And at that moment, within the Lord's Residence of Yima City, Daili, who had been chatting with Shui Ling'er and Murong Feixue, suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort, as if a void had been hollowed out in her heart, causing her intense unease. The first person Daili thought of was Mo Han, and her face instantly turned pale.

Shui Ling'er and Murong Feixue, noticing Daili's sudden pallor, grew worried. Shui Ling'er quickly asked with concern, "Sister Daili, why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Should I check on you?" Daili shook her head quickly and spoke with apprehension, "I don't know. It's just a sudden, sharp pang of sadness in my heart, as if something heartbreaking is about to happen. I am truly terrified."

Hearing Daili's reply, Shui Ling'er and Murong Feixue both thought of Mo Han, who was still trapped within the barrier, and immediately began to worry for him. Both of them turned ashen-faced. Could something really have happened to Mo Han? The three women thought simultaneously.

"No, I must go to the barrier to see. Otherwise, I won't know what to do."

Daili immediately rose and headed towards the barrier. Shui Ling'er and Murong Feixue exchanged a glance, nodded together, and followed closely behind Daili, running towards the barrier.

It was only when they arrived outside the barrier.

The situation inside was completely unclear, and Daili grew even more anxious. Even Shui Ling'er and Murong Feixue seemed to feel that intense sense of unease. Shui Ling'er quickly asked, "Shall we go in, Sister Daili?" Hearing this, Daili shook her head and replied, "I promised Mo Han that no matter what, I would not enter. I must wait for him to come out on the outside.

If we go in, we will only distract him, and it won't help at all. We should wait a little longer. From now on, I will wait here until Mo Han emerges."

Shui Ling'er and the others could only nod helplessly upon hearing this and stood beside Daili.

Signaling their agreement, Daili offered them a faint smile and comforted them, "I believe Mo Han will be fine. You don't need to worry."

Shui Ling'er and the others could only nod in unison, for they too found it hard to believe that with Mo Han’s skill, coupled with Xiao Mo and Xiao Han, any real danger could befall him. Even if they couldn't win the fight, couldn't they escape? Meanwhile, Mo Han, deep within the barrier, seemed to have completely lost sensation, with only a sliver of consciousness left, forcing himself to hold on.

And blood had already begun to stream from Mo Han's nose and mouth.

Just then, the shadowy figure spoke with vexation, "Kid, you’d rather die than admit defeat? Then don't blame me. In my world, it's either a subordinate or an enemy. Since you insist on opposing me, then slowly wait for your death."

Xiao Mo and Xiao Han cried out in despair upon witnessing this. Seeing Mo Han on the verge of death while they were powerless to help was more agonizing than being killed themselves. At that critical moment, Xiao Mo let out an earth-shattering roar, and a dazzling light erupted from its body. After the light subsided, Xiao Mo's previously yellow fur had suddenly turned snow-white. Xiao Mo was now completely white all over, and its size had increased considerably.

The shadowy figure, seeing this, could not help but speak with some surprise, "I didn't expect your monstrous beast to be so loyal as to actually evolve. Heh, truly rare. Most Earth Bears cannot evolve, yet you succeeded. However, even if you evolve into a Level Ten Earth Bear King, you won't be my match. It's merely a waste of effort."

At the same time, Xiao Han also let out a roar, and a black and white mixed light pulsed from its body. After the light faded, Xiao Han’s body seemed unchanged, but the volume of the black spheres it emitted appeared to have increased significantly, and its power seemed amplified as well, managing to stir up violent fluctuations on the black barrier with every strike.

Xiao Mo, seeing this, also let out a roar towards the heavens. A colossal Beast King Cannon shot from Xiao Mo's mouth, accurately striking the black barrier. Under the combined assault of Xiao Mo and Xiao Han, the black barrier shook violently, seeming on the verge of shattering at any moment.

The mysterious shadowy figure inside the barrier shouted in astonishment upon seeing this, "I didn't expect you two beasts to be this formidable. You almost managed to shatter the Black Fiend. However, that's the extent of your power; it won't save your master."

Simultaneously, in his haze, Mo Han felt the pressure on his wrist ease. A scene flashed through his mind—the moment of parting with Daili: "You must be careful. I will definitely wait for you to come out, no matter how long it takes, no matter where you go, I will follow you."

Daili's parting words echoed relentlessly in Mo Han's mind, and the faces of Shui Ling'er and Liu Yanran kept appearing before his eyes.

No, I cannot die like this. I cannot abandon Daili and the others. I promised Daili I would return; I cannot die meaninglessly like this.

Mo Han shouted inwardly. He then saw a powerful aura surge from his body. Even Xiao Mo and Xiao Han sensed the intense energy radiating from Mo Han and instantly became joyful.

The mysterious shadowy figure watched this scene in amazement, unsure of what was happening.

Just then, a furious shout erupted from Mo Han’s mouth, and his entire body was engulfed in a fierce white light. The shadowy figure thought he must have misseen it—how could Mo Han, with his current strength, emit white Dou Qi? But looking closely, it was undeniably the distinctive white Dou Qi of a Sword Saint.

The Light Holy Sword, which had been tethered by the Black Fiend, also began to emit a blinding radiance. The four light rings on the Holy Sword simultaneously transformed into five rings, clearly indicating that the power of the Light Holy Sword had been elevated another level. Simultaneously, Mo Han's voice resonated: "Break for me..."

A beam of intense white light surged along the Light Holy Sword toward the Black Fiend formed by the black barrier. Immediately, the black barrier convulsed violently a few times before vanishing without a trace, revealing the mysterious shadowy figure within.

Staring at this sight, the shadowy figure murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible? He actually advanced to Sword Saint? This is too incredible! Is this kid a monster? To advance under these circumstances?" At this moment, Mo Han, fully recovered, fixed the shadowy figure with a smiling gaze, "I must thank you for your assistance; otherwise, I don't know when I would have broken through my cultivation to reach the strength of a Sword Saint. However, for the harm you inflicted upon me, I will surely repay you twofold."

Mo Han's tone turned cold as he finished speaking.

The shadowy figure let out a cackling laugh, "Kid, don't think you can beat me just because you've become a Sword Saint. Let me show you what true power is."

After saying this, the shadowy figure emitted a strange black light from its body and slowly ascended into the sky.

Mo Han watched all this coldly, making no move to intervene. Newly promoted, he needed a battle to consolidate and strengthen his power. Therefore, he also wanted to see what other tricks this shadowy figure had up its sleeve. However, Mo Han's confidence had skyrocketed, giving him a feeling of fearlessness, completely unconcerned about any trickery the shadowy figure might employ.

Moreover, Mo Han believed that since this mysterious shadowy figure was so confident in facing him and showed no concern about his attacks, it must have some trump card reserved. Even if he attacked now, it might not be effective. It was better to stay put and carefully observe what scheme the opponent intended to deploy.

As the shadowy figure rose into the air, it began chanting strange incantations that Mo Han couldn't understand at all; he presumed it must be some sort of dark sorcery.

Mo Han clearly sensed the surrounding dark energy gathering wildly, reaching an astonishing degree. Furthermore, the magical elements in the surrounding air were gradually being squeezed out of this unique space created by the mysterious shadowy figure by the intense dark energy.

Seeing this, Mo Han was greatly alarmed. Could this be a 'Magic Domain'? It bore a striking resemblance to the Dou Qi Domain of a Sword Saint. In a Sword Saint's Dou Qi Domain, the Dou Qi levels of others would significantly decrease, while the Sword Saint's own strength would increase.

In this person's Magic Domain, the power of any magic cast would surely be greatly discounted, likely following the same principle as the Sword Saint's Dou Qi Domain—one targeting Dou Qi, the other targeting magic. Could this person's cultivation have reached the realm of a Saint Magus? Because only a Saint Magus could unleash a Magic Domain, and this person was clearly an Arcane Saint Magus, Mo Han realized with shock. However, it had been an unknown amount of time since a Saint Magus had appeared on the Dragon Soaring Continent. How could such a terrifyingly powerful anomaly suddenly appear? His luck was truly extraordinarily bad. Meeting a figure who hadn't appeared in centuries—a probability harder to achieve than winning the lottery—he had actually run right into him.
