"This is the order from the Life and Death Palace."

The Sword Mad King shook his head. He understood the feelings of many in the Realm of Transcendence, so he did not get angry when faced with their doubts; he merely responded.

Upon hearing the five words "Life and Death Palace," the dissatisfied Transcendence Realm experts instantly calmed down, a trace of bitterness surfacing at the corners of their mouths.

The Life and Death Palace was a colossal existence, controlling the life and death of the entire continent. The Life and Death Realm Kings on the continent were almost all honorary elders of the Life and Death Palace, so naturally, no one dared to defy its orders.

At this moment, Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan had already reached the edge of the Void Passage and gathered with the human martial artists.

Buzz! Buzz!

Just then, the void suddenly trembled. The Void Passage in the sky expanded rapidly, originally only about a hundred meters in diameter, it instantly widened to a dozen miles in diameter, and continued to expand.

The entire sky seemed like a diffuse nebula. Rays of light shot through the spreading space tunnel, where grey airstreams coursed wildly, and misty colorful lights dripped down from the space tunnel like raindrops.

Boom!

A fierce aura surged out of the space tunnel, and the few human martial artists and demon beasts closest to the tunnel vanished into thin air without a trace.

"Retreat quickly!!"

The Sword Mad King shouted to the numerous human martial artists. The black blade on his back was thrust into the void, creating a space rift that absorbed the surrounding spatial energy.

But his warning came a little too late. Even though the crowd and demon beasts evaded in time, three to four hundred human martial artists still perished, including some great powers of Transcendence, who couldn't escape the nightmare. Those who did survive wore faces filled with horror.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Void Passage shimmered in silver, finally stabilizing after spreading more than ten miles. It was dazzling like a galactic sinkhole, silvery swirls flowing brightly.

"Those who wish to enter may proceed, but I caution you, only martial artists at the Origin Realm are allowed to enter. This is an order from the Life and Death Palace. If I discover any Transcendence Realm experts sneaking in, they will face dire consequences."

The Sword Mad King pulled the black blade from the void, glanced around coldly, and said.

"Yes!"

No one dared to defy him. The eyes of the great powers of Transcendence flickered, and some turned away from the Void Passage, vanishing into the Black Dragon Mountains.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One after another, figures flew out from the crowd, entering the Void Passage.

"You should go in too!"

The Dark Heaven-Devouring Python ordered the many Tier Eight demon beasts behind him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The numerous demon beasts reverted to their true forms, each with unique and bizarre shapes, flying through the air as demonic energy surged, filling the skies.

"Let's go in as well!"

Chu Ming said to Feng Yuyan. By now, half of the people had entered the Void Passage, while those remaining hesitated, some of them being Transcendence Realm cultivators who did not meet the criteria.

"Okay!"

Feng Yuyan nodded. The two flew toward the Void Passage, feeling an immense pulling force as they drew closer, making Chu Ming feel a lack of control.

Pop! Pop!

The space felt incredibly viscous. As Chu Ming entered, gravity seemed to multiply by millions. They were surrounded by a silvery environment.

Pop!

When Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan emerged from the space, Chu Ming felt a lightness in his body. He steadied himself and looked around.

Feng Yuyan extended her spiritual sense, scanning the surroundings.

They were in a desolate region, with a grey sky devoid of any signs of life. The ground was full of ravines, and there was no sunlight.

"What do we do now?"

Feng Yuyan turned to Chu Ming and asked.

"That direction!"

Chu Ming casually pointed in a direction. Feng Yuyan said nothing and quietly followed behind him.

They flew for an hour. Chu Ming felt an odd sensation and had a bad feeling. The area was eerily silent, with no sign of human activity.

Boom!

A sudden rumble came from not far away. Chu Ming's unease intensified. His spiritual sense turned into beams of light, scanning the surroundings, and he quickly detected something unusual a kilometer away.

"Not good, run!!"

Chu Ming shouted to Feng Yuyan. In his spiritual scan, a terrifying grey storm was swiftly approaching, breaking the ground and making the space tremble.

Although Feng Yuyan wasn't sure what was happening, her keen intuition told her that danger was rapidly closing in on them.

Swish! Swish!

Boom!

They had just disappeared from their original spot when the grey storm swept through, completely shattering the place they had been standing, turning rocks into powder.

"Is that... the Bone-Eroding Wind?"

Feng Yuyan's scalp tingled, and she sped up. In no time, they had flown a thousand meters away, but the Bone-Eroding Wind continued to pursue them relentlessly.

Upon hearing Feng Yuyan's words, Chu Ming's face darkened. He had also heard of the Bone-Eroding Wind, a peculiar wind capable of easily corroding a martial artist's body.

Even great powers of Transcendence found it difficult to escape the Bone-Eroding Wind unscathed. If they were caught in it, not even Chu Ming's physical strength could guarantee their survival.

Rumble!

What reassured them was that the Bone-Eroding Wind's velocity gradually slowed, but its expanding range grew more extensive, from its original diameter of a dozen meters to a hundred meters, turning the sky dark.

In the sky, a grey-feathered raven with cold eyes watched Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan as they flew.

"They are humans."

The Grey Nether Raven, an Eighth Level top-tier demon beast, stared at Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan for a long time without taking any action.

As for the Bone-Eroding Wind, although he feared it, it wasn't enough to terrify him. Demon beasts had tough hides, and the Bone-Eroding Wind barely managed to break his defense.

Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan flew for another half-hour before they completely shook off the Bone-Eroding Wind behind them.

At this moment, they arrived between narrow precipices with countless dark caves. Wisps of decayed black breath floated out from the caves.

"Look, there are people over there!"

Feng Yuyan pointed to the exit of a cave and said to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming looked up and indeed saw a dozen martial artists with varied attire moving through the caves, some showing excited expressions.

"Could there be treasures in the caves?"

Chu Ming frowned. It wasn't impossible; after all, this place was the first line of human defense against demons in the ancient era.

"Boss, there are two martial artists over there."

At the exit of a cave, a yellow-robed martial artist whispered.
