The lake was still crystal clear without a single algae leaf or fish. The only thing different from the time he had jumped into the lake was that Shi Yan didn't see any moon or sun.

Shang Ying Yue wore a white dress, her face elegant and quiet. However, there was a gleam of sadness on her face.

Both Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan were worried about Cecilia going missing a lot. They didn't know where the woman had gone.

As she was too worried, she didn't even notice that Shi Yan had reached a new realm. Now, he was at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm.

"How long have you been here?" asked Shi Yan in a low-pitched voice.

"I didn't count the time. After Audrey's team left, I sat down to cultivate. I didn't notice the time," said Shang Ying Yue dishearteningly.

Shi Yan released a flow of Soul Consciousness and moved around Shang Ying Yue. Then, he said, "Although your realm didn't advance, your God power is more sufficient and purer. The time you've been cultivating here isn't short, I suppose."

"Could be..." Shang Ying Yue wasn't so sure. . .

Looking at the Holy Mountain that was far from them, Shi Yan frowned and pulled himself together, "Let's go. Maybe we will meet her at the Holy Mountain."

The strange, secret domain generated by the God expert's Incipient Extent had been imprinted in his Ethereal Extent. Since he didn't see Cecilia in there, it meant that Cecilia wasn't in that strange world with him. She had gotten out earlier.

When she got out of that place, if she couldn't find Cecilia and Shi Yan, she would definitely head to their destination: the Holy Mountain.

Shang Ying Yue was still cold and not really talkative. She rarely voiced her opinion, so when Shi Yan made up his mind, she just followed him quietly. They swam across the lake and ran towards the Holy Mountain.

Their way was strangely smooth.

The perilous barriers and deathtraps in the Center of the ancient continent were weakened unknowingly. They didn't bother Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue too much.

Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan didn't understand why Desolate suddenly became so kind and showed a great deal of mercy.

The majestic Holy Mountain standing firm in this world wasn't far from them anymore. They could reach it soon.

Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue were like two departed spirits that were crossing a swamp where five-colored toxic gas hovered above their heads. Their feet didn't touch the swamp.

All of a sudden, Shi Yan halted in the middle of the bog.

He looked in a direction, his left hand grabbing something in the air.

Swish!

A starlight stream shot out from his fingertip like a water current, which had the power to detain the world.

The starlight stream extended like a snake that swam through the toxic green gas in the swamp.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The poisonous smoke was struck and dispersed by his starlight, revealing two members of the God Clan.

They were Phelps's troopers. One was at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm and the other was at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm. Their skin and eyes were now glowing in green. Apparently, they got poisoned by the miasma.

Their soul energy fluctuated strangely and was unstable. A cold and evil aura emitted from their bodies. It seemed like the toxic smoke had entered their soul and changed their soul altars. Their God power wasn't reduced but it increased somehow.

When they looked at Shang Ying Yue and Shi Yan with their monstrous, green eyes, Shang Ying Yue felt a chill in her heart as if some monsters were eyeing her.

"It's some sort of mutant. Their bodies are eroded by the poisons, which have pushed them into bedevilment. They don't have human emotions anymore," muttered Shang Ying Yue.

Shi Yan didn't change his visage. His soul altar spun rapidly and changed his powers Upanishads.

The Ethereal Extent emerged like a vast galaxy above his head with the radiant sun, the cold moon, and the twinkling stars. Its energy seemed everlasting and it seemed like it could affect the real world out there.

In Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent, the suns spun and turned into scorching fireballs as big as mountains. They covered the two members of the God Clan with tremendous heat waves.

Under the burning power of the suns, which looked so real, an entire swamp evaporated shortly. Even the grass and rocks burned and melted. The suns could destroy the real world.

The two members of the God Clan were poisoned. Under the scorching suns, water in their bodies evaporated. Their bodies then dried up like fish drying under the sunlight for years.

The hot sunlight could burn any creature in the world. It dried their bodies and exploded their bones. Pieces of their flesh ignited and burned into ashes.

Although they were experts at Second and Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent could burn them easily. They couldn't even wiggle.

It was like when the Incipient God Realm expert had the suppressing slaughter to them. It was a big gap between a realm they could never make up.

The dazzling suns above their heads released terrible heat waves that expanded torrentially. Although the toxic gas was recovered, all the trees and rocks around the area burned and exploded. The ground didn't have a drop of water. This scene looked like doomsday.

Shang Ying Yue couldn't help but take out an Icy Soul Cold Crystal and hug it.

The icy cold energy from the Icy Soul Cold Crystal had kept her safe from the heat. She now looked at Shi Yan in fear.

"How did you suddenly become so strong?" Shang Ying Yue was bewildered for a while. She couldn't help but scream.

The energy and intimidation that Shi Yan was performing were much more terrifying than when he fought with Harson. He hadn't transformed into his immortal body, but he could simply kill two warriors of the God Clan. This kind of deliberation had shocked Shang Ying Yue.

"I've reached Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm." Shi Yan squinted, the acupuncture points in his entire body operating.

Beams of Essence Qi from the dead flooded his acupuncture points. It was a process that naked eyes couldn't observe. The whirlpools there filtered and refined them at an amazing speed.

Shi Yan chuckled.

As he had reached Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, his Space, Star, Death and Life powers Upanishad had all grown. The strange world generated by the God Clan's precursor's Incipient Extent had been carved in his Ethereal Extent, becoming the reflections there and bringing his Ethereal Extent a marvelous transformation.

He had a feeling like he was able to hold the whole world in his hands.

He was confident that if he fought Harson now, he wouldn't need to pay a bloody price to kill him.

In this Center of the ancient continent, he now had the confidence to face anybody directly. He even believed that he could win in the end.

It was a new transformation of the soul and spirit caused by the marvelous increase of power!

"The energy fluctuation from your body is really intimidating. You can compare it to the warriors at Second Sky of Incipient God Realm. It seems like you're Haig's real rival." Shang Ying Yue appraised him wholeheartedly.

Dry, cracked soil and suns with tyrannical power that could burn down everything were around Shi Yan. Listing to Shang Ying Yue's appraisal, he retrieved the Ethereal Extent into his soul altar and said, "We should move."

Their way became even smoother.

They reached the foot of the Holy Mountain.

Shi Yan glanced at the corpses, which belonged to the God Clan and the other races. They were possibly warriors from the other star areas led by Audrey.

Those corpses weren't intact. Their faces were barely recognizable. Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue couldn't tell their identities. Nothing was lingering here. Apparently, they were dead for a long time.

Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue stopped by and searched around the foot of the Holy Mountain. Shi Yan spoke to her, "It seems like we're the last ones who arrived here. You and I... are late."

Shang Ying Yue nodded.

It was really hard to tell the exact time in this place. Shi Yan didn't notice the time when he had cultivated in the strange land and when Shang Ying Yue used the Icy Soul Cold Crystal to improve her God power, she didn't keep track of time. Thus, they didn't know how long they had lagged behind the others.

However, they saw the remains of the others by the foot of the Holy Mountain that possibly stayed there for a long time and belonged to the groups they knew. They knew that they had wasted a lot of them for their cultivation.

Shi Yan lifted his head and looked at the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Mountain was like the sharpest sword piercing into the high sky. They couldn't see the peak. The Holy Mountain looked like it was covered with fresh blood as it had a dark red hue. At first glance, it gave people a mind constraint.

The mountain had a lot of caves that stretched to its summit. They looked like the steps leading to the Holy Mountain. In the distance, each cave looked like a peculiar eye.

Looking at the crimson mountain with caves that were like eyes scattering here and there, Shi Yan suddenly had a familiar feeling...

It seemed like he had seen this image somewhere. He was so surprised.

Shortly after, his eyes became odd. He couldn't help but take out the blood sword and carefully study it for the first time with the earnest attitude he had ever had.

The broadsword was straight and blood red. Closed eyes filled the body of this broadsword and made people's scalps numb.

The crimson Holy Mountain standing majestically with so many caves looked amazingly similar to this broadsword!

Absolutely, it wasn't coincidental!

Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan rose the scarlet sword and tried to contact the Ring Spirit. "Explain it to me. What's going on?"

The Ring Spirit didn't answer him. It seemed like it was asleep or it just didn't want to talk to him.

Shang Ying Yue placed her jade-like hand on her mouth, her face aghast. She looked at the blood sword and then the Holy Mountain. She shivered and said to Shi Yan, "So similar!"

"I think so."

Shi Yan turned his wrist. Flames danced along the body of the bloody sword in his hand. The closed eyes on the sword quietly opened. The handle of the sword where Shi Yan was holding now had a mark of the clusters of blood cloud that emitted a magical energy fluctuation.

"It's..." Shang Ying Yue's bright eyes gazed at the mark of the blood cloud. She suddenly screamed as if she was encountering a ghost. "The thing you've inherited... Is it the Bloodthirsty's Master's Inheritance?"

"Yes."

"Oh boy!"
