All within sight was bleak and gray.

In the heavens and earth, this was the only color.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze solemn. At this moment, although he didn't understand much, he already had some suspicions deep down. If nothing unexpected happened,

this place would be his inner world!

When natural laws are born, it is the day the body becomes holy!

For some reason, Pangu God from the mythological tales of his past life came to Chen Yuan's mind. Could it be that he needed to create a world from chaos to succeed?

But where would the Divine Axe come from?

...

Chen Yuan was deeply pondering strategies to break the deadlock in his inner world. He had no path to follow, unlike even the demon gods of the demon clan.

He could only rely on himself.

Meanwhile, outside, the thunder rumbled continuously. One after another, brilliant lightning struck the Divine Furnace formed by the four divine beasts.

Nine divine dragons could faintly be seen, merging with the divine flame, and the descending heavenly tribulation thunder served as one of the fuels for the divine flame.

The heaven and earth primordial energy within tens of thousands of feet was in turmoil, being continuously drawn by the Divine Furnace, refining Chen Yuan's body to completely merge with the four sacred beasts.

Moluo's expression became extremely heavy. He didn't know the danger Chen Yuan was currently facing, but just the escaping divine flame made him sense the threat.

It was conceivable that Chen Yuan, situated at the center of the Divine Furnace, could hardly withstand it.

Unfortunately, he had no experience in achieving bodily sanctification, unable to guide or accurately perceive the dangers Chen Yuan faced—he could only wait....

There was no other way.

He only hoped that Chen Yuan could continue his legendary achievements, overcoming one difficult barrier after another, to step past this human world chasm that obstructed countless geniuses.

Time had passed for a long time, and the divine flame showed no sign of extinguishing. Xiang Guangsheng's eyes showed some concern, but seeing the calm Moluo, he merely opened his mouth and suppressed his inner thoughts.

This was not something he should question.

Meanwhile, in the Nine Dragon Mountain of South State, the miracle of the four divine beasts' appearance had already spread across half of the Central Plains, with nearly all forces sparing no effort to disseminate the news.

At such a time of chaos, the manifestation of the four symbols easily led people to think of certain things.

Moluo took out the flashing Heavenly Book and asked in a solemn voice:

"Hmm?"

"Senior, news from South State says the four sacred beasts appeared in the Nine Dragon Mountain Range. Are you and Chen Yuan...." The voice came from Princess Su Ziyue.

She knew little about Chen Yuan's breakthrough, only that he was going into seclusion again soon, and the place was within South State. Therefore, when the news arrived, she inquired immediately.

"Indeed, King Yan is breaking through, but I didn't expect the news to have spread so far." Moluo's face showed some gravity.

Their conversation quickly reached other Taoist Divine Palace Daoists, who all activated their own starlights.

"King Yan is breaking through? Could he be advancing to the Six Realms?"

Chu Changfeng asked in shock.

Since the end of the Zhen Nan Pass campaign, he had been stationed with the Zhen Nan army at the border, having some knowledge of Central Plains matters, though not much, hence his shock. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Indeed."

"Would you need me to act as a protector?"

Jiang He's calm voice sounded, speaking briefly but directly to the essence of matters.

"I also have some spare time and can mobilize a hundred thousand elite soldiers to go."

Chu Changfeng immediately expressed.

As for Li Su Qing and Yang Huatian, they remained silent, not yet having reached the Yang God Realm, and might even need Moluo's efforts to protect them if they went.

"Not for now. Just uphold your respective duties; having me here is sufficient."

Moluo refused their offers of assistance.

If the intruder was beyond what he could handle, their presence would only mean death. Conversely, if he could manage, their presence would be a wasted effort.

"Fair enough, with you here, neither Chen Yuan nor anyone else should fear harm."

"Yes."

"Hmm?"

Just as Moluo was about to respond, he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura descending. His expression darkened, and he quickly severed the Heavenly Book's connection, stepping out tens of miles away and coldly said:

"What demon dares to come here!"

"Heh heh, so it really is Chen Yuan breaking through. Seems I've come at the perfect time." A black-robed man slowly materialized from the distorted void.

It was the current Southern Border Demon Emperor, Mo Ying!

"From whence do you come, benefactor?"

Moluo's face remained composed, but his heart was extremely grave, for in his perception, the opponent's aura was practically out of reach, indicating that their cultivation far surpassed his.

He was at the peak of the Human Immortal realm, having gathered the Three Flowers atop. If the opponent far surpassed him, then they were... of the Earth Immortal class!

Moreover, it was clear the opponent was not of the human race, signifying they were a formidable demon god who had attained the 'Undying Body' realm. Coupled with the current Southern Border situation....

The opponent's identity was obvious.

Demon Emperor!

"Chen Yuan is my mortal enemy. With such a golden opportunity today to suppress and kill him, what do you think brings me here?" Mo Ying's eyes showed some disdain, and he sneered coldly.

A mere human Human Immortal wasn't someone he considered worthy.

Chen Yuan was someone he was determined to eliminate!

Not only because of their repeated grudges, ruining many of his plans, but also the exotic treasure he showcased back at the Demon Suppressing Tower, which even he coveted and feared.
