Not even half a day has passed since Yuan entered the Vanishing Valley. During this short amount of time, he'd killed 5 unique magical beasts, all of them releasing an announcement shortly after being slain.

The players were bewildered by how many announcements were appearing that day, and all of them were related to Player Yuan hunting Elite Bosses.

Seeing how many unique Elite Bosses were being hunted so quickly, they wondered if Yuan had found a hidden dungeon filled with such bosses. However, even if they knew his location and wanted to follow him, none of these players were insane enough to enter the Fourth Heaven.

While several thousand players have entered the Fourth Heaven, most of these people were Scouters hired by others to gather information about the realm.

"Again?! How many more announcements are we going to have to see before it stops?!"

The players were already getting fed up with the spam. Unbeknownst to them, this was just the very beginning.

Several more days came and went quickly while Yuan continued to wander the Vanishing Valley with Xiao Hua by his side. During this time, he's encountered plenty of magical beasts at the level of Spirit Sovereign to Divine Grandmasters. He slew all of them except one—a red-eyed black lizard that had a cultivation base even he could not fathom.

This lizard stood 20 meters tall and was the length of three school buses. Xiao Hua recognized it as a Tyrant Lizard King, a very aggressive and vicious magical beast that could spit out bone-melting venom and destroy mountains with the swing of its tail.

Yuan thought that he would stop finding so many unique magical beasts by now, but new magical beasts kept on appearing with barely any repeats, almost as though the Vanishing Valley was a zoo of exotic and powerful magical beasts.

During these few days, Yuan's name would constantly appear in the sky, sometimes a dozen times in a single day.

The players had grown so sick of seeing these announcements that they started outright ignoring them, acting as though they didn't exist. Unfortunately, because of this, some players who weren't Yuan and managed to receive an announcement would be completely ignored by the majority of players.

"Heavens… it's been two weeks now, and he's still finding new Elite Bosses to kill? Just where is he farming?" Wang Xiuying stared at the sky with a slight smile on her face while she practiced her alchemy outdoors.

Meanwhile, the internet blew up with speculations about the treasures Yuan had gotten after killing so many Elite Bosses.

"He must have a mountain of treasures by now!"

"Fuck! I am so envious! The last time I fought an Elite Boss was three months ago, and I couldn't even defeat it! In the end, I had to run away!"

"Alas, the distance between Player Yuan and the rest of us has increased yet again."

After wandering the seemingly endless Vanishing Valley for three weeks, Yuan finally encountered a landmark that could direct him toward the Shadow Realm.

In the distance, a mountain loomed with a distinct shape resembling a head, and there were several of them all lined up to form a mountain range. If one looked closely, one would be able to see a laughing expression on the body of these mountains, looking as though they were mocking the world.

"The Mocking Mountain Range… If we follow the direction of their faces, we should arrive at our next landmark—the Red Garden of Death." Yuan muttered out loud.

He looked at Xiao Hua and asked, "Do you need a small break before we continue?"

Even though she shook her head, Yuan decided to take a small break at the Mocking Mountain Range.

As they approached the mountains, Yuan was struck by sudden chills, almost as though his instincts were warning him.

Suddenly, on the other side of the mountain range, a shadowy figure emerged from the ground, quickly rising toward the heavens.

"Brother Yuan, we need to leave immediately!" Xiao Hua suddenly shouted with a rare nervous look on her face.

This shadowy figure took on the form of a human, but its entire essence seemed to be composed of the same black fog that enshrouded the entirety of the Vanishing Valley. Upon closer inspection, one could discern black fog oozing from its body.

Whatever this entity was, it evidently served as the source of the black fog.

"Just what is that thing?" Yuan asked as they turned around and flew away.

"I don't know. I have never seen anything like that before, but my instincts were telling me to stay away from it…" Xiao Hua said, her voice still a little shaky.

"It looked like it crawled out of the ground. Let's wait for it to leave before we go back there." Yuan said.

"Un." Xiao Hua nodded.

They waited a few days to see if the shadowy entity would leave, but it barely moved from its position. As he stared at the shadowy entity from a safe distance, Yuan got the feeling that he'd seen such an entity before.

'That's right! The Colossal on the Desolate Continent had a similar appearance! Does that mean this shadowy entity was created by someone with the purpose of guarding something?' Yuan wondered to himself.

'No… there's no way someone could've created this monster. Even if they did, why would they leave it here?'

Eventually, the shadow entity left the Mocking Mountain Range, allowing Yuan and Xiao Hua to approach the place once again. Even though they could've left at any time, Yuan wanted to see if the shadowy entity had left anything behind.
