More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yuanqing had traveled over three hundred million li with Li Miaoxuan, reaching the true depths of the Demon Land.
The Demonic Qi here was even denser. The power of the demonic path held absolute dominance, clearly suppressing the power of other Great Daos.
