Soon, the columns of lava that had soared into the air lost their momentum and began to plummet swiftly.

And, in the process of rapid descent, they started to rapidly disperse.

From a distance, it looked just like bright fireworks.

While beautiful, it was filled with a destructive, scorching aura.

Finally, the lava crashed onto the reddish-brown earth, beginning to spread in all directions.

In an instant, it was as if the reddish-brown earth had been draped with a coat of brilliant colors.

"Roar, roar!"

Before the sound of the volcanic eruption faded, a great roar arose in this space.

At the edge of the earth, countless enormous, oddly-shaped black creatures unleashed furious roars, surging forth like a tide.

They were like mindless beasts, frenziedly engaged in chaotic battle.

Sharp claws, bone spikes, mouths filled with sharp, white teeth...

With these innate weapons, the scene of the melee was particularly blood-soaked.

For a moment, in this once silent space, smoke filled the air and everything was in turmoil.

The volcano still glowing red, flowing lava everywhere, as severed limbs and splashes of black-red blood from the creatures' fierce combat painted a bizarre picture.

In this vast space, such scenes were ubiquitous.

The entire space was filled with an aura of destruction and death. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The only exception was at the very center of this space.

Here, upon several gigantic mountain ranges, stood a colossal, rough structure that was staggering in size.

From a distance, it looked like several giants knelt, arduously lifting the structure.

However, in this space filled with primitive slaughter and barbarism, to witness a structure that symbolized civilization was truly surprising.

Even though it looked exceedingly rough.

Built purely from whole blocks of obsidian, its grandeur couldn't even compete with the most rudimentary medieval European castles.

Outside this rough, gigantic fortress, although there were strange creatures scattered all over the land, they did not descend into chaotic slaughter.

They appeared more like sentries of the fortress, patrolling in a well-ordered manner along the inside and outside of the fortress.

Inside the fortress, within the core grand hall, a gigantic figure shrouded entirely in black armor sat atop the obsidian throne at the highest point of the hall.

And below the hall stood a line of strange creatures covered with black scales and white bone spikes all over their bodies.

If Yang Yan were here, he would find that they were all members of the Demon Race, with the lowest being Demon Monarch level!

"Did Nine Netherworld fail?"

The gigantic figure on the highest throne suddenly spoke with a voice akin to a roar, causing the entire grand hall to violently tremble.

His tone didn't reveal any anger, but the sheer volume of his voice gave the impression of rolling thunder exploding.

"How could it be! Just a few days ago, he sent word that his lost power was restored to peak condition."

"That guy's strength is barely sufficient, yet how could he fail against a group of inept humans?"

Below the hall, a considerably shorter Demon compared to other Demon Monarchs couldn't help but speak out.

Judging by the timbre, this Demon surprisingly spoke with a slightly hoarse female voice.

"My child, our nobility is beyond question, but never underestimate those small-sized humans."

"Although most of them are weak and cowardly beings, there are some among them who are extraordinarily talented and gifted."

"Otherwise, Bahoridton would not still be sealed within their realm to this day."

Previously speaking, the female Demon quickly lowered her head to the figure on the throne, her voice filled with utmost respect, saying:

"Father's teachings are very true, I shall remember them firmly."

"However, with Nine Netherworld's plan failing, our arrival time has to be significantly delayed."

"Should we inform Manhattan to find a way for a Demon Emperor to descend, after all that thing..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

The figure on the high seat raised a thick arm, interrupting:

"Before the Heavenly Dao Barrier of that world is broken, using Manhattan's method to pass through it will result in more than half of the power being weakened."

"The stronger one's power, the greater the weakening force suffered."

"Even if I descend, my power will be severely diminished, and the commotion will be considerable."

"If it draws the humans' attention, it will fall into peril and might repeat Bahoridton's fate."

"Though the Demon Race has lost thousands of Demon Monarchs, it cannot afford to risk a Demon Emperor for this. It's a foolish act with no benefit."

After a brief silence, a slightly hoarse voice rose again:

"Great Demon God, what should we do now?"

The Demon God snorted coldly, saying faintly:

"Rest assured, rapidly passing through the Heavenly Dao Barrier is not solely dependent on obtaining the Space Origin."

"Among the humans, I have placed a piece, his strength is not bad, and should not disappoint me."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the Demons present brightened.

Even the Demon God himself praised the strength as not bad, so it must certainly be significant.

With inside and outside cooperation, this matter is essentially a surefire success.

"Wise is the Demon God!"

When the figure on the throne finished speaking, all the Demons simultaneously bowed, proclaiming in unison.

Hidden World, Ghostly Abyss, ranked as the premier forbidden land.

Located at the easternmost frontier, lodged between Hidden World's largest mountain ranges, Hong Mountain and Desolate Mountain.

Originally, there was only one mountain range, known as the Primordial Mountain Range.

Various magical herbs and ancient trees grew wantonly upon this mountain range.

From all over the world, countless people came attracted by its fame, and at the time, the Primordial Mountain Range could be said to be the sacred ground for the entire human race.

But that was before the Great War between humans and demons; after that earth-shattering battle concluded, the Primordial Mountain Range became as it is now.

The final act of the Great War was concluded here, with countless Demons and humans perishing in this place.

All flora and fauna on the mountain range were reduced to ashes in the massive battle.

Subsequently, this once verdant mountain range of lush herbs and ancient trees, aside from the visible countless white bones, was a barren field of shattered cliffs and scattered rocks, barren for years.

Moreover, this enormous mountain range was split into two during the confrontation of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang against the Demon God of the Demon Race.

And the Ghostly Abyss is the cleft that was split open.

Back then, it is unclear what kind of power Flame Emperor and Yellow Emperor wielded, but with a joint strike, they opened this chasm.

Thousands of meters wide, not to mention, with a depth that seemingly has no bottom.

Looking down from above, you can faintly see the flow of lava, yet it remains bottomless.
