He looked up, carefully observing the blurry figure in the void.
He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from that blurry figure.
This was an existence so powerful it struck fear into the heart, as if it could easily crush any demigod.
This was a powerful quasi-king level expert!
In the Demon Abyss, a quasi-god level demon expert had actually been born?
This scene was truly astounding.
"Does my lord's arrival have any instructions?" the demon giant asked.
"I need to devour your essence to recover my strength!" the blurry figure in the void slowly spoke, its voice hoarse, carrying a hint of a sinister smile. "You are the hope of the demon race. By devouring you, this emperor can step back into the God-man realm."
"Roar!"
Upon hearing this, the demon giant became instantly excited, its eyes gleaming.
It stared at Zhou Yan and Diao Chan, drooling, wishing it could devour them immediately.
"Boom~"
The demon giant stomped on the ground, its massive body charging rapidly towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's expression turned grim. He clenched his fist, unleashed the "Yin-Yang Creation Art," and smashed it towards the demon giant.
With a "bang," the demon giant's fist collided with Zhou Yan's, scattering sparks in an instant.
Zhou Yan's body trembled slightly, retreating several steps, his chest in searing pain.
With mere physical strength, Zhou Yan was actually unable to contend with this demon giant.
"This demon giant's physique is more powerful than that of an ordinary Marquis. I am no match for it!" Zhou Yan's face was grim, and he felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.
He could sense the sky-shattering malevolent energy contained within the demon giant's body, filled with violent bloodlust. It was likely that it had slaughtered countless beings to generate such potent resentment.
At this moment, Zhou Yan understood why they had encountered so many demon experts upon entering.
This was a battlefield!
Zhou Yan and Diao Chan exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock.
Here, any one demon expert could likely far surpass them, let alone the many demigod and true god level demon experts.
If they were surrounded by these demon experts, they would be in grave danger.
"Roar~"
At this moment, the demon giant roared and lunged at Zhou Yan again.
"Boom~"
The demon giant swung its fists, striking Zhou Yan heavily, the sound a muffled thud.
With a "hiss," Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he was completely unharmed.
Although the demon giant's strength was formidable, Zhou Yan's physical defense was even stronger.
This time, the demon giant also realized that its strength could not harm Zhou Yan at all.
It turned and fled rapidly.
Zhou Yan watched the demon giant depart coldly, making no move to pursue.
After all, he was not a demon, and this was the demon race's territory. If they were ambushed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Swish~"
Soon, Zhou Yan and Diao Chan disappeared from the area.
...
On the other side.
Diao Chan was resting in the grass.
She was beautiful and alluring, with fair skin that seemed to be breakable with a touch, and her raven-black hair cascaded down to her waist.
She was a peerless beauty, exuding captivating charm even in her sleep.
Suddenly, Diao Chan's eyes snapped open, her senses on high alert.
A faint dark light shot from the corner of her eye.
Diao Chan stood up, her gaze fixed and vigilant as she scanned her surroundings.
In her line of sight, on an ancient tree not far away, a black insect appeared.
"Buzz..."
The insect was entirely black, emitting a cold, dark glow. A faint mist emanated from its body, as if capable of obscuring heavenly secrets.
"Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider!"
Diao Chan's pretty face turned pale, and she let out a low cry.
She never expected to encounter a Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider here!
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
The Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's tendrils twitched and shot out like lightning, piercing the void like blades, attacking Diao Chan.
Diao Chan reacted with incredible speed, dodging to the side.
"Whoosh~"
Almost simultaneously, she reached out and a dagger materialized in her hand. She swung it out in a sharp arc.
"Clang~"
With a crisp sound, the dagger slashed against the Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's tendril.
The Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's tendril was incredibly tough, blocking the dagger and then whipping back, sweeping Diao Chan's delicate body away. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider leaped forward, shooting like an arrow towards Diao Chan.
Diao Chan's expression changed drastically. A metallic trembling sound emanated from her body, and armor enveloped her, blocking the Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's attack.
At this moment, Diao Chan's entire body exuded a metallic texture.
This was a suit of armor forged from fine steel, capable of mitigating all physical damage.
This armor was originally refined by Zhou Yan and given to Diao Chan for self-defense.
"Clang~"
The Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's tendril struck the armor fiercely, spitting out sparks, but it could not tear through the armor.
Not only that, but the armor on Diao Chan's body also emitted a brilliant radiance, which actually repelled the Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider's assault.
"Hmph!"
"Tricks of a petty craftsman!"
A cold smile played on Diao Chan's lips. She activated her martial core, and instantly, a crystal clear bead shot out, hovering before her.
Runes swirled around the bead, emitting a scorching golden light that made Diao Chan appear as if she were cast in gold, dazzling and magnificent.
"Crack—"
This bead instantly unleashed immense radiance, shattering the void and engulfing an area of a thousand meters.
Those demon experts, before they could even approach within three feet of Diao Chan, screamed and their bodies were burned to ashes.
"Let's go!" Diao Chan shouted and pulled Zhou Yan, fleeing rapidly.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The demon experts were terrified at this moment and fled in a frenzy.
Their corpses piled up like mountains.
Zhou Yan and Diao Chan quickly left the area.
This was a desolate land. Apart from countless demon corpses spread across the plains, the rest of the land was barren and each inch was a battleground.
Here, Zhou Yan and Diao Chan encountered countless demons, but none were enough to threaten them.
This desolate region contained many demon experts, all of them lower-tier demons with weak strength, at most equivalent to the Innate Martial Sovereign level.
Not long after, Zhou Yan and Diao Chan finally found a cave.
It was a tall, steep mountain peak with a flat summit. A large rock sat there, hidden in the shadow of a towering ancient tree.
This large rock was covered in moss and crisscrossed with dense cracks, appearing as if it could collapse at any moment.
"Husband, this looks like a tomb," Diao Chan said softly.
"Mm," Zhou Yan nodded.
This ruin had been sealed for many years and was now dilapidated, bearing the traces of immense age. However, one could still glimpse the prosperity of its past.
This was the tomb of a powerful demon.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
The Soul Devouring Poisonous Spider crawled over, landed on Zhou Yan's shoulder, and let out a strange, shrill cry.
Zhou Yan glanced at it and sneered, "You want to follow me?"
