Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm, Azure Sky City.

This is the main city of the Canghuang Sect, one of the three major sects of the Tianxu Divine Clan. It is majestic and magnificent, reaching the sky.

On a desolate mountain dozens of miles south of Cangtian City, hundreds of powerful members of the Tianxu Divine Clan, dressed in the robes of high-ranking members of the Canghuang Sect, quietly guarded the entrance to an opened secret realm.

Near the entrance to the secret realm, a figure was using a mirror-like object to explore the interior of the realm.

After a moment, he slowly put down the prop in his hand, his expression becoming solemn. "This time, a very powerful being is sealed inside the secret realm."

"To destroy this secret realm before the enemy completely escapes, we may need to sacrifice many powerful individuals." As he spoke, the man's gaze swept over everyone present. "We don't have much time left."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, but no one immediately stepped forward to enter the secret realm.

As the Tianxu God Clan who have long operated here, they know best the dangers of this secret realm. Even with powerful wish-granting items, a slight mistake could lead to eternal burial here.

Those who die in the Heavenly Ruins Divine Realm will also die in their own world.

The man inspecting the secret realm shook his head slightly, not surprised by the situation. He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the horizon.

Other powerful members of the Canghuang Sect also noticed the unusual phenomenon on the horizon and looked up in the same direction.

As far as they could see, a point of light was rapidly approaching them.

Soon, the outline of the light spot became clear.

It was a painted boat floating in the air.

“It’s a vehicle-type wish-power item.” One of them said in a deep voice, and the expressions of the others also became serious.

They had never seen this vehicle before.

This suggests that the visitors are likely from an unknown force.

It's hard to tell whether they're friend or foe.

In the somber atmosphere, the painted boat had already arrived in front of everyone.

As a glimmer of light disappeared, only the two people who had put away their painted boats fell from the sky.

Only two people?

The powerful members of the Canghuang Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

There are hundreds of them here; if the other party has ill intentions, they can teach them a lesson.

"Step~"

Yu Zhun and Lu Wen landed from the air, their gazes falling on the entrance to the secret realm, and then on the crowd of people staring intently at them from all sides of the entrance.

"Are you members of the Canghuang Cult?"

“Indeed.” One of the powerful figures spoke in a deep voice, “This is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Canghuang Sect. Who are you?”

"Why have you entered my sphere of influence?"

“That’s not important.” Yu Zhun shook his head and looked back at the entrance to the secret realm. “Time is limited, so let’s stop talking nonsense.”

"We need to go into this secret realm."

Ok?
Upon hearing this, the members of the Canghuang Sect were slightly taken aback.

"You want to go in?" another powerful figure asked instinctively. "What are you going in for?!"

"How novel!" Lu Wen chuckled. "Entering the secret realm not to destroy it, but for sightseeing?"

"You..." The powerful man choked on Lu Wen's words, his expression turning green.

"Alright." The man who had previously inspected the secret realm spoke in a deep voice, stopping the experts from the Canghuang Sect, and then looked at Yu Zhun and the other two.

"I am Si Huang, the vice leader of the Canghuang Sect."

"You may enter this secret realm as you wish."

"But if you die inside, don't blame the Canghuang Sect Leader."

“No problem.” Yu Zhun chuckled and pulled Lu Wen directly into the entrance of the secret realm.

Upon seeing the two who entered, one of the powerful figures couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Sihuang, these two people are of unknown origin. Is it really alright to just let them in like this?"

“It’s alright.” Si Huang shook his head slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. “I’ve already roughly guessed their identities.”

The fact that players from the Divine Demon Palace entered the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] caused quite a stir among the Heavenly Ruins God Clan. Although the Canghuang Sect was not involved, it was not entirely unaware of it.

He sensed a demonic aura emanating from those two people.

Although there are two paths to choose from in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], it seems that only those guys from the God and Demon Palace choose the demonic path.

There are actually different attitudes among the players of the Divine Palace and the Heavenly Ruins Divine Clan.

Some of them held the highest reverence for the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace, believing that the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace was on the same side as them, and that the players of the Divine Demon Palace were naturally their enemies.

However, another group's attitude towards this matter is ambiguous.

The reason is also very simple.

Over the years, the Heavenly Ruins God Clan has become far too deeply bound to that person in the Heavenly Ruins God Palace.

If they could actually gain some advantage from the other party, that would be fine, but in reality, the other party doesn't care much about them.

Leaving behind the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm] is the last act of kindness the other party can show.

Therefore, the Tianxu God Clan is the Tianxu God Clan, and the Tianxu Divine Palace is the Tianxu Divine Palace. The two need to be clearly distinguished, and they also need to find new allies.

The Palace of Gods and Demons might not be an impossible place.

However, the number of Tianxu God Clan members who hold this attitude is not large, mainly the Canghuang Sect.

Si Huang turned and walked towards Cangtian City.

"Let them be."

"Leave a few to guard the entrance to the secret realm, and the rest return to Cangtian City."

"If they can't destroy it, we'll send more people in."

Something seems to have changed.

Helmod stood still, sensing the changes around him, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

As cracks appeared in the seal beneath my feet, it seemed as if an invisible force was enveloping the surrounding environment.

But he couldn't explain exactly what it was.

After a short wait, Helmod seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the distance.

Upon seeing the figure that had suddenly appeared, his pupils contracted sharply.

Yu Zhun and Lu Wen?
How did those two get in here too?

"How did you two get in?" he asked as he quickly walked towards the two of them.

But then, Helmod's expression changed slightly.

The two men cautiously surveyed their surroundings, but seemed to treat him as if he were invisible.

Could it be... that they can't see themselves?

Thinking of this, Helmod reached out a hand and tried to pat Yu Zhun on the shoulder, but his hand passed right through it.

“It’s a projection…” Helmod’s expression was uncertain.

The fact that Yu Zhun and Lu Wen didn't come to this unknown world like him is somewhat good news.

But Helmod couldn't immediately tell what their situation was.

At that moment, Helmod's expression hardened slightly.

Because Yu Zhun took out a chalk-like object from his backpack and started writing in the air.

“Yu Zhu, Udir, Helmod, if you see us, follow our footsteps and we will take you out.”
-
"Is this okay?"

Looking at the words in the air, Lu Wen couldn't help but speak.

“It should be fine.” Yu Zhun nodded slightly. “If any of them are indeed near the area corresponding to this secret realm, they should have already discovered us by now.”

"Although we can't see them, we can tell them what to do in this way."

As he spoke, Yu Zhun put the chalk into his pocket. It wasn't ordinary chalk, but a secret treasure called "Magic Handwriting," which could write on anything, including the air.

"Next, we need to consider how to destroy this secret realm." Yu Zhun turned his gaze away from the words and looked at the scene inside the secret realm with a slightly solemn expression.

On the desolate plain, the earth cracked open in countless fissures, and things that looked like tentacles or roots emerged from the cracks, constantly wriggling.

These tentacles are covered with countless sharp teeth, eyes, and bristles growing irregularly, making them look particularly unsettling.

Clearly, a place that can grow to this size is no ordinary secret realm.

This secret realm likely contains the seal of a powerful being.

Moreover, judging from the current situation...

That being must be underground.

“These things are disgusting.” Lu Wen looked at the tentacles spreading towards them from the ground with disgust. “You take care of figuring out how to destroy the secret realm. I’ll just take care of the action.”

With Yu Zhun around, he wouldn't bother using his brain.

“Okay.” Yu Zhun nodded. “Then jump down.”

Lu Wen: "?"

"You tricked me?" Lu Wen asked with a resentful look.

"Just kidding." Yu Zhun shook his head and chuckled. "But the powerful beings sealed here are most likely underground."

“I had previously witnessed Long Pan destroying the secret realm. They are different from us; they are very experienced in destroying secret realms.”

Recalling what he had seen before, Yu Zhun slowly began to speak.

"Our ultimate goal is to destroy the secret realm, and destroying the secret realm will also cause the sealed powerful beings to be reduced to ashes."

"Therefore, the other side will stop us at all costs."

"Even if the opponent is sealed, their strength is definitely beyond our ability to contend with, so we must first weaken them or prevent them from breaking the seal."

"We had inadvertently aligned with this point in the secret island realm before, which is why we were able to destroy the realm successfully."

"This time, we need to be more proactive."

"How do we take the initiative?" Lu Wen couldn't help but ask.

Yu Zhun looked around, his gaze falling on the tentacles that were spreading outwards.

These tentacles are constantly growing thicker, gradually widening the cracks in the earth.

It's not hard to imagine what will happen once the crack has fully expanded.

"Sever all these tentacles!" Yu Zhun said in a deep voice.

"Alright." Lu Wen took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of one of the tentacles, drawing his twin swords in an instant and severing the tentacle.

Black sap gushed from the broken end, carrying a strong, fishy stench. A faint wail rang out, causing Lu Wen's expression to darken.

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

"You creepy thing, shut up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silence of the entire scene instantly enveloped the area, forcibly interrupting the wailing.

"That feels good now." Lu Wen casually picked at his ear, then drew his sword and slashed at another tentacle next to him.

On the other side, Yu Zhun, holding a pair of daggers, was also making the same gesture.
-
"what are they doing?"

Helmod frowned as he looked at Yu Zhun and Lu Wen.

In his field of vision, he could not see the countless cracks in the earth and the tentacles protruding from them.

Therefore, all he could see were Yu Zhun and Lu Wenchao, invisible opponents, constantly attacking.

This made Helmod feel uneasy.

Even though his teammates were right in front of him, and had even come to rescue him, he was completely unable to help them and could only watch.

"Om-"

At that moment, a deep humming sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a hideous monster poked its head out of the soil and then pounced on Yu Zhun.

Helmod was startled and instinctively activated his staff, but his attack missed its mark.

Monsters are projections too?!
As the monster drew ever closer to Yu Zhun, he blurted out.

"Danger!"

Seemingly heeding his suggestion, Yu Zhun quickly regained his senses and swiftly reduced the monster to ashes with a single strike.

This made Helmod breathe a sigh of relief.

Monster... Ashes...

Are Yu Zhun and Lu Wen in the secret realm right now?
Thinking of this, Helmod couldn't help but look down at his feet.

Previously, by killing the natives, he stopped the power that was reinforcing the seal, helping the powerful being that sealed it to break through a crack, and this process ultimately led to the emergence of the secret realm.

So now…

What would happen if he replicated those indigenous rituals and reinforced the seal once again?

Once the thought entered Helmod's mind, it could never be erased.

As a divine child who grew up in the Fourth Divine District, Helmod was extremely familiar with the so-called divine rituals. He remembered the contents of the rituals of the natives very clearly after only reading them once.

But thinking of the ominous premonition he had felt earlier, and of the figures who had disappeared during the ritual, Helmod felt a growing urge to back down.

If such a ritual were performed, terrible consequences could very likely occur.

Just as Helmod was struggling with his decision, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

More and more monsters emerged from the soil and swarmed towards Yu Zhun and Lu Wen. Even across time and space, Helmod could see through the projection that the two were under increasing pressure.

This gradually dispelled Helmod's desire to retreat.

No matter what, let’s fight!

Taking a deep breath, Helmod chanted an eerie tune and danced the same dance as the natives before him.

His face gradually turned pale, and his willpower began to rapidly sweep towards the hidden seal below.
-
"Holy crap! How can there be so many?!"

Lu Wen cursed under his breath and frantically used his twin swords to slash at the countless monsters rushing towards him, all the while letting out a loud shout.

"Yu Zhun, how's the situation on your end?!"

The two were not far apart, but the seemingly endless monsters had completely occupied the space between them.

"Not good at all!" Yu Zhun said irritably.

He had poured tens of thousands of units of his willpower into the [Blessing Stone], directly raising his physical attack to the level of hundreds of millions, which barely ensured his survival in such a terrifying sea of ​​monsters.

"Lu Wen, hold on!"

"Think about our experience in the hidden island paradise!"

"Once these monsters are destroyed, the sealed entity will be weakened!"

"Easy for you to say," Lu Wen gritted his teeth. "Who knows how many more monsters are ahead? I'm almost..."

"You can't do it anymore?"

"Damn it!" Lu Wen's eyes turned red. Hearing Yu Zhun's soul-searching question, he was already exhausted, but a new surge of power instantly appeared.

"I'm perfectly capable!"

More and more monsters were shredded by him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and in an instant, Lu Wen had carved out a vacuum area around him.

Yu Zhun's lips curled up slightly, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Lu Wenxing, of course he can do it too!
He gripped the dagger tightly, ready to unleash his power, when suddenly a piercing scream rang out.

The next instant, all the monsters stopped moving at the same time.

Before Yu Zhun and Lu Wen could react, the monsters turned to ashes and vanished, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.
