Ye Xuan and his company descended into a seemingly bottomless abyss filled with corrosive liquid. After a long descent, they found a grotesque, decaying creature. Ye Xuan revealed his identity as the Undying Night Emperor and began to heal the creature, proving his resilience against the corrosive depths. The creature seemed surprised by Ye Xuan's strength and inquired about a past battle with the Dou Tian Divine Domain.

The strange creature didn’t speak but stared intently at Ye Xuan.

At the center of the creature’s forehead, the Immortal Bone emitted a shimmering Immortal Light.

It seemed that the creature intended to make a move against Ye Xuan.

"It’s better to talk it through."

At that moment, the Tree God began to materialize and spoke.

The strange creature’s eyes darkened upon seeing the Tree God.

Yet, upon recognizing the Tree God, he was dumbfounded: "You are... Tree God?"

The Tree God smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems someone still remembers me."

The creature’s eyes gradually cleared, and with some excitement, he said: "How could I not remember, back in the days at the Emperor Pass Great Wall, your military achievements were unmatched."

The Tree God’s branches swayed gently, and he said softly: "Why don’t you talk to Emperor Ye, our current situation is not good, we need Emperor Ye’s help."

The strange creature heard this and looked at Ye Xuan again.

"If that’s the case, then I shall continue."

The creature no longer dwelled on Ye Xuan’s name and said earnestly: "Originally, I was guarding the Emperor Pass Great Wall but was ambushed by a strongman from Dou Tian Divine Domain, narrowly escaping death, seriously injured, I retreated to my cave to recuperate."

"Unexpectedly, upon returning to my cave, my injuries flared up uncontrollably, leading me into a deep sleep."

"Before falling asleep, I took a Calamity Crossing Golden Pill to prevent fatal injuries from remaining unconscious."

"But what I didn’t expect was that when I awoke, my cave had collapsed, trapping me within chaos, unable to heal."

"With no other choice, I forced myself to carve out a small world from chaos to recreate a cave."

"But unexpectedly, as soon as I carved out the cave, it became cursed, quickly engulfing the whole small world, and I, too, was invaded by the curse, gradually losing self-awareness, almost turning into a monster!"

At this point, the strange creature felt ashamed.

After listening, Ye Xuan fully understood.

Turns out, this fellow was indeed left over from that war.

One awakening, the Ancient Immortal Realm was gone, and countless ages had passed.

Also invaded by an unknown curse.

"I suspect that these curses were left by people from Dou Tian Divine Domain to harm our Ancient Immortal Realm!"

The creature’s mood was heavy, he looked at Ye Xuan and said: "This is why earlier when I regained consciousness, I wanted you to leave immediately. If I had known you could suppress this curse..."

"Alas."

The creature sighed.

Fell victim to an unforeseen disaster.

"By the way, Tree God, what about your body? Is it gone?"

The creature recalled something, looked at the Tree God with some confusion.

He could tell that although the Tree God was materialized, it wasn’t his true form.

Upon hearing this, the Tree God also sighed and said in a low voice: "You might not know, during the Immortal Ancient End battle, it was extremely brutal, my body was destroyed in the battle, my Immortal Soul hidden away, barely surviving."

"When I awoke, the Ancient Immortal Realm had completely changed, everything familiar seemed gone."

"Currently, I’m merely lingering in a place called Void Divine Realm."

"Aside from me, there’s Kui Yuan, Ba Snake, Huang Zheng, Ghost Fang, and others."

With the Tree God’s words, Chaos Ghost Fang and other Void Divine Realm giants began to reveal themselves.

"The Ancient Immortal Realm is gone?!" The creature found it hard to believe.

"Didn’t you meet anyone else in this chaos?"

Ye Xuan interrupted him and asked softly.

The creature heard this and shook his head slightly: "No, I initially planned to create a small world, then search for other allies after recovering, but unexpectedly met misfortune."

Ye Xuan felt a bit disappointed.

Seems like he won’t be getting much information from this fellow.

Moreover, judging from the Tree God and Chaos Ghost Fang’s reactions, they too couldn’t determine the origin of the Corrosive Liquid.

At this moment, the creature’s face suddenly changed, hastily saying: "You must leave now, the curse is growing stronger, what you’re facing now is just a weak curse."

"The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it becomes, when the curse fully arrives, no one will escape!"

The Tree God, Chaos Ghost Fang, upon hearing this, didn’t rush to leave but looked at Ye Xuan, waiting for his command.

The creature saw this and became anxious: "Why are you still lingering?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly: "In this place, only I can take you out, if I leave now, you will surely die here."

But the creature shook his head: "In my current state, even if I leave here, I’m already a useless person, of no use at all. Just take this message out, don’t let the Ancient Immortal Realm..."

Upon mentioning the Ancient Immortal Realm, the creature suddenly halted.

For the Tree God had just said.

The Ancient Immortal Realm was already gone.

The creature resignedly said: "Forget it."

But then, the creature regained his spirit, looked to Ye Xuan with hope: "Emperor Ye, is the outside world occupied by Dou Tian Divine Domain?"

Ye Xuan shook his head: "No, it isn’t."

Upon hearing this, the creature immediately burst into laughter, even tears sparkled in his eyes: "That’s good, that’s good."

"If that’s so, then you must leave, bring the message of the curse out, or it will infect the world, then everyone will be in danger!"

"That strongest curse is beyond your imagination!"

The creature’s tone was extremely serious.

Whoosh——

At this point, the Corrosive Liquid around seemed to flow more rapidly, as if it received a power infusion.

Seeing this, the creature’s gaze darkened, urging: "Quickly leave, the curse has already sensed you!"

Ye Xuan sensed an unseen threat, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yet, there was still no intention of leaving.

The creature grew anxious: "What are you doing? Leave now!"

Ye Xuan surveyed the surroundings, speaking softly: "You shouldn’t die here."

The creature paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "If my death could save countless lives, then dying more times wouldn’t matter."

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell back on the creature, saying sternly: "Precisely for this reason, you shouldn’t die here."

The creature shouted angrily: "Sentimental fool!"

Ye Xuan grinned: "I’ll take you out."

With that, Ye Xuan released the power of the Taoist Body.

Intertwined with the power of the seven Immortal Bodies.

"This is..."

Upon sensing the seven Immortal Bodies’ power on Ye Xuan, the creature’s eyes underwent several changes: "Why do you possess the aura of each Immortal King?"

"Because he is the Undying Night Emperor."

The Tree God said leisurely.
