To successfully expel Spirit Wandering, this individual’s status within the Transcendent Alliance must be paramount, Liang mused to himself.
However, his inability to detect the entity’s presence filled him with unease. If only he still possessed his void sense...
"Then I suppose I am indebted to you," Liang chuckled sardonically.
"Indebted?" A solitary laugh echoed through the air, the voice gradually fading away.
"Curious. Unlike Spirit Wandering, who sought to possess Red Lotus, this individual seems indifferent. What stature could they hold?" Liang pondered.
"Regardless, it appears that the Transcendent Alliance harbors no malice towards me. They even acknowledge my presence," Liang smiled coldly. Power commanded respect.
"Let us set our sights on the Yin-Yang Abyss Mountain Range. It presents an ideal venue to gauge my current prowess and limitations."
The Yin-Yang Abyss Mountain Range reigned as one of the most treacherous locations within the solar system, a labyrinth of ancient ruins, Yin demons, malevolent spirits, and countless other perils. The exclusive sanctuary amidst this cursed expanse was the Xuanling Palace, the dominion of the Chess Paragon.
Despite being situated merely at the periphery of the mountain range, the palace defied imagination.
Legend whispered tales of divine paragons succumbing to the perils within these enigmatic mountains. Nonetheless, the allure of extraordinary opportunities outweighed the daunting risks, as each of the five divine paragons had ascended to prominence after venturing into its depths.
Thus, the Yin-Yang Abyss Mountain Range captivated the attention of Runic Mastery Realm experts, drawing those who dared to flirt with destiny.

Liang swiftly navigated to the outskirts of the mountain range. Guided by the old man’s memories, locating it proved effortless.
Though the man perished upon emerging from Frostfell, his sojourn had been brief.
In the aftermath of his sect’s destruction, he set course for Solitude, his entry facilitated by the prior invitation to join the alliance. Upon reaching Solitude, he secured a secluded abode amidst the perilous wilderness to cultivate in tranquility.
Despite his solitary existence, he maintained interaction with fellow experts and seized the opportunity to behold the grandeur of Xuanling Palace.
"As anticipated, the density of Yin Qi here is unparalleled. Even the Death Domain pales in comparison," Liang exclaimed upon submerging himself in the ethereal atmosphere of the mountain’s edge.
A wry smile accompanying his words, he ventured into the periphery of the mountains.
The Yin-Yang Abyss Mountain Range stretched far and wide, its desolate terrain shrouded in an ethereal gloom. Jagged peaks pierced the heavens, casting long, foreboding shadows across the land. The air was thick with the pungent odor of decay and primal Yin energy, permeating every crevice and crevasse.
Amidst the oppressive twilight, Liang witnessed a haunting spectacle as Yin Qi swirled and coalesced like ethereal smoke. Darkness had consumed this realm, giving rise to many ominous creatures.
Three distinct domains demarcated this perilous expanse.
The periphery, the outermost region, where Yin Qi’s grip was less oppressive and the terrain retained a semblance of stability. Runic Mastery Realm experts ventured into this region , lured by the promise of adventure and hidden treasures.
The Inner Depths, the central region, played host to a chaotic dance between Yin and Yang Qi. Ancient ruins and concealed artifacts beckoned, but so too did formidable threats. Yin demons and malevolent spirits roamed freely.
At the heart of this enigmatic domain lay the innermost region, the Abyssal Core—a region of unbridled Yin and Yang energy. Legends whispered of its being the birthplace of the mountain range, the very source of its potent spiritual essence. Yet, even the mightiest paragons dared not venture into this forbidden territory, its dangers deemed insurmountable.
As Liang delved deeper into the cursed expanse, the icy touch of unseen eyes watching him from the obsidian depths sent shivers down his spine. His senses, honed to a razor’s edge, detected a furtive movement behind him. With lightning reflexes, he spun around, confronting a grotesque creature that seemed to materialize from the depths of a nightmare.
"A Yin Demon!" Liang whispered under his breath, an uncommon sight this far from the Periphery’s depths.
The Yin Demon towered over Liang, its skeletal frame draped in a cloak of ethereal darkness that swallowed the light around it. Its crimson eyes possessed an eerie glow, while its razor-sharp claws dripped with a caustic venom that could dissolve flesh in an instant.
Liang knew that he could not afford to underestimate this creature.
"The perfect opportunity to test my Chaos Embodiment," Liang thought, a predatory glint in his eyes.
Chaos Embodiment, a newly acquired ability from the Chaos Rune after his breakthrough to the Runic Mastery Realm, granted him unparalleled physical enhancement, matching that of a Seventh-Order Body Refining Expert.
He activated his Chaos Embodiment, and in an instant, his body erupted in a maelstrom of chaotic qi. His muscles swelled and his skin turned a vibrant emerald green. His eyes flared with a predatory glint, and his aura surged with an intensity that matched the Yin Demon’s own.
Crash!
The Yin Demon let out a deafening roar and lunged at Liang, its claws extended in a deadly embrace. Liang dodged the attack with ease, using his enhanced speed and agility to circle around the Yin Demon. He struck the creature with a swift kick, sending it crashing backward into a nearby rock formation.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
The Yin Demon recovered quickly and retaliated with a barrage of venomous projectiles. Liang deftly dodged the attacks, using his Chaos Qi to create a protective barrier around himself. The projectiles harmlessly disintegrated against the barrier, their corrosive venom unable to penetrate its defenses.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Liang pressed his advantage and launched a relentless assault upon the Yin Demon. His fists and kicks were imbued with Chaos Qi, each blow carrying the raw force cebable of shaking an ordinary planet. The Yin Demon fought back fiercely, its claws and teeth bared as it desperately attempted to defend itself.
Finally, after a grueling exchange of blows, Liang unleashed his most powerful attack. He gathered all his Chaos Qi into his right fist, forming a swirling vortex of emerald energy. With a deafening roar, he unleashed the vortex at the Yin Demon, engulfing it in a blinding explosion.
The Yin Demon let out a final, desperate cry as it was consumed by the Chaos Qi. Its skeletal frame shattered into a thousand pieces, and its ethereal essence dissipated into the surrounding darkness.
Liang stood victorious, his body still pulsating with Chaos Qi. He took a moment to catch his breath, his gaze sweeping over the desolate landscape.
As Liang turned to leave, he felt a faint vibration beneath his feet. The ground began to tremble, and a low rumbling sound filled the air. Suddenly, a massive fissure opened up in the earth, spewing forth a torrent of Yin Qi.
Liang watched in amusement as the Yin Qi swirled and coalesced into a colossal whirlpool. From the depths of the whirlpool, a pair of glowing red eyes emerged, followed by a monstrous head with razor-sharp teeth.
"A Yin Spirit Lord!" Liang exclaimed in astonishment.
