"Aah..."
A series of piercing pig squeals echoed through the air, sending ripples through the surrounding atmosphere.
However, facing WIKI, which obeyed no commands except those from Ye Kai and the divine, and showed no concern for any new life forms, its fate was already sealed.
With a casual release of thousands of degrees of heat, it scorched the Wild Boar Spirit beyond recognition. After nearly cooking it through, it affixed a rune to its forehead and then stored it away as experimental material.
Ye Kai walked alongside WIKI, accompanied by fully armed Combat Robots and Nano Flying Insects, making their way toward the hall.
As they entered, they noticed that just moments ago, the Nano Flying Insects had been affected by the turbulence of magic during the battle and had not taken in everything in the hall.
At that moment, in the shadows beside the altar, there was a woman with skin as pale as snow but devoid of color. She leaned against the wall, her abdomen pierced by a bronze arrow that pinned her to the side of the altar. Beneath her lay a pool of dried blood on the ground.
The entrance of Ye Kai and WIKI immediately caught the attention of Rory and Zhang Ming's Notice.
"Hiss!!"
A Giant Hornet buzzed its wings, creating a gust of wind as it lunged at WIKI. Its stinger glinted menacingly, and its sharp mandibles clicked ominously, resembling forged daggers.
"Clang!!"
A flash of red light suddenly sparked in WIKI's eyes. One of the Combat Robots raised its energy rapid-fire gun and instantly fired an Azure Blue Beam.
"Buzz..."
At that moment, Ye Kai suddenly noticed a black cross-shaped arc of light appear just a few meters in front of him, directly colliding with the four Combat Robots standing in his way.
A violent spark suddenly erupted between the Cross Black Arc and the Combat Robots, sending four Combat Robots crashing to the sides. At the same time, a golden Ruyi transformed into a meteor, unleashing a powerful pressure that surged forward.
"Bold move!!!"
WIKI's eyes glowed red as she flicked her Red Silk Ribbon, which instantly transformed into an endless wave of crimson, crashing toward the Auspicious Meteor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After dozens of dense explosions, the golden Golden Ruyi was forcefully knocked away, slamming against the wall and causing countless cracks to appear on the wall facing the Hall Door.
Zhang Ming and Rory were also caught in the blast. Their already injured bodies were further thrown back by the impact, leaving them feeling dizzy and unable to rise.
WIKI raised her chin arrogantly, flicking her long ribbon to lightly unleash several Shockwaves. Her gaze turned toward Rory and Zhang Ming, filled with an unmistakable killing intent.
If it weren't for Ye Kai not directly ordering her to eliminate them, she would have already reduced them to ashes. However, even so, they no longer posed any threat.
Although Ye Kai had no idea how WIKI wielded her magical powers or controlled the Red Silk Ribbon artifact, the fact that she casually knocked away the Golden Ruyi proved that her strength was undoubtedly on par with his own.
It was important to note that Zhang Ming's last strike had been fueled by rage and was incredibly powerful, yet it was still effortlessly blocked by her.
"Now tell me, how did you find this place and why are you here?" Ye Kai spoke calmly.
His Notice power had never focused on Rory and Zhang Ming but had always been directed at the black-clad woman whose abdomen had been pierced.
This woman was definitely not simple. Even though she hadn't removed her black cloak, one could guess a few things just by looking at her neck and hands.
The bloodstains on the ground had already dried, yet her body was not stiff, nor did it exude any signs of death. Instead, she radiated a warm aura, and even her skin glimmered with the luster of fine jade.
"You are—no, you are not human..." Rory suddenly changed expression, exclaiming in shock.
Ye Kai furrowed his brow. It was the first time he encountered someone who cursed him for not being human upon their first meeting. A cold smile crept onto his lips. "Heh... are you looking for death?"
"Idiot, shut up!!!" Zhang Ming scolded Rory in a low voice before quickly transmitting a message. "Take care of yourself, don't act recklessly. Focus and wait for the right moment to escape—get as far away as you can."
Then he slowly stood up, adjusted his clothes, and looked at Ye Kai with an expression that was surprisingly calm.
"What? Are you also here to find the True Source of the Demon, planning to refine Eternal Blood to obtain a certificate to escape Out of the Three Realms?"
Zhang Ming's gaze remained steady as he looked at Ye Kai. "The True Source of the Demon can only be refined and absorbed by the descendants of True Demons, and it must be blended with the bloodlines of a hundred thousand people. Moreover, even if you manage to get it, it would be useless; only we know the specific steps for blending and refining."
Ye Kai felt a surge of joy in his heart but maintained an unchanged expression as he shook his head. "What True Source of the Demon? What Eternal Blood? What certificate to escape Out of the Three Realms? I know nothing about it. I only just heard about this from you..."
However, he discreetly glanced at Rory and noticed his eyes suddenly widen and his face sour. He immediately guessed that this information was likely true.
"Oh?"
Zhang Ming subtly gestured for Rory to remain calm while displaying an expression that seemed intrigued. He chuckled lightly and said, "Now this is interesting. There are many entrances to the Endless Palace, but not everyone knows about them... Furthermore, what is your purpose for coming here? Do you not realize there is great danger present?"
Upon hearing this speculation, Ye Kai's heart stirred.
He had suspected that Li Ling, the third Separation Period powerhouse from the Tang Empire, was definitely a trap; he never expected she was truly plotting against him.
But what was his purpose?
"Of course I know!"
Ye Kai nodded and said, "My goal is actually quite simple. I came across a cave, collected a few magical artifacts, and just happened to discover an entrance, so I came in. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous here. As time goes on, the monsters I've encountered have become increasingly powerful!"
Standing opposite him, Rory and Zhang Ming were momentarily stunned by his words. They quickly exchanged glances, both at a loss for words.
Rory, who had initially felt indignant and even contemplated secretly urging his remaining magical energy for a desperate fight, found those thoughts fading away, and his expression began to turn serious.
"What do you want to know?" Zhang Ming finally spoke after a moment of silence.
Ye Kai did not answer; he simply looked at him calmly.
He knew that these two must know many secrets about the Endless Palace. After their fierce battle with the Wild Boar Spirit, they appeared outwardly unchanged but were seriously injured, their magical artifacts nearly destroyed, leaving them in a weakened state.
However, he did not let his guard down. In any world, facing someone who was on the brink of death—especially in a world of immortals—such individuals often possessed a final burst of courage and certainly had means for a last-ditch effort.
Ye Kai was confident that even if the two of them unleashed their full power, he could still defeat them. But that would come at a cost; it would be a mutual destruction where both sides would suffer heavy losses.
After all, killing the two of them was not worth it compared to uncovering the secrets of the Endless Palace or even those of No Return Valley.
"Forget it, Old Zhang, let’s just go." Rory suddenly spoke up at that moment. He gasped for breath as he slowly got up, preparing to walk toward the altar, but then noticed a red dot shining beneath his feet.
"Bang bang!!!"
As the Combat Robot aimed its energy rapid-fire gun, its movements suddenly came to a halt.
Ye Kai, with an indifferent expression, accepted the Golden Ruyi brought by the Nano Flying Insects and casually tucked it away right in front of its owner, showing no sign of embarrassment.
At the same time, with a casual wave of his hand, a soft leather chair appeared. He leisurely held a glass of red wine and leaned back to take a sip.
"Uh..."
Zhang Ming's face wore a bitter smile, but inside he felt as bitter as a bitter melon. The sight of someone sitting confidently before him, even taking his magical artifact without any hesitation, made it clear what this meant.
It was evident that in their eyes, he was nothing more than meat on a chopping block, an ant that could be crushed at will.
Rory clenched his fists tightly, his face tense, and his eyes revealed a complex expression. Yet he remained silent, knowing it was better to leave this situation to his old partner Zhang Ming.
"The goal this time is difficult to achieve. Everything here belongs to you. I can tell you how to collect the True Source of the Demon, harmonize the Eternal Blood, and provide you with all the information about this place..."
Zhang Ming's lips curled into a slight bitterness but quickly faded as he spoke solemnly.
"However..."
Ye Kai shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a light laugh, "However, you need me to let you go, right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ming replied firmly, his tone resonating with a powerful determination.
At that moment, Rory furrowed his brows and glanced at Zhang Ming. Then he nodded knowingly as if understanding something unspoken and soon felt relieved.
"Well, you won't die," Ye Kai waved his hand dismissively.
This was already his promise. If these two still didn't know what was good for them, he would just eliminate them. He didn't believe that without others, they wouldn't be able to get out of here.
Zhang Ming frowned and nodded. "Alright, we need the blood of the True Demon descendants to activate the altar. However, the moment it is activated, the True Source of the Demon will escape. If you want to obtain it, be prepared."
"What about Eternal Blood?" Ye Kai's heart tightened slightly.
Zhang Ming suddenly produced a gleaming dagger from his hand and gestured with it. Seeing Ye Kai nod in agreement, he took a deep breath and staggered step by step to the edge of the altar, his expression changing instantly.
He looked at the altar with a complex gaze, steeling himself before slicing open his palm. A torrent of fresh blood gushed forth immediately.
"Buzz!!!"
On the altar, which was just over a meter high, runes flickered to life. As the blood flowed steadily, strange and muffled roars echoed out, while a red beam of light suddenly shot up from the altar.
"Boom!"
The entire hall trembled slightly, dyeing everything and everyone within it a shade of red.
