How to return to Yuan Central Continent had always been an issue that preyed on Xu Zii’s mind.
This Eternal Ancient Continent lacked a place like Void Valley with its torn space that could transport him between two worlds.
It wasn’t until he ca to the Divine Demon Battlefield that Xu Zii discovered the spatial walls of this space were extrely weak.
If he could break through, he might find the way to the Yuan Central Continent.
Even if he didn’t succeed, with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of dying, at most he would encounter so trouble.
It was also fortunate that both Yuan Central Continent and Eternal Ancient Continent were small worlds, where spatial walls were not strong.
If it was a large world like Heaven Beyond Heavens, Xu Zii would really have no confidence in breaking through.
After this battle, the fall of the Divine King will probably spread throughout the entire Eternal Ancient Continent.
It will cause the whole continent to tremble for a long ti, but Xu Zii considered his journey in this world to have co to a complete end.
He might never co back again.
Arriving at the end of the Divine Demon Battlefield, Xu Zii looked up and gazed deeply at this world one last ti.
"Life is truly full of dramatic twists, like a dream, like an illusion," he mused.
Then the three unleashed their strongest powers towards the firmant.
Accompanied by three strong currents of Demonic Qi rushing to the sky, the firmant was directly punctured, leaving a huge hole.
The entire space collapsed, and within that hole chaotic spatial rifts tore open, with space storms blowing through.
"Let’s go," Xu Zii said indifferently.
Imdiately, the three of them stepped into the sky, braving the space storms as they charged toward the spatial wall.
The Demonic Qi enveloped the three together, to prevent them from being separated.
Xu Zii could feel the tearing sensation around him, and once his body entered the spatial wall, he could no longer control his body.
He could only let the space storm spin them around, floating on the edge of this desolate world.
Xu Zii was not in a hurry; while his flesh was spinning outside, he himself remained in the Divine State Continent cultivating.
Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate, Heaven-shaking Skill, his path was still a long one to walk.
In this void of space, he floated for many years, unknowable.
One year, two years, or ten years—there was no rule of ti here, and nobody could tell.
Until one day, Xu Zii felt his body spin even faster, and the space storm outside seed to beco more violent.
At the forefront, Xu Zii saw a small beam of light.
After being adrift in the boundless darkness for so long, they finally entered the light.
What followed was a dizzying sensation, as if his body was being torn apart, his head felt groggy, but Xu Zii endured and fell into a deep slumber.
After a long ti, Xu Zii felt his body as though it had fallen from a great height.
He crashed heavily onto the ground.
With a "boom", the impact jolted Xu Zii awake from his deep sleep.
"My lord, are you all right?" The Seven-faced Demon General and the White Bone Demon quickly stood up and approached Xu Zii, asking.
Xu Zii shook his head slightly, lying on the ground, he took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, I still prefer the air of this world."
Xu Zii got to his feet and looked around.
This was a plain, and at the edge of his vision, he could make out the outline of a city appearing faintly.
"It seems that we’ve really returned, just don’t know how far this place is from Void Valley," Xu Zii remarked.
"Let’s go to that city and check it out, and along the way, we can ask for directions."
The three moved with incredible speed, and in a matter of minutes, they had arrived at the distant city’s gates.
From afar, it didn’t seem much, but standing in front of the city, they could truly feel the city’s majesty and vastness.
The city walls, colored in greenish-brown, were very old, and they stretched to the end of their sight, unbroken and continuous.

Every few steps along the city wall stood a soldier.
"Chu City" was inscribed in large characters on the steel-forged gate above.
The two characters were crafted in strong, bold strokes, piercing three parts into the stone, especially the "Chu," which wielded the grandeur and commanding presence of a dragon’s serpentine movent.
There were nine cities in the Nine States Domain, and Xu Zii had visited Liang City before. If his mory served him right, Chu City was one of those nine.
This ant he was now in the Nine States Domain, not far from Void Valley.
"Let’s go inside and have a look," Xu Zii suggested.
Before entering the city, he had the White Bone Demon wrap him in a black robe.
Although he didn’t fear trouble, he preferred not to deal with unnecessary nuisances.
After all, precious ti should not be wasted on worthless matters.
As one of the nine cities, Chu City occupied almost one-ninth of the Nine States Domain.
It should have been bustling with activity by all accounts.
But once Xu Zii entered the city, he found it noticeably quieter.
Street vendors were sparse and listless in setting up their stalls.
Every once in a while, so passersby swiftly moved along the streets, unwilling to linger.
Most people stayed indoors, while armored soldiers patrolled the streets from ti to ti.
"Sothing seems to have happened here," the Seven-faced Demon General remarked nonchalantly.
"Let’s find an inn first to ascertain our current location," Xu Zii glanced at the setting sun.
He added, "And we could use a good rest—it’s been too long since we had a decent sleep while adrift."
The three casually picked an inn by the roadside.
The inn was empty of guests and even the attendants were nowhere to be seen.
"Is soone there?" Xu Zii called out.
"Who is it?" Imdiately after, a voice reached them, and an old man clad in a brown robe descended the stairs from the second floor.
"We’d like to stay at your inn," Xu Zii walked into the establishnt and stated.
"Are you new arrivals?" the old man asked with so surprise.
"Yes," Xu Zii nodded, puzzled.
"Thank you for coming to Chu City to help us resist the demons and monsters. Please take a seat," the old man brightened up.
He hurriedly added, "I’m the shopkeeper of this inn. Whatever you brave warriors wish to eat will be on the house."
"Resisting demons and monsters?" Xu Zii frowned slightly.
He smiled and explained, "Old sir, you may be mistaken. We’ve co here unintentionally and are unaware of the matters concerning demons and monsters."
"Is that so," the old man’s spirits visibly dropped upon hearing this.
"May I ask if this is Chu City of the Nine States Domain?" Xu Zii continued to inquire.
"It is Chu City. If you’re not here to slay demons and monsters, I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you at this inn," the old man said, troubled.
"Currently, the inns within the city are reserved for warriors. If that’s not your intention, it would be best to leave before nightfall."
Just then, a group of people entered the inn from outside.
"Shopkeeper, prepare the best wine and at for . Tonight I shall go to battle, and whether I’ll return is uncertain. If I die, at least I’ll die with a full stomach," a rough voice announced.
Several burly n entered the inn.
Beyond these robust n, a few others followed into the inn one after another.
There were three young n and won in scholar’s attire, a woman with a cold deanor, and a carefree young master with a wine gourd at his side.
