30: A long march, sword pointed at the shadows.

The news of Shadow Dance's incapacitation, Nether Fiend's execution, and the loss of his elite forces reached the Shadow Mountain Range, and inside the Bone Palace where Nether Fiend resided, the temperature plummeted to freezing point.

Crack!

The armrest of the throne was crushed by Nether Fiend, and the black mist swirling around him surged violently, revealing the monstrous rage in his heart.

"Yun! Feng!" The two words were squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with endless killing intent.

He hadn't expected that his meticulously planned 'Soul Erosion Project' would not only fail to shake the Yun Family's Foundation but also cost him two major generals, making the opponent's arrogance even more rampant! Especially Yun Feng's last words, "I will personally go to the Shadow Mountain Range to settle the score with him," which was a blatant provocation!

"Order! Activate the 'Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array'! Seal all exits of the Shadow Mountain Range!"

"Gather all external deacons and Elders! They must return to the Headquarters within three days!"

"This Lord will make sure Yun Feng comes, but never leaves!"

Nether Fiend was truly enraged and decided that no matter the cost, he would completely eliminate Yun Feng, this serious hidden danger, in the Shadow Mountain Range!

Just as the Dark Guild Headquarters was busily setting up a net, in the core secret chamber of the Yun Family in the City of Radiance.

Yun Feng looked at the abundant Rule Energy reserves on the System interface, and his heart had already made a decision. Passive defense was never his style; Nether Fiend's threat was like a sword hanging over his head, which had to be removed. Moreover, the Dark Guild Headquarters had been established for many years, and it must have accumulated considerable wealth and secrets, which was undoubtedly a huge piece of fat meat.

"System, with the Shadow Mountain Range as the target, deduce the optimal infiltration and frontal assault plan, and evaluate the risks and benefits."

"Instruction received. Starting to collect relevant intelligence on the Shadow Mountain Range (including some memory fragments of the captured Shadow Dance, residual information from Dark Guild items, etc.)... Establishing mathematical model... Deducing... Consuming 300 Rule Energy points."

"Deduction complete!

Option One: Covert Infiltration. Utilizing the Spacetime Beacon and Rule concealment, success rate 65%. Risk: May trigger unknown Restrictions, becoming surrounded. Benefit: Can execute a decapitation strike, destroying the core.

Option Two: Frontal Assault. Relying on the host's absolute strength to overwhelm, success rate 85%. Risk: High consumption, may alert other forces. Benefit: Completely annihilate the Dark Guild North Region Headquarters, acquire massive resources, and greatly deter all sides.

Option Three: External Force Guidance. Attempt to incite a Yao Beast tide or leverage the power of other forces. Success rate 40%, high uncertainty."

"Frontal Assault!" Yun Feng chose Option Two without hesitation. What he wanted was absolute overwhelming power, to trample the Dark Guild's prestige underfoot with the force of a thunderbolt, establishing the Yun Family's supreme position in the North Region!

"Grandfather, I'll leave the Family to you." Yun Feng instructed Yun Fengs Grandfather, "During my absence, activate the Starry Sky Grand Array for full defense, and no one is to go out easily."

"Feng'er, you..." Yun Fengs Grandfather looked worried; after all, that was the Dark Guild's Headquarters, which had been operating for many years.

"It's nothing, just a bunch of weaklings." Yun Feng's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable confidence.

He didn't bring anyone, going alone. With one step, his figure appeared on the clouds outside the City of Radiance. He identified the direction, and the space around him subtly twisted. The next moment, he transformed into a stream of light difficult for the naked eye to catch, tearing through the sky and speeding towards the Shadow Mountain Range! His speed was far beyond any flying Yao Beast!

A distance of ten thousand li was crossed in just half a day under Yun Feng's full-speed journey.

The iconic, year-round darkness and mist of the Shadow Mountain Range were already in sight. From afar, one could feel a sinister, oppressive aura, as well as the 'Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array' at the periphery of the mountain range, which was already fully activated and emitting a Soul fluctuation that seemed to devour everything!

The Grand Array was like an inverted black giant bowl, enveloping the entire core area of the mountain range. Myriad Souls wailed, and resentment soared to the sky; even ordinary Legendary powerhouses would probably not dare to approach it easily.

Yun Feng appeared outside the Formation, standing with his hands behind his back, observing this infamous Grand Array.

"System, analyze the structural weaknesses of this Formation."

"Analyzing... Consuming 200 Rule Energy points."

"Analysis complete! This Formation is based on Myriad Souls, with resentment as its Origin. There are three core weaknesses, located at..."

Upon receiving the System's prompt, Yun Feng understood. He did not choose a clever way to break the Formation but decided to announce his arrival in the most overbearing manner!

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread, and pressed down on the vast, pitch-black light shield in the Void Realm.

There was no earth-shattering commotion, but an indescribable, terrifying power, as if originating from the Origin of the world, descended with his press onto the 'Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array'!

It was like hot soup on snow, or light dispelling darkness!

The pitch-black light shield, condensed from countless resentful Souls and malevolent spirits, enough to trouble even Peak Legendary powerhouses, emitted an unbearable wail the moment it came into contact with that power. Countless resentful Souls were annihilated in silent screams, and the surface of the light shield, centered on the spot where Yun Feng's palm pressed, instantly became covered in spiderweb-like cracks!

Rumble—!!!

After only supporting for less than three breaths, the massive 'Myriad Souls Devouring Heaven Grand Array' completely shattered and disintegrated with a loud bang! It transformed into black Qi scattered across the sky, rapidly purified by the rules of heaven and earth!

Under the backlash of the Formation, dozens of Dark Guild Formation Masters who were presiding over the Grand Array in the depths of the mountain range simultaneously spat blood and fell to the ground, their cultivation completely waste (destroyed)!

Silence!

A deathly silence enveloped the entire Shadow Mountain Range!

All the Dark Guild members, who were standing by in full battle array, stared dumbfounded at the mountain-protecting Formation that shattered and dispersed like glass, and at the young man in green robes standing proudly outside the Formation, like a god or demon.

An boundless chill instantly rushed from their soles to the tops of their heads!

Nether Fiend's figure appeared at the top of the tallest bone tower in the Headquarters. He looked at Yun Feng, standing proudly in the Void Realm, and at the mountain-protecting Formation that was shattered by a single blow. For the first time, his violet eyes revealed disbelief and a hint of... terror!

"Yun Feng!!!" Nether Fiend let out an angry roar, his voice shaking the surroundings. "How dare you truly come to your death! Today, I will make sure your Divine Soul is utterly destroyed!"

"Come to my death?" Yun Feng walked through the air, step by step towards the bone tower, his pace unhurried, as if strolling in his own garden. His voice clearly spread throughout the mountain range, carrying a hint of mockery:

"I've come to... collect a debt."
