Chapter 5187

The two continued to move forward and encountered several waves of ignorant monsters on the way, all of which were killed by Kai with thundering means.

The energy contained in the inner elixirs of these monsters was far purer than that of the three realms. Kai collected seven or eight of them, intending to use them to refine pills in the future.

When the sun sets, the sky is dyed with a magnificent glow, coating the clouds in golden red.

Hu Mazi suddenly stopped in mid-air, looking at a valley covered in mist ahead, his brows furrowed, “Something is wrong… The flow of spiritual energy in this valley is very strange, as if it has been distorted by humans.”

Kai followed his gaze and saw that the valley seemed ordinary, with the vague outlines of a few mountain peaks vaguely visible in the mist.

He activated the Tianming Eye, and a faint silver light appeared in his dark pupils, and his vision instantly penetrated the layers of mist.

“There is indeed a problem.” Kai said in a deep voice, “That piece of fog is not formed naturally, it is a large-scale illusion array, and the center of the array is hidden under the main peak in the center of the valley. The array is arranged very delicately. If you don’t deliberately explore it, it will easily lead you to other places.”

Hu Mazi suddenly became alert: “I told you! It must be that the tribesmen have hidden their territory with an illusion array! Quick, break it!”

Kai took a deep breath and poured the spiritual power in his body into the Dragon Slaying Sword. The golden sword energy condensed on the blade, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.

He did not attack the center of the formation directly, but aimed at the weakest node of the illusion formation and slashed it out suddenly!

“break!”

The sharp sword energy tore through the sky and slashed fiercely at the seemingly empty mist.

There was a muffled “hum” sound, and the fog in the entire valley began to churn violently, like the surface of a lake with a stone thrown into it, rippling out circles of energy ripples that were visible to the naked eye.

The illusion array shook violently, and the originally blurry outline of the mountain became clear.

But when he saw the scene clearly, the smile on Hu Mazi’s face froze instantly, and was replaced by an expression of incredible astonishment.

There were indeed nine rolling peaks, and their shapes were almost exactly the same as the Jiupan Mountain in his memory.

However, there is no trace of human settlement on the mountain peak. Instead, there are ink-black palaces with hideous skulls and bat totems carved on the top. The thick demonic energy shrouds the mountain like a dark cloud, which is incompatible with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“This…isn’t this our tribe’s territory? How could it be…”

Hu Mazi’s voice was trembling, and pain and anger flashed in his eyes. “It’s the demons! These architectural styles are the work of the demons!”

Kai’s eyes focused. He could clearly feel the demonic aura emanating from those palaces. It was exactly the same as the demon cultivators he encountered in the Third Heaven, only purer and more domineering.

At the moment when the illusion array was broken, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the peak in the middle of the nine peaks, and an old voice with a bone-chilling chill came: “Which fool dares to trespass into the forbidden area of my Black Demon Palace?”

As the words fell, a black-robed figure rose into the sky from the palace on the main peak and instantly appeared in front of the two of them.

It was an old man with a haggard face, sunken eye sockets, pupils of a strange dark green color, and a faint black mist lingering around him. It was obvious that he had cultivated to the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm!

The old man glanced at Hu Mazi, and when he saw the human aura on him, his eyes revealed undisguised contempt: “How dare a lowly human from the scattered fairyland run wild in my Black Demon Palace? It seems that the humans of the fourth heaven have become less and less tolerant in recent years.”

Hu Mazi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the old man and shouted, “Bullshit! This is Jiupan Mountain, which belongs to my Hu family. When did it become the territory of your demon family? I think you are tired of living. How dare you invade my family’s holy land!”
