Qin Feng's words, "Rewrite it," exploded in Shi Ji's heart like a chaotic divine thunder, shattering her billion-year-old worldview and the so-called destiny of the Heavenly Dao.

She stared blankly at the man before her, her mind a complete blank, her entire Primordial Spirit trembling from his extreme dominance and arrogance.

Tear apart the script written by a Saint?

Rewrite the fate decreed by the Heavenly Dao?

In this world, how could anyone dare to utter such treasonous words!

In this world, how could there be such... comforting words!

Just as Shi Ji's mind was in turmoil, almost completely lost in Qin Feng's world-beating gaze, Qin Feng had already withdrawn his eyes, as if he had just mentioned something trivial.

He reached out and naturally took Shi Ji's cool, soft hand.

A warm touch sent a shiver through Shi Ji. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Qin Feng held it tightly.

"Let's go."

Qin Feng's tone was calm, without the slightest ripple.

"Go... Go where?" Shi Ji's voice trembled slightly, her heart pounding like a drum, her cheeks already burning.

She hadn't reacted at all, her thoughts still stuck in the world-shattering shock from moments ago.

Qin Feng didn't look back, just held her hand and took a step forward.

"To Chentang Pass, to take on a disciple."

"And by the way, let you see for yourself what 'defying heaven' truly means!"

The moment his voice fell, Shi Ji felt the scene before her twist violently.

Everything around them, the jagged rocks of Skeleton Mountain, the lush ancient trees in front of the cave dwelling, even the flowing wind and the frozen clouds, all lost their original forms in an instant.

The entire world seemed to transform into a painting splashed with dark ink, all colors and lines collapsing madly towards the point beneath Qin Feng's feet.

There were no fluctuations of spatial laws, no surges of immortal energy or magic power.

Shi Ji only felt herself enveloped by an indescribable, immense power, as if she had traversed the dimensions of time and broken free from the constraints of space.

One step.

With just one step.

In the next instant, the world that had collapsed to its extreme suddenly expanded outward.

The clamor of voices, the bustling atmosphere of life, accompanied by a solemn, killing aura of iron and blood, rushed towards them.

Shi Ji's phoenix eyes widened abruptly. What met her gaze was a majestic and imposing pass city gate. Above the gate, the words "Chentang Pass" in a flowing script shone brilliantly in the sunlight.

And the two of them were standing quietly before the entrance of a magnificent mansion.

The plaque hanging above the lintel bore the words "General's Mansion."

From Skeleton Mountain to Chentang Pass, how many thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were there?

Arrived in one step!

What kind of Divine Ability was this?

Shrinking Ground into Inches?

No! Shi Ji's heart clenched fiercely. Ordinary Shrinking Ground into Inches merely used spatial laws for teleportation, with some minor fluctuations of magic power.

But Qin Feng's step was as if he had directly folded thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, forcefully merging the starting point and the destination into one!

This was the most fundamental, most brutal, and most extreme control over the Great Dao of Space!

How was this the method of an immortal?

This was clearly the authority possessed by a creator god!

Standing beside Qin Feng, Shi Ji felt like a newly initiated child. Her own billion years of cultivation and knowledge, which she had once prided herself on, were simply a joke in front of him.

"What demon dares to trespass into the General's Mansion!"

Just as Shi Ji was overcome with shock, a sharp shout pulled her back to reality.

In front of the General's Mansion, two rows of soldiers clad in heavy armor and holding long halberds looked at the two people who had appeared out of nowhere with expressions of horror, as if facing a great enemy.

Their hands were trembling, their legs were weak.

Moments ago, there was nothing in front of them, but in the blink of an eye, these two people were standing there so abruptly, as if they had been there all along.

This bizarre and extraordinary scene completely surpassed the understanding of these mortal soldiers.

"Quick! Hurry and report to the General!"

A soldier, who appeared to be the captain, suppressed his fear and roared at his stunned companion.

Inside the mansion, Li Jing was pacing back and forth, filled with irritation from his setback at Skeleton Mountain.

He couldn't understand how a mere demon cave of Shi Ji could possess such a terrifying sword formation.

Even now, the Geng Metal Sword Intent, so pure and extreme, made him feel lingering fear.

"Report--!"

Just then, a soldier scrambled in, his face a mask of terror.

"General! It's bad! Outside... outside there are two... two people!"

Li Jing frowned and impatiently snapped, "Two people and you're making a fuss? What kind of discipline is this!"

"No, General!" the soldier panted, speaking incoherently. "They... they appeared out of nowhere! One of them, it seems to be the demon immortal you mentioned before... that one!"

Appeared out of nowhere? A demon immortal?

Li Jing was stunned at first, then his eyes blazed with ecstatic light.

Shi Ji!

It was that demoness!

His mind raced instantly, and a chain of logic he thought perfect quickly formed.

The terrifying sword formation at the entrance of Skeleton Mountain must have been set up by some Great Power from the Jie Sect who happened to be passing by, just for show.

Such an important figure, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, how could they possibly stay in a demon's cave all the time?

Now, that Great Power must have already left!

This demoness Shi Ji, without her backer, and knowing his identity from the Chan Sect, must be afraid!

Afraid, so she didn't dare hide in her cave and instead came to his doorstep, ready to beg for mercy!

It must be like this!

With this thought, the slight annoyance and fear in Li Jing's heart vanished, replaced by boundless smugness and arrogance.

Good for you, demoness, you know when to be sensible!

But it's too late to beg for mercy now!

This General will capture you in front of everyone and tie you up to Kunlun Mountain to be dealt with by my senior uncle Taiyi. This immense merit, no one can snatch it away!

"Hahaha! Excellent!"

Li Jing burst into laughter, his face filled with the arrogance of someone who believed victory was assured.

"Pass my order! Gather all the household guards in the mansion, follow me out, and capture the demon!"

At his command, the entire General's Mansion erupted into chaos.

Dozens of household guards with considerable cultivation and fierce auras quickly assembled, each clad in fine armor and wielding sharp blades. They surrounded Li Jing and strode grandly towards the main gate.

Li Jing, clad in silver armor and with his hand resting on the precious sword at his waist, walked at the forefront, his steps vigorous and his aura soaring.

He had already decided that as soon as he stepped out, he would seize the initiative, enumerate Shi Ji's crimes, and then capture her with thunderous force. This would show the people of Chentang Pass that he, their General, was not only a commander on earth but also a distinguished disciple of an immortal, unmatched in might!

Filled with boundless ambition to achieve great deeds, Li Jing strode vigorously and proudly out of the General's Mansion.

His gaze immediately locked onto Shi Ji's stunningly beautiful figure. The sneer on his lips deepened, and he was about to utter the dignified reprimand he had prepared.

But at that very moment, his sight inadvertently met the eyes of the unremarkable man standing beside Shi Ji.

Boom--!

It was merely a momentary glance.

Li Jing's entire world collapsed.

The mansion gate, the soldiers, the noisy street before his eyes... everything vanished in an instant.

He felt as if he had fallen into a boundless sea of chaotic stars.

There was no up or down, no east or west, no time, no space.

Only endless silence and void.

And those eyes were the sole ruler of this chaotic sea of stars.

The deep gaze was like the most terrifying black hole in the world, carrying an absolute power originating from existence itself, intending to devour his soul, his will, his everything, and crush it into the most primitive particles.

This was not pressure, not aura, and certainly not any kind of magical attack.

This was a... absolute crushing on a life-form level!

Like an ant looking up at the Heavenly Dao.

Like dust glimpsing the universe.

"De... demoness..."

Li Jing's lips twitched unconsciously twice. All the harsh words he had prepared, all his arrogant posturing, were utterly shattered by that single glance, stuck in his throat, unable to form even a complete syllable.

A fear that was indescribable, originating from the deepest part of his soul, surged like a breached dam, instantly washing away all his defenses.

His legs felt as if all the bones had been removed, trembling violently and uncontrollably, making a "creaking" sound.

A cold sweat erupted from his forehead, his back, every pore of his body, almost instantly soaking through the imposing silver armor.

Inside the armor, it was icy cold.

His heart, however, felt as if it were clutched by an invisible giant hand, convulsing and pounding frantically, as if it would explode the next second.

Li Jing froze in place, the color draining from his face at a visible rate, becoming even paler than a corpse.

His eyes, which had been filled with arrogance and pride, now held only the purest, most primal terror... and despair.

The household guards behind him hadn't yet grasped the situation.

All they saw was their usually majestic general, who never flinched even if the sky fell, suddenly freeze as if struck by a paralysis spell after seeing the man opposite him. His face was deathly pale, and he trembled like a sieve.

It was a sight ten thousand times more terrifying than seeing a ghost!

For a moment, everyone was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances, not knowing what had happened.

The entire area in front of the General's Mansion fell into an unnervingly extreme silence.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng, the instigator of this scene, simply stood there quietly, holding Shi Ji's hand. A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on his lips, his gaze indifferent, as if he were merely looking at a... grasshopper foolishly blocking his path.
