Upon hearing this, Lu Li was momentarily dazed, then nodded fiercely and charged into the underground palace.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the air, and the black mountain where the Chen family resided suddenly trembled violently, as if the entire world was shaking.
A powerful shockwave spread from the center of the black mountain, carrying a storm of rubble and dust, rapidly expanding in all directions.
Amidst the rumbling, the massive body of the black mountain began to crumble, its solid rocks shattered into countless fragments, collapsing like a fortress struck by a giant.
The mountain peak fractured, the mountain body collapsed, and a vast black shadow formed in the air, emitting a strong black radiance in all directions.
Some unrelated creatures standing at the edge of the sky were left speechless by the overwhelming shock they felt.
As the black mountain shattered, those shadows gradually dissipated in the black radiance, dissolving into the wind like a dream.
In the short span of a stick of incense, the Shadow Ghost Domain was littered with corpses, spell lights soared into the sky, and all the black-clothed people slowly vanished into the vast darkness, not lingering for a moment.
Under the black mountain, countless ghostly figures died with tragic expressions, eyes wide open in death, still filled with horror and shock, seemingly unable to comprehend why such powerful cultivators existed in the world.But in just a moment.
In the distant void, ripples suddenly appeared, and a more powerful aura gradually gathered from the void, with the power of the Great Dao of Heaven frantically converging towards it.
A gigantic black portal was quietly forming, and an overwhelming terrifying aura surged from it.
The portal slowly opened, and a vortex of darkness rose from its center, as if leading to an endless abyss. Within this black vortex, a massive figure gradually emerged.
The pupils of the remaining creatures at the edge shrank as they felt the oppressive force emanating from the dark vortex, instilling a sense of insignificance.
The figure in the vortex slowly revealed itself, a ghostly shadow exuding a dark aura stepped out of the portal, its gaze cold and sharp.
"The Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain!" The eyes of the creatures in all directions flashed with intense fear, their hearts filled with intense unease.
"Greetings, Great Venerable of the Shadow Ghost Domain..." Voices of utmost reverence gradually rose, for this was the ruler of a thousand-mile radius, rumored to have lived for over thirty thousand years!
This being controlled the life and death of countless creatures on the path to immortality, extracting the life essence of all beings to extend its own life, one of the great terrors of the Eastern Wilderness, an existence not to be provoked!
The master of the Shadow Ghost Domain was enormous, like a black mountain peak. His features were deep, his appearance unclear, but his eyes contained endless chill, and the dark aura he emitted sent shivers down one's spine.
"What a powerful force of the laws." The voice of the Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain was like a howling wind, echoing throughout the desolate mountains, "It seems they are coming for me."
His gaze swept over the direction where the Chen family had left, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
The Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain lightly clenched his hand, and a black-green force of the laws of heaven and earth surged, forming a massive black shackle Dao artifact, enveloping the shattered mountains.
Where the black shackle Dao artifact passed, the originally shattered mountains began to miraculously repair.
Strands of black law force traversed between the mountain bodies, restoring their original integrity.
Cracks gradually closed, collapsed rocks reassembled, and under the mana of the Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain, the entire mountain range gradually regained vitality.
The black-green mana waves permeated the restoration process, giving a mysterious and ancient feeling.
The once desolate mountain range now burst with vibrant life, as if infused with new strength, though under his manipulation, it was strangely eerie.
During the restoration, a strong aura of shadow spread around the desolate mountain range, seemingly a product of the fusion between the laws of the Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain and the land.
This aura of shadow enveloped the entire mountain range, making the area even more mysterious and unfathomable.
When the black shackle Dao artifact completed its restoration mission, the Sovereign of the Shadow Ghost Domain smiled slightly and retrieved it into his hand.
His gaze once again swept over the restored mountain range, as if admiring his masterpiece.
Dark energy swirled around him, forming a powerful oppressive force, making the entire area seem immersed under his control.
"Shadow." Suddenly, an indistinguishable voice sounded behind him.
"Lan Feng." Shadow slowly turned his head, his eyes incomparably calm, showing no anger or madness even in the face of such slaughter in his domain.
"Someone powerful has set their sights on you."
Lan Feng's voice was both mocking and mournful, somewhat piercing, "They even know your whereabouts like the back of their hand, it seems the Eastern Wilderness is no longer safe for you."
"Indeed, it is so." Shadow's eyes still carried a mocking look, "Then they might as well face me directly, but the Eastern Wilderness is not for outsiders to rule."
"Do you think the Ten Directions Heavenly Dao Sect will protect you?" Lan Feng pondered for a long time, "These black-clothed people seem to have a significant background, they are interested in your life laws, perhaps intending to seize your Dao foundation."
"You seem to know them well." Shadow spoke indifferently, casting a deep glance at the distant sky, "The Ten Directions Heavenly Dao Sect does not fear immortals, why should I fear them?"
"Destroying your Shadow Ghost Domain, one of the gateways to the Eastern Wilderness, is already a declaration of war on the Eastern Wilderness."
Lan Feng shook his head calmly, sighing slightly, "Someone wants to stir up the Wild Heaven Region, Shadow, don't become a pawn sacrificed in their game, you better... run!"
"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Shadow laughed uncontrollably, having roamed the Wild Heaven Region for over thirty thousand years, as a Tribulation Crossing Great Venerable, he could even contend with half-immortal realm experts in a duel.
Just a bunch of rats taking advantage of his absence to raid his home, killing a bunch of little ghosts, and stealing a lot of immortal materials, yet they want him to flee from his own doorstep?!
Then his tens of thousands of years of cultivating immortality, as a dignified Great Venerable, would have been lived in vain!
The absurdity of this statement was no less than an immortal fleeing at the sight of a Qi cultivation phase cultivator making a move.
Lan Feng watched Shadow's wild laughter, frowning slightly, feeling that the black-clothed experts' probe this time contained a grand scheme, but all traces had been erased, leaving no clues, trained to the extreme.
"Then take care of yourself." Lan Feng's voice disappeared into the sky, already gone.
After he left, the trace of mockery and arrogance in Shadow's eyes completely vanished, replaced by an overwhelming chill rising in his heart...
He took a deep look at the restored black mountain, its interior still collapsing, its vitality severed, with terrifying death energy and life energy cycling within, constantly destroying!
And at its core, a hazy law surged, chaos!
