Like a black dragon, the old demon Ruchen transformed into a dense, pitch-black mass of demonic energy, rapidly traversing the vast and boundless primordial chaos.
Its speed was astonishing, as if it had transcended the limitations of time and space, and in the blink of an eye it had traveled hundreds of millions of miles away from its original location!
Along the way, this demonic energy was unstoppable, like an incomparably sharp sword, easily cleaving through layers upon layers of primordial chaos.
It flashed by like lightning, leaving behind dazzling streaks of light; like an arrow released from a bow, it shot forward with unparalleled momentum.
However, although Old Demon Ruchen did not witness Hu Le and Lady Xuanyou chasing after them, his keen senses kept sending out warning signals.
He could clearly feel that the deadly threat had not diminished at all, but was instead approaching him at an alarming speed.
The feeling was like sharp thorns piercing deep into the back, causing unbearable pain; it was also like a group of incurable sores clinging tightly to the body, impossible to shake off.
This lingering sense of fear followed him like a shadow, constantly weighing heavily on the old demon Ruchen's heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Having lost all his avatars, Old Demon Ruchen suffered a severe blow, his vital energy was greatly depleted, and his once unfathomable realm also plummeted.
However, at this moment, facing life and death, he could no longer care about anything else.
In order to save his life, he resolutely used a peerless divine power similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique or burning his essence blood, which increased his speed to an unprecedented peak.
He did this simply to try and secure a sliver of hope...
Time seemed to stand still, stretching endlessly, and he kept moving forward, having forgotten how much time had actually passed.
Just as he was feeling tired and lost, suddenly, without warning, a bright light appeared in front of him, like a beacon in the darkness, instantly attracting his attention.
Through the bright light, he vaguely saw a mysterious void, unfolding before his eyes like a dream.
And above that void, a magnificent and imposing celestial city stood tall. This celestial city was like a heavenly palace, radiating a captivating and enchanting light.
The sky above the immortal city was filled with endless auspicious energy, like layers of thin gauze fluttering in the air.
Above the city wall, celestial light flowed like water, shimmering with countless Dao runes, like twinkling stars, dazzling and brilliant.
He stared wide-eyed, scrutinizing the area, a surge of excitement welling up inside him—yes, this was the legendary Hongmeng City!
As long as he bypasses this immortal city, he can successfully enter the void rift, then travel back to the Hongmeng World on the other side, thus escaping his predicament and regaining his freedom.
He didn't believe that Xuanxiang Daoist and Xuanyou Niangniang would have the audacity to keep chasing him into the other world of Hongmeng.
However, he was still worried that his movements would be noticed by the cultivators in Hongmeng City.
Therefore, he made a quick decision, temporarily halting his escape light and swiftly unleashing a profound and unfathomable technique of invisibility.
This spell is considered the pinnacle of demonic magic. Its wonder lies not only in its ability to perfectly conceal one's form, but also in its ability to hide one's aura.
More importantly, unless the other party's cultivation reaches the Creation Realm or above, there is absolutely no way they could detect his presence...
Sure enough, after he successfully concealed himself, his journey went smoothly without any obstacles.
Before long, he successfully bypassed Hongmeng City and arrived at the mysterious and dangerous void rift.
Throughout his journey, not a single person noticed his presence.
With escape seemingly within reach, his excitement grew, and he couldn't wait to step into the passage in the void rift and return to his homeland.
But then, something unexpected happened. A faint ripple suddenly appeared in the previously calm void ahead, as if some powerful force was stirring up this space.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling seven-colored celestial light burst forth from the ripples.
The celestial light was dazzling yet incredibly gentle. In the blink of an eye, Hu Le and Lady Xuanyou appeared along with the celestial light.
When the old demon Ruchen saw the two who had caught up with him, his heart sank as if he had fallen into an abyss.
He silently prayed in his heart: "By the Primordial Chaos above, please don't let these two brats discover the Ancestor..."
However, things didn't go as planned; fate always seems to like playing tricks on people.
The next moment, Hu Le finally spoke with a smile. His indifferent voice exploded in the ears of the old demon Ru Chen like a thunderclap, completely shattering his last bit of wishful thinking.
"Old Demon! My senior sister and I have already arrived. What are you still hiding for? Show yourself now!" Hu Le's voice rang in the old demon's ears, full of authority and confidence, making it irresistible.
At this moment, Old Demon Ruchen felt a chill run through his body, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He knew that he was probably doomed this time.
However, Old Demon Ruchen still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that Hu Le was merely bluffing him and had not actually shown himself.
However, Hu Le simply shook his head helplessly, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Then he turned to Xuan You Niangniang beside him and said softly, "It seems that this old fellow still has some illusions."
Upon hearing this, Lady Xuanyou couldn't help but let out a contemptuous laugh: "Heh... he's just stubborn until he sees the coffin before he sheds a tear..."
Hu Le nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "Very well! Since that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to take matters into my own hands and get him out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the purple bamboo staff in his hand, instantly shooting out a sharp, crescent-shaped blade of energy.
This blade of energy ripped through the sky like lightning, hurtling away with a piercing whistle. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be torn apart. Its target was none other than the location where the Old Demon Ruchen was hiding.
At this moment, Old Demon Ruchen was already terrified. Seeing that the energy blade was about to hit him, he had no choice but to hurriedly reveal his true form.
He didn't dare say a word more, and without hesitation turned around and transformed into a wisp of demonic energy, rushing rapidly to the side as if trying to escape this terrifying place.
However, now that Hu Le has caught up, how could he let him escape so easily?
Hu Le gave a cold laugh and said mockingly, "Do you think you can escape from my grasp like this!"
In the blink of an eye, Hu Le immediately raised the Hongmeng Bell in his hand and gently shook it.
The sound of the bell froze time and space.
The old demon's fleeing figure, like dust, paused for a moment...
