In Bald Qiang's view, even if Xiong Da and Xiong Er broke through to the realm of half-emperors...

Bear Ridge's current strength is insufficient to remain intact against the invasion of Hades' army.

"I've already defied the heavens, so why can't I go anywhere!"

The place Bald Qiang mentioned is a taboo in Bear Ridge. Even for the owners of Bear Ridge, entering it is extremely risky.

It is located deep within Bear Ridge, guarded by the strongest Willow God.

Even Bald Qiang and his friends were unaware of the power of that Willow God.

All that is known is that the Willow God's strength is no weaker than that of any Great Emperor.

However, the area she can cover is only one-third of Bear Ridge, so Liu Shen will not take action unless absolutely necessary.

Just like back then, Bald Qiang failed to overcome his tribulation, and Bear Ridge was invaded by outsiders.

Even at that point, Liu Shen still did not make a move.

Because compared to those from outside the region, the forbidden land deep within Bear Ridge is far more terrifying.

Fortunately, Bald Qiang managed to pull himself together back then; otherwise, Bear Ridge might not have existed anymore.

Before long, everyone from Bear Ridge gathered together.

"I'm preparing to enter the forbidden land. During this time, the safety of Bear Ridge is in your hands!"

Bald Qiang got straight to the point, stating his purpose directly.

"Bald Qiang, are you crazy?! That's a forbidden place!"

King Gigi was the first to express his confusion, as he was a member of Bear Ridge.

He knew better than anyone the terror of the forbidden land, after all, he had learned his skills from the Willow God.

Xiong Da advised, "Bald Qiang, we understand your determination to protect Bear Ridge. But please don't put yourself in danger. We are strong too!"

Indeed, Bear Ridge can now be considered the most powerful entity on the ancestral planet.

One near-supreme emperor, and two powerful demigods.

The others had all reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor or the Great Perfection of Quasi-Emperor, making them the strongest on the ancestral star.

Bald Qiang calmly said, "You are all very strong, that's undeniable. However, the enemy we are facing is even stronger."

"Our vision is still too narrow. The universe is vast, and there are many more powerful beings!"

Upon hearing these words, the others in Bear Ridge recalled the scene of Hades fighting five opponents by himself that day.

The strongest man in Bear Ridge was described by Hades as incredibly weak and pathetic.

Not only Bald Qiang, but even the long-established Wolf King Grey Wolf and Lazy Sheep King were easily defeated.

You know, those weren't just five cats and dogs.

Those were five geniuses who dominated an era in their own world, five super strong individuals at the level of Great Emperors.

But so what? Didn't they still get easily manipulated by Hades?

"Don't we still have Piggy Hero from the Dream Starfield in our universe? With him around, it will be very difficult for Hades to take over Universe 7."

Fei Bo couldn't bear to see Bald Qiang enter the forbidden area; to him, Bald Qiang was everything.

Bald Qiang smiled knowingly and patted Fatty Bo.

"Feibo, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. I told you this a long time ago, so you should remember it carefully!"

Immediately, Bald Qiang stood up and said calmly.

"Everyone, you are all my dearest friends. I would be incredibly sad to lose any one of you."

"Therefore, for the sake of everyone, and for the sake of Bear Ridge, I must enter the forbidden area. This is Bear Ridge's only chance to escape this catastrophe!"

Xiong Da and Xiong Er remained silent, knowing Bald Qiang's determination and temper.

Once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.

Cow: Nonsense, if I could pull it back, my strength would have already reached the heavens!

Before anyone else could return, Bald Qiang left on his own.

He walked alone into the depths of Bear Ridge, his back view lonely yet steady, reassuring to all.

Xiong Er remembered what Tuanzi had told him, in order not to let his friends leave him.

He threw himself back into cultivation, hoping to reach the Earth Realm before the great battle.

"Da da~~~"

Bald Qiang arrived at a towering willow tree and bowed respectfully to it.

"Willow Goddess!!!"

The willow branches stretched out in front of Bald Qiang, and an ethereal voice entered his mind.

"Are you really going to enter the forbidden area? The dangers there are enough to kill even a Great Emperor-level expert!"

Bald Qiang replied with a resolute expression and without any hesitation.

"Yes, I'm willing to risk everything for Bear Ridge! And if I've dared to defy the heavens, why would I be afraid of a mere forbidden area!"

As the only emperor in history to have attained enlightenment with the Ancient Sacred Body, his talent and strength need no further explanation.

This is Bald Qiang's unique domineering nature, and it's also something he must do on his way to the top.

Liu Shen remained silent. Although she knew this day would come, she didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

Seeing Bald Qiang's resolute expression, Liu Shen sighed and finally gave way to the path leading to the forbidden area.

Suddenly, a bright green willow leaf drifted into Bald Qiang's hand, and a rich life force instantly filled the entire space.

"This item can save your life in a critical moment. Remember to come back alive!"

Bald Qiang carefully put away the willow leaf and bowed to the Willow Goddess.

He then strode into the forbidden area, for time was of the essence.

After the willow branches swayed back to their original position, they remained motionless, as if nothing had happened.

Within China, the eight great demons, upon learning of the appearance of the twelve talismans, discovered...

They all joined in the game of finding the talismans.

The three talismans that have appeared so far are the pig talisman, the rabbit talisman, and the ox talisman.

The other nine talismans became coveted items among the eight demons and those with ulterior motives.

Why not just steal the three known talismans?

That's because Sun Wukong is in charge of these three talismans. If you can defeat him, you can try to steal them.

They simply cannot take the initiative, not that they are incapable of taking action.

Moreover, someone who can defeat Sun Wukong doesn't need talismans, so why would they want to antagonize a powerful emperor?

However, the human heart is often the most unpredictable thing.

Some people within China who had ulterior motives obtained the talismans did not choose to hand them over or use them to deal with the eight demons.

Instead, they took it for themselves and watched helplessly as the devil wreaked havoc on humanity.

Some even became staunch followers of the eight demons, turning their guns against their own people.

The saying "human nature is inherently evil" is not without merit.

Sun Wukong looked at these traitors with gritted teeth.

If it weren't for the contract, he would have wiped out these traitors who betrayed him!

………………

In the universe, two streaks of light are rampaging.

"Shadow Emperor, is all you can do is run away?!"

Chapter 223 Joe Beard is dead?!

"Shadow Emperor, is all you can do is run away?!"

Superman Qiang openly provoked the Shadow Emperor, his words filled with disdain.

The Shadow Emperor's already dark face became even more profound.

He thought to himself, "If my true form were not unable to descend, you, a mere Supreme Being, would not be qualified to speak before me."

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." The Seventh Universe is no longer the home ground of the Shadow Emperor.

A dragon stranded in shallow water is mocked by shrimp, and a tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs.

Suddenly, Superman unleashed an energy punch, and a dazzling blue light instantly illuminated the universe.

The attack instantly bridged the distance between them, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Although the Shadow Emperor's current form only possesses the power of an ordinary emperor, his vision and fighting instincts remain the same as his original form.

He seemed to have anticipated Superman's sudden attack.

With a sidestep, he easily avoided Superman Strong's attack.

The Shadow Emperor and Superman Strong had done this kind of harmless sparring countless times before.

Although the Shadow Emperor couldn't shake off Superman Strong, Superman Strong couldn't stop the Shadow Emperor either.

Superman Qiang was practically cursing under his breath; he hadn't expected the Shadow Emperor to be so cowardly.

Since their first meeting, the Shadow Emperor has done nothing but flee.

Without even exchanging a single blow, the two immediately began a chase.

What angered Superman the most was that he couldn't catch up with the Shadow Emperor.

"Tch, what a troublesome guy!!!"

The Shadow Emperor cursed under his breath and began searching for any creatures in the area he passed through.

Soon after, a planktonic organism was found in the universe.

His consciousness instantly detached from his original body and attached itself to the planktonic creature with lightning speed.
