Time felt very slow, like a turtle walking down a long, endless road.Eadric Rong remained vigilant as he passed through the space-time passage in the interdimensional portal.His body seemed to float as if flying fast, but his mind remained clear.In his hand, the Demon Umbrella was drawn, with its sharp tip like a sword ready to strike the enemy at any time.He held his breath steadily, making sure not to gasp for air during the journey.Every muscle in his body tensed, ready for whatever might be on the other side of the portal.Finally, the awaited moment arrived as a small spark appeared before his eyes.Eadric Rong immediately tightened his grip on the Demon Umbrella, his eyes sharp like an eagle watching its prey.“Finally… the portal,” he whispered to himself, his tone filled with tension mixed with hope.“Today is the day! I will escape from this damned palace and find my way back to Zhen Luo Dalu!”As it turned out, Zhen Luo Dalu was Eadric Rong’s original dimension, the pla

Eadric Rong stood tall amidst the remaining flames, his body now covered in sparkling white armor.His magic robe was intact, reflecting the now-weakening light of the Phoenix's flames.“Zhan Fengxie is not dead!” one of the cultivators exclaimed in a trembling voice.“That armor… and his robe… they are immune to Phoenix flames!”Eadric Rong snorted softly, his lips forming a small grin.His powerful Qi aura once again enveloped his body.The Demon Umbrella in his hand slowly rose, spinning again, creating a storm that was even bigger than before.“Who wants to try this umbrella of power?” Eadric Rong challenged, his voice echoing throughout the hall that was now filled with heat and spiritual pressure.However, from the direction of the throne, Emperor Jue Tian Yuan only snorted coldly.With a single hand movement, he gave a simple but threatening order, “Kill him.”The emperor's spiritual creature, a giant Phoenix whose body was covered in golden flames, flapped its wings thunderous

However, just as his thoughts traveled there, Eadric Rong had to face a harsh reality."I'm just a newcomer in this alien dimension. Where should I look for that spiritual being?" he thought, worried."Even if it exists, will it really increase my strength significantly?Will I have the strength to face the Emperor afterward?"Eadric Rong was silent for a moment, feeling a tense silence.He suddenly realized the crushing loneliness - he found himself in a place very different from his familiar home world.Just as Eadric Rong was sinking into a deep sense of disappointment, suddenly a group of horse riders, along with a flashing horse-drawn carriage, crossed the road at high speed.A deafening roar of sound dominated the scene.In front of the carriage, two officers, apparently soldiers, were trying to clear the crowd that had filled the highway."Move!" one of the soldiers shouted, accompanied by the sharp, threatening crack of a whip."Get out of the way or feel this whip!"Tar - tar

Instantly Bai Gu Tiang's blood boiled at the request from the imposing figure standing tall on the forest road. His face reddened, not from the heat of the blazing sun above, but rather from the uncontrollable rage that surged fiercely within his chest like a raging inferno."You ignorant human!" he cried in a loud, commanding voice that echoed powerfully through the dense pine trees surrounding them. "I, Bai Gu Tiang, an honorable young master with a lineage of warriors, have humbled myself by greeting you kindly, yet you dare to ask for more!"The shout sent the birds perched on the branches flying in shock, their wings beating frantically as they disappeared into the twilight sky, leaving only faint trails of feathers behind.Bai Gu Tiang drew his sword in a swift, fluid motion, then raised it high above his head with a threatening glare."Get out of the way! Otherwise, this sword will speak with your blood!" he continued in an emphatic and fierce tone. The tip of the sword glinted

The second statue held a guandao—a long spear with a cleaver-shaped tip that radiated an aura of deadly precision and lethality.Although they were mere statues, both seemed almost alive, like ancient warlords eternally watching every movement around them.Ren Jie took a careful look at his surroundings.There were no human guards present, yet the aura radiating from the statues was enough to make any approaching person think twice. This fortress did not need soldiers to guard its secrets; it had its own formidable means of protection.At a glance, Ren Jie's eyes swept over the surface of the bridge made of black stone. There were unusual carved patterns etched deeply into the stone—perhaps ancient symbols or powerful protection spells.He took a deep breath, calming his mind and steadying his qi.As Eadric Rong stepped onto the ancient bridge, his boots touching the intricate patterns carved with incredible precision, suddenly one of the giant statues at the end of the bridge moved.
