Chapter 721 The Dark Rise

At this moment, the two of them attacked Yun Fan together, and it was a completely one-sided affair.

When facing the dual assault, Yun Fan retreated to the side, but the two showed no intention of giving up, relentlessly pressing their attack.

The full-force assault of two powerhouses at the sixth realm of Heavenly Mandate, especially being top-tier prodigies, was truly terrifying.

It could be said that in their current state, unless super-experts like Ning Tianxue and Qin Ying appeared, no one could defeat their combined might.

"Kid, are you scared? Don't you even dare to fight back!"

"Exactly!"

The two were filled with hatred; under their joint assault, this fellow actually chose to retreat.

The crucial point was that they couldn't do anything to the constantly fleeing Yun Fan, which made them incredibly angry.

Unexpectedly, Yun Fan declared directly, "You've finished your attack, now it's my turn!"

There was a reason he chose to evade combat earlier.

He needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of both of them before engaging.

Now that he had a good grasp, Yun Fan began his assault, throwing a punch at Ya Fei.

Ya Fei's expression changed, and she quickly dodged. Fortunately, at this moment, the Ice Snow Divine King came to her rescue, unaware that this was precisely the effect Yun Fan desired.

As expected, Yun Fan suddenly pivoted and launched a full-force counter-attack against the Ice Snow Divine King, landing a palm strike directly on his flank.

"Ouch!"

The Ice Snow Divine King cried out in pain, clutching his side and cursing Yun Fan, utterly baffled as to why Yun Fan specifically targeted that spot.

Ya Fei swiftly moved to reinforce him, but it was too late.

Yun Fan transformed into an invincible battle dragon and directly repelled Ya Fei.

Just as Ya Fei was about to unleash her full power, Yun Fan swiftly condensed a sharp blade and held it to her throat.

"Don't move!"

Yun Fan declared triumphantly, "You lost!"

At this moment, both Ya Fei and the Ice Snow Divine King's expressions turned extremely grim.

Qin Wuyang and Bing'er, who were observing, showed expressions of disbelief. They had lost?

Although Yun Fan's victory had an element of opportunistic maneuvering, it was undeniable that Yun Fan had indeed won.

If this had been a battle to the death, Yun Fan, even if unable to kill them both outright, could have taken them down with him at the cost of his own life.

"Winning is winning, what's the big deal!"

Ya Fei said, "My man should be this strong!"

The Ice Snow Divine King, however, was in an awkward position, having lost face in front of his beloved Bing'er.

But he had to admit that Yun Fan had won.

Originally, the three were sparring, not engaging in a fight to the death, so Yun Fan's victory was without suspense.

"Shut up!"

Yun Fan was exasperated; Ya Fei was clearly clinging to him.

He then announced, "I won, so the runes on this giant monument are mine!"

It wasn't yet time for the runes to appear, but the formidable Yun Fan had already achieved victory, and the spoils were his.

Unexpectedly, Ya Fei directly stated, "Actually, even if you had lost, I would have given you the runes as a token of our love!"

"No, I don't want it!"

Yun Fan was speechless. He planned to leave with Qin Wuyang; if this continued, he would be driven to collapse by Ya Fei's persistence.

"Whether you want it or not, it's decided!"

Ya Fei declared, "I've set my sights on you, and you can't escape!"

"Uh..."

Yun Fan was truly at a loss for words.

Fortunately, the Ice Snow Divine King stepped forward to mediate.

The Ice Snow Divine King proposed, "Fellow Daoists, why don't we form an alliance and wreak havoc in this Pangu Heavenly Domain?"

"No!"

Both Yun Fan and Ya Fei refused outright. What a joke; they were both proud individuals, how could they form an alliance?

This left the Ice Snow Divine King feeling extremely awkward. Refusing was one thing, but stating it so bluntly? Didn't he have any dignity?

At this point, Ya Fei turned to Yun Fan and said, "Little man, I've fallen for you. Even if you leave now, I'll still find you!"

"What good will finding me do?"

Yun Fan retorted, "I certainly won't let you succeed!"

With that, fearing Ya Fei would chase after him, he directly swept Qin Wuyang away. If he couldn't defeat her, he could at least avoid her.

"Damn it!"

Although Ya Fei was furious, she still issued a parting threat, "I will have you!"

At this moment, the Ice Snow Divine King approached. "Fellow Daoist, why don't we share this rune together?"

Since the strongest competitor, Yun Fan, had already left, he directly proposed to share it with Ya Fei.

Unexpectedly, Ya Fei flatly refused, "Dream on, impossible!"

"You..."

The Ice Snow Divine King was angered, but he was a magnanimous person and didn't press the issue of sharing with Ya Fei.

He could only watch as the rune appeared and was taken away by Ya Fei.

"Young Master, let's go too!"

Bing'er knew that her Young Master was utterly frustrated, but she couldn't expose it, lest it displease him.

The Ice Snow Divine King said, "Let's go! Sooner or later, we will defeat them!"

This was the source of the Ice Snow Divine King's confidence.

His strength was comparable to Ya Fei's, but he was no match for Yun Fan.

He couldn't understand why such a formidable existence had appeared in this Pangu Heavenly Domain.

Without a doubt, Yun Fan was the protagonist of this Pangu Heavenly Domain's opening, his brilliance overshadowing both him and Ya Fei.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a surge of dark power swept in.

"Not good!"

The Ice Snow Divine King shoved Bing'er aside.

Despite unleashing his full power against this dark force, he was repelled by it.

This was a testament to the immense power of this dark energy.

"Young Master!"

Bing'er rushed forward, only to be swept up by the dark force.

"Bing'er!"

The Ice Snow Divine King unleashed his ice and snow power, briefly freezing the dark energy and successfully rescuing Bing'er.

However, the dark force quickly broke through his ice seal.

With no other choice, the Ice Snow Divine King pushed Bing'er outside his domain.

"Young Master!"

Bing'er's expression contorted with despair at this unexpected turn of events.

"Go quickly and find them for help, don't mind me!"

After saying these words, the Ice Snow Divine King was completely engulfed by darkness.

Such an unexpected event was utterly unforeseen.

At this very moment, the great monument that had stood for countless epochs shattered into pieces.

Yun Fan and Qin Wuyang were preparing to head to the next treasure-hunting location when, unexpectedly, Bing'er rushed after them in a panic.

"You again?"

Yun Fan recognized Bing'er as the Ice Snow Divine King's concubine.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, please, quickly save my Young Master!"

"What happened to him?"

Yun Fan asked, confused. Qin Wuyang also looked puzzled, wondering if Ya Fei had clashed with the Ice Snow Divine King again after they left.

And then the Ice Snow Divine King was severely beaten by Ya Fei?

Bing'er quickly replied, "The darkness has broken free!"

"What?"

Qin Wuyang's expression changed. The so-called darkness was from the dark ages.

Yun Fan, on the other hand, was utterly bewildered.

"Should we go save him?"

Yun Fan asked Qin Wuyang.

Qin Wuyang replied, "Darkness is the common enemy of us cultivators. Since it has appeared, we should lend a hand!"

It could only be said that Qin Wuyang had a grander perspective; at this moment, she chose to help.

"Alright!"

Yun Fan nodded.

The three immediately turned back. When they arrived before the giant monument, they found that the towering monument had already shattered, and the entire area was engulfed in darkness.

As the three walked through the darkness, they felt a prickling sensation on their scalps.

This darkness appeared harmless, but Yun Fan knew it was anything but simple; sometimes, the seemingly least dangerous things were the most perilous.

As expected, at this moment, a figure emerged from the darkness, completely corrupted by it.

"Ice Snow Divine King!"

Yun Fan recognized him instantly.

"Young Master!"

Bing'er wanted to rush forward, but Qin Wuyang held her back at the critical moment.

Qin Wuyang said, "He has lost his mind!"

"What should we do?"

Bing'er despaired. After all, her Young Master was on a different level than her, but he liked her and had never abandoned her.

She had planned to become dao companions after this trial, but unexpectedly, this had happened.

At this moment, Yun Fan stepped forward.

"Ice Snow Divine King, don't you remember me?"

The Ice Snow Divine King gave Yun Fan a cold glance and then rasped, "Prey, you are all my prey!"

"Seeking death!"

Yun Fan prepared to subdue the Ice Snow Divine King first, and then see if he could be saved.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Snow Divine King also unleashed his ice and snow power, but it was no longer the pure white energy but had transformed into dark power.

Dark Ice and Snow Power was an absolutely terrifying existence.

With a single move, he forced Yun Fan back, considering that before, he was not as powerful as Yun Fan.

But now, with the Ice and Snow Power, he had the upper hand, thoroughly suppressing Yun Fan.

The battle was incredibly fierce, and Yun Fan finally felt the terrifying nature of dark power.

Although Qin Wuyang and Bing'er also assisted Yun Fan, they were still at a significant disadvantage. It could only be said that the Ice Snow Divine King was too formidable.

No one knew the origin of this dark power, but it was undeniably a difficult challenge.

*Bang!*

With a full-force strike from the Ice Snow Divine King, Yun Fan was sent flying.

Bing'er and Qin Wuyang were almost knocked unconscious.

"I refuse to believe your so-called darkness is truly invincible!"

Yun Fan roared in anger.

The next moment, he unleashed his peak power, manifesting as golden light, and engaged in a fierce battle with the dark Ice Snow Divine King.

Even Yun Fan didn't know the outcome of this battle, but he knew that if he didn't go all out now, there would be no future opportunities.

After Yun Fan's repeated relentless assaults, he finally managed to break free from the situation of being at a disadvantage.

"Blood Boiling attribute!"

Yun Fan desperately wanted to know if his Heaven-Shattering Bloodline could counter darkness, so he directly unleashed it upon the Ice Snow Divine King.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the flames ignited, they were extinguished by the darkness. The fact was that his Heaven-Shattering Bloodline did not counter darkness.

Yun Fan's scalp tingled; if this were the case, then this battle would have no suspense.

He was doomed to lose.

Therefore, at this moment, he wanted to take the two women and leave, but unexpectedly, the darkness had already sealed off their surroundings.

"Heh heh!"

The dark Ice Snow Divine King let out a sinister laugh, as if telling Yun Fan to stop struggling, for they would all become his prey.

Yun Fan gasped.

"How did past experts resolve such powerful darkness?"

Yun Fan asked Qin Wuyang, after all, Qin Wuyang's ancestor, the Spirit Martial Heavenly Venerate, had suppressed an era of darkness.

Qin Wuyang replied, "I've consulted many records, and there seem to be no shortcuts, only a direct confrontation!"

"Direct confrontation?"

Yun Fan was speechless. He wasn't unfamiliar with direct confrontation, but with the countless reinforcements of dark energy, he simply couldn't compete.

Even his pride, the Heaven-Shattering Bloodline, had become useless here.

For Yun Fan, this was undoubtedly a tragic moment.

It seemed that the three of them were doomed today.

Just as the dark Ice Snow Divine King unleashed his full power, suddenly, someone broke through the darkness and forcibly entered.

It was none other than Ya Fei.

"Why are you here?"

Yun Fan quickly asked.

Ya Fei replied, "After sensing the darkness, I came to help!"

"This darkness is too terrifying, it's impossible to suppress!"

Yun Fan explained the situation to Ya Fei, stating that even his own power couldn't counter the darkness.

But Ya Fei said, "Your Heaven-Shattering power can counter darkness, it just hasn't been strengthened yet!"

"So you already knew I possessed Heaven-Shattering power?"

Yun Fan looked at Ya Fei sheepishly.

"Nonsense!"

Ya Fei scoffed, "Do you really think I'm an idiot? Enough talk, hurry up and refine the rune. I'll hold them off for you in the meantime!"

"Alright!"

Although Yun Fan didn't understand why Ya Fei insisted on him refining the rune, he would try anything that had an effect.

As he was refining the rune, Ya Fei actively engaged, clashing head-on with the dark Ice Snow Divine King with her domineering strength.

Although Qin Wuyang and Bing'er were already in a precarious situation, they still went all out to help Ya Fei share the burden.

The dark Ice Snow Divine King wore a playful smile; clearly, he didn't take Ya Fei seriously.

By the time Yun Fan had mostly finished refining, he discovered that Ya Fei was already seriously injured, and Qin Wuyang and Bing'er had nearly lost half their lives.

In contrast, the dark Ice Snow Divine King was completely unharmed. With the continuous supply of darkness, he exuded an overwhelming oppressive aura.

Under such immense pressure, everything else seemed pale and powerless.

Fortunately, Yun Fan had refined the rune, allowing him to draw upon the power of the Pangu Heavenly Domain.

"Move aside, leave it to me!"

Yun Fan said with great confidence. He didn't know if his power could counter the dark Ice Snow Divine King.

However, at this moment, even if he couldn't counter it, he certainly had the strength to contend with the dark Ice Snow Divine King head-on.

After the three women moved aside, Yun Fan struck, unleashing a world-splitting palm strike.

Under the powerful crushing force of his palm, the dark ice and snow power began to crumble.

The dark Ice Snow Divine King hadn't expected that Yun Fan, merely after refining the rune, would become so powerful.

Following closely, Yun Fan unleashed another blast of power onto the Ice Snow Divine King.

The Ice Snow Divine King let out a dismissive laugh, not taking Yun Fan seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, Yun Fan sneered, unleashing his Heaven-Shattering Bloodline. The dark Ice Snow Divine King let out a roar.

He tried to resist the Heaven-Shattering power with all his might, but it was too late. The Heaven-Shattering power was continuously burning.

The Ice Snow Divine King let out a painful wail.

Under the deterrence of the Heaven-Shattering power, the darkness could only choose to retreat.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

At this moment, the now-conscious Ice Snow Divine King let out a series of coughs.

"Young Master!"

Bing'er quickly rushed to support him.

"I... I actually survived!"

Disbelief flashed in the Ice Snow Divine King's eyes. He had truly experienced despair moments ago.

His entire body had been corroded by darkness.

Unexpectedly, Yun Fan, in his moment of despair, had turned the tide and saved him.

At this point, Yun Fan said, "Fortunately, everything went according to plan!"

Seeing the Ice Snow Divine King unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you know that my Heaven-Shattering power, once strengthened, could suppress darkness?"

Yun Fan asked Ya Fei, perplexed.

He found that Ya Fei knew a great deal.

Ya Fei replied, "There's nothing strange about that! Because I already knew! I know you too!"

"You know me?"

Yun Fan looked at Ya Fei in shock.

"Don't you people have any social awareness?"

Ya Fei said angrily, "Can't you see we're having a private conversation?"

Upon hearing this, the three, though annoyed, retreated.

At this moment, Ya Fei directly said, "First God!"

"What?"

Yun Fan froze on the spot.

But Ya Fei showed no surprise or shock, continuing, "You are my friend. You once said that when you returned, you would come to find me to explore the Pangu Heavenly Domain together and rise again. But I never waited for you, and I thought you wouldn't return. I never expected to meet you here!"

"You're not from this era?"

Yun Fan finally realized that Ya Fei might be like him, a reincarnation.

"That's right!"

Ya Fei stated, "I am an existence from the previous era. In that era, you and I were the best of friends!"

Now, Yun Fan recalled encountering an old man when he arrived at the central region of the Pangu Continent.

The old man had said he would teleport him to a world he had arranged.

In reality, that was almost the case. The old man that day had intended to teleport Yun Fan to Ya Fei's world.

However, due to interference, he was teleported to his mortal enemy, Qin Ying's location. If it hadn't been for an unexpected turn of events, Yun Fan would have been captured by Qin Ying.

He would likely have died at Qin Ying's hands, as they were enemies.

Although the process involved unexpected twists, the outcome was positive.

At this point, Yun Fan said, "No wonder you know so many secrets about the Heaven-Shattering power, even more than I do!"

"In any case, that's the situation. It seems some remnants of the darkness from the previous era have hidden in the Pangu Heavenly Domain!"

Ya Fei said, "But regarding the promise you made to me, isn't it time to fulfill it?"

"What did I promise you?"

Yun Fan asked, confused.

Ya Fei replied, "You promised to marry me. You can't go back on your word!"

This statement left Yun Fan utterly speechless. "Did I really promise that?"

Yun Fan knew that reasoning with a fierce woman like Ya Fei using past events and his current self as irrelevant would be useless.

"Of course, I promised!"

Ya Fei declared, "Otherwise, why would you have arranged to find me in this life?"

This statement left Yun Fan unable to refute.

Therefore, he immediately said, "How about we discuss it after we leave the Pangu Heavenly Domain?"

Without a doubt, at this moment, Yun Fan was adopting a delaying tactic, even if it was only for a moment.

"Alright! You can't escape anyway!"

Ya Fei stated, "With the darkness lurking in the Pangu Heavenly Domain, we will have many tasks ahead of us. Not only will we be treasure hunting, but we'll also have to deal with the darkness!"

"So, let's form an alliance!"

Yun Fan also knew that, under the current circumstances, an alliance of the three parties was of utmost importance.

"You're my man anyway, so I'll listen to whatever you say!"

Ya Fei said with great alacrity, a stark contrast to her outward appearance.

"Mm-hmm!"

Yun Fan emphasized, "I'm not your man yet!"

"It's bound to happen sooner or later, no need to rush to deny it!"

Ya Fei said smugly.

But inwardly, she was hatching her own plans. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so easily tricked.

However, for now, she had only one objective: to trick Yun Fan into her embrace first.

Subsequently, Yun Fan proposed the matter of the alliance.

The Ice Snow Divine King and Bing'er were naturally very willing, for with the darkness having emerged, if they encountered it again without an alliance, they might not even have a chance to escape.

However, Qin Wuyang was wary of Ya Fei.

She noticed that Ya Fei and Yun Fan were too intimate, which made her feel a pang of jealousy.

After all, Yun Fan was her person, and she didn't want her position in Yun Fan's heart to be replaced by Ya Fei.

Next, they headed towards the center of the Pangu Heavenly Domain.

There lay an ancient supreme treasure, which they were determined to obtain: the legendary Pangu Heavenly Book.

Strictly speaking, the Pangu Heavenly Book was not a cultivation technique; it was more like an expansive heavenly scripture.

It helped cultivators broaden their minds and elevate their perspectives, offering immense benefits.

The influential figures active on the Pangu Continent had almost all seen the Pangu Heavenly Book.

However, everyone saw different content, with the results varying based on each individual's vision and experience.

Therefore, even if one had seen it, it could not be passed on. Once shared with other cultivators, the effect often proved counterproductive.

This was because, in the past, someone had done just that, but it had ultimately ended in failure.

This was why, despite the Pangu Heavenly Book's resounding reputation, it had never been publicly disseminated.

Unexpectedly, someone had already arrived before them.

The newcomers were two peerless experts, considered the apex of this Pangu Heavenly Domain trial. In terms of strength, they were undoubtedly superior to the Ice Snow Divine King and Ya Fei.

"Gu Xing Ao! You've come to join the fun so quickly!"

The ordinary-looking man said with a playful smile to the handsome man.

Gu Xing Ao sneered, "I was afraid if I came late, you'd have snatched it away! Wouldn't you agree? Huan Ye!"

Huan Ye smiled, "You know, no one can take away the Pangu Heavenly Book, they only have the right to observe! How could I possibly take it away?"

"You can't take it away, but you have the ability to cause the Pangu Heavenly Book to close prematurely!"

Gu Xing Ao said, "Therefore, I naturally cannot let you succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Ye remarked, "Do you want the cultivators of this era to rise and become equals to us?"

This statement touched upon the crucial point.

Gu Xing Ao pondered for a moment and replied, "Indeed, I do not wish for that. Therefore, I propose that after we have observed it, we close the Pangu Heavenly Book!"

"Exactly!"

Having reached a consensus, the two were about to act when, unexpectedly, countless waves of darkness swept in.

"Not good, it's dark power!"

Gu Xing Ao reacted instantly, attempting to escape, but to his dismay, their surroundings were already sealed by the darkness.

"Too late!"

Huan Ye stated, "Gu Xing Ao, the dark age is coming. Even those seniors couldn't resist the darkness, so how could you and I? It's better to join the darkness and become one of its members!"

"So, you've defected to the darkness?"

Gu Xing Ao looked at Huan Ye in shock.

"That's right!"

Huan Ye declared, "Under the guidance of the elders of my clan, I came to the Pangu Heavenly Domain and released the darkness. I have also merged into the darkness, becoming one of its members!"

At this moment, Gu Xing Ao finally understood the gravity of the situation.

Therefore, he asked Huan Ye, "So, you want me to become a member of the darkness as well?"

"Of course!"

Huan Ye proclaimed, "Not only will you become a member of the darkness, but everyone else will too. This dark age will begin with the Pangu Heavenly Domain!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing Ao realized the severity of the matter. Just as he was about to use his ultimate means to escape,

Huan Ye acted first, a stream of darkness integrating into Gu Xing Ao's body.

"Ah!"

Gu Xing Ao let out a scream and began to struggle incessantly, but alas, it was in vain. After a brief struggle, Gu Xing Ao became a member of the darkness.

However, as the darkness had just invaded Gu Xing Ao's body, he was currently as stiff as the Ice Snow Divine King.

"Hahahaha!"

Huan Ye let out a wild laugh and then said, "This prey is secured. Next are the other preys!"

Subsequently, with a wave of his hand, he concealed the darkness-possessed Gu Xing Ao.

He couldn't remember how many preys he had captured, but it was undeniable that Gu Xing Ao was the most satisfying prey.

A long while later, Yun Fan and his four companions arrived at this location.

Just as they were about to enter the Heavenly Book's world, Yun Fan felt something was amiss.

Therefore, he made a backup plan.

Upon entering the Heavenly Book's world, the five saw the Pangu Heavenly Book, exactly as the legends described.

Each person saw different content in the book.

However, after Yun Fan read through the content once, he said to the other four, "Wait, don't read it!"

"What's wrong?"

The others looked at Yun Fan in confusion.

Yun Fan said, "The cultivation path described in the Heavenly Book is different from mine!"

Yun Fan was absolutely certain of this. Although he was unaware of the realms beyond, he was completely sure that his path diverged from that of the Pangu Heavenly Book.

While the other three were perplexed, Ya Fei said, "Then let's not cultivate according to the path described here!"

This was Ya Fei's stance.

Because whether it was the previous era or this era, she had always trusted Yun Fan. If Yun Fan said there was a problem, then there was definitely a problem.

Qin Wuyang felt the same. From a friend to someone she now admired, and after spending so much time with Yun Fan, she knew he would never betray her.

Although the Ice Snow Divine King and Bing'er had reservations, after careful consideration, they decided to trust Yun Fan.

If not for anything else, it was because Yun Fan had saved their lives.

"Why has it become like this?"

The group was deeply puzzled. After all, past generations of ancestors had observed the Pangu Heavenly Book, and their understanding of its contents was highly consistent.

They had even believed that the Pangu Heavenly Book was the origin of cultivation.

"Ridiculous, dare to question the contents of the Pangu Heavenly Book, you ignorant fools!"

At this moment, Huan Ye appeared, accompanied by countless waves of darkness that had engulfed the entire area.

"The quality of this batch of prey is quite good!"

Huan Ye said with satisfaction. Whether it was Yun Fan, Ya Fei, or the Ice Snow Divine King, they were all mid-stage powerhouses.

Although Qin Wuyang and Bing'er had not yet reached the mid-stage, to Huan Ye, he had already set his greedy eyes on the two women.

Soon, these two women, and even the powerful Ya Fei, would become his playthings.

"Darkness!"

"Darkness again!"

The group looked at Huan Ye with anger, "You've defected to the darkness?"

"Wrong!"

Huan Ye stated, "It's not that I've defected to the darkness; it's because I'm the one who released the darkness!"

"What?"

The group was shocked that the culprit was none other than the Huan Ye standing before them.

"Are you surprised?"

Huan Ye sneered, "You will all soon become my prey! Are you ready to become prey?"

Upon hearing this, the group's expressions changed. The entire area was enveloped in darkness, and the darkness was dozens of times more intense than before.

Even Yun Fan, with his extraordinary strength, might not be able to break through this darkness.

At this moment, Yun Fan said, "I knew something was wrong here, so it turns out it really is wrong!"

"What do you mean?"

Huan Ye looked at Yun Fan coldly.

"You were prepared, but didn't you know that I had already made preparations when I entered the Heavenly Book's world!"

As Yun Fan unleashed a surge of power, the group was immediately teleported away from their original location.

"What?"

Huan Ye was taken aback; Yun Fan had such a contingency.

By the time the group reacted, they were already outside. Before they could ask Yun Fan how he knew, they noticed the darkness gradually approaching. In the darkness, Huan Ye stood at the forefront, followed closely by Gu Xing Ao.

Behind them were an unknown number of Heavenly Chosen who had been corrupted by darkness.

"Hiss!"

Seeing such a formidable lineup, the group couldn't help but gasp. They hadn't expected Huan Ye to have corrupted so many Heavenly Chosen; describing this situation as desperate would not be an exaggeration.

"Escape!"

With no certainty of victory, the group immediately chose to flee.

"You cannot escape!"

Huan Ye sneered, "Next, I will turn each of you into my prey, and then I will lead you out to forge a new dark age!"

Subsequently, darkness completely spread across the Pangu Heavenly Domain, and a desperate and brutal escape route was about to begin.
