"Little Tao Tao..." Ye Jingyu's heart tightened, and he rushed forward to catch the little creature, immediately sensing its listlessness, as if it had expended a tremendous amount of strength.

"What it just used was a Dragon Clan divine ability, the Eye of Tracking—a technique only adult dragons might possess. It forced its use and has now exhausted its power; it’s merely unconscious. Give it ten days to half a month to rest, and it will wake up!" Ni Bo, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke.

Only then did Ye Jingyu feel some relief. However, knowing where Ying Kongshi had gone, his heart was instantly filled with burning anxiety. On one hand, he wanted to rush to that mountain cave immediately to rescue Luo Ling'er; on the other, he worried about the injuries sustained by Chi Yixiu and the others.

"Young Master, we aren't far from the Southern Savage Forest now. Let me escort them back to the Chi Yi Clan. You should hurry and save the Young Mistress!" Hu Yanmeng seemed to have discerned Ye Jingyu's thoughts and spoke up.

"How can that be? Although we're close to the Southern Savage Forest, what if another accident occurs?" Ye Jingyu flatly refused. Currently, they were all seriously injured and unconscious. Forget an expert like Ying Kongshi; even encountering a few high-level Savage Beasts would be difficult for Hu Yanmeng to handle alone.

"I'll have Gongsun Lu and Ni Bo escort them toward the Southern Savage Forest. Liang Xiaoke and I will go rescue our junior sisters first!" Liang Xiaoke also spoke up.

Glancing at Gongsun Lu beside him and considering her combat power, Ye Jingyu nodded, making the decision.

Their martial skills were now top-tier. Distances of tens or hundreds of li were nothing to them. In less than the time it took to finish a cup of tea, they reached the mountain cave where Ye Jingyu had first encountered Dugu Bachen.

However, there was no trace of Ying Kongshi's aura here, and Dugu Bachen was nowhere to be found either. Ye Jingyu only knew that before the Dou Hun Great War, Dugu Bachen had an extremely important matter to attend to.

Scrutinizing the cave, he finally discovered a faint energy fluctuation emanating from the stone slab where Dugu Bachen used to sit. A silver gleam flashed across Ye Jingyu's brow as the Eye of Reincarnation instantly opened. Gazing at the slab, his expression shifted slightly.

This was actually a passage, a passage leading to an unknown destination? Had Dugu Bachen sat here all those years just to guard this passage?

Considering this possibility, Ye Jingyu gradually guessed that this was likely the gateway to the Demon Realm.

Exchanging a look with Liang Xiaoke, Ye Jingyu did not hesitate, plunging directly into the passage. Liang Xiaoke followed close behind without a word, also diving in. Even if it led to Asura's hell, he would not flinch for the sake of his brother.

The moment the man and the Corpse entered the passage, they immediately felt countless violent energies constantly tearing at their bodies. Ye Jingyu was still severely injured from Fang Zhuguo's three punches; now, being ripped at by this energy, he felt as if his body was on the verge of being torn apart.

It was fortunate that he possessed the Chaos Body; any other physique would have long since been shredded into dust. Even Liang Xiaoke's extremely powerful physical body had to fully circulate his Nine Nether Power to resist these energies.

They shuttled through the passage for an unknown period. Just as their strength was nearly depleted, they finally passed through the crisis-filled tunnel and arrived in another world.

This was a completely different world, distinct from both the Dou Hun Continent and the Earth of the past.

There was no sun here, yet the sky was a deep purple. A purple radiance illuminated the entire world. As far as the eye could see, it appeared to be a forest, but this forest lacked green vegetation or towering ancient trees. Only clumps of colorful shrubs grew from the purple soil; some looked remarkably like coral. Strange animals occasionally darted among these bushes. The two even saw a rabbit with a gem growing on its forehead hop past them.

Other animals also possessed these gem-like crystals on their bodies—some were white, some yellow, some purple, and some black.

But regardless of their appearance or size, all these creatures emitted a ferocious aura. Upon seeing the arrival of Ye Jingyu and the other, at least a dozen slightly larger animals surrounded the pair.

They stared fiercely at Ye Jingyu and the other.

Is this the Demon Realm? Seeing everything before them, Ye Jingyu and Liang Xiaoke exchanged a glance. They paid no mind to the menacing animals, even though their power was almost completely exhausted.

At this moment, a porcupine with a single horn on its forehead suddenly let out a howl, its pitch-black body lunging toward Ye Jingyu. The other monsters also rushed towards them at full speed.

The speed of these beasts was terrifyingly fast. Even the black porcupine moved with astonishing velocity, reaching the two in the blink of an eye. Before they could react, the single horn on its head shot out like a cannonball, aimed directly at Liang Xiaoke's heart.

"Damn it, what is this thing?" Liang Xiaoke roared but allowed the horn to pierce his heart. Meanwhile, his palm transformed into sharp claws, seizing the porcupine's head and emitting a powerful suction that drained every drop of the creature's blood...

The porcupine looked resentfully at Liang Xiaoke, its eyes fixed on the horn impaling his heart, seemingly puzzled why it hadn't died despite its heart being pierced.

Ye Jingyu also drew his Sky Sovereign Saber, swinging it repeatedly. Streaks of saber energy tore through the air, slicing the beasts into several pieces...

Soon, a large pile of beast corpses accumulated around the two. Apparently sensing their immense power, the remaining animals dared not approach and kept their distance. Ye Jingyu and Liang Xiaoke had no intention of pursuing them further; instead, they sat cross-legged to regulate their breathing for a while before rushing down the only path available.

Meanwhile, deep in the Southernmost Land of the Dou Hun Continent, over a plain in the depths of the Blue Dream Marsh, ten figures hovered in the air, divided into two factions.

Beneath them stood dozens of young men and women respectfully awaiting orders...

The leader of one faction was a handsome man clad in a long robe, radiating presence like an unsheathed sword—an invincible divine sword capable of cleaving the heavens.

Opposite him sat a gaunt, withered man resembling a dried corpse. He too seemed not like a person, but a blade—an utterly tyrannical demonic blade capable of destroying everything.

These two were the most powerful individuals on the Dou Hun Continent: Xuanyuan Jue and Dugu Bachen... (Four chapters, nine thousand words. The spectacular Dou Hun Great War is about to begin. Brothers, please support! Remember to throw bricks!)
