Chapter 116: The Purple-Clothed Woman

  A shattered world.

  It was a dilapidated small world.

  Ye Han felt like he was going crazy, how could such a terrifying thing appear in a place like this?

  Just as the peculiar polyhedral crystal rose, a dreadful aura radiated from the towering black demon temple at its center, instantly enveloping the entire first layer of space. The lofty aura wafted out, making one feel unconsciously small and insignificant, despite being just an aura.

  Ye Han watched as, thousands of meters away on the horizon, a massive and majestic yet broken black temple rose up, with a single transparent polyhedral crystal slowly rising from it, his eyes filled with shock and incredulity.

  "What is this? It's not just a simple thing, it's a broken little world!"

  In an instant, Ye Han's heart cursed a sentence, he finally knew.

  In this ancient thousand-year-old black temple, a demon saint with a small world was actually buried. For some reason, the small world in his body was preserved... and then everything had an answer.

  This so-called "world" is not the world in the usual sense, but refers to the strongest among certain underground demon worlds. The holy-level strongmen of the human world, transcending the ordinary and entering the sacred realm, control thunder, shrink the earth into inches, and form their own domain with sword energy. In the human world, this is called a "domain", while in the underground demon world it is called a "small world". And such an existence, even in the underground world, is a terrifying figure of giant proportions.

  Generally speaking, with the fall of a Saint-level powerhouse, the domain or small world formed within their body will collapse, and a terrible energy storm will wreak havoc, leaving nothing behind. However, there are exceptions. Among the hundreds of fallen Saint-level powerhouses, one or two of their small worlds will inexplicably remain intact, and to this day, no one knows why.

  It's rare for such a broken small world or domain crystal to be passed down through the ages. Because it contains the essence of a saint-level strongman's life-long accumulation, these broken small worlds or domain crystals have some unimaginable effects in themselves. Even if they are obtained by a strong man in the 'Void Secret Ability Way', he can even inherit this broken small world and set foot on the holy level.

  In this world, there are only so many saint-level powerhouses, each one a most formidable figure. Behind every massive force lies their shadow, mutually deterring and unwilling to make the first move, too few in number, truly standing at the pinnacle of the human world.

  A broken little world or a domain crystal, capable of producing a saint-level powerhouse. Although it may be weaker than a powerhouse that has personally comprehended the saint-level truth, it is still a saint-level after all! This temptation is really too great, enough to drive countless warriors and forces crazy.

  In ancient times, it was said that there were peerless strongmen who used the crystal of this domain to cast weapons in a small broken world, possessing unimaginable and terrifying power. Apart from this, this small broken world contained the enlightenment of a saint-level strongman's lifetime, and careful observation could also gain many insights, with benefits too numerous to count.

  It was unthinkable that in the depths of the Rhinoceros Tribe's Divine Iron Mine, a small, broken world still lingered, which was truly shocking.

  Ye Han finally knew what the so-called Saint's goal was. This must be a strong Void Secret Art practitioner who knew the inside story of the underground world, wanting to inherit this broken small world, thereby evolving himself, transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint-level existence.

  At this moment, the multi-faceted transparent crystal of that broken small world had risen to the highest sky, suspended at the top of the magnificent black temple, slowly rotating, and the terrifying pressure from the demon's breath at the very top made all the lower demons in the first layer of space crawl down.

  This is the strict hierarchical division in the underground world between the upper class and the lower demons, which comes from the strong oppression of blood lineage. Unless one's strength reaches a certain level, it is impossible to overcome.

  However, the semi-transparent crystal of that broken small world only slightly released a terrible aura, and then it was as if all its energy had been exhausted, and all fluctuations were retracted into it. It quietly floated in the air above the magnificent black temple. If not for witnessing that terrifying scene just now, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this ordinary semi-transparent polyhedral broken crystal was actually a small world left behind by a Saint-level expert!

  And converged the suppressed power of the blood vessels, those low-ranking demons that were crawling on the ground also trembled and stood up. They seemed to be used to it and continued with their respective tasks, some buried the divine iron array with cryptic inscriptions, while others maintained the space array method to consolidate and expand the broken boundary space array. Each was busy with their own tasks under the supervision of the white silver and bronze demons, without any signs of disorder.

  On the other side, the conversation between Rhinoceros man Ximu and Zita as well as several high-ranking silver level demons also faintly came through.

  The general meaning is that the explosion of the fragmented small world sealed in this temple has become more frequent, and it has reached an unstable moment in a year. They are waiting for this opportunity, as long as they can summon out the so-called saint, they can use the pre-buried divine iron array pattern to detonate the entire temple space seal, break through all the bans, and get that fragmented small world...

  Ye Han concealed his figure, listening to their conversation, gazing at the distant vast and majestic black temple in the sky, a semi-transparent crystal polyhedron floating above it, and suddenly an inexplicable idea popped into his mind.

  "If I were to obtain this shattered little world, even if it's just a tenth of it, or even smaller, what kind of change would it bring about when merged with my body?"

  This idea was like a demon in his heart, as soon as it appeared, it immediately set his whole heart ablaze.

  "Not all of it is needed, just half will do, even a tenth!"

  His heart thumped with excitement as he actually thought about how to get the benefits out of this.

  "Hmph, you look like you're eager to move, but unfortunately your strength is somewhat lacking. However, it's barely passable. At least you're much better than those trash from Huang Jin City. How about this: why don't we team up later and I'll give you one-tenth of the spoils?!"

  At this moment, as if seeing a ghost, a woman's voice suddenly appeared in Ye Han's mind.

  Ye Han's heart was shocked, and he suddenly turned his head to see a mysterious woman in purple clothes standing behind him. She wore a purple dress, a black hood, and a thin veil covering her face, with a slender figure that seemed like a purple flame. Her long black hair flowed smoothly down, revealing the outline of her pale profile.

  But what's strange is that this eye-catching purple color, the woman in purple stood there, and everyone seemed to be completely unaware of her? Even those dozen or so high-ranking silver-bound demons patrolling back and forth seemed to have lost their sight, not even glancing at the woman in purple, as if some mysterious power had isolated their perception, deliberately guiding them away from noticing her.

  Everything is so quiet and soundless, yet so eerie and ghostly.

  Ye Han looked at the mysterious purple-robed woman, his heart fiercely clenched...

  ……

  "He's a master!" Ye Han's heart skipped a beat.

  Being able to appear silently behind oneself without being detected is a terrifying thing in itself, indicating that the woman's strength has exceeded one's imagination. The scene of all the underground demons around her being completely oblivious to her presence further solidified Ye Han's speculation.

  "This woman is terrifying!"

  Ye Han had already given himself a definition in his heart.

  Although the woman looked quite young, he didn't dare to make any assumptions based on that. This was a world of high martial arts, where human lifespan had been greatly extended, and the stronger one's abilities were, the less their age showed. Many powerful old monsters might look like they were only in their teens or twenties due to their extraordinary strength.

  The woman in purple gave him a feeling of hidden danger, an absolutely terrifying figure.

  "Who are you?!"

  Ye Hansheng gazed at the purple-robed woman with a cold and stern expression.

  "You don't need to care who I am? It's just a deal."

  The woman in purple looked at him, with her white and perfect facial profile tilted, revealing a careless chin.

  "What if I don't agree to this deal?!"

  Ye Han asked back.

  "You can't refuse. Agree with me, I'll give you a good deal, and after the matter is settled, I'll send you one-tenth of the domain crystal. Otherwise, if I just whisper a word here, what do you think the outcome will be?"

  The woman in purple clothes had a hint of complacency in her voice.

  "Are you threatening me?!"

  Ye Han's voice sank even lower.

  "A threat? Heh heh, you can understand it that way! I'm warning you, don't think about resisting or both of us getting hurt. Although your spiritual power is a bit strange, it's not enough to harm me now. Your strength isn't as strong as mine, so at times like these, you have to listen to me. However, this is the first time I've seen an ox-headed person with such enormous spiritual power, it's actually quite interesting."

  The woman in purple clothes laughed lightly in her voice.

  On the contrary, Ye Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This purple-clothed woman was terrifyingly powerful, but her personality seemed like that of a little kid.

  "Alright, you win. So tell me, what do we do now?" The momentum was stronger than the person, and Ye Han wasn't a fool either. Whatever this purple-clothed woman wanted to do? Let's see first.

  "Let's wait!"

  The woman in purple seemed to be more and more interested in Ye Han, saying with great interest.

  "What?!"

  Ye Han didn't understand.

  "That's right, just wait."

  The woman in purple clothes looked at the low-ranking demons busy in the first space, and her voice reached Ye Han's ears.

  "After that guy who likes to hide in the shadows from the underground world and those fools from the Golden City start fighting, we'll make our move."
