Ye Yun and Yu Lingfei encounter an Ancient Giant Demon within the Demon Imprisonment Well. While Yu Lingfei cannot identify it, Ye Yun recognizes the creature and uses a black cloth for invisibility. They follow the demon to a black mountain where it disappears through a hidden transportation rune, leading Ye Yun to believe the Shaman Sect Master is also in pursuit. Following the rumbling sounds, they find the Shaman Sect Master battling floating black mountains, eventually clearing a path to a vast black plain with a city guarded by numerous powerful Ancient Giant Demons, who seem prepared for his arrival.

"Shaman Sect Master, you dogs forsaken by the immortals, guarding the Demon Imprisonment Well for so many years, you must be tired, right?"

A half-step Divine Emperor Realm Ancient Giant Demon laughed aloud.

"How could we be tired?"

Despite some uncertainty, the Shaman Sect Master was unyielding, sneering, "Your Giant Demon Clan is destined to be suppressed for eternity!"

An Ancient Giant Demon laughed crazily, "Ha ha ha, what a naive joke! Our Giant Demon Clan is the oldest beings in this Ancient Realm, possessing the fortunes of this earth. Though we were plotted against, we will eventually break the confines of the Demon Imprisonment Well!"

"Ha ha..."

Countless Ancient Giant Demons followed with laughter.

The voice echoed like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Giant Demon Clan?"

Upon hearing the Ancient Giant Demon’s words, Ye Yun raised his eyebrow, seeming to understand.

It turns out these Ancient Giant Demons are truly named the Giant Demon Clan, extremely ancient creatures of the Ancient Realm.

So ancient, that even Yu Lingfei, a native, doesn’t know of them.

They were framed, which led to their imprisonment in the Demon Imprisonment Well for unknown years.

"I’ve never heard of the Giant Demon Clan before?"

Yu Lingfei blinked, her face bewildered.

"This indicates that the existence of the Giant Demon Clan is extremely ancient, suppressed in the Demon Imprisonment Well due to villains doing harm.

The legends of the Giant Demon Clan in the Ancient Realm must have been purged by a powerful force, which is why current beings in the Ancient Realm know nothing..."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

"Master, might the Six Paths Nine Gates know such secrets?"

Yu Lingfei was startled, asking instinctively.

"It’s hard to say, but it’s impossible that there are no traces at all. For example, the mystery of Dragon Dao might know some things about the Giant Demon Clan..."

Ye Yun smiled and said.

"Oh."

Yu Lingfei nodded thoughtfully.

"Ha ha ha..."

Upon hearing the words from the Giant Demon Clan, the Shaman Sect Master also laughed wildly, the void quaked, with an astonishing momentum.

"Shaman Sect Master, you enter the Demon Imprisonment Well alone, a risky move. Have you considered the consequences?"

Ahead of the crowd, a half-step Divine Emperor Realm Giant Demon Clan strongest sneered with crossed arms.

"Hmph!" The Shaman Sect Master smiled contemptuously, "This Sect Master alone is enough to suppress you!"

"What about those despicable Dragon Dao people, why haven’t they dared to come again since having visited thousands of years ago, are they no longer in the Ancient Realm?"

A Giant Demon Clan strongest’s eyes twinkled, suddenly asking.

The Shaman Sect Master paused slightly, then waved broadly, "Dragon Dao still guards the Ancient Realm, if you dare appear, they will descend again!"

"Ha ha, I don’t believe it, do you all?"

That Giant Demon Clan strongest laughed, then looked behind at his clan.

"Don’t believe!"

"Ha ha!"

Countless Giant Demon Clan strongest’s expressions turned manic, laughing wildly at the sky.

The laughter was hysterical as if they disregarded the Truth-seeking God Emperor Realm Shaman Sect Master.

The Shaman Sect Master’s expression turned somber, eyes slightly squinted, thoughts racing.

These ancient-in-origin Giant Demon Clan members, what confidence do they have?

They have been imprisoned in the Demon Imprisonment Well for so many years, constantly suppressed, could they still breakthrough?

Thinking of those floating Black Mountain Range in the void, the Shaman Sect Master suddenly felt a bad premonition.

...

Listening to the dialogue between the two sides, Ye Yun stroked his chin, seeming to savor some more understanding.

Thousands of years ago, someone from Dragon Dao visited the Demon Imprisonment Well.

Looking at it this way, was the sealing array left from back then?

Ye Yun felt this deduction was very likely true.

But another question arose, why did people from Dragon Dao enter the impregnable sealed Demon Imprisonment Well?

Now it seems, the Giant Demon Clan and Dragon Dao are incompatible, with inherent grievances.

Especially those Giant Demon Clan strongest, when mentioning Dragon Dao, their blood-red eyes brimmed with killing intent, seemingly wanting to devour Dragon Dao’s people alive.

...

"Suppress!"

The Shaman Sect Master suddenly took out a bead and threw it into the sky, raising a hand to cast a spell.

The bead was silver, and as the spell was injected, suddenly a beam of silver light soared into the sky, disappearing deep into the sky.

The whole process was too fast.

The Giant Demon Clan strongest did not react.

Buzz!

Above the void, suddenly seven large silver stars appeared, their dazzling silver light cascading down like waves, instantly covering the entire small world.

Crack, crack...

All Giant Demon Clan felt a massive pressure acting on them, the stones beneath their feet shattered, and a small part of their bodies sank into the ground.

"Suppressing you is just within my grasp!"

Seeing the Giant Demon Clan suppressed, the Shaman Sect Master’s face showed a hint of mocking smile, waving casually.

Seeing the seven large stars form a Seven-star formation, Ye Yun was slightly stunned, not expecting to see the Seven-star formation again within the Demon Imprisonment Well of the Ancient Realm.

Once, they—the Dragon God Sect and Dragon Clan—were victims of the Seven Stars.

So seeing this sudden emergence of the Seven-star formation, Ye Yun felt displeased.

He lightly flicked his hand, the black rag floating above moved slightly, then bore part of the pressure from the Seven-star formation.

The pressure on the Giant Demon Clan was relieved, they all stood up, took a breath, their expressions increasingly fierce.

"This Seven-star formation appears once every hundred thousand years, continuously suppressing our Giant Demon Clan, seizing our Giant Demon Clan’s power. Unexpectedly, only a few years have passed, and the Seven-star formation appears again..."

A Giant Demon Clan strongest tilted his head, endlessly laughing coldly, "I never thought, the Shaman Sect Master could activate the Seven-star formation, surely that silver bead is a trump card left by Dragon Dao for you, right?"

"Correct!"

The Shaman Sect Master coldly smiled, he looked at the Giant Demon Clan below, slightly surprised in his heart.

These Giant Demon Clan are indeed formidable, the first profound meaning of the Seven-star formation has such little effect on them.

Thus it seems.

Over thousands of years, the Giant Demon Clan has made significant progress, despite continuous suppression and plunder by the Seven-star formation, they have also greatly researched it.

"Indeed, creatures favored by heaven, the Giant Demon Clan cannot be underestimated..."

A thought surfaced in the Shaman Sect Master’s mind.

Initially, imprisoning the Giant Demon Clan in the Demon Imprisonment Well was about plundering their fortunes.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, they still found ways to counter the Seven-star formation.

"Shaman Sect Master, I suggest you use whatever trump cards you have, our Giant Demon Clan will surely break the Demon Imprisonment Well this time, returning to the Ancient Realm..."

That half-step Divine Emperor Realm Giant Demon Clan strongest sneered.

"Hehe, this Seven-star formation has two profound meanings, surely you have never seen the second profound meaning?"

The Shaman Sect Master smiled profoundly, making a spell with his hands.

Second profound meaning?

The Giant Demon Clan members’ faces grew solemn, shadows flickered, positions changed instantly, forming a large array.

This array, centered on the nine half-step Divine Emperor Realm strongest, unified all power and transmitted it.

At the moment the large array formed.

The world suddenly stirred with wind, black smoke drifting away from the Demon Imprisonment Well swiftly condensed back.

This black smoke had disappeared over the Nameless Mountain, now it returned along its path, seeming to bring back some power.

"Suppress!"

The Shaman Sect Master cast spells continuously, beams of light injected into the silver light sphere, and then silver light flew out, entering into the seven star points.

Then a huge illusionary dragon shape appeared above the Seven Stars.

From a distance, it seemed as if the seven silver stars embedded within this virtual dragon.

"Seven-Star Azure Dragon?"

When Ye Yun saw the illusionary Divine Dragon, he was suddenly shocked.
