However, under Little Black’s Heaven Dog Devours Sun attack, the so-called realm was useless, because such power did not belong to Little Black; it was power emanating from Wang Yufan, a power that the Azure Ox Python could not possibly withstand.

"How is this possible... Ah..." The Azure Ox Python roared, and Little Black’s attack directly struck its enormous body.

Bi’an’s eyes narrowed at this sight. With his discernment, he still couldn’t tell that it was Wang Yufan’s doing. He thought this was Little Black’s true strength.

He once again admired Wang Yufan’s strength wholeheartedly. Moreover, he was not entirely convinced by his original submission to Wang Yufan, but now, after this incident, he was even more impressed.

The Azure Ox Python, sent flying, spat out mouthfuls of blood, and its two horns were directly broken off.

"Alright, you’re severely injured now. This dog lord doesn’t want to wipe you out. From now on, learn to be a good demon. Don’t bully those weaker than you just because you have some strength," Little Black said to the Azure Ox Python.

At this moment, the Azure Ox Python could barely speak. With that last blow, it felt as if its heart was about to cough out.

"Little Black, since things here are settled, let’s get ready to leave. As for the matters here, I’ll talk to Bi’an about them later," Wang Yufan said to Little Black.

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Little Black’s massive form immediately shrank, turning into an ordinary small dog, and directly jumped into Li Qiye’s arms.

Seeing Little Black’s actions, Wang Yufan smiled and turned to Bi’an, saying, "Since you have submitted to me, then you should manage this Demon Domain well from now on. You are currently only in the Shenzun Realm. You can completely go to higher planes. Perhaps you can only manage to get by there.

I’ve already seen that this Demon Domain can cultivate beyond the Shenzun Realm, and if you have the right opportunity, you are very likely to become the first Beast Emperor I’ve seen in my team.

Besides that, if the danger from the Dao Realm comes and they seek your help, you must assist them once. Alright, I’ve said all I need to say." As soon as Wang Yufan finished speaking, he pointed a finger towards Bi’an. A mysterious power directly surged into Bi’an’s mind.

"This... what is this? Haven’t I already submitted to you? Why are you doing this to me?" Bi’an roared loudly after seeing Wang Yufan’s actions.

"Why are you so agitated? I didn’t do anything to you. I just left a restriction in your body. If I leave and your demon race chooses to betray me, wouldn’t I suffer a great loss? You say I should choose to trust you the first time I see you, but I can’t do that.

So, I must place this restriction within your body. However, as long as you don’t choose to betray me or do something unforgivable, you’ll be fine. I believe I don’t need to tell you these things; you should already know them. Your inherited memories should contain this part." After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he stared at Bi’an without blinking.

Bi’an, upon hearing Wang Yufan’s words, felt his internal anger subside quite a bit, but he was very resistant to Wang Yufan placing a restriction on him. Although he wasn’t a true dragon, he was a descendant of the dragon race. His word was his bond; he wouldn’t easily go back on his promise. Doing so would be a disgrace to him.

He also knew that since Wang Yufan had done this, he wouldn’t remove the restriction for him.

Bi’an looked at Wang Yufan and said,

"Although you’ve placed a restriction on me, I am a descendant of the dragon race."

"Alright, alright, alright, I know all that. You’re a descendant of the dragon race. You don’t need to say so much. But you have your say, and I have mine. Besides, you’ve already submitted to me, so as long as I don’t want to kill you, you should already be grateful. Why are you still arguing with me?" Wang Yufan’s expression gradually grew cold as he spoke.

And Bi’an also realized that he was no longer the strongest here. He had already expressed his submission to the man in front of him.

Looking at Bi’an’s expression, Wang Yufan continued, "Alright, all you demons, retreat. There’s nothing else for you here. I want to have a private chat with your Demon King Lord." Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the demon lords exchanged glances, then looked towards Bi’an in the distance.

"If I tell you to retreat, then retreat. Why are you looking at me?" Bi’an said.

Hearing their own Demon King Lord say so, Flying Eagle Lord led the way, and the White Beast and Ancient Elephant Leaders also followed, heading back to their territories. As for the Azure Ox Python lying on the ground, it was carried back under the White Beast Leader’s command.

As the demons departed, the sky here cleared up once again. Li Qiye and the others also felt much lighter in spirit.

"That oppressive feeling earlier was really uncomfortable. It’s good to see the light again. There are too many people in this demon race. I think this place is probably about the same size as a Human Emperor’s territory in the Dao Realm.

Master, what are you going to talk about with this Demon King?" Li Qiye muttered to himself, then asked Wang Yufan.

Wang Yufan turned and smiled, then said,

"You few go play somewhere else for a bit."

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Li Qiye was stunned. He hadn’t expected his master to tell him to go cool off too. It seemed his master was going to tell Bi’an some things that even he couldn’t know.

After everyone had left, Wang Yufan looked at Bi’an in front of him.

"Bi’an, don’t think I’m just suppressing you with my strength. As a demon, you know that this world is inherently about the strong preying on the weak. What I want to tell you is that the Dao Realm will face a great calamity within a year, and at that time, your demon race will also be implicated.

I also know you don’t want too much contact with humans, but if the human defense lines collapse, how can your demon race remain untouched?" Hearing Wang Yufan say these words, Bi’an said with great confusion,

"Aren’t you here? I think with you around, there shouldn’t be any great calamity in the Dao Realm. I clearly felt when I fought you just now that you didn’t seem to use your full strength. Besides, what kind of calamity is the Dao Realm facing that would make you specifically ask me to help protect it?"

Hearing Bi’an’s words, Wang Yufan also understood that he must have many questions, so he spoke:

"Firstly, what I want to tell you is that your feeling is correct; I did not use my full strength. As for how much, I don’t need to tell you. Secondly, the source of this great calamity in the Dao Realm is the Demon Race. I presume you should have this in your inherited memories. The harm caused by the Demon Race is not small; their strong cultivators could be a devastating disaster for the Dao Realm.

I think you should now understand what I mean. I won’t say too much to you. As for me, I have my own matters. I don’t want to be a so-called savior, but I can point the way. In this world, apart from my current disciples and a few people around me, there’s nothing else that I care about.

When I initially asked you to become my mount, I wasn’t speaking boastfully; I was just stating the truth. Becoming my mount is something many demon beasts I know yearn for but cannot achieve. And this opportunity was placed before you, yet you didn’t cherish it, which proves you don’t have that fortune."

Bi’an, who was standing by, initially thought Wang Yufan’s words were very reasonable, but then later felt like he had indeed lost a good opportunity. However, he had already missed it, so even if it was a chance to soar, he no longer desired it.

Seeing Bi’an’s expression, Wang Yufan cursed in his heart:

"Damn it, this idiot doesn’t seem so stupid after all. He didn’t fall for it. Forget it, forget it. It’s better if I don’t make him my mount. What if I encounter someone better in the future?"

Wang Yufan kept pondering in his mind, then finally glanced at Bi’an and said,

"Alright, I’m leaving. Once I leave this time, I don’t know when I’ll return. I hope that when I return next time, your strength will have improved."

After Wang Yufan finished speaking, his figure flickered and he disappeared. He went to find Li Qiye and the others. He had already said what needed to be said to Bi’an. Now, after retrieving his last item, he would leave the Dao Realm and embark on his next journey, or more accurately, return to the familiar environment he once knew—the plane where the Lingxu Realm is located.

And the plane he was on was a high-level plane. In the high-level plane, there were nine great realms, unlike other lower-level planes. High-level planes had a greater capacity.

Wang Yufan wanted to return to the Lingxu Realm this time to see if it was still the same as before.

Moreover, in a starry sky of the high-level plane, there was also the Youming Star Abyss. Wang Yufan didn’t know how many great wars and disputes had erupted there because of him after he left, and all the disputes were for eternal life.

Wang Yufan found Li Qiye and the others, told them where they were going next, and asked them to seriously reconsider, but Li Qiye and the others responded with firm answers to Wang Yufan.

"Good, since you’ve made up your minds, I won’t try to persuade you any further. Before we set off, I need to retrieve an item of mine from this Dao Realm. Then we’ll depart." Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, everyone nodded.

"Master, where are we going next? Is the item you need difficult to retrieve?" Li Qiye asked.

"It’s very easy to retrieve. It’s something I placed myself, so I can definitely get it. Alright, you don’t need to ask. Pack up and let’s go together. I wonder if that item is still there." After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he looked at the already packed group, waved his sleeve, and the few of them instantly disappeared from where they stood. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After about a few dozen breaths, Wang Yufan appeared before a somewhat dilapidated temple.

"Master, why are we at this ruined temple? Is your item here?" Li Qiye asked.

Wang Yufan didn’t answer, because at this moment, he had a bad premonition that his item here might have been taken away. Otherwise, this place wouldn’t have become a desolate temple.

Ten thousand years ago, he had placed a fragment engraved with profound runes in this temple and asked the abbot here to keep it for him, no matter how long it took.

But Wang Yufan’s realm was only the God Venerable Realm, yet seeing the current scene, he knew that his very mysterious fragment might have disappeared. Because at that time, with his knowledge, he couldn’t even see through that fragment, which showed how mysterious it was.

But now it had come to this, and Wang Yufan’s mood was very bad.

Who destroyed it? Wang Yufan, with an unhappy mood, stepped inside.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the sole remaining Buddha statue, everything else in the temple was in disarray.

Just then, a figure appeared in Wang Yufan’s divine sense: an old monk in ragged clothes, muttering strange words incessantly.

"amitabha, the world is suffering, how can it be saved? What was left by the predecessors, we shall not forget..." Li Qiye also saw the old monk and loudly said, "Master, look, there’s an old monk! But he looks like a crazy monk. However, appearing near this temple, he might be a monk from this temple. But this temple has become such a mess, would such a monk still stay here? Master, maybe this monk is faking it, let’s be careful." Li Qiye said.

Wang Yufan didn’t say anything after hearing Li Qiye’s words. He just walked directly to where the old monk was currently lying.

Wang Yufan didn’t even greet him and spoke directly:

"Look at me!" After Wang Yufan finished speaking, a divine light directly appeared in his eyes and rushed into the old monk’s mind.

In the old monk’s mind, a golden wall crisscrossed, sealing the old monk’s sea of consciousness. Wang Yufan was startled when he saw this. He already knew that the old monk was crazy because he had sealed off the most important part of his memories in his sea of consciousness. This seal, for others, if forcibly broken, would directly lead to death.

But for himself, it was easy. He didn’t want to force the old monk to say anything. Wang Yufan wanted the old monk to reveal this secret himself, because Wang Yufan felt that the item he had stored in this temple was very likely in the old monk’s sea of consciousness.

"amitabha, it’s time for you to wake up, wake up for me." Wang Yufan’s voice exploded directly in the old monk’s sea of consciousness. The memory wall collapsed, and a torrent of memories rushed directly through the old monk’s entire body.

"Ah..." The old monk let out a tragic cry and then fainted. Seeing this scene, Li Qiye said,

"Master, what’s wrong with this old monk? He’s so startled, and now I can’t even feel his aura anymore."

Ni Chang looked at the old monk’s appearance and smiled, saying,

"Don’t worry, let’s wait and see how long this Turtle Breath Grand Technique can last. I didn’t expect that the Ghost Breath Divine Art of the Dao Spirit Temple would still have practitioners now. Not bad, not bad."

Just as Wang Yufan finished speaking, the old monk, who had been lying motionless on the ground, opened his eyes and stared at Wang Yufan in surprise.
