In an instant, Zhou Yan, Diao Chan, Ye Xun, and Zhen Mi stepped on the void, giving chase.
The cloaked figure ran swiftly, and before long, he entered a cave.
Zhou Yan and the others followed him in. Upon entering the cave, they were stunned.
"What is this..." Zhou Yan's eyes widened.
Inside the cave, an altar stood tall, and in the center of the altar was a massive stone tablet.
The surface of the stone tablet was covered with intricate patterns, resembling obscure and profound symbols.
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, the stone tablet vibrated, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the cave.
Following this, a surging suction force burst forth from the stone tablet, enveloping Zhou Yan and the other two.
"Riiip—"
In the next moment, with a flash of light, Zhou Yan and the other two were directly pulled into the stone tablet.
This was a spatial tunnel. The scenery before Zhou Yan and the others changed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in a peculiar world.
Zhou Yan and the four stood in this unfamiliar world, their gazes sweeping across their surroundings.
Here, there was chaos, filled with endless demonic mist and surging, dense black smoke.
In the sky, a black sun hung, emitting a terrifying pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
Moreover, that black sun contained powerful destructive fluctuations.
"What kind of hellish place is this?" Diao Chan's face turned pale, her body trembling. The environment here was too oppressive.
"This... this is the Underworld?"
Zhou Yan's gaze deepened, and he murmured, "This demonic monument actually connected to another dimension and transported us to the Underworld!"
A trace of shock flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.
The Underworld was a broken world, inhabited by numerous demons.
In the ancient era, demons had once ruled this world and even wreaked havoc.
But one day, during an internal conflict among the demons, the gods took advantage of the chaos, leading to their ultimate demise.
This stone tablet was the legacy left by the demons, containing wisps of demonic energy that could seal any cultivator.
However, this demonic monument was not omnipotent.
For instance, Zhou Yan could use its power to travel from the first heaven to the second heaven.
The spatial rifts within were constructed from numerous teleportation channels leading to the second heaven.
"We're quite lucky to have stumbled upon a spatial passage."
Zhou Yan looked up, gazing at the black sun above. "According to my deduction, this should be a teleportation array that can lead to the second heaven."
As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped into the spatial passage.
"Whoosh~"
As soon as he stepped in, an invisible force enveloped his body.
In the next moment, Zhou Yan's vision blurred. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing on a vast snowfield.
"So cold!"
Zhou Yan shivered.
Looking around, he saw an endless expanse of snow before him, with pure white snow covering the entire land.
The sky was dim, with large snowflakes falling. A biting wind blew, whipping the dancing snowflakes, its mournful sound like weeping.
"It's so cold..."
Diao Chan hugged her arms tightly, her delicate body curled up in Zhou Yan's embrace. "Husband, where is this? Why does it feel like a graveyard to me?"
"A graveyard?" Zhou Yan was startled. "This is a burial ground?"
He scanned his surroundings and found that apart from the boundless ice and snow, there was only a statue hundreds of feet tall, standing solitary.
The statue was indistinct, but it exuded a strong demonic aura, revealing a profound and unfathomable presence.
This statue was none other than the legendary Demonic Abyss, the last refuge of the demon race.
"The demon race once dominated the Barbarian Continent for a period. Although they were eventually defeated, the demon race still had enough strength to linger on," Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
"Why would the corpses of these demons appear here?" Zhou Yan was perplexed.
"Rumble~"
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently, shaking earth and mountains.
Following this, huge fissures appeared, as if a peerless ferocious beast was about to awaken.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, the entire ground shattered.
A dark figure slowly crawled up.
"Roar!"
It was a giant, fully five meters tall, clad in black armor, with scarlet eyes and saliva dripping from its mouth, appearing exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
"Boom!"
The giant roared and swung a punch towards Zhou Yan and the other two.
This punch was like a falling meteorite, its mighty shockwave sweeping in all directions, making the entire world tremble.
What a powerful strike! If hit, it would be unbearable!
"Bang—"
However, at this moment, Zhou Yan extended his right palm and caught the punch.
Instantly, a surge of powerful energy rushed into Zhou Yan's body, being refined and absorbed.
Zhou Yan grunted and stumbled back a few steps.
"Oh?"
Zhou Yan exclaimed in surprise, "This demonic energy can temper my physical body, making it stronger and more adaptable to the harsh environment of the demon realm."
"Roar~"
The demonic giant roared and lunged forward again.
One person and one demon engaged in a fierce battle.
The demonic giant was not weak, and its physical body was extremely strong. However, Zhou Yan's combat power was equally formidable.
After merging with the Dragon Emperor's bloodline, Zhou Yan's physical strength was comparable to that of a true god!
"Roar~" The demonic giant became more enraged as the fight progressed, constantly attacking Zhou Yan.
However, Zhou Yan's defense was simply unbreakable by the demonic giant.
After dozens of clashes, the demonic giant finally stopped attacking and tilted its head back, roaring.
"Roar~"
A strange sonic wave spread out, rippling outwards like ripples.
In an instant, it covered the entire demon territory, attracting many powerful demons.
"Hmm? The demons are making a move again?"
Zhou Yan frowned and looked around.
He saw groups of powerful demons appearing from all directions, all heading towards the demonic giant.
Zhou Yan's expression changed, and he quickly suggested, "Let's go! We should leave here first."
"Okay." Diao Chan nodded.
She understood the urgency and, without hesitation, quickly left with Zhou Yan.
"Rumble~"
After Zhou Yan left, the demonic giant's body suddenly swelled, its clothes bursting open to reveal a crimson robe.
On that robe, countless complex demonic patterns were drawn, outlining various mysterious symbols, exuding a faint, sinister, and evil aura.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the giant let out a sky-shattering roar, spitting out rolling thunder.
Under this earth-shattering roar, the surrounding ground cracked, and blood mist sprayed out.
Streams of terrifying auras rose, converging in mid-air, gradually forming a vague human-like figure.
This figure seemed to have a human appearance, but its entire body was covered in black scales, and it had six wings on its back, looking quite peculiar. Great Wind Novel Network.
"My Lord!"
The demonic giant knelt on the ground and called out respectfully.
"My Lord?"
Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat.
