From the cracks in the heaven, thousands of calamities, such as the Blood River Primordial Water, the River Styx Primordial Water, the Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze and the Nine Nether Draught, poured out on an epic scale.

However, these terrifying powers all appeared to be controlled by a person. They became calm, but the significance of their current state made the hearts of the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, the Yue Cheng Grand Sage, and the other demons sink.

Through the crack, one could faintly see the outline of a youth dressed in purple robes with a black overcoat. He was handsome as it sat calmly amidst the many calamities from the Netherworld Sea. Up and down his body, black Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze and blueish-purple Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire swirled around him. He was like an emperor amidst the flames. This was the eldest disciple of Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, also known as Emperor Yan.

From Xiao Yan’s eyes, one could only see dancing flames. However, his gaze was ice-cold and without a single trace of warmth as he stared at the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and the rest.

When the Yue Cheng Grand Sage, the Extreme Spiritual Grand Sage, and the Suan Ni Grand Sage looked at Xiao Yan, they felt a chill running down their spines.

The human cultivator before them may only be in his Immortal Soul Second Level, but they felt as if they were facing a Vipralopa Stage cultivator.

Normally, they would not be afraid of a cultivator in the Immortal Soul Second Level.

However, looking at Xiao Yan right now, the three Undying Demon Soul Third Level demons felt an innate terror rising in their hearts. To them, this was a rare feeling, but it was real. Yet, the reason behind their fear was a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than them.

In the Grand Celestial World today, everyone recognized that disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were superior to their peers.

However, when they faced Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, this feeling was accentuated.

Even the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage could sense that Xiao Yan, who was in the Immortal Soul Second Level, was powerful enough to pose a threat to him, especially since he had broken in from the Netherworld Sea. This meant that he could tap on the power of the Netherworld Sea at any moment. The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was not confident of success.

The moment Xiao Yan appeared, everyone knew that he was planning an ambush. He would not appear if his target did not appear. Evidently, he was waiting for the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage did not know what plans the Celestial Sect of Wonders had in mind afterward, but he was understandably uneasy.

He knew that as the dragons approached the Barren Expanses, Shi Tianhao, the Huangtian Emperor, would have to guard the Wasteland Residence. Hence, his freedom of movement was limited.

However, other than Shi Tianhao, it was hard to predict the movement of the other powerful cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

However, while all these thoughts swirled in his mind, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage did not hesitate. He looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a measured tone, “My children are a bit rowdy. I will deal with them at home. Hope you don’t mind.”

His tone was calm, but he did not dilly-dally. With his demonic powers, he immediately enveloped the three demons. Then, his fire-red four limbs stepped into the void as he instantly teleported far away.

Xiao Yan did not leave the Netherworld Sea and entered the Greater World. However, with his mind, he caused the tear leading into the Netherworld Sea to expand.

From the tear, one could feel a powerful suction force. Countless calamities swirled and formed a huge whirlpool.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s face turned pale. He had already revealed his true form, but he could still feel its powerful suction force. The tear of the Netherworld Sea was akin to a giant beast that wanted to devour him.

What made him even more worried was the fact that Xiao Yan was at the center of the whirlpool. “Could he really use the power of the Netherworld Sea like this?”

In the center of the whirlpool, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. He appeared to be in a different dimension from all those calamities. Behind him, many rays of terrifying red light flashed. They seemed to be the source of these calamities.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage frowned and light shone from his jade-white body. From underneath his feet, illusory crimson fire burned. He ascended step-by-step into the heavens as he tried to walk out of this world.

His actions were not as vigorous as that of the Heavenly Demon Ape. However, he had more endurance and his actions were more suited for a longer voyage. With each step, he seemed to be ascending an invisible staircase. While he seemed slow, he was slowly breaking free from the powerful attractive force of the whirlpool.

However, Xiao Yan laughed and then, he inversed the direction of the whirlpool’s flow. Countless calamities were expelled from it and then, they seemed to merge into one. They turned into a dark five-colored pillar of light as they went straight for the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

Where the light pillar touched, time and space were instantly obliterated. It was like the coming of the Apocalypse.

A serious expression crossed the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s face. He stood firmly in mid-air, and his actions became more vigorous. The jade-white light surrounding his body became more solid. It was not eye-piercing, but warm and calm like a piece of jade. With his humongous frame, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage looked like a white jade mountain.

At the bottom of this white mountain, a huge amount of crimson light shone. This made the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage look like the ancestral home of his tribe, Xiaocizhi Mountain.

However, this Xiaocizhi Mountain was shaking non-stop. The entire mountain, along with the earth underneath it, was shaking.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage sought to battle with Xiao Yan. With the dragons exerting pressure on Shi Tianhao, he could not dump everything and rush to Xiao Yan’s aid.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was on his way over.

It was also unlikely for Lin Feng, who remained in the Divine Lands and did not enter the Spirit Sea, or Xuan Li, who had to take care of the Origins Celestial Dragon, to arrive. Hence, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was not that worried.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage used his mana to inform him, “Zhu Ri, retreat. The situation has changed. Don’t be hasty.”

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was shocked. From the sound of it, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage did not intend to come over to Inferno Emperor City.

“The situation is to our benefit. Your goal of crushing Mount Shu is before your eyes.” The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s cold but commanding voice sounded once more, “Retreat now. There’s no need to fight with the Celestial Sect of Wonders. I have found out what I need to know.”

“Now is not the time to engage the Celestial Sect of Wonders.”

Here, the message stopped. The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage frowned, but he chose to believe the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. He roared into the sky, causing the entire area to tremble.

Before the light pillar reached him, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage took the first step and distorted time and space. This caused the light pillar to slow down.

In reality, the light pillar only appeared slower. However, at that moment, the distance between the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and Xiao Yan were infinitely extended. Both of them were extremely far apart, and they seemed incapable of touching each other.

The light pillar contained a powerful energy as it pierced through time and space. To it, they seemed immaterial.

At that moment, an odd technique was used, manipulating space itself. This caused the light pillar to be unable to move forward anymore.

This was the special ability of the Crimson Gorilla Tribe. They had deep control over space, comparable to the Hun Dun and the Ming Dragon.

When the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage reached the Vipralopa Stage, his control and understanding of space became exceptional.

Despite this, he did not relax. Instead, he looked even more serious.

This was because while Xiao Yan’s light pillar appeared to have slowed, it was still drawing closer to him.

Originally, he hoped that by distorting space, he would not only prevent it from approaching him but also make it go further away from him.

His manipulation of space was impeccable. He could allow a target to get close to him by doing away with the distance between them. At the same time, he could increase the distance between a target and himself, making it impossible for it to touch him.

At that moment, the dark light pillar continued to pursue him. He seemed incapable of escaping it.

“Lin Feng is famous for his control over space, and Xiao Yan is his disciple…” The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage felt a wave of frustration in his heart.

Among the many immediate disciples of Lin Feng, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and Yue Hongyan had the best understanding of space. Xiao Yan was not famous for it, but his understanding of it was not shallow too. At this moment, by staying in the Netherworld Sea and then incorporating its powers, he became an opponent that the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage could not underestimate.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage sought to stop and battle Xiao Yan head-on. However, a voice of warning in his heart told him not to do that.

This dark light pillar was formed from the whirlpool of the Netherworld Sea. Xiao Yan controlled it. By touching it, the dark light pillar would take the form of a whirlpool once more and trap the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. If he wanted to escape then, it would be much more difficult. All he could then was to battle Xiao Yan to the death.

While he was unwilling, he did not turn around. He flew into the distance.

However, the dark light pillar continued to pursue him. Despite the thousands of miles had traversed, it did not stop.

Inferno Emperor City returned to normal. From the crack in the heavens above, Xiao Yan’s expression did not change. “He is so determined to escape, something is wrong. By right, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage should be on his way over.”

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was not as wild and unruly as the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, but his temper could not be said to be good either. For him to escape so quickly, even Xiao Yan was surprised.

After all, the Ancient Ape Demons wanted to assess the veracity of the Divine Lands. All of their attempts were foiled by the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and they did not achieve their aims.

The leader of the Southern Wilderness of the Divine Lands, Gu Jun, had personally come to the inter-world passageway connecting the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. This allowed Shi Tianhao to leave the Wasteland Residence. He was on his way to Inferno Emperor City right now, but Xiao Yan believed that the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was on his way over too.

Under this circumstance, it was not normal for the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage to escape.

This aroused Xiao Yan’s suspicion. He was confident in his own abilities, and that of his sect. He was not someone who looked down on himself

Just as his mind raised this suspicions, he felt a sudden jerk in his heart. Something was happening in the Netherworld Sea.

The violent Netherworld Sea suddenly became chaotic.
