Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Shen Daoxing frowned. Looking down, he discovered that the large hole he had just smashed through the floor had already repaired itself, turning back into a solid stone slab.

Shen Daoxing paused for a moment before again raising the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.

BAM!

A loud crash echoed.

Another large hole was smashed through the floor.

Shen Daoxing slipped through and descended to the second level below, but the place had already transformed. It was now a series of winding, twisting corridors with numerous forks in the path.

Chu Guifeng followed him down, frowning. "These corridors are constantly changing, just like the Red Land Demon Realm outside."

Shen Daoxing reminded them, "Everyone, stick together and don't get separated. Be careful, or these passages will split us up."

With that, he slowly started walking forward.

The others quickly gathered, huddling close behind Shen Daoxing. They were terrified of being left behind. This was the Demon Mountain, deep within the Red Land Demon Realm—a deathtrap with no hope of survival. If they fell behind and ran into something horrifying, they wouldn't stand a chance.

They continued onward. The only light came from the dim, flickering candles around them. Ancient characters were carved into the stone walls of the corridor, but the group encountered no danger.

But Shen Daoxing eventually came to a halt. He had realized that they were walking in circles, just as they had been outside in the Red Land Demon Realm.

Without warning, Shen Daoxing swung the Great Ming Demon Sparrow, smashing through a nearby wall with a BAM! He then led the group through the opening, choosing a different path.

The new path was still a corridor paved with bluestone. As Shen Daoxing walked onward, he found himself back in the long corridor where they had first started.

This place seemed to possess a magical quality; no matter which way you went, you would unconsciously return to where you began.

Shen Daoxing's brow furrowed.

Clearly, this was no longer the original Celestial Demon City. He couldn't detect even a hint of the stench of blood he had smelled in the city above. There was no sound, no smell—only silence.

And yet, in this silent corridor...

TAP! TAP! TAP!

Suddenly, the sound of unfamiliar footsteps echoed from up ahead.

Shen Daoxing's expression hardened, and he instantly became vigilant.

Then, a woman wearing a light veil, accompanied by an old servant, slowly emerged.

"Miss Tao?"

Shen Daoxing was surprised when he got a clear look at the newcomer. The others stared for a moment before letting out a collective sigh of relief.

The newcomer was none other than Tao Ying, who had entered Celestial Demon City just a step ahead of them—a member of the clan cursed with long life.

"Young Master Yang, why haven't you left yet?" The veiled woman was just as surprised to see Shen Daoxing and his group.

At his side, Chu Guifeng couldn't help but sigh. "We wanted to! But before we could even get out…"

Chu Guifeng then recounted the strange transformation of Celestial Demon City and everything that had happened to them down here.

After finishing his explanation, Chu Guifeng asked the veiled woman doubtfully, "Miss Tao, do you have any idea what that terrifying monster outside is?"

"What!"

After hearing Chu Guifeng's description, the veiled woman's eyes widened in horror. "The Nine Nether Celestial Demon, an Outer Heaven Evil God… That's a Celestial Demon! Someone is actually trying to release that horrifying creature!"

As she spoke, the veiled woman's face turned deathly pale, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Hearing this, Shen Daoxing frowned and fell into deep thought. 'The Celestial Demon…' As a native of the East Continent, he had of course heard of it. It was a being that had almost wiped the entire East Continent from existence.

'The Nine Nether Celestial Demon, an Outer Heaven Evil God. The deity worshipped for generations by the Celestial Demon Sect, the Evil Demon that rules over the Nine Netherworld.'

'A world-shaking battle took place ten thousand years ago, when the Celestial Demon descended upon the East Continent.'

'But that was merely a projection of the true Celestial Demon. Yet, that single projection nearly destroyed the entire East Continent. At the most critical moment, the Human Emperor of the Human Race suddenly appeared. He used his supreme Divine Techniques to vanquish the projection, and only then was the East Continent saved.'

'If the Human Emperor hadn't appeared then, or if he had been even a fraction of a second slower, the East Continent would likely have ceased to exist. No! Not just the East Continent—even several neighboring continents would have been wiped out along with it.'

Upon hearing the words "Celestial Demon," a small red snake within Shen Daoxing's body suddenly opened its eyes, seemingly interested. A corner of its mouth curled into a sneer as it mocked, 'What Nine Nether Celestial Demon? What Outer Heaven Evil God? Hahaha, just a handmaiden who warms the bed for a Venerable Supreme!'

After a moment of panic, the veiled woman quickly composed herself. She paused, then said urgently:

"Young Master Yang, judging by the current phenomena in Celestial Demon City, the Celestial Demon probably hasn't fully descended yet. This is only the beginning. You still have time! Quick, you have to go now! Any later and it will be too late."

At her side, Chu Guifeng stared blankly for a moment. "But where are we? How are we supposed to get out of this bizarre place?"

At that moment, the veiled woman reached into her robes and pulled out a map. "This is a Mysterious Domain beneath Celestial Demon City, a place one of my Tao Family ancestors once traversed. It's actually not that difficult to get out. You just have to solve the labyrinth and pass through the stone gate at its center to leave this place."

As she spoke, the veiled woman spread the map on the ground, revealing the pattern of a labyrinth composed of countless densely packed squares.

A faint light shimmered on its surface. The squares representing the walls were in constant motion, indicating that the labyrinth was changing every single moment.

In the exact center of all these squares was a large, ancient gate carved with the image of a six-armed giant—the exit.

The veiled woman stared intently at every moving square on the map, seemingly trying to find the correct path through it all.

But the veiled woman simply stared at the map for a long, long time. An unknown amount of time passed, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead, but her expression remained one of confusion. She was still unable to solve the Mysterious Domain Labyrinth.

'Clearly, this Celestial Demon City wasn't so simple.'

After a moment, the others gathered around to look as well, but after watching for a short time, they all wore the same bewildered expression.

Just then, the Blood Dragon's voice suddenly echoed in Shen Daoxing's mind. 'Kid, I sense Venerable Power—power left behind by a past Venerable Supreme.'

'What Venerable Power?' Shen Daoxing asked inwardly, stunned.

'I'm not yet sure of the specifics,' the Blood Dragon's faint voice replied. 'In short, kid, just keep heading down. I can sense that this Venerable Power is of the utmost importance to you.'

The Blood Dragon's tone became gratified. 'It seems Mola hasn't been completely useless here all these years!'

It paused, then added, 'Also, while I just obscured the Celestial Secret outside, so those fellows up above shouldn't have noticed anything, it's impossible for a commotion this big to go unnoticed in the East Continent. If you don't want to attract trouble, you need to hurry.'

Meanwhile, Chu Guifeng saw Shen Daoxing standing there in a daze and couldn't help but speak up. "Young Master Yang, you're not doing anything anyway. Why don't you come have a look? Maybe one more mind can help us crack the secret of this labyrinth."

Shen Daoxing turned his head to look at the map in the veiled woman's hands and said nonchalantly, "That's too slow."

Then, Shen Daoxing pointed a finger at the stone gate in the center of the map. "We just need to find this gate, right?"

The veiled woman didn't understand what Shen Daoxing meant, but she nodded nonetheless.

With a SHING, Shen Daoxing drew the Great Ming Demon Sparrow.

Seeing this, the veiled woman shook her head. "Young Master Yang, that's useless. This Mysterious Domain Labyrinth is constantly shifting, and every wall can repair itself automatically. Even if you break through a wall…"
