588: Senior, you smell so good...

At the center of the Flowing Light Sand Realm.

The colorful light shattered, and the Thunderflame Immortal Cave collapsed, leaving only a pile of ruins.

Figures looked towards the ruins with lingering fear, yet they did not leave.

They remained here, waiting for the high and mighty Great Cultivators to depart.

What the Great Cultivators disdained would be their Opportunity.

Just then.

A massive, pitch-black creature with two horns emerged from the void. Its colossal body, merely by moving, seemed capable of tearing space apart.

"It's that monster!"

Someone's heart trembled as they looked at the suddenly appearing ten-thousand-zhang-tall phantom, and their figures retreated one after another.

Although it was merely a fleeting glance, the people here already knew that the collapse of the Thunderflame Immortal Cave was due to this enormous and incredibly powerful monster breaking free from its seal and shattering the entire Immortal Cave Realm.

"It's been captured..."

In the air, three Void Refining figures looked at the suddenly appearing Futian Great Sage, their hearts sinking slightly.

Buzz!

Immediately after.

Beside this towering giant, three more figures quietly appeared.

The leader was enveloped in black Qi, making his figure indistinct.

But the faint, almost imperceptible aura of the Great Dao emanating from him made the three Void Refining Great Powers present feel a jolt in their hearts.

"This aura..."

"It seems exactly like the Palace Lord's..."

On the peak belonging to Xuan Dao Peak, the Fifth Elder's heart tightened. The Palace Lord was an peerless figure, only one step away from entering the Dao Integration Realm.

He hadn't expected that the Qingyang Zhou Clan of the Chaotic Sea, which had risen not long ago, also possessed such an existence.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

The Fifth Elder stepped forward, cupping his hands in a salute towards the Black Demon Dao Lord.

On the other side, the two worship, Mo Yin and Mo Shang, exchanged glances, their expressions solemn, and also bowed to the Black Demon Dao Lord.

The Black Demon Dao Lord glanced at the three of them, nodding slightly in response.

If it were in the past, mere Void Refining Juniors would naturally not be placed in his heart.

It was the same now, but it was much better than in the past.

"Farewell."

The Black Demon Dao Lord cupped his hands towards the three.

He was about to take the Futian Great Sage, Zhou Xiutong, and the Zhou Family Disciples back to the Chaotic Sea.

"Wait."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the other side.

"The Hai Family..."

In front of the fiery red Huaying Palace, Princess Huaying glanced at the source of the voice, which surprisingly came from the Soul Transformation Late Stage Elder of the Divine Radiance Hai Clan.

"That fellow Hai Huaiyang, who knows what he encountered to become like that."

"Now that he has died, this princess will not pursue his past mistakes."

Princess Huaying's heart stirred as she thought of Hai Huaiyang, who had already turned into a bloody mist.

Although Hai Huaiyang had always pestered her before, making her displeased, and had acted wickedly in the Thunderflame Immortal Cave.

But now Hai Huaiyang had died at the hands of this huge monster.

For a moment, it made her feel a little melancholic.

A direct descendant of the Hai Family, with an extremely high status. Although his talent wasn't fully developed and couldn't be considered top-tier, he was still exceptionally gifted.

And he had the protection of the Hai Family.

Yet, he unexpectedly died here just like that.

Indeed, life is unpredictable.

"Hmm?"

The voice of the Hai Family's Soul Transformation Elder reached the Black Demon Dao Lord's ears. The Black Demon Dao Lord's expression remained unchanged, his figure paused slightly, and he looked towards the Soul Transformation Elder.

"This arrogant scoundrel killed a direct descendant of my Hai Family. Senior, you cannot just take him away like this."

The Hai Family's Soul Transformation Elder, holding the Divine Radiance Token, hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands in a bow towards the Black Demon Dao Lord, and said in a deep voice.

"Are you worthy?"

The Black Demon Dao Lord's eyes narrowed, and a light, airy remark was uttered.

Bang!

The Hai Family's Soul Transformation Elder seemed to suffer an invisible heavy blow, his body suddenly flying backwards into the distance, blood gushing from his mouth, his aura chaotic.

The Black Demon Dao Lord withdrew his gaze, gently waved his hand, and, taking the somewhat uneasy Futian Great Sage, disappeared from the spot.

Zhou Xiutong bowed to the three Void Refining Great Powers.

Then she gently waved her hand, taking the distant Zhou Family spirit boat and Zhou Chuanqi towards Gui Zhou Island in the Li Luan Sea Region.

"Cough... Haa..."

The Hai Family's Soul Transformation Elder, embedded in the tall mountain, laboriously emerged from it.

Feeling his injuries, he let out a soft breath.

He was not of the Hai Family Bloodline, but now a highly talented direct descendant of the Hai Family Bloodline had died before his eyes. If he did not take a risky move, he would inevitably be held accountable by the Hai Family after this incident.

This current state should be enough.

The Hai Family's Soul Transformation Elder's figure trembled as he flew into the distance.

He had already sent word of this incident back to his clan, but his miserable state also needed to be seen by the clan members... North of the Chaotic Sea, outside Gui Zhou Island.

A massive spirit boat slowly approached.

On top of the spirit boat.

A three-zhang-tall figure with pitch-black horns, confined by circles of black rings, looked somewhat uneasy.

"Senior, can you answer this Junior's doubts?"

Beside the Futian Great Sage, who had transformed into a three-zhang-tall figure, Zhou Xiutong stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the increasingly close Gui Zhou Island.

The Black Demon Dao Lord's figure was not here.

The Futian Great Sage felt the invisible pressure on his body grow heavier and heavier as he approached the huge, misty island ahead.

His mind was heavy.

But he still slowly shook his head.

If he spoke, he probably wouldn't have another chance.

The Futian Great Sage sighed softly in his heart.

Zhou Xiutong did not try to persuade him further. Those who could Cultivate to such a Realm were all individuals with unwavering resolve.

"Senior, your intentions are unclear, and this Junior cannot decide to let you go. I can only trouble you for now."

Zhou Xiutong said to the Futian Great Sage beside her.

The spirit boat broke through the air, disappearing into the vast mist that enveloped Gui Zhou Island.

More than a month later.

On the huge floating island at the junction of the Chaotic Sea's Inner Sea and Outer Sea, within the Four Dao Domains of Cloud, Rain, Wind, and Thunder, specifically in the Rain Dao Domain.

A three-zhang-tall, towering figure with pitch-black horns appeared deep within the Rain Dao Domain, beneath the Nine Heavens River.

Deep within the Rain Dao Domain, there was a silver river that seemed to fall from the Nine Heavens, which the Zhou Family and all those who had witnessed this magnificent sight called the Nine Heavens River.

Within it, contained the endless Dao of Water.

It was most suitable for Cultivators who practiced the Dao of Water to comprehend here.

But for Cultivators of the Dao of Fire, it was not so pleasant.

The Futian Great Sage's expression changed slightly, but this was a Dao Domain personally set up by the Dao Lord, and he also had the restraints left by that black figure on him.

Naturally, he couldn't break free... At the same time.

At the center of the Flowing Light Sand Realm, at the junction of the Chaotic Sea, Xuanyun Realm, and Xinlai Realm.

A white, ethereal figure quietly appeared from the air.

Below in the ruins, figures moving through, fighting and plundering, seemed to be completely unaware of the white figure's presence.

The white figure glanced at the ruins below, paid no mind, closed its eyes, and gently sniffed.

In the void space, some lingering aura seemed to gather and enter the white figure's nostrils.

The white, ethereal figure's slightly enchanting face revealed a hint of intoxication.

"Senior Brother, you smell so good..."
