The volcano has been simmering as long with white wisps rising from the top like the fumes of a smoker. The sides are much like any other mountain, except for the red-hot lava that was flowing down the side.
"To think it would be sealed here..." Muttered the Demon Monarch Alba.
"My lord... All of the cannons are ready to be fired."Said an evil soul master who was kneeling behind Alba.
Their eyes were shining with excitement to the amusement of Alba but he didn't comment.
"Good, tell them to fire now-"
Alba felt his spiritual sense fluctuate before he glanced up to see a piercing streak of golden light in the sky.
Like a pillar of light, it smashed down in front of him and the other evil soul masters, giving off a resplendent light.
Before it began to fade away, allowing Alba to see two familiar figures that he didn't think he would see again.
"Well, well. My little seed, did you miss me that much?"Questioned Alba as he narrowed his eyes.
"Shut up." Said Yuanen Yehui with a frown as she stared at someone she didn't she would see ever again.
They were shocked when they found out about what has been going on for the past nine months.
If it wasn't for Xie Xie trying to contact Tang Wulin and the others, they wouldn't know about it.
'And they might have succeeded in waking up that creature.' Thought Yuanen Yehui as she glanced at the cannons that were behind Alba.
She then glances at Xie Xie who instantly grasps what she wanted to do, destroying those cannons first.
Their glances didn't pass by Alba who began chuckling before he began speaking.
"Lay off firing the cannons for now. The time for me to have some fun has come and I don't need them getting distracted."
"But my lord-"
The Evil Soul Master's eyes widened as they felt his body split in half from Alba's hands that were glowing with a sinister light.
Alba didn't even glance back or say any words but the others were able to instantly understand.
Disobedience meant death!
Their expression began turning grim, but they could only follow the words of Alba, knowing even with all of them.
They couldn't even come close to taking down this Demon Monarch whose power was at the peak.
"Good, now. I expect a fight where you guys aren't distracted."Said Alba with a vicious grin.
"Why does he kinda remind me of Wulin." Muttered Xie Xie but he still summoned his martial soul.
"We need to kill him before we can deal with those cannons." Said Yuanen Yehui as her whole figure began to shine with a purple-gold light.

A fierce gale swept through the icy land.
"Aww~ I didn't think I would have a welcome party to greet me. Did you come here to accept my love?"Questioned Gremory with a smile as she stares at the duo in front of her.
"Ugh! What do you even mean by that?"Questioned Mu Xi with a frown as she felt a shiver from Gremory words.
"Uh... Elder sis, I think she is..."
"Alluring? Lovable? Sensual? I know my dear; I get that a lot."
"Irritating." Finished Xu Xiaoyan causing Gremory to tilt her head.
"I get that a lot as well." Said Gremory with a chuckle before she begins tapping her finger on her chin.
"Well now, I think it's about time I save you guys. You all will be the first of many to be engulfed with my love."
"... We got the insane one."
"Pretty sure they are all insane." Muttered Mu Xi as she summoned her martial soul while bringing out her rusted sword.

Countless undulating hills were spread out in the Desert Longinus. The wind stirs up the wispy sand and the sun's never-ending rays beat down on all things.
"How did you all find out or know where I was going?" Quested Ming as he stared at the three people in front of him.
"Don't worry about that, just do us a favor and give me your head." Said Yue Zhengyu with a charming smile.
"You know he won't do that, you idiot." Muttered Dai Yun'er as he held her head causing Yue Zhengyu to chuckle.
Wu Siduo didn't say anything as she summoned her white tiger martial soul causing Yue Zhengyu to arch a brow.
"Well aren't you in a rush... But I guess we should."
Twelve wings expanded from Yue Zhengyu alongside a golden sword that appeared in his hands.
"Alright demon, it's about time we send you on your way."

Towering cherry blossoms stood, with some of the leaves falling and swaying in the wind.
"Isn't this a bit too sudden? Just when the hard part of my job was done."Muttered Xeno as his lips began to twitch.
As he saw, Ye Xinglan, Liu Yuxin, and Xu Lizhi had their martial soul and battle armor on in front of him.
'Strong... Weaker than that dragon and ape but about as strong as that Qilin.' Thought Xeno with a sigh.
His job was reasonably simple, just move in front of Everglade Mountain with the cannons.
Then devastate it from afar, as apparently nothing above a Soul Rank 50 can enter the mountain.
Even they tried entering once but found they would be sent back out with a terrifying feeling.
Xeno believed this was because of the god creature that is sleeping inside of the mountain.
Either this was intentional, or it was just a side-effect of the god creature slumbering that caused such changes to the mountain.
"Men when you get a chance, fire at the mountain. I will deal with these annoyances."

"Hm? Some people are approaching?" Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes as she was staring at the battle below.
Seeing Tang Wulin decimating the demons hoard below had her smiling at how strong he had gotten.
'Even though we have regained our power, you still refuse to be surpassed.'
Naturally, she didn't mind this, as it just means her love was utterly amazing and making it easier for her.
As with his and Na'er's help, the burden on her was getting lower over the years.
'After this, I should go check on Tenrou City. He said it wouldn't be long before things start to change... But first, let's deal with the annoyances.'
Gu Yuena swiftly reinforced the barrier before her figure vanished with a flash of silver light.
Before reappearing above a ship that was making its way to the Demon Continent.
Without any words, she held out her hand before fire and water appeared in her hand that began to mix.
They were swirling and clashing, two opposites that shouldn't be together but were being perfectly fused.
Gu Yuena launched the fused elements downwards towards the ship that was still moving under her.
Yet before the ball of fire and water could smash into the ship, darkness and dark crimson flames appeared before it.
Crashing into each other and creating a mini-explosion with wisps of the elements scattering down on the ship.
Alongside the ship having cracks on its body and some of the wisp wrecking the ship.
"I didn't think anyone would be here to stop us... Someone so strong. Not only that but a pretty one."Said an Evil Soul Master as she appeared above, a few meters away from Gu Yuena.
She had large eyes that looked sweet and pure, while her hair was tied up in two buns. She was dressed in a short top and a short skirt that revealed her arms and legs with fair complexions.
She wasn't the only one as another woman with a man who had also appeared. The woman looked similar to Leng Yaozhu, something that Gu Yuena took note of but her aura was darker, as well as her hair.
The man had a huge green skull surrounding his body with a hideous face and his eyes flickering with a green radiance. He was just a skinny, tiny figure but Gu Yuena could tell this was the Ghost Emperor.
Not only that but she could sense other figures down in the ship causing her to instantly understand their purpose.
'Retrieval huh? Regardless, let's hurry with you all.'
A staff appeared in her right hand, just when the woman with two buns was about to open her mouth.
"Die."
Gu Yuena swung her staff in an arc causing immense flames to abruptly erupted in front of her, instantly forming a sea of fire.
The shimmering sea of flames chopped down on the three Evil Soul Masters like the wings of a bird as it descends.
"No patience I see."
Horrifying shrieks were heard as the surroundings began to change to something of a haunted zone.
Gigantic skulls appeared in front of the three evil soul masters before spewing out streams of green flames towards the descending flames.
In the next instant, they crashed before bursting against each other, clashing and colliding they tried to dominate the other.
Yet Gu Yuena has shown no worries as she instantly appeared in front of them with a ball of fire, wind, earth, and water mixing.
But the Ghost Emperor was already moving back by the time she appeared in front of him.
As his spiritual sense and danger intuition had already warned him of incoming danger. But to his surprise, he saw Gu Yuena's hands thrust out towards the Darkness bell instead of him.
This surprised Darkness Bell as she and everyone thought Gu Yuena was going after Ghost Emperor.
Even though she tried raising her defense, it was too late, the mixture of elements crashed into Darkness Bell before exploding outwards.
The blast of the explosion stirred up a fierce gale while slightly pushing back the Dark Phoenix Douluo and Ghost Emperor.
Yet Gu Yuena wasn't done as her eyes glowed with silvery light, instantly freezing the people around her, including Darkness Bell.
As her body was flying back but was stopped.
Gu Yuena swayed her hands, the seven elements began to appear, dancing and flowing before they began to fuse.
Instantly, it was as though the area had changed, turning into nine-colors as nine dragons that were crackling with lightning appeared.
"One down."
Just as Gu Yuena said those words, all of the dragons focused their attacks on a single opponent, that being Darkness Bell whose eyes showed fear.
Yet no matter how much she tried to resist or free herself of Gu Yuena's control, to her horror, she found it was impossible.
She was helpless as the mythical dragon's head reached her and chomped down on each of her body parts.
For a moment, it seemed as though the entire sky was filled with nine-colors lightning bolts. Every inch of the surrounding area seemed to be filled and surging with bolts of lightning with the sounds of someone screaming.
This went on for a while before Darkness Bell figure could be seen, she was panting with her whole body being extremely injured.
But Gu Yuena wasn't done as above, a gigantic silver dragon appeared with its figure giving off a silver glow.
Before it opened its mouth and spewed endless silver flames that raced to engulf Darkness Bell. But it was then that Ghost Emperor appeared with another gigantic skull.
That began to spew green-colored flames that raged, burning viciously towards the silver flames before clashing.
Yet Gu Yuena has shown no hint of worry as she only glanced at him with disdain before the skies began to rumble.
Lightning rumbled, resounding through the clouds that seem to have darkened above to the shock of people below it.
"You survive the first bout, let's see if you can survive the next."
Crackles of seven-colored lightning were flashing through the sky; the power of destruction could be felt from it.
The lightning was seven colors when it gathered, swirling together before they got ready to descend.
Before then the Lightning hacked down from the sky, incredibly frightening. Two bolts moved towards Ghost Emperor and Dark Phoenix Douluo who swiftly began to defend themselves.
It was just the beginning, yet these bolts were too terrifying, piercing through space and appearing in front of both of them.
Before it began blasting everything apart with thunderous noise ranging out as both of them were defending against the lightning.
However, while they were doing this, there was no one there to cover the Darkness Bell who was staring hopelessly at the swirling lightning above her.
In the next instant, a sea of lightning began to come down; it was simply too ferocious and terrifying!
If before the seven-colored lightning that she was hit by was terrifying and was like the tribulations of heaven. Then the current sea of lightning that was rushing down to her was like the God of Judgment coming down to execute her.
The lightning was even more vicious than before, as it began to submerge and engulf her body, drowning out her bloodcurdling scream.
It began to channel arcs of lightning from all directions, surging through the sky with seven-colored lights.
The figure of Darkness Bell began to fade in the seven-colors before a large explosion rang out that stirred up an even fiercer gale.
It was only after a bit that everything returned to normal, with Ghost Emperor and Dark Phoenix Douluo being able to see what happened.
And what they saw made them suck in a cold breath, as they saw in the place of Darkness Bell. Was simply blast ashes that were fading and being scattered by the wind.
Before they overheard the voice of Gu Yuena that rang out.
"Two more to go."
