The outside world was buzzing with discussion.

In the projection, facing the girl's somewhat sharp sword aura, the massive black demon eye on the trunk of the King of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly snapped open, and a strange, transparent ripple instantly expanded outward.

The moment the domain unfolded, the girl named Ye Xinglan felt her body suddenly stiffen.

In just a few short breaths, her originally rosy skin began to develop lines of aged wrinkles.

Her black hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the long sword she wielded became sluggish, to the point where she could barely hold it steady.

"This... is this the power to strip away lifespan?"

"Aging a millennium in an instant?"

In the comment section, countless soul masters who had initially looked down on the King of Ten Thousand Demons collectively gasped in shock.

"A time-type domain!"

"How is anyone supposed to fight this? Once caught inside, wouldn't they turn into a pile of dust before long?"

"Too terrifying, this ability is simply unreasonable!"

Inside Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu could no longer sit still, his eyes filled with shock.

"What a 'Millennium in an Instant'."

"If those elderly powerhouses on the verge of death were caught in this domain without any precautions, wouldn't they be killed in an instant?"

Some of the continent's self-proclaimed elites silently noted the characteristics of the Demon Eye Demon Tree, marking it as a taboo that must never be provoked.

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, the King of Ten Thousand Demons had become somewhat numb.

"Sky Screen, you are going to be the death of This Seat!"

"All of my hidden trump cards have been exposed; what will I use to face my enemies in the future?" he muttered to himself in grief and indignation.

The sentiment in the comment section also underwent a 180-degree turn.

"I thought he climbed to his position through luck, but with a move like this, who can withstand it?"

"Eighth place, well-deserved; I even feel it might be a bit low."

"Top-tier bloodline, top-tier fortuitous encounters, plus a time domain—he is truly worthy of being a 550,000-year-old titan!"

On the side of the soul beasts, Xiong Jun watched the scene of life force being stripped away and shrank his neck in lingering fear.

"Pervert, why is this Star Dou Great Forest full of perverts..."

In the core area, a faint glimmer of interest flashed through Gu Yuena's purple eyes.

"A mere touch of the laws of time is indeed a devastating blow to the short-lived human race, who only live for a hundred years."

"However, for us, it is not exactly fatal."

At Rainbow Academy, Shui Bing'er and the others clapped their hands, their faces full of shock.

"This King of Ten Thousand Demons truly has terrifying methods."

Long Yun sat to the side, the corners of his mouth curling up in amusement. He looked at the Sky Screen with a strange expression.

"This old tree spirit used this move against me plenty of times when he was being tormented by me back in the day."

Thinking back to those past events, Long Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons had collected quite a few immortal herbs and various precious medicines in the Star Dou Great Forest. Back then, in order to get his hands on more good things, Long Yun had frequently gone to "mooch" off the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

As if to confirm his memories, the image on the Sky Screen suddenly shook violently.

Then, a new scene slowly emerged.

It was a hidden valley, the very place where the King of Ten Thousand Demons stored his treasures.

In the void, a deep rift suddenly tore open in space.

A mysterious man, radiating nine-colored light but with his face completely obscured, strolled leisurely out of the spatial rift.

"Hmm? Who is this now?"

"Someone actually snuck into the lair of the King of Ten Thousand Demons?"

The barrage was instantly piqued with immense curiosity.

On screen.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons, in a fit of shock and rage, thrust countless thick vines from the ground, attempting to tear this uninvited guest to shreds.

At the same time, his massive demonic eye snapped open, and his "Millennium in an Instant" domain was unleashed to its full extent.

However.

A scene unfolded that left everyone stunned.

Facing the King of Ten Thousand Demons' all-out time domain.

The mysterious figure merely flicked his sleeve.

Wind, fire, lightning, earth, water...

Countless elemental forces, violent to the point of extremity, instantly coalesced into a brilliant elemental cage, pinning the King of Ten Thousand Demons firmly in place.

The laws of time, capable of stripping away life, disintegrated the moment they touched these forces of pure, extreme elemental power.

This was not a battle on the same dimension at all.

After suppressing the King of Ten Thousand Demons until he could not move, the mysterious figure picked through the pile of immortal herbs, selectively taking a few of the highest quality.

Before leaving.

The mysterious figure seemed a bit apologetic and casually tossed down a white jade bottle.

A few drops of crystal-clear liquid, radiating a terrifying aura of life, flashed through the air and vanished.

The Sky Screen thoughtfully provided an explanation: [God-Level Life Water.]

The barrage could not hold back at this moment.

"What kind of peerless big shot is this? It's one thing to unilaterally crush the King of Ten Thousand Demons, but to leave compensation after taking things?"

"Wait a second, that's God-Level Life Water!"

"The value of this stuff is higher than those few immortal herbs he took, isn't it!"

And the King of Ten Thousand Demons in the footage.

After the mysterious figure left, he first shrank his branches in fear.

Then, looking at the Life Water on the ground, he sighed helplessly and honestly rolled it into his trunk.

That appearance.

He looked exactly like a helpless punching bag who could only passively submit.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. They just said the King of Ten Thousand Demons was invincible, and in the blink of an eye, he was beaten into a nobody!"

"King of Ten Thousand Demons: I wanted to resist too, but he gave way too much, and I couldn't beat him anyway!"

"Is this what a transaction between big shots looks like? Truly something you rarely see in a lifetime."

Inside Rainbow Academy.

Long Yun rubbed his nose in embarrassment, watching the teasing in the barrage, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Was I really that overbearing back then?"

"I clearly gave him the Life Water in exchange at the end; that should count as an equivalent trade, right..."

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons watched the Sky Screen, the face on his trunk darkened like the bottom of a pot.

"Sky Screen... you truly intend to trample this Seat's dignity into the dirt!"

He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into; not only was he exposed, but his "humiliating history" from back then had been made public.

In the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena suddenly stood up, her sky-purple eyes fixed intently on the mysterious figure radiating nine-colored light in the footage.

"Controlling the elements of the heavens..."

"This kind of near-whimsical control over the laws."

"It really is the Queen!"

Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled slightly, the excitement in her eyes nearly overflowing.

"The Queen is not only alive, but she was at the King of Ten Thousand Demons' place not long ago!"

"Where are you... why do you keep hiding from me?"
