He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

The heavenly soldiers' encirclement didn't last long.

Hei Ze and Luo Jiuyou were at the forefront. One was a newly born immortal dragon, and the other was a mortal immortal who had achieved immortality in his physical body. With the two of them working together, the trapping formation composed of three thousand heavenly soldiers was torn open as if it were made of paper.

Gu Wenxun followed closely behind, controlling Chen Dou's demonic body, occasionally unleashing several secret techniques to scatter the heavenly soldiers who were trying to regroup.

"Go deeper in!"

Kurosawa shattered the armor of three celestial soldiers with a single claw strike, then turned and growled.

Luo Jiuyou laughed heartily, punched away more than a dozen heavenly soldiers blocking his way, and then ran towards the depths of the Void Sea.

Gu Wenxun followed closely behind.

The heavenly soldiers caught up.

But before they could chase for long, an even more powerful aura rose from behind.

Heavenly general, true immortal.

Next came the Heavenly Officials and Immortal Lords.

A terrifying aura surged from behind like a tide, causing the gray-white mist of the entire illusory sea to churn and boil under its oppressive force.

"Damn it, is this ever going to end?!"

Gu Wenxun's face was grim.

One Xuan Tian Zhenjun was already troublesome enough, but now so many Zhenxian Xianjun have arrived. This kind of situation is too much for him to handle, even if the three of them were together.

"run!"

The three ceased fighting and fled with all their might into the depths of the Sea of ​​Illusion.

Xuan Tian Zhenjun did not pursue.

He stood there, hands behind his back, looking in the direction the three had fled, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

"No rush."

He said something in a low voice.

Deep within the sea of ​​illusion, something even better awaits.

And he himself also had to go and retrieve that thing.

The origin of destiny.

As for these three, they were nothing more than ants that were conveniently eliminated along the way.

His figure faded away, turning into a wisp of white smoke that drifted in another direction.

……

Chen Dou was awakened by a violent sense of unease.

Although his body was controlled by Gu Wenxun and his consciousness was tucked away in the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, even so, a palpitation still spread from the depths of his soul.

Like an extremely thin and cold needle, piercing my heart again and again.

It has no explanation, yet it is getting stronger and stronger.

"Ancient Pattern Inquiry".

"What's wrong?" Gu Wenxun thought to himself as he ran away.

"Go in that direction," Chen Dou said.

Which direction?

"There."

Chen Dou used his consciousness to point out a direction.

Gu Wenxun glanced at it; the direction was slightly off from their current escape route, but not too far.

Why?

"I don't know," Chen Dou said, "but there's something over there."

Gu Wenxun did not hesitate for long.

"OK."

He adjusted his direction and flew at full speed towards the spot Chen Dou pointed to.

Seeing this, Hei Ze and Luo Jiuyou didn't ask any more questions and changed direction.

The heavenly soldiers and generals behind them continued to pursue relentlessly, but all three were veterans among those with authority, and if they were truly focused on escaping, the enemy would not be able to catch up in a short time.

The deeper Chen Dou went, the more intense his unease became.

Like a string that gets tauter and tauter, if you're just one step slower, it will snap.

"Can you go any faster?" Chen Dou's voice rarely revealed his anxiety.

"That's already the fastest I've gone." Gu Wenxun panted, "Although this body is strong, the injuries are too severe, and it's also being suppressed by that broken formation. If I go any faster, my meridians will break."

Chen Dou remained silent.

But that unease grew stronger and stronger.

Chen Ya followed Mu Lan for a long time.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, making the road increasingly difficult to traverse.

The surrounding spiritual energy became viscous and chaotic, like a pot of porridge that had been stirred up.

Chen Ya's stamina was fine; this new body was ridiculously strong, and she hadn't even broken a sweat after walking for so long.

But her heart was growing increasingly anxious.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but the way that woman's back looks in front of me is making me increasingly afraid.

"Sister, have we taken the wrong road?" Chen Ya stopped and asked softly.

Mu Lan also stopped.

She didn't turn around, but kept her back to Chen Ya, her voice still gentle and soft:

"You didn't go to the wrong place."

"But... it's getting darker and darker here..." Chen Ya looked around. The gray-white fog had turned gray-black, so thick that she could hardly see more than five steps away.

"Almost there, just ahead."

Mu Lan took a step and continued walking forward.

Chen Ya hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

After walking for a while, the surrounding fog suddenly dissipated.

It was like a heavy curtain being suddenly pulled back, revealing a bright and clear view.

A vacant lot surrounded by dead trees.

The ground was pitch black, covered with cracks, and a dark red light flowed through the cracks, like the pulsating blood vessels of a living thing.

Nine enormous black stone pillars stood in the center of the open space, each bound with rusty iron chains. The ends of the chains converged between the pillars and disappeared into a bottomless pit.

Chen Ya instinctively took a step back.

"Sister, where is this?"

Mu Lan turned around.

She still had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes had completely changed.

There is no longer any pretense of intimacy, only naked greed and cruelty.

"This is the altar I've been setting up for ten years."

"I was planning to swallow an unlucky guy, but I didn't expect you to show up."

Chen Ya's pupils suddenly contracted.

"you……"

"Don't be afraid." Mu Lan walked towards her, her steps slow, like a cat approaching its prey. "The pain will subside soon."

Chen Ya turned around and tried to run away.

But as soon as she took a step, something wrapped around her ankle.

Looking down, she saw a black tentacle emerge from a crack in the ground and tightly wrap around her feet.

"ah--!"

Chen Ya cried out in surprise, trying to break free, but the tentacles were like living things, wrapping around her tighter and tighter, climbing up her calves.

"Stop struggling. Every inch of this land has been refined by me for ten years using the Nine Nether Yin Fiend Array."

Mu Lan smiled and approached step by step.

"Here, even immortals would die."

She raised her hand, and the nine stone pillars simultaneously lit up with a blood-red light. Countless black tentacles emerged from the ground, binding Chen Ya's hands, feet, waist, and neck.

"Let me go!"

Chen Ya struggled desperately, her inner strength surging wildly, but the tentacles seemed to be alive, and the more she struggled, the tighter they clung to her.

Mu Lan walked up to her and gently stroked her cheek.

"What a beautiful appearance."

Her eyes were glazed over, as if she were admiring a perfect work of art.

"Flawless, full of vitality, even the soul is so pure that it makes people envious."

"What if I ate this..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a whisper.

"Then I can leave this awful place."

Tears welled up in Chen Ya's eyes.

"Why...aren't we friends...?"

Mu Lan smiled.

"friend?"

She withdrew her hand, touched her lips with her fingertip, as if she had heard a very funny joke.

"Just because I gave you a ten-minute walk, you think we're friends?"

Chen Ya was stunned.

She wanted to retort, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

Mu Lan didn't look at her again, turned around and walked to the deep pit in the center of the stone pillar, forming a hand seal.

"The ceremony has begun."

The nine stone pillars trembled simultaneously.

The rusty iron chains rattled like countless venomous snakes.

A dark red light surged from the cracks in the ground, spreading along the iron chains to Chen Ya's body, bathing her in an eerie red glow.

"ah--!"

Chen Ya let out a painful scream.

She felt something invading her body, drilling into her skin and burrowing into the cracks of her bones, like countless ants gnawing at her soul.

Mu Lan closed her eyes, her face showing a look of intoxication.

"Take your time, take your time... Such a perfect soul needs to be savored little by little..."
