Three figures, two men and one woman, were swiftly traversing through the landscape.
One of the men was exceptionally tall and robust, with skin the color of bronze. He wore dark armor that glimmered faintly in the light, and at his left waist hung an ordinary-looking long sword.
His pupils were as black as ink, and his gaze was deeper than a well, occasionally flashing with divine light.
When he exuded his aura, it felt as mighty as a primeval colossal beast—cold, ruthless, and cruel, making one’s heart feel heavy.
The other man was also tall, with hair, beard, and eyebrows the color of the earth, and even his skin had a yellow-tinted hue. From a distance, he appeared like a mountain standing before one.
The last figure, a female cultivator, was dressed in a sharp blue outfit, her phoenix eyes glinting with vigilance.
Her tall and slender figure, coupled with her snow-white skin, especially her long jade-like legs, emanated an irresistible charm.
This was none other than Liu Yu, Huang Mei, and Mo Mei.
The "Radiant Night Cave Heaven" still maintained its ancient appearance, with an average concentration of spiritual energy far surpassing that of today’s cultivation world. Additionally, it held the remnants of ancient powerful beings, with spiritual resources so abundant they could make anyone envious. Even true lords and demonic kings would be tempted to fight for them.
Entering this place required not only caution against the traps left by ancient powerful beings but also vigilance toward the true lords and demonic kings entering alongside them.
It was indeed a treacherous journey.
If the ordinary regions were like this, one could only imagine the dangers within the "Ancient Forbidden Land" inside the cave heaven.
With the obstruction of the "Path of Heart Refinement," only beings of at least the fourth stage could enter the forbidden land in search of opportunities; even early-stage true lords and demonic kings would not be qualified.
A slight misstep could cost the lives of great cultivators and demonic kings alike.
The dangers present were something Liu Yu and his companions had experienced deeply while traversing this route.
"Boom!"
Under the night sky, distant explosions echoed, and the intense spiritual energy fluctuations were still clear to hear even dozens or hundreds of miles away.
"Crash!"
Liu Yu occasionally soared into the air to survey the surroundings and saw buildings being destroyed in clusters amidst the clashes of true lords and demonic kings. Powerful auras flickered in the distance.
Some auras were low-key and concealed, trying their best to suppress any fluctuations, unwilling to attract attention.
Only through occasional strikes could one glimpse the power of their owners.
Others, however, brazenly flaunted their might, showing no concern about being discovered by other beings, clearly confident in their strengths.
Black Flood Dragon King, Crimson Serpent True Lord, Thunderstorm True Lord, Princess Huo Feng II.
With his sharp spiritual perception, Liu Yu easily identified the owners of the ostentatious auras.
Without exception, they were all famed figures; among the many true lords and demonic kings, they were undoubtedly peak powerhouses.
"Although we are on different paths, we are all heading toward the core of the forbidden land. The general direction is the same."
"If this continues, it's only a matter of time before we cross paths," Mo Mei thought quietly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
With a late-stage yuan ying cultivation, in the outside world, she would be considered a formidable presence, and naturally, she held her pride.
However, at this moment in the "Radiant Night Cave Heaven," the top-tier powerhouses of both the human and demonic races were gathered, with many far stronger than her.
As a newly promoted late-stage yuan ying cultivator, Mo Mei's strength was certainly not weak, but it couldn't be deemed strong either; a slight misstep could lead to disaster.
"Whoosh~"
Staying highly vigilant and alert to the movements around them, the three of them hurried deeper into the secret realm.
