Lie Lei asked Duan Gujin, "Do you know what that thing is?"

"I don't know! Prepare to retreat at any moment!"

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense; he could distinctly feel that the aura emitted by the dark cloud was extremely terrifying, resembling a giant black hole capable of devouring various living creatures.

Meanwhile, many Martial Artists nearby sensed the terrifying energy filling the dark cloud in the sky, fleeing in all directions, not wanting to get involved.

At this moment, Duan Gujin's mind was racing; he was trying to figure out exactly what the dark cloud appearing before him was.

After a little while, he suddenly understood.

"I remember now, that must be the Netherworld Dark Clan's treasure, the Nine Nether Dark Sea!"

He connected the descriptions he had learned about the Nine Nether Dark Sea in his previous life with the dark cloud he was currently observing.

Initially, he hadn't considered the dark cloud to be the Netherworld Dark Clan's Nine Nether Dark Sea for several reasons.

Firstly, among the many treasures of the Netherworld Dark Clan, the Nine Nether Dark Sea was not the most significant, and the outside world knew very little about it.

People from the outside world only knew that once the Nine Nether Dark Sea was released, it would completely envelop the surrounding void.

Once a region was enveloped by the mist released from the treasure, it would appear as if the entire area were in the sea.

Hence, Martial Artists from other continents referred to this kind of treasure of the Netherworld Dark Clan as the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

"Indeed, the treasure currently appearing in the sky should be one of the Netherworld Dark Clan's ten great treasures, the Nine Nether Dark Sea!"

After a careful analysis for a while, Duan Gujin guessed that the dark cloud in the sky was actually an illusion formed by the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

"Could the person inside the Nine Nether Dark Sea right now be Jialuo Demon King?"

The more he thought about it, the more Duan Gujin felt that it must be Jialuo Demon King controlling the Nine Nether Dark Sea.

"If it's not Jialuo Demon King, then surely no one else could control the Nine Nether Dark Sea."

Duan Gujin thought of the Netherworld Sect's Sect Master, Han Zhanyi; his mind raced, considering that with Han Zhanyi's capability, it shouldn't be possible to master control of one of the Netherworld Dark Clan's ten great treasures, the Nine Nether Dark Sea, within such a brief period.

"The Nine Nether Dark Sea is one of the Netherworld Dark Clan's ten great treasures; for the Human Clan to control it, one must first possess the Netherworld Treasure Pearl. Without the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, a Human Warrior simply cannot control the Nine Nether Dark Sea."

After some thinking, Duan Gujin ruled out the possibility that Han Zhanyi was controlling the Nine Nether Dark Sea; he felt that the person currently in control of it couldn't possibly be Han Zhanyi and was very likely Jialuo Demon King.

What Duan Gujin couldn't figure out was, how Jialuo Demon King managed to escape from the ruins last time.

Thunderous noises were incessant, and in the next moment, Duan Gujin saw the top floor of the Star Pill Association headquarters completely collapse.

Many people from the Star Pill Association cried out in alarm; in their hearts, the Star Pill Association was one of the top powers on the Qiankun Continent.

Previously on the Qiankun Continent, they had almost always strutted around; no one dared to speak ill of the Star Pill Association in front of them.

The reason why the Star Pill Association was the center of attention on the Qiankun Continent was indeed because it was genuinely powerful.

Now, someone had actually invaded the Star Pill Association and destroyed their headquarters without restraint.

Should this news spread, it would surely deal a heavy blow to the reputation of the Star Pill Association.

From then on, everyone in Qiankun Continent would question the strength of the Star Pill Association.

Having realized this, the upper echelon of the Star Pill Association was very anxious; they had already summoned all the experts they could.

"We can't keep being passive; we have to take the initiative to counterattack!"

At the high-level meeting of the Star Pill Association, many had the same thought flashing through their minds.

"Good!"

The Alliance Hierarch of the Star Pill Association also knew that the dark clouds in the sky were incredibly oppressive. If they continued to only defend passively, it was foreseeable that they would be at a great disadvantage in the upcoming battles.

Attack is the best form of defense!

Outside the Star Pill Association, Duan Gujin sensed the Nine Nether Dark Sea in the sky suddenly burst forth with an even more formidable pressure. He knew then that the mysterious power behind the Nine Nether Dark Sea was readying a fierce assault.

"Retreat!"

He quickly sent a message to Lie Lei, instructing him to fall back together with him.

Lie Lei also felt the terrifying pressure bursting from the dark clouds in the sky, and he too knew that the mastermind controlling these clouds was about to launch a fierce attack.

Immediately, they transformed into a bolt of lightning and rapidly dashed towards a location far away from the headquarters of the Star Pill Association.

The next moment, countless dark clouds descended from the sky like a sandstorm, completely engulfing the entire building as if it were nightfall.

Boom boom boom!

The deafening roar was relentless.

Then, everyone saw the entire headquarters building of the Star Pill Association completely collapse.

Although the executives of the Star Pill Association had decided to counterattack against the dark clouds, they failed; they could not get close to the clouds.

When those executives from the Star Pill Association attempted to approach the dark clouds, they found a powerful Space Crystal Wall had appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

The high-level executives of the Star Pill Association used all possible means to bombard the Space Crystal Wall, but they all failed.

Many executives of the Star Pill Association continued to channel Primordial Power into the Defensive Magic Array they had set up there. Although the array wasn't completely destroyed by the dark clouds, it was nearly shattered. It could barely protect the people inside.

Seeing the entire headquarters of the Star Pill Association razed to the ground, many Alchemists were suddenly struck by fear. They had not expected the forces currently attacking the Star Pill Association to be so fearsome.

"Should we escape or stay behind?"

At that moment, the same thought passed through the minds of many Alchemists.

As they looked up into the sky, they saw the overwhelming dark clouds above.

After a moment's hesitation, they transformed into streaks of light and made a Rapid Escape.

The high-level executives of the Star Pill Association extended their Divine Sense and saw many Alchemists deserting the battlefield. They were extremely angry, but upon seeing the rubble on the ground, their hearts suddenly went cold, realizing they couldn't blame those Alchemists for fleeing.

"This enemy is too strong! Who exactly is this sacred power?"

The same thought simultaneously occurred to many of the high-level executives present.

They all wanted to know who was in control of the dark clouds, but those clouds gave them no answers and simply initiated the attack.

Just as the high-level executives of the Star Pill Association thought they were doomed, suddenly, the pressure emitted by the dark clouds in the sky rapidly weakened, and the clouds began to ascend quickly, moving away.

"What's going on?"

Many present were bewildered, their eyes spinning as they speculated on the intentions behind the dark clouds in the sky.
