The overwhelming battle led to physical exhaustion and fainting, a troubling issue for every warrior and practitioner. However, such problems are not common, as not everyone can push a fight to such extremes.
Ye Feng, who had used all his strength to defeat the Flying Spirit Lion, also wanted to hold on. After all, fainting in that situation could lead to unpredictable actions from the cunning Sky Lion. Fortunately, the powerful Underworld General summoned by the Soul Guiding Banner was nearby to protect him, along with the Weilian Shattered Immortal Spear.
Yet during this troubling process, the dazed Ye Feng experienced an incredibly long dream. The dream felt surreal; his soul seemed to leave his body and began to drift in Titan's Abyss. Guided by a map in his mind, he wandered aimlessly.
It was like sleepwalking, devoid of conscious awareness, only able to hear a voice directing him to explore various places. Intriguingly, in his subconscious, he was unaware that he had already been influenced by another version of himself within the Mural World.
Similar to Qianjizi on the other side, the Avatar of Haotian Shura True Monarch had never had a simple purpose from the start. Three of the Four Great Formation Eyes had been inadvertently destroyed by Ye Feng, leaving only one remaining. It was uncertain whether Qianjizi would achieve his goals; the outcome was difficult to predict.
Ye Feng only sensed that his body was undergoing changes, guided by the empowered Divine Soul as it led him through the entire Underground Palace. It felt like exploration or searching until finally, without any awareness, he woke up!
"Haah! Haah! Haah!" He gasped for breath, drenched in sweat. Ye Feng felt disoriented when Xuan Lao's voice echoed in his mind.
"Kid? What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know; I just suddenly felt a chill..." Ye Feng squinted, still feeling uneasy. He looked up and noticed that the Underworld General was quietly standing nearby while the Flying Spirit Lion had transformed into human form, appearing rather restrained and no longer as unruly as before.
It seemed that this creature had been subdued! However, witnessing this scene that should have been joyous left Ye Feng feeling utterly uninterested.
Xuan Lao sensed his change and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Ye Feng shook his head; he couldn't determine whether what he saw in that dream was real or merely a figment of his imagination. But what if it wasn't?
"Xuan Lao, I feel like I did something wrong..."
Xuan Lao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. He did not expect Ye Feng to suddenly change so much, but he seemed to have guessed something.
"Are you worried that the Ancient Demon God will be resurrected because of your actions?"
Ye Feng nodded and said bitterly, "I just realized that perhaps I deliberately ignored it. I took away three Ancient Divine Artifacts without considering the consequences!"
"I know. I thought you would understand the consequences of your actions, so I didn't stop you."
Ye Feng was taken aback and then sighed, "Just now, I had a dream. I saw the scene of the Central of the Underground Palace, where the sealed Titan seems not to be dead after all. It is struggling and roaring; it's terrifying."
"So what?"
"I don't plan to go to the next formation eye anymore. Perhaps keeping the last seal in place can restrain the Demon God!" Ye Feng said firmly.
Hearing this, Xuan Lao sarcastically replied, "Self-deception. If one seal is effective, then why do we need four formation eyes? You have already destroyed most of them. Do you really think this will make you feel better?"
At his words, Ye Feng felt a bit embarrassed. He indeed thought this way, but if he didn't do it, he felt that even if he collected four Divine Sect items, his guilt would be hard to quell. Moreover, if he accidentally released the Ancient Demon God, the disaster would be unimaginable!
"Regardless, I support your decision. So what do you plan to do next?" Xuan Lao suddenly changed his tone.
"I want to go directly to the center of the Underground Palace and take a look!" Ye Feng said with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
"That's good; you should have gone to see it long ago. Although I don't know what kind of dream you had, it's a good thing that it woke you up," Xuan Lao said after a moment of silence.
Ye Feng listened, somewhat taken aback. It seemed that from the very beginning, Xuan Lao had known everything; he just chose not to explain. Did he also know about the Avatar of the Haotian Shura True Monarch in the Mural World?
This question remained unasked as he shifted his gaze to the transformed Flying Spirit Lion.
Once again taking on the imposing form of a man, but lacking the previous arrogance, the Sky Lion looked at Ye Feng, feeling a bit flustered. He had been completely subdued by Ye Feng's displayed abilities, and now, as a defeated foe, he had lost his temper.
Ye Feng looked at him calmly and said softly, "I have no intention of subduing you. I only wish to take the Shattering Immortal Spear, and I must pass your test to do so. Now that I have succeeded, I believe you can be free."
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Lion Man was stunned. He had imagined countless possibilities for how Ye Feng might treat him—such as demanding his allegiance or something else—but he never expected that Ye Feng would simply let him go.
During Ye Feng's unconsciousness, he did not escape on his own purely because of the threats posed by the Underworld General and the Shattering Immortal Spear. To him, this human clearly had countless ways to deal with him, so why did he do nothing?
"Are you really going to let me go just like that?" the Spirit Lion Man asked incredulously.
Ye Feng smiled lightly. "What else could I do? Force you into my service? Come on, a forced alliance is never sweet. Besides, with your nature as a spirit beast, I doubt you would willingly become a human's subordinate. After being sealed in this Underground Palace for ten thousand years, you should enjoy your freedom."
After hearing this, the Spirit Lion Man fell silent again. The sudden offer of freedom was overwhelming. He couldn't defeat Ye Feng and no longer needed to guard the Shattering Immortal Spear, but letting him leave just like that felt difficult to adapt to; after all, it had been ten thousand years since he returned to the human world.
Few knew about the connection between Titan's Abyss and the Underworld; he was one of them. Now looking at this human before him, it seemed he was unaware...
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "I don't know what you intend to do, but I want to remind you that there are things in this Underground Palace that you cannot explore one by one. Although you can take treasures from me, many other places will not be so fortunate."
Ye Feng frowned, recognizing this fellow's kind reminder. However, he was more concerned that it seemed this Sky Lion knew much more!
He couldn't help but speak up, "I have no intention of exploring this Underground Palace, but what I need to do is indeed very dangerous. To be frank, I want to go to the center of this Underground Palace to meet the sealed Ancient Demon God!"
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Lion Man was taken aback, but soon revealed an expression that suggested he expected nothing less.
"I guessed correctly. Regardless of your purpose, I can only advise you to abandon this idea!"
"Why?" Ye Feng frowned, confused.
"There are many places you might go, and perhaps you won't return!" The Spirit Lion Man's cryptic words made Ye Feng sense something and fall silent...
A deathly silence enveloped the dim space; aside from breathing, there was nothing but the oppressive atmosphere that lingered for a long time until it was finally broken by the Spirit Lion Man.
"I have been here for Ten Thousand Years and have sensed many humans who were stronger than you. Their purposes should be similar to yours, but what I sensed later were all traces of extinction. No one has ever reached the center of the Underground Palace and returned!"
Ye Feng realized that things were not so simple. If indeed more powerful warriors or cultivators had gone to the center of Titan's Abyss, then whether the Ancient Demon God still survived should have been known by that individual in the Mural World. After all, even the Sky Lion before him could sense changes.
"What else do you know? Can you tell me?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.
The Spirit Lion Man did not beat around the bush; his expression became hesitant, as if lost in some memories. After a long while, he slowly said, "My former master was also one of the builders of this Underground Palace. Since you know about the Ancient Demon God, you should also be aware of the secret behind the existence of this Underground Palace."
"The reason for sealing the Demon Gods is that they should not exist in this world. Their power and terror are beyond your imagination. Even in the Ancient Era, there were not many humans capable of subduing a Demon God. In the Vast World, among the highest realms, there were only a few!"
"My master was Zhaoling Weiwu Zhenjun from over Ten Thousand Years ago, who is also the owner of the spear in your hand. Besides here, there are three other places where three Powerful Beings' Divine Beasts remain as formation eyes. The creators of the Four Great Formation Eyes were all renowned true Divine Sects from Ten Thousand Years ago!"
"Even looking back at Ancient Times, there are very few who can compare to these four. However, after the sealing back then, two Powerful Beings died in the formation of the seal. My master did not; he left me behind and Shattered Void to leave, and the other one did the same."
The more Ye Feng listened, the more he felt that things were becoming clearer. According to this Sky Lion, the Avatar of Haotian Shura True Monarch in the Mural World should be the other surviving one. It seemed that each of the Four Great Formation Eyes had a guardian left behind by a Powerful Being.
Aside from the Soul Guiding Banner of the Ancient Witch God and the Ghostly Grief of the Nine Nether Divine Tree, this place was guarded by the Flying Spirit Lion. Therefore, the last one should be protected by the Avatar of Haotian Shura True Monarch!
"I am actually very shocked that you could find your way here because the positions of the Four Great Formation Eyes have been specially arranged, making it difficult for ordinary people to locate them. Taking away my Shattering Immortal Spear does not equate to destroying the formation eye! This is why I allowed you to take it before I appeared to stop you!"
"What!" Ye Feng was finally astonished. Could it be that taking away the Divine Beast that sealed the formation eye did not count as destroying it?
Seeing this, the Flying Spirit Lion's expression slightly changed, seemingly caught off guard, but quickly said, "The Four Great Formation Eyes complement each other. Simply taking away any one of them will not cause serious consequences for the grand formation. However, if all are taken away, it would be very dangerous!"
"I see..." This time, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and did not show his previous exaggerated expression. If it weren't for this Sky Lion informing him, he truly would not have known this!
Then, the Flying Spirit Lion calmly continued, "But I can sense that three of the formation eyes have already been destroyed. The Underworld General you summoned is from the first formation eye related to Witch God; you must have also taken away the second one, which is the Nine Nether Divine Tree, right?"
...Upon hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly fell into an awkward situation.
