The figure did not respond, and the black mist gradually dissipated. It was a human form, completely decayed, as if it had been sealed here for billions of years, finally seeing the light of day again. Iron chains surrounded its entire body, seemingly obeying its orders, constantly undulating. The shadow's gaze shifted slightly, cold and dark, resembling an endless abyss with no visible end. Yet its appearance seemed somewhat dull, and after sensing everyone present, it gloomily spoke, "Human...?" Its pronunciation was extremely poor, as if it hadn't spoken for tens of thousands of years, awkward and tongue-tied.
Everyone's gaze tightened, and their hearts sank as they coldly asked, "May I ask who you are? Are you not human? And what place is this?"
A black light shot from the shadow's eyes, sweeping across everyone and revealing a strange expression. It answered without answering, "Indeed, there are no Holy Realms left on this continent?"
Those who were swept by its gaze felt their bodies tremble, as if they were completely seen through. Its words shocked everyone. This place had an unfathomably long history; could it be that the powerful beings of the ancient era in the Tianwu Continent already knew that the Holy Realm would no longer appear?
The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor exclaimed in shock, "What do you mean? Have you seen... or are you perhaps a Holy Realm expert yourself?!"
"Gahahaha, Holy Realm?" The shadow emitted a piercing laugh, "Indeed, it was the blood of humanity that awakened this Demon... it seems my previous arrangements have finally succeeded. After being trapped for tens of thousands of years, is today the day I break free?"
The shadow ignored the Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor and looked up at the dome of the great hall, as if trying to penetrate time and space. What? Everyone was stunned again. They had thought the figure before them was the master of this demonic land, but now it sounded like it was also trapped here, having been here for tens of thousands of years. Who exactly was this person?
Recalling the previous demonic aura formation, which was very similar to some kind of Immortal Heavenly Formation, everyone’s hearts raced. To think a demon could still be alive in this ancient demonic land.
"Hmph, regardless of who this person is, having been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, they must be on the verge of death; with so many of us, what is there to fear?" Sensing the fear in everyone’s hearts, the Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor snorted coldly.
"Lord Extreme Mirror is right. If we are at a dead end, worrying is pointless, but if there is a chance to survive, perhaps we can gain the opportunity to break through to the Holy Realm from this person." Someone chimed in, their eyes filled with longing. Breaking through to the Holy Realm was undoubtedly the lifelong pursuit of all powerful beings.
For a moment, everyone’s hearts surged with fervor. "Could this person be one of the ancient Demon Tribe that broke into this place? But what does it mean that they were trapped here? Who was the one that did this?" Qin Chen furrowed his brows, his mind racing.
Everyone wore serious expressions, the atmosphere was exceptionally oppressive. Although there were many people, it was eerily silent.
Qin Chen broke the silence and coldly remarked, "Looking at your appearance, you don’t seem like a human; could you be an ancient alien race?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was taken aback, looking towards Shangguan Gufeng, as there were rumors that the Piao Miao Palace had dealings with alien races.
The shadow had appeared for quite some time, and its thinking seemed to sharpen. It did not answer directly but said softly, "So, our race's invasion of the Tianwu Continent has failed?"
A chilling demonic aura erupted from the shadow, accompanied by mournful wails.
Could it truly be a member of the ancient alien race? The Extreme Mirror Alchemy Emperor was startled, somewhat horrified as he asked, "If you are indeed from the ancient alien race, why are you here? What place is this? And why were you trapped here?"
