In the dim void, Ling Feng and Yue Zhonglian were swept into a space-time passage. The surrounding void churned with unstable space-time power. If they were caught in a space-time tide, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ling Feng could only spread his elemental qi into a protective barrier, shielding both of them. His brows remained tightly drawn as he wondered where this passage would lead.

He had been careless in the end. He had not expected Yan Jinghong to possess such a method.

Now that they were already inside the passage, Ling Feng did not dare act rashly. He waited, watching to see what lay at the other end.

"Little friend Ling Feng, I'm already a useless man. If we run into danger later, you don't have to worry about me!"

After being treated with the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence, Yue Zhonglian had regained some strength. Knowing Yan Jinghong had used him as bait and dragged Ling Feng into this trap, he could not help but feel guilty.

"Sect Leader Yue, don't worry. I have a way to remove the demonic miasma in your body. For now, don't think too much. Let's see how things unfold. Since we could enter this passage, we can find a way out!"

Ling Feng glanced back at him, then pressed a hand against his back. Circulating the Chaotic Power within him, he began to devour the demonic miasma planted by Yan Jinghong.

Before long, the miasma was completely removed. Yue Zhonglian's elemental force began to circulate on its own again. Ling Feng handed him another bottle of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence to aid his recovery. Not long after, Yue Zhonglian had mostly stabilized. His strength had not yet returned to its peak, but once he fully refined the essence, he might even achieve a breakthrough.

"Little friend Ling Feng, what exactly is this spirit liquid? Its effects are incredible."

Yue Zhonglian had been covered in wounds, yet after a single application, they had all healed without leaving even a scar.

"It's called Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence. I came across it by chance."

Ling Feng gave a faint smile. As he spoke, a dim light appeared ahead. The scene shifted in an instant, and the two of them were expelled from the space-time passage into a strange new space.

This place was clearly no longer the Tianbai Imperial Palace. As far as the eye could see, there were only barren stone mountains. Most unsettling of all, there was no sun or moon in the sky. Instead, more than a dozen massive blood-red stars hung overhead, casting a dim glow that barely kept the world from falling into complete darkness.

Yet that light felt deeply unsettling, as if it stirred the urge to kill within one's heart.

"Where are we?"

Ling Feng frowned. The air around them contained no trace of the world's spiritual energy. Instead, it was filled with dense demonic qi.

This was not the kind cultivated by evil path cultivators. It was pure demonic qi from Devils from Beyond!

Though faint, it was unmistakably the same origin as the demonic qi he had encountered before.

"Did I get sent to the Devil Domain?"

A thin layer of sweat formed on Ling Feng's forehead. Since the Devils from Beyond had once invaded the Xuanling Continent, it proved that passages existed between the two realms. Could it be that he had been sent there?

Martial artists on the Xuanling Continent cultivated in pursuit of ascension to the Immortal Domain. Yet here he was, arriving in the Devil Domain under these circumstances.

The devilkin were no weaker than the Immortals. Most were cruel by nature and thrived on slaughter, treating other races as food. If two humans fell into such a place, survival would be unlikely.

What Ling Feng did not realize was that this was not truly the Devil Domain. At most, it was a space overlapping between the Devil Domain and the Xuanling Continent, something akin to a secret realm. He was simply too shaken by the demonic qi to notice the difference.

"Twelve Demonic Stars hanging in the sky. This really might be the legendary Devil Domain."

A black shadow flashed as Despicable Donkey leapt out on its own initiative. Ling Feng felt slightly reassured. Despicable Donkey's appearance meant the surrounding space-time had stabilized enough for him to access the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

"Sect Leader Yue, you've only just recovered. I'll send you into a spatial treasure first so you can continue healing inside."

"Uh..." Yue Zhonglian looked at Ling Feng and wanted to say something, but Ling Feng cut him off with a smile.

"Don't worry. If I need your help, I'll bring you out again."

"Alright."

Only then did Yue Zhonglian agree. Ling Feng's current strength was already beyond his understanding. Even at his own level, he might only be a burden now.

After placing Yue Zhonglian into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng turned to Despicable Donkey.

"What did you mean by the Twelve Demonic Stars?"

Despicable Donkey crossed his hooves and curled his lips. "This divine donkey heard about it from that old fellow Tianbai Emperor. He said the Twelve Demonic Stars represent the twelve strongest races of the devilkin. But the stars here are dim, so this area probably doesn't have any high-tier devilkin."

"That's good news."

Ling Feng thought for a moment. He had once received a gift from the devilkin empress Ke Weili, gaining the power of the Void Eye. Perhaps being in such a place was not entirely a bad thing.

With those eyes, he had even managed to fool void overlords before. Dealing with low-tier devilkin should not be a problem.

For now, the priority was to find a place where devilkin gathered and gather information. There might be a passage leading back out.

He had also considered using the Realm-Piercing Shuttle to break through space barriers and leave. However, he had no sense of direction. Using it blindly could send him somewhere even more dangerous instead of back to the Xuanling Continent.

Still, he did not have the luxury of time to linger here. Yan Jinghong was about to marry Yue Yunlan. Ling Feng could not stand by and watch her fall into his hands.

He could not clearly define his feelings for Yue Yunlan. Whether it was friendship or something more did not matter.

What mattered was that he had to leave this place as soon as possible and save her!

"Let's go. We'll check ahead first!"

Ling Feng glanced at Despicable Donkey. This fellow seemed to know at least a little about this place.

"Forget it!"

A flicker of dark light flashed as Despicable Donkey slipped back into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, leaving only its smug voice behind.

"Kid, even if there are no high-tier devilkin here, anything below the Great Devil realm is considered low-tier in the Devil Domain. And a Great Devil roughly corresponds to your human Immortal Dao realm. So watch yourself. In a place like this, Human Emperors and Great Emperors are probably everywhere. You might even run into sacred-tier experts!"
