As Ye Fan slashed down with his sword, an immense burst of sword energy erupted.
The sword energy formed a gigantic sword shadow, which instantly descended!
In that moment, the massive body of the octopus creature was cleaved in half!
Countless streams of blue blood splattered everywhere.
The seawater turned blue from the creature's blood.
At that moment, Ye Fan waved his right hand, releasing a powerful gust of wind.
The octopus creature, which had been sliced in two, was swept toward the shore by Ye Fan in an instant.
"This thing should also be extremely nourishing," Ye Fan commented.
It was only then that the people around snapped back to their senses.
Terrifying.
This was simply too terrifying!
A creature of such massive size had been effortlessly split in two with a single slash!
"Alright, quickly haul it ashore!"
Soon after, a large group of soldiers began pulling the corpse of the octopus creature onto the beach.
For ordinary humans, creatures like this were a great source of nourishment.
In the following half-month, the entire Tianyun City continued to be rebuilt in an orderly fashion.
Because a large number of people had begun cultivating, and with the regular consumption of powerful energy-infused seafood from the otherworld, their strength grew rapidly!
Additionally, the production of pills had increased, and more types of pills were becoming available.
After taking these pills, the speed of their cultivation was accelerated even further.
The soldiers' strength grew by leaps and bounds, and even ordinary people were becoming much stronger.
The task system set up by Ye Fan for the Martial Alliance was also implemented.
As long as one completed specific tasks, they could earn points.
These points could be exchanged at specialized shops for pills, weapons, martial techniques, and more, creating a positive cycle.
In terms of martial techniques, there was no need for concern.
Ye Fan had spent hundreds of years as a swordsman, mastering countless martial techniques—more than enough for humanity to study and learn from.
Today, Ye Fan flew out from Tianyun City, heading toward a spatial rift in the distance.
This spatial rift was home to a demon giant.
"Master, you've arrived!"
As soon as Ye Fan entered the space, the demon giant greeted him obsequiously.
Over the past period of time, it had been residing in the otherworld and had regained its strength, reaching its former demigod level.
However, even at its peak, its power was still far inferior to Ye Fan's.
Moreover, having signed a master-servant contract, no matter where it tried to hide, Ye Fan would be able to sense its presence!
"Have you found the Evil God?" Ye Fan asked, sensing the information the demon giant had sent, which was why he had come.
Once the master-servant contract was signed, the servant could transmit information to the master through a special energy pulse.
"I found it!"
"The God of Darkness," the demon giant replied earnestly.
"How powerful is this Evil God?"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
He was currently seeking more Evil Gods.
As long as he could locate and eliminate these Evil Gods, his strength would increase rapidly.
"It's extremely powerful—a being that controls the forces of darkness."
The demon giant shuddered at the thought, its body instinctively trembling.
"Such a powerful entity... If I go, will it kill me?" Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, speaking calmly.
"This... I can't say for sure."
The demon giant hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"But I swear! I have no intention of luring you to your death!"
Fearing that Ye Fan might misunderstand, it quickly added.
With the master-servant contract, a single thought from Ye Fan could turn the demon giant to dust.
Naturally, it didn't dare offend him.
"Take me there," Ye Fan commanded, wasting no more words.
He was eager to see just how strong this God of Darkness was.
"Right away!"
The demon giant nodded and began leading the way.
With the demon giant's guidance, Ye Fan flew quickly in a specific direction.
Whoosh—
The speed of their flight was incredible, with the wind howling past their ears.
Before long, the environment around them began to change, becoming darker and more ominous.
Strange, eerie howls echoed from the surroundings, making the air feel even more unsettling.
Glancing ahead, Ye Fan saw strange creatures emerging from the dark soil.
Some of these creatures were giants, flying up from the ground, preparing to attack Ye Fan.
"Begone."
Ye Fan spoke calmly, not even bothering to draw his sword.
In that instant, his body erupted with a surge of powerful flames!
The flames surged forward, engulfing the creatures that had leapt up to attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In mere moments, their bodies were reduced to ash by the searing heat.
The nearby demon giant, witnessing this display, was filled with a deep sense of fear.
The power Ye Fan unleashed was far too terrifying.
Even a touch of those flames would likely reduce it to cinders in an instant.
The thought sent shivers through the demon giant's body.
"Are we there yet?" Ye Fan asked, his voice calm as he continued flying.
"We're almost there!"
The demon giant hurriedly replied.
After flying a bit further, Ye Fan could sense that everything around him had changed.
Darkness.
The place was shrouded in an impenetrable darkness.
Only the light from the flames surrounding Ye Fan's body illuminated the area, offering a faint glow.
On the ground below were strange, sinister-looking buildings.
These structures were adorned with carvings of monstrous creatures, as well as totems resembling eyes.
Just looking at them was enough to send chills down one's spine.
"Master, may I stay behind here...?"
"The God of Darkness is so powerful that it could kill me instantly."
The demon giant's voice was filled with fear.
"Fine."
Ye Fan responded indifferently, flying forward without stopping.
"Thank you, Master!"
The demon giant shouted, breathing a sigh of relief.
Ye Fan pressed onward, flying deeper into the heart of the area.
Soon, he began to feel an eerie sensation coming from within.
His entire body suddenly became ice-cold.
