This was a white-haired man dressed in tattered grey clothes.

His figure was somewhat hunched, and his hair was draped over his shoulders like a mess of weeds.

One of his hands was gently holding the cold, pale little hand of the female corpse.

His gaze remained fixed on the female corpse's face, his eyes filled with a profound sorrow so intense that anyone who looked at it would be moved to tears.

Sun Tai rushed forward and also discovered the man sitting on the ground.

Sun Tai stopped, releasing his divine sense to scan the man.

"Middle Infant Transformation stage?"

Sun Tai frowned slightly, muttering the words under his breath.

He had initially thought that whoever was guarding the female corpse in this desolate wilderness would be at most some ignorant, low-level cultivator.

He hadn't expected that the other party's cultivation would be the same as his own, also in the Infant Transformation Stage, and having reached the middle stage.

However, Sun Tai did not feel afraid.

As fellow old monsters in the Infant Transformation Stage, he, as an elder of the Corpse Yin Sect, not only possessed various vicious magical treasures but was also skilled in corpse refinement techniques.

If a fight were to break out, he was absolutely confident that he could snatch this prime female corpse from the other party.

"Fellow Daoist."

Sun Tai clasped his hands behind his back, a smile that didn't reach his eyes appearing on his face.

"This female corpse has already lost her life; keeping her is useless to you."

"Why not let this old man have her?"

"This old man can offer one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, plus three magical treasures, in exchange. How about it?"

Sun Tai's voice echoed in the empty mountain valley.

But the white-haired man sitting on the ground didn't even turn his head.

He acted as if he hadn't heard Sun Tai's words, still gazing foolishly at the woman on the Cold Jade Bed.

He reached out with his other hand and gently tucked a stray strand of hair from the woman's forehead behind her ear.

Being so utterly ignored by a cultivator of the same level, Sun Tai's expression immediately turned grim.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Sun Tai snorted coldly.

He suddenly raised his right hand, and from the sleeve of his wide black robe, a large mass of dense black malevolent energy surged out.

This mass of malevolent energy twisted and rolled in mid-air, transforming into a giant, black-scaled ghost claw.

The ghost claw, carrying a whistling, sinister wind, clawed mercilessly towards the white-haired man's back.

He didn't want to directly destroy the female corpse, so he focused all his attacks on the man.

Just as the ghost claw was about to strike.

The white-haired man, Zhou Yi, who was guarding here, finally turned his head.

On his weathered face, there was no anger, nor panic.

Only a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well.

Zhou Yi looked at Sun Tai, his hoarse voice emerging from his cracked lips.

"You've disturbed Ting'er."

Following these simple six words.

A strange fluctuation suddenly spread from Zhou Yi's body.

This was not an explosion of spiritual energy.

It was an emotion, a fixation, a realm that penetrated the soul!

The Dementia Realm!

In an instant.

The temperature of the entire ice and snow valley seemed unchanged, but Sun Tai felt his heart plummet.

The ferocious black ghost claw in mid-air, upon contact with this invisible fluctuation, actually disintegrated like a pile of uncontrolled loose sand in mid-air.

It turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

"What kind of realm is this?!"

Sun Tai was greatly alarmed and retreated two steps.

When cultivators in the Infant Transformation Stage clashed, it wasn't just about magical power, but also about the realms of understanding the laws of heaven and earth.

Sun Tai felt enveloped by an intense sorrow and madness.

Within this realm, he even recalled his secular emotions from hundreds of years ago when he was still a mortal, emotions he had long abandoned in the corners of his memory.

His Dao heart actually showed a trace of wavering.

"Playing tricks!"

Sun Tai bit his tongue, using the sharp pain to clear his head.

He rapidly formed seals with his hands before his chest and spat out a mouthful of black vital essence.

The vital essence transformed into a massive Bronze Ancient Bell in mid-air.

The bell's surface was covered in twisted faces, emitting chimes that shook the soul.

"Suppress him!"

Sun Tai roared, and the Bronze Ancient Bell descended upon Zhou Yi with immense force.

Douluo Continent.

All the spectators held their breath as they watched this sudden battle on the Sky Screen.

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong's hands were clenched tightly.

"Is this the peak combat power of that world?"

"That old monster named Sun Tai, a single treasure he casually threw out could level one of our main cities."

Shrek Academy's training grounds.

Tang San's eyes glowed purple as he stared intently at the screen.

"No, the white-haired man's attack method is completely unreasonable."

Tang San analyzed in a low voice.

"He didn't use a weapon, nor a treasure. He used his own emotions."

"Transforming emotions into a tangible attack domain, this cultivation system is unheard of."

In the ice and snow valley.

Facing the Bronze Ancient Bell descending upon him.

Zhou Yi did not dodge.

He slowly stood up from the cold snow.

One of his hands was still tightly holding the hand of the female corpse on the Cold Jade Bed.

With his other hand, he gently patted towards the Bronze Ancient Bell in mid-air.

As this palm strike was unleashed.

The Dementia Realm erupted completely.

The snowflakes falling throughout the valley seemed to have all turned into Zhou Yi's weapons.

A majestic power, carrying the obsession of protecting his beloved, fiercely collided with the Bronze Ancient Bell.

"Dong!"

A muffled, heavy sound.

Sun Tai's proud treasure trembled violently in mid-air.

Then, before Sun Tai's disbelieving eyes.

A subtle crack appeared on the surface of the Bronze Ancient Bell.

The crack rapidly expanded, spreading across the entire bell.

With a "bang."

The massive Bronze Ancient Bell exploded into scrap metal, falling onto the ice.

With his treasure destroyed, Sun Tai was affected, his chest tightened, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Clutching his chest, his gaze towards Zhou Yi finally held a trace of deep fear.

"Madman! You're a madman!"

Sun Tai retreated, cursing loudly.

"Both of us are in the middle Infant Transformation stage, yet your realm is so domineering."

"For a dead person, you've poured your entire mind and spirit into this realm. Are you tired of living!"

Sun Tai knew he had encountered a tough opponent today.

Such a madman, who completely disregarded his own life and poured all his spirit into protecting a corpse, could not be judged by common sense.

If he continued fighting, he would definitely not gain any advantage, and might even lose his life here.

The female corpse was desirable, but he needed to be alive to claim her.

"I'll remember this debt!"

Sun Tai uttered a harsh threat.

He unhesitatingly patted the storage bag at his waist and took out a talisman paper covered in blood-red runes.

He crushed the talisman paper.

Sun Tai's body instantly turned into a mass of dense blood-red light.

He pulled the black wooden coffin containing Qian Daoliu beside him and shot up into the sky, madly fleeing towards the outside of the valley.

His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he had flown hundreds of feet away.

Watching Sun Tai's retreating back.

Zhou Yi's gaze remained calm.

He turned his head and gently looked at Ting'er on the ice bed.

He waved his arm, setting up a thick defensive light barrier around the Cold Jade Bed.

"Wait for me for a moment, I'm going to kill someone and I'll be back to accompany you soon."

Zhou Yi said softly.

Then he soared into the air.

Without the aid of any flying magical treasures, he stepped directly onto the void out of thin air.

With one step, Zhou Yi's figure vanished from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already less than fifty feet above Sun Tai.

A great chase between two Infant Transformation Stage old monsters began on this snow-covered land.

The Sky Screen's image split in two.

One half closely followed Sun Tai, who was desperately fleeing ahead, while the other half leisurely pursued from behind, with Zhou Yi.

The audience of Douluo Continent also experienced what "gods fighting" meant as they followed this chase.

In mid-air, Sun Tai was sweating profusely.

He felt the Dementia Realm behind him was like a persistent ulcer, impossible to shake off.

"Damn it!"

Sun Tai gritted his teeth.

He urged his blood-red light to fly while continuously pulling out various magical treasures from his storage bag.

A poison dagger emitting a green light was thrown out by him.

The dagger transformed into a giant poisonous snake in mid-air, opening its gaping maw to bite at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's expression was blank, and he didn't even slow down.

He simply raised his hand and casually pointed forward.

A ripple of invisible intent spread out.

The seemingly ferocious poisonous snake, without even touching Zhou Yi's clothes, let out a mournful cry in mid-air and reverted to its dagger form.

Then, with a crisp crack, the dagger broke in two from the middle and fell into the snow below.

Sun Tai's scalp tingled as he watched.

He gritted his teeth and took out another Black Net, scattering it behind him.

The net grew larger in the wind, instantly obscuring half the sky, with eerie green Ghost Fire burning on its threads.

Facing this overwhelming net.

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

He rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest and uttered a strange syllable.

A dazzling white light erupted from his body.

This white light was not an ordinary spell, but an attack method formed by solidifying his Obsessive Devotion.

The white light transformed into a giant hand, directly grabbing the Black Net.

With a "rip."

The incredibly tough magical treasure net was easily torn into shreds by this White Palm.

The chase between the two crossed countless ice mountains.

The towering peaks below, in the aftermath of their clashes, collapsed and shattered continuously, as if made of tofu.

Snow and debris flew everywhere, creating a scene like the end of the world.

Qian Daoliu, lying in the black wooden coffin.

Was suffering immensely at this moment.

The coffin was being dragged by Sun Tai, flying at extreme speed through the sky. Not only was it bumping violently inside, but every impact from the magic treasures outside sent shockwaves into the coffin, making Qian Daoliu feel his blood surge.

He, a dignified Level 99 Ultimate Douluo.

Normally, he was the one chasing and beating others. When had he ever suffered the indignity of being locked in a black box and taken to escape like this?

What made him feel even more stifled was.

He could clearly sense the white-haired man outside, who was pursuing and killing Sun Tai.

The power that could destroy a mountain with a casual wave of his hand had long surpassed the scope of any skill in the Douluo Continent.

"This is a cultivator..."

Qian Daoliu gave a bitter smile inside the coffin.

"Moving mountains and overturning seas, destroying heaven and earth."

"The so-called gods of our Douluo Continent are probably just slightly stronger mortals in front of them."

The chase lasted for nearly the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Finally, after flying over a vast ice field, Sun Tai stopped.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run anymore, but his internal magic power was almost depleted.

The Blood Escape Technique consumed a great deal of vital blood. If he continued running, he would die from the exhaustion of his vital blood before Zhou Yi even had to act.

Sun Tai turned around, his face deathly pale, gasping for breath.

He looked at Zhou Yi, who was hovering in the air only thirty feet away.

"Fellow Daoist, we are both at the middle Infant Transformation stage."

Sun Tai gritted his teeth, attempting a final struggle.

"I admit I was a bit presumptuous just now, but I did not harm that female corpse."

"If you insist on a fight to the death, I will self-destruct and ensure you don't have an easy time!"

Facing Sun Tai's threat, there was not a ripple of emotion on Zhou Yi's face.

He slowly raised his right hand.

"You disturbed her, so you must die."

As he raised his hand, the surrounding space seemed to have all its air instantly sucked dry.

A Dementia Realm, so vast that it made Sun Tai feel suffocated, surged from all directions, completely enveloping him like a tide.

Within this realm, Sun Tai felt as if his mind was about to explode.

He saw all the evil deeds he had committed in his life, saw the innocent mortals he had killed.

Sun Tai suddenly bit his tongue, and a metallic, coppery taste spread through his mouth.

Using this piercing pain, his eyes instantly regained a sliver of clarity.

"We are both at the middle Infant Transformation stage, do you really think I fear you, madman!"

Sun Tai roared, his hands rapidly changing hand seals in front of his chest.

Following his movements, a violent energy erupted from his body.

The snowflakes that were falling in the sky instantly stopped in mid-air, and then were vaporized by an invisible force.

"Lightning Realm, open!"

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed above the valley, shaking ice blocks loose from the surrounding ice mountains.

Heavy dark clouds gathered from nowhere, and purple lightning flickered within the clouds.

These lightning bolts were not ordinary natural phenomena, but the laws of heaven and earth that Sun Tai had comprehended.

Each lightning bolt that struck carried a destructive, violent aura.

The Lightning Realm was the epitome of hardness and yang.

Under the impact of this fierce power, the immersive Dementia Realm that had been present was finally torn open with a gap.

Two invisible forces collided in mid-air, emitting a piercing friction sound.

Zhou Yi grunted and took half a step back.

His current cultivation was only at the middle Infant Transformation stage, essentially on par with Sun Tai.

He had been able to suppress the opponent earlier solely due to the desperate, preemptive use of his realm.

Now that Sun Tai had recovered and unleashed his Lightning Realm in full force, the situation was instantly balanced.

Moreover, Zhou Yi had to divert a significant portion of his energy to protect the Cold Jade Bed behind him, making it impossible for him to fight at full strength.

Purple lightning struck the defensive light barrier Zhou Yi had erected, causing it to shake violently and its light to dim.

Sun Tai saw Zhou Yi's hesitation, and a sinister smile appeared on his gaunt face.

"So you're a lovesick fool, unable to fight with all your might while guarding a dead person."
