At the moment of recognizing the item, Xiao Baifeng’s figure flickered, transforming directly into a beam of white light, and flew towards the Yinming Spiritual Crystal.

The three men in black robes transformed from the Hell Three-headed Dog also merged into one and shot out.

Only Lan City Lord, after experiencing initial ecstasy, chose not to grab but revealed an unpredictable expression.

Instead, the bald man with a scar on his head beside Lan City Lord transformed into a black shadow and lunged forward.

All this was seen clearly by Zhou Yu hidden nearby.

Although he didn’t know what the Yinming Spiritual Crystal was.

But seeing this scene, even a fool could tell that it was definitely an invaluable treasure.

Moreover, it’s a treasure that could drive those in the Void Refinement Realm mad.

Zhou Yu wasn’t a saint, naturally, he was tempted.

However, he took such a risk on this trip for the Holy Relic.

No matter how good other treasures were, he wouldn’t be moved.

In just one breath’s time, Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog had arrived in front of the Yinming Spiritual Crystal.

Xiao Baifeng’s speed was the fastest Zhou Yu had ever seen.

But compared to the Hell Three-headed Dog, it was still slower.

However, neither were the fastest.

The fastest was actually the bald man in the Divinity Transformation Realm beside Lan City Lord.

His figure immediately reached the Yinming Spiritual Crystal, eyes flashing uncontrollable excitement:

"This spiritual crystal is mine!"

He said, reaching out to grab it.

Yet at that moment, a sudden mutation occurred.

The originally quiet Yinming Spiritual Crystal suddenly burst with a bizarre rune.

These runes swept towards the bald man, almost instantly transforming into giant rune hands that grabbed him.

The bald man had no chance to react and was dragged into the Tomb of Death by the rune hands, disappearing.

At the same time, the rune hands also reached for the two others.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog, who arrived later, immediately retreated swiftly.

Luckily, their reactions were very quick.

The rune hands caught nothing.

After they retreated to a certain distance, the rune hands disappeared.

At this moment, Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog’s expressions turned extremely grim.

Fortunately, they had been cautious earlier, and seeing Lan City Lord not taking action, and instead, a lowly figure in the Divinity Transformation Realm beside him making a move.

So they deliberately slowed down, letting that Divinity Transformation Realm ant test the danger within.

If there was no danger, with their cultivation and power, even if that Divinity Transformation Realm ant obtained the Yinming Spiritual Crystal, it couldn’t escape their clutches.

If there was danger, then that ant could serve as a stepping stone.

Unexpectedly, there really was danger.

But, what exactly was that rune hand?

With their vision, they couldn’t discern it.

At this moment, Lan City Lord suddenly thought of something.

His expression became extremely grim.

Without even thinking, he turned and flew towards the entrance without looking back.

Lan City Lord’s reaction left Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog puzzled.

Has this damned Human Race just given up on competing for the Holy Relic?

Or is he up to some scheme again?

Just as they were perplexed.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar resounded.

Immediately after, the Tomb of Death began to boil violently.

Like boiling water.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu, hidden nearby, also changed his expression, trying to stabilize his True Fire Escape Technique, then retreated.

Just as Zhou Yu withdrew about a hundred meters, suddenly the Tomb of Death began to recede.

As if something was draining the water from the bottom of the pool. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Furthermore, the speed of retreat increased rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the pool disappeared.

A bottomless Black Abyss was revealed below.

Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog both stared suspiciously at the dark opening.

What’s happening?

They glanced at each other, saw confusion in each other’s eyes, but also an uncontrollable urge.

The water had receded, perhaps the Holy Relic was at the bottom.

Neither wanted the other to seize the advantage.

While they were on guard against each other, a violent tremor suddenly came.

The next moment, a rune hand, ten times larger than before, reached out from the opening.

Boom!

The giant rune hand slammed into the ground nearby, shaking the earth.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog hadn’t even had time to be shocked when another hand reached out from below.

Immediately after, a chilling glow flashed beneath the dark opening.

This cold light contained infinite eeriness.

The next moment, the two hands clapped suddenly, and the opening was torn apart.

The earth shattered.

A massive head emerged from below.

The glow seen earlier was from the eye of the monster.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu suddenly recalled from Ye Ling’s memory.

"Ancient Strange Species!!!"

Zhou Yu’s face drastically changed.

Ancient Strange Species refers to monsters from the distant Ancient Times.

Unlike other Demon Clan with numerous offspring.

As for Ancient Strange Species, perhaps only a few exist in the entire Primordial Realm or any Plane.

However, just one could rival the level of True Dragon or True Phoenix.

If that’s the case, forget the Void Refinement Realm, even experts in Integration or Tribulation Crossing Realm would die.

Only maybe Mahayana experts might barely compete.

Realizing this, Zhou Yu abandoned any thoughts of the Holy Relic.

Without a word, he fully activated his movement technique to retreat swiftly.

His movement immediately revealed him from the True Fire Escape Technique’s concealment.

Zhou Yu’s sudden appearance startled Xiao Baifeng and the Hell Three-headed Dog.

They never imagined there were others hidden nearby.

But when they looked at Zhou Yu, he had already fled some distance, and the Hell Three-headed Dog naturally couldn’t recognize Zhou Yu.

However, Xiao Baifeng showed a puzzled expression.

Zhou Yu’s figure gave her a familiar feeling.

As Zhou Yu escaped, the ground completely shattered.

A massive one-eyed monster over a hundred meters tall crawled out from below.

This one-eyed monster closely resembled a Human, but its head bore a gigantic eyeball, occupying almost two-thirds of its head.

The massive eyeball was covered in eerie runes, appearing terrifying.

At this moment, Xiao Baifeng finally recognized the creature, her face turned extremely pale.

"Demon Eye Spirit Clan!"

"Impossible!!!"

"How does the Demon Eye Spirit Clan still exist in this Plane!!!"

After a shocked exclamation, Xiao Baifeng turned and fled.
