"It's over!" The Ghost Kings fixed their gaze on where Zhang Menglong stood.

No one expected that Ghost Emperor Feng Yan, after breaking through to a High-Grade Life Form, would be so decisively and swiftly killed in one move. No one had ever heard of such a terrifying martial art that could fuse two people into one.

From now on, there will only be one master in this world of the undead, and that is Zhang Menglong!

Zhang Menglong searched through Feng Yan's memory fragments and directly found the method to reopen the world's portal.

"Good heavens, this stuff is in Feng Yan's castle," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "I still need to make a trip there."

"Boss, Feng Yan's city is at least five days' journey from here; you can rest for a day and set off tomorrow."

"Yeah, Mr. Zhang, we're not in a rush." The other martial artists were already at ease in their hearts. Now that the Ghost Emperor had been eliminated by Zhang Menglong, they had no more worries.

"No problem, this ghostly place reeks of death, and while you all can bear it, I can't. Give me the time it takes to sing a song!" Zhang Menglong placed his hand on Wu Jita, and with an instant teleportation disappeared.

Moments later, a blue light slowly appeared in the center of Demon Eye Ghost City.

"A teleportation portal! That's a portal!"

"My god, Mr. Zhang has already reached the imperial capital? What kind of defying-the-heavens ability is this?"

"We can go home, that's awesome, I've waited for hundreds of years, finally I can return!"

...

Haotian Continent's Life Forbidden Zone is the most remote place on the entire Haotian Continent. However, next to it exists a very lively and bustling city.

Although this place is a land of death, it is home to the Haotian Continent's most precious natural treasures. Every plant that grows here can extend a martial artist's lifespan! And lifespan means enjoying power longer and pursuing a higher realm.

But so far, not many people have been able to take even a few steps into the land of death, and over time, no one dares to explore it anymore. Only a few top experts will use their last bit of life to pursue this trace of hope when their lifespan is running out.

But this world is wonderful, and every twenty years, a mysterious storm will appear in this Life Forbidden Zone, which sweeps across the entire zone. Almost every time, it sweeps out a small amount of plant leaves, stems, or fruits. If you're lucky enough to pick some up, it's like a pie falling from the sky.

Therefore, every 20 years, a group of people will gather in the Life Forbidden Zone to try their luck, and over time, a bustling city has emerged here.

This city is the only one that embraces diversity; whether humans or demon beasts, they can coexist harmoniously, and even sub-humans face no discrimination because everyone's goal is the same—those plants in the Life Forbidden Zone that contain life force!

In this place, racial conflicts do not exist, but the clashes between different forces and organizations are very frequent. These treasures that can extend life force are coveted even by the top powers, let alone the top dynasties, and even organizations like the Three Saints and Four Associations appear here.

Occasionally, even the Holy Church of Shadow shows up.

Before every storm, all forces gather and engage in competitive sparring.

Of course, calling it sparring is a bit of a misnomer, as it's essentially a way for each force to measure up against the others, serving as an unspoken form of ranking reassessment.

At this moment, two young men were sparring in a ravaged square, one of them shirtless, his body engulfed in flames of star-like heat, floating in the air, reminiscent of the mythological Sun God.

On the opposite side stood a gold-glowing man, whose surface and internal bones exuded an invincible strength.

The many onlookers were drenched in sweat from the heat emitted by the young man engulfed in flames, and even some of the weaker ones didn't dare venture near this area, yet the golden youth seemed completely at ease.

"No wonder he's the owner of the Blazing Crow Divine Body. Wu Lin, though only in the God-breaking First Realm, already possesses the strength to defeat God-breaking Peak martial artists, right?"

"Is the Divine Body a joke? Ordinary people engaging him in combat might be reduced to ashes before they even touch him with this power!"

"Envy, indeed, such power isn't something most will ever have in a lifetime."

"Isn't that the truth?"

"But the Vajra Holy Land's Vajra Divine Body isn't weak either; their bodies are practically indestructible. Look at this temperature, yet Jin Ruoyun doesn't seem to feel any discomfort!"

"Who do you think will win between those two?"

"Both possess Divine Bodies, and their realms are similar; I'd say it's unlikely we'll see a conclusion to this fight!"

...

"Wu Lin, your Blazing Crow Divine Body has reached yet another level. I heard you recently killed a Peak God-breaking martial artist?" The golden youth wore a proud expression; both possessing Divine Bodies meant neither feared the other.

"Just a minor character from the Holy Church of Shadow, foolishly attempting to steal the bloodline power of my Blazing Crow Divine Body. Such hopeless dreamers," Wu Lin said, "You didn't do too badly either; I heard they targeted you too, and you hit them 130 times, leaving nothing hard in them."

"Mutual feelings, let's have a good fight today to see if your Blazing Crow Divine Body is stronger or if my Vajra Divine Body has the edge!"

"Agreed!"

The two readied themselves to start, when with a flash of lightning, a spatial crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a figure came plummeting down from a hundred meters high.

"Whoa, holy smokes!" Zhang Menglong felt the world spinning, seemingly crashing heavily to the ground.

Earlier, he had raided Feng Yan Ghost Emperor's old place, packed up everything, and left, but hadn't expected to not return to the Sky-tearing Qing Beast's clan, instead appearing in some unknown place.

"Damn, is this thing random teleportation?" Zhang Menglong cursed as he stood up, but he was taken aback upon seeing the scores of people around him, all watching him with astonishment.

"What's going on? Another reception for me?" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "Could it be someone predicted some demon spawn's emergence and waited here for me?"

"Whoa, why's it so hot?" Zhang Menglong scanned the area, only then noticing the two young men nearby, with the intense heat emanating from one of them.

"Brother, do you have a high fever?" Zhang Menglong approached Wu Lin.

"Look, he can actually approach Wu Lin?"

"Who is he? How did he fall from the sky, and how can he withstand the heat of the Blazing Crow Divine Body?"

"His aura is only at the God-breaking First Realm, yet even a peak God-breaking would be burned alive. Could he also have a Divine Body?"

As Zhang Menglong approached Wu Lin face to face, everyone's faces displayed shock, including Wu Lin's own expression of bewilderment.

"You... you... who are you, why do you..."

"Me what," Zhang Menglong said, "With such a high fever, is it pneumonia? That's no good, better get isolated quickly, don't run around!"

"Oh, by the way, where am I? I seem to be lost..."
