"Yes, we're almost there."
The girl in red smiled faintly as she turned her head and regained her composure.
"Everyone, be careful, there seems to be something unusual about this place."
An old man spoke and stood up from his previously sitting cross-legged position.
This elderly man appeared to be in his sixties, dressed plainly, with a slightly hunched back. Despite the wrinkles on his face, his eyes were shining with brilliance.
"Uncle Guan, what have you discovered?"
The girl in red turned around, her bright eyes shining like stars, showing respect to the old man.
"Miss, there is a strong presence of demon beast aura in this place!"
The plain-looking old man spoke, his gaze sweeping the empty space around him, his eyes shining, his expression slightly solemn.
The girl in red became instantly vigilant. Her figure under the red clothing was graceful and attractive, and her dress fluttered slightly. At this moment, riding on the back of the bird-like demon beast, she exuded an air of elegance and pride.
Suddenly, the roars of beasts from all directions grew increasingly closer. Swiftly, numerous demon beasts leaped into the air from all around.
In an instant, numerous massive demon beasts stood tall in the air, their fierce eyes intimidating.
From among these massive monster figures, a crimson light filled the air, and a middle-aged man with shoulder-length red hair appeared.
The middle-aged man wore a yellow robe with a scarlet cloak fluttering behind him. His body was covered in scale-like mystic patterns, emitting a powerful and intimidating aura.
As soon as this middle-aged man appeared, the temperature around the empty space immediately rose, causing one's skin to feel searing pain. Qi surged within the body, and even breathing became difficult.
"Demonic Emperor Realm!"
The plain old man's face changed drastically as he looked at the middle-aged man with red hair in the void, and his eyes changed color in secret.
"Are they all humans...?"
The middle-aged man with red hair glanced over several people, his red eyes glowing, emitting an inexplicably intimidating aura. If Su Yi were here, he would surely recognize at a glance that this red-haired middle-aged man was none other than Emperor Blazing Dragon.
"We are from Sacred Mountain, it's better for Your Excellency to step back!"
The plain old man's expression changed as he looked at the middle-aged man with red hair, but then he quickly returned to normal. As a member of Sacred Mountain, not anyone dared to provoke him.
"So what if it's Sacred Mountain? Don't threaten me! I am the Demon Emperor of the Yao clan, what do I fear from your Sacred Mountain!"
Emperor Blazing Dragon's eyes twitched for some reason, as if he was in a bad mood. As soon as the words fell, his figure swiftly passed through the void like a ghost and appeared directly in front of the plain old man.
Claw marks emerged, tearing through the void, accompanied by a crimson blaze.
"You guys go first, I'll find you later!"
The plain old man's face immediately changed, and at the same time, his handprints condensed. Instead of retreating, he instantly transformed into a blurry figure and clenched his fist, distorting the void. With sharp gusts of wind, he directly collided with the claw marks.
A deep and muffled sound, the void trembled, and a terrifying gust of wind spread out.
"Listen to Uncle Guan, let's retreat quickly."
The flying demon beast let out a roar, its aura erupted, and it quickly departed, moving as fast as lightning.
Several massive demon beasts, upon seeing this, roared and followed suit.
"You beast, Sacred Mountain is not something you can provoke!"
Looking at the departing red-clad girl and the others, the plain-robed old man's face immediately turned grim. The terrifying aura emanating from his slightly hunched figure was something that could not be underestimated, not even for Emperor Blazing Dragon.
Emperor Blazing Dragon grunted, his gaze darkening. A fierce and scorching aura surged, accompanied by a chilling aura. His figure shot towards the old man like a streak of red light.
"You audacious beast!"
The old man's expression turned cold, and in his flickering eyes, he focused on the rapidly approaching red figure. He slapped his hand, gathering a handprint that mobilized the energy of the surrounding world.
"Insignificant human!"
Emperor Blazing Dragon let out a deep shout, a fiery red radiance enveloping him, accompanied by a bloodthirsty aura shrouding half of the void. His fist directly collided, and the scorching energy spread out overwhelmingly.
The two collided, radiant light shining, the sky reverberating like thunder. Unmatched power erupted instantly, and the scorching aura swept through like a storm, as if a bright sun rose in the night sky, illuminating the Forest of Demons.
The plain old man was forced back, but it seemed that Emperor Blazing Dragon didn't gain the advantage either.
Staggering, Emperor Blazing Dragon with a darkened expression, seemingly surprised by the strength of the former, narrowed his eyes slightly as his body once again shot forward, accompanied by a scorching aura that set the world ablaze. Flames engulfed the surroundings, filling the void.
In an instant, amidst thunderous roars, Emperor Blazing Dragon transformed into his true form, a colossal body of a dragon spanning dozens of zhang as it stretched across the empty space.
The massive body of Emperor Blazing Dragon was engulfed by flames, resembling surging waves that inundated its form. Its crimson eyes glowed like a volcano, while clusters of fiery lights danced atop its head.
"So it's a Blazing Heavenly Dragon!" Seeing the true form of Emperor Blazing Dragon , the plain-looking old man's eyes trembled fiercely.
With a thunderous dragon roar, the scales of Emperor Blazing Dragon undulated, while its pair of scarlet flesh wings fluttered, unleashing volcanic-like eruptions of flames that swept through the sky. Seizing the opportunity amidst the sparks and lightning, its body soared through the air, launching another attack.
The plain-looking old man's gaze became solemn, and at the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. An invisible pressure permeated the void, ready to collide with Emperor Blazing Dragon .
Emperor Blazing Dragon seemed particularly enraged today. Its flesh wings flapped as its body suddenly spun around and dove downwards. Towering flames surged out from within its body, finally forming a sea of fire that engulfed the old man, akin to mountains collapsing and seas crashing down.
The scorching wave of fire covered half of the sky, and the intense heat caused white smoke to billow from the surrounding void.
The high temperature caused even the old man's expression to darken.
Within the surging sea of flames, the massive body of Emperor Blazing Dragon appeared and disappeared intermittently. A flaming claw left distorted imprints on the void as it descended upon the old man.
The old man's expression completely darkened. His handprints congealed, and his body was enveloped in radiance, exuding a vast aura that soared into the sky. He possessed a formidable might that directly blocked Emperor Blazing Dragon .
Thunderous roars echoed, and demon beasts were everywhere.
"Retreat quickly, hurry!"
Shouts rang out as collisions resounded. Many figures were surrounded, engaging in fierce battles with a horde of demon beasts.
A ferocious demon beast opened its blood-filled maw, devouring a person in a single bite. Blood flowed down its fangs, sending shivers down one's spine.
A large creature roared, its massive hoof descending, crushing a person into a pulp, causing blood to spurt from beneath its foot.
Cries of agony and shouts continued incessantly as the remaining few figures panicked and retreated hastily.
Many demon beasts pursued relentlessly, roaring without respite.
