The sky in the Demon Realm appears purplish-red during the day and purplish-black at night. As twilight approached, two afterimages streaked across the sky, and when they stopped, the gusts of wind they had stirred finally caught up.

The afterimages were Shen Wang and his father-in-law, Shi Kongxuan. They had been traveling for half a day, crossing tens of thousands of miles to reach a desolate mountain range.

This mountain range is located at the junction of three continents and appears utterly barren, stretching over a hundred thousand miles.

On the way, Shi Kongxuan had already mentioned the situation of the battlefield ruins. This desolate mountain range was once affected by ancient battles and has been in a state of disrepair for many years.

Suddenly, heat waves appeared in the distance. The mountain range took on a slanted posture, and further ahead, the mountains disappeared, giving way to a basin where billowing magma gushed forth. The heat waves were relentless, and some places spewed out unusual flames.

Amid the magma, the earth was cracked, faintly revealing broken walls and ruins.

This place was filled with chaotic Demonic Qi. If one carefully sensed it, they could detect array fluctuations, and even in some places, the space was unstable, conveying a sense of danger.

"Originally, this was a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, a great power's base. Now, it has vanished. This basin was formed by the great war back then, showing how intense the battle was."

Shi Kongxuan remarked with emotion.

During the journey, Shen Wang learned a lot about this forbidden land from Shi Kongxuan. Remaining silent, his Divine Thought began to explore and secretly study the situation here.

"Indeed, there are many incomplete arrays!"

Moments later, Shen Wang's gaze fluctuated, indicating that he could tell this place was likely formed after a complex grand array shattered. The arrays were nested within each other, but even in such a broken state, they still wielded power, showcasing the high level of the original arrays.

Shi Kongxuan took out a Token, seemingly communicating with someone, and then said, "Son-in-law, let's go and regroup with them. Although this place looks desolate, there are actually many adventurers here. There's too much robbery and murder; regrouping quickly will be safer."

The two of them refrained from traversing the void, as doing so might not only lead them into dangerous areas but also draw unnecessary attention.

Keeping close to the ground, Shi Kongxuan took out a map, glanced at it, and proceeded cautiously with Shen Wang.

From above, the Deadly Land looked like a basin, but actually, there were many large mountains and ravines. The Earth Fire rampaged, so both moved forward with great care.

When passing a spouting volcano, Shen Wang had a sense and said, "Stop!"

Shi Kongxuan halted, investigating the front solemnly, then asked puzzledly, "It seems like nothing. Is there any danger?"

"There is no killing intent."

Shen Wang mused, gazing at a rolling magma spot a few miles away: "Come out."

Shi Kongxuan immediately understood someone was hiding ahead, and his face turned wary. This ancient battlefield was indeed a frequent site of robbery and murder.

"Heh, your senses are sharp. Shi Kongxuan, you've brought a good helper."

The magma squirmed, and surprisingly, a bald, muscular man in shorts emerged from the magma. Astonishingly, this man didn't use any protective Divine Techniques, relying purely on his physical body to endure the magma and appeared completely unaffected, as if he were bathing in it.

"Are you... Stone Air Combat?"

Shi Kongxuan recognized the man, his alertness turning to joy: "Still some distance from the meetup point, what are you doing here?"

"Naturally, I came to meet you and prevent any mishaps. Uncle Shuo is ready to set off now, so hurry up."

Another voice came through, and then a skinny old man wearing silver-gray armor emerged from the smoke produced by the volcanic eruption.

"Lei."

Shi Kongxuan was clearly more familiar with this person, smiling as he greeted, "Thank you for making a special trip here. This is my son-in-law Wang Sheng. I brought him to assist Elder Shuo and the others."

He introduced, "This is a cousin of mine from the Stone Race, named Shi Konglei. The three of us are from the same generation."

The latter, with a cold and stern face lined with wrinkles, slightly softened his expression and nodded to Shen Wang: "Enough talk, let's regroup quickly."

Shen Wang cupped his fists in acknowledgment, then followed them. With someone familiar with the area leading the way, their speed increased significantly. They swiftly covered over ten miles and arrived at a mountain hollow where, surprisingly, there were plants, offering a cool sensation.

A yellow banner emblazoned with the fiery red character "Stone" was planted on a slope, with more than ten people scattered around on guard, and under the banner, three stone houses sheltered quite a few people.

Scanning the area, Shen Wang noticed that everyone here was at least at the level of a Demon General. To explore dangerous areas like this, Demon General was the minimum strength requirement.

"Elder Shuo, I've brought Kongxuan and the others over."

Shi Konglei approached respectfully.

"Then let's set off, the injured stay here and wait."

A deep voice resounded, followed by several powerful individuals stepping out, one of whom, an old man with a bristly beard, was unfathomable.

This elder's eyes radiated Golden Light, scanning Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan, finally pausing on Shen Wang: "Quite the foundation."

"Greetings, Elder Shuo."

Shi Kongxuan quickly bowed.

"Hmm, by coming here, you've done this old man a great service. Once this matter is over, you will be rewarded accordingly."

Stone Changshuo shifted his gaze away, leaving the injured behind and leading over twenty people flying towards the deeper parts of the ruins.

Shen Wang followed along, glancing at those left behind in the house. Most were wounded, including some High-Level Demon Venerables, whose Realm was comparable to his, which made him more cautious.

"One Demon Saint, eight Demon Venerables, and fifteen Demon Generals. This is the strongest lineup I've ever seen. If such a lineup can cause so many injuries, this time probably won't be any better. The current plan is to quickly unravel the dangers here."

Shen Wang focused on the broken arrays along the way. His current level of arrays was not low, and even if the arrays here were fragmented and had undergone many changes, as long as he could figure out the basic situation, he would have a more efficient response even in the face of danger.

As they ventured deeper, the environment became harsher. From time to time, Earth Fire would erupt from the magma, and any slight negligence could lead to severe damage or even life-threatening situations.

Whish!

While Shen Wang was fully engaged in studying the arrays along the way, a whooshing sound arose, and figures paused. Some had hideous faces like evil spirits, while others were human in appearance.

Among them, someone cast a cold, harsh glance over, catching Shi Kongxuan's attention as he exclaimed in surprise, "Zhixiang!"

"Even the Yaksha Race came."

Shen Wang recognized the person and also spotted Lady Lizi. The duo's gaze was rather vicious, but he didn't care, instead focusing on the most powerful presence among these people.

Which was also a Demon Saint.

Shi Kongxuan was surprised to find that his son ignored him, snorting coldly: "Shi Zhixiang, what are you doing in such a dangerous place?"

"Old thing, I don't need your meddling anymore!" Shi Zhixiang didn't even address him as father, his tone quite dismissive.

"You insolent brat, what are you saying!"

Shi Kongxuan fumed with anger.

"Shi Kongxuan, my son has now returned to the Yaksha Race with me. The bond with your Shi Family has ended, so stop acting all high and mighty."

Lady Lizi sneered, making Shi Kongxuan's face contort with anger.

"Humph, Kongxuan, I told you long ago that these Yaksha aren't easy to get along with, and now you've raised children for someone else for nothing."

Shi Konglei spoke, causing Shi Kongxuan's face to turn ashen.
