Demon Weapon Village

Boom!

The blade wind and blade light struck the ground. The arena ceased to exist, turning to ash in an instant.

The great guandao cleaved into the ground, splitting the earth's crust with a fissure that stretched a thousand meters away.

The region of black vapor in the heavens overhead was smashed apart and torn to shreds by layer upon layer of phantom flying cranes, fierce tigers, and bulls, until nothing remained.

Yan Wanjun had lost. His flesh-and-blood weapon vanished from the arena.

It was more than a crushing defeat—it was utter annihilation. To the onlookers, it seemed he had been reduced to nothing, not even bones left behind.

"Event trigger conditions met. Trial Project (Eight-Star): Uncover the secrets of Demon Weapon Village."

"After your enemy was defeated, unwilling to submit to death, he activated the ability of the Demon Weapon Spirit and fled into Demon Weapon Village, causing your finishing blow to fail."

"Demon Weapon Village: a surreal space freely accessible to Demon Weapon Hosts, located somewhere within the Fifty Provinces."

"Find the precise location of Demon Weapon Village to complete this Trial Project."

Zhou You lowered his great guandao and gazed at the sand scattered across the ground, as well as the enormous rift that split all the way to the end of the horizon. A feeling of loss rose in his heart.

Yan Wanjun was not dead. At the instant the blade light descended upon him, he flashed and vanished from where he stood.

Zhou You could sense that Yan Wanjun had disappeared from reality, using the demon weapon as a medium to enter some world that relied upon reality while transcending it, fleeing far beyond the range of his attacks.

Now he knew that the place Yan Wanjun had fled to was called Demon Weapon Village.
