Ye Chenfeng's four statues overwhelm Luo Yishou's statue, destroying it and leaving Luo Yishou severely injured. Dong Chengchi and Xu Liyun, witnessing this, surrender. However, Ye Chenfeng insists on their demise. He and his allies defeat Dong Chengchi and Xu Liyun, crippling them before extracting information about the "Land of the Fallens" ruins via soul search. Shen Xiutian executes the crippled enemies. Ye Chenfeng reveals the Land of the Fallens was a battlefield from the Chaos Era where powerful warriors fought extraterrestrial demons, and that Luo Yishou's group found their techniques there.

Luo Yishou and three other ancestors of the Sky Feather Sect have died.

Ye Chenfeng also learned about the Chaos Era relic discovered by the Sky Feather Sect.

Four colossal statues returned to him, and he found three tokens on Luo Yishou and the other two.

These three tokens are necessary for smoothly reaching the Land of the Fallens.

The Land of the Fallens is said to be an extremely ominous place, yet Ye Chenfeng still wants to explore it as Luo Yishou and others indeed gained benefits from there.

Old Demon Nanshan and Shen Xiutian have also heard of the Land of the Fallens.

"Benefactor, I didn’t expect the discovery by the Sky Feather Sect to be the Land of the Fallens. Some obscure manuals record that place as very wicked." Old Demon Nanshan said with a solemn expression.

Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, "The Sky Feather Sect discovered the Land of the Fallens some time ago. Based on the memories I obtained from the minds of those three old guys, they have only explored part of it. There are many unexplored areas still."

"Since the Land of the Fallens is a battlefield from the Chaos Era, there might be many valuable things left behind."

Shen Xiutian agreed, "Indeed, as they say, ’Only by entering the tiger’s den can one get tiger cubs.’ I think our benefactor is right; knowing the location of the Land of the Fallens, it would be a pity not to go there."

Old Demon Nanshan naturally cooperated with Ye Chenfeng’s decision, and the three of them left the place.

Besides the three ancestors, only the Sect Master and Inner Elders knew about the Land of the Fallens.

Most importantly, the sect of Sky Feather had changed its nature completely; all those young boys and girls were secretly collected by the Inner Sect disciples of Sky Feather Sect.

The Outer Sect Elders and Disciples were generally unaware, so before leaving the Sky Feather Sect, Ye Chenfeng and the others cleansed the entire Inner Sect.

Due to the distance between the Inner and Outer Sects, the Outer Sect disciples and Elders couldn’t enter the Inner Sect casually, so Ye Chenfeng and the others’ actions didn’t affect the Outer Sect. Given their battle power, any action they took was nearly instant annihilation. After all, since the three ancestors of the Sky Feather Sect were dead, the rest were hardly a threat.

After handling the Inner Sect quietly, Ye Chenfeng and the others left the Sky Feather Sect as if nothing happened.

Ye Chenfeng temporarily sealed Skyhawk’s head and placed it in the miniature world within the Chaos Ring.

Based on the information obtained from the minds of Luo Yishou and the others, Ye Chenfeng and the others embarked towards the direction of the Land of the Fallens.

After traveling across the void for an hour.

Ye Chenfeng and the others stopped in front of a valley, where the entrance to the Land of the Fallens was located.

Initially, Luo Yishou and the others stumbled upon this valley by accident and subsequently discovered the Land of the Fallens.

Later, they converted the valley into a cemetery, where all deceased elders and disciples of the Sky Feather Sect were buried, making it their territory without attracting much attention.

At the valley entrance, only four early Divine Venerable Realm members of the Sky Feather Sect guarded it.

These four were trusty individuals to Luo Yishou and the others, but Ye Chenfeng and the others didn’t show mercy, directly dispatching them.

After entering the valley.

The valley was vast, with neatly erected tombstones making it resemble a massive cemetery.

Scanning around, there was nothing out of the ordinary; fortunately, Ye Chenfeng had already learned everything from Luo Yishou and the others’ minds.

He walked to a rock wall on the right side, which had three inconspicuous grooves on it.

He pressed the three obtained tokens into the grooves.

Immediately, a gap opened on the rock wall, and Ye Chenfeng, Old Demon Nanshan, and Shen Xiutian entered the gap.

After entering the gap, it led to a spacious cave.

Deep within the cave lay a peculiar square pool filled with blue liquid.

This pool was there from the time Luo Yishou and the others originally discovered this place, serving as the entrance to the Land of the Fallens.

Ye Chenfeng said to Shen Xiutian and Old Demon Nanshan, "Once inside, we operate the spiritual energy river within our meridians simultaneously."

As the three entered the pool.

They immediately began circulating the spiritual energy river within their meridians.

The blue liquid in the pool rapidly rotated, its speed increasing continuously, furiously wrapping around them. Within moments, they vanished into the pool.

Ye Chenfeng and the others felt their bodies shake, and when they reappeared, they found themselves in another world.

Looking around, the place was extraordinarily vast.

However, the color of the earth was blood-red, the sky overshadowed, and the mountains were black.

This should be the Land of the Fallens.

Legends say, from the battles of old, countless blood turned this land blood-red.

The air was filled with a bloody scent; could so many years have passed without the smell thoroughly dissipating?

Ye Chenfeng and the others started walking step by step.

But Ye Chenfeng’s brow furrowed tighter; he realized something was amiss, an endless killing intent was brewing within him, and he struggled to control it.

He glanced at Old Demon Nanshan and Shen Xiutian beside him; their eyes were equally blood-red, immersed in the killing intent.

The air here was suspicious.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly realized this.

Perhaps due to the death of too many powerful figures here, the air was tainted with countless grievances and evil qi.

With the passage of time, these grievances and evil qi hid within the air, merging with it.

Ordinarily hard to detect, even Ye Chenfeng fell victim.

If this continues, they would undoubtedly produce heart demons within their bodies, drastically altering their personalities once generated.

Luo Yishou and the other three elders were once known as the Three Righteous Elders.

Thinking back, Ye Chenfeng believed their reputation wasn’t entirely unwarranted. Likely after entering here, they unknowingly developed heart demons, unrecognized even by themselves, hence not having detected the peculiarity from their minds previously.

They must escape this state quickly.

Ye Chenfeng’s will was extremely steadfast; he realized the abnormality here, while Old Demon Nanshan and Shen Xiutian hadn’t yet, deeply immersed in the killing intent with their personalities transforming drastically.
