I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched the five little ones in his palm—

With a burst of spiritual energy, he formed a ball, and with a flick of his arm, a pulling force came from the direction of the rear hall.

"Go, unveil the mystery!"

Xu Nanyi did a 360-degree flip in mid-air.

Amidst the wind pressure, the storage bag in her arms automatically split open, releasing four magical artifacts that shot into the sky, radiating different colored lights. They faced off against the fist-sized dreamlike water mirror on the altar in the rear hall, and five beams of light lit up simultaneously.

The magical artifact began to spin, faster and faster, and a tremendous suction force erupted from the center of the water mirror.

Before Xu Nanyi could transform back into human form, she felt herself and everyone around her being swallowed up by that force.

Finally, a childish, exasperated voice came from inside the water mirror.

"Old Deng! I'll definitely be back!"

Poseidon was taken aback. Oh no, he forgot to tie them together; they went in loose.

He sighed and stuffed the last half of the spirit fruit into his mouth.

Well, we're already in, mission accomplished.

First, hide the tribute fruit.

The Dreamy Water Mirror swallowed the last ray of light, let out a burp, and vanished into thin air.

At the same moment, the entire Dreamland Temple began to tremble.

As the seabed churned and corals shattered, a crystal palace, its entire body sparkling, slowly rose from the depths of the ocean.

On the sea.

As Xu Yuan was sitting cross-legged and floating in mid-air, he suddenly sensed an unusual movement in the sea beneath his feet.

She looked down and saw that the palace her daughter had entered was rising from the sea.

Strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth; the clouds surged and golden light broke through the clouds and descended.

"This isn't..." Xu Yuan's expression changed.

Beside him, Shen Jiuyuan had just finished absorbing the Blood Sea Dragon Fungus and recovered to the Tribulation Transcending Realm. His perception covered a radius of a hundred miles, and he immediately locked onto the center of the anomaly.

"What happened?" he asked, looking at Xu Yuan. "Didn't the children just go in?"

Hai Zhaoyue turned to the priest beside her: "Priest! What's going on?!"

The old priest made a hand gesture with trembling fingers.

Suddenly, a patch of clouds in the sky parted, and golden light condensed into six large characters, which floated prominently above everyone's heads.

[Ten-year indefinite labor contract]

The sea was still for three seconds.

My wish: Where is my child?

Shen Jiuyuan: This is the child I gave birth to myself!

The priest chuckled and took two steps back.

"Seniors... well, this old man is only responsible for calculations, nothing else..."

On the sea, the Crystal Palace fully emerged from the water, and above the main gate of the palace, a line of small characters appeared.

Xu Yuan squinted as he looked over.

[Entry is voluntary; consequences are borne by the individual. Those who steal the tribute fruit will have their punishment period doubled.]

Make a wish: "..."

the other side.

Above the Demon Cave, the sky cracked open, and a dark purple vortex was torn open out of thin air.

"ah--"

Two figures were ejected from the vortex, one gold and one black, and crashed to the ground like two marbles.

Xu Nanyi landed on the ground with the back of her head first.

pain.

She bounced twice on the gravel ground before coming to a stop, her head buzzing and her ears filled with the sound of wind.

Three steps away, Shen Xizhou lay face down, the little dragon's tail still twitching.

fainted.

Xu Nanyi rubbed the back of her head and got up, glancing around.

The demonic aura was so thick it was impossible to dispel.

Dark purple mist swirled along the ground, the sky above was a narrow slit, and towering stone walls rose into the clouds on either side. The ground beneath their feet was barren, and the rock surfaces were covered with dark red veins, like dried-up blood vessels.

wrong.

This is not the seabed.

A sharp whistling sound came from the depths of the canyon.

Before Xu Nanyi could react, the gust of wind arrived. The black gale, carrying visible blades of demonic energy, whistled past the stone wall.

The fluffy little wing was a beat too slow and was cut open, with a thin line of blood immediately seeping out, making her gasp in pain.

We can't stay outside!

Xu Nanyi, carrying Shen Xizhou in her mouth, dragged him into a crevice in the rocks beside them. The crevice was just big enough for her and her brother to squeeze in, and the fierce wind outside howled past the opening.

It's safe now, for the time being.

Shen Xizhou was woken up by her pulling on his dragon horns. He shook his head and looked around blankly with his vertical pupils.

"Sister..."

Xiao Long's voice was still dazed, "Where are Xiao Shitou and the others?"

Xu Nanyi leaned against the stone wall and caught her breath: "They must have been scattered by the spatial rift."

Shen Xizhou said "Oh," peeked out through the crack, and the next second his entire dragon was swept away by a gale—

Xu Nanyi bit the tip of his tail, kicked against the stone wall, and forcefully pulled him back.

"It hurts—"

Xu Nanyi pushed him further in, saying, "You dare to stick your head out? You're asking for trouble!"

Shen Xizhou curled up in a ball, feeling wronged, his tail wrapped around his dragon horns, too afraid to move.

The two of them huddled in the crevice of the rocks and waited.

About half an incense stick's time had passed.

The howling outside subsided.

Xu Nanyi poked half her head out, squinting as she looked outside. The gale was still there, but the intervals had become longer, and its power had decreased from "slicing flesh" to "scraping gua sha".

Shen Xizhou, who had just emerged from behind, suddenly became serious and said, "Reporting to Sister, the wind speed around us has decreased; we can proceed."

Xu Nanyi waved her hand: "Go forward."

A six-year-old girl and a half-meter-long dragon walked along the rock wall into the depths of the canyon.

Every few dozen breaths a gust of wind would blow in, and they would crouch down against the stone wall, waiting for the wind to pass before continuing. They walked and stopped for about fifteen minutes.

There is no road ahead.

The two stone walls meet here, like a closed door.

Xu Nanyi looked up and saw a layer of dark purple gale-force winds stretching across the sky about thirty feet above the canyon, spinning and hissing.

Even if a cultivator at the Mahayana realm rushed up, they would be minced into mincemeat.

They couldn't fly out; ahead lay a dead end, and behind them stretched an endless corridor of fierce winds.

Xu Nanyi sat on a rock, tilted her head back, and took a deep breath.

"What the hell is this place?!"

The sound echoed through the canyon, repeating three or four times.

Then a scythe flew past her scalp.

The wind lifted the stray hairs from her forehead.

Xu Nanyi's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could turn her head, a figure rushed over in her peripheral vision, his fist slamming into her face with a powerful gust of wind.

The boy, barely ten years old, was covered in wounds and dressed in rags, but he struck decisively and ruthlessly without the slightest hesitation.

Xu Nanyi didn't have time to think. She crossed her arms and raised them in front of her, taking the hit with all her might.

"boom--"

The fist struck her palm, the force traveling up her arm and throughout her body. The gravel beneath her feet cracked, and she took a step back.

She closed her fingers, enveloping the other person's fist, and with a burst of power from her waist, swept her back kick with the same full force, striking the other person's face.

The boy's body flew backward and crashed into the stone wall, scattering rubble and leaving a human-shaped crater in the wall.

"You dare to ambush me! You don't even know how many strokes are in the word 'death'?"

Shen Xizhou had already brandished his whip, rushed to the wall in a few steps, and lashed it out.

The boy in the stone pit raised his face, and Shen Xizhou's hand holding the whip froze in mid-air.

"A giant bug?!"
