"Fairy, can you discern anything else?" Lu Yang hadn’t expected to stumble upon a site where a Qilin Immortal and a Fairy from the Fire Dynasty had clashed.

"Judging from the battle, it seems the Qilin Immortal was at a disadvantage. His moves were mostly defensive… No, could it be that he was protecting someone?"

Fairy Eternity slightly furrowed her brows, feeling that the Qilin Immortal’s fight wasn’t as brave as she remembered.

"Let’s not worry about that for now. This fog is very dangerous for you all. You should escape first."

Fairy Eternity released her Spiritual Sense, enveloping the entire thick fog.

"How should we go?"

"The dense fog is continuously shifting positions. You are already near the center of the fog and have been surrounded."

Lu Yang was immediately alarmed, "What’s inside the fog?"

"Most likely people who were trapped in the fog before. There are traces of a Qilin Immortal using Dao Fruit in battle here. The residual power of the traces still exists and can control people in the fog, from Body Integration Realm to Foundation Establishment Stage. Fortunately, there is no one from the Pass Tribulation Stage; otherwise, we could only ask Miss Yun for help."

"You’ll run in the direction I tell you to."

"Okay."

…

"Gentlemen, I have a secret treasure given by the Sect that can guide us and help us get out of this," Lu Yang said solemnly, as per Fairy Eternity’s instructions, pointing northward where the least number of enemies were located, making it the easiest direction to break through.

"This way!"

Without any doubts, everyone followed Lu Yang and ran toward the outside of the fog.

"Also, be prepared to fight. The secret treasure tells me we are surrounded!"

As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, a water spear shot towards him—fast and precise.

Bang!

Su Yiren appeared in front of Lu Yang, facing the water spear with a palm strike that had the momentum of surging waves, dispersing the fog around them. However, the fog quickly rolled back in and shrouded everyone again.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fog dispersed, everyone saw their opponent: a more than three-meter-tall crab wielding two pincers, its body decayed and back covered in moss, having died who knows how many years ago.

"It’s a Body Integration Realm crab from the Tyrant Crab Race!" Su Yiren recognized its origin and Cultivation Level.

Not just the Tyrant Crab Race, but countless Sea Clan and Human race members, all dead yet still moving, surrounded everyone.

Li Haoran vigilantly watched the fog, letting various meticulously crafted magic artifacts float around him. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, "Next time, we should invite a friend from the Corpse Chasing Sect for a tour around the East Sea."

The Tyrant Crab Race’s Body Integration Realm being suddenly lifted its pincers and flung them forward. The pincers were thrown toward Su Yiren’s waist in an attempt to cut her in half!

"Spirit Marrow Cleansing Technique!" Su Yiren exclaimed softly, her fair skin containing endless strength as she directly countered the crab’s attack. The crab’s shell, known for its defensive power, was indented by her two punches.

The deceased Sea Clan and Human race members followed the Tyrant Crab Race Integration Realm’s assault. Their shapes were varied, and their aura was ferocious—the leaping of a blue whale, the soaring of a sea swallow demon king, and the towering form of a millennia-old turtle demon among them. Some were ancient monsters, others were once peerless geniuses, but their eras were too long gone.

Xiao Xinghai had only heard their names and had never seen them in person, so he couldn’t match them up.

"Form up!"

Lu Yang shouted, and the five people once again executed the Five Elements Array Method, sharing spiritual essence, and their combat power skyrocketed several times.

"One Sword Becomes Ten Thousand!" Lu Yang brought out the Sword Washing Pool, and countless Sword Washing Pools filled the sky, falling like shooting stars. Whether it was the Sea Clan or Human race, everything below the Divinity Transformation Stage was smashed to pulp.

Even those in the Divinity Transformation Stage were gravely injured, and their combat strength was drastically reduced!

"Shocking Heaven Six Forms!"

Meng Jingzhou displayed the power of three heads and six arms; his body seemed as if cast from iron and bronze, his muscles as convoluted as the roots and branches of a sinewy dragon, his fists stirring up an immeasurable force, each punch as if shaking heaven and earth itself!

Man Gu wielded a giant hammer weighing tens of thousands of pounds, directly clashing with a blue whale; every collision caused the sea water to violently surge, forming a massive vortex!

"Thousand Mechanism Change!"

Around Li Haoran appeared nine different types of magic artifacts: a jade gourd, a precious cauldron, a small hammer, a wooden sword... the nine magic artifacts ignited with True Fire, forming a small Array Method to block attacks from all directions.

"Feather Transformation Immortal Body!"

Faced with zombies, Tao Yaoye’s skillful use of the Illusionary Realm was hardly effective, so she resolutely decided to activate her Feather Transformation Immortal Body; she was enveloped in milky white light, the milky white light transforming into pristine white feathers, and Tao Yaoye’s aura suddenly surged!

Divinity Transformation early stage!

She borrowed power from her future self, temporarily transforming into the early stage of the Divinity Transformation!

The cost was that her future self, at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, would at some point drop to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

Tao Yaoye’s spiritual essence grew like floodwaters bursting forth, and even the four people in the formation with her felt an endless stream of power!

Watching Lu Yang and the others unleash their divine abilities, Xiao Xinghai envied them greatly.

"Kun Peng Nine Transformations! Dragon Transformation Manual!"

Xiao Xinghai simultaneously cast two divine abilities, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long, four-clawed golden dragon; the golden dragon grew a pair of golden wings, each flap stirring up boundless hurricanes!

"Roar!" Xiao Xinghai faced off with a thousand-year-old turtle demon, his powerful dragon claws scratching three deep marks on the turtle’s shell!

This turtle demon was a famed half-blood old devil of the Divinity Transformation Stage in the East Sea a thousand years ago, who once defeated a rival of the same stage from the Xuanwu clan, causing an uproar at the time.

Meng Jingzhou looked up in surprise at Xiao Xinghai; this lad really had some methods in his cultivation.

"Don’t tangle with them, keep running!" Lu Yang knew very well that lingering here would only lead to their deaths; according to Fairy Eternity, there was an endless stream of Body Integration Realm powerhouses rushing this way.

Lu Yang held the Green Peak and Dark Moon swords in his hands, and with Sword Qi, he slashed a path which was quickly swallowed by the thick fog; he sat in the Sword Washing Pool, pushing through with force: "Run this way!"

The group fought their way through a bloody path.

While running, Lu Yang asked Fairy Eternity, "Isn’t the Qilin Immortal-associated with the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit? How come it still has the means to control others?"

"You’ve forgotten, Lianyi’s Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Outline has the ability to control others, and the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Outline is a lower counterpart of the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit—the higher Dao Fruit possesses all abilities of its lower counterpart."

"However, the relationship between the Eternity Dao Fruit and the Eternity Dao Fruit Outline isn’t like that."

"... The great Array has shifted position again. There’s a fair amount of Immortal traces ahead; Immortal traces contain dense understanding of laws. Not to mention you guys, even those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage can’t withstand this amount of information with just a glance—they would go mad. That’s how the previous people went insane. Run eastward!"

The site of the Immortal battle was filled with deadly traps, and it was rare for anyone who wandered in to make it out. However, thankfully they had the help of Fairy Eternity, who could point Lu Yang to a clear path.

The bloodstained group emerged from the fog, miraculously escaping alive. Along the way, they encountered three bloody battles; despite injuries, they were only minor and no serious harm was done.

"I’ve already marked that site. Once you lot have settled down, Second-in-command, come back to the site. Let’s have a careful look at it," said Fairy Eternity, who had long since discarded the warning from Eldest Senior Sister.

"Okay."

Coincidentally, Lu Yang had discarded it too.
