Chapter 435: Returning to the Bizarre Mist

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Bai was the first to emerge from the bizarre mist shrouding Northern Qi in the Fourth World, with Yu Qing, Xuan Ying, Yu Xin, and many warriors of the Demon Scale Race, Radiant Race, and Flame Race following close behind.@@@@

It had been presumed that the Fey Race had slaughtered many of the young and elite members of the foreign races, but they had surprisingly returned safe and sound.

"Lord Li Bai!" greeted a Rank Nine Ghost Race warrior. They represented the Outer God, Zi Mo, and stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Li Bai replied impassively, "I'll personally report to her."

The Patriarch of the Demon Scale Race closed his eyes and used his secret bloodline art and specialized artifact to establish contact with a few entities in the Fifth World.

An hour later, Li Bai opened his eyes. "Let's go."

They boarded the flying vessels awaiting their return around Northern Qi, and the fleet rose to the sky soon after.

Unexpectedly, their course was set for the Third World.

***

The Mountain Ghost Race warriors in the Primordial Wilderness in the Third World had received new orders, instructing them to treat the less intelligent Vicious Beasts with care.

Feeding the Vicious Beasts Bloodthirst Elixirs also became strictly prohibited.

The Mountain Ghost Race warriors could not help but feel a sense of regret when they looked at the Vicious Beasts, with their savage eyes radiating bloodlust and an insatiable hunger for slaughter.

Bloodthirst Elixirs rapidly elevated the bloodline ranks of the Vicious Beasts, enabling them to unleash terrifying power—a formidable asset for breaching strongholds and conquering territories.

As the war progressed, their proficiency in utilizing the Bloodthirst Elixirs had grown, and alongside it, their dependence on them.

The abrupt order to cease using the Bloodthirst Elixirs and instead treat the Vicious Beasts with care left the Mountain Ghost Race warriors struggling to adjust.

Fortunately, a Rank Eight Ice Sculpture Beast from Northern Qi descended soon after the command was given.

The Great Fey hovered above the Rank Five and Rank Six Vicious Beasts.

A viscous, blood-like liquid rained down from its spread wings.

The Vicious Beasts eagerly drank the blood-like liquid as though lapping up the Bloodthirst Elixirs they had grown accustomed to.

Their intelligence started to evolve at a startling rate.

The Vicious Beasts that the Mountain Ghost Race warriors once viewed as mere tools of destruction now exuded profound auras and their combat prowess noticeably increased.

"Bloodline awakenings!"

"The Vicious Beasts have awakened their intelligence!"

"They're transforming and advancing!"

The Mountain Ghost Race warriors were shocked.

"You may now begin your assault on the two continents," the Ice Sculpture Beast from Northern Qi commanded the Mountain Ghost Race warriors and the newly empowered Vicious Beasts. "The Cosmic Skies Continent is the closer of the two."

***

Flying vessels of various designs silently ascended from fragmented lands near the Cosmic Skies Continent under the cover of a cloudy night.

They approached the Cosmic Skies Continent undetected.

Qi Qingsong had been immersing himself in a pleasant dream to temper his divine soul when shouts of battle and cries of slaughter awoke him.

The earth beneath him quaked with a deafening rumble.

Spectral lights could be seen in the pitch-dark distance, shimmering with an uncanny, otherworldly glow.

"The foreign races have invaded the Cosmic Skies Continent!"

"The assault has begun!"

"Prepare for battle!"

A tidal wave of battle cries could be heard from all across the Cosmic Skies Continent.

"Senior Sister Zhuang, the battle has begun!" Qi Qingsong yelled, unsheathing his sword as he joined the ranks of the Sword Pavilion disciples.

When the black turtle was ready, Pang Jian would simply ditch the White Lynx, return to the Resolute Expanse, and have the black turtle teleport to his location through the Gate of the Abyss.

Several hours later, Pang Jian reached the bizarre mist.

"I know this place," the White Lynx remarked, her cold gaze sharpening. "There's a restricted area inside called Absolute Heaven.

"Only those below the Spirit Condensation Realm or under Rank Six can enter."

"The rules of the bizarre mist aren't fixed. What was true before may no longer apply now," Pang Jian explained, activating a protective shield before plunging into the misty expanse.

The familiar gray bizarre mist enveloped him, but he felt no divine punishment inflicted upon him.

There was no feeling of his divine soul shattering or his body succumbing to erosion.

"The rules really have changed," he muttered under his breath before trying to establish a connection with the golden bees within the bizarre mist.

The Bee Sovereign had likely left a bee near the edge of the bizarre mist.

As expected, he soon established a connection with a Nether Abyss Spirit Bee.

Pang Jian could easily check on the beehive through the connection using his divine soul.

The beehive was settled deep within a forest in Absolute Heaven and resembled a massive golden mountain with countless golden bees buzzing in and out.

Many bees had since developed independent consciousness and could communicate among themselves.

Unfortunately, although a considerable amount of time had passed since Pang Jian had left Absolute Heaven, the Bee Sovereign had yet to awaken from its dormant, cocooned state.

That explains why the Nether Abyss Spirit Bees haven't left the bizarre mist. I haven't sensed a single one outside, Pang Jian mused.

His Abyssal Demon Sword abruptly let out a piercing wail,

The divine sword lacked a sword soul since he completely eradicated all of the Abyssal Demon's consciousness, and its wailing had actually startled him.

Probing it with his divine sense, he soon discovered a small wisp of demonic flame emerging within.

It only took a small spark to ignite a blaze, and soon more demonic flames, demonic clouds, and demonic light materialized within the sword's inner world.

Among them were also the six mysterious realms linked to the Demon God Lamp.

A fragment of the Abyssal Demon's consciousness started to awaken.

P-Pang Jian... it said, voice trembling. You...you killed me. You erased all traces of my consciousness.

That's right, it was my own doing. I've once again disgraced myself.

As it spoke, more and more of its consciousnesses awoke, muttering over each other.

I could only regenerate a fragment of my consciousness here because I sensed another part of me!

The other broken half of me lies somewhere within this bizarre mist!

My consciousness reformed because that broken half resonated with this half!

When one consciousness arises, a hundred more will follow!

That's why I've returned once more!

The Abyssal Demons' multiple consciousnesses continued their incessant chatter.

Whoosh!

The White Lynx suddenly appeared in her lynx form, snowy fur practically glowing in the bizarre mist.

"Pang Jian, run!" she screeched, voice sharp and panicked. "Run as far as you can! Long Zhan's coming! He's here to kill us!

"He dared not kill you in the Sacred Soul Continent because he feared Li Zhaotian would successfully ascend to the True God Realm and retaliate against the Dragon Lair Sect!

"But he doesn't have that fear in the bizarre mist!

"Run!"

Her desperate cries shook Pang Jian to his core.

He acted swiftly, scooping up the trembling White Lynx and teleporting to the nearest golden bee without hesitation.
