The sky over the Spiral Mountain Range turned a dusky yellow.
Countless grains of sand formed tornadoes, twisting and contorting in the air.
The Sand Sea Priest, clad in a gray robe and wearing an ancient mask, looked towards the peak of the Spiral Mountain Range, advancing step by step as the dreams along the way shattered one by one.
This posture resembled the ancient deities from the myths of the Aifei Region.
"Finally tracked me down, not bad."
Yan Zu chuckled softly twice, having long expected the Sand Sea Priest to find him, as he didn't intend to hide, and this world was just too small.
"I rather think I arrived too late. Had I come earlier, there would have been far less trouble," the Sand Sea Priest said, brimming with murderous intent.
The ancestors of the Priest Family merely sealed Yan Zu, but now the Sand Sea Priest wanted to kill him.
Although unsure if his ability was sufficient, he wanted to try.
Yan Zu didn't regard the Sand Sea Priest's threat seriously. A mere Catastrophe Level couldn't pose any threat to him.
Despite being reduced to the strength level of a Star Realm God due to the long seal, this was the deepest realm of dreams, his dominion, and no one could kill him here.
Yan Zu's smile abruptly stiffened as a black beam soared, staining the other side of the eighteen-layer Spiral Mountain black.
With a flick of his hand, Zhang Yang once more shattered the world riddled with cracks around him.
The surrounding dreams crumbled one after another, and those ensnared within finally awakened under external force.
The Spiral Mountain Range comprised eighteen levels, and no matter how long one wandered in dreams, they would merely tread in place. To climb upwards, one had to shatter the dreams, traversing them in reverse.
Intense wind pressure blew Yan Zu's hair, masking his horrified expression.
"That direction... that intriguing little fellow? Could he actually be a hidden Star Realm God?"
"No wonder I couldn't see through him. But what's his purpose in hiding? Why would a Star Realm God pretend to be an ant just for me to toy with? Is he a masochist?"
"Also, why do I feel somewhat familiar with this aura?"
He turned his body and saw the attire on Zhang Yang, suddenly feeling an urge to flee.
For he recognized this aura and clothing as belonging to the perverse powerhouse who sealed him in a pyramid thousands of years ago!
Yan Zu instinctively retreated two steps, his panicked expression caught by the Sand Sea Priest, who showed a puzzled look.
This suddenly appeared individual should be Black Cross, a Catastrophe Level powerhouse. Who is he really, and why does Yan Zu, this ancient great evil, fear him so much?
After retreating a certain distance, Yan Zu suddenly stopped and straightened his body.
"Sorry, earlier was my mistake; I've just realized... you are not him."
"He wouldn't be as weak as you even in decline. You are too immature."
A pink-gray mixed aura emanated around Yan Zu, making the entire Spiral Mountain Range tremble. The victims immersed in dreams raised their heads, all sensing the world's change.
"You don't think you two can handle me just by joining forces, do you?"
"Even though I'm a tiger fallen to plains, I'm not something you two wild dogs can bully. Have you considered the cost of acting against me?"
Yan Zu had sufficient pride because he believed only that mysterious pervert in this secluded place could seal or kill him again.
And that pervert hadn't appeared in a long time, possibly left this world, or perhaps died quietly.
No matter how, the cooperation of these two Star Realm Gods couldn't kill him.
They couldn't kill him, seal him, or even significantly harm him. In the coming days, these two would suffer endless harassment.
When the barrier of this world vanished, the two audacious Star Realm Gods would bear his unending wrath.
Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest exchanged a glance, quickly forming an alliance and launching their attack simultaneously.
"When the cage rises, all worlds are like a prison."
Wen Wen pressed his hand on the ground, and prison-like cages rose, enveloping the battlefield with the power of the Sanctuary. Thick chains flew from the cells, flaring through the air.
In the True Sequence, 'Hand of Detention' could only be used occasionally, but in the Catastrophe State, it could be wielded at will.
A black vortex appeared in the sky, forming a massive black longsword, as a powerful attack brewed.
The Sand Sea Priest had a different style, seemingly eager to destroy heaven and earth once he started fighting. The yellow sand enveloped everything, as sharp as knives. Whether flesh, rock, or steel, everything was fragile as tofu.
Some special sand hid in the Sand Sea, extremely covert yet potent enough to threaten Catastrophe-Level beings.
Watching both launch their attacks, Yan Zu snorted coldly, reaching towards the sky.
In an instant, stormy winds raged, and the world changed, as gray-pink energy charged towards Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest with apocalyptic momentum.
Compared to this attack, the grand setups of Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest seemed petty.
The scene tightened Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest's hearts, but upon collision, Yan Zu was directly revealed.
His seemingly formidable attack shattered under Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest's assault, and he quickly flew upward to evade the two's encirclement.
Afterward, Yan Zu's form turned illusory, and the surroundings began warping with fantasy elements.
Unable to win head-on, Yan Zu changed his combat strategy.
Being a master of illusion and dreams made it difficult for Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest to catch him in such an environment.
At times, toilets were filled with Yan Zu's face, and other times, his figure couldn't be found atop the Spiral Mountain Range.
While Wen Wen focused on searching, he suddenly felt a chill as a sharp point stabbed his heel.
Numerous Black Chains whirled and sliced around Wen Wen, yet failed to catch Yan Zu's shadow.
Wen Wen flared up: "For the Three Cubs' food, I'll do you in!"
The Sand Sea Priest was surrounded by sand, not an ideal attack target, so Wen Wen bore the brunt of harassment. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFɪre.net
This infuriated Wen Wen greatly, his veins bulging as he pondered whether to don the Illusory Desire Heavenly Garment again to slightly block the illusion effects.
It was fine to wear women's clothing as cannon fodder, as he'd kill afterward and no one would know Wen Wen wore them.
But wearing dresses before a Catastrophe-Level expert was too shameful; he couldn't silence the Sand Sea Priest.
"If shame can give me strength, then should I... make a sacrifice?"
Fortunately, the Sand Sea Priest seemed to complete some arrangement, temporarily dispelling Wen Wen's thought.
