201: Chapter 200 First Encounter with the Red-Haired Monster

Ye Xiu looked at the sword pinning the skeleton down.

It was a very ordinary iron sword, yet it possessed a power that time could not erode. It was this power that had caused the skeleton, once at the Peak of the Venerable Realm, to be eternally extinguished here.

"Can you trace its Origin?"

"Do you want to see who killed the skeleton? I'm not entirely sure, but I can try."

Xing Mu's eyes flickered.

The Dead Realm in that direction suddenly began to recede; time was being forcibly manipulated and reversed.

The speed of the reversal was extremely fast.

However, the moment the skeleton was pinned and killed was clearly in the most ancient of times. Even with Xing Mu exerting the full power of her Double Pupils, it was difficult to trace back to that time in a short period.

But the two were in no hurry.

As time passed, changes finally began to appear within the Dead Realm.

A person appeared.

He swung his sword and pinned the Great Demon Skeleton to death. In less than a second, he had vanished.

Xing Mu's expression shifted as she dispersed the time-tracing technique.

"Do you know him?"

Ye Xiu asked with some curiosity, seeing the look on Xing Mu's face.

"Gu!"

"The Eastern Emperor's father?"

"Yes. Although I have never met Gu, after the Unification of Heaven and Earth, I know everything that has ever happened in the Main World."

Hearing this,

Ye Xiu immediately perked up. He didn't have much interest in learning about Gu.

But the Main World was evolved from the Lord of Guixu, which was a matter he had to pay attention to.

"Have you seen the Lord of Guixu?"

"I have. He is a truly great figure; even the River of Time was carved out by him." Xing Mu's eyes held a hint of admiration; she had clearly seen the Lord of Guixu before.

"Can you let me see him?"

"How can we see him here? Once we return to the Main World, I'll trace back time for you."

"Thank you."

Ye Xiu spoke sincerely, offering his thanks.

Xing Mu, as if discovering a new continent, leaned in close to Ye Xiu and sized him up for a while before sighing, "Many things point you toward a certain position."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't. But if your strength increases further, perhaps you'll have a chance to awaken the true spirit of the Lord of Guixu."

"What do you mean?"

"In the Realms beyond the Supreme Realm, the power of the Origin transforms into a true spirit, and the true spirit is immortal. This means the Lord of Guixu has not truly died."

Xing Mu patted Ye Xiu's shoulder. "Xiao Ye, keep it up. When you become the Lord of Guixu, remember to take me to the Other Shore to see."

"..."

Ye Xiu gave her a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

He shook his head slightly. "Let's go. Heading north, we might encounter some strange things."

"Strange? Hmph... at most, it'll just be some corpses."

Xing Mu was somewhat dismissive.

Since Gu had traveled along this path, there would surely be more slaughter ahead.

But where did these slain, bizarre entities come from? They didn't look like beings from the Immortal Domain or the Main World.

Could they be natives of the Land of No Law?

With various doubts,

the two set off once again.

Countless years later.

Xing Mu grew somewhat impatient. "Xiao Ye, are you sure the Three Venerables came here? Why haven't we seen any traces?"

"Keep heading north."

Ye Xiu wasn't in the mood to entertain Xing Mu. Throughout this journey, his mood hadn't been very pleasant either.

In this Land of No Law,

dead silence was everywhere. Being in such an environment for a long time was very distressing.

"Sigh..."

Amidst the complaints,

the two continued north.

After another unknown number of years, a roar caused them to stop in their tracks.

A Red-Haired Monster?

Ye Xiu looked at the Red-Haired Monster blocking the way ahead, showing a look of surprise.

"Is this thing trying to go to the Boundary Sea?"

Before he could think further, the Red-Haired Monster seemed to discover them as well. With a roar, it charged toward them.

"Heh, seeking death."

Ye Xiu sneered and threw a punch.

Terrifying power shook the countless surrounding Dead Realms, stirring up monstrous waves in the Land of No Law.

Boom...

The Red-Haired Monster was sent flying.

"Not bad, it actually has the strength of the Venerable Realm. No wonder it could suppress the Eastern Emperor after entering the Main World."

Watching the Red-Haired Monster charge again,

Ye Xiu threw punch after punch. The terror of the mighty power within his body was fully displayed at this moment.

The Red-Haired Monster was beaten back by every punch,

yet it charged again and again.

It was like a monster without a Soul. No matter how severe the injuries, it could heal instantly. Unless one could deal a killing blow, dealing with such a monster was quite troublesome.

"Xiao Ye, if you can't do it, let me. It's exhausting just watching."

Xing Mu was somewhat dissatisfied. With her Double Pupils flickering, she instantly appeared before the Red-Haired Monster.

Clang...

Amidst the sound of a sword's hum,

the Red-Haired Monster instantly exploded. Several ancient runes formed in the blood mist and rapidly dissipated across the layered Dead Realms.

As the ancient runes completely vanished, a new Red-Haired Monster appeared in the original area.

At the same time,

a sharp screech erupted from the Red-Haired Monster's mouth. The sound was extremely piercing, and in just an instant, it echoed through countless Dead Realms.

"Damn it, it's a signal."

Xing Mu looked at the screeching Red-Haired Monster, her pretty face full of anger.

Roar...

Faint roars began to sound throughout the Land of No Law.

Countless Dead Realms surged, turning into monstrous waves crashing against each other.

"Let's go, quickly!"

Seeing this, Ye Xiu's brow furrowed deeply. A big one was coming.

"What are you afraid of? With me here, is there anything we can't handle?" Xing Mu was stubborn, but her body followed Ye Xiu's lead as they fled toward another area.

Not long after they left,

several large Red-Haired Monsters arrived at the area where the bloody ancient runes had dissipated.

Roars rang out.

Frightful pressure shook countless Dead Realms, stirring up layer upon layer of monstrous waves.

The faces of the two who had just left immediately changed.

Their strength was not inferior to theirs.

They were at least at the Half-Step Emperor Realm. What kind of monsters were in this Land of No Law?

"We can't get away."

Ye Xiu looked at the dozens of Red-Haired Monsters suddenly blocking the way ahead, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"Charge through. These things are likely searching for the Boundary Sea, and we just happened to run into them." Xing Mu's Double Pupils flickered as she rapidly deduced the situation.

"We can't just charge through."

The large Red-Haired Monsters from behind had already caught up.

"Go!"

With a thunderous shout,

the Heavenly Emperor Fist was suddenly unleashed.

The fist light illuminated the world, shaking countless Dead Realms. Wherever the light passed, all Dead Realms instantly dissolved.

The two dared not delay.

With the fist light clearing the way, all obstacles ahead were instantly evaporated.

Whoosh...

The two broke through the blockade of the Red-Haired Monsters and fled rapidly toward the north.
