Deep within the nation of Meng Yan.

A mysterious place where black mist lingers throughout the year.

Here, within a vast desolate wasteland for millions of miles, there is a ruined black palace suspended in an incline.

The entire ruin is fragmented, but it does not collapse. It rotates slowly, seemingly attracting each other like celestial bodies.

Standing on the ruin is a tall and thin man in a white robe. In stark contrast to his white robe, his face is completely black, only revealing his silhouette.

However, he has a pair of golden eyes that shimmer and shine.

This radiance seems to pierce through time and space, seeing through life and death.

For countless years, this man has never paid attention to any outsiders entering Meng Yan, nor has he needed to concern himself with internal affairs. The people of Meng Yan manage their own matters, governed by the rules of Meng Yan itself, without requiring his attention.

But at this moment, his eyes emit an unusual gleam.

If one could see his expression on his black face, it would surely be an unprecedented concern.

This person is the ruler of Meng Yan, an existence that stands above all in the land of demons, facing various vicious and cruel demon emperors.

Although he has never fought any demon emperors, no demon emperor dares to enter Meng Yan to challenge him!

"What? Someone actually entered Meng Yan unaffected by the soul waves?" The ruler of Meng Yan's golden eyes slowly flickered. "Hmm! What!?"

He turned into a black light and disappeared.

At this time, within a vast abyss, there are several towering bronze pillars. The bronze pillars have already been molded, but there are countless intricate carvings on them. It is unknown how many years it took for numerous slave souls like Izayoi to complete them.

Among the bronze pillars, one of them is interrupted, with a ragged golden-haired girl carving there. She has a tranquil and beautiful face, and her innocent eyes seem to retain a hint of her past liveliness. Her pale little hands hold a copper chisel, tirelessly carving for countless years...

She is one of the many laborers who toil endlessly in Meng Yan, working until their souls are extinguished, a part of Izayoi's soul, to be exact.

Suddenly, the space behind the girl distorts, and a strange light emanates as a mysterious door opens.

Two angelic warriors clad in magnificent golden armor, with six-winged glowing wings on their backs and white hoods on their heads, emerged from the spatial door.

However, Izayoi doesn't care who they are or where they came from. Even if someone were to come up behind her and point a knife at her, she would not resist or dodge. She is here simply to carve the bronze pillar that can never be completed.

But these two angelic warriors immediately recognized Izayoi at a glance. Their golden swords emit a divine light.

One of the angels spoke with a cold and emotionless voice, "The Last Non-Celestial! We have finally found you!"

Hearing this strange reference, Izayoi turned around, looking at the two angels with a blank expression. Even such noble and sacred beings didn't evoke much amazement from her. If she were an ordinary soul, she might hope for salvation from the angels. But she is Izayoi, a girl from the Sea of Chaos who cannot be with her loved one. Whether it is ascending to heaven or descending to hell, what difference does it make?

The two angels exchanged glances, seeing Izayoi's lack of response, they became even more convinced of her extraordinary nature. "The Last Non-Celestial, the final heir of our clan, come with us!"

Still without answering, Izayoi seemed to find no meaning in any words except for Xu Chen's call.

The two angels respectfully saluted Izayoi and then moved forward, carrying Izayoi.

"Take her away!"

"Yes!"

The angels signaled to each other.

Just then, black light diffused behind the angels, covering half of the sky in an instant.

"Who dares to intrude upon my Meng Yan and take away my soul slave!" A mysterious and pleasant male voice sounded.

One angel guarded Izayoi while the other used their divine sword to emit a bright light, resisting the darkness.

"Evil ancient being, this soul does not belong here in the first place! We are taking her to where she is truly needed!" the angel shouted.

"I really can't see anything special about this soul! But it's surprising that an angel can directly traverse space to my kingdom. You might as well stay and let me investigate!" The black mist continued to attack the angel.

"You, the origin of primitive evil! You can't understand our mission in the highest realm! I advise you not to stop us! Otherwise--!!!" The angel's divine sword emitted a brilliant light, colliding with the darkness.

However, the dark wave from Lord Meng Yan was too strong, causing the angel to kneel down involuntarily!

"Nephalem, take Miss Non-Tian away!" The sword-wielding angel's wings fluttered wildly in the storm of darkness, constantly dispersing, indicating that the angel's divine power was running out!

However, another angel used their platinum shield to block the raging black mist while holding Izayoi's waist, and with great difficulty, they brought Izayoi into the gate of the time and space!

"Shur, hurry!" The angel who had already stepped into the gate reached out his hand to the angel outside.

"No! It's too late! You go!!!"

The black mist became more and more furious, and it seemed to entangle the hand of the angel inside the gate. In desperation, the angel swung his sword and cut off his own hand. Then, the gate of time and space closed! Nephrone and Izayoi's spirits disappeared into the darkness.

The other angel, already devastated by the darkness, was about to endure the wrath of Lord Meng Yan!

"Who are you people?! Even the Emperor of Heaven in the celestial realm doesn't have the ability to traverse directly to this place and take away my slave! And you, although very powerful, still can't resist me in Meng Yan! Why can you come over here and take away my soul!!! How dare you do that!!! Ahhhh!!!" Lord Meng Yan howled, and the entire Meng Yan was shrouded in the pervasive black mist!

At this moment, the airship carrying Xu Chen and her companions, which was advancing toward the core of Meng Yan, also felt this terrifying darkness!

"I sense it! An incredibly terrifying power! Within this power, there's anger!" Xu Chen stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the boundless darkness. "That must be Lord of Meng Yan!"

"Xu Chen! The final battle is about to begin! Be careful!" Qingyin held Xu Chen's hand and said.

"Hmm... What!?" Xu Chen suddenly felt cold sweat on her forehead. "No... Please, no..."

"What's wrong, Xu Chen?"

"The position of Star Dance sister is still very clear, but Izayoi, Izayoi's faint soul fluctuation, just disappeared all of a sudden!!!" Xu Chen said with concern!
