960: The gods have dispersed, the threat has vanished.

Boom!

The three supreme emperor artifacts revived, their power utilized to about 50%, spreading extensively and sealing off the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding space to continuously shatter.

Buzz!

Above Lin Qinghuang, three ancient and mysterious illusory figures appeared: a Star Illusion, a Void Illusion, and a mysterious grey figure.

These were the remnants of three ancient Great Emperors. As soon as the Emperor Images appeared, the three supreme emperor artifacts erupted with even more terrifying power, causing the heavens and earth to rumble and the vast sea to continuously shake.

Boom!

The human emperor pagoda was affected, and an ancient, mysterious golden figure appeared, suppressing the heavens and earth with a rainbow-like Aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

The fierce power of the four Great Emperor Illusions swept forth, affecting many Dark Creatures, whose bodies shattered wildly, even weakening the Dark Power by a few points.

"Great Emperors!"

The Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at the four Great Emperor Illusions, his eyes filled with awe, and he respectfully bowed.

He had controlled the human emperor pagoda many times, but this was the first time he had seen the Great Emperor Illusions appear in such a manner.

The Calamity God's pupils contracted, his face full of apprehension, mixed with a hint of reverence.

"Great Emperor Illusions..."

The Dark Woman stared at the four Great Emperor Illusions, her eyes showing apprehension, and she instinctively retreated.

Lin Qinghuang stepped forward, saying indifferently, "I also want to see what is so extraordinary about you."

A deity born from a Physical Body is naturally not simple, but it is certainly not as powerful as a Physical Body controlled by one's own Divine Soul.

This also made her even more curious about Yan Ruyi.

That woman was outside, yet her Divine Soul was here, and even a powerful existence like the Calamity God called her 'Master,' which was very strange.

...

The Dark Woman stared at Xie Weilou and the others, her Dark Power continuously surging, becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

"Hmm?"

The Dark Woman sensed that her power was out of control. Her pupils contracted, and she quickly retreated, clutching her head with a distorted expression.

At this moment.

Outside the Barren Domain.

On a hill.

Yan Ruyi, dressed in a goose-yellow long dress, held her chin up, pulled a wild fruit from her sleeve, casually wiped it on her sleeve, and then lazily began to nibble on it.

She said with a smile, "Oh! My little secret has been discovered! Time to run, run..."

With that, she left, still nibbling on the wild fruit, her smile unwavering.

Little Wei Lou must have been stunned to see her little secret, how interesting!

Inside the Dark God Pass.

Buzz!

The goddess statue in front of the Calamity God transformed into a residual light, instantly flying to the front of the divine palace. A mysterious power erupted, enveloping the Dark Woman and continuously crushing the deity within her.

"Roar! No... she hasn't..."

The Dark Woman let out an unwilling roar, her body trembled, the Dark Power on her quickly dissipated, and she collapsed directly to the ground.

Her eyes became hollow and lifeless; the deity within her was directly erased by the power of the goddess statue.

The Dark Woman's body returned to the divine palace.

Buzz!

The goddess statue flashed with a black light, and the divine palace continuously floated up. The surrounding islands surfaced, constantly reassembling.

A few breaths passed.

A giant Dark Giant appeared in the vast sea, with the divine palace on its head.

It carried the Dark Divine Palace and led countless Dark Creatures towards a more distant area.

As the giant moved forward, the Dark Power in the sea continuously dissipated.

Seeing this, the Calamity God bowed to the departing divine palace and looked at the Dark Creature beside him: "Go!"

"Roar!"

This Dark Creature transformed into a residual image and quickly followed the Dark Divine Palace.

...

Lin Qinghuang frowned slightly at the sight but did not continue to attack. After all, this woman might be related to Yan Ruyi, so it was not appropriate to continue.

The Calamity God looked at Xie Weilou and the other two, saying, "The deity has dispersed, and the threat is gone! My Master has an agreement with the Human Emperor, so the darkness will not continue to invade. You can rest assured."

Lin Qinghuang put away the three supreme emperor artifacts, the Emperor's might dissipated, and the three Great Emperor Illusions vanished.

The human emperor pagoda returned to calm, once again in the Marquis of Eight Desolations' hands.

"Mysterious little Ruyi, next time I'll have to pin her against the wall and pry open her little head."

Xie Weilou muttered to himself, putting away the Dark Divine Fire.

He stared in the direction the Dark Giant had gone, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This Dark Sea is extremely extraordinary; something must be hidden in the distant regions.

However, it is not suitable to continue exploring for now.

Boom!

The Calamity God stamped his foot, and a mysterious power enveloped Xie Weilou and the others, directly taking everyone out of the Dark God Pass.

A moment later.

The Calamity God led Xie Weilou and the others outside the Dark God Pass.

The cracks on the Dark God Pass were rapidly healing, and the traces disappeared.

"This place is now safe."

The Calamity God said, then vanished from the spot, needing to continue guarding the Barren Domain.

"That's good!"

Ye Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the cracks in the Dark God Pass repaired.

He looked at Xie Weilou and the other two, a hint of curiosity arising, wondering what they had seen inside the Dark God Pass.

Wang the Celestial Being said, "To be safe, you and I should reinforce the Seal again."

"Alright!"

Ye Xuanzhen nodded gently.

Then the two of them acted, continuously reinforcing the Seal on the Dark God Pass.

After half an incense stick's time.

The two reinforced many Seals, and Ye Xuanzhen even set up a great formation here, sealing off this part of the world.

This way, even if darkness overflowed again, it would not quickly envelop the Barren Domain in a short time.

"Let's go!"

Ye Xuanzhen said.

Everyone returned to the Bone Boat and headed back the way they came...——————

Shuofeng Tribe.

Wang the Celestial Being, Ye Xuanzhen, and Shi Qingxuan had already departed, leaving only Xie Weilou and his two companions here.

"How is the situation at the Dark God Pass?"

The Shuofeng Leader looked at the Marquis of Eight Desolations.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations said with a faint smile, "That place has been sealed, and darkness will not overflow again. The Barren Domain is safe, but the statue of your Shuofeng Tribe will not return. It was something from within the Dark God Pass and has already departed."

The Shuofeng Leader said, "No matter! As long as darkness doesn't appear again, that's fine."

For the Shuofeng Tribe, the only use of the goddess statue was to resist darkness.

Now that darkness would no longer appear, the entire Barren Domain could rest easy, and it didn't matter if the goddess statue was gone.

However, for the Shuofeng Tribe, that statue held extraordinary significance. They could later reconstruct an identical statue to reassure their clansmen.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations nodded, then looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang: "I am returning to Zhongzhou next. I won't be going to that tomb. You can stay here for a while longer."

Although Marquis Zhenyu had fallen, the forces of the Heavenly Hall in Zhongzhou had not been completely eradicated, and he still needed to resolve these matters.

In addition, within Zhongzhou, any forces related to General Zhenbei and Marquis Zhenyu must be completely eliminated.

Xie Weilou bowed to the Marquis of Eight Desolations.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations smiled and departed...
