In the darkness.

That was the terrifying aura of an unparalleled calamity, like mountains upon mountains and waves upon waves, ferociously pressing down on Yun Hao.

No matter how hard he tries, there is absolutely no chance of him resisting.

His body was completely immobilized, unable to move at all.

"Ugh..."

A strange laugh echoed into Yun Hao's ears.

"Senior, I mean no disrespect by interrupting you. What I'm doing today is out of necessity, please understand. In the future, I will definitely make amends to you!"

Yun Hao shouted.

Even at this moment, he has not given up, wanting to fight for a chance.

"Compensation Now that's something we can talk about!"

In the darkness, a voice came.

Yunhao saw a glimmer of hope!

Now we can have a good talk.

The next moment.

Yun Hao's front, the darkness slowly parted toward both sides.

A tall and imposing man in a black robe came into view before Yun Hao's eyes.

He came from the depths of darkness.

He arrived before Yun Hao in an instant.

His face was shrouded in darkness, and Yun Hao couldn't see his features at all.

But…

In Yun Hao's heart, a very special feeling arose.

After the appearance of this peerless monster slumbering in darkness, a power that had been dormant within him for ages began to stir.

Yun Hao's eyes flickered, he already had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't speak directly. Now he couldn't tell the other person's thoughts and intentions.

"I disturbed my senior's sleep, I was wrong. I apologize to my senior," Yun Hao said.

The shadowy figure let out a cackle and said, "Apologies are unnecessary. Everything has a price. You did this thing, just pay the corresponding price, and that will be that. The matter will be closed."

“Senior, please tell me how I can appease your anger” Yun Hao tried his best not to express his own subjective will.

Faced with such a terrifying existence, his will is completely irrelevant. It doesn't matter what he says, it might even anger the other party.

"It's simple, just swallow this!"

In the middle of their conversation.

A bead the size of a finger, glowing with an eerie light, floated from the shadow's hand and hung before Yun Hao.

Yun Hao looked at the bead, his expression solemn.

"Rest assured, this bead will not harm you in any way. On the contrary, it can help your cultivation progress more smoothly." The shadow said.

"Great!"

Yun Hao no longer hesitated, reaching out to take the bead in his palm and swallowing it in one gulp.

The world's greatest calamity stood before him and presented a condition.

It seemed to give Yunhao a choice.

But in reality, Yunhao had no choice at all.

He does not accept this solution, there are only two possible outcomes.

One, was crushed to death by a shadow.

Second, he was forced by the shadowy figure to swallow the bead.

Instead of doing that, might as well just swallow the beads myself.

The beads entered his abdomen and instantly dissolved, transforming into a mysterious energy that surged into Yun Hao's limbs and bones.

It's as if a multitude of raging volcanoes were erupting within Yun Hao's body!

The power that had always existed within him, slumbering since he arrived in the divine realm, was now resonating with the power released from the bead's dissolution. These forces were merging rapidly into one.

"For the next month, do not stray more than a thousand miles from me, or else, your energy will run amok within you and you will surely die. Understand" The shadow emphasized.

Yún Hào's eyes flashed, and he said, "So Senior, there is another matter that needs to be handled in a month, right"

The shadow let out a sinister chuckle: "That's right, you happen to be able to help me with something. As for the reason, I think you can guess it yourself. You might not be very powerful, but you're quite cunning. From the moment you saw me, you were already able to figure out some important information. But you're patient indeed, not uttering a single word!"

"I'm just not sure what you think, senior, so I don't dare to speak rashly."

Shadow: "Alright, you're free to do whatever you want here from now on. Just remember, leave me within ten thousand miles and you die. That should be enough!"

The next moment.

The shadow disappeared.

All the eerie vibes of darkness have dissipated.

Yunhao was no longer affected by anything. He rushed to the location marked on the map that Ganlin had given him at the fastest speed possible.

He didn't know what the ultimate evil lurking in this place intended to do a month later. The only thing he could grasp was to complete the task of resurrecting Di Fei within this month.

See you then.

Even if a month later, facing an impending catastrophe of unparalleled magnitude would cost him his life, he had no regrets about his brother...

When Yun Hao arrived at the location marked on the map given by Gan Lin, he found that there was nothing around him, it was completely empty.

The items Gan Lin mentioned, Yun Hao would know what they were once he got here, but now...he hadn't found anything.

Just then.

Gǎn Lín's figure, passing through the darkness, appeared before Yún Hào.

Her face still clearly showed her nervousness.

When I saw that Yun Hao was unharmed, I let out a sigh of relief, then snorted coldly: "You lucky kid! Come with me and we'll talk!"

"I cannot leave this place more than ten thousand miles away."

It is necessary to make it clear in advance.

Otherwise, Gan Lin would directly use her overwhelming power to teleport them across space, instantly taking them thousands of miles away.

"Why" Gan Lin stared at Yun Hao, her face full of confusion.

Yunhao: "I promised that senior here, if I leave beyond ten thousand miles, I will die."

Gan Lin's face changed drastically, and then she unleashed her power, manipulating space to whisk Yun Hao away from the darkness. They left the Shenxu space, maintaining a controlled distance without venturing beyond ten thousand miles.

"You actually swallowed the Chi Shen Pearl Don't you know how grave the consequences of this are!"

Gan Lin stared at Yun Hao, her expression solemn. On the way out with Yun Hao, he had already told her the general events.

She judged that it was a top-grade treasure, possessing the ability to conceal one's aura, called the Divine Pact Pearl!

Yun Hao smiled calmly and said, "I have no other choice."

Gan Lin fell silent, then said: "I was only testing you, to see if people like you could truly sacrifice your lives for those you claim are important. You surprised me. You passed my test, but swallowing the Qi Shen Pearl was an accident. I'm very sorry to tell you, I cannot help you remove the power of the Qi Shen Pearl."

Yunhao: "Before entering the darkness, I had thought about many possibilities. Any accident that happened was a result of my own choices. I won't blame anyone. Senior Gan, please tell me, where is that thing that can resist the punishment of the Dao My time is short; within a month, I must accomplish this!"

Glan's expression shifted, and she said, "A month That shameless creature in the dark only gave you this much time, didn't it"

Yun Hao nodded and said, “But I’m not sure what he’ll do a month from now.”

Gan Lin sneered and said, "He wants you to take his place and bear the punishment of the Dao!"

Yún Hào:：“……”

"As for the thing you want to use to resist the punishment of the Great Dao, you have already seen it."

Yunhao: "..."

At this moment... he understood.

What Lü Yi said, the thing that could withstand the punishment of the Great Dao, was actually... not a divine weapon or treasure, but a peerless monstrous creature slumbering in a derelict Divine Ruin space within the Thousand Ruins Cave!Hongchen...Of course, Xiao Nan's face was the worst.He thought he was the one who would laugh last.Result...Reality slapped him hard, leaving his head buzzing!He naturally knew how Yu Ye had lost.Jian...
