A forbidden land of gods and demons, a desolate wasteland.
It is said that this wasteland was formed by a meteorite from outer space. Since when has the wasteland been filled with a persistent, foul air?
Anyone who steps into this place will die a gruesome death, including both gods and demons.
“We’ve entered the desolate ruins. Be careful.” Ruan Xiyan looked at Jun Yu beside her.
She used the Glazed Demon Flame to form a halo, dispelling the darkness and preventing the turbid energy from invading her body.
“Okay.” Jun Yu looked around, a hint of confusion in his expression.
"Ah Yu, what's wrong?" Ruan Xiyan asked, noticing that something was wrong with Jun Yu.
"I don't know why, but this place always gives me a vague sense of familiarity. I don't remember ever being here before."
“I don’t know your background. Before I found you, you were a wanderer, without parents.” Ruan Xiyan pondered. “I took a liking to you because you could use the power of words.”
"Although you couldn't master the power of words at the time, and it only came out in a moment of desperation, the ability to make your words become law is something that even the Heavenly Dao cannot do, yet you can."
"Your background may not be simple. Since this place feels familiar to you, this feeling must not be without reason. Perhaps we can find out your origins here."
"Let's keep going and see what happens," Ruan Xiyan said, taking Jun Yu's hand.
The deeper you go, the denser the turbid air becomes, and the fainter the light of the Glazed Demon Flame grows.
Ruan Xiyan's Bodhi Exquisite Heart trembled slightly, reflecting the dazzling light of the Glazed Demon Flame.
"There's movement!" Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu stopped in their tracks, looking around warily at the rustling sounds.
One by one, three-meter-tall humanoid demons appeared before them, each holding a scythe.
"Many gods and demons died in the forbidden land of gods and demons. The divine power, demonic energy and turbid energy they left behind merged to give birth to many ancient temples of gods and demons without any life force. They have extremely strong attack power."
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu exchanged a glance before charging toward the ancient temple that was rushing towards them.
With a flick of her wrist, Ruan Xiyan unleashed a sword flourish that shattered the ancient temples surrounding her.
Jun Yu's lips moved slightly, and an invisible wave of power emanated from his mouth, causing the ancient temple to explode on the spot.
The two of them joined forces and quickly wiped out the ancient temple that had surrounded them.
Suddenly, the ancient temple fragments on the ground floated into the air, and the fragments gathered together, reforming into the shape of a Rakshasa.
Jun Yu's gaze sharpened. "No matter how they are shattered, the turbid energy in the Ruins can restore them. Here, they are immortal beings."
"We can't keep fighting them indefinitely, let's go!" Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu flew quickly forward.
The ancient temples of gods and demons relentlessly pursued them from behind.
"You're back! You're finally back!!" Several sharp voices suddenly rang in Jun Yu's ears, as if trying to pull his consciousness out of his body. His expression was momentarily dazed, and his body reacted a beat slower.
An ancient temple, shrouded in turbid energy, attacked him. Ruan Xiyan pulled Jun Yu to her side, and the two switched positions. Then, she kicked the attacking temple away.
"Come here! Come to me quickly. Don't you want to know about your background? Come to my side, and I will tell you everything." The sharp voice still echoed in Jun Yu's mind.
"Ayu, Ayu," Ruan Xiyan called softly.
A gentle voice pulled him back to reality, and Jun Yu suddenly woke up, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Ah Yu, are you feeling unwell? You've seemed preoccupied ever since we entered the Ruins of Desolation, and you didn't respond when I called you just now," Ruan Xiyan said with concern.
Jun Yu stroked Ruan Xiyan's cheek, "Just now, some sounds suddenly entered my mind."
“A sound? I didn’t hear anything.” Ruan Xiyan shook her head. “This desolate place is eerie in every way.”
“I have a gut feeling that I can find my origins here,” Jun Yu said, looking ahead.
"If you want to find out about your origins, I will help you find them. But you must remember, your origins are never something that can hold you back. You are simply Jun Yu, the person I, Ruan Xiyan, want to hold hands with." Ruan Xiyan's eyes sparkled like the brightest stars in the sky.
Jun Yu smiled and said, "I understand. We'll talk about my matter later. Let's find the entrance to the Cloud Heaven first and settle accounts with the Heavenly Dao."
When facing Ayan, he could put everything else aside.
Jun Yu's eyes were so cold they were almost freezing into ice shards. His beloved Ayan, whom he cherished so dearly, had actually been outmaneuvered by the heavens.
He also severely injured Ayan, causing her soul to be completely destroyed. The actions of Heaven are absolutely unforgivable!
He wanted to get back a hundredfold or a thousandfold the pain and harm he had inflicted on Ayan.
Ruan Xiyan gathered demonic energy in her hands. She and Cang Jun had been best friends for tens of thousands of years, spending the most time together. She was most familiar with his power and aura.
Even if he is now the Heavenly Dao, his original power will not change much, as long as she can detect even a trace of Cang Jun's power fluctuation.
She can use this to trace the past and find the entrance to the outer heavens.
"This way." Ruan Xiyan suddenly looked in one direction.
As the two flew in that direction, they dealt with the ancient temples that were chasing them from behind. They eventually arrived at a lake of blood.
"Strange! The fluctuations in energy are coming from the lake. Could it be that the entrance to the rift leading to the Cloud Heaven is at the bottom of this Blood Lake?"
"Let's go down and take a look," Jun Yu said.
The two clasped hands and leaped into the lake of blood.
They chased the target to the ancient temple by the lake but found nothing, and then dispersed on their own.
The moment Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu entered the Blood Lake, an extremely strong suction force came from them.
In an instant, heaven and earth turned upside down, and yin and yang were reversed.
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu emerged from the dark lakebed and arrived above a sea of clouds.
“We are no longer on the Nine Provinces Continent. Could this be the abode of the Heavenly Dao, an independently created realm, the Cloud Beyond Heaven?” Jun Yu looked around.
At the edge of the distant sea of clouds stands a magnificent palace.
Ruan Xiyan clenched her fist. "It seems that palace is where Cang Jun lives."
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiyan moved extremely fast and arrived in front of the palace in just a few steps.
"Cang Jun, get out here!" Ruan Xiyan's voice pierced the sky.
"Insolence! This is the Cloud Realm, not a place for petty people like you. Step back!" A giant golden palm attacked Ruan Xiyan.
The golden palm stirred up the surrounding sea of clouds, causing ripples to spread across the clouds.
Ruan Xiyan flicked her fingertips, and the Frostfall Sword stood before her. "Since you won't come out and prefer to be a coward, then I will cleave your palace in two."
The icy blue Frostfall Sword continued to grow larger, and the chill emanating from its blade grew stronger and stronger.
The Frostfall Sword slashed down with an aura of dominance over everything.
