I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Gu Heng felt his hands were slightly hot, and the blood-red calluses trembled slightly in his hands, as if he were extremely excited.

What just happened?

He was stunned for a moment, feeling as if the blood cocoon was telling him with its slowly rising temperature that it was very happy. Upon closer inspection, a strange emotion welled up in Gu Heng's heart.

That Nightmare was quite arrogant just now, but it wasn't wrong for him to be arrogant, since Gu Heng really had no other options.

The sound waves from the Law God's Bell couldn't kill it, only suppress it, which led to a stalemate. If he let go, Youyan could escape; if he didn't, as Youyan said, unless the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint went out to call for help to find a way out, he would be trapped here with it.

But suddenly it stopped being wild and became very scared.

It was afraid of the blood cocoon that Su Jinxi had transformed into.

As for the Blood Cocoon suddenly bursting up and being killed by the Nightmare, it really startled Gu Heng. He had no idea that this thing had such terrifying power!

The "divine offspring" that Wenming Town could not defeat was thus killed by the blood cocoon.

"Jinxi, can you hear me?"

Gu Heng hesitated for a long time before speaking.

The blood-red cocoon trembled in Gu Heng's hand, as if expressing joy.

Gu Heng paused for a moment. Was this saying "can you hear me"?

Before long, the blood cocoon stopped trembling and floated quietly on Gu Heng's palm.

The blood color faded slightly, returning it to its original semi-transparent state, and the indescribable heat also diminished somewhat.

What were those blood spots after the Nightmare exploded?

Could it be divine blood?

Not sure.

"Are you OK?"

He looked down at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint.

"what?"

The fur ball suddenly stopped trembling, slowly raised its head, and stared blankly at the empty center of the cave with its six cat eyes.

That vast, desolate abyss that once inspired despair has vanished without a trace, leaving no trace of filth. Only the broken and dim array runes around it testify to the terrifying existence that was once suppressed here.

It glanced again at the simple, unadorned silver bell in Gu Heng's hand, and then at Gu Heng's calm and composed face.

"You've taken care of the Nightmare?!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint jumped up suddenly and circled around Gu Heng.

"It's solved."

He retrieved the Divine Bell of Law into the Eternal Crystal Sphere, and reattached the Blood Cocoon to his back.

"It really was you! I knew you'd have a solution! My help wasn't in vain!"

It beamed and couldn't resist nuzzling against Gu Heng's leg, trying its best to please him.

Then Gu Heng kicked the cat on the head.

"Don't get so close."

He was used to being rubbed by Su Jinxi, who was fragrant, soft, and beautiful. Now, being rubbed by a three-headed, gray-black furball made him feel like he had hit rock bottom.

But then again, what bad intentions could a cat possibly have?

"It's your turn to keep your promise; take me to Jinglong Lake."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint nodded vigorously with his three heads: "Yes, yes, yes, we'll lead the way right away!"

It looked around and confirmed that there was no resentment or filth left. It felt that everything had been cleansed by the sound of the bell. This place might become a good place for quiet cultivation in the future.

Of course, this is no longer relevant to it.

Goodbye, cage!

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint knew that he had finally received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Regardless of who this person is, that Nightmare was a monster that even several great demon saints of the alliance could only seal away back then, but he eliminated it so easily!

At this moment, in its eyes, Gu Heng was already an unfathomable giant with a sky-high background. He could casually take out a cultural treasure and use it so easily. Even if all the great demon saints in the demon clan alliance squeezed their life essence dry, they would never be able to catch up with this strength and foundation!

Although this is a human, whether it is human or not doesn't matter much.

If you're strong enough, whatever you say is right.

Thinking of this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint felt his fur smooth down, his spirits lifted, and he eagerly led the way.

Leaving the Silent Bone Abyss went smoothly. Without the Nightmare, the remaining evil energy in the valley became rootless duckweed, and under the influence of the lingering sound of the Divine Bell, it was also quickly dissipating.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint found a hidden ancient teleportation array with practiced ease; it was one of the backup plans left behind when the seal was set up.

The ancient formation was activated, and a flash of light appeared.

Gu Heng felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in yet another unfamiliar world.

He's almost come to like the feeling of being teleported.

Where is this?

He was in a swamp shrouded in a colorful miasma.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint immediately explained, "This is the Swallowing Cloud Marsh. If you go north from here and cross the Half-Moon Rock Vein, you will reach the Mirage Moon Sea."

"Once you reach Mirage Sea, Jinglong Lake will not be far away."

"How long will it take?"

"If we travel at our own pace and go all out, it should take about half a day."

"The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint estimated."

Gu Heng nodded: "Then let's hurry up and become my mount. You shouldn't be too opposed to that, right?"

Absolutely not!

Being a mount for a big shot is incredibly prestigious!

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint was also full of energy at this moment. Its body rapidly expanded, and it was now three zhang wide and tall!

Gu Heng didn't stand on ceremony and confidently rode on the cat's back.

Then he experienced incredible speed.

Speechless all the way.

The Swallowing Cloud Marsh is vast, stretching as far as the eye can see. As for the colorful miasma, it is highly poisonous, but it poses no threat to the two of them.

As for the countless insects, beasts, and poisonous creatures that inhabit this place, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint can force the poisonous insects within a thousand miles to lie dormant and the ferocious beasts to flee far away with just a slight threat, allowing him to travel unimpeded.

After passing through the Swallowing Clouds Marsh, the landscape suddenly changed.

Before me stretched an endless mountain range composed of countless gigantic, grayish-white rocks. The strangely shaped rocks soared into the clouds, intersecting to form a complex network of canyons and caves.

The strangest thing is that the space here seems rather unstable.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint's six cat eyes each shone with a different light, clearly indicating that he was using some kind of sophisticated demonic magic to see through illusions and make himself see the road ahead.

After traveling through this crescent-shaped rock vein for about the same amount of time...

They stood atop a towering rocky peak.

"That's the Mirage Sea?"

Gu Heng looked slightly surprised.

"That's right. You probably haven't been here before. This is what the Mirage Sea looks like."

There was no land ahead of them. The end of the Crescent Moon Ridge seemed to be the edge of the territory of some demon civilization. No wonder there was a problem with spatial distortion. This was considered a natural disaster by various civilizations throughout the myriad worlds and was commonplace.

Instead, there is a vast, boundless, and bizarre sea of ​​stars.

It is not a true ocean, but a tiny part of the vast starry sky, a star field whose extent is immeasurable.

Looking out, the field of vision is filled with "mist" that shimmers with a pale purple and silvery-gray luster. It is stardust condensed into star haze, within which float countless fragments of landmasses of different sizes and shapes, star debris, and even some indescribable, enormous deformities.

Chaotic, desolate, yet possessing a deathly beauty reminiscent of ruins.

Civilizations do not border each other. There are vast areas in the starry sky where civilizations have difficulty extending their order, nor do they want to. These areas usually become the hiding places and strongholds of those who are abandoned by civilizations and the most vicious and ruthless.

The Demon Race Civilization Alliance is essentially a union of seventeen civilizations, but although their respective territories are close, they are not completely contiguous, and there are bound to be large star fields between their territories.

The Mirage Sea must have originated from this.

"I have never been here."

Gu Heng shrugged.

He should have thought of that sooner.
