The strange world of demon cultivators

For the past century, Ji Yao and his two companions had been constantly swept along by the Evil Lord.

During this long period, they had set foot in almost every corner of the Southern Yuan Realm.

In the process, they not only admired the magnificent scenery and unique customs of various places in the Southern Yuan Realm,

but also delved into and learned about many little-known secrets of the Southern Yuan Realm.

However, among the many secrets, the most striking was the extreme instability of the Extraterrestrial Fragment.

This magical fragment seemed to possess its own will, sometimes appearing in Cangzhou Realm,

and sometimes quietly appearing above the terrifying Dead Bone Beach.

Its whereabouts were erratic and elusive.

At the same time, after a long period of observation and feeling, a wonderful intuition gradually grew in the hearts of Ji Yao and the others—that the seemingly vast Southern Yuan Realm,

might itself be composed of a huge fragment.

The world here was not as complete as it seemed on the surface, but rather contained many unsolved mysteries and potential dangers.

And the Sea of No Life, located outside the Dead Bone Beach, was like a natural barrier, isolating the Southern Yuan Realm from the outside world.

This mysterious sea area was like a fragile bubble protecting the realm.

As long as someone stepped out of the Sea of No Life, they would be randomly teleported by an invisible force to some bizarre and remote corners.

Sometimes, people would be lucky enough to land where the Extraterrestrial Fragment was located;

but more often, they were sent to unfamiliar regions they had never even heard of.

During the century of following the Evil Lord, they relied on the strange teleportation power of the Sea of No Life.

They successfully explored one mysterious secret realm after another.

Some of these secret realms hid precious treasures and unparalleled cultivation techniques.

Others were home to various ferocious and terrifying monsters and bizarre traps.

Once, Ji Yao even witnessed an incredible scene in a mysterious secret realm—skyscrapers suspected of belonging to a modern society suddenly stood there.

Although that place had been reduced to gray ashes, and everything was buried under thick ash,

Ji Yao could not possibly mistake the shape of those strange skyscrapers.

However, what was puzzling was that when they had just stepped into that area,

those towering buildings disappeared in the blink of an eye like a mirage!

Leaving behind only ashes flying in the sky like an endless desert.

However, in the past century, their gains had been quite substantial.

They closely followed the Evil Lord's footsteps and set foot in many unknown places.

And the various rare resources in those secret realms, such as spiritual herbs, ores, and spiritual livestock, etc.

The Evil Lord didn't seem to care at all, so these valuable treasures naturally became inexhaustible free resources in their hands.

Not only that, but sometimes the Evil Lord would be generous and grab some priceless treasures for them.

It was thanks to this constant supply of resources and rare training opportunities.

That the three people's cultivation became increasingly refined in this journey of running around and cultivation.

Because of this, compared to others,

it usually takes at least two hundred years to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment after completing Foundation Establishment.

But for them, this time was significantly shortened.

Moreover, generally speaking, many Core Formation stage elders often need to spend a full three hundred years to successfully form their core.

If they can reach the Core Formation stage within just two hundred years,

then they must be a peerless genius with extraordinary talent, or have an earth-shattering stroke of luck.

However, what was unbelievable was that these three people had actually cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in just a hundred years while running around non-stop!

Not only that, but they also faintly exuded the aura of about to form their core.

There is no doubt that the Evil Lord's strong assistance was indispensable behind this.

If they had blindly groped on their own, there would have been no way they could have made such amazing progress.

Back then, when the three of them successfully established their foundation, the Evil Lord personally went to the Myriad Immortals Devil Sect.

Sure enough, before long, he easily solved the soul imprint problem that had plagued them for a long time.

But at the same time, the three keenly noticed that the Evil Lord's complexion was not good after this return.

However, this time the Evil Lord did not reveal a single word to them, but only kept speeding up the pace of collecting fragments.

Faced with this situation, the three secretly speculated that the Evil Lord must have encountered some serious threat in the Myriad Immortals Devil Sect.

Otherwise, with his usual style, it would have been impossible for him to be so silent.

…………

At this moment, Ji Yao widened his eyes and stared intently at the Yama Mirror that had already taken on a complete form.

A strong throbbing suddenly surged in his heart.

This throbbing feeling was so familiar, as if it had brought him back to the shocking plane crash many years ago.

At that time, the fear of being on the verge of death had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

And now, the same feeling came again, making him shudder.

This sudden fright made Ji Yao instantly realize that he was facing an unprecedented crisis.

A layer of fine sweat had unknowingly oozed from his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.

He saw the Evil Lord not far away gently wave his sleeve, and the Yama Mirror flew back to his hand as if summoned.

The Evil Lord stared blankly at the vague, looming scene of hell in the mirror, and remained silent.

Time passed by, and the surrounding atmosphere became more and more solemn and oppressive, as if even the air had frozen.

Ji Yao and the other two brothers standing aside had already been frightened by the Evil Lord's long silence.

They looked at each other, their eyes revealing undisguised fear and anxiety.

Ji Yao took a deep breath and quietly moved his feet back.

At the same time, he secretly circulated the power in his body, ready to run away from this place at any time.

At the same time, the other two brothers also understood and followed Ji Yao's actions, quietly gathering momentum.

Not only that, but even his mother, who had been hiding in Ji Jingran's Soul Burning Lamp.

Although she had successfully recovered to her peak state before, she did not dare to take it lightly in the face of such a strange situation.

She carefully controlled the Soul Burning Lamp, always ready to seize the opportunity to slip away.

Speaking of the Gu worms that had once caused everyone so much suffering, they had been swallowed up by the powerful Soul Burning Lamp power and disappeared without a trace shortly after the mother woke up.

However, the crisis they were encountering now was obviously much more terrifying than the Gu worms.

With a little carelessness, everyone might fall into a situation of eternal doom.

I wonder if the Evil Lord has noticed anything?

For so long, the Evil Lord has never asked a single question about this key issue.

Not only that, but even the two most powerful magic treasures that the Evil Lord regarded as treasures.

At this moment, he took them out without hesitation and handed them over to the three people to take care of them separately.

One was the Black Sacred Lotus growing in the terrifying pool of flesh and blood, exuding bursts of evil aura;

the other was the Vermilion Blood Shore Flower that had once knocked down the Supreme Elder, and its power was unimaginable!

Knowing that their current situation was extremely dangerous, the three people knew in their hearts that this trip was likely to be a narrow escape from death.

But even so, they still held the determination to die, and no matter what, they had to find a way to escape from the control of the Evil Lord.

Even if only a wisp of remnant soul remained in the end, it would be better than completely becoming a plaything and sacrifice in the hands of the Evil Lord.

Because their mother had solemnly told them:

If they were defeated and died.

She would use a secret method to extract their souls and inject them into the magical Soul Burning Lamp.

Immediately afterwards, with the incredible power of the Soul Burning Lamp, they would cross layers of spatial obstacles and instantly escape far away.

However, although only a short quarter of an hour had actually passed.

But for the three people in the extremely tense atmosphere, it seemed as if they had spent a long time.

At this moment, the Evil Lord, who had been silent all the time, finally seemed to have come back to his senses.

He slowly turned his head and stared at Ji Yao with piercing eyes.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a creepy smile.

"I really didn't expect that in the end, I would still be deceived by you!"

The Evil Lord's voice was cold and bone-piercing, like the cold wind from the Nine Nether Hells, making people tremble all over.

When Ji Yao heard these words, his whole body was struck by lightning and he froze in place.

His mind was blank, completely unable to understand everything that was happening in front of him.

However, before he could recover from this shock.

The next sentence that the Evil Lord said was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, setting off a huge wave.

He saw the Evil Lord's eyes widen in anger, and he roared through gritted teeth:

"Yama Mirror! Yama Mirror! You really know how to hide!" The voice was deafening, as if it wanted to penetrate the clouds.
