However, just as the Bull-headed Monster reached the edge of the Green Oasis, his body parts began to swiftly vanish, as if erased by some strange and invisible force.

In just an instant, the strong Bull-headed Monster completely vanished.

A few moments later, the hundred-mile-wide Grotto Heaven of the oasis also disappeared.

Buzz buzz...

A terrifying buzzing sound came again from behind, prompting Zhao Sheng, at the forefront, to glance back, seeing more than half of the Heavenly Curtain shrouded in shadow, a shadow engulfing everything, devouring all life in its path.

After a while, over a thousand miles were left behind by them. At this moment, the buzzing sound from behind gradually weakened.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out a large spiritual peach and swallowed it in a few bites.

"Keep running forward, don't stop now! We're still within the hunting range of the Ant Demon."

In midair, Jin Heng shouted loudly, golden light gathering in his right fist, and punched upwards, forming a circle of golden ripples that spread out, clearing the dozens of Human Head Ants above him.

In the next moment, with a "boom", Jin Heng landed beside Zhao Sheng, and the huge air wave spread out in all directions, crushing the surrounding skeletons into powder.

The approaching air wave was almost instantly swallowed by the Time Storm and spread into the crater.

Jin Heng grabbed Zhao Sheng's left arm urgently, roaring, "Run! My Original Spirit is nearly exhausted."

At that instant, Zhao Sheng seemed to be influenced by something, instinctively triggering his Space-Time Teleportation Talent.

Once,

Twice,

Thrice,

...

At the cost of most of his internal Primordial Qi, Zhao Sheng took Jin Heng and Sha Jiutong with him, teleporting hundreds of miles in a few moments to escape the Ant Demon's hunting range.

Crack...

"The Six Desires Sky Demons are truly terrifying! And who knows which class this horrific Ant Demon belongs to among the Heavenly Demons? Such astronomically massive ant swarms would likely be hard to withstand even for those Crossing Tribulation with Great Ability. How terrifying!"

Zhao Sheng sighed deeply and suddenly took a big bite of Lingzhi, chewing it twice before swallowing the bitter flesh.

Then, he lifted the umbrella-sized White Jade Treasure Mushroom and began devouring this rare Ten-thousand-year-old Elixir.

"Human Head Ants are a type of Lustful Heavenly Demon, and a strong variety at that, said to be formed by the most primitive reproductive desires."

"Compared to the Ant Demon, you, kid, are the one worth studying. No one expected a person could possess two High-level Space-Time Talents simultaneously. Especially the Instantaneous Talent, which you managed to execute here. This talent must far exceed the high levels, perhaps even reaching Immortal Level."

"Wow! Kid, are you a Demoted Immortal reincarnated?"

Jin Heng personally witnessed Zhao Sheng execute the Space-Time Teleportation and couldn't help being more astonished by him.

"Demoted Immortal? You're joking, Senior. I owe this talent to my ancestors' grace."

Having said this, Zhao Sheng sighed lightly and switched the topic, "It's a pity that the master ultimately couldn't escape this Tribulation!"

"Bah, early death, late death, dead all the same! What difference does it make?"

After this incident, Sha Jiutong didn't just lose his meat shell, but was also scared witless by the terrifying scenes.

He hadn't awakened his "Will", and couldn't see the all-devouring ant swarm, only witnessing the Green Oasis, the Bull-headed Monster, and the Black Monk vanishing into thin air.

Humanity's greatest fear often stems from ignorance!

Precisely because Sha Jiutong was oblivious and unaware of everything that happened, he was filled with fear.

...

Endless Corridor, somewhere on Skeleton Land.

Rumble rumble...

Violent tremors continuously spread in all directions, a fierce battle for food unfolding before two gaunt figures.

If Zhao Sheng were here, he would instantly recognize these two among the hundreds who entered.

The scarcity of food resources turned the battle on Skeleton Land far more brutal than the outside world.

As the majority of creatures either starved or became food for others, through rounds of relentless selection, the truly strong gradually stood out, ultimately trapped in this realm of despair.

Among those fighting, one was a Paper Child transformed many times over, each coated with red blush and dressed in funeral clothes, surrounding the main body, swarming forward with cries.

They punched and kicked, appearing clumsy and powerless, but often with one strike would produce a terrifying boom in midair, reducing dozens of feet of skeleton to ashes—a horrifically astounding sight!

On the other side was a skeleton monster resembling Jin Heng in form, yet its whole body was composed of Jade Bone covered in countless golden patterns, emitting bright golden light, resembling a cluster of golden flames, moving swiftly like lightning, tearing apart Paper Children with ease.

Both the Paper Child and Jade Skull were ageless, undying monsters trapped here for tens of thousands of years.

Their original human flesh had long been consumed, leaving only their unyielding, indestructible will to parasitize over the papers and skeletons, struggling until today.

"Oh heavens! What kind of monsters are these?"

"Taoist Xun, while they're distracted, let's escape!"

"Alright, now's the time—all we can do is risk everything! You go east, I'll go west... Run!"

Before finishing, the two dashed away like frightened rabbits, towards opposite directions of east and west.

In the blink of an eye, they'd fled a hundred feet away.

"Hehe! Looks like the little mice want to sneak off." The Jade Skull chuckled slyly, suddenly retreating far, shouting to the Paper Child, "Hey, through countless battles these tens of thousands of years, we couldn't do anything to each other. How about calling it a draw today? You take one, I take one—fair and square!"

The Paper Child remained silent, but one ghastly Paper Child suddenly shot forward, clinging onto the back of the westward fleeing individual with hands and feet like snakes, abruptly twisting the person's limbs with a crack.

On the other side, the Jade Skull blurred its form and appeared above the eastward fleeing head, its right palm like a Bone Claw firmly grasping the person's skull, twisting it one hundred eighty degrees with a snap.

Before long, the two monsters had devoured all traces and flew towards the depths of Skeleton Land, seemingly heading to a specific location.

...

The world dimmed, surroundings vague, feeling weightless.

From the depths of darkness around, whispers sometimes arose, then muffled indistinct mutters.

Zhao Sheng stood dazed in the center of brightness, with soft light pouring over him, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

No, perhaps it was precisely the contrast of light that made the darkness more profound and silent, more indescribable.

Suddenly, with a "pop", Zhao Sheng's eyes grew countless tentacles, which reached out, gripping the sockets, and with force pulled the eyeballs out, leaving deep black hollow sockets, emitting glowing blood-red light, exceptionally terrifying.

"Hehe, let's sneak outside and play!"

"I won't! Without us, Master will be scared."

The two eyeballs argued, entangled with tentacles, suddenly rolling to the ground.

"Woo..."

Immediately, Zhao Sheng's tongue spat out like a purple-black mudfish, wriggling its eight varied fins, swimming down his chest, abdomen, and thigh to chase the eyeballs.

"Hey, dummy! What's tasty about eyeballs? Brain juice is the world's most delicious food!"

Zhao Sheng's teeth shouted, arranging themselves in two rows as they crawled from the nostrils, then stacking into a ladder of "people", ceaselessly swinging while gripping hair.

"Bunch of fools! Just drill inside, why chase far!"

Zhao Sheng's right palm split open with a fanged mouth, swearing as it swatted away all tooth "little men."

At this moment, a terrified cry suddenly came from the depths of light above Zhao Sheng's head.
