Boom!

The fiery light shot up to the sky, the flames within the second layer of the Fire Domain all roiled up as if stimulated by some force, scattering everywhere, not daring to come near the Fire Well, because the flames erupting from the Fire Well were far more powerful than those in the first, second, and third layers of the Fire Domain. This Fire Well seemed to directly connect to the fourth layer of the Fire Domain, the very core of the Flame Valley. So, the flames within this Fire Well were those of the fourth layer of the Fire Domain. It's unclear who possessed such great divine skills to create this Fire Well and divert the fourth layer's flames, bypassing the third—this isn't just any ordinary divine skill!

Swish!

A person engulfed entirely in flames stood by the Fire Well. The young Fire Qilin was startled, but soon a joyful expression appeared on its face because it knew that Ye Tianchen wasn't dead. The person willing to play with it wasn't dead, still alive. Throwing Ye Tianchen's body into the Fire Well was indeed the right choice.

"Little one, don't worry, I'm still alive. I have important things to attend to now, but I'll come back to play with you when I can!" Ye Tianchen said, looking at the young Fire Qilin.

"Mm-hmm!" The young Fire Qilin nodded vigorously in response.

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen disappeared, enveloped in fiery light. He did not repel the fire from his body but instead charged towards the Devouring Sky Canyon in such a state because Ye Tianchen clearly understood that with his current cultivation realm and comprehension, it was impossible to control the flames within the Flame Valley. It was only because the Life Fire inside was burning like this, seemingly forcing out the energy from that fiery red grape and absorbing it, that his body was also coated with a layer of powerful flame. This flame might quickly vanish, and Ye Tianchen aimed to charge into the Devouring Sky Canyon with it before it disappeared, making it impossible for anyone to stop him. As for the flames in the Fire God Gourd, they were collected from the Fire Well, obviously the deepest fire seeds of the Flame Valley. With this in hand, dealing with the terrifying entity behind Devouring Sky Village should be no problem!

At this moment, within Devouring Sky Canyon, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, Tian Boguang, and Hu Gao joined the battlefield. Daley, with mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, and an elder from Devouring Sky Village at early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm were also incredibly strong. Without the five of them attacking together, there was no chance of victory.

It was beyond expectation for Daley and another Martial Saint expert from Devouring Sky Village, given their cultivation realms far exceeded those of the five by at least one realm, to still be evenly matched against their united assault. This was indeed abnormal.

Bam!

Several powerful Martial Arts True Power clashed, pushing both sides apart slightly. Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, Tian Boguang, Hu Gao, all looked seriously forward. They naturally understood that one misstep could lead to their annihilation. Their deaths wouldn't matter, but it would doom the villagers of Desolate Stone Village. Even if placed under the protection of the Shaolin's Buddhist Sacred Land by Ye Tianchen, the villagers of Desolate Stone Village were still too vulnerable without their protection. Caution was necessary; they were facing two peak martial experts. Achieving a draw in battle was already remarkable.

"What a pity, you five are all powerful young generation warriors with immense understanding and talent, yet you choose to oppose our Devouring Sky Village. You're doomed to die here!" another Martial Saint expert from Devouring Sky Village said coldly.

"Indeed, with your talent and understanding among your peers, you are undoubtedly outstanding, otherwise impossible to resist us for so long. But if we exert our full force, none of you will survive. I think it's better to submit to our Devouring Sky Village, work for us, and ensure your survival. How about it?" Daley contemplated and said.

"Do you think we would agree?" Tianshuang sneered.

"We're here to kill you, such a demand is impossible!" Dongfang Meng stated firmly.

"I say, Brother Hu Gao, do you think these two old folks have gone crazy? To make such a demand of someone as handsome as me, do they really think I'm that kind of person?" Tian Boguang said, exasperated.

"You're not that kind of person, and neither am I. I'm just as handsome, and such a surrendering and shameful act is not something I, Hu Gao, would ever do. I am a person with noble beliefs," Hu Gao responded with equal contempt.

"Since you're seeking death, don't blame me!" A heavy killing intent filled Daley's eyes. With a gentle beckon of his right hand, a giant axe, a treasure refined by someone at the late-stage peak Martial Saint realm, appeared in his hand. Dongfang Meng and the others could never withstand it. There was no such possibility.

Seeing Daley wield a Martial Saint realm treasure, Dongfang Meng and the others frowned, their expressions turning serious. No one dared to be careless. If Daley used a Martial Saint realm treasure, there would definitely be casualties.

Puff!

Just as Daley was about to take action, the Martial Saint expert from Devouring Sky Village behind him suddenly exploded into a mist of blood without even a scream, and the blood mist was instantly absorbed by a powerful black wind. The aura was like darkness descending, suppressing this world. Daley felt a chill run down his spine, and Dongfang Meng and the others were also on the verge of collapse, almost suffocating from just the presence of this aura. The strength of this aura alone was enough to show its terrifying power. The person emitting this aura was so powerful that it sapped any courage to fight!

Soon, a humanoid black storm descended in front of Daley. When Daley saw this black storm, he trembled all over with fear and hurriedly knelt down, saying with utmost reverence, "Master, have you, have you come out?"

"You can't even handle such a small matter. I think you don't want to live anymore!" came a cold voice from within the black storm.

"This... Master, I... Ye Tianchen hasn't appeared. I was afraid of alarming them, so..." Daley hastily explained with a trembling voice.

"Hmph, no need to be so timid. Now that I've come out, I will sweep across the Three Great Ancient Martial Worlds, devour the people here first, and then personally catch those villagers from Desolate Stone Village!" the person in the black storm snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes, Master, you will definitely succeed. In the Three Great Ancient Martial Worlds, no one is your match!" Daley quickly echoed.

The terrifying entity behind Devouring Sky Village had appeared, something even Daley didn't expect. It immediately devoured another Martial Saint level expert from Devouring Sky Village upon its appearance. It seems this terrifying entity, similar to the Black Rat God, feeds on the flesh and blood of powerful human clan martial artists to enhance its cultivation, a cruel method of cultivation and one of the key reasons why the human clan became food for ancient alien races in ancient times.

At this moment, the humanoid creature within the black storm was shrouded entirely in black air currents, obscuring its form and leaving one to wonder what kind of monster it could be. Even probing with powerful divine thought revealed nothing, as the black air current spun like a black tornado, emanating a suppressive aura that seemed insurmountable.

"Just a bunch of ants. How dare you challenge me? In ancient times, you wouldn't have lasted long enough for me to act personally. However, it's fine; the constitution of you five is strong and distinguished among martial artists. After devouring your flesh and blood, I will restore some of my former skill—this is a good thing!" the eerie, sinister voice inside the black storm said.

"Damn, this monster wants to eat us, how disgusting!" Tian Boguang cursed.

"No way, my handsome body is going to be eaten? No, no, how about you eat this guy first, he looks tastier!" Hu Gao unreliably suggested while looking at Tian Boguang.

"You are too disloyal. As your big brother, in the face of such danger, if I were you, I would rush up to be eaten first, to create an escape opportunity for the big brother," Tian Boguang said, displeased, looking at Hu Gao.

"No way, offering myself to this monster is something I really can't do. How about I excrete something for it to eat? Maybe it would prefer that," Hu Gao said, looking at the black storm.

Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, and Zhang Ruotong all had black lines on their heads, utterly impressed with Tian Boguang and Hu Gao. Really, at such a critical moment, with the terrifying entity from Devouring Sky Village appearing and its mere aura making them all nearly collapse with a sense of inevitable defeat, these two were still in the mood to joke. It was truly remarkable, so impressive!

"Have you two had enough?" Tianshuang asked irritably.

"Watch out!" Dongfang Meng whispered urgently.

Rumble!

The terrifying entity made its move, unleashing a giant hand that descended from the sky, covering Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, Tian Boguang, and Hu Gao underneath it, with a world-destroying momentum that came crashing down… (To be continued.
