Great Demon Sun Wukong

As soon as the group led by the Six-Eared Macaque appeared, they immediately rushed towards the direction where Tang Sanzang and his companions were located. Their arrival only added more chaos to the situation at the Fallen Tomb. During the Six Kingdoms War, although it seemed like it was to determine the advantages for the Six Great Deep Nations entering the Patrolling Celestial World, there were actually two other purposes. One was to strengthen the seal within the Six-Eared and to allow the Six-Eared to merge with the Primordial Earth Pearl, and the other was to select a group of the most promising individuals from the Six Great Divine Nations for training, to prepare for the final battle at the Fallen Tomb. Now, it was finally the Six-Eared's turn to take the stage. However, time had changed everything.

The Six-Eared Macaque and his group of six had just left when several others appeared nearby. This time, five people showed up, all clad in Golden Scale Armor; four wearing Golden Helmets, while the leader held his helmet in hand. Watching the Six-Eared Macaque and his group disappear, he said to the four behind him, "They have appeared. We should move as well; being a fisherman in this situation isn't easy. Let's go, follow them and see who their target is!" This leader was none other than Long Lie, the Dragon Emperor who had successfully left the Patrolling Celestial World after the trial.

Among the four behind Long Lie, two were long-established Dragon Race powerhouses, Long Gu and Long Lin, while the other two were recently risen superstars, Long Li and Long Yi. After leading the Dragon Race out of the Patrolling Celestial World, the Dragon Emperor went to a relatively weaker High-Level World. Using the Dragon Race's formidable combat power and his own strength, the Dragon Emperor became the Domain Lord of that High-Level World, renaming it Dragon Realm. Shortly after, a man in black appeared in the renamed Dragon Realm. No one knew what he and the Dragon Emperor discussed, but they suddenly became sworn brothers. The Dragon Emperor's presence at the Fallen Tomb was undoubtedly linked to that man in black.

Various forces rose, and the Fallen Tomb became the final battleground and stage.

A day later, the Myriad Gods Hall and Fangcun Spirit Realm group stopped at a hilltop. Looking at the mist ahead, Wangchuan frowned, "They should be in front, but this mist feels strange, partially affecting my Divine Sense, though not severely. In another five kilometers, you should also sense the Netherworld and Genesis people's presence!" Having been chased by soul beasts through the canyon before, they had finally caught up with the people from the Netherworld World and the Genesis Divine Nation. During the previous night's rest, Wangchuan found the Netherworld and Genesis people's presence had halted. At that time, he thought Yue Huangquan and Xiao He were resting, but now it seemed not so simple.

"What should we do? If the mist is truly problematic, Lord Yue Huangquan and his people must be trapped inside since they stopped advancing last night. We need to rescue them!" said the Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Hei Kui as they prepared to charge forward. The mist was not too thick, revealing what appeared to be a city within. Bu Rechen stepped in front of them, "We can't act rashly. If Yue Huangquan and his people are trapped, we must rescue them, but rushing forward blindly could lead to certain death. Be patient; let's investigate this mist and its situation first!"

Although the Rogue Heart Sword Hero was anxious, he knew Bu Rechen was right. Nodding to Hei Kui, they held back. The Rogue Heart Sword Hero had compromised many times along the way, feeling increasingly suffocated despite the correctness of each decision. Bu Rechen and Mu Dongsheng, being the strongest, stepped forward to probe the mist with their Divine Sense. After a quarter-hour, they returned without success, unable to detect any abnormality.

"Let me!" Baje, unable to contain himself, gathered his Spiritual Power, suddenly releasing a powerful burst. A Spiritual Power storm swept towards the mist's depths. Simultaneously, Hei Kui stepped forward and roared with all his might, exerting the full power of the Blood Prison Sky-Shaking Roar. The space trembled violently. The combined might and Spiritual Energy storm provoked a response; seven or eight bursts of different Spiritual Power erupted within the mist.

"It's the Netherworld people; Lord Yue Huangquan must be in there," the Rogue Heart Sword Hero exclaimed as he and Hei Kui charged forward. The rest followed joyfully, with Baje recalling his power and keeping up with Po Jun. Only Wangchuan lagged slightly behind. Entering the mist, they remained tense. Wangchuan's senses had never been wrong, so caution was necessary. Soon, they realized the mist was harmless; Wangchuan's unease likely stemmed from the faint Spiritual Energy within the mist, a rarity in the Fallen Tomb.

Realizing the Netherworld and Genesis people might be absorbing the mist's Spiritual Energy, the warriors adjusted their priorities. The Fallen Tomb lacked Spiritual Energy, making recovery difficult. Even the sparse mist's energy was valuable. Their joy, however, was short-lived, as sudden changes struck. "Where are Po Jun and Baje? Where's Wangchuan? They were here just now!" Bu Rechen noted their abrupt absence.

The mist's low visibility extended only twenty or thirty meters, with views beyond obstructed. Distracted by the mist's Spiritual Energy, they had not focused on the vanished trio. The remaining members exchanged worried glances, uncertain of what was happening. "Turn around, let's search. Maybe they stopped for something." Mu Dongsheng's directive, regretted later, should have prioritized questioning or probing with Spiritual Sense. Instead, they chose to retrace their steps.

Retracting a short distance, Ling Yi suddenly shouted, "Stop, stop! Someone's gone again." Startled, the group turned to see Ling Yi at the rear. Originally at the front, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, Hei Kui, and Zhibei were now the last, having turned around. Their disappearance sped the grip of fear; even the Divine Oracle Zhibei vanished without a trace, heightening the group's alarm. Bu Rechen commanded, "Gather up! This mist is dangerous!"

Gathering together, they counted only Bu Rechen, Mu Dongsheng, Lu'an, the Proud Cloud Longbow, and Ling Yi. Of twelve, including the return to the canyon by Through-back Ape Yuan Bisi, eleven had left, now only five remained.

"What now? This is too strange, six people vanished without trace," Mu Dongsheng noted, then discovered Lu'an gone from his right side. Turning left, Ling Yi was also gone, leaving three from the original group.

Bu Rechen, Mu Dongsheng, and Proud Cloud Longbow! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
