In the past eight days, the Holy Shadow had been following behind the group obediently, primarily casting the Healing Technique to ensure the safety of the team members.

Only on rare occasions, when monsters threatened Li Fei and An Ying, did the Holy Shadow take action to attack.

Overall, it was like a ruthless healing machine.

However, it has now started to act autonomously, which is undoubtedly under Lin Ye's instructions, as he is the only one who can control the actions of the Holy Shadow.

So now, all they needed to do was follow the Holy Shadow's actions; the reason for doing so was not their concern.

After all, their task was to lure the King of the Jungle to the edge of the forest.

Now that the task was apparently complete, what to do next was entirely up to Lin Ye.

The four followed the Holy Shadow towards the forest's edge, with the roaring Lord of the Jungle and his loyal Jungle Guards and Tree-men right behind them.

The ground continually sprouted and spread with vines, but they couldn't catch up with the four who had no intention of fighting.

Finally, under the Holy Shadow's lead, the four burst out of the jungle and stepped onto the open wilderness.

The once bright sunlight seemed to dim in that instant.

"Huff huff..."

The group panted heavily. The chase in the past few days hadn't exhausted them much.

It was this less than a kilometer sprint that truly drained the remnants of their energy over the past few days.

At this moment, they all felt a sense of exhaustion.

An Ying even lay directly on the ground, her eyes vacant, only able to gasp for air.

Li Fei wasn't quite at that point; she was, after all, a Warrior. Although she'd been pursuing more academic routes lately and slacked on her training, her foundation was still there, so she wasn't completely worn out.

Zong Muxue and Zong Muen were much stronger. Following combat-focused paths, their physical constitutions were naturally better than Li Fei and An Ying's.

Though they were panting heavily as well, they quickly recovered.

"That... is..."

At this moment, Zong Muxue seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed in shock.

"What's the matter, sis?" Zong Muen, puzzled, saw his sister staring dumbfoundedly ahead, and he instinctively looked as well.

What he saw stunned him too.

On either side of the wilderness was the Extreme Day Forest and the Eternal Night Mountain Range, two starkly different regions.

But now, the mountains, which should have been completely shrouded in darkness, were dotted with points of light, flashing continuously.

It was as if stars had fallen onto this dark mountainous land, quietly bringing specks of light to this area that was supposed to be veiled in darkness.

This scene was truly astounding.

Undoubtedly, this was Lin Ye's handiwork, but how he managed to do it remained a mystery.

The expanse of that mountain range was simply unfathomable, yet it seemed that even the remotest corners were flickering with firelight.

"It's the Undying Holy Fire."

Li Fei finally caught her breath and spoke up.

Nothing else could illuminate the night like the Undying Holy Fire, and it could certainly achieve this effect.

Clearly, Lin Ye had been busy, spreading the Holy Fire throughout the entire Eternal Night Mountain Range.

"But... what's the point of doing this?"

Zong Muen raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding Lin Ye's intent.

These star points, while adding some brightness, were still far from fully dispelling the darkness!

If Lin Ye intended to rely on this to drive the Eternal Night Monarch out, it seemed somewhat fanciful.

"Roar!"

As the group was bewildered, the Lord of the Jungle had already led his forces to the forest's edge.

He seemed to have no intention of stepping out of the jungle, instead roaring from afar, taunting the Professionals.

The group glanced over, relieved to see that the Lord of the Jungle wasn't stepping out of the jungle.

Days ago, they could have easily defeated the Lord of the Jungle when they were still in good shape...

But after the recent ordeal, they were all exhausted, and taking on a boss in this state was indeed challenging.

Strangely enough, although the Lord of the Jungle was less than a hundred meters away, he was unwilling to cross the boundary...

The two bosses in this Secret Realm would not leave their respective areas.

Given that the Lord of the Jungle was like this, the Eternal Night Monarch must be the same, so what would Lin Ye do to kill both bosses simultaneously?

If they couldn't kill them both at once, the mission would be impossible to complete.

This would mean their efforts had been in vain.

Of course, it wasn't a big deal; they knew from the start that Lin Ye came here just for practice. So whether they succeeded or failed was acceptable, or it didn't matter at all.

But while they didn't mind, there might be rumors in the outside world.

After all, Lin Ye had almost become a symbol by now, with many watching his every move.

In other words, even if Lin Ye failed in something trivial, it might not matter to him personally, but it would be an excellent opportunity for those secretly opposing him.

As an individual, Lin Ye could fail, but his image, being closely tied to the nascent Holy Flame Sect, meant that even a single failure would be a significant blow to the sect's authority.

As the sole representative of the Holy Flame, Lin Ye must be omnipotent.

While the four were a bit worried, a miraculous scene unfolded in the mountains ahead.

The pervasive firelight seemed to come alive, continuously rising and undulating.

It started to rise slowly.

Under their gaze, these star-like Holy Fires converged in the sky.

The star-like fires gradually grew in size as they gathered, and to the four's astonishment, a bright white moon appeared in the pitch-black sky over the distant mountains.

The appearance of the moon bathed the Eternal Night Mountain Range in soft, white light.

But it clearly wasn't over.

More and more 'star points' rose, gathering towards the sky.

This bizarre scene left everyone utterly astounded.

They finally understood what Lin Ye intended to do.
