By means of the anchor that the King of Fear left on Airesha, Zhou Yi used the power of the Void Realm to reverse-search a distant World.
He could be sure that it was where the King of Fear's true body resided, and in that World, the Souls of Logan and Quicksilver would also be preserved.
So, without hesitation, he enveloped himself in the power of the Golden Crow Incarnation's Dharma Aspect and plunged into another World.
The endless Void Realm flowed, constructing a fragile passage between the two Worlds.
In this passage, only the power of the Void Realm could flow, and because of this, Zhou Yi had to rely on divine power to move freely within it.
Fortunately, the passage was not long, and in a very short time, Zhou Yi passed through the Void Realm and arrived in another World.
This World was much as he had imagined: gloomy and dark, with the sky full of piled-up black clouds, not a single ray of light shining down.
Through the clouds, he could see the Sun of this World.
It was so incredibly distant that its light could not illuminate this World at all.
The cold was almost Eternity, embracing this World tightly, just like the darkness.
It kept this World completely in shadow and ice, though there was also light here.
However, unlike the brightness of the Sun, the light here came from the blood flowing deep within the earth.
Volcanoes, one after another, almost covered the surface of this World, constantly spewing crimson lava and yellow-green poisonous Qi.
The lava gathered into rivers, flowing across the surface of this World, bringing precious light and heat.
The poisonous Qi, meanwhile, ascended into the sky, forming thick, dense layers of clouds.
The thick clouds blocked everything beyond the sky, making cold, darkness, volcanoes, and great rivers of magma the almost Eternal theme of this World.
This was the Abyss that the King of Fear spoke of, a World where hope could not possibly exist.
Yet, this was the dwelling place of the King of Fear, and also where the lost Souls resided.
To find those Souls, he had to find the King of Fear.
As someone who viewed Souls as sustenance, he would never allow them to wander in this World.
Therefore, what Zhou Yi had to do was very simple: reclaim those Souls from Erebus's hands.
With a heart exceptionally bright, Zhou Yi directly transformed into a colossal Golden Crow Divine Bird, its hundreds of meters of wings immediately spreading out.
Golden Fire and endless light began to flow in this gloomy World, announcing his presence to this dark World.
It was also a provocation to the King of Fear.
He was telling him, 'I have come, and I will destroy you.'
No one can tolerate an outsider causing trouble in their home, and as a demon, Erebus would not allow a God to wreak havoc in his World.
So, a rumbling sound came from a distant volcano.
Along with the eruption of countless lava and poisonous clouds, three enormous arms emerged from the crater.
The arms, dozens of meters long, tore at the rocks near the crater, pulling a massive body out from the rolling, scorching lava.
The true form of the King of Fear appeared.
The colossal, house-sized head let out a terrifying roar, and gushing venom flowed from its fanged and sharp-toothed maw, instantly corroding the rocks in front of him into putrid debris.
His bone-spurred wings blotted out the sky, and as he flapped them, the poisonous clouds spewed from the volcano swirled around his sides.
And the blind poisonous Dragon on his lower abdomen roared, spewing thick green poisonous Fire, this Fire possessed terrifying power, adhering to anything it touched until that thing was completely corroded into ash.
As soon as he appeared, the King of Fear brazenly displayed his furious posture.
His three pairs of crimson vertical pupils stared fixedly at the Golden Crow that Zhou Yi had transformed into, and a low growl, like rumbling thunder, emerged from his throat.
"king of light, how dare you set foot in my World and so brazenly offend my majesty? You are seeking your own death!"
"Shut up!" Along with Zhou Yi's angry shout, the Golden Crow Divine Bird's three claws immediately tore open the earth, and the magma beneath the earth's veins instantly gushed out.
And with this terrifying force, the Divine Bird violently flapped its wings and soared, its massive body transforming into a golden stream of light, instantly flashing to the side of the King of Fear.
The flaming light swirling around the Golden Crow immediately began to incinerate his body; the Solar Divine Fire was something the King of Fear, as a demon, could not endure.
He screamed in agony, waving his arms and pouncing towards the Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow spread its wings, once again transforming into a stream of light and appearing behind the King of Fear.
An endless gale, mixed with Solar Divine Fire, was stirred by its wings and blew onto the King of Fear, igniting all the scales and dirty fur on his body.
The Solar Divine Fire burned him to the bone, and his massive body rolled in the lava, creating countless waves of molten rock.
However, this could not stop the Solar Divine Fire from burning.
To stop this immense pain, the King of Fear opened his mouth and spewed countless filth from it.
These dark, filthy substances mixed with the highly toxic venom in his mouth, engulfing his body like a waterfall.
The Divine Fire immediately grappled with these foul, poisonous liquids.
Under the burning of the Divine Fire, wailing human figures constantly turned to ash within the filthy poisonous stream, and when the poisonous stream was burned out, the Divine Fire also slowly began to extinguish.
The Solar Divine Fire on the King of Fear's body was like rootless duckweed, utterly unable to contend with the unending poisonous stream.
Soon, all the Divine Fire on him was extinguished.
And after extinguishing the Divine Fire on his body, the King of Fear immediately roared.
"Die!" His massive body rose from the volcano, his bone-spurred giant wings tearing through the thick poisonous clouds, carrying his mountain-like body like a streak of lightning towards the Golden Crow in the sky.
The Golden Crow flapped its wings, calmly dodging.
But the King of Fear opened his great mouth and directly spewed a torrent of filth at it.
The poisonous stream was full of struggling, wailing human figures, looking just like the waters of the Yellow Springs.
Unwilling to let such foul and turbid things touch its body, the Golden Crow directly opened its beak wide, and a river-like torrent of Solar Divine Fire met the filthy torrent.
The vast Divine Fire made the King of Fear feel immense pressure.
The filthy poisonous stream he spewed was the most evil thing, produced by the Souls he had devoured mixed with his secreted venom and his inherent demonic power, and it was a symbol of the lost within his own demonic nature.
This lost poisonous stream could devour Souls and even corrupt the divinity of Gods, making all life fall into the self-loathing of being lost.
Relying on this evil power, he had once caused Gods to fall, eventually becoming his sustenance.
However, in the face of the Solar Divine Fire, this filthy poisonous stream met its nemesis.
Facing the Solar Divine Fire, which restrains all evil powers, the filthy poisonous stream had no effect whatsoever; on the contrary, it was being infinitely consumed by the Divine Fire.
Soon, the King of Fear felt that he could not sustain it.
No matter how many Souls he devoured, they could not be consumed endlessly like this.
So, he raised his tail.
The blind poisonous Dragon at the end of his tail immediately stretched its neck and scales, spewing poisonous Fire to join the battle.
The blind poisonous Dragon was a symbol of the blindness within his demonic nature.
And the poisonous Fire it spewed also had the same demonic nature: it entangled and adhered, and once it touched something, it would never extinguish.
The blind poisonous Fire and the lost poisonous stream mixed together, immediately holding back the vast Divine Fire.
But this did not give the King of Fear any advantage.
His three pairs of crimson vertical pupils narrowed, and his giant wings spread behind him, sharp bone spurs instantly extending a hundred meters, stabbing through the air towards the Golden Crow.
Profound darkness swirled around the pale bone spurs, displaying terrifying demonic power.
Watching the enormous bone spurs stab towards him, the Golden Crow that Zhou Yi had transformed into quickly curled its body, its three sharp claws beneath it striking down through the air.
The bone spurs and claws met in the air, the Divine Fire on the claws and the demonic power on the bone spurs surged, licking at each other, both causing a certain amount of damage.
But for the King of Fear, it did not achieve the effect he desired.
The bone spurs on these wings were a symbol of the pain within his demonic nature; they could make all life wounded by them feel endless pain.
And pain, along with the previous blindness, being lost, and another symbol of demonic nature, constituted his complete demonic Origin - Fear.
Whether it was Fear arising from being lost in oneself, Fear arising from blindly struggling, or Fear arising from endless pain.
As long as Fear grew in the enemy's life, he could draw his power from the enemy's body, thereby making himself stronger.
Existing by Fear, becoming strong by Fear, this was the King of Fear - Erebus.
However, his enemy today far exceeded his expectations.
The powers of being lost and blindness were useless in the face of the Divine Fire that destroyed all evil and brought light, and endless pain could not invade the opponent's mind, allowing Fear to grow within him.
This feeling of powerlessness made the King of Fear feel genuine dread; a huge sense of crisis spread throughout his entire Soul.
As a demon who had lived for countless years, he began to realize the terrifying nature of his enemy.
This was not an existence comparable to the Gods he had once preyed upon; in fact, this God before him was even more powerful than an ordinary God of the Sun.
This discovery made him consider retreating.
Demons were always creatures that sought advantages and avoided harm; they would never blindly risk their lives for a moment of impulse.
And Erebus, as the King of Fear, the king among demons, was naturally even more skilled in this way.
Forcefully pulling back his bone spurs, the King of Fear, no longer wanting to fight, began to look for his escape route.
This was his World, and he was confident that he could hide without being discovered by this God before him.
As long as he could disengage, he could immediately vanish without a trace.
Do not doubt a demon; their cunning and trickery are famous in all mythologies.
As a combatant, Zhou Yi naturally also sensed the unusual movement beneath his claws.
He saw the King of Fear's hesitation and naturally would not give up this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
The power of divinity began to increase, and even the distant Sun of this World began to supply him with power.
The Solar Divine Fire suddenly surged severalfold, the torrent of Divine Fire from his beak directly overwhelmed the King of Fear's turbid stream and poisonous Fire, and the claws beneath his feet suddenly exerted force.
Under the blessing of the Divine Fire, the claws instantly became indestructible, forcefully snapping two sections of bone spurs.
In just an instant, the King of Fear fell into an absolute disadvantage.
The Divine Fire scorched his body, and broken bone spurs gushed purple demonic blood.
Unable to flap his wings, he plummeted directly, crushing vast areas of mountains and rocks with a thunderous roar.
And he continued to roll desperately, leaving countless traces of burning flames in his wake.
Seize the victory; this thought had just flashed through his mind.
The Golden Crow that Zhou Yi had transformed into instantly became a stream of light and flashed down.
The King of Fear was already vulnerable.
Now was the best opportunity for him to reclaim Logan and the others' lost Souls.
