System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Void Breaking Platform

The inky void was like a frozen pool, with only the distant, broken array flowing with dark gold patterns, like lonely stars in a cold night.

Chen Xuan, accompanied by Xia Jiuyou, followed closely behind Luan Yu and Xuan Mo. Their toes touched the pale blue light bridge formed in the void, which was the best position to observe the remaining array of the Void Immortal Bone. Unfortunately, the four key nodes had already been occupied by the spiritual light of the four holy lands of the Demon Realm, like four fortresses suppressing the void.

The moment the two appeared, two wary gazes shot towards them like sharp swords.

The man on the left, wielding a giant axe, had muscles that bulged like coiled dragons, every inch of which bulged with explosive power. His dark red skin was covered with shimmering scales, as if it were made of millennia-old black iron. Just by standing there, he exuded an aura of earth-shattering power.

The girl in the pink dress on the right was the complete opposite. Her face was so charming that it could melt hearts. When her skirt fluttered, it scattered tiny pink lights. Her eyes seemed to have a captivating magic, but the coldness deep in her eyes revealed her deep resentment towards the human intruder.

Chen Xuan glanced at it casually before turning his gaze to the distant array, his expression as calm as still water.

Seeing this, Luan Yu and Xuan Mo exchanged a smile, and light blue sound transmission patterns condensed at their fingertips, which were quietly sent into Chen Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The one wielding the axe is a descendant of the Undying Ancestral Mountain, whose martial arts skills are unparalleled in the Demon Realm; as for that one, she is the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Hearts Valley, whose 'Soul-Capturing Charm' is impossible to defend against—this woman is not to be trifled with." Xuan Mo's voice transmission carried a hint of teasing, clearly indicating that he had suffered quite a few hidden losses in the past.

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the spiritual light imprints on the locations of the Nine Saints Heavenly Demon Palace and the Demon Emperor's Palace. His figure suddenly transformed into a pale golden stream of light, flying straight towards the Nine Saints Heavenly Demon Palace, leaving only a barely perceptible trace of wind as he broke through the air.

After the two figures disappeared into the distance, the giant axe-wielding man's voice transmission rolled across the void like muffled thunder, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to ripple in fine waves:

"This location is the result of years of painstaking research! How could you so easily lure in outsiders? Have you forgotten the betrayal and defection of the human race during the ancient times?" He gripped his giant axe tightly, the blade humming and glowing with a dark red spiritual light, clearly enraged.

The pink-clad girl didn't echo him; instead, she lightly twirled a strand of hair with her slender hand, watching Chen Xuan's departing figure with a soft smile, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

"An interesting lad... He can remain unmoved even when faced with my innate charm. Such a Dao heart is not to be underestimated."

Her skirt swirled gently, the pink light subtly concealing both her amazement and wariness.

After Luan Yu and Xuan Mo patiently persuaded them, explaining that Chen Xuan's array formation skills far surpassed those of his peers and that breaking the array required his help, the four parties temporarily put aside their differences and tacitly allowed Chen Xuan and Xia Jiuyou to join the demon realm's array-breaking camp.

Upon arriving at the Nine Saints Heavenly Demon Palace's encampment, the outer disciples, seeing strangers intruding, immediately stepped forward with spears to rebuke and stop them, the spear tips gleaming with a cold light formed from demonic energy.

Luan Yu, however, remained calm and waved her hand.

With a whoosh, the five black dots grew larger in the wind; they were the five beings she had previously collected: the python, the spirit snake, the blue phoenix, and the qilin. Five powerful auras appeared and immediately rushed towards Chen Xuan and his companion.

"Do not be presumptuous! This is an honored guest of our clan!"

"This way, fellow Daoists."

The python and the dragon immediately and respectfully guided Chen Xuan and the other two to fly towards the sect's headquarters.

Upon seeing this, the other disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Palace immediately fell silent, each one bowing their heads and holding their breath—they had almost caused trouble.

"It seems this young man is the one who forced the Holy Maiden to come to her aid before; he must be quite strong."

"Yes, among the human race, those who are treated like this by the senior sister must be extremely powerful."

Led by the five members of the Python Clan, the disciples of the Nine Saints Heavenly Demon Palace stepped aside to make way, their eyes filled with awe.

Chen Xuan carried Xia Jiuyou and flew slowly, landing directly on the slowly rotating jade platform in the center of the void.
