The surging sword energy, imbued with the dual power of True Flame's Heavenly Principle and the Sword's Heavenly Principle, swept downwards.
Before the formidable weapon and sword techniques, the blood-colored monster's body was as fragile as tofu.
With a single sword strike, it directly devoured the attacking blood-colored monster, tearing open half of its body and revealing bloody red flesh within, an utterly nauseating sight.
"If this is all you've got, my next sword will send you to your demise!"
A flicker of killing intent flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, and the aura of his God-Slaying Sword grew even more terrifying.
During this period, he had acquired many top-tier divine-grade profound techniques through Lin Xueyan and the others.
Although he had given many away, his own cultivation had progressed even faster, and by mastering the Sword's Heavenly Principle, he had easily reached the Great Accomplishment realm.
With his current strength, if he were to go all out, coupled with the power of the divine-grade sword techniques, this blood-colored monster might not be able to withstand it.
However, it not only understood his words but also sensed the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from Ye Yun.
The injured blood-colored monster let out a roar, and its bloody flesh twisted wildly, its size seeming to increase.
"Hmm? What is this..."
Its massive form glowed with a blood-red light, and where there was originally a mass of flesh, a gaping maw tore open.
It was like an opened bloody mouth, and it suddenly lunged at Ye Yun.
This time, its speed was so astonishing that Ye Yun was caught off guard. By the time he reacted, his entire body was enveloped by the flesh.
Yet, the sensation was not of being swallowed, but more like...
The surrounding space distorted, and Ye Yun's vision blurred. When his sight cleared, he was stunned by his surroundings.
"This is..."
He had expected to be swallowed and then be able to break out from its belly.
But here he was, in a vast void, surrounded by grayness that seemed endless.
Could it be that he had been teleported away?
Ye Yun formed a conjecture, and just then, streaks of blood-red light appeared before him, converging towards a single point.
Finally, the red light condensed into the form of a red-haired woman.
She was clad entirely in red, with only a minimal covering that was barely more than nothing...
Even so, Ye Yun felt no lust towards her, only because of the boundless bloody aura emanating from her, and the oppressive feeling that made him uncomfortable.
"Who are you?"
The red-haired woman slowly opened her eyes, her cold and beautiful gaze fixed on Ye Yun.
She remained silent, just staring at him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Hey, where is this? Can you speak?"
It seemed his voice awakened the red-haired woman's consciousness.
Her eyes shifted, and she spoke with a chilling voice.
"This is the Profound Sea Divine Domain, an ideational space I have created."
"Divine Domain..."
Ye Yun's eyelids twitched.
The last time he heard the word "Divine Domain" was from Xiao Meng.
Hearing it again now, he couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Who exactly are you? Are you a god?"
However, the red-haired woman merely said coldly.
"It seems everything has truly passed."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yun strongly condemned her cryptic behavior.
Why couldn't she just say what she meant?
Fortunately, she then said lightly.
"You only need to know that I am the God of Profound Sea. However, I doubt you remember this name now, do you?"
Indeed, Ye Yun had never heard this title before.
But the word "God" in it indicated that the red-haired woman before him was a true deity...
Ye Yun suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.
"What is your relationship with that blood-colored monster outside?"
Hearing this, the Profound Sea Goddess's voice turned cold.
"What you saw was the aggregation of the corpses of my people and myself after our deaths."
This answer was surprisingly candid.
But the words made Ye Yun frown.
"So, you are controlling that large creature outside?"
"You can understand it that way."
Her answer was still forthright, but Ye Yun's voice deepened.
"If that's the case, do we have any enmity? Why are you manipulating that thing to trouble me for no reason?"
This time was dangerous, but the last encounter was truly a close call.
If not for the singing voice of the woman who suddenly appeared, he and his disciples might have all perished in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
The Profound Sea Goddess's voice also turned grim.
"For no reason? What a notion, 'for no reason'."
"Isn't it?"
"Heh heh kill..."
The Profound Sea Goddess let out a cold laugh, her killing intent intensifying.
"You destroyed my people, you killed me. Do you think we have no enmity?"
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yun frowned, his gaze fixed on the Profound Sea Goddess.
However, vaguely, he had a bad premonition.
Then, the Profound Sea Goddess said coldly.
"In the past, the Lord of Divine City, with a single decree, caused the annihilation of all gods throughout the land, and the extinction of billions of divine bloodlines."
"Only I, through a secret technique, managed to transform into a blood beast and survive. Do you not remember any of this?"
Her voice was extremely cold, as if Ye Yun before her was the cause of her deep-seated hatred.
No, to be precise, it was indeed a deep-seated hatred.
But Ye Yun could only frown and say.
"I truly do not remember any of this. What exactly happened?"
Of course, in his heart, he had some guesses.
But he didn't want to admit it, nor did he want it to be the truth.
Ye Yun took a deep breath and gazed at the Profound Sea Goddess.
"Can you tell me, what happened to Divine City?"
This was the matter he was most eager to understand right now.
After all, inexplicably becoming a sinner responsible for the demise of billions of beings was a burden he absolutely did not want to bear.
However, the Profound Sea Goddess had no intention of wasting more words on him.
"You wish to know everything? When you are about to die, I will make you repent!"
As her voice fell, an aura familiar yet incredibly oppressive erupted from her, one that Ye Yun recognized.
The power of a god...
Without a doubt, this ragged red-haired woman was a true ancient deity!
This was also the first time he had truly faced a god-level being. The mere pressure made the profound energy in his body move sluggishly.
In her palm, a sword shadow formed from blood energy materialized. In an instant, her figure lunged towards Ye Yun.
"This is bad..."
The speed of a god was almost beyond Ye Yun's comprehension.
The blood-colored sword shadow seemed to traverse space in an instant, aiming to decapitate him.
But at this critical juncture, the void in front of Ye Yun was torn open, and a slender, fair leg stepped out first...
