Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

With his still-healing injuries, the Wolf Lord carefully made his way to the entrance of the Valley of Immortality.

The closer he got, the stronger his ominous premonition became.

When he reached the entrance, the sight before him sent a chill down his spine.

In the Valley of Longevity, which connects the Eastern Xuan Continent and the Tianqi Continent, the terrifying gales that had never ceased for thousands of years have truly disappeared.

"It's stopped, the gale in this valley... has it really stopped?" The Wolf Lord picked up a boulder and threw it inside, but it only hit the mountain wall inside with a loud thud.

His face suddenly turned very pale.

If the Valley of Longevity, which connects the two continents, were to resume communication, it would mean that more and more powerful individuals from the Tianqi Continent would set foot on the land of the Dongxuan Continent.

The Eastern Xuan Continent will only become more and more chaotic in the future.

"No! We must find Xiao'er and get out of here as soon as possible!" Wolf Lord had only one thought in his mind at this moment.

He dared not linger any longer, turned around and sped off downstream along the stream in the distance.

Half an hour,

A quarter of an hour,

Finally, after half an hour, he spotted his disciple.

Dozens of miles away, on a riverbank where the current is relatively calm.

The young man lay soaking wet on the pebbles, his chest heaving violently, a trace of grief on his face.

"Master!! Don't worry, those four bastards actually dared to kill you! I, Lin Xiao, have memorized all four of them. When I have achieved mastery in my cultivation, I will definitely cut off all four of their heads and place them in front of your grave!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and forcefully crushed a pebble next to him.

Just as he stood up, his eyes reddening, preparing to go back to find his master's body, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the woods in the distance by the riverbank.

"Master!?" Lin Xiao was stunned at first, then overjoyed. He scrambled to his feet and rushed towards the scene. "You're not dead?! You're really not dead! Your disciple clearly saw you being struck by a sword light just now..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, he heard the Wolf Lord let out a hearty laugh.

"Xiao'er, don't worry! My life is as tough as nails. Those few guys think they can take my life? They're far from it!"

"However, to be honest, those guys were really formidable. I almost lost my life at their hands!"

Although the wolf lord appeared indifferent, the seriousness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Xiao'er, this place is not safe to stay any longer; we must leave immediately!"

"Leave?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes as he looked at the Wolf Lord and asked, "Master, where do you plan to go...?"

The Wolf Lord narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp, and pointed in the direction of the Valley of Immortality, "Let's go to the other side."

"The other side?" Lin Xiao frowned, but quickly realized something and his eyes widened. "Master, you mean... the Apocalypse Continent?"

"That's right!" The Wolf Lord nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face. "Now that the Valley of Longevity is accessible. According to my guess, those four people should be from the Tianqi Continent on the other side. In the future, more and more people from the Tianqi Continent will come here. The Eastern Xuan Continent is no longer safe. In that case, why don't we take the initiative to go to the Tianqi Continent?"

Just as the wolf lord and his companion were preparing to enter the Valley of Immortality,

Among the four elders of the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect who were acting separately, the Second Elder was standing above the "Blackwater Great Swamp," which was once the border between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Lieyang Dynasty.

He looked down at the endless swamp below, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"Strange, I clearly sensed a rather powerful aura here just now... how did it vanish without a trace in the blink of an eye? Could it have deliberately increased its presence after sensing my arrival?"

He immediately snorted coldly and made a dozen or so swirling motions in the air towards the swamp below.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

More than a dozen incredibly sharp sword lights descended from the sky and plunged into the swamp below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

In an instant, dozens of thick pillars of mud shot into the sky, reaching heights of hundreds of feet. The subsequent rain of filthy mud was easily deflected by the three-foot-long protective sword aura surrounding the Second Elder.

At this time,

Behind the Second Elder, from the shadow of the thickest mud pillar, a gigantic mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly emerged without warning!

A foul stench assaulted the senses with incredible speed; the slightest misstep would result in being swallowed whole.

"Hmph, you beast, you finally couldn't hold back!" A glint flashed in the Second Elder's eyes; he seemed to have anticipated this. He didn't turn around, but his figure vanished from the spot, reappearing dozens of meters away in the next instant, simultaneously slashing his sword behind him with a backhand motion!

"sulfuric acid!"

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the sky, and then a massive figure slowly appeared.

It was the same black dragon that had previously caused Xia Jin to suffer.

"I wondered what was playing tricks here," the Second Elder said, squinting at the menacing black dragon, but his eyes showed no fear whatsoever.

"So it's a black dragon that has cultivated for quite some years, quite rare indeed. But alas... a beast is a beast. Today you dare to offend me, so I will take your demon core as punishment for your offense."

"Human...you're courting death!" the black dragon uttered in human language, its lantern-sized eyes filled with rage.

Without another word, it suddenly swung its body, and its demonic power erupted!

In an instant, the world within a ten-mile radius centered on it changed color!

Countless dark clouds converged directly around it, a fierce wind arose, and torrential rain poured down. The black dragon's enormous body appeared and disappeared in the dense clouds and rain.

"Interesting, is it the art of cloud riding?" Upon seeing this, the Second Elder's eyes flashed with a hint of eager anticipation.

He slowly raised his hand, and the longsword behind him flew directly into his hand.

His entire aura changed at that moment. If his aura was like a mountain before, it was now like a wisp of smoke. His whole body was in an unusually relaxed state.

The next moment,

The Second Elder's figure vanished from the spot!

Almost simultaneously, a silver sword light suddenly shone from the dark clouds above the black dragon! The light was so intense that it briefly dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the black dragon's body as it rolled in the clouds.

At that very moment, a fierce light surged in the black dragon's lantern-sized eyes, and an immense sense of crisis arose within it!

Out of instinct, he hurled his massive dragon tail directly at the sword light!

"boom!!!"

The sword light collided violently with the dragon's tail!

The violent shockwave spread wildly, tearing apart the surrounding dark clouds and torrential rain, and even pressing a huge depression into the swamp below, with mud surging wildly in all directions.

"Damn it!!" the black dragon roared in pain.

Seven or eight of the incredibly hard scales on its tail were broken.

"You beast! How many of my swords can you withstand?" The Second Elder looked at the tail on the black dragon's hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
