Chapter 726 Journey to Beyond the Realm
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, everyone else immediately fell silent, the scene eerily quiet.

After a long while, the Demon King of the Great Thousand Palace finally spoke up: "Emperor Yan Xiao Yan, this is probably not a good idea."

"Why?"

"Alas, it's not that we haven't considered taking the initiative, but the last time we did, we suffered too many losses. We were almost completely wiped out, with only one or two people escaping back."

Those mobilized weren't ordinary people, but elites from various factions.

"How could this happen? Since they are the elite forces of various factions, even if they were outmatched, they shouldn't have been completely wiped out."

"No one knows why, including those few who escaped back. They became mentally unstable due to the influence of the evil energy and eventually perished."

So since then, no one has mentioned the idea of ​​taking the initiative again.

Lan Hong then spoke up.

"This is indeed not a good idea. Extraterrestrial demons entering the Great Thousand World will not be suppressed by the will of the Great Thousand World."

Once we take the initiative, the will of the Great Thousand Worlds will be unable to suppress the extraterrestrial demons. In other words, beyond the Great Thousand Worlds, we will face even more powerful extraterrestrial demons.

"Is that so? But if this drags on, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Sigh, how come these extraterrestrial demons have suddenly become so smart? They can even come up with such a wicked trick."

"It must be because of that Demon Ancestor. A powerful commander can play a decisive role in the battle."

After some discussion, no effective solution was found, and the only option was to tough it out as things stood.

After a large-scale discussion, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and Lan Hong held a smaller meeting.

"Xiao Yan, do you still want to take the initiative?"

"Senior, I think this is the only way to break the deadlock right now. There's an old saying that goes, 'Fortune favors the bold.'"

"The three of us could try venturing into the outer realms. Although there are dangers, with the strength of the three of us, the danger shouldn't be too great. Lin Dong, what do you think?"

“I have no problem with that, but I need to make arrangements for the next steps in the Martial Realm.”

"I also need to make arrangements for the Endless Fire Domain. If something unexpected happens and we get trapped outside the domain and can't come back, we need to have a backup plan."

"Alright, then come to the Floating Pagoda Clan and meet me in three days."

"Good!" ×2
Three days later, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong arrived at the Floating Pagoda Clan as promised and met up with Lan Hong.

"Is it really necessary to take this risk?"

Cai Lin asked, genuinely worried about Lan Hong.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back. It's not too risky for us."

"Take the ancestral pagoda with you..."

Qing Yanjing wanted to hand over the ancestral pagoda to Lan Hong, but Lan Hong shook her head.

"You should put the ancestral tower away. We'll need its power to face the attack from the extraterrestrial demons."

Don't make it sound like a life-or-death situation. I said I would definitely come back, and I'll come back safe and sound.

The sadness of parting is always touching, so Lan Hong, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong chose to set off directly for the outer realms.

Watching the three disappear into the shattered void, Qing Yanjing asked Cai Lin, "Can he really come back unharmed as he promised?"

"I believe in him!"

These four short words expressed all of Cai Lin's feelings.

After a period of time, Lan Hong, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong finally left the Great Thousand World and arrived in the outer realm.

The outer realms are much more vast than the wider world, and they are filled with an unsettling, malevolent aura.

"Is this the outer realm? How come it's so empty? I thought this place was full of extraterrestrial demons."

“There certainly won’t be extraterrestrial demons everywhere. Those extraterrestrial demons must only be concentrated in certain locations. Do you have a way to find them, senior?” Lan Hong closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surrounding situation before slowly speaking.

"I can roughly judge the movements of extraterrestrial demons by the concentration of evil energy in the surrounding area, but whether it's accurate or not is another matter."

"Then please lead the way, senior. As expected, we know too little about the situation outside the realm. It is extremely difficult to move around there."

"What we need to do now is to act as a pathfinder, bring back accurate and true information from beyond the realm, and prepare for the Great Thousand World's counterattack against the beyond."

"That's right, you can't win by just playing defensively."

After that, Lan Hong led the way, relying on her sensitivity to evil energy.

Before long, they found a gathering place that was the envy of people from other regions.

This place is home to a large number of extraterrestrial demons, but there are no powerful extraterrestrial demons here.

This place is more like a transit point, where a large number of extraterrestrial demons are gathered, waiting for others to open spatial channels for them so that they can attack the Great Thousand Worlds.

Faced with these gathered extraterrestrial demons, Lan Hong, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong naturally chose to eliminate them all.

"Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon!"

"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus!"

"When the eight elements unite as one, all eight directions will be annihilated!"

With the combined attack of the three, this gathering place of extraterrestrial demons was cleared out in an instant.

"Awesome! I haven't felt this good in ages!"

"Senior, won't doing this expose our whereabouts?"

"It's only a matter of time before our whereabouts are exposed, so there's no need to worry about it. I also want to see if I can lure out the Demon Ancestor. If we can kill him outside the realm, it will be a huge victory."

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong nodded in agreement, but Lan Hong knew that the possibility of that happening was extremely low.

The outer realms are, after all, the home ground of the extraterrestrial demons, and their disadvantage in playing away from home is too obvious.

They had already discovered as soon as they made their move that the outer realm was filled with evil energy, making it extremely difficult for them to replenish their spiritual power.

If they hadn't all carried a great many pills, they would have been unable to move an inch in this outer realm.

They then continued onward, searching for other gathering places of extraterrestrial demons.

Meanwhile, in the true lair of the extraterrestrial demons, the Demon Ancestor, the Evil Ancestor, and the Slaughter Ancestor all discovered the existence of Lan Hong and his group.

"These creatures from the vast world dare to come to the outer realms? Heh, are they looking down on us?"

"Now that we're here, we're not going back. I'm going to meet them in person."

"You don't need to show yourselves now. I've seen them, and I'll deal with them myself."

"What? You want to eat it all by yourself?"

"Look at what you're saying. I won't stop you if you want to go, but isn't it a bit too much of an honor for them for the three of us to show up at the same time?"

“That makes sense. They’re just insects from three millennia ago. There’s no need for all three of us to show up at the same time.”

The demons persuaded Lu Zu and Xie Zu, and then set off alone to stop Lan Hong and the other two.

At that moment, they happened to arrive at another gathering place of extraterrestrial demons.

The three of them became wary when faced with the sudden appearance of the Demon Ancestor.
