937: Entering the desolate region, a great ferocious beast...

The Marquis of Eight Desolations moved, appearing beside Xie Weilou. He chuckled lightly, "The Marquis Zhenyu is a cunning man and surely prepared a contingency plan for himself, but he won't escape far. If my prediction is correct, he must have gone to the Desolate Domain."

The Desolate Domain is unpredictable and perilous. If he wants to escape, he would definitely go there.

...

Xie Weilou took out the jade talisman and infused a stream of power into it. A flash of bloody light appeared, pointing directly toward the northern region of the Great Desolation, which was the boundless Desolate Domain.

[Remember this site's domain name. To chase Taiwanese novels, look for the most reliable one.]

"Since he is in the Desolate Domain, I will go to the Desolate Domain to find him. With this item in hand, he cannot escape."

Xie Weilou said with a calm expression.

This trip to the Great Desolation was not in vain, as he killed two people from the Heaven Hall branch and obtained the yellow springs heavenly coffin, resulting in huge gains.

As for the Marquis Zhenyu, he is merely a dead man walking. How much trouble can he possibly stir up?

The Marquis of Eight Desolations chuckled, "There are rumors coming from the Desolate Domain that the Darkness, which was originally suppressed by the Human Emperor, seems to be making a comeback. I happen to need to go there as well, but I will remain in the shadows while you remain in the open."

"That works."

Xie Weilou nodded. With a casual wave, several Storage Rings flew into his hand. He could not miss out on these spoils of war.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at the Marquis Lingxiao, "I will leave the matters here for you to resolve."

The Marquis Lingxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry! The Central State Iron Cavalry has arrived and will quickly take control of Northern Commandery and the Great Desolation. You don't need to worry about the matters here."

He then looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, a look of approval in his eyes. These two were true Prodigies!

How wonderful it would be if both of them were Prodigies of his Eastern Wasteland Dynasty.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, "The Great Sages Tomb of the Eastern Wilderness is located precisely within the Desolate Domain. If the sacred tomb opens, the sacred tomb tokens in your hands will react and guide you to the location of the sacred tomb, so you don't need to worry about missing the event."

After speaking, he held the human emperor pagoda and flew toward the northern region.

One hundred thousand years ago, a dark turmoil appeared in Central State. The source was the Desolate Domain. The Human Emperor, with a single sword, entered the Desolate Domain alone and quelled the dark creatures.

Now that the Darkness has appeared, the matter is significant. He must go and investigate.

If this matter is not handled properly, the entire Central State might once again be enveloped by the Darkness. This is far more important than executing the Marquis Zhenyu.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang, "Next, we head to the Desolate Domain."

"Alright."

Lin Qinghuang nodded and summoned a flying boat.

The two stepped onto the flying boat and flew toward the northern region...

The next day.

The flying boat sailed out of the Great Desolation and rushed toward the Desolate Domain.

The Desolate Domain was immensely vast, and its terrain was extremely complex.

Looking down, it was a stretch of barren land. They could vaguely see dense forests, which contained mysterious power that caused an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Lin Qinghuang said, "One hundred thousand years ago, the Desolate Domain was eroded by the Darkness, and countless vegetation perished. After one hundred thousand years, this vegetation is only gradually recovering. This area is extremely vast and hides countless great secrets. Perhaps it is not as perilous as the forbidden zones, but it is definitely not simple, and we must be careful."

The Desolate Domain, containing the source of the Darkness, where the Human Emperor personally intervened, and housing the Great Sages Tomb of the Eastern Wilderness, was naturally not simple, hiding many great secrets.

Xie Weilou chuckled, "It's not a big problem. My Qinghuang is powerful enough to protect me. If things get really bad, just summon three supreme emperor artifacts and blow up this Desolate Domain!"

Lin Qinghuang rolled her eyes, "Marquis Xie is so powerful, why would he need me to protect him?"

When it comes to trump cards, Xie Weilou is certainly not inferior to her in the slightest. This fellow has many good things on him, some of which she cannot see through at all.

With those items in hand, no matter how perilous the Desolate Domain is, he has nothing to fear.

Lin Qinghuang took out a map and handed it to Xie Weilou. "This is the Desolate Domain map I prepared beforehand. Keep it for now. Once we enter the Desolate Domain, various complex situations will arise, and I might not always be able to stay by your side."

Xie Weilou took the map. "Qinghuang is certainly well-prepared."

He looked at the map. This map was only a rough outline, with some markings, including many gray areas.

"The gray areas belong to the depths of the Desolate Domain. They were once the source of the Darkness and are extremely perilous. Unless necessary, it is best not to step into them."

Lin Qinghuang reminded him.

"I understand."

Xie Weilou quickly memorized the map's contents and put it away. He took out the jade talisman, which continued to guide them forward.

Boom!

Lin Qinghuang waved her sleeve, and the flying boat turned into a streak of light, rapidly speeding forward.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed.

The flying boat arrived at a massive fog-shrouded area. Fog enveloped the Void Realm, making it difficult to see the path ahead.

Lin Qinghuang stretched out her hand, and the flying boat quickly stopped. She stared at the fog ahead. "This fog feels strange."

Whoosh!

She waved her sleeve, and a long sword flew toward the fog. She then released her Divine Soul to carefully probe, but the long sword turned into dust as soon as it approached the fog.

"Within this fog, space is dislocated, carrying a cutting force. Furthermore, this fog seems capable of isolating Divine Soul detection, and there appears to be something terrifying deep within it."

Lin Qinghuang frowned slightly. The dislocated space wouldn't affect her and Xie Weilou, as they Cultivate the Void Scripture and can traverse freely.

The critical point was the fog; the Divine Soul struggled to probe it. Something deep within the fog made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Xie Weilou stared at the fog before him, his eyes flashing with golden light. He immediately activated Heavenly Eye Vision. Under the Heavenly Eye Vision, he clearly saw the fog wriggling, resembling tiny insects.

Buzz!

Xie Weilou operated the Heavenly Eye Vision to its maximum extent, piercing through the fog to observe the internal area.

After probing, he saw an ancient and mysterious gray Corpse Skeleton.

This Corpse Skeleton flowed with immortal silver-white blood. The blood crushed space, and much of the fog originated from its body.

Boom!

Suddenly, this Corpse Skeleton opened its eyes. Its pupils were blood-red and bloodthirsty, utterly terrifying. A wave of destructive might instantly rushed toward Xie Weilou, causing the surrounding space to continuously burst.

...

Xie Weilou's pupils contracted. His eyes stung, his Divine Soul cracked, blood flowed from his eyes, and a trace of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Buzz!

The bronze bracelet on his wrist continuously trembled. Eerie light flashed, and runes revived. It was not yearning to devour, but reacting to a terrifying threat.

"Hmm?"

Lin Qinghuang's expression darkened, and she immediately summoned the eastern wasteland tower.

Xie Weilou's expression was solemn. "Deep within the fog, there is an incredibly terrifying Corpse Skeleton. Perhaps it is not a Corpse Skeleton, but a living being—likely a Great Ominous Being. This thing makes me extremely uncomfortable. We must leave here quickly."

Just as Xie Weilou finished speaking, a rotting gray great hand reached out from the fog, striking directly toward Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang.

Crack!

The great hand smashed down, causing space to explode wildly. The fog was drawn in, and numerous tiny insects frantically lunged at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, capable of devouring even space—extremely bizarre.

Lin Qinghuang sensed the power of the great hand, and her eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, she immediately tore open space, controlling the flying boat to enter the spatial rift...
