On the throne, a Demon King with thick eyebrows and large ears somewhat irritably reprimanded, "What is it that causes such panic? Didn't I send You Chi with twelve of you to kill those two Human Clan boys? How come only you five have returned in such disgrace?"

The five Zifu Great Demons hurriedly knelt down, their faces full of fear and trembling. It was only then that one Zifu Great Demon spoke, "You Chi is dead, and everyone else is dead too. Only the five of us managed to escape."

"What?"

These words shocked everyone, and they all looked over with disbelief. They knew something of Tangyu and Sun Wukong's strength; sending You Chi with twelve Zifu Realm Seventh Level Great Demons to assassinate them surely seemed cautious enough. They thought it was a mere small task, yet they hadn't anticipated it would end with such a result.

How could this be?

The Demon King with thick eyebrows and large ears raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect dispatched a powerful Zifu Realm expert?"

"Hmph, it must be. What a Jiuzhou Immortal Sect; a small sect like Jiuzhou dares to act this way. Demon King, we should storm the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and wipe it out." A strong member of the Yao Race beneath shouted angrily.

The Zifu Great Demon who had spoken earlier clenched his teeth and said, "Back to the Demon King, You Chi died at the hands of that Human Clan boy named Tangyu. The others were also killed by Tangyu and Sun Wukong. No experts from the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect intervened."

What——

These words again astonished everyone. Even the Demon Kings on the throne each furrowed their brows slightly. Judging by the intelligence they controlled, Tangyu and Sun Wukong were supposed to still be far from powerful; they had a bit of monstrous talent, but the strength wasn't considered strong. With such a lineup, to be completely defeated at their hands, losing seven Great Demons in the process—how could this happen?

"Genyu, what nonsense are you speaking? How is this possible? Those two still have very weak strength; one's only at Zifu Realm First Layer, and the other at Zifu Realm Third Layer. How strong can they get? How could they kill You Chi? You Chi even possesses a Soldier of the Dao, together with twelve of you assisting him. Even a Zifu Realm Ninth Layer power could be easily handled, how could they end up dying at the hands of those two brats? Are you not shirking responsibility, spouting nonsense?" one Zifu Great Demon shouted.

That Zifu Great Demon named Genyu felt like dying was all there was to it, and quickly said, "How could this be, how could I dare speak nonsense about such matters? We can't believe it either, but the fact is just so. At first, we had the upper hand, but ultimately didn't expect that Human Clan boy named Tangyu to have an extremely powerful Divine Weapon and also a breakthrough, so—this is why we ended up being counter-killed, and this is why we returned in such disgrace."

"Extremely powerful Divine Weapon?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Where is this monstrous Human Clan boy from? Why is he so defying? Such a defiant character, never heard of before, right?"

Suddenly, a noble and incredibly handsome boy stood up, appearing to be just in his early twenties. Elegant and handsome, impossibly beautiful. The aura of yao emanating from him was supremely noble, commanding respect.

A slight, arrogant smile appeared on the youth's face; though merely a Zifu Realm cultivator himself, he sat on the throne equal to the Demon Kings. From this point, it was clear the youth's identity was far from simple.

The youth smiled lightly and said, "Interesting. Originally, this Crown Prince did not think highly of those two—Human Clan geniuses never caught my eye. But hearing this now, those two have some merit, enough for the Crown Prince to meet them. The Crown Prince's talent is unmatched, with few foes in the Yao Race. Being stuck at Zifu Realm Sixth Layer, failing to break through—this time, the Crown Prince desires to utilize this opportunity to train and break through to Zifu Realm Seventh Level in one swoop."

"These two boys aren't bad; enough for the Crown Prince to personally take action."

Upon hearing the youth's words, a Demon King sitting beside him immediately said, "Seventh Crown Prince, if you want to take action yourself, let me send two Zifu Realm Ninth Level Great Demons to accompany you."

Yao Race Seventh Crown Prince waved a hand and said, "No need. You know the Crown Prince's character; you should trust the Crown Prince's strength. What would Zifu Realm Ninth Layer mean to the Crown Prince? How could the Crown Prince even consider them? Just with strength, the Crown Prince fears not the Zifu Realm Ninth Layer, let alone with numerous treasures the Crown Prince carries—killing a Zifu Realm Ninth Layer is easy for the Crown Prince."

The Seventh Crown Prince's words were sharp, arrogant, condescending, allowing no doubt.

But this arrogance was undoubtedly rooted in powerful strength.

The identity of the Yao Race Crown Prince alone placed him high above others. The Yao Race differs from the Human Clan; the Human Clan has hundreds of schools, spreading out their forces, scattering power across numerous sects, unable to unite truly. If the Human Clan could truly unite, with their strength, they could easily sweep away the Demon Monsters, the three races would have long ceased to exist.

In contrast, the Yao Race is a very cohesive tribe; they have always been united, closely bound together. They have a supreme Royal Clan, which unites the entire Yao Race, making the Yao Race terrifyingly powerful. The Demon Clan and Beast Clan are the same, which is why the Demon Monsters, the three races, alongside the Human Clan, have coexisted throughout time, maintaining a surface relationship of equality.

The demon king was still somewhat worried and said, "Crown Prince, this matter cannot be treated lightly. If anything were to happen to you, we wouldn't be able to answer to the Demon Emperor."

The Yao Race Crown Prince was unconcerned and spoke again, "Enough, I don't want to hear this. I have always been decisive in my actions; you should be well aware of my strength. As long as I don't encounter anyone from the Immortal Realm, who can challenge me? Even those from the Immortal Realm wouldn't dare come out to oppose me. Go investigate the whereabouts of those two guys and report back to me as quickly as possible."

The domineering nature of the Yao Race Crown Prince left the demon king shaking his head, speechless. But he couldn't control the Yao Race Crown Prince; in terms of status, he was inferior and could only let the Yao Race Crown Prince have his way.

As they journeyed downward, indeed they encountered many dangerous places in the Dark Nether Wilds. However, these dangers were of no consequence to Tangyu and his companion now, and could naturally be handled with ease. Such adventurous training truly had great benefits.

The Bright Moon Style became more intuitive and efficient, able to be executed with ease, making its application much simpler. The Bright Moon Sword Art had created the Third Style, but creating the Fourth Style wasn't as easy. Creating this Third Style had consumed much of Tangyu's time and energy. Each subsequent style was harder than the last, and the demands on one's realm were increasingly higher, making them not so easily created.

As for the Eighth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, it had reached a refinement level of excellence. Now, the aim was to cultivate the Ninth Axe. Once the Ninth Axe is cultivated to a great accomplishment, it will be completely integrated and distinct. Tangyu was eagerly looking forward to this moment, so substantial effort was devoted to the Pangu Nine Axes.

As for Ground Shrinking, attempting to cultivate to the Third Layer proved not easy; currently, Tangyu only had some ideas but lacked the skill to fully cultivate it.

It's worth mentioning that Square Inch Kill progressed somewhat, its power increased a few degrees.

Moreover, the Arhat Overturning Seal gifted by Master Ji Dian, a supreme seal technique, had been difficult for Tangyu to cultivate and comprehend, yet now he made some progress, finally cultivating the Arhat Overturning Seal. The Arhat Overturning Seal is far more powerful than the Reincarnation Seal; although its power couldn't yet match that of the Pangu Nine Axes and Bright Moon Sword Art, its advantage lies in long-range attack. If cultivated to the extreme, it could strike down an enemy even if they were ten thousand miles away.

The journey of exploration and cultivation brought Tangyu some immersion in the process. This kind of training has always been what he sought.

In terms of realm, Tangyu vaguely sensed he was about to reach the Second Layer of the Zifu Realm; the Divine Demon Refinement Scripture had also reached a breakthrough point. However, although this was the case, truly breaking through wasn't an easy task.

If a breakthrough in realm could be achieved to the First Layer, the enhancement to power would be significant.

Currently, Tangyu was eager to achieve a realm breakthrough.

They were blocked by a giant whirlpool on their path; from the outside, its diameter seemed to exceed ten thousand miles, and that was just how it appeared; a rough estimate still left its actual size unknown. Such a large whirlpool looked extremely amazing, and it was the biggest whirlpool encountered by Tangyu and his companion in the Dark Nether Wilds. Moreover, within the whirlpool, fierce winds raged, causing a dim sky and earth, within which unknown dangers lurked, making one timid to easily enter.

"This is a hazardous place; we have never encountered such a dangerous place before, certainly much riskier than those we've met before. However, such hazardous places also hold the greatest potential for opportunities. Natural hazards are full of opportunities. Since we've encountered it, it signifies our luck. No matter how dangerous, we must venture inside for a try," Tangyu said.

Sun Wukong naturally was fearless; he was never afraid of anything, and he didn't even know how to write the word fear. Since Tangyu said to enter, he naturally agreed.

"Hehe, let's go." Sun Wukong grinned slightly.

Tangyu and his companion entered the enormous whirlpool, immediately sensing the overwhelming devouring force plummeting down like a great wave trying to swallow them. The fierce winds surged inside, space twisted, a dim region as if they entered a windfall.

The chilling power made one feel cold at heart, the surroundings filled with danger. Being in the midst evoked a sense akin to entering a place of death.

The sensation was very unpleasant. If it were ordinary people, they would certainly be quite frightened.

But Tangyu and Sun Wukong were utterly unafraid; such forces couldn't hurt them.

Shortly after Tangyu and Sun Wukong entered the gigantic whirlpool, a figure also appeared—a figure being the Crown Prince of the Yao Race.

The Yao Race Crown Prince's eyes fell on the enormous whirlpool, his lips curled into a cold smile: "Indeed not afraid of death, daring to enter Ao Feng Secret Realm. Even the great powers of the Immortal Realm entering might meet their end inside. Our great powers of the Yao Race dare not easily enter. But you two dare venture inside. However, what does the Crown Prince fear? You dare to enter; why shouldn't the Crown Prince? Just as well, the Crown Prince would like to see just how terrifying this Ao Feng Secret Realm really is."

Having said that, the Yao Race Crown Prince also stepped inside.
