The Sea Dragon King and Ling Yun's group arrived at the entrance to the Ruins of Return.

This place is a massive, upside-down waterspout storm covering a radius of thousands of miles.

The terrifying gale force would tear even a Great Emperor-level expert to shreds if they entered.

Seeing the violent and terrifying Ruins of Return, Ling Yun understood why the Sea Dragon Clan had not taken precautions against this place.

No one would have expected the enemy to attack from here.

The Sea Dragon Clan did not completely abandon the defense of this place; there was a huge killing formation near the Ruins of Return.

Ling Yun pointed at the killing formation and said in a deep voice:

"It's useless. The Buddhists are colluding with the Black Dragon Clan of the Chaos Demon Realm. They can use the unique Chaos Mist of the Chaos Demon Realm to deceive the great formation."

"With such strong winds and ocean currents, no large army can emerge safely from this place."

The Way of the Sea Dragon.

"A powerful magical artifact will suffice!" Ling Yun, unwilling to waste time, looked at the Sea Dragon King, the Pond Master, and A Bao and the others:

"You all go and investigate other places, we're going to the Ruins of Return!"

After saying this, Lingyun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion jumped into the Ruins of Return.

The Land of Return to the Ruins is very peculiar. It is said that endless seawater flows into the Land of Return to the Ruins every day, but where does this seawater go, and why does the total amount of seawater never decrease? These questions remain unanswered.

The Land of Ruins exists in every great world, sometimes on land, sometimes in the ocean.

Some of the Great Worlds' Ruins are even located in the starry sky.

The moment the Golden Lion jumped into the turbulent vortex of the Ruins of Return, it felt a terrifying tearing sensation.

Even Lingyun and the Great Sage felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This clearly demonstrates the terrifying power of turbulence.

Two quarters of an hour later, the turbulence disappeared, and Lingyun and the other three saw a layer of light curtain appear beneath their feet.

There was a chaotic space on the light screen, and the seawater disappeared after entering the chaotic space.

Ling Yun had no interest in exploring this strange, chaotic space; they went directly into the light curtain.

Beneath the light curtain, there was no ocean, but a strange world just like land.

At this moment, before a spatial passage, the Black Dragon Emperor learned of the great disaster caused by the boy's abduction of Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix, and was immediately enraged.

"You deserve to die! We paid a heavy price to build this fortress, conquer the Tang Domain, and obtain the Immortal Scripture and the Thunder Pool."

Today, this place has been exposed because of you.

The Black Dragon Emperor was furious, and his body was filled with explosive black energy.

Sea Shark King's heart tightened, and he quickly said:

"Lord Black Dragon, my son was indeed confused for a moment, but the other side shouldn't discover us so quickly."

We have time to evacuate, and besides, what if they haven't spotted us?

*Snap*

Black Dragon slapped Sea Shark King across the face and scolded him:

"You underestimate the power of a Celestial-level expert!"

After a moment of contemplation, the Black Dragon Emperor said coldly:

"Go, hurry, they're coming!"

The next moment!

A cold shout rang out:

"Trying to leave?"

Then, Lingyun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion arrived at the gate of space.

The moment they saw Ling Yun and the others, the Black Dragon Emperor, the Sea Shark King, and the young man were all terrified and shaken.

To arrive here unscathed, one must be an existence surpassing even the Great Emperor.

They must be powerful immortals.

The Black Dragon Emperor immediately calmed himself down and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Gentlemen, this is all a misunderstanding. We'll leave now!"

"Black Dragon!" Ling Yun's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't make a move immediately because he hadn't seen Ling Xi and the Crimson Phoenix yet.

"Hand over Lingxi and Xiaofeng!"

The Sea Shark King instinctively tried to send Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix out, but was stopped by the Black Dragon.

Black Dragon knew that Ling Yun and his three companions had come with ill intentions; he could feel the undisguised killing intent in their eyes as they looked at him.

Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix are his bargaining chips, his life-saving chips, and he cannot use them first.

"We will definitely release those two young friends. Once we return to the Demon Subduing Star Region, we will certainly return them to their families!"

As he spoke, he led the Sea Shark King and the boy back slowly.

The Black Dragon Emperor possesses a precious cauldron, and the Buddhist army lurking in this place is inside the cauldron.

At this moment, both the Sea Shark King and the Black Dragon Emperor are in a state of high defense.

Ling Yun couldn't make a direct move. Although the Great Emperor realm wasn't as powerful as the True Immortal realm, they were capable of killing Ling Xi and the Crimson Phoenix when Ling Yun made his move.

After a moment's thought, Ling Yun spoke:

"I can release you, but you must guarantee my sister's safety."

The Black Dragon Emperor and the Sea Shark King both breathed a sigh of relief.

After bowing respectfully, he immediately rushed into the spatial passage.

"You're just letting them go like that?"

Golden Lion said somewhat anxiously.

Ling Yun waved his hand, "They'll lower their guard once they're out of the spatial gate."

When the Black Dragon Emperor and the Sea Shark King rushed out of the spatial gate and entered the starry sky.

Ling Yun made his move.

He swiftly unleashed nine initial strikes, and instantly, three chains of divine order burst forth from the spatial gate into the starry sky, firmly trapping the Black Dragon Emperor and the Sea Shark King and his son.

They instantly became frozen in time.

Lingyun used the True Word Mantra.

The Black Dragon Emperor and the Sea Shark King, father and son, were pulled back by the Chains of Order.

The moment they returned to the Ruins of Return, the Golden Lion raised his hand and pulverized the three of them.

Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix also emerged from the Qiankun in the sleeve.

"Waaaaah~ Brother!"

The two threw themselves into Ling Yun's arms, trembling and clearly terrified.

"Okay, it's alright now!"

Ling Yun tenderly rubbed their heads.

At this moment, the Golden Lion picked up the treasure cauldron from the ground and saw that there were billions of sea shark cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, and several black dragons in the world inside the treasure cauldron.

"What should we do with these guys?"

Lingxi said angrily:

"They said they wanted to refine Xiaofeng and me into elixirs!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion was furious and actually decided to refine his two beloved sisters into elixirs.

"Then boil them all into fish soup!"

Then, the golden lion roared at the cauldron, instantly killing all the creatures inside.

He picked out several sea sharks and black dragons with good bloodlines and gave them to Qiongqi and the Great Sage to eat.

He threw the rest into the underground lava.

Only then did he calm down, and the golden lion looked at the treasure cauldron and said:

"This cauldron is quite good. I remember it was a magical artifact of a certain Bodhisattva, capable of withstanding turbulent currents from cosmic black holes, oceans, and space.

It is a very powerful defensive spatial artifact.

Ling Yun laughed:

"Then you can keep it!"

Golden Lion chuckled and gladly accepted.

Immediately afterwards, the group circled the Ruins of Return, trying to find clues about the Thunder Pool.

The Ruins of Return can block all auras and divine senses, so Lei Zechi might be hiding in the Ruins of Return.

The Ruins of Return are vast, spanning millions of miles. Here, Ling Yun and his companions felt an unparalleled peace and tranquility, as if they had entered a paradise.

There are mountains and rivers here, and the scenery is beautiful. However, apart from Ling Yun and his group, there are no native inhabitants, or even any living creatures.

At this moment, Qiongqi pointed to a mountain peak and said:

"It looks like it was struck by lightning!"

Everyone rushed over and saw that the mountain peak was charred black, clearly struck by powerful lightning.
