Under the gaze of the Celestial Venerable Statue, the Heaven Demon youth's bloody maw envelops the sacrificial array.

This sacrificial array, set up with the help of the deteriorated, deathly black air, is so formidable that even Long Yinghai cannot escape.

The Heaven Demon youth locked eyes with Song Yan, sending a thought, "Do you want to save them or snatch it?"

Song Yan shook his head, replying, "Neither saving nor snatching."

As the saying goes, "Men die for wealth, birds perish for food." But does it mean people no longer pursue wealth, or birds stop seeking food? Of course not. This simply tells you that if you seek something, there are risks involved, and you must be responsible for yourself. If you cannot bear the risks and perish midway, you cannot blame anyone else.

The black light flickered, emanating waves of deathly aura, and the wind swirled slightly, lifting Song Yan's black hair and casting shadows on his ever-changing face.

The Heaven Demon youth asked again, "Then why are you here? Could it be… you seek these ancient true spirit fragments?"

As he spoke, he muttered in his thoughts, "Indeed, both you and I need to attach to others' divine souls for cultivation, to devour the living beings.

Cause and effect not bound to the soul, ultimately cannot exert much power.

Powerful realms enable powerful divine souls; these true spirit fragments are indeed very important to you.

Take it, I have left enough, I don't need it anymore."

Song Yan, watching this nagging Heaven Demon, immediately understood his intention: to buy time!

The relationships among the Heaven Demons are not much different from those within the Demon Sect, fundamentally trusting no one. Naturally, the Heaven Demon youth did not trust him now.

So, the Heaven Demon youth began his "ramblings" while consuming.

Suddenly, a scream came from the sacrificial array.

Long Yinghai and others grabbed a loose cultivator, using them as a shield, attempting to break through the thin black membrane enveloping the sacrificial array. However, the moment the loose cultivator touched the black membrane, the sacrificial speed accelerated, their entire being turning into smoke, screaming "Ah ah" in agony. Meanwhile, friends nearby tried to save him but were caught by Ye Congfeng and the Divine Tiger King, imitating the act, trying to break the array.

But it was all in vain.

The power of this Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array far exceeded the previous "Separation Fire Gathering Life" and "Ice Coffin Profound Kill"...

Song Yan glanced slightly with the corner of his eye, remaining indifferent.

This cruel reality of "better you than me" he had seen many times.

However, in this situation, his level was still decent, so he was not caught in that situation but was in... another game.

He had his task to accomplish.

The time he was waiting for had not yet arrived, and this Heaven Demon youth wanted to drag on, while he was intrigued by the "ramblings" of the Heaven Demon youth.

Thus, Song Yan asked, "What are these true spirit fragments?"

The Heaven Demon youth was stunned for a moment, then said, "You... you don't know?"

Song Yan chuckled, "Tell me."

The Heaven Demon youth, happy to ramble, said, "In the ancient era, true spirit jade and profound jade were essential items for cultivation, the latter to enhance realms and the former to aid cultivation, both indispensable."

Song Yan asked, "Then... how did these true spirit jades disappear from the world? Why are there still some here?"

The Heaven Demon youth pondered slightly, then slowly said, "I don't know too clearly about this, but I heard it seems because a Fifth-level Cultivation Realm nearby was destroyed, the Netherworld's Qi spread out, infecting many Fourth-level Cultivation Realms around.

This place? During an ancient era calamity, the true spirit light slowly vanished, marking the so-called Era of True Spirit Extinction.

This Era of True Spirit Extinction is not unique to this Fourth-level Cultivation Realm, but every infected Cultivation Realm would encounter it.

As for why there are true spirit fragments here, naturally, it is that although the Era of True Spirit Extinction indeed annihilated most of the true spirit light, it left a few remnants, now just appearing."

Listening to these unfamiliar terms, Song Yan glanced towards the sacrificial array.

The sacrificial array was in chaos, the weaker ones had either died or were injured, yet the strong persisted.

He asked again, "Why are they appearing now?"

The Heaven Demon youth was eager to continue explaining to his fellow cultivator.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Of course, because the next era has arrived."

Song Yan asked, "What era?"

The Heaven Demon youth said, "The Dark Calamity Era."

Upon finishing, he grinned hideously, "Netherworld beings seep in from the Sea of Suffering, thus triggering the Soul Threshold, and this is just the beginning.

The emergence of such ancient tombs now signifies that the Netherworld's Qi beneath can no longer be suppressed, slowly seeping from the ground. These Netherworld's Qi will transform deceased entities into Netherworld beings, although these beings are quite weak, they cannot be ignored.

To suppress the Netherworld's Qi, the world will create massive eruptions of earth Qi—volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes—all manner of dormant demon beasts will be awakened, all in a bid to suppress the Netherworld's Qi.

Oh, one more thing: there will also be space rifts. Once they appear, they will drag everything around into the unknown void, shattering them!

But it's useless!

In another Cultivation Realm, I was just a little evil thought. By luck, I grew to my current level and came to this Cultivation Realm. This time, I want to become even stronger and reach a higher level as a Heaven Demon."

Shocking words flowed from the Heaven Demon youth's mouth one by one.

Almost instantly, Song Yan saw a larger world, a wider space, and deeper danger.

However, having experienced many things, even though his heart was turbulent, he would not easily be shaken.

If what this Heaven Demon youth said contained little falsehood, then it means that this world he was in was not unique but merely a Fourth-level Cultivation Realm.
