After four days of hard work, Zhang Fei's four clones finally managed to clear the wandering souls. His first, second, and fourth clones immediately moved to complete the three daily quests.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei's fifth clone was standing alone while thinking about something. "Open the reward, Mei."

[You obtained the Cursed Demon Heart.]

Zhang Fei [5]'s brows furrowed after reading the notification, but he immediately took it from the system inventory. The black heart emitted an ominous black-red aura, and it kept beating with endless demonic energy. In the next second, the black heart shot into his body, causing him to fall to the ground and groan in pain. "Argh!"

[Master, the cursed demon heart has begun to devour your human heart.]

"Argh!" Zhang Fei [5] was used to enduring the pain of his lightning tribulations, but the pain this time was truly unbearable, making him curl up and groan in pain. "Damn it! Does this mean I'll lose my humanity, Mei?"

[I don't think so, Master. Your humanity has nothing to do with your heart, and it is more influenced by your character. As long as you can maintain your sanity, I believe you will never lose your humanity. Since the cursed demon heart has begun to devour your human heart, it cannot be stopped anymore. Moreover, the cursed heart is not an ordinary demon heart, and it will grant you extraordinary powers and abilities, which are related to demons.]

"Tch! I hope you're right, Mei."

Gradually, black-red lines appeared all over Zhang Fei [5]'s body, and a black-red cocoon began to wrap around his body, causing his consciousness to disappear. Within it, he transformed into his lust demon lord without his control. His blood-red eyes became even redder, and two more demon horns appeared on top of his head, which looked more like goat horns.

Witnessing Zhang Fei [5]'s changes, Mei couldn't help but wonder. 'What exactly was the purpose of the system creator in giving my master the cursed demon heart? Did she want him to become a complete demon? Based on the description, the cursed heart once belonged to a powerful ancient demon who brought destruction to an unknown realm, and it was indestructible, even though powerful cultivators had repeatedly tried to destroy it.'

*Thud*

Tian Gongzhu landed not far from Zhang Fei [5], but his situation frightened him due to the ominous black-red aura emanating from the black-red cocoon. 'Where did this cocoon come from? Why did his demon aura suddenly become so terrifying? I have fought many times against demons who tried to invade our realm, but their auras were not as terrifying as his. If I approach him now, I might die at his hands, so I should wait for him to finish before telling him about Senior Brother Jiyuan.'

Quickly five hours passed, and the black-red cocoon had disappeared. Zhang Fei [5] stood at his previous spot with his eyes open, and two notifications appeared in his mind.

[Ding]

[The host's heart has been replaced by the demon cursed heart.]

[The host has learned the cursed demon codex.]

===

Tian Gongzhu, who was watching Zhang Fei [5] from afar, held her breath. His gaze and aura were calm, but she could feel death from both of them. 'What happened to him? Why is he just standing still like a statue?'

Zhang Fei [5] suddenly stretched his hand forward with his palm facing upward, and a sizable black ball appeared above it.

"Cursed Black Sun." Zhang Fei [5] threw the sizable black ball into the sky, and it immediately emitted an unusual aura, causing Tian Gongzhu and the demon beasts around him to be controlled by their madness and become berserk. "I can use it straight away without having to learn it, and the effect is excellent."

[Perhaps you were able to do that because of the demon cursed heart, Master. Anyways, cancel that technique, or Tian Gongzhu and the other demon beasts will be trapped in her madness.]

Tian Gongzhu fell into a daze after the cursed black sun disappeared, and she felt her mind was in disarray due to its effects. 'Tch! Being close to this guy is really unpleasant!'

Zhang Fei [5] moved to the front of a demon beast that was still in a daze and touched it. His action shocked Tian Gongzhu again, mainly because the demon beast's body quickly rotted.

"Decay Curse." Zhang Fei [5] muttered. "This ability is almost similar to my life-force absorption ability, but it causes my target's body to rot to death."

Zhang Fei [5] then dashed toward two fairly large demon beasts and used another of his new abilities against them. "Soulbinding Curse."

In an instant, two soul threads shot out from the bodies of the two beasts and attached themselves to Zhang Fei [5]'s body. "Hmm? These feelings are quite peculiar."

[What do you feel, Master?]

"Even though it was not significant, their soul power still increased my soul power, and I can absorb their souls whenever I want." Zhang Fei [5] moved toward several other demon beasts and used the ability. "The more I use this ability, the more my soul power increases. I don't know what the limits are or the risks, so I'll try it now."

Zhang Fei [5] tried to kill one of the beasts, but the result surprised him. Upon the beast's death, his soul absorbed its soul directly, transforming it into his power. "This ability is more sinister compared to the soul manipulation, but I like the effect. There are still some other abilities I got from the cursed demon heart, but I can't try them on these demon beasts."

Zhang Fei [5] then moved in front of Tian Gongzhu, causing him to subconsciously take a step back. "What... what do you want to do to me?"

"Nothing." Zhang Fei [5] shook his head. "What about Tian Jiyuan? Has he contacted you?"

"Yes." Tian Gongzhu immediately told him. "Senior Brother Jiyuan has never been to this realm, so he can't possibly arrive so soon."

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding and opened the portal to his training space, and all the female demons by his side immediately came out of it. "Those wandering souls have disappeared, and only demon beasts remain in this realm. Moreover, other cultivators do not dare to approach this realm, so you guys can cultivate and increase your demon power here."

Zilvora and the others were overjoyed after hearing that, and they immediately spread out to several areas, looking for opponents of equal strength. Moreover, Zhang Fei's three other clones were also in that realm, so they were not too worried about their safety.

"Are you going to send the others to this realm, Fei'er?" Ru Xue asked him.

Zhang Fei [5] nodded. "After they finish dual soul cultivating with me, I will send them here, and they can train while waiting for their cultivation to stabilize. Once your cultivation is stable, we will begin our seclusion again. I have to go to the Netherworld Realm now to settle one of those heavenly foxes, so you guys can start practicing now."

"Yeah." Ru Xue immediately changed into her demon form and flew to another area.

.

.

.

Zhang Fei [5] had already arrived at the Netherworld Realm, and Tian Gongzhu used a transformation technique to return to her original form, but she was unable to hide her demon aura. "Contact Tian Jiyuan now."

"All right." Tian Gongzhu immediately carried out his orders.

In a few minutes, Tian Jiyuan had arrived in that realm. However, he did not come alone, and the other three heavenly foxes also came with him.

"Is he really Zhang Fei?" Tian Jianxia asked as she looked at Zhang Fei [5] with a fierce gaze.

Tian Jiyuan gave a light nod. "He is indeed Zhang Fei, but I didn't expect that his cultivation had already reached 7-Star Earth Realm in just nine months."

"Hey, do you guys feel like there's something strange about Gongzhu?" Tian Dan asked them.

Tian Chen immediately replied. "Gongzhu has become a demon, and this brat deliberately used him to lure us into this realm."

Tian Gongzhu looked at them apologetically, but she didn't say anything to them, especially since she knew that it was useless. Since she had become a demon, they wouldn't care about her anymore, and they would have to think about killing her.

The four heavenly foxes wanted to attack Zhang Fei [5] and Tian Gongzhu, but Morgana and Oz the First suddenly appeared behind them, forcing them to increase their vigilance.

Zhang Fei [5] said nothing and disappeared from their sight. In a split second, the four heavenly foxes were sent flying in four different directions, and they felt immense pain in their stomachs.

"Cough... cough..." Tian Jiyuan immediately wiped the blood on his mouth, but Zhang Fei [5] had already appeared in front of him and punched his chin, propelling him in mid-air. "Guah!"

Tian Dan, Tian Jinxia, ​​and Tian Chen teleported behind Zhang Fei [5] to attack him. However, he once again disappeared, reappeared behind them, and landed a heavy blow onto their backs.

"Argh!"

"Gah!"

"Guah!"

The three heavenly foxes screamed in pain because of Zhang Fei [5]'s attacks. They moved next to Tian Jiyuan, staring at him in complete shock. Their cultivation had already reached the Seven Divine Realms, while his was still in the ten mortal realms. Despite this, his speed outpaced theirs, rendering their teleportation abilities ineffective.

"Heh." Zhang Fei [5] once again disappeared from their sight, and his first target was Tian Dan, who was standing on the far left. He didn't beat the male heavenly fox anymore, but instead, he used his petrification ability.

"Help!" Tian Dan shouted and reached out to his three companions, but his body quickly turned to stone.

Zhang Fei [5] then moved behind Tian Chen, and he also used his petrification ability to turn him into stone.

"Shit!" Tian Jiyuan and Tian Jianxia immediately moved to attack Zhang Fei [5].

Zhang Fei [5] entered the invisible state and made a move against Tian Jianxia by using his newly acquired ability, the soulbinding curse, on her. He bound her soul to his, absorbing her soul power to increase his.

"Jiyuan! Help!" Tian Jianxia shouted as her soul rapidly weakened, which also weakened her body because the soul is an essential part of the body. Zhang Fei [5] then sealed her cultivation so that she could not contact the other heavenly foxes for help.

Tian Jiyuan wanted to help Tian Jianxia, ​​but Zhang Fei [5] directly intercepted him and punched him in the face, sending him flying backwards.

Tian Jiyuan was completely shocked by Zhang Fei [5]'s actions. 'This bastard! How could his abilities improve so significantly in just nine months? Back then, we forced him to escape to this realm, but he was able to keep up with us and defeat three of us.'

"Are you surprised by my abilities?" Tian Jiyuan immediately turned around and punched directly, but Zhang Fei [5] casually caught his fist and squeezed it, causing him to grimace. "Soulbinding curse."

Tian Jiyuan used his other hand to punch his chest, but his attack lacked power after Zhang Fei [5] absorbed his soul power and weakened him. 'What the hell is this?'

Zhang Fei [5] gave a faint smirk and punched Tian Jiyuan's chest several times at high speed, causing his sternum to crack and blood to spew out of his mouth.

*Splurt*

"Cough... Cough..."

"The four of you are indeed stronger than me, but you guys won't be able to defeat me." After he said that, Zhang Fei [5] beat Tian Jiyuan black and blue, without him being able to avoid a single one of his attacks. Additionally, he used his demon-absorbing to weaken the male heavenly fox, causing him to scream in pain.

[You gained 3,000,000 Qi from Tian Jiyuan.]

Once the male heavenly fox was in a helpless state, Zhang Fei [5] directly enslaved Tian Jiyuan and used his new ability on him. "Karmic curse."

"I thought you were going to kill them."Morgana said this as she and Oz the First flew up to them.

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head. "If I kill them, Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing will find out right away, and they will definitely send stronger heavenly foxes to hunt me down. This guy is my slave now, and I will use him to monitor them."

'Shit! Why are we this unlucky?' Tian Jiyuan cursed in his heart with the little consciousness he had left.

"What are your plans for the other three heavenly foxes?" Oz the First asked him.

"I will leave two petrified foxes in this realm, and I will take the woman with me to the Nine Hells Darkland." Zhang Fei [5] suddenly remembered a person. "Do you know Wang Yin, Morgana?"

"Did you meet Wang Yin in the Nine Hells Darkland?" Zhang Fei [5] nodded at Morgana. "I met her a few times, and she is one of the good demons in the upper realms. If you can get her support, she can help you create corpse armies, and they will be useful to you because they will never die."

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in agreement. "I have thought about it, but I will not be going to the Demon Purgatory Realm anytime soon, and I will meet her when I am ready."

After he gave some orders to Tian Jiyuan, Zhang Fei [5] brought Tian Gongzhu and Tian Jianxia to the Nine Hells Darkland. On the other hand, Morgana and Oz the First bring the petrified Tian Chen and Tian Dan back to the demon castle.

Tian Jiyuan, who was lying limply on the ground, immediately swallowed a pill to recover himself. His expression was filled with regret because he was so stupid to take Zhang Fei [5]'s bait and go to the Netherworld Realm. Not only did he become his slave, but his three companions also fell into his hands. "Damn it! Even though he is also a heavenly fox like me, I am really unlucky to be his slave."

.

.

.

When they arrived at the Nine Hells Realm, Zhang Fei [5] immediately threw Tian Jianxia to the ground and said to Tian Gongzhu. "You should not unseal her cultivation and let her become a demon fox like you."

After he said that, Zhang Fei [5] immediately went to another area of ​​​​the realm, where he let the demon extermination sword kill the demon beasts.

"You traitor! You trapped us and caused the four of us to suffer terrible luck!" Tian Jianxia shouted to Tian Gongzhu, but her tone was too weak.

Tian Gongzhu could only sigh upon hearing that. "Senior Sister Jianxia, ​​I really don't want to betray you, but I can't go against his orders. I can't explain the details to you, and you will know for yourself when he comes back here."

Tian Jianxia said nothing more and lay on the ground with a weak body and soul. Her expression was filled with regret and despair, thinking about her future after she turned into a demon fox. Moreover, she was sure that Zhang Fei [5] still had other plans for her, and she was truly terrified, thinking of him enslaving her like he did to Tian Jiyuan.

.

.

.

A few hours later, Zhang Fei had finished dual soul cultivating with all his wives, and he sent them all off to the Nine Hells Darkland. Naturally, he also sent Elmyra there so she could protect them from the influence of the demon aura.

Thereafter, Zhang Fei went to the Hong Clan to meet people from that clan, Jin Ruyue, and Murong Qianying. He then explained his new plan for the Shang Clan. "Are you really going to make a move on them this soon? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
