"I know about this."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

In fact.

Once he returns, he will reforge these two True Treasures.

He would absolutely leave no trace of those two people.

In the following time.

The three continued their journey through the forest ahead.

After spending several days.

Ji Haoyuan and his companions had exited the forest zone and arrived before a massive ancient palace.

Similar to the maze-like structure they encountered before.

Outside this enormous ancient palace, there is a light barrier preventing entry.

And this time, on that light barrier, familiar Puppet Array Texts are flickering.

Additionally, Ji Haoyuan and the group noticed several fourth-tier Demon Kings lingering around the area.

It's confirmed that the Demon Kings occupying this area are not Puppets but real fourth-tier Demon Kings.

Among them, Ji Haoyuan and the others spotted a familiar figure.

No one else but the Black Hidden Mantis King, whom they had fought earlier!

At this moment.

The Black Hidden Mantis King, along with other Demon Kings, clearly noticed Ji Haoyuan and his companions.

Suddenly, a frightening demonic aura spread.

A strong intent to kill emanated from the Black Hidden Mantis King and the other Demon Kings.

Ji Haoyuan, True Monarch Xuanyuan, and True Monarch Fuguang exchanged a glance.

Clearly, they had no intention of getting entangled with these Demon Kings here.

Ji Haoyuan swiftly took out the Cave Abyss Token.

Buzz!

The Puppet Array Texts floating on the light barrier seemed to detect the aura of the Cave Abyss Token in Ji Haoyuan's hand.

A part of the array texts gradually dimmed.

Creating an opening for several people to enter.

"Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, Ji Haoyuan and his companions dashed towards the open gap.

"Stop them!"

A fierce intent to kill ignited in the eyes of the Black Hidden Mantis King and the other Demon Kings.

Woosh woosh!

Boom!

In an instant, formidable demonic power erupted.

The Black Hidden Mantis King transformed into an "assassin" in a flash.

With two swift movements.

A cross-shaped slash, carried by gusts of black wind, came slashing towards Ji Haoyuan, who was closest to it.

"Courting death!"

Killing intent also surged in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

With a raise of his hand.

Buzz!

Suddenly, streams of Xuanhuang energy descended, forming a huge canopy above him.

Enveloping True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang along with him.

And atop it, a pure golden Flaming Spear coalesced, clashing fiercely with the incoming cross-shaped black blade.

Rumble!

An intimidating mushroom cloud suddenly rose.

Taking advantage of the explosion's shockwave, Ji Haoyuan and his companions immediately dashed into the opening.

A giant ape covered in golden fur saw this but held back from pursuing, being stopped by the Black Hidden Mantis King and another entirely snow-white giant sculpture.

"Golden Ape King, do not pursue!"

"Hmm..."

The Golden Ape King's eyes, already filled with golden flames, suddenly turned towards the Black Hidden Mantis King and the Snow Sculpture King.

Hearing the Black Hidden Mantis King's leisurely words: "Golden Ape King, calm down.

Many areas here cannot be cracked and accessed by Demon Kings like us.

Instead of flying around like a headless fly searching for fortune, it's better to stay here and wait.

After all, even if those few people just went in, they would eventually have to come back out from here.

Moreover..."

As he spoke, the Black Hidden Mantis King's tone suddenly became deep and hoarse.

"Inside there, it doesn't mean they have no enemies.

After all, the plotting and killing between the Nascent Souls of the Human Race, are no fewer than ours, the Demon Race."

Upon hearing the Black Hidden Mantis King's words, the Golden Ape King said nothing but returned to its original position, sitting cross-legged like humans do when cultivating.

At the same time.

After Ji Haoyuan and his companions entered the giant ancient palace, they immediately noticed numerous human-shaped statues standing in different places within the palace.

Their gaze extended forward.

At their front end, there were three passages.

Presumably leading to three different directions.

Or perhaps, those three passages represent three different trials.

"Junior Brother Nanhua, those statues seem odd, could they be...?"

True Monarch Fuguang broke the silence.

Looking at the statues around, he spoke in a heavy tone.

Upon hearing his words, even True Monarch Xuanyuan nearby directed his gaze towards Ji Haoyuan.

Clearly, he also sensed something unusual from the environment before him.

As did Ji Haoyuan.

In fact.

When he had just arrived here, he had already detected the abnormality of those statues.

Not only that, but even in the area they were in, there seemed to be a surrounding special magnetic field and energy.

It felt as if every action they took, every step into a different area, would trigger a revival of that power.

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan, Senior Brother Fuguang, follow closely behind me next.

Walk as I walk, don't make a mistake.

Otherwise, I worry we might provoke those statues and some unknown attacks."

Ji Haoyuan's words made True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang's hearts flutter.

They knew well that for Ji Haoyuan to say such things and give such a warning, given his current abilities.

It showed.

The potential danger lurking in this place could be terrifying.

After all, it's the Relic Secret Realm left by the Great Venerable Divinity Transformation.

As juniors, no amount of caution is excessive.

Now, both nodded to Ji Haoyuan, showing they understood.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan didn't linger in place.

He began walking towards the right area.

Crack—

His foot landed.

The ground trembled slightly.

A faint crack sounded.

This made the hearts of True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang instinctively tense.

But after some time.

They found nothing had changed around them.

While slightly relieved, they followed Ji Haoyuan's earlier path, stepping forward cautiously.

Crack—

Crack—

Crack—

As time went on.

The ground subtly shook with each step Ji Haoyuan took.

Accompanied by inexplicable cracks from an unknown source.
