"A young dragon, untested by the hardships of the world, cannot survive on pride alone."

The Dark Scale Profound Flood Dragon spoke tremulously, its enormous head lowered.

Hearing this, a flicker of astonishment crossed Gu Yun’s eyes. ’Well, I’ll be!’

’So much for a fearsome beast, now he’s just standing there like a common goon.’

....

「An hour later.」

Gu Yun soared through the air.

He transformed into a streak of lightning, racing across the firmament.

Like a thunderbolt tearing through the heavens, his speed was utterly incredible.

The one slight difference in his appearance,

was a dark, imperious Flood Dragon tattoo that now stretched from Gu Yun’s chest down his left arm.

It was both menacing and vividly lifelike,

looking as if it might leap off his skin at any moment.

It radiated a tyrannical majesty, enough to fill any onlooker with terror!

’Blood Spirit Contract!’

Gu Yun’s eyes glinted as he murmured the words in his mind.

Indeed.

The imperious and mighty Flood Dragon tattoo on his body was, in fact, the transformed Dark Scale Profound Flood Dragon.

Just a short while before,

the kowtowing Dark Scale Profound Flood Dragon, desperate to save its life and avoid being blasted into oblivion,

had proactively offered the Blood Spirit Contract from its fragmented ancestral memories.

The Blood Spirit Contract was utterly tyrannical.

The life and death of the one bound by the Blood Covenant were placed entirely in the hands of the contract’s master.

"Xiaoyou, why were you here?"

Gu Yun asked, puzzled.

’Logically, a Demon Beast like a Flood Dragon...’

’...shouldn’t it be in the vast, boundless ocean?’

’How could it appear in a godforsaken corner of the mountains like the Cang Mang Mountain Range?’

Boss, I have no idea!

"Why wouldn’t you know?"

Boss, I just don’t!

The Dark Scale Profound Flood Dragon pleaded complete ignorance via its Spiritual Sense.

’Damn!’

’What good are you, then?!’

Not long after leaving the Cang Mang Mountain Range,

his dark, profound gaze fell upon a bustling city below, a sea of people moving through its streets.

Then, he vanished from the sky in a flash, hurtling toward Chong’an City of the Great Yan Dynasty!

...

Great Yan Dynasty,

Chong’an City.

Chong’an City, located in the northern region of the Great Yan Dynasty, was not far from Fengchuan Prefecture City.

At this moment,

a scene of peace and harmony filled Chong’an City.

The faces of every person in the city were filled with smiles,

making for an extremely bizarre sight!

From outside Chong’an City,

if one were to use their True Yuan to open their Spiritual Eye, they would see the sky above the entire city permeated with the aura of Demon Fiends.

Vaguely, this miasma of countless Demon Fiend auras formed a faint, eerie smiling face that loomed over the entire Chong’an City!

Inside Chong’an City,

on a residential street,

stood two figures.

One was Li Xingyue, handsome and clad in a white robe with a longsword on his back.

His grave gaze swept over the surrounding residents.

Every person he saw wore a blissful smile,

as if they were living in a dream.

Yet they moved like zombies.

Everyone in the city was smiling. It was truly and utterly bizarre!!

The burly man beside him, dressed in snug black attire, glanced at their seemingly familiar surroundings.

His expression was grim as he said, "Brother Li,

we’ve been walking for a long time, but we keep ending up right back where we started.

I’m afraid we’re trapped in the Domain of some Great Demon Fiend!!

We’re in grave danger now!!"

This man was Zhong Wuan, an Earth Tier Demon Exterminator from the Great Yan Dynasty’s Demon Suppression Bureau.

After leaving Fengchuan Prefecture City, Li Xingyue had come here and chanced upon Zhong Wuan, who was also on a mission to eliminate demons.

Li Xingyue had a nagging feeling that this place was extremely dangerous.

Since they shared the goal of demon extermination, they had decided to team up.

"We’ll have to take it one step at a time.

I sent for help a little while ago. I believe they’ll arrive soon.

When they get here, they can attack this Demon Realm from the outside. That might be our chance to escape."

Li Xingyue said in a low, measured tone, his eyes scanning the area.

Hearing this,

a flicker of blood-red light flashed subconsciously in Zhong Wuan’s eyes.

He asked, as if making a casual inquiry, "That would be for the best. Brother Li, are there many of them?"

"Hmm?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Li Xingyue’s eyes, followed by a new wariness.

’This man...’

He ultimately replied cheerfully,

"Of course there are many reinforcements. Don’t you worry, Brother Zhong. We’ll get out of this Demon Realm safely."

Zhong Wuan laughed in reply:

"Hahaha, that’s true.

I was worrying for nothing."

Suddenly,

"BOOM!!"

From the void, two black figures plummeted from the sky,

smashing violently into a nearby house.

The house instantly collapsed, sending rubble flying amidst a cloud of dust.

Two tall, burly figures were revealed, their bodies exuding a thick Demon Fiend aura. The very air around them seemed to twist and distort under the pressure of their terrifying, dark Demon Qi.

"Viper!

I want to take these two on myself!

Show ’em the might of the Ox! What do you say!?"

The tall, ox-faced Ox Demon rumbled, his voice hoarse and muffled as he radiated a terrifying Demonic Fiend aura.

This was none other than the Ox Demon who had massacred Fengchuan Prefecture City.

In the few short days since then, its Cultivation had already reached the True Martial Realm Third Layer Peak.

It was even on the verge of breaking through to the True Martial Realm Fourth Layer!!

’One layer a day, completing the Ninth Layer in nine days?’

"HISS!

Screw you!

If you screw up the Demon Lord’s important business,

can you bear the consequences?!"

The other demon, tall and covered in layers of scales, hissed in a sharp, grating voice. Its eyes, like a viper’s pupils, were cold and murderous.

At the same time, it released a terrifying, abyssal Demon Qi that permeated every surrounding corner.

...

「Meanwhile,」

in the Eastern Profound Domain.

Somewhere in the Northern Territory,

a Tongxuan True Monarch, wreathed in a hazy glow and radiating a terrifying Dao Rhythm,

Jiang Qingfeng, suddenly tore through the fabric of space. He moved with incredible speed, as if teleporting, crossing thousands of miles in a single instant.

He was consumed by a towering rage,

and was determined to use his absolute, overwhelming power,

to slaughter that bastard!!

As he tore through space,

his presence in the sky was like a blazing sun.

His terrifying aura resembled a Great Sun Divine Wheel.

It nearly seared the senses of those below.

An endlessly powerful pressure seemed to fill the heavens and the earth,

making it impossible for anyone to even bear looking in his direction!!

This was the power of the Tongxuan Realm, a state where one embodies the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm. Such beings were incomparably powerful, far beyond ordinary mortals, and were known as True Monarchs in the Cultivation Realm!

In his rage-fueled flight,

Jiang Qingfeng, filled with an anger he could not vent,

casually threw a punch at the sky.

Countless people witnessed it.

Their faces were filled with nothing but utter, dumbfounded shock.

It was as if an Immortal had descended to the mortal world; this was the true Divine Power of a High Tier Cultivator.

They watched as an impossibly vast and terrifying Fist Seal shattered the firmament.

The deep black Fist Seal, hundreds of miles wide, pulsed with profound runes.

It tore a massive crater hundreds of miles wide in the sky,

a wound in reality where space churned between existence and annihilation.

A pitch-black abyssal hole appeared in the sky,

swirling as if with the primordial air of chaos.

Endless, terrifying astral winds howled out from the rupture!!

The sky had fallen!!

Then, Jiang Qingfeng—wreathed in hazy light and embodying the Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm—once again crossed thousands of miles in an instant.

He believed that very soon,

he would personally slaughter that bastard!!!

...

「Chong’an City.」

"You fiends are far too brazen!!"

Zhong Wuan roared, his eyes fixed coldly on the two Demon Fiends before him.

The Ox Demon, his body wreathed in potent, black Demonic Qi, heard this,

and shot him a contemptuous sidelong glance. "And what are you supposed to be?!"
