Chapter 821: Triumphant Return

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The power of their combined Mutant Blood Phoenix was magnificent and earth-shattering.

Aside from Ao Niu, who was somewhat mentally prepared, the Divine Poison Frog, the groundhog, and Gluttony were all frightened by the sudden explosion.

Dongfang Zhuangshi clapped his hands together with excitement. “Fantastic! This is true power! As expected, they did not disappoint me!

“But… why is that power so familiar?”

Terrifying red flames engulfed the entire blue passageway, and the power of frost was completely unable to combat these devastating flames without the power of Pangu to reinforce it.

A crisp crack sounded.

The power core began to crack and crumble.

The power of extreme frost slowly began to recede as it lost its power core.

The flames were still surging when a pair of eyes that seemed to contain the entire world suddenly appeared at the location where the sigil had been destroyed. The eyes had only just opened when the crimson flames disappeared.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s bodies were immediately tightly wound upon seeing this. Those eyes were very familiar to them, as they had seen those very same eyes during the Heavenly Judgement phenomenon!

They learned from Dongfang Zhuangshi that the Oppressive Stars, Heavenly Judgement, and Almighty Reversal were all powers of laws left behind by Pangu.

As such, it was not an exaggeration to say that these were Pangu’s eyes.

The two of them experienced a sense of boundless pressure, as if they were being confronted by the entire heaven and earth, leaving them to feel extremely tiny and insignificant in comparison.

The eyes turned to An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, and in that instant, An Lin felt as if his heart had stopped beating as fear surged through his entire body.

However, the eyes only lingered on An Lin for several more seconds before slowly disappearing.

The pressure around them abruptly vanished, and An Lin and Xu Xiaolan heaved a sigh of relief.

Only now did they realize that both of their hands were sweating profusely as they held on tightly to one another.

“Haha… This is great! Pangu’s frost sigil has finally disappeared, and I’m free!” the middle-aged man outside the gate yelled excitedly as the Kirin horn on his head glowed with elation.

He led Gluttony as well as all the other beasts toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan excitedly. “Thank you both so very much! If it wasn’t for you two, I would be trapped here and subjected to endless torment!

“Heh, I told you I’d free you from this place, and I deliver on my promises!” An Lin said nonchalantly.

Dongfang Zhuangshi’s opinion of him elevated even further. This human male’s cultivation base was not very high, but his aptitude, dao heart, and poise all indicated that he was going to be an exceptional mighty figure who would stand at the pinnacle of this world someday!

He turned toward the Vast Land of Blood and made some hand seals as crimson energy fluctuations rippled outward to infinity and beyond, even triggering resonance with heaven and earth.

“What are you doing?” An Lin asked with curiosity.

“Master is putting away the Vast Land of Blood,” Gluttony answered.

Its voice had only just faded when the floating continent outside began to twist and shrink before being sucked into a peculiar space. It continued to shrink further and further until it finally completely disappeared!

An Lin could see a crimson bead being held between Dongfang Zhuangshi’s teeth.

He could sense an extremely vast spatial power from within that bead.

That bead was essentially a portable floating continent! How bad*ss!

Outside the blue gate was a vast expanse of empty space. On one end was the starry sky while on the other end was the inky-black earth, but the red star had ceased to exist in this world.

“It looks like many of the beasts that are here are going to get lost…” An Lin lamented in a soft voice.

Just the yellow star alone was not enough to indicate the location of the exit. After all, the exit was not located on the yellow star. Without the blood star as a second reference point, they could only stumble upon the exit through sheer luck…

However, An Lin was not some saint that would care about whether those beasts lived or died.

Under the guidance of Dongfang Zhuangshi, they continued onward…

Within the Divine Bat Emperor’s territory.

Above a massive crater in the ground.

There was a gate of light shimmering over a crimson vortex. This was the exit of the mystic realm.

A humanoid creature enshrouded in viscous black mist stood not far away from the exit.

Three Return to Void Stage immortal beasts stood beside it, waiting for the beasts to return from the mystic realm.

The Jade Bone Immortal Bug was also among them, and its sapphire eyes were trained firmly on the exit.

It knew that the moment An Lin and Xu Xiaolan appeared would be the moment they would have to run for their lives.

The trusted subordinate of the Divine Bat Emperor, the Return to Void Final Stage Nightmare Mud Man was here. Hence, the next step of their operation was going to be exceedingly precarious, and they couldn’t make any mistakes.

Another flash of light erupted, and a black wooly mammoth riddled with wounds appeared.

The Nightmare Mud Man waved a hand, and five humanoid monsters materialized from its viscous black mist before searching the woolly mammoth’s spatial storage device.

“Hmph! Useless piece of trash!”

It was in a bad mood, and the woolly mammoth had clearly not obtained anything worthy of note.

The first few batches of beasts would occasionally return from the mystic realm with some treasures or information regarding the Vast Land of Blood. However, the most recent few batches of beasts had a higher survival rate, but barely any of them had any valuable information or obtained any noteworthy treasures.

“I wonder how the Divine Guardian Squad is progressing. It looks like I can only pin my hopes on them to unravel the biggest mystery behind the crimson star.” The Nightmare Mud Man shook its head with a forlorn sigh.

The team lead by the Peerless Saber Demon was quite reliable. Up to this point, there were no Divine Guardian Squad members that had returned. They were presumably all fighting to obtain the Kirin Blood Jade.

Just as the Nightmare Mud Man was being carried away by its train of thought, change suddenly struck.

The gigantic crimson vortex suddenly began to dim; even the power exuding from within the vortex had significantly decreased.

“What… what’s going on?” The Nightmare Mud Man stared with incredulity at the scenes unfolding before its eyes as an ominous thought welled up in its heart. “Could it be… that the passageway to the mystic realm is about to close?!”

No, I have to contact the Divine Bat Emperor!

The change had struck too abruptly, and it was not something it could handle.

The Nightmare Mud Man was just about to contact the Divine Bat Emperor when change struck again.

Whoosh…

Spatial fluctuations began to ripple outward again.

The Nightmare Mud Man turned to the gate of light to discover a figure with shiny, golden fur and two snowy-white sabers in its hands.

The Nightmare Mud Man was ecstatic upon seeing this. This was the leader of the Divine Guardian Squad, the Peerless Saber Demon!

Fantastic, it was back! Such a reliable groundhog surely had bountiful rewards to show for its efforts!

Beside it was the Divine Poison Frog, which was also a member of the Divine Guardian Squad!

The Nightmare Mud Man was greatly elated.

The Divine Poison Frog was one of the more extroverted members of the Divine Guardian Squad. It was a reliable member, and it appeared to be quite loyal too. Even though both its parents had passed away and it no longer had a home, it was constantly talking about going home, thereby indicating that it was a frog that truly loved those around it!

For some reason, the Nightmare Mud Man’s impression of the Divine Poison Frog improved yet again. Perhaps this was due to the fact that it had made a triumphant return…

The Nightmare Mud Man was going to greet them in person to show its respect, but it discovered that there were a few more figures that didn’t appear to be members of the Divine Guardian Squad.

There were a white cow and a monster with a goat’s body and a human face. Why was the latter so familiar?

Soon, the Nightmare Mud Man’s expression congealed on its face when it saw three humans!

No… One of them was a humanoid creature, but it had a crimson kirin horn!

The Nightmare Mud Man drew a sharp intake of breath.

Who was that person?!
