The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

Luo Tian left the sect without taking anyone with him.

He stood on the Xuanyuan Sword, his long robe flattened and then lifted by the sea breeze, leaving a golden afterimage in the air before disappearing into the horizon.

When the disciples on Sanshan Island looked up, they only saw a beam of light that was getting thinner and thinner, gradually closing at the edge of their vision. After a moment, even that beam of light could not be seen anymore.

He started from the East China Sea, traveled south along the edge of the continental shelf, crossed the archipelago, crossed the boundary of the shallow continental shelf extension, and entered the open sea.

The color of the seawater changes from light blue to dark blue, then from dark blue to inky black, and finally to black.

Luo Tian did not slow down; the sword light of the Xuanyuan Sword drew a thin, long streak of light above the water's surface.

Below the light trail is a sinking seabed landscape, resembling a fault line left after a mountain peak sank into the deep water, with sharp, angular edges.

He reached the top of the Mariana Trench in the evening.

The sea was unusually calm here, as if something beneath the surface was suppressing any surging power.

Luo Tian sheathed his sword and sank vertically, the water pressure increasing exponentially with depth.

The surrounding light was rapidly fading, changing from light blue to dark blue to dark green to gray-black, and finally disappearing completely.

Luo Tian stepped onto solid ground at a depth of four thousand feet underwater.

When the Xuanyuan Sword shone with golden light again in his hand, it illuminated the surrounding environment.

He stood on the edge of a city, with massive stone pillars arrayed in his field of vision, as thick as if the mountain itself had been carved into pillars.

The surface of the stone pillar was covered with runes, which were separated by regular spacing, like a completed structure.

He took a few steps forward, the gravel under his feet making a soft, clattering sound as it moved.

Then he saw in the direction of the distant buildings that a layer of extremely dark pale blue fluorescence was slowly flickering, like a distant lamp breathing.

Each time the fireflies light up, they illuminate the outline of a small section of the building; each time they go out, they are swallowed up by the darkness once more.

Luo Tian walked in that direction, when suddenly, a huge shadow appeared to his side and moved forward a distance.

The movement was small, but it felt heavy, as if something was adjusting its position before stopping.

He continued walking forward, and when he passed the tenth stone pillar, the first strange beast appeared in front of him.

It stood in the middle of the road, its back to Luotian.

It was enormous, nearly twenty zhang long, with a blurred outline, only the outline lines were clearly visible.

There are ridge-like protrusions on its back that rise and fall slowly, as if they are opening and closing in sync with its breathing.

Luo Tian stopped about twenty feet behind it, and the thing slowly turned around.

Its head is flat, and its eyes, located on the sides of its head, have degenerated into two light-colored depressions that reflect a very faint light in the dim light.

It opens its mouth, which has no teeth, but a glowing membrane covers the inside of its mouth, like a flowing layer of electric light.

As Luo Tian drew his sword, the golden light that illuminated the entire space for a moment illuminated the Xuanyuan Sword.

It illuminated the entire outline of the thing, and also illuminated the more outlines that were slowly rising in the distance behind it.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward, sidestepped to avoid the direction of the beast's forelimb sweeping across, and his sword blade cut into the junction of its neck and torso from the side.

The golden runes on the Xuanyuan Sword lit up and spread outwards along the cutting trajectory. The blade pierced through the thick skin and muscle layer and emerged from the other side.

The creature's body trembled slightly in the sword light, then tilted forward, kicking up a layer of sediment that covered the ground upon impact.

The second head appeared to his left, smaller than the first, but moving faster.

It made almost no sound when it landed on all fours, lunging straight at Luo Tian's waist from the side.

Luo Tian did not turn around, but instead swung his sword horizontally with a backhand motion, the sword light slicing through the joint between its forelimbs and torso.

The creature's momentum was interrupted, and after its forelimbs detached, it slid forward a distance and stopped about five zhang away from him.

The third, fourth, and fifth heads surged in from three different directions at the same time.

They are not large in size, but there are many of them. They seem to be moving in the dark without a clear route, just instinctively surging in one direction.

Luo Tian gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, sidestepped the first attack, and then swiftly severed its side rib with a single stroke.

Then, while spinning, he delivered a second strike, severing both ends at the shoulder blades.

More and more silhouettes emerged from the darkness, their numbers becoming countless.

They no longer attacked in batches, but instead continued to gather in this direction.

Luo Tian stood at the crossroads, his divine sense spreading out in front of him, and then he began to move, advancing deeper into the area.

He walked through the buildings, through the square lined with stone pillars, and down a sunken staircase.

New monsters emerge from the darkness in each new area, their size and defensive capabilities gradually increasing.

At the top of the stairs, as he entered a vast underground palace, he encountered real resistance.

Six strange beasts, far larger than any of the previous ones, crouched in the center of the hall, with a glowing circular stone platform behind them.

Embedded in the stone platform is a dark crystal that is slowly rotating. Pale blue light seeps from the cracks on the surface of the crystal, which is the source of all the fluorescence in this entire underground space.

Luo Tian drew his sword and stepped forward. When the golden light of the Xuanyuan Sword shone in the hall, it illuminated the ancient murals on the stone wall.

The painting depicts a grand war scene and a neatly arranged procession of strange beasts, which, illuminated by the light of swords, resembles a long scroll that has been rekindled.

The six strange beasts rose at the same time, their movements creating a rhythmic interplay in the light of the crystal.

Luo Tian fought them once in the distance between the palace gate and the stone platform.

The moment the battle began, the floor of the hall cracked in several places, and rocks fell from the ceiling, smashing into smaller pieces on the ground.

On his sixth attempt to evade, he slashed into the neck of the last beast, the blade entering through its jaw and exiting from the back of its head.

Without stopping, he walked directly to the stone platform and raised his hand to grasp the dark crystal.

The moment the palm touched the crystal, the entire underground space trembled violently, and then all the approaching footsteps stopped.

Luo Tian held the crystal and glanced down at it.

Through the fine cracks on the surface of the crystal, one could see a layer of dark gold patterns slowly flowing inside. The structure of the texture reminded him of something.

Without examining it closely, he pulled the crystal off the stone platform.

When the crystal was removed, all the light in the underground palace went out in an instant.

All the moving footsteps disappeared at the same moment, as if they had been pressed down by something.

Only Darkness and Luo Tian remained, standing alone in the center of the empty hall, their hands still clutching the crystal that had stopped shining.

He scanned the entire trench with his divine sense, and only withdrew it after confirming that the monsters and beasts were no longer making a sound.

He looked down at the crystal in his hand, lost in thought, but he knew that without this crystal, those things would never appear again.

Luo Tian put it into his storage ring, turned around and walked back. The sword light of the Xuanyuan Sword shone again in the darkness, illuminating the way home.
