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

Xia Jin, in her avatar, gazed at the slowly dissipating light of the teleportation array below, but did not rush to chase after it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he gently shook his head and muttered to himself, "No rush. Since the main body deliberately prevented me from taking action and allowed those two to lead him to the Dark Land, it must have a plan. If I rashly pursue them, it might disrupt the main body's scheme."

Having said that, he glanced around and found a large, still intact rock in the void that had been ravaged by the axe blow. With a swift movement, he sat cross-legged on it. He slowly closed his eyes and began to rapidly recover his strength.

The "Opening Heaven" move just now was so powerful that it completely killed Chi Chanhuang, the Dark Ancestor who had lived for countless millennia, in a single strike. Such an astonishing achievement naturally came at an extremely high price.

That single, powerful axe strike consumed nearly 30% of his strength.

"No rush."

"It's not too late to go to that dark place after my main body sends back a message. By then, my power should have fully recovered, and I'll be more confident in making my move."

At the same time,

On the other side of the Boundless Sea, in the deepest part of the Dark Land, in the Endless Abyss.

The void suddenly distorted!

Two enormous figures emerged from the distorted spatial passage, pulling a three-sided cone-shaped dark barrier along with them!

The dark energy surged wildly, and the three-sided cone-shaped dark barrier slowly fell to the ground.

"Phew! I'm finally back!"

The enormous body of Garuda slowly descended from the void, its eight arms slightly outstretched, stepping onto the altar below. The tension that had been building up finally eased a bit.

His empty head, devoid of facial features, tilted slightly upwards, sensing the dense darkness around him, releasing a greedy emotion.

He pressed all eight of his arms down onto the altar below at the same time.

In an instant, the altar lit up!

Countless streams of dark energy, so thick they were almost liquid, surged out from beneath the altar like black rivers, continuously flowing into the bodies of the two dark progenitors, Jia Ye Luo and Mo Luo Xu!

The power they had used to suppress Xia Jin on the Boundless Sea was rapidly replenishing itself at a visible speed, and even their slightly disordered auras became as steady as a mountain again in just a few breaths.

The enormous, fleshy ball-like body of Moro Ruins slowly descended to the other side of the altar, its hundreds of tentacles still clinging to the dark barrier.

"Although Chi Chanhuang is missing, the speed of refining this person will inevitably be much slower..."

His voice came from inside the fleshy mass, carrying a hint of sharpness.

"But at least here, in this dark land, our power is inexhaustible, and we can replenish it immediately whenever it is depleted."

"Refining this human is only a matter of time. Once we've completely refined him into our power, we'll proceed to suppress that mythical being!"

"That's right!!" Around Jia Yelu's face, which had no features, the dark energy surged even more violently, as if outlining an invisible smiling face.

"This universe will ultimately fall into the hands of our Dark Lands!! Hahahaha!!"

Within the dark barrier, Xia Jin showed no sign of panic.

"Is this the deepest part of the Dark Land? This place is indeed completely different from the outside world! It's filled with a nauseating aura. Sooner or later, I will utterly destroy this place!!"

Xia Jin sneered inwardly, then calmly surveyed her surroundings.

All around them was an intense, suffocating aura of darkness.

A few breaths later, his gaze fell upon the altar beneath his feet.

From the very beginning, he could clearly sense that all the dark energy in the entire dark land was converging towards the depths of the altar at an extremely slow but steady pace.

A glint of light flashed in Xia Jin's eyes.

"Could it be... that the true core of this dark land is hidden beneath this altar?"

His gaze sharpened, as if trying to pierce through the thick black stone and reach the depths of the altar.

Just then,

On the altar, the empty, faceless head of Jia Ye Luo suddenly turned towards Xia Jin. Even without any facial features, it still gave people the illusion that it was staring at them.

"Human! Now that you've arrived in this endless abyss of darkness, you should understand that no one can save you here. Accept your fate!"

He simultaneously raised all eight arms slightly, and dark energy condensed into eight enormous black pillars of light around him, radiating an extremely terrifying pressure as they slowly pressed down on Xia Jin within the dark barrier.

Xia Jin suddenly smiled.

"Is that so? You just lost a Dark Primordial, and now only the two of you remain. Do you really think that the two of you combined can trap me?"

Jiayaluo's empty face stiffened slightly, then he sneered, "Sharp tongue? Go ahead and try if you dare!"

Xia Jin's lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Very well!! Then I'll give it a try."

He glanced at the ancient and imposing Eastern Emperor Bell beside him.

"Your dark barrier can absorb my attacks and then use them against me. But I wonder if it could do the same with sound waves."

Xia Jin suddenly slammed her fist hard onto the Eastern Emperor Bell next to her!

"Thump!!!"

A loud bell rang out!

Immediately afterwards, a golden sound wave, visible to the naked eye, spread wildly out from the surface of the Eastern Emperor Bell!

However, strangely enough...

Just as the sound wave was about to touch the inner wall of the dark barrier, it suddenly vanished without warning!

It's as if half of it just disappeared.

Garuda's empty face turned slightly, as if he had noticed something amiss.

Sure enough, the next second,

The vanished sound wave reappeared outside the dark barrier!
