"You have a way to leave!" Duán Qīngshān was shocked, then calmly said, "You are too confident. I've seen many people, each claiming they have a way to leave, but in the end, they're trapped here, even the strongest aren't exceptions. You haven't experienced the cruelty here." In an instant, Chu Yuan looked at him with deep eyes, a magnificent will of sovereignty over the heavens roaring and crushing over. Duán Qīngshān's vision blurred. His strength was greater than Xiāo Àn's, but suddenly, being intimidated by Chu Yuan's power, he felt his own insignificance, as if the other was an omnipotent existence. Though both are origins, they are different from each other. "Your strength rivals true powerhouses. No, even they don't have this momentum!" Duán Qīngshān said in horror, "You've elevated to this level, but I'm not disparaging the Emperor. Even with such strength, it's hard to leave, unless the strongest comprehend their own eternal path, perhaps they can force a way out on their own!" "What the strongest cannot do, I can do." Chu Yuan said calmly, directly stepping into the boundless void. Duán Qīngshān watched Chu Yuan leave, his face changing continuously, finally gritting his teeth and pursuing, shouting, "Emperor, wait!" "You've changed your mind." Chu Yuan stopped, looking at him. "I've been trapped here for a long time. If there's a chance to leave, I don't want to miss it. If the Emperor can really take me away, I'm willing to obey and work for the Emperor." Duán Qīngshān was very clever. He knew Chu Yuan was mysterious and extraordinary, his methods unpredictable. If he could truly take him away, that ability would be terrifying, and aligning with him wouldn't be a bad thing. And even if he couldn't, he wouldn't lose anything. He played his cards well. "Compared to this small prison, I'd rather be in the larger cage outside." "I can leave whenever I wish." In Chu Yuan's words, there was endless confidence. Leaving was easy, but returning would be difficult, which was why he wasn't in a hurry to leave. He asked, "How much do you know about this place?" "The Emperor wants to know about the powerhouses in the prison. Truthfully, I don't know how many there are. The Emperor knows, too. This place is infinitely vast, seemingly the opposite of the eternal path, and it's unknown how many are trapped here." What he said was true. This place has no boundaries; anyone might come in. It seems like the inside and outside of a mirror with the eternal path. Chu Yuan nodded slightly. He saw that this was a strange spatial-time rule, an eternal time and space that transcended dimensions, integrating the past, present, and future. "But within the region I know, there are two most formidable ones." Duán Qīngshān continued, "One is called Venomous Demon Emperor, who controls poisonous powers. He's an eight-level origin, a tyrant here, established a Demon Emperor Star, and used his power to forcefully enslave countless powerhouses, among them at the seventh level." "The other is called Celestial Demon Book. Although he's only at the seventh level, his true form is very powerful." "Celestial Demon Book!" Chu Yuan showed little interest in the Venomous Demon God, saying, "In ancient times, there was a mighty figure called the Book Ancestor. Under him were books of divine knowledge. This Celestial Demon Book was the one documenting demon civilization in the Book Era." "Yes, exactly that one, recording the demon civilization, quite terrifying!" Duán Qīngshān said, "This Celestial Demon Book hasn't been in the prison long, but upon arrival, caused a massive storm, sweeping over the relics of many powerhouses. The Venomous Demon Emperor has long coveted the Celestial Demon Book, launching multiple attacks, but all in vain." "The Celestial Demon Book's essence contains the demon path's truth, passed down through countless ages. The Venomous Demon Emperor wishes to obtain it, hoping to elevate himself to the ninth level, or at least live a few more ages." Chu Yuan said slowly, "Lead the way, take me to the Celestial Demon Book." "The Emperor wants to subdue the Celestial Demon Book!" Duán Qīngshān was shocked. He could sense, saying, "But that Celestial Demon Book isn't easy to provoke; even the Venomous Demon Emperor couldn't handle it." "You need not ask further. I have my own methods." Chu Yuan said calmly. He wasn't interested in ordinary powerhouses, but the Celestial Demon Book was different. It represented knowledge, the demon path's knowledge, which many powerful demons in his empire also possessed. Imagine, if he had this Celestial Demon Book, the endless knowledge of the demon path, how greatly it would benefit him. The empire requires the inheritance of knowledge.

After some time, he pointed ahead, "Emperor, there is where the Celestial Demon Book resides. How do we go in?" Chu Yuan saw a giant book, though it looked like a book, it was clearly a vast book universe. Dense demonic aura billowed out, transforming into many demonic forms, some of which even Chu Yuan hadn't seen, unaware of which era they were created in. "There's the presence of battle here." With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan reversed time and saw a battle scene. Duán Qīngshān was more shocked and awed, saying, "It should be traces from a battle with the Venomous Demon Emperor, not too long ago. Leaving aside the value of the Celestial Demon Book itself, within it, there are endless Eternal Divine Crystals. Emperor, how should we enter and seek out the book's master?" Chu Yuan directly walked into the Celestial Demon Book. Duán Qīngshān was surprised to find that although there were many strong defenses set up, when he and Chu Yuan entered, it was like walking into an uninhabited land, no one noticed their entry. They entered the Celestial Demon Book without any response. Duán Qīngshān vaguely speculated that this was a kind of spatial-time method. He knew they were in an independent time-space; they seemed to have entered the Celestial Demon Book but were not in the same plane. He couldn't help but think of Xiāo Àn, Yan Ling's foolishness, provoking the Emperor. Chu Yuan created the Eternal Time and Space, becoming the Eternal Body; how could the Celestial Demon Lord discover him? Duán Qīngshān saw that within the Celestial Demon Book were large demon cities. Each city was filled with uncountable demons—small demons, great demons—as numerous as stars, impossible to count. This was a Celestial Demon Kingdom, creating a prosperous civilization. "Not true demons, but book spirits transformed into demons, a special ability of the Celestial Demon Book." Chu Yuan saw through the essence. "Yes, but for the Celestial Demon Book to recklessly create such demons, how many Eternal Divine Crystals does it require? No wonder the Venomous Demon Emperor targets it; it's too dazzling." Duán Qīngshān watched with admiration, the prosperity and power of the created demon civilization. "Celestial Demon City." At this moment, Chu Yuan saw the most majestic giant city!
