"Demon King Husky!"
When they saw the figure shoot out from the earth-yellow pillar of light, everyone present cried out in alarm. The hearts they had just set at ease were once again gripped with tension.
That’s right. The one who had appeared before them was none other than the Demon King Husky. However, his current state was a bit wretched—no, it would be more accurate to say he was utterly miserable!
The current Demon King Husky barely had an intact spot on his body. He was supporting himself on his right leg alone, his left leg completely severed from the knee down, exposing stark white bone. Not only that, but his left arm was also gone, torn off right from his chest. One could even see the organs inside his thoracic cavity. Dark blood gushed out endlessly as if it were free. His face was in a similar state, with the pale white of his skull exposed and pieces of shredded flesh still dangling from his body. The sight was absolutely horrifying.
The expression on the Demon King’s face was currently impossible to discern, but his violently trembling body showed that he was in an extremely unstable state of mind. The constant pain wracking his body made his pupils turn crimson. ’If not for the incredibly tenacious Life Force of my Demon King clan, I probably would have been ground to dust the moment I fell!’
The Demon King’s chest heaved violently. The muscles on his body writhed continuously, and his wounds were actually healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Damn humans, you actually thought you could drag me down with you? How naive. Once I recover, I will definitely devour the entire Human Race!" The Demon King Husky looked back at the earth-yellow pillar of light with lingering fear, then turned his gaze to the surviving Martial Artists, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.
"Dammit, is this guy a cockroach? Even this couldn’t kill him!" Jian Wushuang cursed under his breath as he watched the slowly recovering Demon King Husky, his brow deeply furrowed. ’Although he’s severely injured, we’re not in much better shape. With our current strength, we’re still no match for the Demon King Husky. If we give him a chance to get our blood, his injuries might recover even faster. Then, we’ll all be dead for sure!’
"While his injuries haven’t recovered, let’s leave this place first. We’ll report this to the Secret Realm Guardian. He will take action!" Xue Shitian said in a low voice. With that, he led Ling Feng and Xu Lin, the only remaining members of the Celestial Spirit Sect, and hurried toward the exit of the Secret Realm.
Even without Xue Shitian’s reminder, the others had the same idea. After he left, they too began to rush out of the Secret Realm one after another. Xu Hao directly knocked Murong Wanqing unconscious and carried her out.
"Run. You won’t escape the palm of my hand!" The Demon King Husky sneered as he watched the Martial Artists leave. He then closed his eyes and began to recover from his injuries...
Meanwhile, in the deep pit, an unknown amount of time passed before Shen Haoran was awakened by the pain wracking his body. The crushing pressure from all sides made his face twist in agony.
Shen Haoran took a sharp breath and struggled to open his eyes. When he saw that he was in an ocean of earth-yellow Spiritual Power, his clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat as he stared at the violent Spiritual Power particles swirling around him.
"Shen the kid, you’re finally awake!" Just as Shen Haoran was feeling his blood run cold, an extremely familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Elder Yan!" Shen Haoran cried out in pleasant surprise. He was all too familiar with this voice; it was Elder Yan, who had been dormant for a long time. Only then did Shen Haoran realize that a powerful barrier of Spiritual Thought surrounded him, blocking the violent Spiritual Power particles. It was this barrier that was protecting him from being eroded by the surrounding rampaging Spiritual Power.
"It’s been a while, and you’ve gotten even crazier, kid! You dared to jump into a place like this? This Earth Spirit Profound Nether is not the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian from before. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian was so gentle because I had once gone through the Refinement process with it. But this Earth Spirit Profound Nether is masterless. It will view anything within a ten-li radius as a threat and destroy it with brute force. You really don’t value your life!" Elder Yan scolded Shen Haoran in his mind.
Hearing this, Shen Haoran gave an awkward smile. The situation had been too critical at the time. He hadn’t thought too much about it and had just dragged the Demon King down with him. He just wondered how the Demon King was doing now.
"Elder Yan, when did you wake up?" Shen Haoran directly changed the subject, even ignoring the danger around them.
"A while ago, I felt a powerful surge of Energy while I was dormant, which allowed my consciousness to slowly recover. It wasn’t until today that I finished the Refinement of that immense Energy. If I had woken up a few seconds later, there probably wouldn’t even be a scrap of you left!" Elder Yan said, rolling his eyes at Shen Haoran in his mind.
Hearing Elder Yan’s words, Shen Haoran nodded. According to what Elder Yan said, it must have been the Energy he absorbed in the Divine Martial Blood Pool that had helped him.
"But it’s been a while, and you’ve grown quite a bit. You actually found a second type of Heaven and Earth Spirit, and your Spiritual Thought has even reached the level of a Sixth Grade Alchemist. Not bad!" Elder Yan praised.
Hearing this, Shen Haoran scratched his head in embarrassment. Elder Yan hadn’t been around during this time, so he had achieved all this entirely through his own strength. And indeed, his growth during this period had been immense.
"Alright, don’t get too happy just yet. Let’s solve the problem at hand. The pressure around us is getting stronger and stronger. I estimate I can’t hold on for much longer!" Elder Yan’s tone shifted, becoming grave. The Earth Spirit Profound Nether possessed Spiritual Wisdom and was now applying pressure on Shen Haoran, trying to destroy him.
"What should we do?" Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed as well. Although Elder Yan’s Spiritual Thought was protecting him, he could still feel a bone-piercing pain.
"Since we’re already in here, the natural course of action is to find the Earth Spirit Profound Nether’s main body and complete its Refinement!" Elder Yan said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the yellow ocean of Spiritual Power.
Hearing this, a fiery look flashed in Shen Haoran’s eyes. He had been searching so long precisely to obtain this second Power of Heaven and Earth. He felt a surge of excitement, but as he gazed out at the boundless ocean of earth-yellow Spiritual Power, his brow furrowed tightly. This place was filled with Earth Attribute Spiritual Power, making it nearly impossible to find the Earth Spirit Profound Nether.
’If it’s hard for us to find it, then let’s make it find us!’ Suddenly, a thought struck Shen Haoran. ’The Heaven and Earth Spirits can sense each other. If I use the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian as bait, I don’t have to worry about the Earth Spirit Profound Nether not showing up!’
