Qian Renxue stared intently at the immobilized Lucifer, her mind a jumble of questions.
For some reason, in this extremely tense atmosphere, she suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
This aura was faint, as if hidden in some corner of her memory, yet impossible to pinpoint precisely.
"Where have I felt this aura before?"
Qian Renxue frantically pondered, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Her gaze darted back and forth across Lucifer, trying to find clues in his face and body contorted with pain and rage.
At this moment, Bibi Dong, supported by Qian Renxue, also managed to stand.
She looked at Lucifer with equal confusion and said, "This turn of events is too strange.
Could someone have secretly intervened? But why at this time…?"
"Damn it, damn it… how could you still resist?"
Lucifer muttered through gritted teeth, his once confident and all-controlling face now completely distorted by anger and resentment.
His eyes seemed to burn with two black flames, glaring fiercely at the surrounding crowd.
Yet, his body was still struggling against the mysterious power, unable to completely break free of its restraints.
Bibi Dong, initially filled with doubt, was taken aback by Lucifer's words. She keenly sensed the anomaly in Lucifer's words, and a thought flashed through her mind.
She gradually realized that this wasn't due to external assistance, but rather a problem with Lucifer himself.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind—could it be…?
A look of wild joy instantly appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. Could it be Qian Renshang?
At this moment, within Lucifer's sea of consciousness, there was only chaotic darkness, with only the dark chains, shimmering with an eerie light, once ruling this space.
However, Qian Renshang, who had been bound by the dark chains, had somehow broken free of his restraints.
He stood tall and straight, silently hovering in the darkness, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Lucifer.
His voice was calm yet carried an undeniable power as he slowly said,
"It's time to end this farce."
Lucifer, who had been fighting against the crowd outside, sensed the changes within his spiritual sea and burst into a furious and arrogant laugh.
He turned to Qian Renshang, his eyes filled with disdain,
"Qian Renshang, stop pretending! We both know the situation; I still have the upper hand! Those fools outside, none of them will leave here alive today!"
Qian Renshang frowned slightly, his gaze sharp as he coldly stared at Lucifer.
"You think you can act recklessly with your meager power? Everything you've done is nothing but digging your own grave."
Lucifer scoffed. "Digging your own grave?
I think you haven't grasped reality! I come from that dark abyss, merging with countless dark forces.
I am no longer someone you can contend with.
Even if you break free of these dark chains, so what? It's just a death throes!"
Qian Renshang replied indifferently.
"Oh, is that so?"
His tone was nonchalant, as if Lucifer's madness and resolve were nothing more than childish rambling.
Lucifer was about to continue venting his fury when he suddenly sensed something amiss.
He was horrified to discover that the dark power he was so proud of, which he could control at will, was now like a wild horse, gradually slipping out of his control.
