The bronze chariot whistled past Shi Feng and Huo Yu, continuing its journey southward. Along the way, exclamations of shock and surprise erupted.

"Look! That bronze chariot! It's the emblem of the Jiangg Family!"

"The Four Symbols Divine Beasts, it's the chariot of Jiangg Ning, the Jiangg Family's Divine Refiner!"

"Jiangg Ning! My goddess, Jiangg Ning!"

"Divine Refinement Master! Jiangg Ning of the Jiangg Family!"

Immediately, several figures began to chase after the speeding bronze chariot.

"Jiangg Family! Jiangg Ning! Hehehe!" Suddenly, Shi Feng heard a sinister, hoarse voice coming from behind him. For some reason, the sound made Shi Feng feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Shi Feng slowly turned his head, and immediately saw a disordered old man with grayish-white hair standing not far behind him.

The old man wore a black robe, burying half his old face deeply within the robe. Shi Feng could only see the upper part of his face from the nose up, but even from that, it was clear that his wrinkled face was gaunt and thin like a stick.

Yet, Shi Feng couldn't discern the martial arts cultivation of this person. In Shi Feng's perception, this old man seemed no different from an ordinary person.

Because of this, the old man made Shi Feng feel immensely strange and eerie.

At that moment, the old man seemed to sense Shi Feng looking at him, his eyes slowly rotating as he gazed directly at Shi Feng, their eyes locking.

"Hehehe!" Instantly, the old man let out an eerie, hoarse laugh at Shi Feng. As Shi Feng watched, the man's figure rapidly faded, becoming incredibly thin in an instant, eventually blending into the air.

Even with his current demigod-level soul power, Shi Feng couldn't sense the presence of the old man at all, as if he had vanished entirely from the world.

"This old man is definitely extraordinary!" At this point, Huo Yu, beside Shi Feng, suddenly spoke, addressing Shi Feng.

Just moments ago, like Shi Feng, Huo Yu had also turned around to look at the old man.

Upon hearing Huo Yu, Shi Feng nodded, saying, "Additionally, this old man feels very strange and uncomfortable. I have no idea of his background."

"In my opinion, such an eerie person must come from that gathering place of villains, the Sinister Abyss," Huo Yu said. Then, as if struck by a thought, he looked at Shi Feng in amazement and said:

"Oh, right, boss, you come from the Sinister Abyss yourself. If even you don't recognize him, then maybe..."

"When did I ever say I come from the Sinister Abyss?" Shi Feng interrupted Huo Yu before he finished, adding, "I've never set foot in the Sinister Abyss."

From beginning to end, it seemed he truly never told Huo Yu he came from the Sinister Abyss. Everything was merely Huo Yu's own guesswork.

Hearing Shi Feng's words, Huo Yu was taken aback, saying, "You're not from the Sinister Abyss?"

"No!" Shi Feng replied.

"Oh, is that so?"

As they conversed, Shi Feng and Huo Yu quickly exited the southern gate of the Sand Wasteland Ancient City, coming into view of a golden desert, sparkling with dazzling golden light.

They immediately flashed simultaneously, moving into the even hotter, scorching Heavenly Tower Desert.

"So, boss, where exactly do you come from? What's the purpose of this journey to the Sinister Abyss? Remember, once you enter the Sinister Abyss, you'll lose your freedom for life."

As their figures zipped through the Heavenly Tower Desert, Huo Yu voiced his inquiry again.

About his origins, Shi Feng had nothing to hide and straightforwardly said, "I come from another continent called the Tianheng Continent.

Several months ago, I fought someone on the Tianheng Continent, and the space shattered. I accidentally got sucked into a dark void, lost within the dark space. When I broke through the space again, I ended up in your Wilderness Continent.

Since then, I've been searching for a way back, and later I found in an ancient journal that someone had entered my homeland, the Tianheng Continent, from the Sinister Abyss many years ago."

"Tianheng Continent?" Hearing Shi Feng's words, hearing the unfamiliar name "Tianheng Continent," Huo Yu was startled again and continued:

"I never imagined it would be true! I've heard people say before that besides our Wilderness Continent, other continents must exist! And those other continents' powerful beings and cultivation resources are something our Wilderness Continent can't compare to!

With your extraordinary talent, boss, and so many mysterious treasures and techniques, I assume your birthplace is such a continent."

"No, the continent I'm from is exactly the opposite of what you just said!" Shi Feng said, "In our Tianheng Continent, the highest realm reached is the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm. Demigods and True Gods only appear in ancient legends, which have long been muddled."

On the Tianheng Continent, the Emperor Nine Nether was once the strongest. If Shi Feng returns to Tianheng Continent now, he could annihilate everything in an instant.

Talking to Huo Yu about these things, Shi Feng's mind once again recalled the Tianheng Continent, silently saying in his heart, "Once I return this time, all grudges and feuds can be settled once and for all!"

As Shi Feng and Huo Yu ventured deeper into the Heavenly Tower Desert, the surroundings became increasingly scorching, with waves of fiery heat surging toward them.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Ow! Ooo!" From all directions, ferocious beast howls of rage echoed around them.

In such scorching realms, the demeanor of fierce beasts was equally agitated.

Suddenly, a surging sea of fire rolled toward Shi Feng and Huo Yu from the front.

A massive fiery fierce beast had detected Shi Feng and Huo Yu's presence and launched an attack on them.

However, faced with the surging sea of fire, Shi Feng and Huo Yu remained unfazed. The attacker was merely an eight-star emperor-level barbaric demon, a beast that couldn't harm them even if they stood still.

"Appear!" At this moment, Shi Feng gave a low shout, and a massive blood-red light suddenly flared in front of him and Huo Yu.

"Oww! Oww! Oww! Oww!" A torrent of bellowing, far more savage than that of the other fierce beasts, resounded from the front of Shi Feng and Huo Yu.

It was Shi Feng who had summoned the Four-headed Giant Snake from the Blood Stone Stele's space, with its four enormous serpentine mouths gleaming with ferocious, sharp fangs, roaring with a beast-like ferocity.

Instantly, the yellow snake opened its mouth, spewing a sandstorm forward, engulfing the advancing fire sea, as if the sandstorm itself was igniting fiercely.

In the next moment, the fiery storm swept over the enormous barbaric demon, causing it to suffer its own flames' burning and, under the sandstorm's might, turning it to ashes!
