"Why is the Erosion Sun Swamp so quiet?"

Amidst the harsh winds, a figure darted through the clouds like a long rainbow.

Hundreds of miles away.

Chu Lin, the Sea Surfing King, sent out a communication order to inquire about the situation in the Great Marsh, but received no response.

This was quite strange.

During the usual Solar Eclipse abnormality, the Great Marsh was quiet, but this time it was excessively silent... None of his demon spirits responded, as if they had all perished.

With a thump.

A feeling of unease arose in the Heart Lake of the Sea Surfing King.

"Could it be that I’m late?"

Before the Sun Eater Venerable had gone into seclusion, he had already set up a plan, urgently meeting with the Fire Master in order to make it in time for this desperate rescue.

He was prepared to risk his life.

Now, it had only been three days.

Logically, Xie Xuanyi should have been able to hold out for three days!

"Damn it."

Chu Lin gritted his teeth and quickly increased his Tunneling Light speed.

His greatest fear was this situation—despite returning as fast as he could, Xie Xuanyi was still refined by the Sun Eater Venerable...

Two hundred miles, one hundred and fifty miles.

When he was a hundred miles from the Erosion Sun Swamp, Chu Lin realized something was wrong.

"The Solar Eclipse abnormality has ended?"

He raised an eyebrow.

The Sun Eater Venerable’s seclusion required absorbing the primordial energy of the entire Great Marsh to refine the Great Erosion Pill.

This kind of abnormal disturbance should have been noticeable for a hundred miles around.

However...

The direction of the Great Marsh was completely silent, and the brilliant sun hung high, untouched by erosion. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Wait!"

Chu Lin’s pupils contracted as he caught a strand of unfamiliar Great Dao aura in the void.

"There are strong Yang God practitioners fighting in the Great Marsh!"

"And... there is more than one!"

The Sea Surfing King was stunned for a moment.

While he hesitated, a thunderous sound erupted in the void.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The flowing clouds at the Heavenly Peak were shattered by the thunder, and a blood-red Tunneling Light swept over from the direction of the Great Marsh, glaring like a flowing fire, and within it was an enormous, shape-shifting dog.

"???"

The Sea Surfing King was dumbfounded.

He had never seen this great dog, but he felt a very familiar aura of Taoist Intent emanating from it.

This aura was...

Sun Erosion?!

"Fellow Daoist Lin! You came at the right time!"

The Sun Eater Venerable no longer cared about saving face.

He shouted angrily for help with his Lifebound Demon Body, "Quickly come to aid me! Help me hold them off!"

Behind him.

Two streams of light were pursuing.

These two pursuers were extremely young.

One of them was very familiar to the Sea Surfing King... exactly the Xie Xuanyi he was willing to risk his life to rescue!

"What’s going on!"

The Sea Surfing King was utterly shocked.

What had happened in the Erosion Sun Swamp while he was away?

If the intelligence was correct.

Three days ago.

Xie Xuanyi should have just been a Yin God.

He had only gone to the edge of the Li Kingdom to exchange intelligence with the Fire Master, and now this guy was pursuing the Sun Eater Venerable... the Sun Eater Venerable was a Great Cultivator of the Yang God Eighth Layer Heaven!

The scene was simply too impactful, too shocking.

"Kill!"

Xie Xuanyi and Cui Zhen were doing their utmost to slay the Sun Erosion, their expressions were extremely complex.

Just half a stick of incense ago.

The Sun Eater Venerable revealed a massive dharma body, spitting flames and angrily accusing them of bullying.

By then, Xie Xuanyi was prepared to gamble his life. He and Cui Zhen were both marshaling their divine skills, ready for a life-and-death battle with the Sun Eater Venerable!

But unexpectedly.

The Great Demon showing its Lifebound True Body only spat harsh words and fled without regard for the dignity of an Eighth Heaven Great Cultivator. During this half-stick of incense time, Xie Xuanyi and Cui Zhen tried everything to block the void, but failed... The Sun Erosion’s purpose in revealing its dharma body was only one: to escape! The creature’s dharma body was too large, the "Gathering" couldn’t imprison it!

In this situation, Xie Xuanyi and Cui Zhen were entirely helpless.

This method was embarrassing.

But it was extremely effective...

The Sun Erosion also sensed Cui Zhen’s abnormal state; as long as there are green hills, there’s no worry about firewood. If he could escape this disaster and reorganize, then come another round, victory and defeat would have to be redefined.

"Someone’s coming!"

Cui Zhen gritted his teeth, his expression ugly.

The last thing he wanted to see was this scenario.

The reason he revealed himself in the Erosion Sun Swamp ahead of time, setting up this game, was to ensure "infallibility."

During the Solar Eclipse abnormality, all Yang Gods in the Great Marsh avoided its edge, Silver Moon, and Chu Lin would leave; this was a death struggle that needed betting one’s life to have a chance at victory. Any slight slip could lead to complete failure.

Now that the Yang God people of the Erosion Sun Swamp had appeared.

Does this mean... this assassination has already failed?

Cui Zhen’s expression flickered as he hesitated whether to activate the "Longevity Lamp," to prematurely "Reverse Yin Yang" and withdraw from the Yang God Realm, taking advantage of the Sun Eater Venerable’s retreat to terminate the assault early. Thus, with the assassination failed, his Harmonization would also be announced a failure, and the entire Demon Country would know the "Mo Zhen" had been reborn.

Perhaps he would completely lose the opportunity to settle the score with Sun Erosion.

"Continue."

Just as Cui Zhen’s heart wavered.

Xie Xuanyi coldly uttered two words, still advancing with sword control, the Sword Qi sweeping large and wide without any intent to pause.

"Continue?"

Cui Zhen looked towards Xie Xuanyi.

The latter was expressionless, forming a seal to lead the sword, releasing all the Sword Qi from the Sword Qi Cave Heaven.

For no reason.

Cui Zhen chose to believe, took a deep breath, and continued to urge the Yin Yang Dao Intent, attempting to block Sun Erosion’s escape route with "Nether Feather" divine skill.

And this time.

Upon seeing Chu Lin appear.

Sun Erosion stopped retreating.
