Once, the Demon Palace Layer 998 housed the largest city cluster of the Demon Palace and the headquarters of the Demon Palace Security Bureau.
However, ever since the spirit of the demon lord took over the Demon Palace and established its inner sanctum on the first floor, this place has gradually fallen into desolation.
"Yet no matter how desolate it is, it shouldn't be reduced to this state, right?"
Upon arriving at Demon Palace Layer 998, Bai looked at the empty streets and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Indeed, it wasn't just this street...
He extended his perception and found that the entire city had long been emptied, with not a single resident left inside.
But soon, Bai thought of another possibility.
"So, this is the battlefield you preset..."
Bai muttered this as he and Tang Haofei made their way directly to the headquarters of the Demon Palace Security Bureau.
Following the guidance of the mark left by Aoga, Bai and Tang Haofei quickly found the teleportation array technique located underground in the Demon Palace Security Bureau, which led to the Demon Palace 999th Layer.
Bai activated the teleportation array, and with the array's light aura swirling, it wasn't long before the teleportation array was activated.
At this point, Bai took a deep breath. He motioned for Tang Haofei to go first, and after assuring that there was no danger on the other side once Old Tang stepped into the array, Bai finally stepped into the teleportation array himself.
As the scenery in front of him changed, when Bai opened his eyes again, he found himself facing the Temple of the Void Realm, which had a similar structure to the Sovereign Palace Cluster.
...
Bai had only visited the Temple of the Void Realm once, but even after just that one visit, he remembered the layout vividly.
Recalling everything he had experienced last time, Bai raised his foot and found himself unconsciously walking towards the main hall from his memories.
He and Tang Haofei moved faster, seemingly impatient, until with a "bang," Bai kicked open the grand door of the main hall, revealing the interior scene.
A solitary throne, an empty hall...
And three gaping passages at the back of the hall.
"Wen Yu! Come out and face me!"
A passionate roar erupted from Bai's mouth, echoing like rolling thunder as it surged directly into the three passages.
Before long, Bai sensed a presence emanating from the central passage.
In that instant, Bai felt as if a black sun was slowly rising before him.
A chill that couldn't be suppressed surged throughout his body, an immense pressure enveloping him. At that moment, Bai felt a darkness closing in, as if facing an overwhelming terror!
It was only when Tang Haofei gently moved and stood in front of Bai that this terrifying illusion slowly dissipated...
"Ha!"
Bai exhaled a deep breath, watching the increasingly intense black sun in the central passage. After a moment, he unexpectedly broke into a cold smile.
"It's up to you now!"
With that, Bai nimbly exited the hall...
That's right, he ran away...
Bai felt a forest of thoughts in his mind. Judging by strength, he was not even close to Tang Haofei and Wen Yu right now. Once the battle started, Bai could be caught in the crossfire and crushed to pieces. Given that, why should he insert himself into a conflict he couldn't participate in?
After all...
Under normal circumstances, Tang Haofei's power was already enough to suppress Wen Yu...
Bai's deduction was not wrong.
The dark aura grew denser, sweeping in like raging waves. However, at this moment, Tang Haofei stood like a steadfast continental plate amidst the surging tides, unfazed by the tsunami that the sea brought.
Until a dim flash of lightning tore through...
In the next instant, Bai, who had already left, suddenly looked back and saw the main hall of the Temple of the Void Realm trembling abruptly. Endless arcs of electricity crawled up the walls of the main hall, and a "buzzing" thunder roared.
Under this terrifying force, the main hall instantly collapsed, followed by a loud "boom!"
