was more than enough for Su Yang. He believed he could overpower the demon even without using the temporary pill.
[Thunderous Sword of Thunder!]
With a single thought, countless Thunderous Swords, enveloped in lightning,
shot towards the demon.
The entire Chi Yang Cave was bathed in a deep blue glow. The difference of just two levels of cultivation was insurmountable.
The demon couldn’t resist.
In a matter of moments and a pitiful scream, the demon perished, turning into ashes and disappearing.
“Phew… Finally, it’s over.”
Seeing this scene, Cao Tianle couldn’t help but speak. To break this closed-loop world, he and Gu Daofeng had worked for who knows how long. The endless repetition left them feeling dazed. Now, they could finally see a glimmer of hope to shatter the closed-loop world.
Whether or not there would be rewards remained to be seen, but breaking the closed-loop world was what they hoped for most now.
Cao Tianle and his group breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Su Yang wasn’t as optimistic as they were. Although it seemed like the event had ended, he knew that nothing was over until it was completely over.
“Dear friends, it may not be as simple as you think. Everything isn’t over yet,” Su Yang shook his head, cautioning them.
As someone who had seen the world, he understood how these things worked. The elation felt by Cao Tianle and his companions, who had been busy for so long to break this closed-loop world, made Su Yang wary.
It had already left them with a psychological shadow. Breaking a closed-loop world was so difficult. What would it be like when they entered the Celestial Realm?
Fortunately, the Celestial Realm was not just about the Evil God, and there were other ways to obtain resources besides defeating the Evil God.
For them, this was good news. Cao Tianle and his group, all six of them, let down their guard.
Su Yang, on the other hand, was not as optimistic. Although it seemed like the event had ended, he understood that it might not be so simple. The event wouldn’t truly conclude until they had completely shattered the closed-loop world.
“Senior Su, do you think something else will happen?” Cao Tianle asked.
Su Yang shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but we haven’t completely shattered this closed-loop world yet, have we? Let’s celebrate after we’ve completely shattered it.”
Cao Tianle and his group exchanged glances and regained their vigilance.
Haven’t shattered it yet?
What else could happen?
“Senior Su, does that mean something else will happen?” Cao Tianle inquired.
Su Yang shook his head, “I don’t know, but we haven’t completely shattered this closed-loop world yet, have we? Let’s celebrate after we’ve completely shattered it.”
Cao Tianle and his group looked at each other and became alert once again.
Yes… the closed-loop world has not yet been shattered.
They had celebrated too early.
“Gu Daofeng, you stay at the entrance and notify us of any changes,” Su Yang instructed.
“Understood.”
Gu Daofeng immediately took his position.
For a long time after that, nothing happened. It seemed like everything had truly ended.
It wasn’t until around 3 AM that another anomaly finally occurred.
Looking closely, it was none other than Village Chief Liu, who hadn’t appeared for a long time.
“Village Chief Liu?”
In an instant, Gu Daofeng sensed that something was wrong.
Village Chief Liu was about to say something with a smile on his face. However, Gu Daofeng disappeared in the blink of an eye, heading into Chi Yang Cave. “There’s a disturbance; Village Chief Liu has appeared!”
This Village Chief Liu appeared when he shouldn’t have, which was clearly abnormal.
Su Yang stood up, and Village Chief Liu’s figure entered the cave entrance.
“Su Yang, I told you not to tell the villagers about this matter, but you still let them run around. That’s not good…”
Su Yang coldly snorted, “Hmph, you monster, I can tell at a glance that you’re not human, so stop pretending here.”
Su Yang hadn’t expected that the final boss wasn’t a demon or an injured old Daoist. It was actually Village Chief Liu.
However, no matter what, he had won this time.
Village Chief Liu didn’t hide his true form and instantly transformed into a giant, hideous demon, tearing through his human disguise.
He said, “So what if I’m not human? Today, you will all become my sustenance! Don’t think you can hide from this night within Chi Yang Cave!”
Village Chief Liu’s aura was fully exposed, demonstrating his cultivation level at the seventh layer of Qi Refinement. Due to the suppression in Chi Yang Cave, it was equivalent to the sixth layer of Qi Refinement.
With this level of power, Cao Tianle and his companions couldn’t hope to resist him.
However, Su Yang was different.
Su Yang took out the temporary pill that could boost his power.
He swallowed it in one gulp, and an endless river of Thunderous Swords burst into the air, covering the entire Chi Yang Cave.
“Hide? Tonight, I have no intention of hiding. Prepare to meet your doom!” Village Chief Liu waved his hand, creating a black mist barrier in front of him.
However, he soon realized something was wrong.
“No… How is this possible? How can you continue to use this power?”
After resisting for a moment, Village Chief Liu discovered that Su Yang’s power was endless, and it didn’t seem to be depleting.
His barrier was about to shatter, and it couldn’t hold back Su Yang.
In the blink of an eye, Village Chief Liu decided to escape.
Su Yang didn’t hesitate; he immediately pursued him.
It was no time to spare.
A man and a demon, one in front and the other behind, burst out of Chi Yang Cave.
Inside the cave, Cao Tianle raised his arm, wanting to say something but hesitated.
Senior Su… we just need to survive tonight…
But Su Yang didn’t care about that. After rushing out, he followed suit.
He trod upon a river formed by the Thunderous Swords, descending like a God of Thunder from the ninth heaven.
Pursuing Village Chief Liu, who was three realms higher than him.
Village Chief Liu, noticing Su Yang’s approach, said malevolently, “Hehehe… You still dare to chase me…”
Su Yang let the river of Thunderous Swords rush over, engulfing Village Chief Liu.
However, what good was a mere three-level difference?
Village Chief Liu, who had just boasted, began to scream.
“Ahh… No… You can’t kill me… This is just a low-dimensional world… How can I perish…”
Su Yang paid no heed to such words. Only a dead enemy was a good enemy.
Even after exiting Chi Yang Cave and losing the suppression of his realm,
Village Chief Liu, now transformed into a demon, was no match for Su Yang.
In the end, he was grinded to death by Su Yang using the river of Thunderous Swords.
Utterly destroyed…
In that instant, the closed-loop world shattered into fragments, gradually breaking apart.
Everything they had before them faded away.
They returned to the normal star system restricted zone.
