However, the earth-shattering explosion did not harm the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, whose madness was terrifying.
Its ugly body, covered in arms and blood eyes, burst forth from the explosion, howling as it continued to pursue Li Muyang.
Li Muyang’s all-out strike only served to slightly hinder the relentless pursuit of the Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
“Caught between a rock and a hard place, this is…”
Li Muyang was somewhat exasperated.
He was fully focused on two things at once, with the Destruction Wheel under mental control flying and spinning nonstop, reaping the little ghosts that blocked his path ahead.
And Mo Immortal, fighting shoulder to shoulder with him, spurred the light of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword to slash continuously backwards, striving to hold back the chasing Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
Having to split his focus in this way made Li Muyang’s path forward even more difficult.
However, due to the arrival of the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, this horrifyingly large monster with evil Qi swirling around it became a massive target, attracting more of the little ghosts’ attacks.
As a result, the number of little ghosts in front of Li Muyang drastically reduced, and the pressure on the Destruction Wheel to reap them plummeted.
As one fell and the other rose, Li Muyang’s speed of advance actually increased.
“…The biggest problem now is how much longer my mana can last.”
Li Muyang mumbled to himself.
With his Cultivation at the Purple Mansion Realm, his mana endurance was far less than that of the Ancestor of Demon Refinement tainted by the Thousand-Eyed Blood God.
If his mana was completely depleted, even without the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, Li Muyang would meet his demise in this endless hell of little ghosts.
But fortunately, his Qiankun Ring was stocked with a large number of elixirs and Spiritual Objects.
Originally, these elixirs and Spiritual Objects were meant to prevent his main body from exhausting mana and perishing in The Peaceful Realms.
Now, they proved their usefulness.
In the mists of The Peaceful Realms, Li Muyang, who sat atop the Green Saber Mantis’s head, opened the Qiankun Ring and continuously poured elixirs into his mouth.
The top-grade Spirit Pills that he couldn’t bear to consume on a normal day were now being gulped down one after another.
After ingesting the top-grade Spirit Pills, they quickly transformed into a warm stream that surged throughout his body, rapidly replenishing the mana Li Muyang had spent.
One pill, two pills, three pills… in the end, Li Muyang couldn’t remember how many top-grade Spirit Pills he had consumed.
Anyhow, all top-grade Spirit Pills inside the Qiankun Ring were finished, and he had also consumed half of the mid-grade Spirit Pills.
Consuming such a huge amount of elixirs in a short time made Li Muyang’s body feel extremely uncomfortable.
Even with his Purple Mansion Realm Cultivation, he was now experiencing severe side effects, as his flesh bubbled, vanished, and then bubbled again, looking incredibly disgusting.
The metabolic waste from the massive consumption of elixirs continued to spray out from the pores of his body.
The stench-ridden blood droplets that flew out of Li Muyang’s body often caused him to grimace in pain.
But, thankfully, this difficult journey eventually reached its end.
When the light of the Yin Life Book pointed toward an ice wall ahead, Li Muyang clearly saw the young girl sleeping tranquilly within the massive ice wall.
Yu Chan!
He had finally found Yu Chan!
A colossal ice wall tens of feet high stretched across the wasteland, with the young girl with closed eyes frozen within it.
One after another, the Evil Ghosts insanely clawed at the ice wall, with countless ice chips and debris flying around, as they tried to dig out the frozen girl.
Now, as Li Muyang arrived, the Destruction Wheel swept across the sky, and one after another, the ugly little ghosts were cleaved and blown away.
Previously, the little ghosts that swarmed over the ice wall like cockroaches were now swept away in an instant.
Li Muyang rushed straight to the massive ice wall and smashed it with a forceful punch.
“Yu Chan! Wake up quickly!”
Li Muyang roared loudly, his soul’s power bombarding the girl trapped in the ice, trying to awaken her.
However, the girl frozen in the ice block showed no reaction, as if she had completely fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing that the Ancestor of Demon Refinement was closing in from behind, Li Muyang did not dare to delay.
With a single sword strike from Mo Immortal, the gigantic ice wall was directly shattered, and the slumbering girl inside fell out, caught by Li Muyang.
Li Muyang, not daring to delay, directly embraced the unconscious Yu Chan, soaring towards the heavens.
Finally, he had found Yu Chan, and he could leave now!
Beneath his feet, countless little devils howled, spreading their wings, and in a screech, they swarmed towards the trying-to-escape Li Muyang.
The sky was filled with the flapping of countless wings, indeed resembling a swarm of cockroaches.
The raging beast among this sea of cockroaches, Ancestor of Demon Refinement, with blood-red eyes, also soared into the sky.
“Vermin of the Netherworld!”
It also brought along a long trail of Evil Ghosts, howling as they chased after Li Muyang.
But Li Muyang had a clear goal and had no intention to linger, continuously flying straight upwards at every moment.
Running endlessly on the vast earth, endless little devils came back to bother, and it seemed that the Qiankun Pot had no boundary.
However, the top of the Qiankun Pot was different.
Li Muyang had only flown for half an hour before he successfully flew out of this gloomy and terrifying prison.
After all, he was not one of the Devils sealed within, and his entry and exit from the Qiankun Pot were unrestricted.
The moment he burst out of the Qiankun Pot, that terrible and tricky poison serpent appeared in Li Muyang’s vision.
This poisonous serpent had been waiting outside the Qiankun Pot all along, clearly observing the movement inside.
But after Li Muyang saved his sister and flew out, the poisonous serpent merely let out a cold, strange laugh and didn’t stop Li Muyang.
As Li Muyang flew out of the Heavenly Evil Divine Palace, he could even hear the serpent’s strange laugh by his ear.
“… Fly faster, Jiang Xiaoyu, your sister is waiting for you to bring her back to life!”
This monster, who had a grudge with Little Wild Grass, seemed to care about Fairy Qinghe’s revival even more than Li Muyang did.
Li Muyang, holding the unconscious Yu Chan, flew unobstructed out of the Heavenly Evil Divine Palace and towards the outside of Heavenly Candle Peak.
The Yin Life Book still hovered above his head, this time guiding him on the way back.
Seeing the clear blue sky outside, Li Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally escaped.
And he had rescued Yu Chan!
All he needed to do next was rush into the fog for safety; the Ancestor of Demon Refinement couldn’t discern directions in the fog!
Li Muyang planned this in his mind.
But just as he flew out of the Heavenly Evil Divine Palace, the cold figure of the Extreme Night God appeared beneath the firmament.
“… You are the vermin of the Netherworld?”
The Extreme Night God frowned as he looked at the unconscious girl in Li Muyang’s arms and said, “Since when have the Evil Vein Clan mixed up with the remnants of the Netherworld?”
Seeing the Extreme Night God blocking the path, Li Muyang felt a sudden tension in his heart—damn it, why did this pest also jump out!
Dammit, there’s no way to live!
Li Muyang didn’t say a word and made his move directly.
The sword of Mo Immortal slashed out, falling towards the Extreme Night God.
Although the winning rate against this monster was 0 up to now, Li Muyang didn’t want to defeat him but to force him back and then rush into the fog.
As long as he could escape into the depths of the fog, he would be safe!
Li Muyang threw down Mo Immortal, turning around and fleeing in another direction.
But just at that moment, a fierce and angry howl came from behind on Heavenly Candle Peak.
The ugly beast, emanating an aura of blood and evil Qi, roared as it flew out of the Heavenly Evil Divine Palace.
“Vermin of the Netherworld must die!”
In an instant, Li Muyang’s retreat was cut off.
The situation turned into being attacked from both front and back in the blink of an eye.
And the fighting power of both enemies far surpassed that of Li Muyang!
