“Once Chiyou awakens, we will stand no chance of opposing him,” Yang Jian said gravely, enunciating each word.

That year's battle at the Heavenly Court was extremely tragic. As someone who had experienced it firsthand and survived, he was all too aware of the ancient war god's true combat strength. Beyond his deep-seated hatred, there was also fear.

“Now is not the time to talk about this. The Demon Clan has sent more than just Lord Jiuming; there are even more powerful beings involved. We are no match for them; we need to find a way to escape and then make further plans,” Zhenyuanzi said.

His words had barely ceased when a rumbling sound came from the skydome above, as if there were still people clashing.

Just as they were puzzled, that voice cursing loudly rose again, “Jiuming, I've said it before, those small fry are yours, Zhenyuanzi is mine. If you can't recognize your place, I don't mind dealing with you first.”

“Hmph.”

A cold snort came from high altitude, and the sounds of battle ceased.

Shen Luo was shocked in his heart. What kind of powerful person could make a being as mighty as Lord Jiuming hold back his temper?

“Shen Luo, you came through the Hell Labyrinth, do you know the way back?” Yang Jian suddenly asked.

“I was brought here by the Ruin Kun. I only have a map, but I have no idea about the way,” Shen Luo said with a bitter expression, taking out the Hell Labyrinth Map.

While they talked, he unfolded the map, only to freeze for a moment. On that map, a winding red line strikingly led from the Valley of Evil Yin all the way to the Swamp of Desire.

“Eh, isn't that a route?” Nezha looked at Shen Luo with a peculiar expression.

“This route, I haven't walked it; it must have been drawn by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva…” Shen Luo guessed with little confidence.

At that moment, a powerful oppressive force suddenly descended from the sky, making even the Taiyi powerhouses present feel their hearts quiver.

“They're upon us. We can't worry about that now. You take the people and retreat first; I will hold them off,” Zhenyuanzi said, and as he did, a surge of green light exploded from him. His form grew like a mountain, stretching a thousand feet high, and he thrust a palm towards the heavens.

The next instant, the sky and earth seemed to collapse, and the entire ruins did just that.

Yang Jian promptly shouted and charged into the Valley of Evil Yin with everyone.

Shen Luo, holding the Hell Labyrinth Map, ran at the forefront, keenly watching the paths marked on it, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice beside him, “Celestial Immortal…”

He turned his head to look, only to find it was none other than Qing Lu, and he couldn't help but speak somewhat speechlessly, “How have you not run yet?”

“Celestial Immortal, where can I go now? I can only follow you all,” Qing Lu said, his face twisted in distress.

Hearing this, Shen Luo no longer bothered with him and led everyone swiftly across the Iron Chain Bridge, plunging into the Black Bamboo Forest.

Only then did he finally learn that the remnants of those who had taken refuge in the Underworld numbered nearly ten thousand, and among them, the Human Immortals made up only a minority; surprisingly, there seemed to be more monks from the Demon Race.

This was not unexpected, though. The Demon Clan had targeted the Human and Celestial Immortals from the very start, wooing the Demon Race until later on when they began to indiscriminately deal with anyone who refused to submit to them, exterminating them all without exception.

This massive group of people rushed into the Hell Labyrinth, with the Demon Clan Army in pursuit.

After passing through the Valley of Evil Yin, a vast plain appeared before Shen Luo and others, blanketed in white, devoid of any grass or trees, giving it an extremely desolate appearance.

It wasn't until they reached the edge of the plain that they realized why it appeared pure white–the ground was covered with countless white skeletons. Among them were many belonging to the Human Race, as well as the large remains of the Demon Race, though most had long since decayed into dust.

Fearing to tread carelessly, the crowd could only follow the path Shen Luo was charting.

“`

They hadn't gone far when suddenly, to the right of the team and not far away, the ground collapsed, opening a huge pit from which a giant White Bones claw reached out, bracing itself on the ground and pulling its massive bony frame out.

It was the height of a hundred feet, its overall contour no different from that of the Human Race's skeleton, except it had four White Bones arms, each holding a Bone Spear, with cold ghostly fire burning on them.

Sensing the presence of many living beings, the Ghost fire in the eyes of the White Bones giant flickered as it took a few steps and charged over, swinging all four spears in unison towards the crowd below.

“Ignore him and keep moving forward!” Nezha's voice rang out just as he disappeared from sight.

In the next instant, flames erupted and the White Bones giant's body burst open, scattering into a pile of shattered bones on the ground.

However, no sooner had they disposed of one threat than the ground on another side gave way too. Three White Bones giant elephants crawled out and charged toward them, but the Bull Demon King took them on, scattering them with a charge.

The team stumbled their way forward and finally made it out of the White Bones plains, only to come upon a forest of sword-like brambles, where they were confronted by a group of Exotic Beasts covered in iron scale armors.

While they were still tangled in battle, the Demon Clan, following the traces of their skirmish, had already caught up and were hot on their trail.

Shen Luo handed the map to Nie Cai Zhu and, along with the Bull Demon King, flew to the back of the team to face the furiously approaching Demon Clan Army of thousands head-on.

The Bull Demon King raised his hand to take out the Banana Fan. Standing tall in the high altitude, he swung his arms wildly, and whirlwinds roared forth, soon scattering the oncoming Demon Clan Army in disarray.

Shen Luo was not to be outdone, flitting back and forth through the Demon Clan with the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique, his SeAnchoring Iron Rod constantly crashing down in mid-air, smashing the already fragile White Bones plain into a pockmarked terrain.

One by one, fierce Ghost Kings sleeping deep beneath the plains were awakened by him, and they climbed out of the ground to fight with the pursuing Demon Clan forces.

After causing chaos across the whole White Bones plain, Shen Luo and the Bull Demon King flew to catch up with the others.

Before the two could return, a streak of green light flashed behind them as Zhenyuanzi caught up, his robe in front stained with blood–he seemed to be injured.

“Great Immortal, are you alright?” Shen Luo asked with concern.

Zhenyuanzi was the linchpin for all of them; should anything happen to him, their morale would surely falter, making it difficult to muster the will to resist further.

“I'm fine. I repelled that guy; he won't catch up for the time being,” Zhenyuanzi said.

“Who was it?” Shen Luo asked curiously.

“An unyielding and indocile guy, though I never thought he'd throw in his lot with the Demon Clan,” Zhenyuanzi shook his head, not willing to elaborate.

Above the White Bones plains, Lord Jiuming looked over the chaotic aftermath, his face as dark as water. He knew that if that guy had been willing to join forces with him, Zhenyuanzi would not have been able to escape so easily.

Unfortunately, that guy was more powerful than him and did not heed his command.

“Lord Jiuming…” a leader of the Demon Clan stepped forward tentatively and began to speak.

“Enough, there's no use chasing them through the Hell Maze. It will only put us at a disadvantage. Go guard the exits of the maze instead; let's wait for them to show up,” Lord Jiuming said with a cold huff.

“Yes.”

The leader responded and summoned the Demon Clan to retreat back into the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
