Ye Luo’er forms a master-servant contract with the loyal black-robed powerful figures, who urge her to return home with them after she spares potential enemies due to an inner conflict. Xuanyuan Moxie continues perceiving the profound Dao of Water Origin in a sealed space, his killing intent toward Ye Chen intensifying as he nears mastery. Ye Chen and his companions emerge from the Nine Death Realm into the ruined Death Ancient City, discovering the slain guardian nailed to a wall by a destructive spear, while the city's hidden position is fully exposed under the starry sky, drawing approaching Heavenly Repairing Realm experts who notice the unexpected presence of a Heavenly God Realm youth.

"Heavenly God Realm?"

When they heard that phrase, the other three froze in shock and then spotted Ye Chen, their faces shifting to odd expressions.

This Death Ancient City had emerged out of nowhere, drawing in hordes of mighty experts, including even heirs from beings beyond imagination, sparking a clash that shook the entire world.

The fight escalated to a horrifying peak, nearly shattering the skies and the ground, with myriad powerhouses perishing; how could some young lad at the Heavenly God Realm possibly venture into such a place?

The group then caught sight of the Sky-covering Demon Emperor next to Ye Chen and pieced it together, figuring that the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had escorted Ye Chen here to expand his experiences.

At the same time, the four observed Jun Mo and couldn't suppress their grins, acting with utmost politeness.

"Master Jun Mo, what brings you here as well?"

The man in the green robe at the front, gripping the Dragonslayer Sword, cupped his hands while smiling.

Clearly, Jun Mo held a notable status in the Outer Realm, since all these individuals knew who he was.

"Brother Hua Feng."

Jun Mo looked toward the man but skipped the direct reply. Instead, he inquired with interest, "What's going on in this area? Why did you rush over?"

"Master Jun Mo may not be aware, but the Death Ancient City popped up unexpectedly, pulling in the gaze of innumerable powerhouses. Even a being from beyond showed up, slaying the protectors in this place, and we hurried here to dive into the chaos."

"A being from beyond?" Ye Chen’s gaze shimmered. That elder possessed tremendous power, and under normal circumstances, no one could take his life easily; yet what reason would a transcendent entity have to strike against him?

"Indeed, that entity was wrapped in brilliant light, hiding its true form from our eyes, but when it struck, it unleashed an unbeatable method that could obliterate the Nirvana Star Sky, quaking the entire Universe, terrifying enough to chill anyone to the bone."

The individual called Hua Feng spoke up eagerly, his voice laced with thrill.

"Once that being arrived, it apparently exchanged words with the protectors, then exploded into combat. The guardian ended up pierced and slain, and the transcendent figure simply departed afterward."

Hua Feng went on, his words tinged with puzzlement; he had no clue why that entity acted this way.

"I understand."

Jun Mo gave a light nod, grasping more about the events now.

Hua Feng appeared to sense that Ye Chen and his group were newcomers, less informed than themselves, so he chose not to probe further and courteously parted from Jun Mo, heading off with his allies.

Once Hua Feng departed, Ye Chen, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, and Jun Mo traded glances, their gazes profound.

They remained unclear on the full story, but during their time in the Nine Death Realm, things hadn't been straightforward for them either, involving the awakening of the Cangmu Giant Illusion, the meddling of the Han Yuan Venerate, and enigmatic forces agitating the whole Nine Death Realm.

It stayed uncertain if the conflicts in the Death Ancient City tied into these occurrences.

Still, there was little point in staying put; both Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor had pressing tasks ahead, and they were ready to move on.

Yet, Jun Mo planned to travel onward with Ye Chen and the Demon Emperor; as the heir of Blood Venerate, who sought his demise, returning to his prior spot would risk Blood Venerate learning he survived, potentially unleashing an even worse disaster.

Ye Chen raised no issues with this arrangement; while Ye Luo-er had been located, and she seemed mostly safe from harm, he still had to track down Xia Ruoxue, so Jun Mo tagging along proved useful.

Right after, as Ye Chen and his group prepared to depart, a series of formidable auras swept above them.

These belonged to Heavenly Repairing Realm experts. Though Outer Realm held plenty of strong figures, the abrupt influx of numerous Heavenly Repairing Realm individuals here signaled that major events were unfolding.

The Death Ancient City had burst into turmoil, getting completely ravaged; with such a swarm of powerhouses now surfacing, Ye Chen felt a wave of intrigue rising within him.

"Shall we check out what went down?"

His eyes gleamed as Ye Chen proposed the idea.

"Sure."

Jun Mo agreed right away, his eyes lighting up with eagerness, since he was inherently inquisitive and drawn to mysteries; naturally, he wished to delve into this.

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor also gave a subtle nod, displaying mild curiosity.

Following that, Ye Chen and his allies shot up into the air. Mere moments after exiting the Death Ancient City, they beheld the Death Canyon and Death Demon Mountain in ruins, battered beyond recognition.

The once infinite, deep, and expansive Death Canyon now lay in collapse and depression, its necrotic essence entirely erased, reduced to barren land.

The imposing Death Demon Mountain had likewise been felled by the ferocious clashes, presenting a truly staggering view.

"What in the world took place here."

Ye Chen’s expression slowly grew grave, the devastation around him revealing the sheer ferocity of the prior confrontation.

Furthermore, en route, they crossed paths with endless Heavenly Repairing Realm practitioners, each radiating fierce, majestic energy, as though hunting for something specific in the region.

"Boom!"

Right then, three more Heavenly Repairing Realm silhouettes streaked from the distant skies, halting directly before Ye Chen and his group this time.

"Hmm? Master Jun Mo?"

The forefront of the three was a youthful man with silver-gray locks, gazing at Jun Mo in astonishment.

"Brother Zhou Yao."

Seeing the man, Jun Mo returned the greeting with clasped hands and respect.

"Never thought Master Jun Mo would get pulled into this uproar too. Have you spotted the woman everyone's mentioning?"

Zhou Yao’s gray tresses fluttered amid the surging Hongmeng Energy, his smile friendly as he eyed Jun Mo.

"Woman?"

Ye Chen and his allies were taken aback, wondering if all this chaos here, the fight that could raze all, stemmed from a single woman?

"Exactly; once the Nine Death Realm emerged, a dreadful conflict broke out, luring spectators from afar. In the midst, somebody noticed a woman carrying a massive secret, so the crowd aims to seize her and reveal it, but her skills at hiding are exceptional—she slipped away with ease."

"All these folks are now on the hunt for that enigmatic woman."

Zhou Yao concluded, directing his question to Ye Chen and the others, "Have you caught sight of her?"

"What kind of appearance does she have?"

Ye Chen’s pulse quickened, as during their travels, they had met various Heavenly Repairing Realm experts, including some women, though likely none matched Zhou Yao’s description.

At those words, Zhou Yao shook his head and replied, "I haven’t the faintest idea of her looks either."

"I have!"

At that instant, additional Heavenly Repairing Realm experts arrived, one being a man with a broad face and a severely rigid demeanor, who promptly drew a portrait from his robes and spread it open for all to view.

"Has anyone here laid eyes on this woman?"

"No, I haven’t." Jun Mo’s eyebrows knitted upon viewing it; the female depicted exuded an exceptional aura, and despite the veil, it suggested an astonishing beauty lurking beneath.

But in that split second, Jun Mo overlooked how, at the portrait’s reveal, Ye Chen and the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s faces subtly altered, exchanging a meaningful glance.
