396: out of control!

A series of deep, hoarse voices emanated from the bronze ancient coffin.

Upon hearing this sound, Ye Chuxue instantly became alert.

Immediately after, under your and Ye Chuxue's wary gazes, the bronze ancient coffin slowly opened, and a dark red heart gradually appeared.

Furthermore, you not only saw the dark red heart, but also a large amount of black misty water continuously gushing out from the bronze ancient coffin.

Seeing this scene, you and Ye Chuxue decisively retreated.

"Who... are you?"

Hearing this voice, you didn't respond, but instead stared intently at the bloody figure in the black mist.

Gradually, your pupils unconsciously began to contract.

Ye Chuxue, beside you, also had her pupils constrict after seeing what was in the black mist.

It was then that you realized the figure in the bronze ancient coffin was not a heart at all; it was clearly a Eerie Creature.

It just so happened that this Eerie Creature looked very much like a heart, which caused you to have a misconception.

There were several reasons why you had previously thought you saw a dark red heart when you first entered the Barren Deathland.

One of them was that you had never left the Canglan Realm at that time, having only seen Weird Insects and never the appearance of a Eerie Creature; the second was that you had been lost in the Barren Deathland for a long time, and your consciousness was not very clear after being awakened by the weirdness in the bronze ancient coffin.

"Not leaving?"

Ye Chuxue looked at you in disbelief.

When Ye Chuxue discovered that the creature in the bronze ancient coffin was a weirdness, her first reaction was to leave this place.

The moment she saw that Eerie Creature, Ye Chuxue knew that you both had no ability to contend with it.

"No rush!"

You looked at the Peerless War King in front of you and did not choose to leave immediately.

Because after seeing the Peerless War King's situation, you suddenly remembered what Li Changfeng had told you.

Li Changfeng had once told you that all the high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had fallen into Eerie Creatures, but the high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had not completely lost their humanity.

Li Changfeng told you that in this situation with the Immortal Spirit Sect's high-ranking members, the higher the Realm, the more easily they would lean towards becoming Eerie Creatures, and the specific situation differed based on each person's talent.

However, the ultimate fate of such people could not escape the outcome of falling into Eerie Creatures.

"He might still have his sanity!"

You recounted everything Li Changfeng had told you to Ye Chuxue.

"You mean, the Eerie Creature in front of us still retains a trace of humanity?"

Ye Chuxue looked at you with a mix of belief and doubt; although she knew about the existence of Eerie Creatures in the Immortal Spirit Sect, she was not clear about the specific situation of the Immortal Spirit Sect's high-ranking members.

In Ye Chuxue's eyes, the Immortal Spirit Sect was completely a cage where Eerie Creatures were kept.

"Let's see if we can communicate normally first!"

Before her words finished, you took two steps towards the black mist.

"Are you the Peerless War King?"

You asked tentatively.

As soon as these words were spoken, the black mist instantly fell silent, with no sound for a long time.

Seeing this, you were not in a hurry, holding your breath and waiting quietly.

"Peerless... War King!"

"Such a familiar name, it's been a long time since anyone called me that!"

At this moment, you heard a deep voice coming from the black mist; this time it was not as hoarse as before.

Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in your eyes.

"There's a chance!"

However, what made you feel different was that in the simulation many years ago, after you entered the Barren Deathland, the Peerless War King clearly knew who you were.

But now, the Peerless War King gave you the feeling that he had lost some of his memories again.

"I... I seem to remember, I am the Peerless War King, one of the strongest War Kings under the Human Emperor in the Weiyang Immortal Domain."

"Where is this?"

As his voice fell, a figure walked out from the black mist; this time it was no longer a dark red heart, but a complete human.

However, you saw that on the Peerless War King's body, there were nine bronze chains tightly binding him, as if to prevent him from leaving the bronze ancient coffin.

"This is the Barren Deathland!"

"Barren... Death? Land?"

"What kind of place is the Barren Deathland? Why don't I remember such a Forbidden Ground in the Weiyang Immortal Domain?"

The Peerless War King's face was filled with confusion after hearing that this was the Barren Deathland.

Hearing this, you and Ye Chuxue exchanged glances.

"This is the Canglan Realm! One of the Lower Realms belonging to the Canglan Immortal Domain!"

Upon hearing that it was a Lower Realm, the Peerless War King's indifferent expression finally showed a slight change.

"How is that possible!"

"I clearly buried myself in a Forbidden Ground of the Weiyang Immortal Domain, why would I appear in the Lower Realm?"

"Why? Why am I here!!!"

As he spoke, you noticed that the Peerless War King's Qi was changing, becoming unstable.

Soon, you saw that the Peerless War King's two hands had already transformed into tentacles, and other parts of his body also began to gradually become weird.

"Not good!"

Seeing this scene, you knew that the Peerless War King could no longer suppress his humanity; the Eerie Creature within him was about to emerge.

"Run!"

You decisively opened your illusory Realm and let Ye Chuxue enter your illusory Realm.

Ye Chuxue, seeing that the situation was not right, unhesitatingly entered your illusory Realm.

The Peerless War King was becoming weird at a visible speed, with endless black mist emanating from his body.

"Die!!!"

In a blink of an eye, the Peerless War King once again transformed into the appearance of a blood-red heart, or more accurately, a terrifying Eerie Creature.

The Peerless War King's transformation speed was extremely fast; you hadn't even activated Great Void Dragon Travel yet.

"Ding!"

"Fatal crisis detected!"

"Emergency activation of unique skill — Heavens Mandate Protection!"

"Heavens Mandate Protection: Forcibly preserves a trace of life and teleports to a random safe location!"

At the critical moment, you were teleported to a safe zone in the Canglan Realm.

Fortunately, the Peerless War King's strength was sufficient to instantly kill you with a single move, and it was precisely because of this situation that you were able to activate Heavens Mandate Protection unharmed.

After returning to the Canglan Realm, you decisively used Great Void Dragon Travel to leave the Canglan Realm.

Year thirty-eight!

You successfully returned to the Vast Immortal Domain with Ye Chuxue.

After returning to the Vast Immortal Domain, both of you felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

After Ye Chuxue came out, she sighed with emotion.

"That Peerless War King was too unstable; if we had been even a step later, we would have died in the Barren Deathland."
