Chapter 2855: Yellow Sand Secret Realm

The moment his words fell, the person before him changed in appearance—from the armor of Shen State to the spear in his hand, suddenly everything was different.

He Yue's face also changed.

Though that face bore some resemblance to He Yue, Bai Zhan Tian could tell at a glance that they were clearly two different people.

From appearance, cultivation, to aura.

He blurted out: "Nine Nether?"

The Nine Nether Great Emperor has finally arrived! Their plan succeeded!

"With evil guests at the door, I, the host, can only return to receive them properly." He Lingchuan spoke, and as he opened his mouth, black smoke swirled beneath both sides' feet, like a bubbling marsh hiding countless monsters.

"Today's battle, you will surely die. But the Holy Sovereign holds you in high regard; if you can see the bigger picture, then everyone can leave this place alive, including you and your younger brother, Panlongcheng, the Earth Mother Plains, and the Great Square Vase will also be preserved." This was indeed the attitude of the Lingxu Holy Sovereign; Bai Zhan Tian said this while carefully avoiding two bursting bubbles, striving to analyze the power composition of this heaven and earth.

This aura was not Yuan Li at all, but abnormally gloomy and terrifying, making him feel disgust from the bottom of his heart.

Apart from the Lingxu Holy Sovereign himself, in all these years, Bai Zhan Tian had never encountered a power that, upon contact, would instinctively warn him to be careful, careful, and careful again, never to let the other side entangle him.

However, Nine Nether had just come from Ju City here, without going to deal with Jia Lou Tian who was besieging the city, but instead first came to find him and Tong Ming Zhenjun—what does this mean? Do they think that the two of us together are not as difficult to handle as Jia Lou Tian alone?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhan Tian felt slightly annoyed.

"Those who cannot get out alive are you." He Lingchuan remained calm and composed, endless black smoke emanating from his body, the dark sky growing ever larger.

Using the karma sky curtain once again, he was far more proficient than the first time.

"The Sea Emperor Xuan Du is already waiting for you in the Nine Springs. Hurry up, and you might still keep him company."

Bai Zhan Tian's face changed drastically: "What did you say?"

His first reaction was that Nine Nether was talking nonsense again. This fellow dares to call himself the reincarnation of the Dragon God and the Nine Nether Great Emperor, and there are still many people in the world who firmly believe it, showing he is just a shameless liar.

But how could he blurt out Sea Emperor Xuan Du?

Xuan Du is the hidden trump card of this plan, and the true self is not even in the Earth Mother Plains. Then there is only one possibility: Nine Nether has already been to the Land of Dreams!

Thinking of this, Bai Zhan Tian broke out in a cold sweat:

If Nine Nether could escape unharmed from the Divine Kingdom of Huan Le, then could the Earth Mother God Soul, originally trapped in the dream, also return to reality?

Their plan is in big trouble!

He Lingchuan was waiting for this very moment when his mind and spirit were greatly shaken; the Floating Life Sword rose, and within the dark sky curtain, a tremendous change suddenly erupted!

……

Tong Ming Zhenjun had just stepped into the southern gate of Panlong Ancient City when ahead lay a vast Gobi desert.

Yellow sand paved the path, strong winds blinded the eyes, vegetation was sparse, and dark red giant stones stood in strange shapes—indeed, this is the common terrain of the Panlong Wasteland.

Where in the Secret Realm are they located?

Where is Panlongcheng in the Secret Realm?

Yun Qing Shen whispered to Tong Ming Zhenjun: "Heavenly Sovereign, we still cannot contact Jia Lou Tianzun. Perhaps this Secret Realm can also block communication methods?"

Another heavenly demon followed: "If the Secret Realm has absorbed the entire Panlong Wasteland, then it will most likely place us at the farthest point from the ancient city. This would slow down our meeting with Jia Lou Tianzun, giving the Cang Yan people more time."

All the heavenly demons found this funny—this is truly a boring trick.

Tong Ming Zhenjun did not say much more, only saying: "Release the flying ants, and quickly find the location of Panlongcheng."

Yun Qing Shen responded, pulling from his bosom a wooden nest the size of a steamed bun, covered with fine holes.

He lightly tapped the wooden nest twice, and a large swarm of white ants flew out. These white ants are quite large, each nearly the size of a sparrow; after leaving the nest, they surged upward in dark clouds, flying in all directions.

They are Yun Qing Shen's eyes and ears, capable of surveying terrain, searching for life, and transmitting messages.

This Gobi desert is truly vast and desolate—no living thing in sight, only the wind howling. Tong Ming Zhenjun casually picked a direction and walked forward, his feet making a rustling sound. Here is a stretch of sand; the further he walked, the softer his steps became, sinking deeper.

Tong Ming Zhenjun also said nothing more, casually activating a gravity-sealing domain.

Within the domain's range, he could freely adjust the strength of gravity. The heavenly demons immediately regained their lightness like swallows, walking on the sand as if gulls on duckweed, relying entirely on their light bodies.

But after walking only over a hundred zhang, Tong Ming Zhenjun noticed the loose sand beneath his feet seemed to lift slightly upward, and his footing felt off.

He took a side step to dodge, and just heard a "hualala" sound as a monster burst from underground. Had he not dodged quickly, he would have been snatched into its mouth by now.

This creature is about five zhang long, resembling both a shark and an earth dragon, with a broad back bearing spiky, long fins, and its mouth filled with interlocking fangs—if bitten, the taste would surely be unpleasant.

After missing its strike, it twisted its head and retreated into the sand, as smoothly as a shark swimming in water.

Soon after, other heavenly demons also came under attack. Monsters surging up from the sand bottom to attack came one after another without end.

To make matters worse, the sand blocked the heavenly demons' vision, preventing them from seeing where or from which direction the monsters would attack. Moreover, the way these monsters leapt from the sand sea to attack was like great white sharks—without any warning. Tong Ming Zhenjun could even see their towering dorsal fins drawing a zigzag in the sand before charging at their prey.

They did not know this was a monster specially grown in sandy and gravelly worlds, called the Earth Dragon Larva, most skilled at attacking from beneath the sand. One heavenly demon failed to dodge in time, his right leg bitten by the Earth Dragon Larva; had Tong Ming Zhenjun not intervened promptly, he would have been dragged underground.

What fate awaits underground? Nothing more than being torn apart by five horses.

"Hurry up!"

The number of these ghostly things seems endless. Tong Ming Zhenjun had no intention of lingering here with them, wanting to lead his subordinates to quickly leave the Gobi desert. However, after the heavenly demons ran several li, the view ahead was still endless yellow sand, with no sign of any buildings. And such a yellow sand kingdom remains the domain of the Earth Dragon Larva.

Not right, totally not right!

"The Panlong Wasteland we knew never had these things before." Yun Qing Shen came over beside him, "Moreover, the flying ants I released have already scouted dozens of li around, yet not even a single broken tile or ruined wall was seen."

Walking further ahead, it was all like this desert. Tong Ming Zhenjun said nothing, stepped firmly on the sand twice, only hearing a few "kakala" sounds, like loud friction. Immediately, within a radius of a hundred zhang centered on him, the sand was flattened by an invisible force—high parts leveled, depressions filled.
