After being ambushed by two old men, Yang Che became even more cautious.

He suddenly had a thought: since someone could ambush him here, would there also be someone setting up an ambush in Dark Demon Valley?

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Che's eyes became even more solemn, and the speed at which he rushed towards Dark Demon Valley suddenly increased significantly.

At the same time, he faintly felt a strange sense of mania growing within him after killing the two Early Golden Core Stage old men.

This mania was getting stronger and stronger, seeming to make it difficult for him to control.

"It's the side effect of heaven soul wine!"

Yang Che quickly figured out the reason, and a slight sense of urgency arose in his heart.

After flying for about another half an hour, Yang Che finally arrived at a massive dark green canyon.

Here, green and black rocks crisscrossed everywhere.

The Cold Wind blowing from inside the valley faintly carried corrosive power, and one could easily be invaded by this Cold Wind if not careful.

Looking into the valley entrance, a strange black mist was steaming and churning, seemingly following some pattern, sometimes thick and sometimes thin.

Yang Che observed carefully for a moment and saw that the entrance to Dark Demon Valley was set with a strange Formation Restriction.

If he were to rashly break in, he would very likely be directly swallowed by the black mist.

Yang Che's expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed a deep look of contemplation.

Soon, he raised a hand and unleashed a strange golden rune that disappeared into the black mist.

A roar like that of a Yao Beast immediately came from within the black mist, which then churned violently, instantly transforming into the image of a great demon that lunged at Yang Che.

Yang Che sneered, a strange, frenzied look appearing in his eyes. He neither dodged nor avoided. The moment the black mist great demon grabbed at him, the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art immediately began to circulate. At the same time, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and the black mist was quickly absorbed into Yang Che's body.

The black mist great demon seemed somewhat bewildered by Yang Che's methods.

In its moment of hesitation, more than half of its body was completely devoured by Yang Che.

The remaining half, which he hadn't had time to devour, was also incinerated into nothingness by the sudden appearance of a bone-white flame.

Yang Che licked his somewhat dry lips before stepping into Dark Demon Valley.

He released his Divine Sense at full power, trying to carefully sense the location of Senior Sister Shentu Yun.

However, unfortunately, Senior Sister Shentu Yun's speed of advance seemed to exceed his expectations. After a brief deliberation, Yang Che quickly proceeded deeper into the valley.

This Dark Demon Valley had a powerful flight-prohibiting Restriction, making it impossible to fly in the air. Yang Che used Wind Severing Shadow, coupled with the 'Swiftness' Divine Ability of the pseudo-Ancient Treasure Flash Cloud Boots, transforming himself into a flowing cloud as he moved through the valley.

One day later.

Yang Che had no choice but to stop in front of a suddenly appearing Restriction.

This seemed to be the only way to continue forward.

To proceed, he had to pass through this strange Restriction in front of him.

At this moment, his Divine Sense finally vaguely sensed the fluctuations of Cultivator combat ahead.

With this, Yang Che no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the Restriction.

A flash of white light appeared before him, and suddenly two passages emerged.

One passage was incredibly hot, while the other was extremely cold.

They were indeed two different passages, like ice and fire.

For a moment, Yang Che couldn't decide which passage to take.

With a flicker in his eyes, Yang Che carefully tried to sense which passage the combat aura was emanating from.

Soon, he moved and stepped into the incredibly hot passage.

After walking through a hundred-zhang-long path of scorching rock, Yang Che saw a desert appear before him.

The sand in this desert was black.

And it was black with hints of red, clearly indicating that the sand was also incredibly hot.

Yang Che's Physical Body was originally incredibly tough, already comparable to a Magic Treasure.

Furthermore, after being tempered by lightning on Jie Tian Peak in the Purple Heaven Secret Realm, it had gained a tremendous improvement.

So, despite the unbearable heat, Yang Che disregarded it and stepped onto the sand, rushing with extraordinary speed towards the place where the combat aura was growing stronger.

Gradually, the black sand beneath his feet began to flow strangely, quickly forming a sandstorm that drastically slowed Yang Che's speed.

Yang Che, who had been diligently moving forward, always maintained his Divine Sense probing. At this moment, he suddenly stopped, then rapidly retreated.

Soon, a massive black shadow slowly emerged from the increasingly large sandstorm.

This black shadow was composed of countless fiery red skulls.

Flames were spewing from the eye sockets and mouths of every small skull, forming an incredibly tall 'Flame Skeleton'.

Not only that, Yang Che soon discovered that there seemed to be something moving within the skull's eye sockets and mouth.

Upon closer inspection, his scalp tingled.

It turned out to be countless densely packed 'red ants' crawling in and out.

They seemed completely unafraid of the scorching flames.

As the tall Flame Skeleton drew closer, Yang Che saw the red ants clearly and was immediately shocked, recalling the Controlling Beasts Scripture he had once obtained.

He retreated further, and at the same time, with a movement of his palm, the Controlling Beasts Scripture, enhanced with a layer of ice frost, appeared in his hand.

On the appendix of this Controlling Beasts Scripture, there was a 'List of Strange Birds, Strange Beasts, and Strange Insects', which listed many unique insects and exotic beasts in this world.

Carefully comparing the descriptions, Yang Che was quickly surprised to find that these fire-resistant red ants were actually the 'Crystal Fire Ant', ranked fifty-ninth on this list.

Crystal Fire Ant: entirely crimson, with a translucent head like red crystal.

Its mouthparts can cut through metal and shatter stone, its body is exceptionally hard, it has wings and can fly, and it is unafraid of water and fire.

It likes to feed on Advanced corpses and flames.

Putting away the Controlling Beasts Scripture, Yang Che's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Although these Crystal Fire Ants were ranked higher than the Winged Fire Dragonfly on the 'List of Strange Birds, Strange Beasts, and Strange Insects', Yang Che had more confidence in his own Winged Fire Dragonfly.

His Winged Fire Dragonfly had grown by constantly devouring nine-leaf dark yang fruit, and after several mutual devours, it had Advanced to an extremely powerful stage.

Thinking of this, Yang Che's mind stirred. The moment the Flame Skeleton lunged at him, he released his Winged Fire Dragonfly.

After giving the command to devour these Crystal Fire Ants, the Winged Fire Dragonfly immediately let out an excited and frenzied buzzing, and soon covered the tall 'Flame Skeleton' in front of it.

The appearance of the Winged Fire Dragonfly also drove the Crystal Fire Ants into a frenzy.

The two great strange insects immediately began to devour each other.

The extremely grating rustling sound made Yang Che's scalp tingle repeatedly, but his gaze was also filled with excitement and madness.

The Flame Skeleton quickly shattered, and countless small skulls rolled onto the sand.

A larger number of Crystal Fire Ants quickly formed several red torrents, surging towards Yang Che along the black sand.

Seeing this, Yang Che's eyes immediately narrowed. He realized that these 'Crystal Fire Ants' in front of him were likely being deliberately manipulated by a Cultivator hidden in the dark.

This discovery immediately made Yang Che highly vigilant.

Since the Winged Fire Dragonfly had been exposed, he had to kill this Cultivator hidden in the dark here, no matter what.

Otherwise, if he left this place, he would have endless trouble.

Thinking of this, an almost uncontrollable 'frenzy' surged through his entire body.

"Get out!"

Yang Che roared, and a small black world instantly appeared around him. He resembled a demon god, exuding monstrous killing intent.
