In the past, when she hid inside the Heavenly Orb space, no one had ever exposed her, let alone exposed her so quickly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Me?" Fu Young rested his chin on his hand and smiled faintly. "I am Fu Young, the eldest disciple of this person here, and also his only disciple. My background is nothing special. To put it simply, before meeting my Master, I was just an insignificant nobody."

Other than being called the protagonist by that person and Gou Guangming and being told things like he would destroy the world and then recreate it, everything about him was actually very ordinary.

And honestly, whether it was destroying the world or creating it again, he had no interest at all.

Fu Young?

Yu Lin had never even heard of this name.

In the original story, there had never been such a person from beginning to end.

Xiao Shou also did not have any disciple.

What was going on?

How did such an outstanding character appear?

How did he become Xiao Shou’s disciple?

He could even detect her hidden presence.

Ever since she entered the ancient inheritance ground and obtained the ancient talisman cultivator inheritance, this feeling of being completely seen through had never happened before.

On the side, Yu Lin was completely stunned after hearing Fu Young’s answer.

In an instant, she began to suspect that this was not the book she had read at all.

Perhaps ever since Xiao Ran was reborn, this world had already turned into a story where the female protagonist reborn and counterattacks the villainess, which was why so many changes had occurred and so many characters that did not exist in the original appeared.

In a sense, her guess was not entirely wrong.

At this moment, Fu Young looked toward the blue clothed woman and said, "You attacked my most important Master. Although I really want to deal with you now, you are still somewhat useful to me, and time is a bit short. So if you can survive and leave this place, I will personally take your life next time. For now, I would like to thank both of you for your selfless contributions. Thank you very much."

Fu Young’s expression suddenly shifted.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

After finishing his earlier words in a slow and unhurried tone, he turned his gaze away.

At the same time, he released the purification technique and looked toward the enormous heart inside the restriction.

In that instant, everyone present heard an extremely tragic and soul piercing roar in their minds.

The massive heart trembled violently.

From its very center, it was abruptly torn apart and sucked into a blood red vortex.

Xiao Ran and Yu Lin were both stunned.

A chill ran down their spines as they watched the scene unfold.

They saw the heart of the Hell Flame Beast being shredded from the core and the destruction spreading outward bit by bit.

After a brief pause, Xiao Ran immediately reacted.

She stopped holding back and fully activated the Fate Devouring Array, turning it against Fu Young as she shouted, "Stop! That heart belongs entirely to me. Give it back!"

"It’s here."

Fu Young ignored her attack completely.

Before it could reach him, he flashed to Xiao Shou’s side and wrapped his arms around the gradually calming Xiao Shou whose long hair was slowly settling down and held him in his arms.

He turned his head slightly and gave Xiao Ran and Yu Lin a meaningful look.

The corners of his lips lifted.

"Enjoy my hospitality. No need to be polite."

"I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, the spatial fluctuations flickered.

Both he and Xiao Shou then disappeared.

Only Xiao Ran and Yu Lin were left staring at each other in shock.

But before they could think further, even more frenzied blood beasts rushed toward them.

Worse still, the restriction itself was collapsing.

All the blood beasts poured out at once.

As they carefully extended their divine sense to investigate, they finally discovered the truth.

The most essential core of the Hell Flame Beast’s heart that was about four thousand cubic units in size had completely vanished.

Thinking back to that blood red vortex, both of them immediately understood.

The self proclaimed Fu Young had pierced straight through the Hell Flame Beast’s heart and taken its most essential core.

The Hell Flame Beast was already dead.

Everything now was just a desperate final struggle.

A dying counterattack.

"Cunning little brat."

Both of them cursed inwardly at the same time and unleashed their full techniques.

Xiao Ran glanced at Yu Lin who was still struggling to evade the blood beasts and had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Her eyes flickered.

She moved through the chaos of blood beasts and quickly reached the shattered remains of the heart.

Without hesitation, she placed her hand on the spot where Fu Young had taken the essence.

The Fate Devouring Array activated.

In an instant, an unimaginable suction force erupted.

The entire heart vanished.

At the same time, the massive body of the Hell Flame Beast that was larger than mountain ranges began to be drawn into Xiao Ran’s body.

Mountains, rivers, and the surrounding terrain started to disappear as well.

Xiao Ran’s cultivation rapidly surged and color returned to her pale face.

Only then did Yu Lin finally realize what was happening.

Xiao Ran intended to do exactly as in the original story and use her Heavenly Orb to absorb the entire secret realm.

However, she did not know that Xiao Ran had already obtained a new trump card called the Fate Bestowing Array.

The Fate Bestowing Array could revive the dead.

While the Fate Devouring Array could devour all things for her own use.

For Xiao Ran, becoming stronger herself mattered far more than making the Heavenly Orb stronger.

"Brat, how dare you! You actually killed the Hell Flame Beast and destroyed my Fox Clan’s secret realm. You are asking for death."
