My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

"Immortal Emperor..."

Duan Lingtian silently pondered these two words in his heart.

He recalled that when they were at the Meng family manor, Meng Xiaoyu said, "I still owe my brother a lot more."

He had suspected at the time that Meng Chuan might be an Immortal Emperor, but he dared not confirm it.

Meng Chuan's calm and composed demeanor now undoubtedly further confirms this.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and led the way while subconsciously glancing at the boy not far away.

Meng Chuan's flying posture was very casual, even nonchalant.

Without activating any escape light or using any movement techniques, he simply stood with his hands behind his back, as if standing on flat ground, yet his figure remained parallel to Duan Lingtian.

Duan Lingtian unleashed the full power of the Wind Law, transforming into a streak of azure light, reaching his maximum speed.

But Meng Chuan simply took a step as if strolling leisurely, and steadily followed beside him, without even the hem of his clothes being fluttered by the wind.

Duan Lingtian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Meng Chuan... what kind of movement technique is that?"

"No movement technique," Meng Chuan said calmly. "I just walked a bit fast."

Duan Lingtian shut up.

He feared that if he asked any more questions, his Dao heart would be shattered!

The two traveled through the starry sky, passing by dim stars and through magnificent nebulae.

"The core galaxy of the Aurora Starfield is enormous, more than a thousand times larger than the Milky Way..."

Duan Lingtian led the way while explaining things.

Meng Chuan nodded, his divine sense spreading out unrestrainedly, enveloping the vast area centered on him.

The divine thought, powerful enough to encompass the entire Milky Way, swept across planets and stellar fortresses like an invisible giant net, penetrating layer upon layer of arrays and restrictions—

Some of the owners of those formations seemed to have sensed something, looking up in surprise and uncertainty, but they found nothing.

His divine sense continued to extend forward, and when it passed through a deep starry sky, it suddenly paused.

He stopped and turned to look in a direction to his left.

It was a pitch-black star field, with thin starlight, as if its light had been swallowed up by something.

Vaguely visible were some enormous shadows moving in the darkness, like some kind of huge creature or a massive ship.

A faint, pungent smell of blood wafted from that star field, carrying with it an unsettling, sticky odor.

Most importantly, there was a mid-stage Quasi-Saint there, which is equivalent to a mid-stage Immortal Emperor!

"Which faction in the Aurora Starfield is heading in that direction?"

Meng Chuan asked.

Duan Lingtian followed his gaze, his expression changed, and his tone became wary:

"Brother Meng Chuan, that's the Blood Abyss Demon Sect, one of the three strongest forces in the Aurora Starfield, which I told you about before and has a mid-stage Immortal Emperor expert in charge!"

"Blood Abyss Demon Sect?"

"Yes." Duan Lingtian lowered his voice a few decibels. "This sect has almost monopolized all the space pirate business in the Aurora Starfield, and their methods are extremely ruthless. Very few caravans or rogue cultivators that are targeted by them can escape alive."

"This demonic sect has been rampant and domineering in the Aurora Starfield for tens of thousands of years, and no one dares to provoke it."

"If it weren't for the other two major forces—the Heavenly Gang Sword Pavilion and the Xuan Frost Ancient Clan—joining forces to suppress it, the Aurora Starfield would have long since become a battlefield of carnage."

After listening, Meng Chuan did not speak immediately.

He gazed at the dark star field, his eyes calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

After a moment, he spoke: "Let's go to the Blood Abyss Demon Sect."

"What are you going to the Blood Abyss Demon Sect for?"

Duan Lingtian was a little confused. "Brother Meng Chuan, weren't you going to the Yun family?"

"Let's go to the Blood Abyss Demon Sect first and find a different guide..."

Meng Chuan said calmly, "You're too slow."

Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat!

Perhaps I underestimated him...

He took a deep breath, changed direction, and sped towards that dark star field.

The Blood Abyss Demon Sect's mountain gate is located in a dark star region known as the "Blood Abyss Starfield".

This star field originally had a huge star, but tens of thousands of years ago it was refined by a powerful demonic cultivator with supreme magic, who extracted all its energy to nourish the sect's grand formation.

Since then, this star field has been plunged into eternal darkness, with only the Blood Abyss Demon Sect's headquarters, like a lurking behemoth, emitting a dark red glow in the darkness.

From afar, it appeared as a colossal fortress suspended in the void, its entire body forged from a dark red metal, its surface inscribed with dense, blood-red runes, exuding a rich, pungent aura of blood.

Around the fortress, dozens of asteroids, which had been refined into outposts, floated, where disciples of the Demonic Sect were stationed and patrolled day and night.

When Duan Lingtian was still tens of thousands of miles away from the fortress, he slowed down, turned to look at Meng Chuan, and said with a hint of nervousness in his voice:

"Brother Meng Chuan, the Blood Abyss Demon Sect's mountain gate is just ahead. Their protective formation is said to be able to withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Immortal Emperor. Should we—"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gentle yet irresistible force envelop him.

Then, everything went blurry!

When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in a square.

The square was paved with dark red stone slabs, the ground of which was engraved with intricate patterns and exuded a strong smell of blood.

Surrounding the square are towering palaces, their walls adorned with lifelike, grotesque reliefs of demons and gods, seemingly ready to come to life at any moment.

In the center of the square stood a blood-red stone monument, hundreds of feet tall, with four large characters inscribed on it—

Blood Abyss Demon Sect!

Duan Lingtian's mind went completely blank!

Then, a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!

He quickly turned to look at Meng Chuan beside him, his voice changing: "Brother Meng Chuan, you... how could you lead me straight into the heart of someone else's sect?!"

Before Meng Chuan could speak, the disciples of the Blood Abyss Demon Sect in the square were stunned for a moment, and then instantly erupted into a commotion!

"Who goes there?! How dare you trespass into the Blood Abyss Demon Sect!"

"Enemy attack—!!"

"Activate the grand formation! Activate the grand formation now!"

A sharp alarm pierced the sky, and figures shot up from all directions of the hall, densely packed in mid-air, surrounding Meng Chuan and Duan Lingtian.

Some people have already begun to activate the magical artifacts, and colorful lights have lit up the night sky, illuminating the entire square!

"Kill them!"

With a command from a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal, dozens of attacks simultaneously slammed down on Meng Chuan and Duan Lingtian!

Duan Lingtian's face instantly turned ashen!

Although he was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, there were more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals on his side, including some at the peak of the Great Luo realm!

After this round of attacks, even if he doesn't die, he'll be badly injured!

At the same time, he heard Meng Chuan's voice.

The sound wasn't loud, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire Blood Abyss Demon Sect, piercing through the deafening battle cries, the booming of the flying magical artifacts, and all the noise:

"Yun Qingyan, come out and face your death!"

Duan Lingtian was stunned.

Yunqingyan?

Isn't that the ancestor of the Yun family?

This is the Blood Abyss Demon Sect, not the Yun family!

Brother Meng Chuan, are you sure you've got the right door?!
