In an instant, Chu Feng seemed to hear the crisp cracking sound of shattering in his mind.

「This is……」

「Has the memory seal been undone? 」

Chu Feng's face filled with astonishment.

In his memory, a fragmented scene emerged.

In this scene, a colossal demonic form stood towering in the firmament, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars.

Demonic might surged, sweeping across the entire Great Wilderness Dynasty! Boom—boundless demonic might crushed the whole Great Wilderness Dynasty, all martial cultivators prostrated on the ground, trembling.

Only see that demonic form laughing wildly, its words revealing the arrogance of looking down on all beings: «How dare ants dare to provoke this emperor's majesty? »

«Simply courting death! »

The demonic form roared, lifted its foot and stomped, causing the Great Wilderness Dynasty to collapse.

Afterward, he turned and gazed at the empty expanse behind him; his face instantly turned livid, and he roared in violent fury.

«Who? Who exactly ruined this emperor's plans»

«Don't hide! »

«Get out here and face death! »

Boom! A vast demonic might swept forth, enveloping the four directions.

«This momentum is astonishing; it definitely reaches the level of a ninth‑tier Martial Lord! »

«Even a peak ninth‑layer Martial Sect expert is far inferior! »

Feeling the terrifying might of that demonic form, Chu Feng trembled all over.

At this moment, he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, just now he did not rashly rush into the altar's light pillar, otherwise he would now be reduced to bones! «Lu Yuan junior brother, where did you get this puppet? »

Chu Feng could not help but ask.

He had once encountered a demon expert while training in the Southern Ridge and personally slew a seventh‑tier demon; according to his estimate, that demon could not be this terrifying! «You mean the huge demonic apparition that appears when the demon army descends upon the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm? »

«It is said that this effigy is a fragment of the demon sage ancestor, possessing the battle power of a Sacred Lord. »

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Lu Yuan pondered briefly and then replied.

«Sacred Lord battle power? »

Chu Feng's heart jolted.

The Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm is merely a trial ground.

How could such a transcendent being arise? The demon sage ancestor—what kind of powerhouse is that? A Sacred Lord and a Quasi‑Emperor realm are worlds apart!

Scanning the whole Southern Ridge, not a single Quasi‑Emperor expert can be found, not even a Martial Emperor.

Thus, among the myriad nations, the Sacred Lord realm is practically invincible! The Sacred Lord realm suppresses the eight wastelands and looks down upon billions of beings; even the leader of the Hundred Sects Alliance, the sect master of the Canglan Sword Pavilion, 'Ye Lingxuan,' is nothing more than a Sacred Lord.

«This altar…»

«Could it truly be the inheritance trial ground of the Myriad Phenomena Legacy? »

«If so, wouldn't that mean a sacred artifact exists within the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm? »

Thinking of this, Chu Feng became excited.

Martial weapons, essence crystals, medicinal pills, treasure armor, formation sigils, plus a sacred artifact—those are three treasures.

If he could obtain the sacred artifact, his battle power would surely soar! By then, even facing a Martial Venerable expert, he would have nothing to fear! «Lu Yuan senior brother, look quickly! »

«It looks like someone is fighting ahead! »

Chu Feng noticed that at the other end of the altar's light pillar stood a familiar figure.

Chu Feng focused his gaze.

Only see, at the deepest part of the light pillar, there is a blood‑red skeletal puppet about a hundred zhang tall, crouched upon the hill.

Around this blood‑red skeleton lie scattered several broken skeletons, all human martial cultivators.

«That skeletal puppet is enormously huge. »

«Could it be the reward for passing the trial, the so‑called Myriad Phenomena Inheritance? »

Seeing the skeletal puppet's ferocious, unmatched terror, akin to a divine spirit, Chu Feng felt a slight tension and hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan backward.

This is the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm! Opportunities and fortunes abound, yet the danger is extremely intense!

If one can safely pass through the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm, then naturally everyone will be delighted.

If one fails and falls within the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm, it is merely bad fortune! Whoosh! Suddenly, the gigantic blood‑red skeleton moved! Its blood‑red bone claws waved, tearing through the void, and it charged straight at Chu Feng and the other.

«Oh no! »

«It has spotted us. » Feeling the blood‑red skeleton's assault, Chu Feng and Lu Yuan both turned pale.

Bang! A muffled grunt sounded, and Lu Yuan was flung backward.

His body was struck by that blood‑red skeleton and slammed into a distant stone wall.

Pfft!

Blood spurted wildly; Lu Yuan's chest caved in, several ribs broke, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, he painfully covered the wound and struggled to rise.

«Lu Yuan junior brother, how are you? »

Chu Feng's face darkened, and he quickly supported Lu Yuan.

At this moment, Chu Feng also had no time for anything else; he swallowed the remaining five drops of pure spiritual liquid within his body.

Boom! Vast spiritual power surged up, nourishing Chu Feng's flesh and simultaneously restoring his nearly exhausted cultivation strength.

Soon.

Chu Feng's injuries have fully recovered!

But Lu Yuan still hasn't recovered, still coughing blood.

"Damn it!"

"That skeleton is incredibly strong; we can't possibly block it!"

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, cursed silently, and was about to take Lu Yuan and flee.

Buzz! Just then, an abrupt change occurred.

Under Chu Feng and Lu Yuan's feet, the altar burst forth with brilliant, dazzling light, then suddenly transformed into a vortex that enveloped the two of them.

In the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng and Lu Yuan disappeared without a trace.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Why is the space world outside the altar's light pillar so unfamiliar?"

Within the altar's space world, Chu Feng frowned incessantly.

At this moment, before him was a black water river stretching a kilometer long.

This black water river is filled with thick demonic qi, giving a feeling of palpitation.

"Huh?"

"What is that?"

Suddenly, Chu Feng glanced into the distance, his pupils constricted sharply.

There, a black-robed old man stood.

The old man's eyes were dim, as if devoid of any vitality!

"Puppet guard?"

"Not right!"

"This puppet guard, though filled with deathly aura, shows no signs of decay; instead it emits strands of holy light, seemingly retaining its former cultivation strength."

"It must be a remnant soul left behind by a powerful expert who was sacrificed!"

Chu Feng was utterly astonished.

In his memory, there was no information about this puppet guard.

Obviously, he had only entered this space world not long ago!

"Since you have fallen, leaving behind such a broken remnant soul, it counts as a dead thing!"

"This black water river is perfect for nurturing new life!"

"Perhaps I can use this black water river to give birth to a holy demon beast, letting you return to your former peak!"

Staring at the remnant soul of the black-robed old man, Chu Feng muttered softly.

Holy demon beasts feed on the remnant souls of experts, enhancing combat power and even improving quality!

"Roar!"

The remnant soul of the black-robed old man let out a hoarse roar.

Immediately, he stepped toward the bank of the black water river.

When he was about ten meters from the black water river, the remnant soul of the black-robed old man halted his form.

He raised his hand and pointed to the center of the black water river, where an uneven black lotus flower grew. (End of chapter)
