All her strongest methods had been used, yet Yang Yan successfully countered them. The Jade Demon felt very reluctant.

Even though she knew Yang Yan was powerful and now had the Sacred Artifact for protection, she had to fight desperately for her belief and mission!

The Evil Dragon heard of the Demon God and finally stopped being timid, roaring loudly and flapping its massive wings as it charged at Yang Yan. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At this moment, Jing Hong had escaped his predicament thanks to the Jade Demon's withdrawal.

Just as he regained his composure, he discovered the Evil Dragon flying towards him, and immediately became incensed.

Already burning with anger and nowhere to vent it, he decisively struck with lethal force.

Jing Hong flew forward to meet it, his longsword aimed directly at the dragon's enormous eyes.

Seeing the Ink Dragon charging forward, the Jade Demon hesitated no longer and suddenly turned, rushing towards the depths of the abyss.

What does she intend to do?

Suicide?

Definitely not!

"Jing Hong, just hold off this little snake until I return!"

Yang Yan instructed, without waiting for Jing Hong's reply, immediately turned into a shadow and leapt into the abyss.

"Yes, my king!"

Jing Hong responded.

The Evil Dragon growled furiously again, trying to shake off Jing Hong and pursue Yang Yan.

A silver Sword Aura barely slashed across its face, causing the dragon to instantly halt.

Jing Hong held his sword and stared at the dragon, saying nothing.

But the message was clear:

If you wish to chase Yang Yan, you'll have to step over his dead body!

Roar!

The Evil Dragon felt a great insult and let out a furious howl, its wings flapping as it launched a storm-like attack on Jing Hong.

For the time being, the battle on the abyssal surface, no matter how fierce, shall not be discussed.

Meanwhile, Yang Yan and the Jade Demon had already descended to a place untouched by the aftermath of the battle.

Below was an endless depth, shrouded in infinite darkness.

After descending about more than two thousand meters, the Jade Demon suddenly halted.

She raised her head to look unhappily at Yang Yan, who refused to let go. Her third eye opened again, shooting out a white beam.

Yang Yan had no doubt about the power of this attack.

He frowned, dodging swiftly.

The Jade Demon didn't expect this attack to hurt Yang Yan.

She merely wanted to delay him for a moment.

As Yang Yan dodged the attack, the Jade Demon flashed and suddenly disappeared right in front of him.

"Boom!"

The dodged white beam struck the mountain wall behind Yang Yan, shattering countless stones to gravel and pulling them downwards with gravity.

"Still running?"

Yang Yan was disbelief, instantly moving to the last location where the Jade Demon disappeared.

The abyss was full of darkness, only when looking upward did he see a faint glimmer at the entrance.

Even with his vision, Yang Yan could only see three to four meters ahead.

Beyond that, everything was blurry.

He relied entirely on spiritual sense to chase the Jade Demon.

Though he couldn't see her destination, Yang Yan could still sense her rapidly distancing herself from him.

It wasn't downward, so that means...

Yang Yan squinted slightly, gripping Star Night as he swung his sword with a backhand!

The terrifying Sword Aura sliced into the mountain wall ahead, creating a bright spark that illuminated the scene.

Finally, Yang Yan could see the view before him.

Six or seven meters below Yang Yan's hovering position, there was a large protruding rock.

Beneath the rock, there was a deep black hole.

The hole gave off a sense of extreme danger.

Yang Yan involuntarily blinked, shivering slightly.

Then, with a self-mocking chuckle, he moved and transformed into a flash of lightning, darting inside.

No one in this world yet born can frighten Yang Yan!

Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, he would charge in for sure.

"Bang!"

To Yang Yan's surprise, as soon as he entered, he slammed headfirst into a wall.

Yet when he probed with his Spiritual Sense earlier, he hadn't felt its presence at all!

Looking closely now, he realized.

This wasn't a wall, it was a barrier deliberately left by the Jade Demon!

That the barrier could evade his perception indeed surprised Yang Yan.

Raising an eyebrow, Yang Yan shattered the barrier with a punch and raced into the mountain path.

By now, he roughly knew what this place was.

In the cold environment, thin demonic qi occasionally brushed past Yang Yan.

Though sparse, these demonic qi were incredibly pure.

At least, those Demon Monarchs among the Demon Race couldn't compare.

This suggested there was definitely a demonic entity here.

What demon could make the Jade Demon so anxious?

Other than the Demon Race Demigod sealed by Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, who else?

Thinking of this, Yang Yan's pace quickened by three times.

The distance between him and the Jade Demon rapidly closed.

During this, barriers often appeared to block the way.

But having learned from previous experience, those barriers casually set by the Jade Demon were no longer a threat to Yang Yan.

He attacked continuously, shattering them with ease.

After a period of pursuit equal to an incense stick's burning time, Yang Yan halted before a cave entrance.

This entrance had no barriers.

Yang Yan could even see the scene inside.

The inside was filled with strange ghostly light.

Flames that resembled ghost fire, yet weren't ghost fire, floated within, numbering over a thousand!

Clustered in the narrow cave entrance before him, even Yang Yan's scalp felt a bit numb.

"Great Father God, please manifest Your body and light anew in this world! I, the Jade Demon, am willing to offer everything for You!"

Deep within the cave, there was a large array.

Standing outside the array was the Jade Demon whom Yang Yan had pursued for long.

Though Yang Yan didn't understand what she was doing, he knew stopping her was definitely the right choice.

Thus, ignoring the mass of ghostly flames, he flashed directly into the cave.

Indeed, these ghostly flames were no mere appearance; as Yang Yan charged in, his several sword strikes proved futile.

Instead, Yang Yan found himself amidst the flames, skin seared with sharp pain.

"Damn!"

Even with Yang Yan's steady composure, he couldn't help but curse.

Without further thought, he stomped fiercely on the ground, launching himself like an arrow from a bow.

"For the Father God, explode!"

The Jade Demon was clearly at her final moment.

As Yang Yan rushed over, he caught sight of the Jade Demon's sinister expression.

When the Jade Demon uttered the word "explode," Yang Yan's face suddenly changed, and his momentum reduced.

Meanwhile, he erected a protective shield as thick as possible in front of himself.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the Jade Demon's third eye widened to the utmost, then violently exploded!
