Chapter 1590: Second Temple

I'm unsure about the exact number of ancient clans that have migrated into this illusory realm, known as the Second Divine Temple, but it's so vast it could almost be considered a small, independent world. Here, we will encounter numerous difficulties and even more formidable opponents. A true fierce battle awaits your beast army, poised to erupt. Are you truly prepared?"

Mist Goddess directed this question towards Xu Yang in front of hundreds of thousands of demon creatures. As the undisputed leader of this force, Xu Yang was naturally ready for anything. With a calm smile on his face, Xu Yang finally spoke, "We are always ready."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of demon creatures below erupted in frantic shouts. The sound waves vibrated through the entire illusory space, creating a roaring echo.

It was an unprecedented spectacle of grandeur. At this very moment, Mist Goddess also sent a soul transmission. Then, more than a hundred beautiful female cultivators acted in unison. A powerful formation was etched into the void, displaying the brilliant runic marks of the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods' legacy, unique to Mist Goddess. This served as the teleportation array for the joint transfer of hundreds of thousands of demon troops.

Situated on the ground where the army had gathered, brilliant sword light enveloped Xu Yang's army, encompassing everyone, including Xu Yang himself.

The moment the formation activated, the teleportation gate finally opened, and everyone instantly vanished from the Mist Illusory Realm.

"Old Ancestor! Lord Xu Yang, I hope you arrive safely at the Peak of Kunlun." Lan'er's gaze remained fixed on the spot where Xu Yang's figure had disappeared.

Little did she know, although her interaction with Xu Yang had been brief, the moment her cultivation reached completion and ten halos enveloped her simultaneously, she finally understood that her ultimate victory was, in fact, due to Xu Yang's hidden assistance.

It was also at that moment that the young girl finally realized the handsome young man she had foolishly fought hundreds of rounds with was actually a top-tier, legendary powerhouse capable of world-shattering destruction at will. Only upon reaching her current level could she truly grasp how insurmountable a figure Xu Yang was.

Yet, little did she know, deep within her heart, the place reserved solely for Xu Yang had already been deeply etched into her very being, unforgettable for this lifetime.

Upon regaining his senses, Xu Yang had already led his army into this vast new world, home to the City of the Second Divine Temple. This place was also the illusory realm closest to the Peak of Kunlun.

At this moment, Long Kun and the others, standing proudly on the cloud peak, were utterly dumbfounded. They had just discovered that their army, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, occupied merely the space of a slightly larger cloud within the illusory realm of the Second Divine Temple.

One can imagine how boundless the sky and ocean within this illusion were, far surpassing any other illusory realm found in Kunlun.

Just as Mist Goddess had said, the Second Divine Temple was almost an entirely independent small world. It fostered diverse civilizations existing independently of Kunlun.

Below the clouds stretched a vast, endless ocean. Every ten thousand li or so, a colossal, completely petrified ancient statue could be seen on the ocean's surface.

These statues actually represented the totems of the Eighteen Guardian Old Gods. Xu Yang controlled this enormous cloud, carrying hundreds of thousands of elite beast warriors under his command. They continuously advanced towards one end of the ocean, and gradually, they had already spotted the outlines of over a dozen ancient old gods.

Among them, they naturally found the totems of Little Princess Chihuo and Taikun Bone Venerable. However, Mist Goddess's own totem was not seen as the team had already reached the edge of this endless ocean.

"Hahaha, excellent! Boss, we're finally about to reach shore," Long Kun exclaimed. "I really can't wait to experience what powerful legacy and strength this exclusive illusory realm of the so-called Second Divine Temple holds."

Mist Goddess chuckled, seeing Long Kun scampering around like a monkey.

"You rascal! I advise you, do not act rashly in this place! You will certainly encounter power levels that will humble you. Furthermore, there are rumors that the strongest ruler of this Second Divine Temple illusory realm has entered the Boundless Grand Realm, meaning they have become the most powerful cultivator, possessing an immeasurable realm of power, on par with the Human Spirit Six Meridian Grand Elder Living Fossil."

It's important to know that within the Kunlun Divine Path system, those who reach the so-called Boundless Grand Realm are all earth-shattering, supreme figures. They are qualified to directly meet the will of the Supreme God.

If what Mist Goddess said was true, then Xu Yang's team would encounter experts on the level of Grand Elder Living Fossils in the Second Divine Temple earlier than expected. While others reacted with fear to this news, for Xu Yang, Long Kun, and the others, meeting top-tier experts of the Boundless Grand Realm and witnessing their prowess would definitely be a joyous occasion.

"Listen, youngsters," Xu Yang added, "now that you've entered a brand new realm, the first thing you must do is maintain a low profile. Do not harbor unrealistic fantasies about any lineage of power in this world. You will soon truly comprehend the strength of the civilization within this Second Divine Temple."

After Xu Yang said this, he immediately began searching for a suitable landing area within the ocean's boundary region below for his hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops. He quickly located a relatively spacious valley area, just large enough to accommodate his team of that size for a safe landing.

However, just as Xu Yang issued the command and led the hundreds of thousands of demon beast legions in a slow descent, an endless barrage of powerful arrows and crossbow bolts shot forth from the depths of the surrounding jungle. Along the way, thousands of demon beast warriors were struck and fell from these projectiles.

"Holy crap, no way! There are still so many archers hidden below?" Long Kun was dumbfounded on the spot. Before this, neither he, Xiao Hua, nor the Four Great Demon Saints behind them had detected any life force fluctuations in the jungle below.

Without life force fluctuations, it naturally meant there were no risks for them to be wary of. However, this sudden wave of ambush completely disrupted their assumptions.

Xu Yang did not personally intervene. In his view, a counterattack of this intensity was simply not worth mentioning. What truly interested him was what kind of civilization these attackers below belonged to.

"I'll go down and take a look first. You all find a place to land safely as quickly as possible." After Xu Yang said this, he immediately stomped his foot with force, swiftly descending towards the vast jungle below, bringing along Little Grey on his shoulder and Mist Goddess in his mind.

His figure streaked through the air like a celestial fire meteor, drawing the attention of tens of thousands of hidden archers below. "Who is that guy?" they wondered. "His aura is so powerful!"
