All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

The other three also reacted very quickly.

They all rushed forward and sat cross-legged around the bronze statue.

Each of them channeled their evil energy, frantically absorbing the power of the bronze statue.

They paid no attention to the three people from Yaoguang beside them, nor to Shen Jianxin and Yuemeng.

Their only goal was that bronze statue.

As long as you can absorb the power of the bronze statue and gain entry, everything else is irrelevant.

They were disturbed by the commotion of the others.

Yao Guang, Wen Yan, and Wen Xuyan were instantly jolted awake from their focused state.

The three of them suddenly opened their eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in them.

Subconsciously, he circulated the evil energy within his body, preparing for battle.

His gaze was fixed on the seven people who had suddenly appeared.

But when they saw that the four people were simply focused on absorbing the power of the bronze statue.

There was no intention to attack them, nor any attempt to seize the bronze statue.

The wariness in his eyes eased slightly.

Wen Yan frowned and whispered to Yao Guang, "Brother Yao Guang, who are they?"

"Are they here to absorb the power of the bronze statue as well?"

Yao Guang remained silent.

His gaze slowly swept over the four people, finally settling on Shen Jianxin and Yue Meng.

The moment he saw Shen Jianxin, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His body stiffened slightly.

He never expected to meet Shen Jianxin here!

What surprised him even more was that Shen Jianxin's aura was much more composed than it had been during the sect competition.

He was still at the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Breaking Realm, but the devouring power around him had become increasingly condensed.

There was a subtle, unsettling sense of oppression about it.

Clearly, Shen Jianxin has also grown considerably during this period.

Shen Jianxin was slightly taken aback when he saw Yao Guang.

Then, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He could clearly sense that within the bodies of Yaoguang, Wenyan, and Wenxuyan, there remained a trace of a familiar soul fragment.

Those are fragments of the Sentinel's soul!

Clearly, the three members of Yaoguang were in the same boat as him.

I've been secretly investigating, searching for a way home.

Shen Jianxin was about to speak, wanting to say something to Yao Guang.

Even just a glance.

But at that moment, Yao Guang shook her head slightly.

His eyes held a subtle reminder, and he blinked rapidly at the same time.

Shen Jianxin understood instantly.

Yao Guang was reminding him to pretend they didn't know each other!

There were four other people present.

If they knew that he had known Yao Guang and the other two for a long time, it would probably arouse their suspicion.

They might even treat them as a whole and be wary of them.

Subsequent actions will become even more complicated.

Shen Jianxin calmly withdrew his gaze.

His face regained its composure, just as it had been when he first met Yao Guang and the other two.

He didn't say anything more, but silently walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.

While seemingly resting, he was actually still secretly observing everyone's movements.

Yuemeng also noticed something amiss.

Without asking any further questions, he silently sat down next to Shen Jianxin.

Yao Guang saw that Shen Jianxin understood her meaning, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes again, and continued to absorb the power of the bronze statue.

However, he never truly relaxed.

While absorbing the power, he secretly kept an eye on Shen Jianxin and Yue Meng's movements.

At the same time, they were also observing the condition of the four people.

Wen Yan and Wen Xuyan were unaware of the secret between Shen Jianxin and Yao Guang.

But I also sensed the subtle tension in the atmosphere.

Without asking any further questions, he closed his eyes again and focused on absorbing the power of the bronze statue.

After all, such an opportunity is extremely rare.

The more power you can absorb, the more your strength will increase.

In this perilous realm of evil gods, there is a greater chance of survival.

On the altar, eight people were divided into two groups.

Each of them was absorbing power around the bronze statue.

The atmosphere was unusually eerie.

No one spoke, only the faint sound of fel energy flowing and the heavy breathing of each person.

Time slips away, little by little.

The pink hue emanating from the bronze statue faded over time.

The dark red halo was also gradually weakening.

Clearly, the power within the statue was being rapidly absorbed by the eight people.

The four people absorbed power at an exceptionally fast speed.

Especially the cold-faced man at the head, who was a high-level cultivator who had broken through the barrier.

His efficiency in absorbing power far surpasses that of others.

His aura was also slowly increasing, showing a faint trend of breaking through to the eighth level of the Breaking Realm.

The three members of Yaoguang were also absorbing power at a considerable speed.

The demonic power within Yao Guang's body merged with the evil energy of the bronze statue, becoming increasingly concentrated.

His cultivation level has also steadily improved, getting closer and closer to breaking through to the seventh level.

Wen Yan and Wen Xuyan also benefited greatly.

The evil energy within the body became more solidified.

His cultivation level is also about to break through to the sixth level of the Breaking Realm.

Shen Jianxin and Yue Meng did not actively try to seize the power of the bronze statue.

It simply absorbs the residual energy that dissipates in the air.

The demonic aura within Yue Meng's body grew increasingly thick, and its devouring power became even more violent.

Although Shen Jianxin absorbed not much energy, the devouring power within his body was nourished and became more refined.

Just as Shen Jian was pondering.

"Buzz—"

A deep humming sound emanated from within the bronze statue.

The bronze statue, which had been emitting a faint light, instantly lost all its luster.

It became dull and lifeless, and fine cracks gradually appeared on its surface.

Then, with a "crack," it shattered completely.

It turned into countless tiny copper pieces, scattered all over the ground.

It was instantly devoured by the surrounding evil energy.

The bronze statue in this area has also been completely absorbed.

All eight people opened their eyes at the same time.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in everyone's eyes.

Clearly, they all benefited greatly after absorbing the power of the bronze statue.

The aloof man at the head of the group slowly stood up.

After stretching his muscles and bones, the evil energy within his body began to surge slightly.

It exudes a more composed and domineering aura.

He glanced at the seven people present and slowly began to speak.

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "Let's go, it's time to head to the temple and participate in the sacred examination."

He paused, then continued, "In any case, the eight of us are now considered a team."

"In this sacred examination, we must support and care for one another."

"Let's be clear from the start, we don't aspire to inherit the position of Realm Lord."

"I'll be satisfied as long as I can get enough benefits from this assessment."

At this point, his tone became more serious.

A hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes: "The position of the Lord of the Demon Realm is not so easy to seize; it is far too dangerous."

"Right now, there are too many cultivators at the eighth level of the Breakthrough Realm who are watching."

"Even some powerful beings at the ninth level of the Realm Breakthrough are secretly lurking, wanting to compete for the position of Realm Lord."

"With our limited strength, rashly engaging in battle would only lead to our deaths."

Greed?

Shen Jianxin and Yue Meng both felt a sudden stirring in their hearts.

It turns out that those bronze statues were left behind by the greedy demon, who was on par with the demon of anger!

Anger, greed...

A guess instantly formed in Shen Jianxin's mind.

If there are demons of anger and greed, then is there also demon of ignorance?

After all, anger, greed, and ignorance are the three poisons.

If this were a plane of evil gods, it wouldn't be surprising to find these three powerful evil gods present.

Moreover, considering all the previous signs, Shen Jianxin became even more certain of his guess.

Yao Guang must be the successor of the Demon of Anger!

After all, during the sect competition, Chenmo's protection of Yaoguang was far too obvious.

If he were not the heir, how could he possibly receive such special treatment from the Demon of Anger?

As for Yue Meng, having absorbed the complete Greed Demon Bronze Statue, the Greed Demon aura within her body was the purest.

Clearly, he is the successor candidate chosen by the greedy demon.

It seems I must find a way to help Yue Meng obtain the right to inherit the Greed Demon's throne.

The appearance of the three Yao Guangs was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for him.

The power of the demonic aura within Yao Guang's body was exceptionally strong.

Moreover, during the sect competition, he was clearly protected by the Demon of Anger.

All signs indicate that Yao Guang is very likely the successor of Chen Mo.

As for Yue Meng, having absorbed the complete bronze female statue, the demonic energy within her was the purest.

Clearly, it has gained the approval of the greedy demon.

If we can help Yuemeng obtain the right to inherit the Greed Demon's mantle.

Therefore, they would have an extra powerful backer in the realm of evil gods.

The problem is that the right to inherit the throne will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of countless people.

He himself was only at the sixth level of the Breaking Realm.

Moon Dream is only at the seventh level of the Breakthrough Realm.

Even when the two joined forces, they seemed somewhat powerless against those formidable opponents.

Especially just now, the cold-faced man mentioned that many cultivators at the eighth or even ninth level of the Realm Breakthrough are eyeing the position of Realm Lord of the Greedy Demon.

Given their combined strength, it would be a pipe dream for them to compete for the inheritance.

"It seems we must join forces with the three members of the Yao Guang faction."

Shen Jianxin thought to himself.

"Yao Guang is likely the successor of the Demon of Anger. After devouring the bronze statue, his strength also reached the seventh level of the Breaking Realm."

"Wen Yan and Wen Xuyan, after devouring the bronze statue, were both at the sixth level of the Breaking Realm."

"With the three of us working together, plus Yue Meng and me, we can even put up a fight against a cultivator at the eighth level of the Breaking Realm."

"At least, they have the ability to protect themselves."

Moreover, the three members of Yaoguang each possess fragments of the Sentinel's soul.

Clearly, it also has intricate connections with Earth.

By uniting with them, we can not only increase our strength, but perhaps also obtain more secrets about Earth transmigrators and the evil god plane from them.

However, with those four people present, it's inconvenient to communicate with Yaoguang and the other two.

They could only wait for the right opportunity to secretly contact each other and express their intentions.

But the more Shen Jianxin thought about it, the more immense the pressure he felt.

He dares not use the Devourer's ability at all now, for fear of reactivating the second personality that he had finally managed to suppress.

That second personality is brutal and bloodthirsty. Once awakened, it will not only go out of control and hurt people, but may even devour his original personality.

At that point, let alone helping Yuemeng fight for the inheritance, he himself might not even be able to protect himself.
