Chapter 740

If they could find an opportunity to strike another heavy blow to the Moonfall Clan, they would naturally be more than happy to do so!

"Why didn't we take the middle route?" Ethan asked Onyx Orchid in his mind.

Just now, while considering the map, he had been analyzing whether the middle or southern route was more suitable. But Onyx Orchid's voice had suddenly popped up, telling him to choose the southern route.

After obtaining the second mask, Onyx Orchid had recovered a lot of strength and memories.

He was an old monster who had lived for countless years. Naturally, he knew more than Ethan did.

Therefore, Ethan hadn't hesitated and directly chose the rugged southern route.

"The Demon Caverns deep in the Far North Ice Field are a massive ruin left behind from the Ancient Era, the Graveyard of Emperors!"

"Over twenty Emperor Realm experts have fallen inside! Among them, the number of Great Emperors is no less than a handful. The freezing wind of the Demon Caverns is known as the Extreme Yin Profound Wind. Even Perfect Supremes cannot survive within it for long."

"The Extreme Yin Profound Wind envelopes a thousand-mile radius around the Demon Caverns. Every so often, a portion of it shrinks back into the interior, revealing many safe paths. Whenever this time comes, countless experts flock here to hunt for treasure."

"Although those familiar with this place all know about the so-called window period, they do not know that the appearance of this window is not actually a set pattern, even though it appears to follow one."

Onyx Orchid materialized in Ethan's spiritual sea. He lay on a chair, hands behind his head, speaking with a look of profound mystery.

"Oh? There's such a thing? Since there is no specific pattern, how did you determine that the southern route is safe?"

"If a window period arrives early or is delayed, it indicates that the power within the Demon Caverns is extremely unstable and volatile. Therefore, the Extreme Yin Profound Wind will be unusually active. A route that appears in the morning might be completely covered by nightfall."

"I also cannot accurately determine the activity patterns of the Extreme Yin Profound Wind. But there is one thing I am certain of: the southern route was actually carved out by a Great Emperor hundreds of thousands of years ago. He brandished his longsword and cleaved a path for his descendants."

"So many years have passed, yet powerful sword intent has remained hidden along that route. When the window period arrives, the sword intent appears, devouring and offsetting the Extreme Yin Profound Wind, forcing it to shrink back, thus forming a relatively safe route."

"Even if the Extreme Yin Profound Wind suddenly riots, the wind along that route will be weaker than in other areas due to the Great Emperor's sword intent. Although it still wouldn't be something an ordinary Supreme could resist, for you and your two spiritual pets, it shouldn't be much of a problem," Onyx Orchid explained.

"I see." Ethan nodded in sudden realization.

However, he was quite curious about one thing. Great Emperor experts from hundreds of thousands of years ago had come to explore this place.

Could the true treasures within the Demon Caverns have already been taken by those Great Emperors?

Furthermore, even beings as powerful as Great Emperors had failed to eliminate the Extreme Yin Profound Wind here.

Where exactly did this wind come from, and what was its source?

Ethan had too many doubts now.

His curiosity about the interior of the Demon Caverns only grew deeper.

...

Ethan's group arrived at the entrance of the southern route.

The six people stood atop a snow-capped mountain, gazing ahead.

The Extreme Yin Profound Wind howled erratically, but it only swirled and hovered within a specific area.

Here, the wind possessed color.

A murky gray.

The color varied in shade, darker areas indicated the wind was dense and powerful, nearly taking physical form.

Lighter areas indicated it was relatively thin.

"Young Master Ethan, right there!"

Elowen pointed ahead.

She could clearly see a distinct path leading straight through the region enveloped by the Extreme Yin Profound Wind.

Rather than a path, it was more accurate to call it a long, winding canyon.

Ethan closed his eyes, clearly sensing razor-sharp sword intent welling up from the depths of the canyon, forcefully pushing back the Extreme Yin Profound Wind.

The entire space above the canyon was clear, looking as if a streak of white chalk had been brushed across a black wall, perfectly splitting the hazy gray sky in two.

"Follow me, do not step beyond thirty feet from me."

Ethan spread out his divine power, forming a protective barrier that enveloped Elowen and the others. Then, with a flash, he flew toward the sword intent canyon.

After roughly fifteen minutes, Ethan suddenly came to a halt.

"What is it, Young Master?" Lunara asked.

"Someone has been here. There's a residual aura... icy divine power. It feels somewhat familiar. It should be the people from the Moonfall Clan."

"They move quite fast."

Ethan activated his Heaven-piercing Mind Eyes, carefully scanning the area.

The residual icy aura had not yet dissipated, meaning the Moonfall Clan members were not far ahead.

"..."

Elowen and the other two closed their eyes and carefully extended their perception.

A moment later, Elowen opened her eyes. "There really seems to be a trace of icy aura. Young Master Ethan's predictions are truly god-like. The Moonfall Clan truly did take this route."

"Everyone, conceal your auras. We are going to catch the Moonfall Clan off guard and strive for a one-hit kill!" Ethan reminded them.

The group nodded, each executing secret techniques to conceal their auras. Sticking close to the stone walls of the canyon, they followed Ethan as he sped forward.

Powerful, razor-sharp sword intent and sword intent continuously surged up from both sides and the depths of the stone walls, rushing toward the sky above.

This power was colorless and formless, ordinary Supremes simply couldn't detect it.

Logically speaking, sword intent should be an indiscriminate offensive force.

Yet miraculously, after this razor-sharp sword intent emerged from the depths of the canyon, it deliberately avoided the people traveling through it, shooting straight up to clash with the Extreme Yin Profound Wind above.

...

Half an hour later.

At the edge of the deepest part of the Demon Caverns.

Dozens of figures wearing black cloaks and black masks came to a halt.
