Heading 334: Heading to the Shadow Realm

"What? The tools these people used to steal the God Demon Stone were given to them by the Shadow Realm?"

The girl's words greatly surprised Xiao Fan.

The God Demon Stone is the most important item in the Divine Demon City, making it extremely difficult to steal. However, Shadow Realm was able to provide items that allowed these Half God Demon Human to steal the God Demon Stone.

Xiao Fan suddenly realized that the Shadow Realm was different from what he had imagined.

It is not a purely human force that is merely clinging to life between the two major powers of God and Demon City and the Underground City; its level of development may have already surpassed those two major powers.

As for how the Shadow Realm developed, he'll only know once he arrives Shadow Realm.

At this point, Xiao Fan basically understood what had happened.

He left the house and went to the front door, activating the skill <Thousand Faces>.

A God Demon Soldier appeared at the gate.

This is data on a God Demon Soldier that Xiao Fan had secretly stolen before.

After transforming, Xiao Fan opened the door directly.

Inside the room, twelve or thirteen people heard the door open and ran out again. When they saw Xiao Fan, who was dressed as God Demon Soldier, a look of panic and fear flashed across their faces.

Xiao Fan immediately realized that the three of them did not recognize this God Demon Soldier.

"That makes things easier."

Xiao Fan closed the door, stepped forward, walked to Twelve, and lowered his voice.

Where is the God Demon Stone?

The faces of the twelve or thirteen people turned deathly pale instantly.

"What... what are you saying... How... how would I know where the God Demon Stone is?" Twelve stammered.

"Stop pretending. The Shadow Realm sent me to meet you. Now that the Divine God Demon Stone is missing, you must have succeeded. Hand it over to me immediately, or if others find it, you're finished."

Xiao Fan decided to also pretend to be a Half God Demon Human who had been turned by the Shadow Realm.

"You... you've also sided with the Shadow Realm?"

Twelve looked at Xiao Fan in surprise.

These are God Demon Soldier, yet they've defected to the Shadow Realm.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Give me the God Demon Stone right now, or you're all finished once the others find it."

Xiao Fan glanced coldly at the twelve or thirteen people.

He's gambling! Gambling that, under these circumstances, they won't suspect him.

Sure enough, Twelve believed him.

He glanced behind him first, then said with a mournful face.

"Brother, I did steal the God Demon Stone using the items given to me by the Shadow Realm, but later, to avoid being searched, I placed the God Demon Stone on the roof. When I went to retrieve it after everyone had left, the God Demon Stone was gone."

"What?! How could it be gone?!"

Xiao Fan feigned great surprise.

"I don't know either, it's just gone. I searched the whole roof, but I couldn't find it." Twelve looked distressed.

"You guys..." Xiao Fan pointed at the three of them, pretending to be too angry to speak.

"Big brother, what do we do now?" The two people behind him looked at Xiao Fan, trembling.

Xiao Fan abruptly lowered his hand, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"You must leave God and Demon City first. Dr. Xin, based on the traces in the laboratory, is almost able to find out that you were the ones who stole the God Demon Stone. You must leave God and Demon City immediately."

Now?

"Right now, I'll handle this for you, you leave immediately!"

Okay! Let's go now.

Upon hearing that Dr. Xin was about to find them, the twelve or thirteen people panicked. When Xiao Fan told them to leave, they immediately headed outside.

At this time, Xiao Fan's skill <Silent Shadow Escape> was off cooldown.

After the twelve or thirteen people had gone some distance, he immediately activated his stealth skill and chased after them.

The scene Xiao Fan just acted out was to leave the City of Gods and Demons with the three of them.

With the speed boost from his skill, Xiao Fan quickly caught up with the three and followed closely behind them.

The three carefully bypassed the people searching for the God Demon Stone throughout the city and arrived at a secluded corner far from the main road of the city. They stopped in front of a building that looked like Air Raid Shelter.

The girl glanced back, and seeing no one, breathed a sigh of relief before speaking.

Where are we going after leaving God and Demon City? The Shadow Realm?

"What else can we go?"

"But we didn't get the God Demon Stone, and we used the items. Won't they blame us?"

"I don't think so. We used to be compatriots."

The boy asked uncertainly.

"Let's leave the City of Gods and Demons first, otherwise if Dr. Xin finds out that we lost the God Demon Stone, we'll definitely be in big trouble."

Twelve's words startled the other two awake.

Yes, once the theft of the God Demon Stone is discovered, they won't be able to leave the Divine Demon City even if they want to.

"Walk."

The three opened the door to the Air Raid Shelter, and the next moment, their expressions changed drastically, and they involuntarily took two steps back.

"So it was you guys."

A cold voice came from inside the Air Raid Shelter, and an administrator walked out of Air Raid Shelter.

Clearly, they had overheard the conversation between the twelve or thirteen people.

"Run!"

Twelve turned and ran, and the other two, realizing what was happening, also quickly ran behind them.

"Chase."

At the order of the commander, he led a group of soldiers in pursuit.

As Xiao Fan watched the group disappear into the darkness, he felt both worried for the twelve or thirteen people and relieved at the same time.

Although it was somewhat unethical of the three to lead him to a way out of the City of Gods and Demons and to lure away the people inside, Xiao Fan couldn't help them.

"Let's leave the City of Gods and Demons first."

Xiao Fan stepped into the Air Raid Shelter, and the next second the alarm blared through the sky.

"Damn! There's an ambush!"

Xiao Fan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated, but it was too late; the pungent liquid sprayed all over him.

These liquids did not make Xiao Fan visible, but they did cause his body to emit white steam.

Dr. Xin emerged from the Air Raid Shelter.

I coldly observed the white mist in human form under the lamplight.

"You old sly fox!"

Xiao Fan cursed inwardly.

At the same time, he felt something was off.

This secret realm felt so real to him!

It's like a real world, and from the struggles between various forces to the intelligence of the NPCs, it has transcended the realm of a game.

Who would have thought that even in his condition, Dr. Xin would still be able to find him?

Looking at the white mist surrounding his body, Xiao Fan knew that it was no longer possible to hide himself.

Seeing the divine and God Demon Soldier rushing in from all directions, Xiao Fan knew that he only had one option left.

Use skills to break through the defenses of the God and Demon City.

If he succeeds, he can leave; if he fails, he can only tell his teammates and leave the secret realm.

"This time, let's see how you run now!"

Dr. Xin's lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer as he pointed to the white mist in the light.

"Grab him."

In an instant, gods, demons, and God Demon Human from all directions rushed towards Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was now at full health. Instead of throwing the Iron Pot immediately, he activated his contract skill, <Armor Transformation>, with a thought.

A pair of enormous golden wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and as the light shimmered, Xiao Fan's body was gently lifted up and suspended in mid-air.

This scene left the surrounding God Demon Human, and humans completely blank.

Even Dr. Xin stared intently at Xiao Fan, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"How... how could this person possibly fly?"

Even the most powerful divine and demonic forces could not make a person grow wings and fly to a height of more than ten meters.

Even Yuan Yi's future technology can't do it, and neither can the mysterious Shadow Realm!

"Dr... Doctor... This person can fly, we can't catch him!"

A God Demon Soldier stared in shock at Xiao Fan high in the sky, his voice trembling.

Who exactly is this person? How can they grow wings?

Wait a minute? These shouldn't be considered purely human...

Dr. Xin remained silent, staring motionlessly at Xiao Fan high in the sky.

At this moment, it seemed that many emotions were breaking through the taboos of the God Demon Stone within his body, and were about to affect his brain.

Losing the God Demon Stone and activating Level 1 Defense caused his divine and demonic power to dissipate even faster.

Fortunately, it's still under control.

"Who exactly are you?" Dr. Xin asked.

Xiao Fan had just tried to fly away from the top of the God and Demon City, but found that he couldn't.

Clearly, Level 1 Defense barrier enveloped the entire city.

Upon hearing Dr. Xin's question, Xiao Fan looked down at the densely packed God Demon Human, and blurted out the answer.

"I am Jiu Chen, the possessor of God-King Rank skills."

A kind of God Demon Human:????

"God-King Rank skills? What are those?" a God Demon Human couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Fan smirked. "You'll find out soon enough."

After saying this, the God King Rank Skill <Dragon-Riding Nine Lightning> was activated immediately.

When a silver Thunder Dragon appeared behind Xiao Fan, the God Demon Human below, including Dr. Xin, were all dumbfounded.

"What... what is that?"

In the dark sky, a golden-winged boy in black stood suspended in mid-air, with a huge silver dragon crackling with lightning coiling behind him.

This scene is absolutely terrifying!

Even with their immense divine and demonic power, they had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene.

Xiao Fan originally wanted to let the gods God Demon Human below experience the God King Skill.

However, he wasn't sure if a single skill could break through the Level 1 Defense of the Divine Demon City, and considering the skill's cooldown, he finally pointed to the invisible protective barrier high in the sky.

"Break him down!"

The next second, with a dragon's roar, the Thunder Dragon soared into the air and crashed straight into the invisible barrier.

Xiao Fan underestimated the power of the God King Skill.

With almost no obstruction, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the Thunder Dragon shot directly into the air, reaching a height of 100 meters, before disappearing into the sky.

"Breaked through?"

Xiao Fan himself found it unbelievable, but that didn't stop him from immediately flapping his wings and flying towards the location where the Thunder Dragon had charged out.

It flew out without any hindrance, just as expected.

"That simple?"

Xiao Fan glanced down; the God Demon Human seemed still in shock, staring dumbfounded at the sky. Xiao Fan had originally intended to unleash a Thunder Dragon on them, but unfortunately, his skill was on cooldown.

He sighed with a regretful expression.

Xiao Fan took out the God Demon Stone from his Space Ring and waved it at Dr. Xin, "That old man has been bothering me for so long! Let him get angry!"

With a mocking smile at Dr. Xin, Xiao Fan flapped his wings and flew towards the teleportation array.

Then, the moment Xiao Fan took out the God Demon Stone, Dr. Xin's face finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"The God Demon Stone! Give me back the God Demon Stone..."

To get to the surface, you have to go through the Underground City.

When Xiao Fan returned to the Underground City, the city's defenses had been reduced by several levels.

Even though patrolling robots and aircraft are rarely seen in the city center anymore, Yuan Yi no longer monitors the entire city at all times.

It was clear that the Underground City's stored resources were almost depleted, which allowed Xiao Fan to reach the surface without any problems.

Having found the marks left by Qin Muyu and the others, Xiao Fan headed towards the Shadow Realm.

Xiao Fan is different from Qin Muyu and the others.

He has skills to speed up his journey and eliminate fatigue, an Iron Pot to replenish his energy, and food in his Space Ring, making his travel very fast.

When they had traveled about halfway, Xiao Fan received a message from Qin Muyu and the others.

They found the City of Gods and Demons.

Blade Shadow: "Now I finally understand why this secret realm is called the Cyberpunk World!"

Fatty: "This is amazing! Brother Fan, come quick!"

Qin Muyu: "I sent you Shadow Rain's exact location. How are you now? Have you left the City of Gods and Demons?"

Xiao Fan was curious about what the Shadow Realm was like, that it could excite Fatty and the others so much. Even from the messages, he could feel their excitement.

After glancing at the location shared by Qin Muyu, which was only 2.3 kilometers away, Xiao Fan quickly arrived in the direction of the Shadow Realm with the speed boost from his skill.

Surrounded by yellow sand, Xiao Fan followed Qin Muyu's instructions to find the entrance to the Shadow Realm, only to find the scene before him changing in the next second.

"This... this is..."

Upon seeing the scene before him, Xiao Fan's eyes widened in shock.

Cyberpunk City, this is the Cyberpunk City in Xiao Fan's heart!

Light, shadow, data, steel forest, neon lights, and suspended walkways Zong Heng.

It's hard to imagine that this city was built on a planet where resources are almost completely depleted.

At this moment, even Xiao Fan was curious about what resources the people of the Shadow Realm had used to build this city.

A gust of wind carrying damp air ruffled Xiao Fan's black hair. He realized he was standing on top of a towering building, a thousand meters high, and could only see colorful lights below.

"Wrong!"

Xiao Fan frowned.

How could there be wind in Underground City?

"Could it be that the builders of the Shadow Realm used the same temperature technology as the Underground City?"

As Xiao Fan was pondering this, a loud shout suddenly rang out behind him.

"Grab him."

Xiao Fan turned around and saw several strangely dressed people standing behind him, with no information displayed above their heads.

Xiao Fan was very familiar with this situation; monster information would only appear after the player attacked the monster.

So, Xiao Fan activated his skill <Sun and Moon Rotation> and threw it over.

The next second, the man uttered a word he had never expected, in shock.

"Player?"

"A player!" Xiao Fan was even more shocked than the person.

"Boss, he's an invading player from another world! Quick! Kill him!"

The man shouted at the group behind him.

The people behind him hadn't taken it seriously at first, leaning against the pipes above their heads to watch the commotion. But after hearing this person's shout, they all stood up straight instantly, staring at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

"What? Players from another world have invaded? Let's attack and kill him!"

Xiao Fan was even more shocked than the others when he heard their conversation.

He instantly understood what resources the people of the Shadow Realm used to build this Cyberpunk City.

Yes...

<Cloud Sea>!

This is a world invaded by the <Cloud Sea>, but due to the appearance of Yuan Yi and the power of gods and demons, only the pure humans who escaped from the Shadow Realm became game players.

Xiao Fan got goosebumps all over his body; the complexity of the situation instantly made him break out in a cold sweat!
