The conversation ended as Qin Feiyang disappeared again without a trace.

The Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor were enraged to the extreme. If their opponent had been stronger, they would have accepted it more easily. But the key point was, their opponents were merely two War Emperors. War Emperors, who once seemed as insignificant as ants in their eyes! Yet now, they were being constantly restrained by them. What could be more frustrating than this?

"Weren't you acting so arrogantly earlier? Why don't you dare charge in now?" Lu Xingchen's provocative voice echoed from the storm again.

But the Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor ignored him. Because Qin Feiyang was the greatest threat. If not for that treasure that allowed him to hide, they were fully confident they could annihilate the two of them with a wave of their hands.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang appeared out of nowhere. His other arm had also been repaired.

The Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor immediately launched their attacks.

But Qin Feiyang executed Ruins Return four times, unleashing four waves of invisible force, before re-entering the ancient fortress. Although his speed was slower than that of the two beast emperors, entering and exiting the ancient fortress was a matter of a mere thought for him. Even if the two beasts possessed heaven-defying power, they couldn't harm a single hair on his head.

BANG!

The invisible force roared through the sky, striking out in four directions. Many Winged Sand Pythons were killed instantly, their blood splattering everywhere.

Qin Feiyang was now a Six-Star War Emperor. Coupled with the boosting effect of his perfect battle arts, he could easily annihilate a Nine-Star War Emperor. It could be said that he could move unchallenged within his realm. With the addition of the War Technique and the Counter Curse Manual, it was no overstatement to call him the foremost expert beneath the War Ancestor realm.

Aside from the Sand Python Emperor, the Winged Sand Pythons in the desert were mere War Emperors. It was, without a doubt, a one-sided slaughter!

The Sand Python Emperor said anxiously, "Monkey, if he continues this slaughter, my people will definitely be wiped out by him! We need to think of a solution quickly!"

"What can I do?" the Monkey King roared in frustration. If he had a solution, he would have annihilated Qin Feiyang months ago.

I can't catch him. My aura's pressure cannot restrain him.

"Let's just give in to him!" the Sand Python Emperor sighed helplessly.

The Monkey King said, "How could we?"

The Sand Python Emperor angrily retorted, "Then you tell me, what can we do?"

"I..." The Monkey King wanted to say something, but found he didn't know what to say. Deep helplessness crept into his eight pupils.

"SIGH!"

With a long sigh, the Monkey King said loudly, "Qin Feiyang, come out. Let's talk."

WHOOSH!

The next moment, Qin Feiyang materialized from thin air and looked up at the two beast emperors, asking, "How do you want to talk?"

The Monkey King said, "This Emperor will no longer make things difficult for you. However, when you leave, you must return the Sacred Monkey to this Emperor."

The Sacred Monkey? Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered. He contemplated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done this from the start? There was no need for all this unpleasantness."

The Monkey King clenched his fists, suppressing the rage in his heart, and said, "This Emperor hopes you will keep your word."

Qin Feiyang replied, "Of course. I, Qin Feiyang, am a man of my word."

The Sand Python Emperor added, "Actually, there's no need for you to continue searching. The person you're looking for isn't here."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "We'll only know if he's here or not after we've searched."

The two beast emperors exchanged a look, their hearts filled with extreme frustration.

Just then, Lu Xingchen flew out of the black storm and landed beside Qin Feiyang like a bolt of lightning, returning the rib to him.

After Qin Feiyang put away the rib, he consumed a healing elixir and ascended into the air with Lu Xingchen, continuing forward.

The Sand Python Emperor glanced at their retreating backs, turned to the Monkey King, and asked, "What should we do now?"

The Monkey King's eyes flickered slightly, and he said sternly, "The Sacred Monkey is in their hands. This Emperor must follow them."

SWOOSH!

With that said, he took a step forward, tailing Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen from behind.

The Sand Python Emperor hesitated for a moment before following as well.

An hour later, Lu Xingchen frowned and asked, "Don't you feel something is off?"

Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"In the Black Rock Apes' territory, the Monkey King guarded the Sacred Monkey. So, in this desert, the Sand Python Emperor should also be guarding something of importance. But on our journey so far, aside from endless sand, we haven't seen anything else," Lu Xingchen said.

Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "Are you suggesting another Vicious Beast has sealed itself away in this desert?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head. "I'm merely speculating. I can't be certain."

This question... Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "There's no need to delve too deeply into it. Even if there is such a beast, it's none of our concern. Our mission is solely to find Ren Duxing."

Lu Xingchen nodded.

After flying for another full half-day, they finally exited the desert. However, the sight that greeted them was unexpectedly another glacial forest.

Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen were bewildered. What in the world is going on? First a verdant jungle, then a desert, and now a glacial forest—this defied all common sense. Moreover, it wasn't even snowing here. Furthermore, with the black storm raging overhead, even if it were to snow above it, the snow couldn't possibly drift down. So why does this glacier even exist?

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Gusts of chilling wind howled, so cold it pierced the bones!

Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen exchanged a glance and flew into the airspace above the glacier together, their vigilance heightened.

Within the forest dwelled a species of Vicious Bird. Their appearance was very similar to eagles. The difference, however, was their snow-white plumage, which allowed them to merge seamlessly with the glacier. Without careful observation, they were difficult to spot.

Lu Xingchen frowned. What species are these eagles? Another type of Vicious Bird we've never seen before?

Qin Feiyang recalled for a moment, a tremor in his gaze, and said in a low voice, "A relict species from ten thousand years ago—Snow Eagles!"

Relict species again? Lu Xingchen's face was filled with astonishment. What exactly is this place? Why are all the creatures living here relict species from ten thousand years ago?

SCREECH!

Suddenly, a clear and powerful cry resounded from the jungle below.

Then, a Snow Eagle, over ten meters in size, flapped its wings, stirring up a bone-chillingly cold wind as it soared into the sky!

The Snow Eagle scanned Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen, its eagle eyes filled with confusion, as it vocalized, "How did humans get in here?"

Glaciers, deserts, jungles... Lu Xingchen whispered to Qin Feiyang, his eyes warily on the Snow Eagle, "Qin Feiyang, there must be some profound mystery to this place." The aura of this Snow Eagle is no weaker than that of the Monkey King or the Sand Python Emperor!

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The Snow Eagle's gaze turned exceptionally sharp as it snapped, "This Emperor asked you a question! Didn't you hear?"

The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor dashed over, and the Monkey King shouted to Blood Eagle, "Eagle King, don't touch them!"

"Hmm?" The Eagle King paused briefly, his gaze sweeping past Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen to land on the Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor. "Why?" he asked.

The Monkey King said, "The Sacred Monkey is in their hands."

"What?!" The Eagle King's expression changed drastically. He raged, "What have you done? How could you let them take the Sacred Monkey?!"

The Monkey King sighed, "It's a long story."

The Eagle King coldly said, "If the Sacred Monkey is in their hands, then we cannot let them go!"

The Sand Python Emperor quickly interjected, "Don't be impulsive!"

"Hmm?" A glint of ferocity entered the Eagle King's eyes as he demanded, "What exactly do you mean?"

The Monkey King said, "Let them go for now. We'll talk later."

The Eagle King surveyed Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen, his gaze wavering. Eventually, he spread his wings and moved to the side.

Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen exchanged a glance and flew past the Eagle King.

But just then, the Eagle King suddenly attacked! A terrifying pressure roared out, immobilizing the two in mid-air.

SCREECH!

The Eagle King then soared into the sky, only to dive down an instant later. His massive talons glinted with a cold light as they lunged towards Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen!

Seeing this, the Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor's expressions changed dramatically.

"Stop!" the Monkey King bellowed.

The Eagle King sneered, "To be so timid before two mere War Emperors—you're truly useless trash!" He ignored the Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor, striking arrogantly towards Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen, his eyes filled with utter contempt.

"Break!" Qin Feiyang roared, his blood surging. He instantly shattered the binding pressure, and both he and Lu Xingchen vanished into thin air.

"Eh?" The Eagle King froze in mid-air, his eyes nearly bulging from their sockets.

The Monkey King and Sand Python Emperor moved to the Eagle King's side.

The Sand Python Emperor sighed. "Eagle King, they're not that easy to deal with."

The Monkey King added helplessly, "Indeed. If they were, we would have killed them long ago."

The Eagle King, feeling somewhat humiliated, his gaze dark, asked, "What in the world happened?"

"We'll talk later," the Monkey King said, then called out loudly, "Qin Feiyang, you two can come out now! The Eagle King won't harm you again."

SWOOSH!!

Before he even finished speaking, Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen appeared out of thin air.

Qin Feiyang looked at the Monkey King and said solemnly, "If you dare make a move again, I'll kill the Sacred Monkey."

The Eagle King roared, "You dare!"

Qin Feiyang sneered, "Try me."

Vicious Beasts of the War Ancestor realm might be entities others wouldn't dare provoke, but in his eyes, they weren't a big deal.

The Eagle King's eyes flashed with a fierce light, like sharp blades that could pierce one's heart.

"Eagle King, that's enough!" the Monkey King shouted. Then he turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Don't waste time. Go find what you're looking for!"

Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen glanced at the Eagle King, then turned around to resume their search of the glacier below.

The three Vicious Beast emperors trailed behind them.

Meanwhile, the Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor were recounting to the Eagle King the events of the past few months. Upon hearing their account, the Eagle King was thoroughly astonished. Qin Feiyang's cultivation speed, in particular, left him utterly shocked.

「Half a day passed.」

Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen finally departed the glacier.

The scene before their eyes suddenly changed drastically. It turned out to be an endless sea of fire!

Both were dumbfounded. Wh-what... what is this place?

A jungle, a desert, a glacier, and now a sea of fire... What could have possibly created four such drastically different environments in one place?

Lu Xingchen pointed ahead and exclaimed, "Look! What kind of Vicious Beasts are those?"

Qin Feiyang followed his gaze and saw that the sea of fire was also teeming with Vicious Beasts. And they were all of the same species. They had the bodies of lions but heads like dragons. Their fur, as red as fire, allowed them to blend into the fiery sea, making them nearly impossible to detect.

Qin Feiyang observed for a moment, a tremor in his eyes, and said, "They are Fire Dragon Lions—another relict species from ten thousand years ago!"

Lu Xingchen was no longer surprised by such revelations. He was merely puzzled. Why are all the Vicious Beasts living in this great canyon relict species from ten thousand years ago? And what connection does this place have to the events of ten thousand years ago?

Qin Feiyang was also pondering these questions, but his thoughts were far more numerous and complex than Lu Xingchen's.
