Checking in for 100,000 Years

This time, Ye Yun landed unceremoniously on the forehead of this Ancient Giant Demon.

He gently stomped his foot.

HUM!

The Ancient Giant Demon was stunned and stood up abruptly. "Who attacked me?"

It quickly stood up, looking around but found nothing; only dense Demonic Qi was rolling around it. It didn't realize that a person was standing above its head at this moment.

"Long time no see. It's been 100,000 years, and you haven't died yet. I must say, your Ancient Giant Demon clan truly has a long lifespan…" Ye Yun remarked with a chuckle, standing atop the Ancient Giant Demon's head with his hands behind his back.

"It's you?" Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Ancient Giant Demon immediately gnashed its teeth.

One hundred thousand years ago, I was severely injured by this guy. One hundred thousand years later, he's unexpectedly still alive!

The Ancient Giant Demon reflexively reached out and grabbed towards its head, but unexpectedly, it grabbed at air.

With a flicker, Ye Yun appeared in front of the Ancient Giant Demon. At this moment, he was radiant, emitting strands of divine light, giving off a Spirit-like aura.

The Ancient Giant Demon widened its eyes, unable to believe what it was seeing. "Your cultivation base… it has reached the Divine Monarch Realm?" it exclaimed in shock.

Ye Yun nodded. He looked at this familiar Ancient Giant Demon and asked with a smile, "Do you remember her?" As he spoke, Ye Yun used his Mana to conjure up the image of Nangong Jade.

"How could I not remember? Isn't she your accomplice?" the Ancient Giant Demon coldly retorted. Although it admitted that it could not defeat Ye Yun now, the arrogance of the Ancient Giant Demon clan stopped it from backing down.

"Afterwards, were you ever manipulated by her using that Ancient Demon Violin, attacking the Dragon God Sect or others?" Ye Yun asked again.

"At that time, I was injured and didn't participate in that action. It was a few other Giant Demons from our clan that followed that girl…" the Ancient Giant Demon said gruffly.

"There are Eighteen Heavenly Iron Pillars suppressing the outside. How did your fellow Giant Demons get out?" Ye Yun asked, his eyes narrowed.

He hadn't realized this issue before. Just a moment ago, a crucial point had flashed through his mind. Even if Nangong Jade had the Ancient Demon Violin to manipulate some Giant Demons, how could she have taken the Ancient Giant Demons away from this place? For nearly a million years, he had never heard of Ancient Giant Demons being able to leave the Ancient Demon Abyss. How did Nangong Jade manage to do that? The memory of another Ancient Giant Demon contained no recollection of them leaving the Ancient Demon Abyss. It seemed to have been erased.

Upon thinking about this, Ye Yun immediately felt that the situation was becoming more complicated.

"I don't know either. You Human Race are always scheming against each other; how would we know?" the Ancient Giant Demon coldly snorted in annoyance.

Ye Yun smiled faintly, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Once again, he activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, pulling the Ancient Giant Demon into an Illusory Realm and beginning to read its memory.

This Ancient Giant Demon had not lied. Due to the severity of its injuries, it had not participated in that action, and as a result, there were many things it didn't know.

Ye Yun retracted the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, waking the Ancient Giant Demon once again.

"What did you do to me?" The Ancient Giant Demon swayed its enormous head, gazing at Ye Yun with wide eyes. Just earlier, it had felt a brief moment of stupor and instinctively sensed that something wasn't right.

Ye Yun chuckled, shaking his head. "You should continue with your sleep. I'll go ask the others..." Saying this, Ye Yun left.

The Ancient Giant Demon watched Ye Yun disappearing in the distance, shuddering all over.

Terrifying! This man has reached the Divine Monarch Realm. I'm afraid he could kill me with a flick of his finger!

The Ancient Giant Demon's black, furry face showed an expression of lingering fear as it hastily lay flat on the ground, closing its eyes and refraining from speaking anymore.

It was shrewd this time, telling him everything it knew and thereby sparing its life. Otherwise... I reckon I would have met a calamitous end this time.

Ye Yun traversed ceaselessly through the thick Demonic Qi in the Ancient Demon Abyss. He read the memories of every single Ancient Giant Demon. All who had participated in that disturbance were immediately killed by him on the spot.

Sorting through all these memories, Ye Yun discovered that Nangong Jade had orchestrated all of this. As for how Nangong Jade was able to lead the Ancient Giant Demons out of the Ancient Demon Abyss, that remained a mystery.

Could it be that Nangong Jade deciphered the runes on the Eighteen Heavenly Iron Pillars? Ye Yun suddenly thought of this possibility. His figure flickered, and he flew towards the outside. He intended to examine these runes, to study them seriously, hoping to find some sort of lead.

Just when he was not far from the exit of the Ancient Demon Abyss, Ye Yun suddenly heard tremendous sounds of fighting from a particular direction, interspersed with screams of agony.

Could it be that those three Human Cultivators are being attacked by the remains of an Ancient Giant Demon? Ye Yun looked in that direction.

Sure enough, two enormous Ancient Giant Demon skulls, three arms, and a huge leg were launching a crazed attack on these three cultivators at the tenth layer of the Life and Death Realm. Whether it was the skulls, arms, or the leg, these fragments of the Giant Demon's corpse had changed entirely from before. The grotesquely altered remains had now become bizarre and terrifying.

These three Human Cultivators desperately battled these eerie corpse fragments, finding themselves in critical danger.

"Sister, I'll hold them back! You two escape quickly!" a middle-aged man shouted, manipulating a splendid sword light to ward off the attack of the Giant Demon's fragments.

Another man took out several magic treasures, which radiated a terrifying light as he hurled them from afar. A middle-aged beautiful woman nearby showed a hesitant expression on her face.

If she seized this opportunity, she could escape and save her life, but her two brothers would probably perish in the Ancient Demon Abyss.

"Sister, don't forget our ancestors' teachings! Only if you survive is there hope for us!" the middle-aged man wielding the sword light shouted anxiously.

The middle-aged woman struggled internally for a moment. The next second, she whirled around and flew towards the exit of the Ancient Demon Abyss.

"You bizarre Giant Demon fragments, I'll take you down with me today!" the middle-aged man holding the Sword yelled out, charging bravely.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light. A young man in a white robe appeared in front of him, causing the middle-aged man to jump in fright and stop abruptly in his tracks.

Next, his eyes widened, and his jaw almost hit the ground. The young man in white was enveloped in a faint white glow.

He waved his hand casually, and the ferocious Giant Demon corpse fragments instantly turned into ashes, disappearing without a trace.

What kind of cultivation base is this? Th-this is too horrifying…

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, shocked to the point of being petrified like statues.
