The Tian Nan cultivation world.
In the southern part of Chu State, on a vast plain.
Bright sunlight spilled across the sky and land, bathing the entire world in a halo of radiance.
At first glance, the blue sky and lush green vegetation formed a beautiful painting.
Crunch, crunch.
Several wild horses leisurely grazed on the grass, while nearby deer, bison, llamas, and other herbivores enjoyed this rare moment of peace.
But this hard-won tranquility was soon shattered by a sudden wave of spiritual pressure, and all the wild animals fled in panic.
Hum—
In the air above the plain, invisible ripples of space suddenly spread outward in circles.
One after another, beams of spiritual light emerged from the ripples, transforming into figures of all kinds.
Some had horns growing from their heads, their horns imposing and striking, and their bodies were especially tall and robust, with strands of astonishing demonic aura emanating from them.
Some wore tattered clothes and had shocking wounds across their bodies, looking seriously injured.
But without exception, their auras were all extraordinarily powerful. The weakest among them had already reached the fourth stage, all were true lords and demonic kings who commanded great respect.
With every movement, they radiated an even more terrifying sense of oppression than ordinary true lords and demonic kings.
These dozens of figures were naturally the Human Race and demon race powerhouses who had entered Radiant Night Cave Heaven to adventure, and who had finally survived and emerged.
Among them was one person dressed in a black robe, his hood covering most of his face, making him look somewhat mysterious and unfathomable.
He was tall and sturdy, his temperament masculine and imposing. Beneath his eyelashes, his eyes were as black as ink, shimmering with a rational light.
His skin beneath the black robe was bronze-toned, and a seemingly ordinary longsword hung at his waist.
What drew attention was that his left arm hung limply at his side, and the spiritual pressure he exuded was somewhat unstable, as if he were seriously injured.
This person was Liu Yu!
Farewell, Radiant Night Cave Heaven.
Sunlight fell on the black robe, bringing a trace of warmth. His body and mind relaxed slightly, and he narrowed his eyes to glance at the sun as this thought flashed through his mind.
He had fought alone against a fifth-stage vengeful spirit, several times narrowly escaping death. If he had not entered the Immortal Abode world, he would already have turned to ash.
Only Liu Yu himself knew how thrilling this trip had been.
But thinking of the "prime energy" and "Pure Yang Spiritual Elixir" and other spiritual objects stored in the Immortal Abode, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he felt that all the risk had been worth it.
As long as he did not die, as long as he continued to advance with courage and determination, all setbacks and hardships would eventually become glory.
At his current level of cultivation and strength, neither the Human Race nor the demon race could ignore his existence.
Suspicions and suppression were only to be expected.
That was why he had to take risks, had to seize opportunities from the fire, and had to advance at a speed beyond imagination.
Before anyone could react, he would ascend to the peak!
"There are quite a few missing."
After a quick look around, Liu Yu noticed that compared to when they had entered, the number of true lords and demonic kings had decreased considerably.
Altogether, there were not even a hundred left.
Naturally, he had contributed to that as well. Whether they were Human Race true lords or demon race demonic kings, whether they spoke of human righteousness or lofty ideals, if they stood in the way of his path to success, there was nothing to discuss.
Only one word—kill, kill, kill!!
Among the crowd, Liu Yu quickly found his companions and confirmed that they had all managed to keep their lives.
Among them, Yellow Brow had come out unscathed and was in the best condition of the five.
