After Zhang Yue returned to the country, he appeared directly in the wild areas of the World 12.
He spent an entire afternoon clearing out hundreds of thousands of sin points. Logging off just in time for dinner.
At this moment, Ice Emperor suddenly called.
Even someone as high-profile as the Ice Emperor showed Zhang Yue the utmost respect: ["I wonder if you're busy right now, I hope I didn't disturb you?"]
["Not at all,"] Zhang Yue said kindly. ["I'm just having dinner."]
The Ice Emperor continued,["I'll keep it brief then."]
["I had someone thoroughly investigate the World 15. Indeed, there is a secret about the interdimensional passage there. However, this secret is suppressed within the four major clans. To access it, you need to complete several extremely challenging missions. With the current strength of the professionals in the World 15, it's temporarily impossible to finish those tasks."]
Zhang Yue understood what Ice Emperor meant and said, ["Alright, leave it to me. I'll deal with it when I get to the World 15."]
["Okay, when you get there, I'll share the details of how to trigger the missions."]
["Also, be cautious. The invasion frequency of the Eastern Nation players has been too high these past couple of days. Stay alert for their ambushes."]
After hanging up, Zhang Yue felt the weight on his chest lift.
After all, relying solely on the Heart of the Ocean skill was not a long-term solution to deal with the Eastern Nation.
This was because the Heart of the Ocean's Raging Waves skill could only be used once every 12 hours.
But the Eastern Nation's invasion frequency? At least a hundred times within 12 hours.
Once the interdimensional passage is opened, Zhang Yue will have a thousand ways to erase the Eastern Nation from this world.
So the top priority was to advance to the World 15 as soon as possible.
Of course, before that, there was still the World 14 to tackle.

After dinner, Zhang Yue logged into the Otherworld.
[Ding~ Welcome to the World 14: Heaven and Hell. The World Mission has been released]
WHOA!
As white light scattered, Zhang Yue descended into a massive camp.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[World 14 · Heaven and Hell]
[Background: A thought of heaven, a thought of hell. Once you choose to stand in heaven, you have an obligation to fight against the demons in hell. Otherwise, one day, these demons will devour the entire world...]
[World Mission 1: Accumulate 10,000 demon kills (Progress: 0/10,000)]
[World Mission 2: Accumulate 1,000 kills of Tier 4 or higher demons (Progress: 0/1,000)]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The background of this world seemed straightforward and clear. Not complicated.
Just pure monster hunting. Nothing else to worry about.
Exactly as Zhang Yue wanted. This way, he could clear the World 14 as quickly as possible.
Starting from the World 10, Zhang Yue began to see some old professionals returning to past worlds.
The higher the world level, the more old professionals there were.
By the World 14, the safe zone at the Dawn Camp was already crowded with many professionals.
For ordinary people, the Level 81–85 demons in the World 14 weren't easy to deal with.
Especially the higher-tier demons.
Indeed, the demons in Heaven and Hell weren't just categorized by level but also divided into seven tiers.
The higher the tier, the stronger the demons' abilities.
Moreover, the World 14 had a special feature: defeating demons would drop corresponding demon cores.
These demon cores could be exchanged with Angel Mia at the Dawn Camp for a rare set of equipment: the Demon Slayer set.
The higher the tier of the demon core, the higher the star level of the Demon Slayer set you could exchange for.
The Demon Slayer set ranged from a minimum of 9 stars to a maximum of 12 stars in strength.
For Zhang Yue, the World 14 was truly heaven.
A personal paradise.
This was because Zhang Yue could use the 12-star Demon Slayer gear from this world to upgrade his Transcendent Set.
Currently, his Transcendent Set was just at 11 stars. He could use 10–12 star Demon Slayer gear to enhance it to 12 stars.
Then use 11–12 star Demon Slayer gear to enhance it to 13 stars.
Finally, use 12-star Demon Slayer gear to enhance it to 14 stars...
This meant Zhang Yue's Transcendent Set could undergo three upgrades in the World 14.
Such a rare opportunity—Zhang Yue couldn't afford to miss it.
Otherwise, if even his three sons outshone him, Zhang Yue wouldn't be able to hold his head up anymore.
Exiting the northern gate of the Dawn Camp, Zhang Yue stepped into the wildlands.
Outside the camp, the air was polluted, black clouds swirled, and thunder roared across the sky. Dark energy floated ominously.
In the wild, many professionals were grouping up to hunt demons.
Zhang Yue had no interest in these low-level demons.
According to the guide specially prepared for him by Ouyang Ling'er, Zhang Yue headed straight toward Heavenly Demon Abyss, north of the Dawn Camp.
The guide recorded: As the most challenging Level 85 dungeon in the World 14, the lowest-tier demons in Heavenly Demon Abyss were Tier 3.
Tier 5, Tier 6, even Tier 7 demons were countless in number.
Because these demons were so high-tiered and powerful, most people didn't dare venture into Heavenly Demon Abyss lightly.
But what Zhang Yue sought were the high-tier demon cores dropped by these powerful demons.
On his way to the Heavenly Demon Abyss, his guild chat buzzed with activity.
Star Sparks Fire: ["It's strange. Have you guys noticed? Ever since our guild leader returned from Eastern Nation this afternoon, the Eastern Nation haven't tried to invade our Dragon Nation again?"]
One Night Stand: ["Would they dare? If they come again, our leader will beat them so badly they'll forget their own names!"]
Liyue: ["Something feels off. A woman's intuition tells me they're not going to let this go so easily!"]
Ouyang Ling'er: ["+1! Those little bastards are probably plotting something. They're definitely waiting for the right moment to strike!"]
Wu Haotian: ["Who cares? Soon enough, our boss will crack the interdimensional passage secret in the World 15 and open the door to every nation's Otherworld passage. In such a short time, they won't be able to pull off anything big!"]
———
Zhang Yue closed the guild chat.
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
Looking ahead, he saw a massive gate radiating endless dark energy.
A powerful and evil aura emanated from within.
It was clear that no other professionals were nearby.
The difficulty of Heavenly Demon Abyss was well-known. Few dared come here seeking death.
Zhang Yue, however, didn't hesitate. Gripping his Transcendent Staff, he stepped into the Gate of the Abyss.
[Ding~ Welcome to the dungeon [Heavenly Demon Abyss]]
As the system prompt sounded, Zhang Yue found himself in an endless dark city.
Within the city, countless dark energies floated around.
Many of these energies were surrounded by blue or purple lightning, indicating their exceptionally high tiers.
Zhang Yue raised his staff and summoned his three sons.
'Time to get to work!'
