The Skyfall Demon Forest.
Located in the far west of the Eastern Continent, it is a notorious and dangerous place throughout the continent, also known as the "Forbidden Land of Death."
Legend has it that long ago, a devastating war between demons and beasts erupted here, reducing countless beasts to cadavers. This caused a thick cloud of resentment within the Skyfall Demon Forest, shrouded year-round in a strange, gloomy mist. Within this mist, the faint roars of beasts can be heard, capable of affecting the soul, a truly eerie experience.
Despite this, even after the war, numerous factions dispatched personnel to the Skyfall Demon Forest to "hunt for treasure." After all, the bodies and cores of demons are valuable, and the war left the Skyfall Demon Forest littered with the remains and cores of these beasts.
Sadly, no one who entered ever emerged. However, as "money stirs the heart," numerous factions once again united their forces, forcing them to invade the Skyfall Demon Forest, led by Dou Zong masters.
But the result was once again beyond everyone's expectations. They had thought that this Dou Zong expedition would return with a full load from the Sky Meteoric Forest, but unexpectedly, amidst the continuous beast roars, the teams dispatched by the various factions were once again annihilated!
Public opinion was in an uproar, and for a time, there were many different opinions, and the theory that "the Sky Meteoric Forest gave birth to eighth-level monsters due to the monster war" was relatively convincing.
Otherwise, why didn't any of the Dou Zong powerhouses from the major factions escape, but all perished there? Only the existence of eighth-level monsters, comparable to human Dou Zun powerhouses, could have done that.
The deaths of so many Dou Zongs also alarmed the Dou Zun powerhouses. The Hidden Sect, the strongest faction in the East Continent, dispatched two Dou Zun powerhouses to the Sky Meteoric Forest!
The people of the East Continent were full of confidence. No matter how strange the Sky Meteoric Forest was, it would definitely not be able to stop the joint exploration of the two Dou Zun!
Indeed, the two Dou Zun successfully emerged from the Sky Meteoric Forest, but a warning rang out:
"Great terrors lie within the Sky Meteoric Forest. Even the most powerful Dou Zun can perish if careless! Enter with caution!"
This sent shockwaves through the Eastern Continent, and from then on, the Sky Meteoric Forest's reputation as the "Forbidden Land of Death" became a terrifying omen across the Eastern Continent!
...
At this moment, a vast, pitch-black rift suddenly opened in space outside the Sky Meteoric Forest, and three figures slowly emerged from the black hole: Liu Yu, Medusa, and Zi Yan.
After Liu Yu had acquired the memories of the middle-aged man from the Gong family, he used spatial teleportation to reach the Sky Meteoric Forest.
Furthermore, the moment Liu Yu emerged, the Holy Feather Emperor Flame within his body began to stir, conveying a message of longing.
It seemed there truly was a strange fire; his journey had been worthwhile! Liu Yu chuckled softly, and he had a guess as to which of the various fires on the List of Strange Fires it might be. It was most likely the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire!
The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is a crimson flame that vaguely resembles the forms of countless beasts.
Formed from the souls and bloodlines of countless beasts, the flame imbues itself with a violent aura, occasionally emitting the roars of countless beasts. It can influence human souls and even transform into countless beasts.
From the middle-aged man's memories, Liu Yu knew that the Tianyun Demon Forest was the site of a war between monsters and beasts, perfectly suiting the conditions for the birth of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.
"Boss, Sister Sha, there's something unsettling in here." Zi Yan frowned slightly as she gazed at the vast forest, shrouded in mist and shrouded in darkness.
"This is the place where countless beasts fell, a menacing aura permeates the air, and a strange fire has been born. It's normal for you to feel uneasy,"
Liu Yu said with a smile, but his gaze suddenly flickered to a distant expanse.
A powerful spatial force emanated, causing space to warp and gradually form a crack. As the crack took shape, two slender figures slowly emerged from the spatial rift.
They both looked very young, both tall and with similar perfect facial features, soft and fair. The most eye-catching thing was their pointed ears, long, smooth, light golden hair, and eyes. Combined with their extraordinary temperament, they looked noble and holy.
Although Liu Yu looked calm, he was a little surprised in his heart. Elves?
Zi Yan, beside Liu Yu, eyed the two women who had suddenly appeared with some curiosity, while Medusa, however, turned her gaze to Liu Yu and, seeing his expression unchanged, expressed a slight satisfaction.
The two "young" blond women who had emerged from the spatial rift were also surprised to see someone entering the Tianyun Demon Forest upon sensing Liu Yu and his companions' presence.
A man with silver hair and a purple robe, whose face was unfathomably handsome, unlike any mortal, appeared. His radiant red eyes, deep as the abyss, seemed to contain the vastness of the stars, and a hint of a seductive and magnificent blood-red shimmered between them.
They almost thought he was a remnant of the "Celestial Clan," for only their race could produce such a perfect being!
There were also two mature women who equally astonished them. One had noble purple hair, dressed in a lavender gown, and a slender figure. Her face was alluring and delicate, with a hint of playfulness.
The other woman's figure was voluptuous and exquisite, clad in a regal purple robe that outlined her captivating curves. Her phoenix eyes, sparkling with allure, exuded a peerless beauty!
And unlike the silver-haired man's ethereal presence, there wasn't a trace of spatial fluctuation surrounding him. Standing there, he seemed to merge with space, his control over its power... a Dou Zun powerhouse!
"I wonder what the three of you are doing in this Meteoric Demon Forest?" The woman on the left, seemingly the older sister, asked first, her voice gentle and ethereal. "
I hope they're not here for the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame," the woman who spoke thought to herself.
These two Dou Zun seemed to be the same Dou Zun from the middle-aged man's memory. They'd been telling the outside world about the dangers of the Meteoric Demon Forest, but in reality, they'd discovered the Myriad Beasts Spirit Flame.
They hadn't taken it away then, probably wanting it to develop further in its birthplace. Now, the time was ripe, they had come to claim the strange fire.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu chuckled softly. This strange fire was destined for him! What a coincidence, he'd arrived!
"Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire." Liu Yu uttered these four words calmly, no need to hide anything. From then on, whoever had the bigger fist would obtain the strange fire!
The two blonde women's expressions suddenly changed. As expected, it was all about the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire! The other blonde woman couldn't help but say, "This Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire is the strange fire my sister and I have nurtured. Are you trying to steal our Hidden Sect's treasure?"
"Haha, what kind of divine artifact like strange fire has become your Hidden Sect's property? You're setting up a scheme to deceive the major forces of the Eastern Continent, claiming a great terror within the Meteorite Demon Forest, and you think you're justified?" Liu Yu scoffed, his eyes full of amusement.
"You!" The blonde woman was a little indignant. After they discovered the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire, they had invested considerable resources, having the Hidden Sect collect various beast fires to feed it.
Seeing this, her sister, another blonde, sighed softly and said, "Although we did conceal the existence of the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire, we were the first to discover it. We originally took it away, but only temporarily stored it in the Skyfall Demon Forest to cultivate it. I know you three put a lot of effort into discovering this strange fire, and I am willing to pay a price."
Although it was unclear how they learned of the Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire's existence, it was possible that someone who had escaped the Skyfall Demon Forest had leaked it. Regardless, she would not give up the strange fire, nor did she want to offend three people with mysterious origins for no reason.
Liu Yu no longer bothered to talk. Circles of invisible soul waves suddenly spread out from Liu Yu as the center.
The two blonde women's expressions changed, and they subconsciously released their soul power. Since negotiations were unsuccessful, they would fight to the death! They were reluctant to provoke a Dou Zun power, but they were not afraid either!
But the moment their soul powers came into contact with Liu Yu's, an invisible wave as vast as the heavens and the earth erupted, crushing the two soul powers that had attempted to resist it. It then swept over the two blonde women, whose faces had instantly turned pale, like an overwhelming force!
"Second level soul pressure!"
Soul power equal to four times that of the early Heaven Realm surged out, instantly enveloping the heavens and the earth!
At that moment, the sky was thick with dark clouds, and thunder roared wildly!
"Boom!"
Above the sky, dark clouds suddenly appeared. Lightning flashed like silver snakes, and the sound of thunder resounded throughout the world. At the same time, a vast pressure
, like the wrath of heaven and earth, suddenly descended! The thick mist covering the Meteorite Demon Forest seemed to be startled, and suddenly let out the roars of thousands of beasts. A strange soul wave, mixed with the resentment of various beast souls, spread out!
But when it came into contact with the terrifying soul wave of that mighty power, it was instantly annihilated, dissipating along with the dark mist!
