After all, Floating Island was once a trial ground set up by the Suspended Void Sect. To break through Floating Island’s restriction and take Qin Baoluoaway, that old man had to be at least a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse.
Furthermore, his cultivation was definitely not as simple as the 1st level or 2nd level of Spirit Manifestation Realm.
For Qin Baoluo to be taken away by such a powerhouse could be considered his opportunity.
After settling the matters on Floating Island, Li Yun prepared to leave the Azure Void Region.
But on the day before he was set to depart, a piece of news suddenly arrived.
Someone had spotted traces of Yan Wuhen outside the Dark Forest.
"Dark Forest?"
Li Yun’s brows immediately twitched.
He was no stranger to this place.
Back then, he had led Ye Qingxue and another person through the Dark Forest to return to Martial Ascension Gate from the vicinity of Floating Island.
That place was a gloomy forest that stretched across half of the Azure Void Region. It contained countless terrifying demon beasts. In the deepest parts of the forest, there were even great demon beasts at the Spirit Manifestation Realm level.
At that time, Li Yun could barely contend with a 5th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator. He had gone through many hardships there and survived several life-threatening situations. In the end, one could say that he had successfully walked out of the Dark Forest only because of luck.
But even then, he had faintly felt that the Dark Forest was not simple.
It seemed to hide some unknown secret.
Now that the matter of Yan Wuhen had appeared, it was the perfect time for him to take another trip to that forest.
"Yan Wuhen, it is time for the grievances between us to be settled."
Li Yun greeted Elder Bai Jing and the others before setting off immediately.
A few days later, he entered the Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest was pitch black and deeply shadowed.
Even with Li Yun’s current cultivation, the range he could see with his naked eyes was only a few dozen meters.
However, his soul power was not significantly affected here.
With Li Yun’s current soul strength, he could naturally see everything around him clearly.
Within the depths of the forest, he saw enormous serpents slithering through the shadows, apes hundreds of meters tall moving between the ancient trees, rhinoceroses whose entire bodies seemed covered in iron armor, and giant mantises lying in wait, ready to pounce at any moment.
All kinds of demon beasts moved slowly within the forest.
Each of them possessed terrifying strength.
Even the weakest among them were comparable to cultivators at the 8th or 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Back then, in Li Yun’s eyes, these demon beasts were existences he could not afford to provoke.
He could only avoid them cautiously and fear drawing their attention.
But now, these demon beasts could not pose any threat to him whatsoever.
Even if they all attacked together, he could handle them easily.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without restraining himself, Li Yun executed Aurora Step.
His speed reached an extreme, and he moved through the Dark Forest like a bolt of lightning.
"Roar!"
Soon, his movement provoked the fury of several demon beasts.
An enormous serpent raised its head and bit down toward Li Yun.
At the same time, a black roc with wings spanning hundreds of meters swooped down from above. Its wings folded inward like sharp swords as it stabbed fiercely toward Li Yun.
More than a dozen apes howled and shrieked.
They leaped through the trees, picked up large rocks, and hurled them toward Li Yun.
In the distance, more demon beasts roared and charged over.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of demon beasts had surrounded him layer by layer.
"Weak."
Li Yun snorted coldly.
These Sacred Rank demon beasts were simply too weak to pose any challenge to his current self.
Swoosh!
He casually swung his sword several times without even using any specific sword technique.
Several bursts of Sword Qi erupted and directly blasted all those demon beasts away.
Then his figure shot forward like lightning, breaking through the encirclement of the demon beasts and streaking toward the deepest part of the Dark Forest.
Along the way, demon beasts constantly appeared and tried to block his path.
But these Sacred Rank demon beasts simply did not have the ability to hinder Li Yun.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar erupted from the depths of the Dark Forest.
The sound was incredibly loud and instantly echoed through most of the forest. Its terrifying intensity was enough to shatter the eardrums of a 9th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator.
Clearly, this was the roar of a great demon beast comparable to a Spirit Manifestation Realm cultivator.
"Howl!"
Before the roar had even faded, another terrifying bellow erupted.
The intensity of this sound was no weaker than the previous one. It was equally heart-shaking and soul-stirring.
Another great demon beast comparable to the Spirit Manifestation Realm.
These two great demon beasts seemed to be engaged in battle.
Earth-shaking beast roars rang out continuously, accompanied by astonishing combat fluctuations. Even from far away, one could feel the ground trembling.
"Let us go take a look."
Li Yun’s mind stirred.
Following the direction of the sounds, he immediately rushed toward the source.
A moment later, he reached the area where the roars had come from.
He saw an enormous black bear as large as a small hill. It was repeatedly pounding its own chest, producing thunderous rumbles.
Opposite the enormous black bear stood a cyan wolf that was only a hundred meters tall.
Its eyes were extremely cold and radiated bloodthirsty light. It bared its teeth, looking as if it wanted to devour the black bear alive.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the enormous black bear roared toward the sky.
It raised its foot and stomped down fiercely toward the cyan wolf, as if intending to crush it into pieces.
Swish!
At the same time, the cyan wolf moved.
Its speed was astonishingly fast.
In an instant, it appeared directly at the black bear’s throat and bit down savagely.
