Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

With a heart full of resentment and killing intent, True Man Chiyang retreated, and Meteor Cliff temporarily returned to its deathly silence, with only the ceaseless energy storms of the Chaos Sea roaring and howling.

Shen Mo and his companions dared not linger for a moment. They suppressed their injuries, took some pills, and, using the complex terrain of the cliff as cover, sped toward the abandoned medicine garden marked on the map, which might contain fragments of the "Boundary Compass".

Along the way, spatial rifts appeared and disappeared like ghosts, violent energy turbulence swept everything, and various secret realm monsters, corrupted by chaotic energy and turned into bloodthirsty and violent creatures, lurked and launched sneak attacks.

The four were on high alert. Shen Mo relied on his Flowing Cloud Dao Body to subtly perceive the environment and receive early warnings from the system. Shi Tie used brute force to clear the way, Su Xiao used his divine sense to probe and avoid obstacles, and Zhao Qingyan continuously set up simple warning and confusion arrays as they struggled forward.

"Sect Leader, your injuries..." Su Xiao looked at Shen Mo's increasingly pale face and his trembling figure as he struggled to stay upright, her heart filled with worry. Having just clashed with Master Chixiao and forcibly activated his movement technique, Shen Mo's internal injuries had clearly worsened.

"It's alright... I can still hold on." Shen Mo gritted his teeth, swallowing the metallic taste rising in his throat. His sharp gaze swept across the colorful energy vortex ahead, which exuded a strange suction force. "We should be there soon once we get through this 'mystical vortex of light.' Everyone be careful, the space here is extremely fragile."

However, just as they were cautiously about to pass through the most dangerous area of ​​the vortex of light—

"Thump!!!!!!!!!"

A deep, muffled roar, indescribable and seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Netherworld, suddenly came from the very core of the Chaos Sea—the "Eye of Chaos"!

This deafening roar far surpassed any previous anomaly; it was as if the entire world was wailing! The sound did not travel through the air, but acted directly on the soul!

Shen Mo and the other three were struck as if by a heavy blow, all letting out muffled groans, their minds wracked with pain, and blood seeping from their ears and noses! Even the Chi Yang Zhenren and his group, who had just retreated dozens of miles away, trembled violently and turned back in horror!

Immediately afterwards, the entire Chaos Sea boiled over!

The sky was no longer a distorted band of light, but was dyed a chilling dark red!

The earth trembled violently, and countless enormous cracks spread out like a spider web, spewing out foul demonic energy! The "Chaos Source Eye" vortex of light, which had been slowly rotating and exuding a brilliant Dao aura, suddenly split open at its center with a huge, pitch-black crack!

An indescribable, ancient, chaotic, and tyrannical will, filled with endless destructive desires, erupted from the crack like a raging torrent, sweeping across the heavens and earth!

"Awooo—!!!"

A roar that seemed to tear apart the soul resounded from the depths of the rift! Immediately afterward, a gigantic claw, covered in dark red scales, as large as a mountain, and wreathed in pitch-black demonic energy, suddenly emerged from the rift and fiercely gripped the edge of the vortex!

Wherever the giant claw passed, space shattered like glass! The unimaginable pressure caused all living beings within a hundred miles, including Shen Mo and his group, as well as True Person Chiyang and his party, to feel their souls freeze and their spiritual energy stagnate, almost causing them to kneel down!

"What...what is that?!" Shi Tie's eyes widened in horror as he stared at the terrifying being slowly emerging from the vortex, emanating an aura that sent chills down his spine. His voice trembled with an unprecedented intensity. It was a fear born from an innate, primal instinct!

Su Xiao and Zhao Qingyan paled, their delicate bodies swaying precariously. Under that overwhelming demonic power, they even found it difficult to stand.

Shen Mo stared intently at the enormous, demon-like figure that gradually emerged from the crack, his heart pounding, the system's piercing alarm exploding in his mind:

[WARNING! WARNING! Awakening of an ultra-high energy level life form detected! Energy level: Peak Golden Core (suspected damaged state)! Attribute: Chaotic Demonic Nature! Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous!]

[Analysis: The target is an ancient sealed artifact. Its awakening was caused by the spatial tremors triggered by the appearance of the "Boundary Stone," which loosened the seal. It exhibits indiscriminate attack tendencies!]

[Advice: Stay away immediately! Stay away immediately!]

An ancient demon! A peak Golden Core cultivator! Shen Mo gasped, his whole body turning ice-cold! He finally understood the meaning behind Ancestor Liuyun's message about the loosening of the seal on the "Chaos Source Eye" and the impending calamity! This was no ordinary opportunity, but a catastrophe capable of destroying the entire secret realm!

"Run!" Shen Mo roared hoarsely, using all his strength to pull up Su Xiao and Zhao Qingyan, who were almost crushed by the demonic power, and tried to escape into the distance. Shi Tie also reacted, roared angrily, and his blood and qi erupted, forcibly resisting the pressure, and followed closely behind.

However, it was too late!

The monster that crawled out of the seal seemed to be a terrifying being that resembled a giant ape, but had three heads and six arms, covered in dark red scales, and had a vertical eye between its eyebrows.

Its six eyes on its three heads opened simultaneously, shooting out a cruel, chaotic, and hungry blood light, instantly locking onto two groups of "snacks" not too far away from it—Shen Mo and his group of four, as well as the group of True Man Chiyang who were also trying to escape to the other side!

"Ants...blood food..." A vague yet soul-piercing thought wave came through, filled with greed and destructive desire.

"roar!"

The demon's central head suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a dark red breath that stretched across the sky! Wherever the breath passed, space was annihilated and everything withered. The speed was unbelievable, and it simultaneously enveloped a large area where Shen Mo and his four companions and the five members of the Crimson Sun Immortal were located!

"not good!"

"Be careful, real people!"

Both sides cried out in alarm almost simultaneously! Faced with this devastating attack, all grudges and schemes seemed pale and powerless at this moment! The instinct for survival overwhelmed everything!

"Flowing Cloud Wall!" Without a second thought, Shen Mo frantically burned his essence blood, pushing his Flowing Cloud Dao Body to its limit. He formed hand seals, drawing upon the chaotic spiritual energy around him to create layers upon layers of ever-changing azure cloud walls above the four people's heads! This was the strongest defensive divine power he could currently unleash!

"Blazing Sun Protection!" On the other side, True Man Chiyang's expression also changed drastically. He could no longer care about anything else. With a wave of his sleeve, a golden light shield, as solid as a tangible substance and radiating the aura of a blazing sun, instantly unfolded, protecting the five of them within it! The cultivation level of a Golden Core True Man was on full display!

Rumble—!!!

The crimson breath slammed into the azure cloud wall and the golden light shield! A terrifying explosion resounded through the sky! The cloud wall set up by Shen Mo shattered in less than a breath, and the four people were blasted away like kites with broken strings, spitting out blood and crashing heavily onto the broken rocks, suffering serious injuries!

If it weren't for the mysterious Flowing Cloud Wall that deflected most of the impact, this attack would have been enough to annihilate them both physically and mentally!

The golden light shield set up by True Immortal Chiyang also shook violently, its light dimmed, and cracks appeared on its surface. Two disciples in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage behind him were directly seriously injured and fell into a coma. Immortal Chixiao also had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face full of horror!

Only True Immortal Chiyang managed to stabilize himself with his Golden Core cultivation, but his face paled and his eyes were filled with shock and solemnity!

This monster's casual strike was terrifying!
