After thoroughly scouring the ancient medicinal garden, Jun Xiaoyao left directly.
He had obtained an important piece of information from the Silver-Armored Man.
It could be said that even if Jun Xiaoyao were to return directly to the Three Emperors Barrier and reveal this news, he would still gain considerable merit.
However, the merit gained this way would not be enough to completely crush Hongchen Emperor Son in their wager.
Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao could only act personally.
He soared through the Void Realm, continuing to delve deeper into the Shattered Star River.
The deeper one ventured into the Shattered Star River, the greater the danger, obviously.
Not to mention newcomers like Jun Xiaoyao, who were just starting their training at the Three Emperors Barrier.
Even some veteran Town Boundary Army members generally wouldn't venture deep into the Gray Mist Zone.
Jun Xiaoyao, one could say, truly didn't know the meaning of fear.
The depths of the Shattered Star River were silent and desolate.
Previously, before venturing deep, Devouring Race members could occasionally be encountered.
But the deeper one went, the less likely one was to encounter Devouring Race members.
This in itself was somewhat abnormal.
Jun Xiaoyao continuously activated the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Great Art, concealing his aura so that no living being could detect him.
After some time.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression tightened.
Although Divine Soul perception would be suppressed in the Gray Mist Zone.
Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit was far from ordinary; even in such circumstances, it could still extend over a vast distance.
Within his Divine Soul perception, an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura faintly emanated.
It was an aura potent enough to make other Prodigies and Town Boundary Army members avoid it like a plague.
But Jun Xiaoyao not only showed no fear but instead headed towards that aura.
After a moment, finally, the source of that aura appeared in Jun Xiaoyao's sight.
It was, astonishingly, an incredibly massive black Devourer Nest!
The nest, resembling a beehive, was conical, with countless holes on its surface.
It was immensely vast, like an ancient War fortress, or a heaven-suppressing mountain.
Its surface also flickered with runes and killing light, similar in nature to the array patterns of the Three Emperors Barrier, used for defense against enemies.
Even with Jun Xiaoyao's extensive knowledge, seeing this boundless Devourer Nest, he couldn't help but feel a slight sigh of awe.
He now understood why the Devouring Race was so troublesome and posed such a great threat.
If such a vast nest, like an ancient life planet, were to be teleported into the Boundary Sea World.
What kind of destruction would it cause?
Destroying some worlds at will would be effortless, wouldn't it?
This time, the elders of the Three Emperors Barrier would absolutely not have anticipated this.
They had only discovered some traces of the Devouring Race, yet a Devourer Nest had appeared.
And what did the appearance of a Devourer Nest signify?
It meant the existence of at least an Imperial-level Devourer!
Such Devourer Nests, even within the Devouring Race, were not numerous; they were extremely precious existences.
Precisely because of this, whenever a Devourer Nest appeared, it signified that at least an Imperial-level Devourer was stationed within it.
And what Rank was an Imperial-level Devourer?
That was an Emperor Realm level existence!
The question was, was this an existence that the younger generation dared to provoke?
Even all the Town Boundary Army members who came this time, combined, would be swallowed in one gulp by an Imperial-level Devourer.
Unless an Emperor Realm level figure from East Ridge Pass made a move, no one could handle this situation.
"It truly is a Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair."
Looking at the black Devourer Nest, Jun Xiaoyao even let out a light laugh.
If anyone else were to see his actions at this moment, they would definitely think he was going to his death.
However, the one-year wager was nearing its end.
Jun Xiaoyao was not prepared to let go of this opportunity.
Without any hesitation, Jun Xiaoyao's figure seemed to fade into the Void Realm, flashing towards the Devourer Nest.
If it were during a War.
The Devourer Nest would naturally activate all its defensive measures, making it impossible for Jun Xiaoyao to enter directly.
But currently, it was not a War state, so the Devourer Nest was naturally not so heavily guarded.
Moreover, it seemed that many of the Devouring Race members within the nest had gone out to hunt other Town Boundary Army teams.
Therefore, the Devourer Nest was somewhat emptier than imagined.
Although there were some Devouring Race guards patrolling the outer perimeter of the nest.
But Jun Xiaoyao had concealed his aura.
And with his mastery of the Space Book, concealing himself in the Void Realm was even easier for him.
So, very quickly, Jun Xiaoyao silently entered the Devourer Nest.
The entire Devourer Nest was incredibly massive, truly resembling an ancient life planet.
Its interior was also intricate and complex, with caves and tunnels everywhere, winding like a winding river.
If a non-Devouring Race creature were to enter it, they would definitely become disoriented.
Moreover, there was a special power within it that could suppress the Divine Thought of outsiders.
"This Devourer Nest does have some tricks."
Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
If external creatures were to invade it, being unable to perceive with Divine Thought, they would suffer considerable losses and find it difficult to completely conquer.
Of course, these methods were useless in the face of Jun Xiaoyao's Ganges Grade Primordial Spirit.
Jun Xiaoyao could still perceive directions and the movements of the Devouring Race.
"The largest cluster of auras is in the deepest part of the nest."
"However, besides that, there are also a few strong auras…" Jun Xiaoyao muttered.
Those few strong auras were much more powerful than the Silver-Armored Man Jun Xiaoyao had killed earlier.
In other words, those few auras belonged to King-level Devouring Races!
Equivalent to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
This place, let alone for a young generation like Jun Xiaoyao.
Even for Quasi-Emperor experts, it was a Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair, a place of near-certain death.
This was simply a nightmare-level dungeon difficulty.
But alas, Jun Xiaoyao had a cheat on him.
What if it was nightmare difficulty?
Jun Xiaoyao didn't think much, taking the fastest shortcut to the deepest part of the Devourer Nest.
However, on the unavoidable path, there was still a King-level Devouring Race aura blocking the way.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't hesitate or delay, proceeding straight ahead.
And at this moment.
In the depths of the Devourer Nest, within a vast space.
A figure sat cross-legged, its aura submissive.
It was just a humanoid figure, but it was incredibly chilling.
Because this figure, astonishingly, had three heads!
The middle one was a normal human head.
To its left was a black Dragon head, and to its right was a spider head.
It looked terrifyingly grotesque, as if it were pieced together from fragments of different creatures.
From this, one could see how terrifying this Devouring Race creature was, giving off a bizarre and spine-chilling sense of dread.
And what was even more unnerving was this.
At the back of this figure, there were eight spider legs.
Each one was incredibly sharp, like steel War spears, capable of easily piercing the Void Realm.
This Devouring Race creature looked too terrifying.
A humanoid body, three heads, eight spider legs, it looked bizarre no matter how one saw it.
At a certain moment, this Three-Headed Devourer suddenly sensed something.
"Who!?"
At the entrance of the cave ahead, a white-robed figure slowly approached, hands clasped behind his back.
"A King-level Devouring Race, this is my first time encountering one."
The arrival was, naturally, Jun Xiaoyao.
