Chapter 73 Forbidden Emperor

"Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron"

...

Upon seeing the handsome young man appear, the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle, the Heaven-Patrolling Sword, the Demon Ancestor's Incarnation, and Yan Tianpo displayed varying expressions—some surprised, some angry, some happy, and some disappointed.

The Heaven-Stabilizing Needle was undoubtedly the most disappointed of the four, for with the appearance of the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, a seven-colored radiance followed closely behind, covering the sky and earth, its vast and sacred aura permeating all directions. After a brief moment of distraction, the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle looked with affection at the charming figure behind the seven-colored radiance.

The Heaven-Patrolling Sword, however, was the happiest of the four, for the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron and the Heaven-Refining Furnace were all familiar faces, their strength no less than their own. With allies coming to their aid, even if the true form of the Hun Dun Demon Ancestor broke free of its seal and joined forces with Yan Tianpo at her peak, they might not be a match for their four-person alliance.

The Demon Ancestor's Incarnation and Yan Tianpo exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of surprise, anger, and above all, helplessness. The four divine weapons before him were all ancient, forbidden sacred artifacts, their power, once cultivated into human form, was even more overwhelming, rivaling even his own. In a one-on-one fight, he might have a chance of victory, but with all four joining forces, what chance did he have? Let alone the current state of Yan Tianpo, who hadn't yet recovered to her full strength, or the sealed incarnation of the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun, even if the two of them were at their peak, they would only be able to flee.

This was no joke. The combined might of these four heaven-defying sacred artifacts was something perhaps only a Heaven-Defying Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Sovereign level could withstand. Two Heaven-Defying Venerables of equal strength were no match for them.

The Demon Ancestor's incarnation and Yan Tianpo, the instant the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron and Heaven-Refining Furnace appeared, simultaneously withdrew from the outer reaches of Earth and entered the vast universe.

"Damn it, with so many immortal beings in the Eastern Heavenly Realm, is my Western Heavenly Realm truly doomed to never rise again?" The Illusionary God Demon Lord lamented as he observed the several rebellious beings above the Sun Kingdom through the Mystic Mirror.

"Even a supreme incarnation like the Hun Dun Demon Ancestor had to retreat. It seems our plan to destroy the world and reincarnate is truly doomed to fail. Alas, I am truly unwilling to accept this," Zeus chimed in.

"Damn it, what time is it? Still thinking about destroying the world? Are you an idiot? Not to mention the immortal beings of the Eastern Heavenly Realm wouldn't agree, even in my Western Heavenly Realm, not many gods would agree," Allah said sarcastically. "What's all the fuss about?

All you babbling on and on, you can't come up with a single idea. Being with you pigheads is truly painful," Brahma shook his three large heads, appearing extremely distressed.

"You think you're so great? You got beaten to a pulp by a mere monkey, and you still have the nerve to curse people here? If I were you, I'd be dead and reincarnated long ago!" Jehovah retorted.

"You bastard, with the Illusionary Demon Lord as your father, you think you're so powerful, but when you came to the mortal realm, you were burned to charcoal by lowly humans!" Brahma roared.

"You bastard..." Jehovah was also furious.

...

The two immediately engaged in another verbal battle. The Illusionary Demon Lord, Zeus, and Allah exchanged helpless glances, their eyes instantly revealing wariness, hatred, and disdain as they stood on three sides. Although there was hostility between them, there was no intention to fight.

Ever since Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Western Lands, the major Western gods had been terrified by this monkey from the East. His indomitable aura and unwavering fighting spirit before him terrified many Western gods even in their dreams.

When Lin Yuan escaped from the Yan Kong Cave Heaven, he deliberately shattered the void, revealing himself in the Western Realm and attracting destructive energy attacks from the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun, Yan Tian Po, and Sun Wukong. With the successive returns of the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle, the Heaven-Patrolling Sword, the Heaven-Refining Furnace, and the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, the gods of the Western Realm were filled with dread. Finally, they temporarily set aside their grudges accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years and formed an alliance.

The Buddha of the Western Heaven and the Jade Emperor of the Nine Heavens breathed a sigh of relief. With the four heaven-defying sacred artifacts guarding the Eastern Heaven and Human Realms, even if the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun returned, how could he shake their power? Moreover, the Eastern Land still had several reclusive emperors who had lived in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, as well as the soon-to-return Mother Earth Nuwa and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. Looking across the vast universe, how many could rival them?

"A brat who never grows up is just that—a brat. The Four Heavenly Artifacts? Hmph, a million years ago, perhaps I would have been a little wary. Now, even with the Heaven-Opening Axe and the Nine Heavens Prism, they're nothing to me. What are they? Do they think I, the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun, am a pushover? What good will Nuwa and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's return do? No one can stop my return, my world-destroying saga!"

At this moment, a cold yet melodious snort resounded throughout heaven and earth, causing the faces of all the gods of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens to change. This...this Demon Ancestor Hun Dun is too arrogant! She hasn't even broken free of her seal yet, and she dares to despise several of the most powerful beings in the world. Does she really think she's the sole ruler?

The Tathagata of the Western Paradise and the Jade Emperor, upon hearing this, also looked extremely uncomfortable. As the emperor recognized by all the gods of the Three Realms, to be called a brat who never grows up—where does that leave his old face? Of course, theoretically speaking, Hun Dun Demon Ancestor was fully qualified, but he couldn't be completely disrespectful. Even so, the two were still powerful figures who dominated their respective regions. "

Who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think you're the only forbidden emperor? I despise you! You...!" The Western Paradise Buddha and the Jade Emperor cursed inwardly, but outwardly maintained a composed demeanor. The two cunning old foxes weren't fools either. Through the Xuan Guang Mirror, they clearly saw the solemn expressions on the faces of the four—the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle, the Heaven-Patrolling Sword, the Heaven-Refining Furnace, and the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron—when they heard Hun Dun Demon Ancestor's rebuke. They knew then that Hun Dun Demon Ancestor's words were true; even the four heaven-defying sacred artifacts combined might not be his match. Neither of them dared to show the slightest disrespect.

They dared not forget that when Lin Yuan escaped from the Yan Kong Cave Heaven, a casual probing attack from Hun Dun Demon Ancestor's avatar had reduced the Western Heaven Realm, which had dominated the Western Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, to cosmic dust. Although the Eastern Celestial Realm has regained the four forbidden sacred artifacts and has the Nine Provinces Barrier as a protective shield, who knows if the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun, in a fit of rage, would still exist if he unleashed a full-force attack? Before absolute sovereign power, all the strong are merely ants, utterly vulnerable.

"Don't speak too soon. Don't think that just because the Great Ancestor Pangu gave you the Heaven-Opening Axe, you can be invincible. Hmph, the Eastern Celestial Realm is not to be trifled with. If you return, then bring it on!"

A melodious, cold snort followed.

"The Heaven-Opening Axe is in her hands? Are you kidding me?"

"The Great Ancestor Pangu still exists? Did I hear wrong?"

"Weren't the Demon Ancestor Hun Dun and the Great Ancestor Pangu mortal enemies? Why didn't the Great Ancestor Pangu kill her, but instead gave her the Heaven-Opening Axe?"

"Could that melodious voice just now have been the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? Is she returning too?"

...

Exclamations of surprise rang out. In different spaces, all the powerful supreme beings simultaneously probed this place with their divine senses.

"Why bother? Why bother? When emotions stir, is it necessary to face each other to the death? We are all supreme emperors who have transcended the rules of heaven and earth. What is there that we can't let go of?"

"Sigh..."

Two soft sighs rang out simultaneously in the fortieth layer of heaven. A handsome young man embraced a beautiful young woman, gazing at each other with tenderness mixed with a hint of bitterness and worry.

"Pangu, the Great Ancestor God of Creation, risked his life to atone for his sins. Could it be that even after all these years, he still couldn't extinguish the anger in the Venerable One's heart?" the beautiful girl sighed. "Brother Kaitian, you're still the best to me. Every time I see the Venerable One alone and in pain, I feel sorry for her and also feel pain, but I can't really give her the help she needs. Alas, am I really useless?"

"Sister Mietian, this is none of your business. Feelings depend on your attitude towards her. If your heart is filled with hatred, no matter how good others are to you or how much they give you, it will never bring you happiness. If your heart is filled with love and compassion, even if the other party is utterly wicked, they are still forgivable. Perhaps that's how the Great Ancestor Pangu felt towards the Venerable One. In truth, we only cultivated into human form from their sacred artifacts. Feelings are hard-won, so why bother with the affairs of their masters? Everyone has their own choices; let them be." The handsome young man sighed softly.

"Pangu, do you think that by perishing and passing on your power of creation to me, you can atone for your sins? Hmph, I once said that unless the Great Universe is destroyed and reborn again, I will not forgive you. Otherwise, don't even think about it..."

As if hearing the whispers from the Fortieth Heaven, the sealed Hun Dun Demon Ancestor snorted coldly. Within the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Nuwa sighed softly at the same time. In

the Human Realm, at the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance,

Lin Yuan felt a wave of frustration. The real world is changing too fast!

How did ancient myths and legends, passed down from 53,000 years in the future, suddenly become reality? Pangu, Nuwa, the seemingly random Hun Dun Demon Ancestor, the three souls and seven spirits of the Heavenly Emperor, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Primordial Holy Emperor Xuanyuan, the barely passable Jade Emperor, and the Western Paradise Buddha—all have jumped onto the stage, stirring up trouble in Earth's 21st century. What's even more unacceptable, yet undeniable, is that some ancient weapons forged from scrap iron have also strangely cultivated human forms, transforming into supreme beings defying the heavens. How can this war be fought? He

originally thought that in the great cosmic era 53,000 years in the future, powers similar to the gods in ancient myths and legends would appear. Unexpectedly, in this backward Earth republic, he, an unlucky time traveler, has encountered these legendary figures. Is it luck or tragedy? Will history be rewritten? "

They were supposed to be awe-inspiring throughout the Three Realms, it's a miracle they weren't wiped out. To even think of provoking them is just courting death." A sense of frustration instantly rose in Lin Yuan's heart.

Chapter 74 Forced Back to Qin

"The world is about to descend into chaos, with constant hidden dangers. Those who don't need to exist in this space should go back to where they came from,"

said the Town-Suppressing Cauldron, glancing indifferently at his old friend.

"You mean to forcibly force them to leave Earth, or open a time tunnel to send them back to their original space?" The Refining Heaven Furnace gazed at him with beautiful eyes, speaking softly.

The Town-Suppressing Cauldron nodded slightly, its tiger eyes also filled with tenderness, making the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle standing to the side feel extremely uncomfortable.

"In that case, I'll go drive them away," said the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle calmly, its figure instantly disappearing before the two.

Sorry, Lin Yuan, you'd better run away quickly, or I'll definitely find someone to vent my anger on. The Sky-Patrolling Sword observed the reactions of the three with great interest, noticing that the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle was showing signs of going berserk. Remembering Lin Yuan's past assistance, it quickly transmitted its thoughts telepathically.

In the mortal realm, at the Merchant Alliance headquarters, Lin Yuan was suddenly and indirectly received a telepathic message from the Sky-Patrolling Sword. He was instantly furious. It seemed the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle was truly using him as a punching bag. He didn't have the ability to deceive the Heaven-Refining Furnace's sister, and his beloved had been taken away by the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, so he was venting his anger on him. What did this mean?

"Lin Le, do you think there's any way to teach that inflexible piece of scrap metal a lesson?" Now that the pretense was over, Lin Yuan had no more scruples. The Heaven-Stabilizing Needle was just a piece of scrap metal anyway; what was there to hide?

"No, even the two of us combined are no match for it," Lin Le replied decisively.

"What about the Time-Space Conversion Device?" Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and asked.

"I accidentally broke it. To travel back to our era through the time tunnel, I'll have to rely on my own extraordinary power," Lin Le said helplessly.

"Are you kidding me? You managed to break such an important instrument? Extraordinary power? With my current life energy level, I'm barely at the peak of the Emperor realm. How many years would it take to reach that extraordinary level? There are several major energy levels in between. Don't even mention me; even if you're a genius, it would take thousands of years to reach that level. Do you think you're some kind of Pangu or Emperor Tian?"

Lin Yuan roared in anger. Without the time-space converter, there was no power to freely travel through time. Although he knew that the people with the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle didn't intend to kill him—at worst, he'd just get a beating and be stuffed into the time tunnel—it was still unpleasant to be the young master of a powerful family from a future Great Universe, beaten up and thrown into the time tunnel like a dead dog. While he really wanted to leave, couldn't he at least leave in a more dignified way, preserving some dignity?

"There's nothing I can do about it. That piece of scrap metal is coming soon. Brother, be prepared to be beaten." Lin Le spread his hands helplessly and said, "How about I go look for it in other boundaries." As he said that, he turned into golden light and flew away in the air.

"You bastard, you ran away so unfaithfully. I'm really pissed off." Lin Yuan savored Lin Le's sly smile as he looked back before flying away, and finally realized what it means to play. This brat had lost his time and space converter. He was clearly hiding it just to see his jokes. Just as

Lin Yuan was about to fly after him, a colorful ray of light suddenly appeared.

"Refining, Heavenly Refining Furnace" Lin Yuan saw the person in front of him clearly and stuttered before finding his voice.

This girl is so beautiful. She is truly worthy of being Mother Earth's favorite magic weapon. She has been carefully cared for by Nuwa for many years, and is somewhat tainted with Nuwa's soul. Nuwa, the Mother of the Earth, the embodiment of beauty in the Three Realms, Six Paths, and Nine Heavens, possesses a certain beauty in every woman on Earth. She is the source of all female beauty, the revered mother goddess whom all women admire for eternity.

Lin Yuan was momentarily dazzled, only regaining his senses after a while. It was truly fortunate that Lin Yuan now possessed the qualities to become the Demon Lord; otherwise, a single glance from her would have condemned him to eternal damnation. Nuwa's beauty was beyond description in mortal words; the beauty she unintentionally exuded was absolutely fatal to men. Although the Heaven-Refining Furnace, formed from her essence and holy breath, did not possess her fatal beauty, it was still a deadly presence for mortal men.

Lin Yuan muttered to himself, "Didn't the Heaven-Patrolling Sword say that the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle was coming to cause me trouble? Why is it the Heaven-Refining Furnace coming in person? Is it trying to seduce me? Impossible, I don't have their level of strength. Would she be moved by me, indulging in wishful thinking? Would she drive me away? Probably." However, being chased by a beautiful woman is better than being chased by a man.

"You should know why I'm here," the Refining Furnace said

bluntly. "Yes, I know. I'll leave immediately," Lin Yuan replied just as readily.

"Do you want to return to the future, or go back to the ancient dynasty?" the Refining Furnace asked calmly.

"I want to return to the future, but unfortunately, I have some important matters to attend to and must return to the ancient dynasty. Will you stop me?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at her.

"In truth, I should stop you, but I also know that fate cannot be defied. Although we have both advanced to the Heaven-Defying Realm, some things are still beyond our control, at least for now," the Refining Furnace said calmly.

"Thank you," Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

"No need. I'm just following my instincts. You can go now, but I think we'll meet again soon," the Refining Furnace said calmly.

"Oh, really?" Lin Yuan's curiosity was piqued, and he was about to ask further.

"You don't need to ask so many questions. Everything is preordained. Even someone as powerful as us has to follow certain rules." Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to ask, the Refining Furnace calmly stopped him and said, "As for your younger brother, you will meet him in another space, but not now. It may be in ancient times or in the future. Anyway, we are all a group of people who defy the heavens, and so are you."

A dazzling golden light swept past, and Lin Yuan felt a blur before his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly found himself in a time-space tunnel in the void. "

Are you kidding me?" Lin Yuan realized he was starting to use that phrase as a catchphrase. Was this Heaven-Refining Furnace really that terrifying? With a casual wave of its hand, he hadn't even had time to react before he was thrown into the time-space tunnel. It was even more terrifying than the Time-Space Converter. He wondered how it had managed to do that. "

Looks like I'd better work harder," he thought. "Damn it, a backward Earth can actually produce so many terrifyingly powerful old immortals. Who knows if I'll encounter even more powerful monsters in the next dimension?"

Lost in thought, Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse under his breath. The great chaos of the 21st century—he hadn't even had a chance to participate. Wasn't that a bit of a pity? He felt like a deserter, kicked into the next dimension just as the great war was about to erupt. How despicable!

Lin Le is really something. He's made the global power structure chaotic, then just ran away, leaving no one to clean up the mess. What will the final outcome be? Will the chaos in the world bring a huge shockwave to the human realm?

He himself was kicked into the time portal, and Long Xiaofei, who possesses the power of the Dragon Source, and Fang Xielong, who wields the Evil Dragon Technique, will certainly not escape unscathed. As for whether Li Xiaolong, who possesses technology beyond his time, will survive, only a genius knows. Feng Hanxiao has no supernatural abilities; perhaps he will be the biggest beneficiary of this ridiculous battle. Hmm, and so will Bian Wu and Shi Kai from the Black List.

No, I still need to come back. How can I forget those pure, kind, and beautiful wives? Although we only spent a short time together, feelings still remain. Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of the women who had briefly appeared in his life after his several bouts of amnesia. Some were from the 21st century, and some were from the Qin Dynasty before the 21st century.

Since indifference is gone, why not embrace tenderness? Even with a lifetime of glory and dominance across all realms, why should one refuse the heat when one's heart is tempered by ice?

Lin Yuan's mind was filled with countless thoughts when an unparalleled force suddenly struck, instantly blasting him out of the time tunnel.

*Thud!*

Quite unseemly, Lin Yuan was completely overwhelmed by this powerful force, landing hard on the ground from the heavens—or, to put it more politely, *overly enthusiastic*, or, to put it bluntly, *a hungry dog throwing itself at excrement*.

Such a powerful figure, making such a grand entrance, truly unbelievable. Lin Yuan rubbed his dazed face, thinking unhappily,

"Where am I? Could I have returned to the Qin Dynasty?"

He muttered to himself, looking around; the area within a thousand miles was desolate and uninhabited. A divine sense spread infinitely, instantly revealing the entire space.

"Ah, it really is the Qin Dynasty! Hahaha, hahaha, I've finally returned! Qin Dynasty, my dear wives, I, the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, have returned to Qin!"

Lin Yuan roared triumphantly, his voice echoing across the land, the wind and clouds changing color. A vast, sacred aura, mixed with a powerful, alluring charm, swept across the heavens and earth.

"He's back!"

"No way, so fast! A year earlier than the five-year period the Time-Space Priest mentioned. Could he have miscalculated?"

"What level has his strength reached now? I'm really looking forward to it."

...

Several different voices came from different places, but they all conveyed the same message. Lin Yuan, the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, the most handsome man in the martial world, whose name resounded throughout the chaotic space-time, had finally returned, coming back from the chaotic sealed space.

"Hmph, you're back. I'll see how long you can be so smug."

In the Zhao Kingdom, atop the clouds, a peerless, majestic figure exuded an aura of supreme power, coldly laughing. In

the 21st century, as if sensing what was about to happen here, Nuwa, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and the Heaven-Refining Furnace simultaneously let out a soft sigh.

Long Xiaofei, the former ruler of the Five Realms, was now living a miserable life. After Lin Yuan was thrown into the time tunnel by the Heaven-Refining Furnace, he was immediately 'taken care' of by the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle. After a brutal beating, he was kicked into an unknown space. Perhaps, he would have a chance to meet Lin Yuan again in the future. However, at this moment, neither of them could imagine how their fate would change.

When Fang Xielong was struck into the time tunnel by the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, he only kept sneering, as if he had a premonition. The moment Lin Yuan returned to the Great Qin, after his wild roar, a strange sense of unease arose in his heart. Little did he know that it was precisely this unease that would later cause his ruthless and heartless nature at a certain stage.

After the mortal realm lost the suppression of forbidden figures like the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, the Merchant Emperor, Fang Xielong, and Long Xiaofei, Feng Hanxiao was finally able to catch his breath. Taking advantage of this, he joined forces with the remnants of the Dragon Gang and the Demonic Sect to reclaim most of their lost territories. Li Xiaolong, not to be outdone, once again swept the world with

his alien technology surpassing that of his contemporaries. Because Lin Le left behind a large number of super-evolved talents and several early-stage life energy users evolved from superhumans to govern the Merchant Alliance and assist the Lin family, led by Lin Xiaotian in the 21st century, their power and wealth did not decline due to the attacks of Feng Hanxiao and Li Xiaolong. Under the leadership of Long Xing and Wen Ziyan, they grew increasingly powerful in the East.

As for the remnants left by Fang Xielong, Long Xiaofei, and others, their wives and loyal subordinates naturally took care of them, preventing a significant decline in their power during the war.

With the sudden return of Shi Kai and Wu Lie and their participation in the Black List, the Black List once again seized the opportunity to sweep the world, becoming the dominant force.

The Western Celestial Realm, having reunited with the return of the four forbidden sacred artifacts of the Eastern Celestial Realm, no longer harbored any ambition to venture into the Eastern Celestial Realm and evolve the cycle of world destruction.

Volume 3,

Chapter 1: A Beauty's Waiting.

Lin Yuan, eyeing the direction of the Heavenly Gift City, took flight and soared through the air.

"Emperor, may I speak with you in private?"

A gentle voice sounded behind him; Lin Yuan was already tens of thousands of feet away. It was truly fortunate that his current power and realm were vastly different from before; his powerful divine sense allowed him to clearly hear all the commotion within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Ah, it's you! How did you get here?" Before the gentle voice faded, a flash of purple light appeared, and Lin Yuan was back in his original spot. He recognized the person and exclaimed in surprise.

"Since you can appear here, why can't I?" the person said with a smile.

"That's not what I meant. You can go wherever you want; no one will stop you. What I find strange is how you happened to be here, and I just happened to be here too. Don't tell me you waited here specifically for me; that would make me feel too honored," Lin Yuan said with a faint smile. "

As you say, I did wait here for you. Half a month ago, the Time-Space Priest predicted you would appear here. I've been waiting here for half a month to see you. Your Majesty, you should indeed feel honored. This is the first time in my life I've waited for someone like this," the newcomer chuckled.

"Oh, really? Even Ye Yuchangsheng doesn't have this honor? Don't tempt me anymore. I can't resist the temptation of any beautiful woman, especially a woman as intelligent and stunningly beautiful as you."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly, then his expression turned serious. He said, "Alright, Chief Huang Rong, enough with the nonsense. Just tell me why you're waiting for me here. I don't believe you'd wait here aimlessly just because I've returned. Who are you? One of the most renowned women in the chaotic martial world, the former number one beauty of the Central Plains, your intelligence and talent are unparalleled among women, and your willpower is far beyond that of ordinary beauties. Don't tell me you've fallen for me or anything like that. I don't believe it."

"Why, after disappearing for four years, and with your strength reaching the forbidden realm of the chaotic spacetime, have you become so suspicious? Actually, I came here this time with no real purpose."

The newcomer was none other than Huang Rong, one of the most famous beauties in the chaotic martial arts world, daughter of Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the past. She was once the wife of Guo Jing, the Northern Hero, but was later betrayed and married by Ye Yuchangsheng in the 'Illusion Plan,' causing a great sensation in the chaotic spacetime.

Her beauty and intelligence made her one of the few extraordinary women in the chaotic spacetime capable of reaching the top of the Supreme Ranking. On the night of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, vying for the Supreme Ranking, she appeared briefly at the summit of Mount Hua alongside Ye Yuchangsheng, giving Lin Yuan a visual shock. Her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains was well-deserved. Her stunning, exquisite, and beautiful appearance was a masterpiece sculpted by heaven. Compared to the pure and innocent Little Dragon Girl, she possessed a more refined charm; compared to the aloof and powerful Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, Ren Yingying

, she had a more captivating allure; compared to the ethereal Wang Yuyan, she possessed a more alluring charm. She might not be the most beautiful woman in the world, but she was certainly the most bewitching. Huang Rong looked at Lin Yuan and sighed softly, saying, "During the four years you disappeared, many great things happened in the chaotic martial world. Didn't you know? The City of Heavenly Gifts is no longer your world. The Time-Space Priest hopes you will abandon everything in the mortal realm and go to the Heavenly Realm. She will give you everything you need, even herself."

"The Heavenly Realm, the Time-Space Priest, giving me everything I need? Hmph, is there such a cheap thing in the world? I am not the only handsome man, nor the only forbidden figure. The conditions offered by the Time-Space Priest are far too generous. What use am I to her? Could all of this be a scheme orchestrated by the Heavenly Emperor hiding in the Heavenly Realm?" Lin Yuan recalled his past, being sealed in the 21st century, and sneered.

"Why do you say that, Your Majesty? Have you discovered something?" Huang Rong asked calmly, her beautiful face revealing no emotion.

"I haven't discovered much, just that this world seems a bit strange," Lin Yuan replied calmly. Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal his secrets. Although the woman before him had once captivated him, he couldn't reveal his true thoughts. After his journey through the 21st century, Lin Yuan's state of mind had undergone a significant change.

Reappearing in this space, aside from a few realms, under his powerful divine sense, what secrets could this world hold for him?

"The Time-Space Priest, heh heh, to put it bluntly, he just wants to recruit me as the Heavenly Realm's chief henchman. I didn't expect the family's rival forces to have reached here so quickly," Lin Yuan sneered inwardly.

Ye Yuchangsheng, backed by a powerful member of the Lin family, a royal clan of the Great Universe Federation in later generations, openly established the Shengtian True Martial Realm, neither seeking sainthood nor respecting Heaven, and calling himself the Shengtian Emperor. Ironically, his boundary was a dimensional space created by a powerful member of the Lin family, completely unrelated to Ye Yuchangsheng, and given his current strength, it was impossible for him to achieve that.

This sudden situation was naturally unacceptable to the Heavenly Realm and the Holy Realm. Having provoked a world-destroying attack, they not only escaped annihilation unscathed thanks to the intervention of a powerful member of the Lin family, but even managed to storm the Heavenly Court, causing great chaos in both the Heavenly and Human Realms.

Forbidden-level martial arts masters like Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Ximen Chuixue broke free from their seals and entered the Holy Realm, further disrupting the already unrest in the Heavenly Court caused by the Lin family's power. Dugu Qiubai and the others miraculously broke through their cultivation bottlenecks within the seal, entering the True Martial Realm—a heaven-defying power capable of resisting the might of heaven and earth. The Heavenly Realm was also alarmed by the Holy Realm's resurgence.

With the rise of the True Martial Realm and the Holy Realm, another supreme being from the Lin family, a powerful clan of the Great Universe Federation of the future, suddenly appeared, making a high-profile entrance and dominating the Heavenly Palace. The gods submitted, and a great war for supremacy erupted in the Three Realms, barely managing to even the score. However, during this war, Huang Rong, for reasons unknown, betrayed her second husband again, joining the Heavenly Realm. Because of her joining, she received a gift from the supreme being of the Lin family, inheriting life energy and becoming one of the few martial arts supreme beings in the chaotic spacetime close to breaking through to the True Martial Realm.

As Lin Yuan's return approached, a sense of unease began to stir in the Three Realms. According to the two supreme beings of the Lin family, Lin Yuan was the key figure in deciding this war for supremacy. Someone who is being heavily trained by a family, even if currently weak, could very well become a formidable figure in the future. Who wouldn't want to recruit him before he reveals his true potential?

Unfortunately, the chaos of spacetime makes the impossible possible. Judging from Lin Yuan's previous progress, he wouldn't achieve anything significant for at least a thousand years, nor would he be able to break through to the Heavenly Energy Realm.

The Lin Clan's cultivation levels are divided into thirteen realms: Super Evolver, Life Energy Realm, Ghost Energy Realm, Great Soul Power Realm, Heavenly Energy Realm, Celestial Realm, Heavenly King Realm, Heavenly Emperor Realm, Heavenly Venerable Realm, Chaos Realm, Vacuum Realm, and Nothingness Realm. Each realm is further divided into three tiers: Ocean Awakener, Earth Awakener, and Sky Awakener. The first five realms require a gradual, step-by-step progression, but the latter seven realms depend on individual intelligence and talent; those with more aptitude or better opportunities can achieve leapfrog advancement.

The two supreme experts of the Lin Clan could easily subdue Lin Yuan, and they intended to do so.

The moment Lin Yuan returned to the Great Qin, his powerful divine sense absorbed everything into his mind. As the inheritor of the Heavenly Legacy, his strength, under Yan Tianpo's deliberate modification, had already broken through to the level of a Heavenly Energy user. His strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, almost catching up with the two powerful family members. How could he, and how could he, willingly be driven by others?

Therefore, even though he still harbored feelings for the Time-Space Priestess, Huang Rong, he refused to compromise.

"Chief Huang, don't look at me with those affectionate eyes anymore. My answer will disappoint you." Lin Yuan shook his head, clearing his mind of the chaotic thoughts swirling around him, and said calmly.

"The Time-Space Priestess didn't force you. She just said that when you've thought it through and are willing to agree, the Heavenly Realm will still welcome you at any time. Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry to make a decision?" Huang Rong chuckled.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Lin Yuan said expressionlessly, and without waiting for Huang Rong's response, he flew away.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you for a favor?" Huang Rong's gentle voice sounded behind Lin Yuan.

"Speak," Lin Yuan's figure vanished from Huang Rong's sight, but his powerful divine voice echoed from afar. Facing this woman he had once been attracted to, Lin Yuan found himself unable to find a reason to refuse.

"If the City of Heavenly Gifts has undergone an anomaly, and you have nowhere to go, I hope you will think of coming to me immediately. I will be waiting for you in the Heavenly Realm."

"We'll talk about it then. If I see your daughter, Guo Fu, I will take care of her for you."

Lin Yuan's calm and collected words drifted back from afar. Huang Rong was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly. Lin Yuan had disappeared for four years, yet his cultivation had advanced to such a terrifying degree. Her original intention was to ask Lin Yuan to help find Guo Fu, but at the last moment, she realized it was inappropriate. She had no connection with Lin Yuan; why should she ask him to help find her daughter? In a flash, she changed her words to pleading with Lin Yuan to come and find her. Little did she know that Lin Yuan's powerful divine sense could freely enter the minds of others and obtain the information she needed. Her slight hesitation could not escape the notice of Lin Yuan, whose heart was still tied to her.

Chapter 2: The Heavenly Blessing

"Husband"

"Husband, you've finally returned."

"I thought you didn't want us anymore."

...

As Lin Yuan flew close to the Heavenly Blessing City, several soft calls rang out. Looking towards the sound, he saw the one leading the way was the beautiful silkworm maiden he had longed for, followed by Liang Chen, Mei Jing, and other women. Each of them could fly through the air, hovering motionless high in the sky. It seemed that during his four-year absence, their strength had greatly improved, and they had broken through to the level of Awakened Ones of the Sea of Life Energy. Cultivating life energy, at the initial level, that is, the Awakened Ones of the Sea of Life Energy, allows one to fly freely without any support.

"Why are you here? Have you been watching over your husband here every day for the past five years?"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed to see his wives arrive. The appearance of Huang Rong and the negative news circulating in the world were all forgotten. Nothing was more important than reuniting with his wives.

It was Lin Yuan's bad luck that he thought he had reached the level of Heavenly Energy, and that few in the chaotic spacetime could rival him. He didn't consider that only four years had passed since he returned to the 21st century and then back to the Qin Dynasty. Mei Can Niang, Liang Chen, and Mei Jing were all ancient people. Even with exceptional talent, it was impossible for a super-evolver to break through to the realm of life energy in such a short time. Lin Le was hailed by the Lin family as one of their most outstanding geniuses. It took him three years to advance from a Super Evolver to the Life Energy Realm. Of course, even with that, he needed a supreme master and a suitable environment for cultivation. Mei Can Niang and the others, in terms of intelligence, cultivation progress, and the right environment, clearly lacked these conditions.

"Husband

..."

His tender words concealed a hidden, immense killing intent.

"Thud thud thud..."

Just as Lin Yuan was gently embracing Mei Can Niang, a series of sharp blades pierced his flesh. Dozens of longswords, emitting an eerie glow, pierced his body, the immense force of the blades almost pinning him to the ground. Lin Yuan stared blankly at his body, seemingly forgetting the intense pain of the sword piercing his heart. Streams of powerful life energy flowed rapidly towards the strange sword, dozens of blades practically turning him into a pincushion. Had it not been for his current profound cultivation level, he would have already perished.

The Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Sword was a nemesis developed by the Lin family to counter the powerful effects of Soul Energy Gathering Crystals. Based on devouring soul energy and life energy, its destructive power against Soul Energy Gathering Crystals was unimaginable. Super-evolved individuals and those focused on life energy could die instantly from the complete loss of their life energy if struck by it; its power was absolutely forbidden. Lin Yuan only remembered that before arriving in the Chaotic Spacetime, the Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Sword was merely a theoretical concept within the family. The elders had no intention of actually developing it, as its appearance would bring immense danger to those in the clan who cultivated life energy. He didn't know why it had appeared in the Chaotic Spacetime this time. The doubts still lingered in his mind when a piercing, cold laugh immediately drew his attention. He would never forget that familiar voice. "Master Bing, it's you!" Lin Yuan's furious roar instantly resounded throughout the heavens and earth. "Indeed, it's me, Yuan. Long time no see. You're still as strikingly handsome as ever. Unfortunately, today you'll have to submit to me." Amidst the cold laughter, a streak of purple light pierced through the air, and a purple figure instantly appeared high in the sky, coldly looking down at Lin Yuan. With his appearance, the beautiful silkworm maidens, Liang Chen, and Mei Jing all swarmed towards him, their beautiful eyes filled with infatuation. It was the same look they had shown towards Lin Yuan before. "No matter how unattainable you were in the past, today, hehe, you will ultimately be defeated by me." Master Bing's cold laughter was filled with bone-chilling hatred. "While my talent may not match Lin Le's, it far surpasses yours. Why, why did the old fogies of the clan choose you as one of the three candidates for the family's successor? Hmph, what makes you think you are so special? Just because you have unlimited potential? Bah! Today, I'll cripple you!" Lin Guangyong, one of the few geniuses among the younger generation of the Lin family, a royal family of the Great Universe Federation, was born with numerous illnesses and was on the verge of death several times, hence his nickname "Sick Master." He was only saved after being carefully treated by the Lin family patriarch. Despite his less-than-ideal physical constitution, he was exceptionally intelligent, breaking through to the Heavenly Energy Realm at the age of three hundred, which was extremely rare in the family. For most intelligent individuals, transitioning from a Super Evolver to a Life Energy Realm cultivator would take at least two hundred years, and reaching the Ghost Energy Realm or Great Soul Power Realm would take at least four or five hundred years before even touching the threshold of cultivation. To reach the Heavenly Energy realm, it takes at least a thousand years to barely reach the initial stage, and that's only if one is exceptionally gifted. For ordinary people, some may never even grasp the basics of cultivation in their entire lives. Yet, he achieved this easily at the young age of thirty, naturally attracting much attention within his family. However, when selecting family candidates from thousands of promising young talents in the Lin Clan of the Great Universe, Lin Yuan, a boy whose aptitude wasn't particularly outstanding, unexpectedly stood out. The Sick Master, always arrogant and self-important, considered the younger generation of his clan, except for a few exceptionally intelligent individuals like Lin Le, to be utterly useless. Now, Lin Yuan stood proudly above him, how could he not be furious? Upon seeing the Sick Master, Lin Yuan instantly realized the reason. "Very good, very good. I didn't expect you to go to such lengths to deal with me, using dozens of Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Swords. Heh, you overestimate me." Lin Yuan sneered, recovering from his shock and anger. "With your dignified status as a Celestial Energy User, do you really need to give us such grand treatment when dealing with a mere Life Energy User like me?" "Who are you trying to hide from? When Lin Le ran away from the family, I followed him all the way back to the 21st century. Celestial Inheritor, hehe, with Yan Tianpo's help, you've already reached the level of a Celestial Energy User, albeit only at the initial stage. I can't afford to treat you rudely. You're an unkillable 'cockroach,' and I don't want any accidents to happen when dealing with you." The Sick Master sneered. "So, all these years, your cultivation progress hasn't been much. Judging by your intelligence, during the years I disappeared from the family, you should have already advanced to the Celestial Realm or even the Heavenly King Realm." Lin Yuan sneered. "Yes, I am a genius. Although my cultivation progress has been slightly hindered by the appearance of inner demons due to anger, I still haven't disappointed you. I have indeed reached the Earth Awakener stage of the Celestial Realm." The Sick Master sneered. "Aren't you surprised to hear this news?" "What's so surprising? It's just the Celestial Realm. If given time, I can reach it in less than two weeks." Lin Yuan sneered. "Yes, you are now the legendary Heavenly Inheritor of the family. The Heavenly Soul within you is gradually awakening. You are no longer the mediocre Lin family waste you once were. If I don't kill you soon, you will surely become a major threat to me in the future." The Sick Master sighed. "Kill me? With your current level, is that even possible?" Lin Yuan sneered.

"I knew it was impossible, which is why I used your beautiful wife to personally stab dozens of Star-Destroying Swords into your body. Yuan, don't sneer just yet. Don't think you're so great just because your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. These aren't the Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Swords that our clan is still exploring theoretically. These are Star-Destroying Swords, meticulously improved over hundreds of years by numerous clan elders. They possess the power to destroy a planet. It's just that they look strikingly similar to the Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Swords, so you could easily mistake them if you're not careful. Each of these Star-Destroying Swords has a vast spiritual seal. My divine sense is attached to them. Your strength is no match for mine, so of course you can't sense the immense destructive power contained within the swords. Do you believe that with just a thought, the destructive power unleashed by a single Star-Destroying Sword could reduce you to ashes in an instant? Besides, you have so many stuck in your body. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I only began returning to the chaotic spacetime a hundred years after you disappeared," the Sick Master sneered.

"You're truly cunning and ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately used his powerful divine sense to probe the longsword embedded in his body, and sure enough, he encountered a powerful backlash. Initially, when the longsword pierced his body, he hadn't paid much attention. Considering the potential threat of the Soul-Devouring Heart-Piercing Sword, which was still in the theoretical research stage of his family, it couldn't possibly pose much of a threat to him at his current state. Unexpectedly, the longsword contained a hidden secret, which enraged him immensely.

The Star-Destroying Sword was embedded in his body, its immense destructive power tightly locking him in place, its overwhelming pressure forcing him to completely suppress any energy within him. Lin Yuan finally understood what it meant to be helpless against a powerful force, like a fish on a chopping block. His momentary carelessness had led to this humiliating defeat.

"I never imagined you'd go to such lengths to deal with me. So, it seems my wives were also corrupted by your powerful soul force, causing them to fall for you and even turn against me." Lin Yuan knew resistance was futile, so he simply ignored it, disregarding his internal injuries, and coldly stared at the Sick Master.

"Not as despicable as you think. Do you think you're the only one in the family who underwent the Allure Cluster transformation? Even without it, I'm still more handsome than you. Your wives, heh, they all fell for me because of my personal charm. If you don't believe me, you can ask them yourself." The Sick Master sneered.

"Before, we followed you only because we had nowhere else to go. Now, we've discovered that there are even more powerful beings beyond this world, so naturally we choose the stronger one. Lin Yuan, we're sorry, we betrayed you. We hope you can forgive us for failing to win your heart." The Beautiful Silkworm Maiden spoke calmly when she saw Lin Yuan looking at her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was struck dumb, as if by lightning. His sincere devotion and years of longing had been betrayed. Nothing could have been more devastating.

"In terms of looks, you're not the most handsome man in this chaotic timeline; my current husband is. You have no advantage over him. Where has your once-proud power gone? Before the Star-Destroying Sword, before my husband, you are nothing. Lin Yuan, we no longer love you. Stop your delusions."

"Heavenly Beauty Emperor, heh heh, so self-righteous. Anyone who follows you will only suffer for eight lifetimes."

"We'll annihilate you, ensuring you never rise again."

... The cold gazes and indifferent words of Liang Chen, Mei Jing, and the other women shattered the last vestige of hope in Lin Yuan's heart. They weren't blinded by the power of the great soul; these were genuine words from their hearts.

Heh heh, what am I? I'm nothing. Heavenly Beauty Emperor, bullshit, just a frog in a well, a narcissistic idiot. "What am I?"

A chilling cold enveloped Lin Yuan, his heart filled with despair. A bone-deep hatred instantly overwhelmed his reason.

"Since ancient times, love has only brought regret, this regret will last forever."

Two streaks of blood-red light shot into the sky, a lifeless snort echoing through heaven and earth. Vast destructive power surged wildly from Lin Yuan's body.

"No need for the chaos of Yin and Yang, let my demonic blood stain the heavens. Since love is gone, let everything be destroyed!"

Dozens of longswords exploded with a deafening roar, the immense destructive power spreading endlessly. Lin Yuan's body instantly turned to ashes.

"Ah, no! This madman, even in his dying moments he wants to take someone down with him! Damn it!"

The Healer, seeing Lin Yuan self-destruct, was terrified and immediately soared into the heavens. The power of a single Star-Destroying Sword explosion was enough to destroy the Earth. Even with his immense strength, approaching the Heavenly King realm, he couldn't withstand such an attack. Now, with dozens of Star-Destroying Swords exploding simultaneously, how could he not be utterly annihilated and flee in panic?

The supreme powerhouses of the Three Realms and Nine Worlds simultaneously gazed towards the direction of the Heavenly Gift City. The scene of Lin Yuan's self-destruction was witnessed by all of them, and besides sighs, many felt fear. That world-destroying power was enough to annihilate all the realms connected to Earth. Many cursed inwardly, thinking, "Even a madman wouldn't act like this! Billions of lives will be sacrificed because of the Sick Master's schemes and Lin Yuan's fury. This is utterly outrageous!

" "Why bother? Why bother?"

Just then, a soft sigh suddenly rang out. A gigantic hand, tens of millions of feet in diameter, descended from the sky like lightning, and a vast, boundless silver light barrier descended, covering all directions. The destructive energy erupting from the simultaneous explosion of dozens of Star-Destroying Swords was firmly imprisoned within the barrier by the gigantic hand. Explosions were deafening, and the heavens and earth shook violently. Although the silver light barrier blocked all the destructive power, it couldn't prevent the world from trembling in the slightest.

What astonished the powerful beings of all realms even more was that, just before the colossal hand descended, in the instant the Sick Master fled, the faces of the beautiful silkworm maiden, Liang Chen, and Mei Jing all revealed eerie smiles. A purple light swept away the silkworm maiden and the others before the Sick Master could, disappearing into the vast sky.

"Who is this? How can they possess such terrifying strength?"

"Could it be the legendary Heaven-Defying Emperor from the ancient universe?"

...

Amidst several soft sighs, a deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. The colossal hand unleashed a massive energy collision, finally neutralizing each other in a fierce clash with dozens of Star-Destroying Swords, turning into thick white smoke that spread outwards. The City of Heavenly Gifts was reduced to a pile of ruins, no longer existing.

Chapter 3: The Sacred Axe of Creation

"Who are you? Why are you stopping my world-destroying attack?"

Lin Yuan roared, glaring angrily at the figure that appeared and disappeared in the mist ahead. This was a mysterious space, where boundless, seven-colored light filled every visible place. Although he didn't know where it was, Lin Yuan could sense its vastness, its boundless expanse, its incredible size.

"Haven't you heard of the Heaven-Opening Sacred Axe?"

A faint, ethereal voice drifted from the figure ahead.

"What? You're the Heaven-Opening Sacred Axe?" Lin Yuan was startled, the bloodthirsty red light in his eyes dimming considerably.

The Heaven-Opening Sacred Axe, a forbidden, heaven-defying sacred artifact in the legends of Earth in the ancient universe, was the possession of the creator god Pangu. It had appeared several times during great upheavals in the celestial realm, and each time it manifested, its supreme holy power could instantly calm the turbulent world. The gods of the celestial realm asserted that the Heaven-Opening Sacred Axe likely contained the remnant soul of Pangu after his demise, already possessing the aura of a ruler of heaven and earth, making it, besides the Earth Mother, the most likely candidate to unify the three realms—a heaven-defying emperor.

In their eyes, the Heavenly Emperor and others were nothing more than a bunch of clowns, how could they compare to such a forbidden figure who had existed for countless ages?

Lin Yuan recalled the forbidden sacred artifacts like the Heaven-Refining Furnace and the Heaven-Stabilizing Needle, and then looked at the figure before him whose power surpassed even theirs, and couldn't help but feel discouraged. This was a monster that existed even longer than the Heaven-Refining Furnace and the like.

"Is it strange? Actually, I anticipated your appearance long ago. I also felt a little uneasy about the changes that will occur in the next two thousand years. I thought you would return to the chaotic spacetime a little later, but I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, and with such a huge commotion. The great Holy Sovereigns and Emperors are still in a slumber. As for your antics, well, I have no choice but to take action." The Heaven-Opening Axe said calmly.

"What? You can even predict things two thousand years from now?" Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise, seemingly unable to believe his ears.

"Yes, when your strength transcends the constraints of heaven and earth, these supernatural powers become commonplace for you." The Heaven-Opening Axe nodded and said, "You probably wouldn't believe it, but why can't a supreme being change future history, while a mortal has the potential? That's only relative to the individual. The stronger your abilities, the less easily you can change things. If a supreme being inadvertently alters a period of future history, the resulting domino effect will change the entire universe. A powerhouse below the Heavenly King realm, even if they cause a series of anomalies in a particular time and space, cannot cause turmoil in the entire universe. The universe is vast, with many boundaries; its development is not confined to a single planet or..." "It's a matter of time and space. Take this chaotic timeline, for example. It encompasses over three thousand years of Earth's history, from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China. All the notable figures are gathered together. Is it chaotic? Absolutely chaotic. Of course, this is relative to the greater universe. Your ancestor is a supreme being among the heavenly emperors, whose strength surpasses mine. He intervened and blocked this period of history, making it an alternative space outside of Earth's regular development history, not hindering the thinking and understanding of later generations. Therefore, no matter how much you cause trouble in this chaotic timeline, it won't affect the development of the greater universe. However, the destructive power of dozens of Star-Destroying Swords is enough to break through the spatial barrier sealed by the Lin family ancestor in the greater universe. That's why I intervened to stop you."

"There's another reason. It's because I sensed the aura of an old friend on you, so I brought you to my cultivation illusionary realm to investigate. Heh, your soul consciousness has quite a few hidden secrets." Looking at Lin Yuan's surprised eyes, the Heaven-Opening Axe said calmly.

"What a joke! You sensed the aura of an old friend on me? Do you think I'm the reincarnation of the Great Creator God, Pangu? Hmph, 'secret' my foot! I have no idea what you're talking about." Lin Yuan snapped out of his astonishment and sneered.

"Go, continue your journey to the lower realm. One day, we'll meet again." The Heaven-Opening Axe smiled faintly at Lin Yuan's rudeness, ignoring him. A seven-colored radiance enveloped him, and a vast power instantly transported Lin Yuan to a certain location in the mortal realm.

"Hey, don't just say half the story! You still haven't told me who this 'old friend' you're talking about is, and what secrets are hidden within my soul?" Lin Yuan complained, annoyed at being suddenly thrown to the mortal realm by the Heaven-Opening Axe. "And what kind of godforsaken place are you hiding in to talk to me? I'm just a spirit now, without a real body. If I encounter the Sick Master again, I'm doomed!"

"You think you'd be so easily defeated? Then you wouldn't be qualified to be one of the three souls and seven spirits of the Lord of All Heavens, the inheritor of the Heavenly Transcendent One." The Heaven-Opening Axe chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "When the time comes, you will naturally know who the old friend I'm talking about is. As for where I am, it's the fourth heavenly realm above the Thirty-Three Heavens of Separation and Hatred, the Fortieth Heaven, separated from the Thirty-Nine Heavens where Nuwa resides by only a barrier. When you have enough strength to ascend, come find me. As for your body, figure it out yourself."

The Heaven-Opening Axe's calm and ethereal words descended from the Nine Heavens, yet echoed in Lin Yuan's mind through divine sense transmission, unseen by any of the powerful beings in the Nine Heavens.

Lin Yuan felt a wave of frustration upon hearing this. Without his once-proud energy body, the Soul Energy Crystal within him had long since been destroyed along with the Star-Destroying Sword. Without an inexhaustible source of energy, even if his soul remained, he could no longer wield the power of heaven and earth to roam freely.

"Very well, for the sake of an old friend, and out of respect for your Lin family patriarch, I'll help you." The words of the Heaven-Opening Axe drifted over again, and a seven-colored radiant light suddenly appeared in the void, enveloping Lin Yuan's body.

"Are you kidding me? This, this, this body is too weak! A purely mortal body! Where did my astonishing strength go? Ah, what the hell is going on?" After the seven-colored light disappeared, Lin Yuan howled in agony again. The Heaven-Opening Axe was too stingy! He was still thinking of revenge, and it only gave him this mortal body without any internal energy or the power of heaven and earth. How could he possibly cause trouble for the Healer? He'd be lucky if he wasn't killed. What angered him most was that this body still appeared in his original form. Wasn't this blatantly telling the healer, "I am the Heavenly Emperor with purple eyes and golden pupils, now devoid of any earth-shattering power. Why don't you hurry up and kill me?

" "What's all the noise about? Haven't you heard that the strong gradually transition from weak to strong? Anyway, you always have to go through the process of falling from the peak to the trough, and then rising from the trough to the peak. Consider this a fresh start." The impatient voice of the Heaven-Opening Axe rang out, then finally fell silent.

Lin Yuan roared angrily a few times, but there was no echo in the world. Instead, it attracted the divine senses of several powerful beings from other realms. Knowing that things had come to this point, Lin Yuan had no other choice but to leave in resentment.

Fortunately, what comforted him somewhat was that although his astonishing power had vanished, the powerful divine sense cultivated from that power remained within him, which calmed his panicked heart somewhat.

"Destroying Heaven, it seems I'll need your help." Lin Yuan thought to himself, and went to hide in a large cave in this desolate place.

Chapter 4 The Benevolent Spirit

"Strike while the iron is hot, Yuan, I won't give you a chance to recover. Hmph, but since you're still unwilling to give up and want to play, then I'll play cat and mouse with you again." In

the True Martial Realm, the Sick Master looked through the Xuan Guang Mirror in front of him at the people inside busily arranging some strange patterns, and sneered incessantly.

"Ye Yu Changsheng, issue the order: all martial artists who have gone astray in the Jianghu, upon receiving the kill order, must participate in the activity of killing the Heavenly Beauty Emperor. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Your Majesty," a handsome young man replied respectfully. He then raised his head again, puzzled, and asked, "Your Majesty, Emperor Tianyan is already at his last gasp. You could crush him with a single finger. Why go to such lengths to kill him?"

"Alas, although I dislike him, he is still a member of my Lin family. I can't let him die such a pathetic death. He's going to die sooner or later anyway, so let him die in a battle against the heroes. At least that would be much more glorious." The Sick Master sighed softly.

"Ye Yuchangsheng, don't underestimate Tianyan. That kid is an unkillable cockroach. Who knows if he has the power to fight back? Apart from those self-righteous guys in the Holy Realm and the woman in the Heavenly Realm who is shrouded in that woman's shadow, you can personally go into battle to kill him if necessary."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ye Yuchangsheng replied respectfully, but a trace of contempt rose in his heart. The emperor before him spoke sweet words, saying he wanted Lin Yuan to die a glorious death, but he was clearly terrified by the sudden appearance of the colossal hand. What kind of forbidden existence was that, capable of withstanding the destructive power of the Star-Destroying Sword and allowing Lin Yuan to reappear unharmed? Ye Yuchangsheng walked along, lost in thought. If he possessed such forbidden power, dominating the world and reigning supreme in the Three Realms and Six Paths would be no difficult task.

"Venerable Dugu, should we join the pursuit of Emperor Tianyan?"

In the Holy Realm, a dashing young man asked the white-robed figure before him. A faint, domineering aura emanated from the white-robed man, condensing into a powerful, unyielding aura around him, its might terrifyingly strong.

"A man chosen by Tianxiao Tianji, Xuanyin Fairy, Saintess Jiang, and the Time-Space Priest is no ordinary person. The Holy Realm should refrain from rash action. Let's see how much potential Emperor Tianyan possesses. I have a feeling that he harbors some unknown secret. Perhaps, this time, something unexpected will happen again."

Dugu Qiubai stood with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing at the earth below. Would that enigmatic figure still have any surprises in store? Even now, having broken through the void and entered the Holy Realm, becoming a revered Holy Realm Venerable, he still held great expectations for Lin Yuan.

He knew that Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, and others felt the same way. Except for that damned woman Dongfang Bubai who constantly harassed him, all martial artists who reached the Void-Breaking Realm and entered the Holy Realm shared the same sentiment. Even Ye Yuchangsheng, who harbored hatred for Lin Yuan, couldn't remain uninvolved.

"Alas, perhaps this will be another calamity for the mortal realm." Dugu Qiubai sighed softly. If Lin Yuan were to suffer any mishap, would the Palace Mistress Yaoyue, Lin Chaoying, and the other women, who had not yet emerged from their secluded cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, unleash a bloodbath upon the mortal realm?

Who says that becoming an immortal or a god is free from the troubles of battle? Besides possessing absolute power, the bloodshed in the Heavenly Realm is no easier than that in the

mortal realm. Since being sealed by the Time-Space Priest and then breaking free, Dugu Qiubai had many reflections. Dongfang Bubai, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, and others followed him to break through to the Holy Realm, while the Palace Mistress Yaoyue, Lin Chaoying, Palace Mistress Lianxing, Palace Mistress Baihua, and the Illusionary Fairy had ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Ye Yuchangsheng, however, opened his own boundary under the guidance of the Sick Master. With these ambitious individuals ruling the world, how could the word "chaos" possibly describe it?

Several forces would occasionally provoke him. Of the top 100 figures on the Mount Hua Sword Tournament's Supreme Ranking, nearly half had already reached the Martial Void Breaking Realm, and those remaining in the mortal realm were not far behind.

If his disciples from another world also entered the Heavenly Realm or the Holy Realm, he wondered if their detached hearts would be assimilated by fame and fortune, and become bloodthirsty.

Dugu Qiubai suddenly thought of Yang Guo, Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong, and Xiang Shaolong, and couldn't help but ponder this in secret.

"Alas, fate, fate is unpredictable. One day, I will defy fate and pursue the hidden secrets of the ancient world. I refuse to believe that human power cannot overcome fate. If that were the case, why did so many supreme beings who could manipulate heaven and earth appear in ancient times?"

Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Dugu Qiubai suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit. His vast domineering aura transformed into endless sword energy, condensing into a tangible sword aura. His boundless fighting spirit poured down from the sky, instantly causing wind and clouds to surge, and the world to change color, as if even the heavens and earth were shocked by Dugu Qiubai's defying-fate momentum. The earth trembled, the wind howled, stones flew, sand flew, thunder roared, and explosions resounded endlessly—a truly apocalyptic atmosphere.

"Heaven and earth are raging. It seems that the human world is about to face another wave of chaos and turmoil. The Emperor's emotions are very unstable. I must go and stop him, otherwise, blood will flow for thousands of miles, and it will be the innocent people who suffer."

In the Huan River basin outside the Zhao Kingdom, a middle-aged man with a burly appearance looked up at the sky in a daze. After a long while, he muttered to himself and headed east.

"Yuan Zong truly deserves to be called a benevolent sage who has just glimpsed the secrets of heaven. Unfortunately, before absolute power, the saying 'the benevolent are invincible' is just empty talk. Who will heed his pedantry? When necessary, we still have to lend him a hand."

In the Heavenly Realm, at the Star Sacrifice Platform, the Time-Space Priest sighed softly.

"Has he begun his demonic evolution? Is it necessary to walk this path to break through and establish himself again? Why is it like this? Is the so-called inheritance of heaven truly unavoidable?"

In the Heavenly Realm, in the Lingxiao Palace, a beautiful woman, her holy robes fluttering and exuding power, spoke calmly.

"Yuan Zong has the world in his heart, but without absolute power to run rampant, he will find it difficult to achieve great things. Why bother, why bother..."

Chapter 5 of 11-04: The Great Array of Ten Thousand Demons

"Emperor Tianyan, stop your delusions. What are you trying to do by drawing these crooked patterns here? Do you think you have any way to escape? Emperor Shengtian has already commanded the world, and all martial artists will fight to the death to kill you."

On an unnamed desolate mountain, on a mountaintop that had been deliberately cleared, a flat area hundreds of feet wide, a dozen martial artists wielding long swords surrounded Lin Yuan with murderous intent. The leader was a young man exuding evil aura. He sneered, his cold and bloodthirsty eyes looking at Lin Yuan as if he were a dead man, his gaze filled with murderous pity.

"You want to kill me? Hmph, do you think you have the strength?" Lin Yuan didn't even raise his head, still kneeling on the ground, meticulously drawing his grotesque symbols. The crimson liquid solidified on the ground, forming horrifying images of evil spirits and demons.

"Do you still think you're the same Tianyan Emperor who dominated the martial world four years ago, causing the martial arts world to change its course? Hmph, today you're nothing but a pathetic wretch abandoned by his wives, barely surviving a calamity, with no strength whatsoever." The wicked youth sneered.

"Yes, things are different now. Even some rats dare to jump out and act arrogantly in front of me. You know quite a lot, don't you? Which sect are you from?" Lin Yuan's fingers paused as he drew the symbols, and he said coldly.

"Feng Fanxingtian, the young chieftain of the Eighteen Fortresses of Feng Huo Lian Yun, is here today on the orders of Emperor Sheng Tian to kill you. Tianyan Emperor, accept your fate." The wicked youth said arrogantly.

"Very well, very well. Today, I will offer the lives of everyone in the eighteen strongholds of Feng Huo Lian Yun as a sacrifice to the heavens, and you, Feng Xingtian, are my first offering." Lin Yuan slowly stood up, his purple and golden eyes instantly turning a blood-red hue. Upon seeing this, Feng Xingtian was startled, a strange fear quietly growing within him. Faced with Lin Yuan's sudden change, he didn't know why, but he felt no resistance whatsoever, only a fear that made him want to run away.

"Brothers, Emperor Tianyan is at his last gasp. Don't be fooled by his appearance. Attack! Kill him! I'll reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!" Feng Xingtian forced himself to suppress his terror and shouted in a trembling voice, but his feet involuntarily retreated.

"Kill! Don't let Emperor Tianyan escape!"

"Kill Emperor Tianyan and you'll get ten thousand taels of gold! Brothers, charge!"

... Several shouts rang out, and a dozen martial artists, driven by greed, howled like hungry wolves, viciously pouncing on Lin Yuan.

"Take your ten thousand taels of gold to the underworld."

Lin Yuan's cold laughter suddenly became ethereal, and a strange red light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping the dozen martial artists.

Streams of red light flowed into Lin Yuan's body, and his eyes lost their alluring, bewitching light; his once purple and golden pupils gradually turned crimson amidst the cold laughter.

A vast aura of malevolence suddenly spread out.

Feng Xingtian stood on the outer edge of the red light, watching helplessly as the dozen martial artists were enveloped by it, without even uttering a scream, they mysteriously transformed into streams of red light and disappeared into Lin Yuan's body.

Is this...is this still human? A demon, an absolute demon. Feng Xingtian, filled with fear, tried to flee, but Lin Yuan was already standing eerily before him.

"Young Master Feng, trying to run away so soon? Why not play a little longer?"

"You, you're not human, you're a demon!" Feng Xingtian screamed, his longsword trembling violently as he pointed it at Lin Yuan.

"Heh heh, I was never human to begin with, and now you realize that?" Lin Yuan sneered, slowly approaching him.

"You, your power disappeared, didn't it? How…" Feng Xingtian stumbled backward, his heart filled with terror, yet he couldn't help but voice the question that had been nagging at him.

"Now that things have come to this, I might as well tell you. This is the Myriad Demons Blood Devouring Space Array, and I am the manipulator of this array. As long as you are within its range, I am the absolute ruler. No matter how many of you come, you will never return. Young Master Feng, I truly have no energy left. If you were outside the array, you could easily kill me. But now, hehe, you can only complain to the King of Hell

about your resentment. However, I think you won't have that chance." Lin Yuan sneered. "Why, why?" Upon hearing this, Feng Xingtian felt an indescribable regret. Why did he have to go to these graffiti? He ended up getting himself involved.

"Because my power is about to return through the Myriad Demons Blood Devouring Array. At that time, no one in the world will be able to stop my rampage." Lin Yuan sneered, and two beams of blood-red light shot out from Blood Devouring Eyes, instantly shattering Feng Xingtian's body.

"The Eye of Annihilation is indeed incredibly powerful! My power hasn't fully recovered yet, but this blood-red light, devoid of any real strength, can annihilate anyone or anything that dares to obstruct my return. Hmph, so what if I've lost the Soul Energy Gathering Crystal and the Energy of Heaven? I am still me, a supreme being who fears neither heaven nor earth. Patient, the debt you owe me today, I will one day demand it back from you tenfold."

With a cold laugh, Lin Yuan shattered his mortal body without hesitation, leaving only a purple soul shadow standing silently above the Myriad Demons Array. Streams of blood-red light shot down, filling in the last few incomplete strokes around the array.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

Just then, an anxious shout rang out. Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly middle-aged man rushing down from the foot of the mountain.

Such a familiar face! Lin Yuan paused, then suddenly recalled a fragmented memory.

"Yuanzong, what brings you here?"

Lin Yuan's voice was cold and devoid of emotion. Having witnessed the betrayal of the beautiful silkworm maidens, his heart had gradually hardened. Although Yuanzong was a benevolent man deeply concerned for his country, whom he had once greatly admired, times had changed, and he no longer wished to engage in pointless entanglements with such a figure. He couldn't believe that their reunion four years after parting ways in the Ganges River region would be under such circumstances; he couldn't help but lament the fickleness of the world and the vicissitudes of life.

"Your Majesty, the world understands your suffering, but you cannot give up on yourself and embark on a path of evil. Doing so will only bring devastation and suffering to the people," Yuanzong said urgently.

"There are many things in this world that you cannot stop simply by wanting to. You should continue to be a benevolent patriot, like Mozi, concerned for the country and its people. You don't need to get involved in matters of the world's boundaries; besides, you don't have the power to do so now,"

Lin Yuan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely mustn't..." Yuan Zong said urgently, still trying to dissuade him.

"You old man, you really don't know any better. If it weren't for our past relationship, I would have killed you long ago. How dare you whine here? You want to save the world, huh? Go find Xiang Shaolong and help him support Ying Zheng. You'll be remembered for eternity. Don't worry, we'll still have a chance to meet. However, from now on, I am no longer the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, but the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord. Please remember this, and don't call me that again." Lin Yuan impatiently interrupted him, casually waving his hand, and a vast amount of demonic power violently repelled Yuan Zong, who had already stepped into the Myriad Demon Formation.

"Before chaos was created, I walked alone, devouring the blood of the universe, reigning supreme as a demon, commanding all evil to obey, walking proudly, I alone am supreme. Blood and strife ravage the world for thousands of miles, with my demonic soul I shatter the void, when the three realms and nine worlds tremble, with my demonic blood I stain the azure sky."

A cold shout rang out, the Myriad Demons Array's blood-red light soared into the sky, countless soul shadows overlapped and swirled around Lin Yuan. A fierce howl echoed endlessly, and streaks of red light converged from all directions.

"Ten thousand blood souls cleave the heavens, let the Eighteen Strongholds of Wind and Fire Connecting Clouds completely vanish into the chaotic spacetime!"

"Emperor, no!" Before Yuan Zong's cry could even rang out, Lin Yuan had already carried the Myriad Demons Array into the sky, soaring through the air towards the Eighteen Strongholds of Wind and Fire Connecting Clouds.

Chapter 6 The Power of Heaven

"The Myriad Demons Blood Devouring Space Array, what exactly is this thing? Its power is so great that it can actually make a piece of trash with no energy in his body fly up again, and even show a faint tendency to regain his strength. This is not a good thing." In

the True Martial Realm, the Sick Master looked down at the lower realm and sighed softly.

Before the Xuan Guang Mirror, ten thousand feet of blood light soared into the sky. The evil energy of heaven and earth converged from all directions towards Lin Yuan's Blood Devouring Array. Countless long-dissipated remnant souls and fierce spirits reappeared, screaming and howling in the Myriad Demons Array. Their cries were so tragic that they were unbearable to hear. Ghostly howls

shook the sky, and blood light filled the heavens. Lin Yuan coldly stared at the clouds, a blood-red light spreading across the sky, shooting out beams of destructive light. Under the cover of the Myriad Demons Array, the more than 100,000 members of the Wind and Fire Connecting Clouds gang were all torn to shreds by the blood-red light and tens of thousands of remnant souls and fierce spirits. Lin Yuan, by absorbing the blood of over 100,000 followers, gained an unprecedented evil power—the power to destroy the heavens was about to reappear.

The Destroyer of Heaven, one of the three souls of the ancient Lord of Heaven, disrespected neither Heaven nor Earth, reigning supreme in the universe; he did not cultivate the powers of Heaven and Earth, nor practice supernatural arts, yet his heavenly eyes contained an endless source of destruction. His unparalleled power had shaken several ancient mythological eras, making him one of the most powerful and rebellious rulers in the various universes.

"I wonder what's so amazing about this damned formation that this kid created. Why do I feel a sense of unease?"

The Sick Master, not being a Heavenly Inheritor, didn't know the origins of the Myriad Demons Formation, and was naturally ignorant of its strangeness.

In fact, even Lin Yuan, the one directly involved, wasn't entirely clear on the matter. He had merely absorbed the memories given to him by Yan Tianpo in Yan Kong Dongtian, and only then did he vaguely learn of this formation. He knew its power was unparalleled and that it could restore the strength of those who had lost it, so he simply copied it. After all, the power of a formation could only be truly understood through personal experience.

"No, I can't let this kid continue like this, otherwise, he will become a major threat one day." A strong sense of unease rose in the Sick Master's heart. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared above the mortal realm.

"The Sick Master is too impatient. He didn't even give him time to adapt before rushing to kill him. He'll suffer a loss."

As the Sick Master moved swiftly, in the Heavenly Palace of the Celestial Realm, a stunningly beautiful girl with flowing purple hair stood atop the Heavenly Palace and coldly snorted.

"Of course I'm anxious! Do you expect me to wait for you to recover your strength before you two team up to attack me? Pang Huijuan, your Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical artifact) is too skillful!"

In the mortal realm, the Sick Master's powerful divine sense had already caught the beautiful girl's cold snort. He sneered and replied,

"If I wanted to team up with him, I wouldn't have just watched you cripple him without intervening." In the celestial realm, Pang Huijuan sneered.

"Yes, why is that?" The Sick Master was also puzzled upon hearing this.

"Oh dear, this girl is clearly stalling for time. Lin Yuan has an incredibly strong vitality and is hailed by the clan's elders as the most promising successor among the younger generation. Every time he reaches a certain peak in his cultivation, he is sent to the initial stage of super evolution and starts cultivating again. Each restart causes his power to increase by leaps and bounds, and he is very likely to achieve a leapfrog advancement in a short period of time."

The Sick Master suddenly thought of a possibility from the clan's legend and broke out in a cold sweat. Considering Lin Yuan's strange behavior this time, he had no more doubts.

The power of the Heavenly Inheritor is extraordinary. Although it shows no signs of change at this stage and appears unremarkable, who knows what astonishing changes it will undergo once it fully awakens. Take Lin Yuan's recent journey through the chaotic spacetime, for example. In just a few years, he has achieved five major leaps from the initial stage of a Super Evolver, fully entering the realm of Heavenly Energy Beings. If he were to undergo several more cycles of re-evolution, I fear that I would only be able to flee from him in the future.

The Sick Master awoke with a start and immediately broke through the air, flying towards Lin Yuan's direction.

"Once the Heavenly Inheritance awakens, no one can stop it. You can't, I can't, not even my patriarch. Heh heh, Master Bing, do you think you can completely stop the Heavenly Inheritance within Yuan from awakening by doing this? Little do you know, your actions have only accelerated its rapid awakening. Do you think I'm truly cold-blooded and indifferent to the injuries you've inflicted on Yuan? It's only because his potential needs to be stimulated in this special way that I had no choice but to harden my heart. Now, his power is gradually recovering, Master Bing, it's time for us to settle accounts."

A cold snort filled with boundless rage, and above the heavens, a towering purple light, containing endless destructive power, slashed wildly towards Master Bing in the lower realm. Instantly, the wind and clouds surged, and countless destructive divine lightning bolts intertwined to form a world-destroying net, sweeping towards Master Bing.

A slender and exquisitely beautiful figure parted the layers of clouds, standing proudly above the nine heavens.

A sacred aura and immense pressure swept across the sky, a myriad of purple lights illuminating the heavens and earth. Waves of destructive energy descended from the slender jade hands high above.

"Damn it, you wanted to fight but didn't choose the right time. You had to come looking for trouble at this moment. Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you after I've dealt with him."

The Sick Master was furious upon seeing this, but he had no mind to defend himself. He cursed angrily, and a flash of light appeared as he swiftly attacked Lin Yuan.

"I won't give you another chance, Sick Master. Put away your delusions."

From the clouds above, Pang Huijuan sneered, waving her jade hand. A myriad of purple lights swept across the sky, chasing after him. Countless divine thunderbolts condensed and did not dissipate, closely following behind, weaving into an endless net of light and electricity, striking down a vast and destructive force towards the Sick Master.

"Want to kill me? Hmph, no way." "Want to kill me?

Hmph, no way."

...

Two cold snorts rang out, one from Lin Yuan and the other from the Sick Master. However, the two were not referring to the same person. The Sick Master traced mysterious trajectories towards the heavens, a dazzling green light shooting skyward, unleashing a vast, boundless force that collided with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Net. In a deafening explosion, the two immense destructive forces instantly vanished, locked in a fierce battle.

"Blood Devouring Ten Thousand Demons, Annihilating the Void, Overlord of Heaven and Earth, I am the Supreme One, Eye of Annihilation, who can stop me?"

A ten-thousand-foot-long red light swept in from the east, accompanied by a deafening ghostly howl. Two beams of blood, carrying unparalleled power, instantly shattered the Sick Master's body.

"Ah, this, this is impossible!"

The Sick Master roared in fury as his newly reconstructed body was repeatedly shattered by the blood beams. Combined with the world-destroying divine thunder descending from the Nine Heavens, the blood beams, under the pressure of the Ten Thousand Demons Array, swept across the sky, forcing the Sick Master to flee to the heavens and the earth, with nowhere to hide.

Chapter 7 The Appearance of the Heavenly Soul

"Nothing is impossible. This is the true power of the inheritor of Heaven. He only needs a Heavenly Heart; even without power, he can unleash unparalleled divine abilities that are unfathomable and unpredictable."

Pang Huijuan sneered, dispelling the doubts in the Sick Master's heart, and also providing a glimmer of hope for his desperate counterattack.

"Heavenly Heart, heh heh, Heavenly Heart," the Sick Master chuckled coldly.

"My body condenses into a long sword to shatter the universe, advancing without hesitation to destroy all heavens!"

With a long roar, the Sick Master's body condensed into a long sword, and the vast, destructive aura coalesced into a sword aura ten thousand feet long, cleaving down from the sky.

"Yuan, I forgot to tell you, I'm now at the Heavenly King Realm, not the Celestial Human Realm I told you about a few days ago. Hehe, prepare to die."

"Even if you are at the Heavenly King Realm, what can you do to my Myriad Demons Formation?"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, a ten-thousand-foot-long blood-red light shooting upwards against the sky. The two immense forces collided violently again, shaking the heavens and earth. A powerful shockwave swept across thousands of miles, causing mountains to collapse, rivers to stop flowing, and gales to rage—a scene of annihilation.

"I don't intend to kill you by directly confronting you with my own cultivation. Hehe, Star-Destroying Sword Formation, attack!"

The Sick Master sneered incessantly, a polar sword light shooting out from the ten-thousand-foot-long sword aura. Lin Yuan listened intently and was immediately enraged. How despicable the Sick Master! In the midst of their duel, he had released over a hundred Star-Destroying Swords, transforming them into a long arrow that shot towards his heart. Who knows how many he stole from his family.

This time, the Star-Destroying Sword transformed into a gigantic arrow, its power far surpassing the destructive energy unleashed when it pierced his body. Lin Yuan dared not be careless; even with the Bloodthirsty Demon Space Array as his support, it was far beyond his ability to withstand. Without a word, he turned and fled, carrying the Demon Space Array with him.

Women, always so meddlesome, always talking nonsense. No one will think you're mute if you don't speak. As he fled, Lin Yuan didn't forget to glare hatefully at the beautiful figure high in the clouds.

The sword roared angrily, relentlessly pursuing him, determined not to give up until it achieved its goal.

Pang Huijuan, seeing this, was also furious. She had seen despicable and shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone more shameless than the Sick Master. A powerful being at the Heavenly King realm actually launched a world-destroying attack on someone utterly powerless. Killing one person would be one thing, but he encompassed the entire world. Keep in mind, the power unleashed by a single Star-Destroying Sword is enough to destroy a planet!

Although Pang Huijuan was furious, she dared not intervene against the net of hundreds of Star-Destroying Swords. She wanted to help Lin Yuan, but was filled with anxiety and had no way to help.

"Heaven-Opening Axe, where are you hiding? If you don't act quickly, I'm doomed!"

During his escape, Lin Yuan's powerful divine sense echoed through the immense power of the Myriad Demons Array, resounding throughout the Three Realms, Six Paths, and Nine Heavens.

"Looking for help? Hmph, don't even mention the Heaven-Opening Axe, even if Pangu came, he couldn't save you." The Sick Master sneered, his powerful divine sense driving the Star-Destroying Swords' attack. The sword arrows flew with incredible speed, almost reaching the speed of lightning, and an immense pressure made it almost impossible for Lin Yuan to breathe.

"Alas, relying on outsiders is not a long-term solution. The Heavenly Inheritance... In truth, your soul hides a great secret. Don't you still have the remnant soul of Annihilation in your mind? Why not help him?" Just as Lin Yuan was trapped with nowhere to escape, the ancient voice of the Heaven-Opening Axe finally echoed from the heavens.

"The soul of Annihilation... How could I not have thought of that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately recalled the fragments of memory given to him by the Radiant Soul. He didn't even have time to accuse the Heaven-Opening Axe of refusing to help him in his time of need. A divine voice immediately penetrated the depths of his mind.

"Annihilation, Annihilation, where are you? Come out quickly! I need your help!"

With each repeated call, a vast and destructive aura suddenly surged forth from the depths of his mind without warning.

Lin Yuan felt a roar in his brain, and his vision blurred. In a dazzling blood-red light, a faint phantom suddenly appeared before him. A subtle, domineering aura emanated from him, making him seem like a god who created the world or a lord who would destroy it. Every gesture he made carried the feeling of endless destruction. His cold gaze sent a chill down one's spine, from body to soul.

"Destroyer of Heaven," indeed worthy of his name, a supreme being among the most powerful and defying deities in ancient myths and legends. The invisible aura emanating from him was enough to shake the heavens and earth; even though he was merely a remnant soul, he was still far beyond the reach of any current celestial being.

Lin Yuan was startled upon seeing the illusory figure, then secretly praised him, captivated by his unparalleled brilliance.

"Destroyer of Heaven, for the sake of the Lord of All Heavens, I hope you can help me,"

Lin Yuan said immediately after a brief moment of astonishment, without any further formality.

"Uh, you are the inheritor of the Heaven of Love. Alright, considering we are both of the same kind, I'll help you," Destroyer of Heaven said calmly, giving Lin Yuan a quiet glance.

"After the ancient war that destroyed the universe, my strength is far from what it used to be. Fragments of my remnant soul have scattered across the boundaries of various universes. I will do my best."

"The Bloodthirsty Demon Space Array, also known as the Mind-Controlled Universe Array, is a heaven-defying array created by the Lords of Heaven during their conquest of the various universes. Its basic function is to teleport you from one universe to another with a thought. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also trap your enemy within the array and kill them. It can contain a mustard seed or a universe, and its power is immense. With your current strength, you cannot unleash even a fraction of its power. Even I, in my current state, can only unleash a fraction of its power. However, it is more than enough to deal with the Star-Destroying Sword Array that is chasing you."

The calm voice carried an endless sense of vicissitude. Annihilation replaced Lin Yuan in the center of the array, and dazzling streaks of blood-red light shot out from his strange and mysterious movements. A blinding crimson light blotted out the sky, swallowing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Net that Pang Huijuan had unleashed to block the Sick Master. The net transformed into an endless stream of energy, causing the heavens to collapse, the void to appear, and a black hole to open its mysterious gate. An inexhaustible yet incredibly powerful external spatial suction surged forth, the violent energy collisions triggering a series of deafening roars that shook the heavens and earth.

Streaks of crimson light swept against the heavens, their unparalleled power and immense suction instantly sending the Sick Master's pursuing Star-Destroying Sword beam into the unknown space.

"Damn it, what's going on? That old codger over there, why are you meddling in my business?" The Sick Master, witnessing the anomaly, was instantly enraged.

"Arrogant and conceited brat, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll truly be ignorant of your own limitations." A crimson light, accompanying the words of Extinction Heaven, abruptly and easily shattered the Sick Master's body.

"Such attacks are useless against me, so don't waste your time." The Sick Master's shattered body fled into the distance before reassembling, and he said nonchalantly. Trying something impossible was not his style. Having lost the last hundred or so Star-Destroying Swords stored in his Soul Space, he dared not easily attempt to use the Heaven-Destroying Eye of Annihilation again. Even Lin Yuan's use without any energy had rendered him helpless; if this unknown being, possibly a forbidden being from ancient legends, were to unleash it, he might very well be sealed away. Having made up his mind, the Sick Master immediately considered retreating.

"I am not a successor of Heaven. You'll soon find out whether it's useful or not."

Annihilation smiled faintly, waving his left palm. A ten-thousand-foot-long crimson light instantly enveloped the heavens and earth, rapidly expanding and enveloping the entire chaotic spacetime in an instant. With a soft shout of

"Sealing the Heavenly Origin

," the world instantly changed color. A terrifyingly powerful imperial aura completely shocked the Three Realms and Nine Heavens. At the same time, all the powerful beings who had advanced to the Immortal God realm immediately discovered something horrifying: their cultivation had suddenly vanished. Except for a few individuals whose strength had reached the Heavenly Realm Supreme level and could still barely fly, all the powerful beings could only crawl on the clouds at an ant-like speed. Some were even less capable of crawling on the clouds; they could only use the lightness technique commonly used by martial artists in the mortal realm to leap.

It was forbidden, truly terrifying.

When the Sick Master saw the mysterious smile of the Destroyer of Heaven, he felt a sense of foreboding. Before he could turn and run, the next moment, he was surrounded by a sky-filling blood-red light, and all his cultivation mysteriously disappeared. In terror, he fell heavily from the sky in a very disheveled manner, giving the earth a very unseemly kiss. Lin Yuan, having already lost all his power, didn't react much to

the "Rules of Heaven and Earth,"

but his powerful divine sense sensed immense pressure. Seeing this anomaly, he unconsciously uttered four words.

"Rules of Heaven and Earth!"

Pang Huijuan, high above, was also astonished upon hearing this. That was the forbidden divine power of the legendary Heavenly Emperor from ancient times! Before any Heavenly Emperor's Rules of Heaven and Earth, all immortals and kings were utterly useless, no matter how powerful they once were, they couldn't escape the shackles of the Rules of Heaven and Earth. Her strength had reached the Supreme level of the Heavenly Realm. Under the vast power of the Sealed Heavenly Origin, although her power had decreased significantly, she wasn't so badly crippled that she had to climb the clouds; she could still barely fly. Originally, even with the strength of the Sick Master, he wasn't so weak as to be unable to fly. However, in the battle against Lin Yuan and Pang Huijuan, he suffered a severe injury due to carelessness. Later, the destructive attack of Mie Tian completely sealed the last trace of power within his body. Helpless, he could only return to the mortal realm to continue his arrogant ways.

Chapter 8 The Great Universe Theory

"Mie Tian, what's going on?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

"I only temporarily sealed this world here. I need to sleep for a while. Once the remaining power I left in your soul has fully recovered, I will naturally break the seal on this space and embark on the journey to find the other half of the remnant soul and the Lord of the Heavens. Hehe, at that time, you will inevitably have to fight alongside me." Mie Tian said calmly.

"You've already woken up, and you're going to sleep again? Are you kidding me? I'm just a mortal without any power right now. If you go into sleep again, what should I do if a powerful being attacks?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

"There's nothing I can do about it. If you hadn't woken me from my slumber and used the Bloodthirsty Demon Space Array, wasting a lot of my power, I wouldn't have needed to fall asleep again," Mie Tian said, displeased. "Besides, to protect your life, I wasted my power sealing this space. There are no strong individuals left. Even the current Heavenly Lord in this spacetime is only equivalent to a top expert in the mortal realm. Don't worry, no one can threaten you."

"Oh, I see. Well, thank you very much then," Lin Yuan said, relieved.

"How long are you going to sleep? You're not going to stay here for a thousand or two thousand years, are you? I don't have that much time to wait," Lin Yuan asked again. "

It won't take that long. Soon, we'll meet in another Illusionary Demon Universe. Hehe, thinking about sending over a hundred Star-Destroying Swords to them just now feels great. This is like giving them a heads-up," Mie Tian said with a faint smile. "

Illusionary Demon Universe? What kind of place is that?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"The Illusionary Demon Universe, a mid-level local universe where true demons roam freely and heavenly kings vie for supremacy," said Mie Tian.

"A mid-level local universe? Are you kidding me? Isn't the universe vast and boundless? Where did this mid-level local universe come from?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"The universe you're talking about is merely the mid-level local universe of the Human Against Heaven Universe we're currently in. How can it be considered a true universe?" Mie Tian sneered.

"The Human Against Heaven Universe, a mid-level local universe—how many universes are there? What kind of universe qualifies as a true great universe?" Pang Huijuan, her curiosity piqued, finally couldn't resist flying down from the heavens to their side.

"Very well, considering we're both connected by fate, I might as well tell you directly,"

Mie Tian said calmly, glancing at her indifferently.

"The true universe, and just how many universes there are, remains a mystery to this day. Their birth and destruction are not necessarily the result of the natural cycle. When a supreme being's power reaches the point of breaking through the rules of the universe, their inner world, their soul space, their refined mystical realm, their cleaved chaotic space, or their created outer world, could all potentially ascend to become a completely new universe. Of course, the size of this universe depends on the strength of this supreme being.

The rules of heaven and earth that you usually speak of are only relative to a certain micro-universe, to a certain heavenly-ranked powerhouse ." "That is to say, the spatial boundaries created by the Celestial Realm that you have cultivated to the point of being a Celestial Being, whether it is an inner world, a Mystic Realm, a Chaotic Space, an Outer Heaven World, or a Soul Space, it cannot meet the conditions to grow into a universe. This is because their masters have limited abilities. The inner world of an ordinary Celestial Realm expert can reach tens of thousands of miles at most, and the supreme Celestial Realm expert, which is the Heavenly Emperor Realm that you are cultivating, can have an inner world that can reach millions of miles. On the other hand, the initial stage of the Heaven-Defying Level has already met the conditions to become a Celestial Realm expert, which is the Azure Heaven or the Azure Sky that you admire in the world. Their inner world can reach hundreds of millions of miles, which is the corresponding Heavenly Venerable Realm that you are cultivating."

"No way, how can the difference between the Heaven-Defying Level expert and the Heavenly Emperor Realm be so far apart?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but interject upon hearing this.

"You should know that among those who reach the Heavenly Supreme Realm, even the slightest difference can lead to a world of difference. What's so strange about that?"

Before Mie Tian could answer, Pang Huijuan had already glared at him and said.

"Yes, becoming a Heavenly Being means possessing power far beyond what you can comprehend in your ordinary understanding. The King among the Heavenly-Defying experts already possesses the conditions to create a universe. However, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot advance to the intermediate universe realm," Mie Tian said calmly.

"Why? Just how vast is the universe they can create?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"At their level of cultivation, it can't be measured in kilometers. You know the Milky Way, right?" Mie Tian said calmly.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Lin Yuan was annoyed; he really thought Mie Tian was a child.

"The Milky Way, also called the galactic universe or the star system universe, is a part of the Human Heavenly Defying Universe, a micro-level local universe according to cosmology. The Human Heavenly Defying Universe in the Void Illusion is only considered an intermediate universe. Its outer perimeter encompasses many galactic universes. Humans measure their range in light-years. Even traveling at the speed of light, you might not be able to traverse the diameter of a star system universe in billions of years," Mie Tian said calmly.

"Since you can't traverse its entire diameter, how can you create its existence with your cultivation?" Pang Huijuan took over Lin Yuan's question and said.

"That's why the universe has no boundaries, and cultivation is endless. Why can't a supreme being create a mid-level universe? It's because their power is limited by the true rules of the great universe. Unless they break through and rebuild, advancing to the realm of powerful observers."

"Powerful observer? What's that?" Lin Yuan asked, looking rather clueless.

"That's not something you can understand right now. Alright, let's stop here. Anyway, you'll find it difficult to understand the true great, mid, and small universes in a short time. When your strength reaches that level, all your doubts will naturally become clear." Mie Tian yawned lazily and said. "Sorry, I'm sleepy and going to sleep. Don't disturb me."

"Hey, you haven't removed the seal from my body yet." Seeing that Mie Tian was about to disappear, Lin Yuan quickly called out.

"Did I place a seal on you? Please, that's a spiritual imprint left by Qing Tian. Besides, given the current state of the seals in this world, no one can threaten you anymore. What are you afraid of? Even those you once admired and looked up to, like Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai, are now just top experts in the mortal realm. Don't worry, it's fine. Just think of it as reliving your martial arts dream. Hehe, they're really looking forward to your appearance. Oh, by the way, there are no powerful beings in the Heavenly Realm under the Sealed Heavenly Origin. Your Bloodthirsty Demon Space Array is a heaven-defying divine power. Although you don't have much power to activate its full potential, it's best not to use it under the Sealed Heavenly Origin. Otherwise, the powerful experts from all the realms will say I'm being unfair to them." Mie Tian smiled calmly, a glint of blood light shooting into Lin Yuan's eyes, and his figure instantly vanished without a trace.

"Are you kidding me? 'Reliving the Dream of Martial Arts,' and then you've placed a mind seal on me, forbidding me from activating the Myriad Demons Array. Isn't this just sending me to be hunted down?"

Lin Yuan tried to activate the Myriad Demons Array, but a piercing pain shot through his mind, causing him to lose his balance and fall heavily to the ground from the center of the array.

A dazzling purple light suddenly flashed and vanished instantly. The Myriad Demons Array, which had stood proudly in the sky, also disappeared, and hundreds of thousands of remnant souls and fierce spirits miraculously vanished completely. Light returned to the sky, and the sky was clear and cloudless. If it weren't for the fact that all the boundary experts had lost their supernatural powers, no one would believe that this space, just moments before, had been a deathly, murderous domain.

"The Seven Heavenly Sovereigns have appeared one after another, the Three Emperors have returned and a new beginning has begun. The boundary is in turmoil, not far off!"

The Heaven-Opening Axe of the Fortieth Heaven sighed softly.

"Do you need my help?"

In a certain place in the mortal realm, Pang Huijuan looked at Lin Yuan indifferently.

"When I revisit the mortal martial world, if I'm really in dire straits and you see me on the verge of death, then come and help me." Lin Yuan snorted lightly, stood up, and walked indifferently towards the east.

"After all these years, your temper is still as stubborn as ever."

Pang Huijuan shook her head and flew directly into the heavens.

"Damn it, no one cares about me! Lin Yuan, Pang Huijuan, I will not let you get away with this!"

After the two figures disappeared, the Sick Master jumped out from a thick bush, glaring fiercely in the direction the two had disappeared, and said hatefully.

Chapter 9 The Great Demon True Body

After the inexplicable change of the heavens, all the strong were all thrown back to the initial stage by the rules of heaven and earth, and the space-time was disordered. With Lin Yuan's return to the Great Qin, the mortal realm will once again stage a farce of vying for supremacy.

If there is anyone who feels the most depressed in this change, it is none other than the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny Wu Xingyun. Having finally managed to reach the Heavenly Court through Lin Yuan's name, she barely managed to break through to the Immortal God realm. She had just emerged from seclusion, and before she could even settle scores with Palace Master Yaoyue, her Immortal God cultivation was immediately sealed by the Forbidden Heaven Source, leaving her only able to fight with mortal martial arts. Nothing could be more infuriating than this.

The world was changing too fast, her cultivation progress too slow—how unbearable!

"He's back in the mortal realm. Yaoyue, Lianxing, the Ancestor, and the others haven't emerged from seclusion yet. Heh heh, why not take advantage of his current inability to resist and fulfill my wish? By then, even if the Ancestor and the others emerge, their strength probably won't be much greater. Hmph, I refuse to believe I can't have you."

At this moment, more than ten days had passed since the Heavenly Change. Most of those who had broken through to the Heavenly Realm, and many of the Martial Supremes of the Holy Realm, had gradually returned to the mortal realm.

In Lingjiu Palace, at Tianya Haige, Wu Xingyun sneered and flew down the mountain.

"Hmph, Tianyan, Lianhua, which one is the real you? This time I will not let you off easily. No matter where you go, I will follow you to the death."

Thousands of miles away, on a desolate ancient road, Lin Yuan wandered aimlessly, lost and disoriented. Without his once-proud forbidden energy, Lin Yuan could only trudge slowly across the barren land with the small, hurried steps of an ordinary person. His solitary figure added to his loneliness, but his striking purple hair remained unchanged.

Anyone who saw that extraordinary hair would immediately recognize him as "Emperor Tianyan."

"I am not Emperor Tianyan, I am the Bloodthirsty Monarch."

His blood-red eyes gleamed coldly. After his self-destruction to resist the Star-Destroying Sword, Lin Yuan's alluring physique had been completely transformed by the Heaven-Opening Axe. Within the Myriad Demons Array, hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Bloodthirsty Monarch's souls had vanished, and Lin Yuan's original aura was no more.

His indifferent voice echoed across the wasteland. At this moment, Lin Yuan exuded a powerful, murderous aura, a terrifying demonic presence.

"Sick Master, you are indeed ruthless. To absorb vast life energy to restore your power, you actually went so far as to slaughter thousands of miles. Hmph, I will not let you succeed."

Lin Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes revealing immense killing intent.

After the Heaven-Destroying Seal disrupted spacetime, the Sick Master lost his original cultivation, but the life seed within his body was not sealed. Those who cultivate life energy can extend their lives indefinitely as long as the life seed within their bodies remains intact. What is particularly domineering is that life energy practitioners can absorb the life energy left behind by all living beings in the outside world and transform it into their own power. This is a taboo, never adopted by cultivators, because gaining power by killing others would certainly be unacceptable to many cultivators if it were to spread.

Although the Sick Master is a peerless genius with exceptional talent in cultivation, he is completely a novice when it comes to martial arts. In his eyes, these flashy, showy moves were utterly worthless. Therefore, when he traveled through time and space to the chaotic space, he did not accept the modification of the family's quantum computer data, losing his cultivation as a martial arts master. Even if he was a genius, he was no match for Lin Yuan, who had already mastered the unique skills of various dynasties and schools. It should be noted that before arriving in the chaotic space, Lin Yuan had copied all the martial arts data stored in his family's quantum computer and then diligently cultivated for a period of time while traversing two thousand years of Chinese history. Even without any energy to contend for supremacy in the Heavenly Realm, his martial arts skills from the mortal world were enough to protect him in the chaotic space.

The Sick Master saw his own shortcomings, which is why he resorted to such a ruthless scheme. After being demoted to the mortal world, he impersonated Lin Yuan, calling himself the Pitying Flower Emperor, and stirred up a series of bloody storms in the martial arts world. The ancient Central Plains, following the Mount Hua Sword Tournament four years prior for the supreme ranking, was once again engulfed in turmoil.

He was also an exceptionally handsome man, possessing an appearance almost identical to Lin Yuan's. Upon entering the chaotic martial world, he stirred up a storm of scandalous affairs, and his true form vanished in the process of killing, leaving everyone uncertain of his true nature. Even those who sought to uncover the truth behind his actions dared not confront him directly, instead placing all the blame on Lin Yuan.

At his instigation, Ye Yuchangsheng seized the opportunity to rally the world, vowing to kill Lin Yuan before the world as atonement. Lin Yuan, upon descending the mountain and hearing the news, was enraged and immediately embarked on a journey to hunt down the Sick Master. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Without his astonishing cultivation, the Sick Master was merely a top-tier expert in the mortal realm, not a threat. If he didn't seize the opportunity to kill him, he himself would suffer if the Sick Master recovered.

Lin Yuan's plan was quite shrewd, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Before his actions could truly unfold, the martial artists, misled and encouraged by Ye Yuchangsheng, immediately found Lin Yuan. Those who didn't want to kill would be killed by others. This was a misunderstanding with no room for negotiation, and given Lin Yuan's arrogant nature, he disdained further explanation. Needless to say, a fierce bloodbath ensued. Although Lin Yuan killed all the intruders, he also paid a heavy price. More than a dozen huge wounds would prevent him from unleashing his full martial arts power for a month.

With each kill, the bloodlust in his eyes intensified, and the demonic aura emanating from his body gradually began to solidify. This was a side effect of using his own blood to activate the Myriad Demons Array—a divine inheritance, a physique capable of destroying the heavens. Once he turned to the demonic path, he could invisibly absorb the essence of the dead to forge himself. If this trend continues, within a month, he could absorb the death energy and resentment emanating from the martial artists he has killed to achieve the true form of a great demon. Without supernatural powers or the power of heaven and earth, he could once again manipulate the profound power of nature. Would

Heaven grant him this opportunity? A dozen or so martial arts experts who had just glimpsed the secrets of heaven, and the supreme beings who had been re-sent back to the mortal realm by the Sealed Heaven Origin, all felt intense unease. Lin Yuan's appearance had disrupted the martial world, causing it to become turbulent once more.

Desert, ancient plains.

A towering figure, as majestic as a mountain, stood with his hands behind his back. His powerful aura was fully contained, yet it still couldn't conceal the domineering, arrogant, and kingly demeanor that shone through the clouds.

Chapter 10 The Condor Hero

"You're waiting for me?"

A purple figure flew from the distant ancient road, its light and graceful movements employing the renowned martial arts technique, 'Treading Snow Without a Trace'. He saw a towering figure approaching, stopping before him, and coldly asked,

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's been a long time. Your elegance has only grown more unparalleled."

The mysterious man replied calmly, quietly watching the approaching purple figure, none other than Lin Yuan, who had once again thrown the chaotic martial world into turmoil.

"Don't waste your breath on me. If you're here to kill me, then make your move," Lin Yuan said impatiently.

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? I am not one of those fools in the martial world who, after being fooled by Ye Yuchangsheng, becomes dizzy and launches an attack on you without knowing what's good for them. Heh heh, who are you to be favored by the ruler of the Heavenly Realm? How could they possibly provoke you? They should open their eyes wide and see clearly." The mysterious man still smiled faintly.

"Then what is your purpose in waiting for me here? Don't tell me that your purpose here is just to exchange a few meaningless words with me." Lin Yuan snorted.

"Since our parting at the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, I have greatly admired the Emperor and simply wished to befriend you," the mysterious man said with a faint smile. "

Friend? Someone like me? Do you think I have friends? Great Condor Hero, you're quite the joker. Don't forget, I am no longer the unscrupulous youth I was four years ago. Bloodthirsty Monarch, did you hear that? I am now the Bloodthirsty Monarch, not the Heavenly Beauty Emperor. Don't get the wrong person," Lin Yuan sneered.

The Great Condor Hero, whose real name is Yang Guo, courtesy name Gaizhi, was ranked second among the new Five Greats of the martial arts world in the third Mount Hua Sword Tournament, and was known as the Western Madman. He initially studied under the Quanzhen Sect, learning the Quanzhen Swordplay, but later betrayed his master and joined the Ancient Tomb Sect, practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. After leaving the mountain, the young man encountered a series of fortuitous events. The five great masters of the old martial arts world—Western Poison, Northern Beggar, Eastern Heretic, and Southern Emperor—all bestowed upon him their sect's secret techniques: Toad Stance, Dog-Beating Staff, Finger Flicking Skill, and One-Finger Divine Skill, all of which he mastered. Later, he received the sword-binding technique from Dugu Qiubai and practiced swordsmanship on the shores of the East Sea for over ten years, achieving great mastery. He created the Ecstasy Palm, becoming a grandmaster of martial arts. He then joined forces with the giant eagle left behind by Dugu Qiubai, appearing in the martial arts world to search for his beloved wife. He took it upon himself to help the world and practice benevolence, thus earning the title of the Condor Hero. In the fourth Mount Hua Sword Tournament in a time-warped era, he ranked eleventh on the Supreme List.

After Lin Yuan was sent back to the 22nd century by the Time-Warrior Priest, with the successive arrival and rule of Pang Huijuan and the Sick Master in the Heavenly Realm and True Martial Realm, most of the top 100 experts on the Supreme List were fought over by these two as reserve forces. Aside from a select few martial arts masters like Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Ximen Chuixue, who were practically superhuman in their power, only those deemed unqualified were allowed to enter the Holy Realm. The rest remained in the mortal realm. Yang Guo, who had already reached the Void Breaking Realm, chose to remain in the mortal world because he had only glimpsed the secrets of heaven and did not wish to participate in the boundary war. It was only because he had Dugu Qiubai as his reincarnation master and support that Pang Huijuan and the Sick Master refrained from harming him.

"Bloodthirsty Monarch, heh, Emperor, that's just wishful thinking on your part. In the mortal realm now, your new title isn't Bloodthirsty Monarch, but 'Flower-Pitying Emperor,' bestowed upon you by your mortal enemy, the mastermind behind the scenes of the True Martial Realm," Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

"Flower-Pitying Emperor, heh heh, do I still look like a person who pities flowers now? Do I still pity flowers?" Lin Yuan sneered.

"Yes, after the upheaval in the City of Heavenly Gifts, you are indeed no longer a person who pities flowers. But have you considered that there might be a misunderstanding? Why force yourself to fall into the demonic path and become the Bloodthirsty Monarch?" Yang Guo said calmly.

"Misunderstanding? Even if it's a misunderstanding, so what? Do I have a way back? Even if I do, I don't intend to turn back," Lin Yuan said coldly. "Since things have come to this, let me have a final showdown with that bastard who impersonated me. Lianhua, go to hell!"

"Although the Heavenly Slaughter Emperor is a bit despicable, Your Majesty, you don't need to cause such a bloodbath. Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. Although the Heavenly Slaughter Emperor has lost his earth-shaking cultivation and fallen to the mortal realm, his strength is still not to be underestimated," Yang Guo said.

"Do you think I'm bound to lose to that bastard? Heavenly Slaughter, heh, this despicable and shameless fellow, on one hand, calls himself the Heavenly Slaughter Emperor, slaughtering thousands of miles of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, he gives me another name, Lianhua, to swindle and deceive the martial arts world. Behind the scenes, he pushes all the blame for the people killed under the name of Heavenly Slaughter onto my head. What does he take me for? A scapegoat to take the blame for him?" Lin Yuan sneered.

"Then what does Your Majesty intend to do?" Yang Guo asked.

"Stop killing with killing. Only the price of blood can wash away the hatred in my heart," Lin Yuan said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you cannot do this," Yang Guo said calmly.

"You want to stop me?" Lin Yuan's gaze turned cold as he said indifferently.

"I want to try my best; whether it succeeds or not is up to fate," Yang Guo said calmly.

"Heaven's will, haha, heaven's will? This world is too realistic. What talk of heaven's will? Even if there is heaven's will, I will defy it." Lin Yuan snorted coldly and said, "You've been waiting here for so long, spouting so much nonsense, just to stop me from hunting down those bastards in the True Martial Realm who, even after being banished to the mortal world, still desperately protect that brat Tian Sha, and the mortal martial artists who aid and abet them."

"Actually, I anticipated you'd appear here. My purpose in waiting for you here wasn't to stop you from hunting down Tian Sha Emperor. I just wanted to make friends with you. I couldn't bear to see another bloodbath in the martial world, so I offered some advice. I also know that in your current state, it's difficult for me to persuade you." Yang Guo said calmly, "Knowing it's impossible, yet still doing it, that's enough. As for whether it succeeds, there's no need to worry about it. Emperor, you must have heard some rumors about me, right? Do I look like the kind of stubborn and inflexible person?"

“If you were a rigid and inflexible person, you wouldn’t be Yang Guo. But you’re waiting for me here, only wanting to be friends with me. Is your purpose that simple?” Lin Yuan looked at him with suspicion.

"As the saying goes, 'Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves.' Master Yang, do you think I'd believe you?"

"I don't believe you. Actually, I've glimpsed some of the secrets of heaven. Your background is mysterious, hiding countless secrets. Every time you're critically injured and on the verge of death, seemingly beyond saving, you often find a glimmer of hope hidden in the shadows. Your life is destined to be a journey against the heavens. Although I can't know the final outcome, I know that the Heavenly Emperor so desperately wants to kill you; he must be extremely wary of you. Your strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface; you belong to the kind of forbidden figure with limitless potential. Hehe, I want to get to know you, of course, for a certain purpose. You come from a space beyond our comprehension, and I hope that through your connection, I can one day enter that unknown world. This world has too many mysteries; how much can a person truly understand in a lifetime?" Yang Guo said with a faint smile, then let out a soft sigh.

Chapter 11: Sworn Brotherhood in the Wasteland

. Lin Yuan stared at him intently, as if analyzing the credibility of his words. Yang Guo's gaze was calm, a hint of anticipation faintly appearing on his face.

"Actually, if you wanted to enter the world I was born in, you could have easily sought refuge with the ruler of the Heavenly Realm, or submitted to the True Martial World. Why did you choose to become me? I have already fallen into the demonic path. You, a universally acknowledged hero of the righteous martial arts world, aren't you afraid of being associated with me and suffering disgrace?" After a long while, Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Hero, humph, it's all just a false title. Back then, when I was just a young man, I didn't hesitate to oppose the entire martial arts world because of her. Do you think I'll become cowardly just because I have such a false title? Humph, that's not the style of me, Xi Kuang." Yang Guo sneered, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"She..." Lin Yuan caught the pain in Yang Guo's eyes, pondering who "she" was in his words. A name flashed through his mind, and the scene of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament reappeared before his eyes. He immediately knew who "she" was.

"Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, whether you have fallen into the demonic path or not, whether you wish to defy the entire world, I, Yang Guo, have decided to be your friend for life." Yang Guo's calm words revealed a firm resolve.

"Friend, hehe, actually, before I became the Bloodthirsty King, I admired you greatly." Lin Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Since you dare to defy the world and associate with me, a demon king whom the world is determined to attack, based on your wicked yet righteous character, I have also decided to be your friend. If you don't mind, then I will respectfully call you Big Brother, what do you say?"

"I couldn't be happier, hehe, Your Majesty, if you call me Big Brother, then I won't stand on ceremony. From now on, we are sworn brothers, hehe, the two of us joining forces, from now on, we can roam the world freely, how exhilarating that would be!" Yang Guo said with great joy upon hearing this, and then he was about to gather some soil to hold the sworn brotherhood ceremony.

"Brother, there's no need for such a pointless ceremony. Since I've acknowledged you as my elder brother, from now on, you are naturally my elder brother. I've lived a life defying heaven and earth with pride; how could I possibly worship such a trivial ritual?" Lin Yuan stopped him, saying.

"Hehe, indeed, in that case, it seems I'm being pedantic as the elder brother," Yang Guo smiled.

Life is unpredictable; who could imagine that those who were enemies a moment ago would become bosom friends the next? Lin Yuan and Yang Guo smiled at each other, their two strong hands clasped tightly together, thus establishing an unbreakable brotherhood.

"The king of the world, who else but me? My sword shakes the heavens, shattering all laws; with Dugu emerging, who reigns supreme? Second brother, watch closely, this is the pinnacle of swordsmanship, long revered by all swordsmen—the return of ten thousand swords to their origin!"

Yang Guo let out a clear whistle, its sound echoing for miles, lingering for a long time.

A sword light shot into the sky, whipping up gusts of wind that raged and scattered stones and sand, uprooting trees and breaking branches. A deafening roar filled the air as an immense pressure swept across the heavens. Thousands of sword beams and countless sword energies surged towards the purple figure ahead like a tidal wave.

Layer upon layer of powerful energy suddenly appeared from the ground, the polar sword light seemingly the only force in the world, descending from above with unstoppable destructive force, unleashing a vast shockwave of air, its unparalleled power inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

"Indeed, the power of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin is boundless. It's a pity that your strength is still limited to the realm of top experts in the mortal world, not even reaching the initial stage of the Innate Realm. Although you are close to breaking through the void and have begun to understand the secrets of heaven, if you were to enter the True Martial Realm or the Heavenly Realm, hehe, judging from your cultivation, you could barely serve as a soldier guarding the Heavenly Gate."

With a faint laugh, two crimson blood lights appeared in the air, and a fierce killing aura soared into the sky. Lin Yuan stood proudly, and the crimson blood lights shooting out from his blood-red eyes carried endless destructive momentum and moved forward without hesitation. Gradually, a powerful force appeared that could transform the illusory into the real.

A vast power, boundless energy, collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a destructive force that tore through the air and ravaged everything within a ten-mile radius. Shocking cracks in the earth radiated outwards from beneath their feet.

The two imposing figures gazed at each other for a long time before bursting into laughter.

"What you say is quite right," Yang Guo said, laughing as he walked over. "Brother Yang is right. I see my shortcomings and that's why I don't want to enter the Heavenly Realm so quickly. Being a mere gatekeeper is too undignified. In the mortal world, I am a great hero, don't you think?"

This brotherly contest left him feeling incredibly satisfied. Although Lin Yuan no longer possessed forbidden supernatural powers, his body, forged from the culmination of all martial arts, and drawing power from the Bloodthirsty Demon Space Array, was gradually approaching the level of a Demon King. His Heaven-Destroying Inheritance and World-Destroying Eyes surpassed even Yang Guo's. Yang Guo could freely display his near-perfect cultivation level and find his weaknesses in the battle.

Admittedly, before meeting him, Lin Yuan had suffered several battles of varying sizes, sustaining serious injuries. For the next ten days or so, he couldn't unleash his full power, but he could still rely on the world-destroying blood light unleashed by his Eye of Annihilation to overwhelm Yang Guo. This also allowed him to experience the immense power and mystery of forces beyond the limits of human martial arts, further fueling his determination to pursue the Dao and strive to unlock the limits of human potential for infinite evolution.

"Brother, you're too modest. With your intelligence and talent, with a little more diligent training, you'll definitely break through your current realm quickly. You must know that under the immense pressure of the Sealed Heaven Origin, anyone who maintains a constant rate of improvement in their cultivation will surely make a surprising discovery after the Sealed Heaven Origin's power disappears. This is a rare opportunity!" Lin Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Big brother will work hard, second brother, you must also keep working hard," Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

Lin Yuan smiled and was about to reply when a series of chaotic noises suddenly came from afar, interspersed with soft female voices. A white-clad figure flew towards the two of them, using the lightness technique that was actually the secret technique of the Yihua Palace, Floating Light and Shadow.

How familiar this person is! Just as Lin Yuan's doubts jumped into his mind, the person saw Lin Yuan and Yang Guo and his face showed surprise and joy. He called out from afar,

"Emperor Tianyan, Brother Yang, quickly save me."

Chapter 12 Jiang Feng Suddenly Appears

"Jiang Feng, how did he appear here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan and Yang Guo immediately recognized the owner of the clear and pleasant voice. The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Emperor, Brother Yang, it's so good to see you!" Jiang Feng flew to the two of them. His inexplicable surprise was like that of a crying child who had received candy. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

The two men gave him a cursory glance. His long hair was disheveled, his once exceptionally handsome face was slightly puffy, and his bright eyes betrayed his deep fatigue. His white robes were stained with specks of crimson blood, as if he had been through several battles before arriving here. He looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from the former most handsome man in the martial world; he resembled a refugee fleeing famine.

"Jiang Feng, how did you get here? What happened?" Yang Guo asked.

"Something terrible has happened! A dozen days ago, a strange event occurred in the world. Many powerful immortals and gods in the Heavenly Realm, the Holy Realm, the True Martial Realm, and the Cultivation Realm lost their supernatural powers, and a large portion of them were banished to the mortal realm. A palace called the Lianhua Palace, claiming to be ruled by the Lianhua Emperor, suddenly appeared in the mortal realm. They began to capture beautiful women in various kingdoms, with women on the Jiangshan Beauty Ranking being their primary targets. As you should know, women on the Jiangshan Beauty Ranking are not like those on the Martial Arts Beauty Ranking. They don't need to possess profound cultivation, but they must have stunning beauty, be talented and beautiful, and be proficient in all the arts.

Normally, this wouldn't be surprising. After all, heretical sects have existed since ancient times, and are not tolerated by the righteous path or the underworld. However, what is surprising and infuriating is that the Lianhua Palace has four Holy Maidens, each one exceptionally beautiful enough to be on the Jiangshan Beauty Ranking, yet for some reason, they have set up another sect within the Lianhua Palace..." In the secluded abode, every powerful figure listed on the Supreme Ranking and every handsome man in the Tianjun Martial Arts Record became a target for their hunt.

Normally, many martial arts masters, with their profound internal strength and top-tier power, wouldn't be so easily captured. However, the four Holy Maidens of Lianhua Palace somehow obtained a bewitching incense called 'Hundred-Mile Fragrance Softening Bone Dissolving Powder.' Anyone within a hundred miles of its inhalation would collapse, their bones softening and their martial arts dissolving, utterly powerless. Strangely enough, this drug had no harm to ordinary people, but it was a deadly poison to martial artists. Even those martial arts supreme experts banished from the Heavenly Realm, the Holy Realm, and the True Martial Realm couldn't avoid it. It was said to be a forbidden holy medicine from the Xuan Yin Mingwang Star, but no one knew what this Xuan Yin Mingwang Star was or what kind of medicine it was. "Due to the sudden turn of events, many of us were caught off guard and captured..."

Jiang Feng gasped for breath, speaking hastily.

"We were imprisoned in Lianhua Palace, enduring inhuman torture from the Four Holy Maidens every day. They cultivate an extremely insidious and vicious technique, primarily absorbing the essence of men. The more handsome and powerful their target, the greater the benefits they gain. If my elder brother hadn't seized the opportunity and used the remaining power of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill to transfer the medicinal properties from my body to his, I wouldn't have had a chance to escape, and thus wouldn't have been able to spread this news to the world."

"Xuan Yin Mingwang Star, so it was you behind this." Lin Yuan muttered to himself upon hearing this.

Yang Guo looked at him strangely and asked Jiang Feng with a smile, "Brother Jiang, it was a few days ago when you were captured and imprisoned in Lianhua Palace."

"Uh, the day after the Heavenly Change, the day when the powerful figures of the various Holy Realms were banished to the mortal world." Jiang Feng thought for a moment and answered confidently.

"Then do you know who the Lianhua Emperor is?" Yang Guo asked with a smile.

"No," Jiang Feng looked at him strangely and said, "Does Brother Yang know who this person is?"

"Far away yet right before our eyes," Yang Guo said with a smile.

"Ah, could it be the Emperor?" Jiang Feng looked at Lin Yuan in surprise upon hearing this, and after a long while, he stammered.

"That's right, but he is not the wicked monarch who rules Lianhua Palace as you mentioned, but rather the spokesperson promoted by the Heavenly Slaughter Emperor who has slaughtered hundreds of miles of the Central Plains." Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

"What's going on?" Jiang Feng looked at Lin Yuan in confusion. "I also believe that the Emperor is not Lord Lianhua, because Emperor Tianyan is ranked first on the Tianjun Martial Arts Record and is the primary person chosen by the Four Holy Maidens. If the Emperor were truly Lord Lianhua, why would he order his own arrest?"

"Wait, something's not right, Brother Yang. You said the Emperor is the spokesperson chosen by Emperor Tiansha. What's going on? Could it be that there are two Emperors Lianhua in the martial world, or that the two Emperors Lianhua are referring to the same person?" Jiang Feng frowned and said, "A conspiracy. There's definitely a conspiracy here."

"Of course there's a conspiracy. If there weren't, how could the world have turned against me? Sick Master, show your true colors. No matter how you hide them, the sinister aura within you cannot be changed." Just as Yang Guo was about to answer, Lin Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said coldly.

"Emperor, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand." Jiang Feng was taken aback and forced a smile.

"What do you mean? Do you have to put it all out in the open? To be honest, I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've already come looking for me. I have to admire your courage." Lin Yuan sneered, and two beams of destructive blood light suddenly appeared, easily shattering his body before he could even react.

"Second brother, how could you act so recklessly?" Yang Guo, seeing this, wanted to help but was too late, and couldn't help but reprimand him.

"Brother, do you really think he's Jiang Feng? Yan Nantian is a powerful figure of his generation. While he might not be considered a martial arts supreme in this chaotic spacetime, he's definitely someone of importance. His 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill' has reached its peak, and he's not far from breaking through the void. Although the 'Hundred Mile Fragrance Soft Bone Dissolving Powder' from Xuan Yin Mingwang Star is vicious and domineering, it's utterly insignificant to a master like him. If he were defeated by such a petty bastard, he wouldn't be Yan Nantian. If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind this daring to extend their reach to those from the major realms is definitely that 'Heavenly Killer Brat' you mentioned. Hmph, this person will do anything, no matter how vicious, to achieve their goals..." "It's something that can be done. Although Yan Nantian is powerful, he is far from being a match for the weakened Patient Master. Xuan Yin Mingwang Star is his residence. Even if Jiang Feng is exceptionally intelligent, he could not possibly know about the existence of this place, let alone the strange name 'Hundred Mile Fragrance Soft Bone Dissolving Powder'. The people of Lianhua Palace could not possibly know these secrets, so how could they have unintentionally revealed this information? Of course, if they did it intentionally, then only the Four Holy Maidens would be suspicious." Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Oh, what's suspicious about them? Could it be that, Second Brother, you know their origins?" Yang Guo asked curiously.

"Not just know them, you know them inside and out. Master, if I'm not mistaken, the Four Holy Maidens are the energy-encapsulated cyborgs you're so proud of, right? Heh, after so many years of meticulous refinement, their power must be extraordinary now. Why don't you hurry up and let them show themselves to me? Charming, alluring, charming, and beautiful, they've been hiding in the mortal realm for decades, harming countless innocent men and cultivating five henchmen to act like tyrants: Li Qi, Long Jun, Yang Qian, Xiao Yunfeng, and Gu Feng. How many innocent women have they harmed? You must have benefited quite a bit from it all. Didn't you want to kill me? You set this trap today just to lure me in. Now that I'm here, your henchmen should show themselves." Lin Yuan said coldly. Chapter 13 Laser Annihilation Force (

November 4th ) "Very good, very good. Now that you know everything, I don't need to pretend anymore." The Sick Master's cold laughter suddenly rang out. Yang Guo looked around in surprise. The next moment, a dazzling crimson figure slowly appeared before the two of them. Four extraordinarily beautiful women stood quietly behind him, their exquisite and perfect faces, their delicate bodies seemingly imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, emanating a powerful aura capable of bewitching all beings. Not far away, five pale-faced youths exuding a strong evil aura were coldly staring at them. One of them, a youth with long blue hair, looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes revealing intense, bone-chilling hatred. "Gu Feng, this useless piece of trash, you still keep him around?" Lin Yuan sensed the hatred emanating from the other party, his eyes widening in surprise. After recognizing the other party's face, he smiled faintly, "Sick Master, I didn't expect you to abandon your once-proud energy body and start using the Blood Demon Body instead." "If my Heavenly King Supreme Energy Body hadn't been suppressed by the Sealed Heaven Origin, would I need to torture myself like this? If you hadn't defied the heavens first, abandoning your Celestial Body and cultivating the Demon King Body instead, would I need to wrong myself to protect myself? It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so pathetic. I will settle this score with you one by one," the Sick Master said coldly. "Supreme One, you? Hmph, hmph, oh my god." Lin Yuan seemed to have heard a great joke, and sneered, "You despicable bastard, you're not even worthy to carry my shoes, yet you dare to call yourself Supreme One? It's utterly laughable. You say it's all my fault. If you hadn't provoked me out of jealousy, causing me to be knocked back to the starting stage several times, I wouldn't have needed to use my status as the inheritor of Heaven to forcefully activate the Myriad Demons Array and practice the extremely cruel Demon King's Technique. Alright, we're now in a situation of no return. There's no point in wasting words. Let's see who wins and who lives. It's a battle for survival of the strong, that's the principle." Lin Yuan said coldly. "Summon all those useless trash of yours to the battle." "Second brother, don't be impulsive." Yang Guo reached out to stop him, saying, "They outnumber us and have the upper hand. Although the Heavenly Slaughter Emperor's strength has greatly declined, we cannot underestimate him. Moreover, he has the Four Holy Maidens and Five Flower-Picking Envoys of Lianhua Palace behind him, a total of nine experts." "Four Holy Maidens and five envoys, what are they? Just a few petty thugs who know a little bit of rudimentary kung fu. Nine experts, hehe, just a few useless fools, utterly incapable of being defeated." Lin Yuan sneered. Upon hearing this, the four women and five men behind the Sick Master simultaneously revealed intense anger on their faces. "Stop posing there, let's fight." Lin Yuan said, and took the initiative to attack. Two beams of murderous blood light suddenly appeared in the void, easily shattering the Four Holy Maidens and five envoys standing behind the Sick Master. "As long as my true body is not destroyed, even if you kill them tens of thousands of times, you will not be able to make them truly disappear." The Sick Master ignored the attack coming from his side and said calmly. "I know, so I didn't really intend to kill them. I just used them to test my eyesight. Sigh, after the Star-Destroying Sword exploded, I've aged a lot, and my eyesight isn't what it used to be," Lin Yuan said calmly. "Enough nonsense, kill..." Several angry shouts rang out, coming from the Four Holy Maidens and the Five Envoys, whose bodies had been reassembled after being shattered. The nine of them attacked together, rushing towards Lin Yuan simultaneously. A boundless hatred swept up, and a vast amount of destructive energy surged forth. "How do you manage your subordinates, master? Attacking without permission, sigh, no manners at all. Let me, an outsider, teach them a lesson." Lin Yuan clenched his fist tightly, twisted his neck forcefully, and formed a sword finger with the index and middle fingers of his left hand. A blood-red aura of murderous intent pierced through the air, and the immense power easily shattered the nine men's angry attack. "Is that all the power you have? The healer is too stingy. Why didn't he leave you any strength to save your lives?" Lin Yuan shook his head, his expression showing extreme contempt. "Damn it, today the nine of us will join forces to kill you here and avenge my master." The purple-haired woman at the head of the group said coldly. "You, Feng Qing, humph, your charm can only be shown to your master in bed. Watch how I destroy you..." Lin Yuan said coldly, his two fingers forming a sword like lightning. Before a murderous aura could be shot out, his power was interrupted by a soft yet icy voice. "How dare you be disrespectful to my master! Master, let Feng Lin avenge you." A dazzling white light descended from the sky, and the destructive power that ignored everything instantly spread within tens of millions of feet. "Laser Annihilation Force..." Lin Yuan and the Sick Master both paled upon seeing this. This was an absolute power capable of annihilating everything, ignoring the rules of heaven and earth, ignoring the laws of the universe. Even if their Heavenly King power hadn't disappeared, they couldn't withstand this destructive energy. Where could they hide? The Laser Annihilation Force was a forbidden, large-scale laser beam-focused destructive weapon used to destroy enemy planets during the interstellar wars of the Great Universe Federation era. Miniature Laser Annihilation Forces were generally equipped on high-purity anthropomorphic intelligent robots. Once fired, their beams could destroy all military structures on the surface of military planets. The truly large-scale Laser Annihilation Forces were generally equipped on super-large interstellar battleships. Once fired, they could instantly destroy several planets as large as stars, possessing the most powerful and domineering force. "Big Brother, get out of the way quickly!" Lin Yuan grabbed Yang Guo, who was standing there dumbfounded, and fled in panic. His speed was even faster than the speed of light. The "Blood Escape Space" healer abandoned his nine subordinates the instant a blinding white light appeared, unleashing his life energy spatial teleportation technique, shattering the void and vanishing. "Boom..." Amidst the massive explosion, the Four Holy Maidens and Five Envoys were caught in the blast, not even having time to react before being torn to shreds by the laser's world-destroying power. The immense destructive energy instantly caused the earth to collapse, turning everything within a ten-thousand-foot radius into ruins. Lin Yuan, having lost his power to traverse the heavens and earth, could not outrun the laser's speed, no matter how fast he fled. "A Blood-Red Light Stretches Ten Thousand Feet"

Lin Yuan roared, unleashing a torrent of crimson light that defied the heavens. In that brief moment of respite, a vast laser force easily devoured the crimson light, the overwhelming destructive power shattering Lin Yuan into pieces. Yang Guo, however, was saved from being shattered by a powerful palm strike from Lin Yuan, which propelled him out of the laser's edge.

"Second brother, are you alright?"

Despite Yang Guo's unparalleled martial arts and exceptional intelligence, the sudden turn of events left him bewildered. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan had already sent him flying.

(Feeling a bit down, I couldn't resist posting a couple more chapters. Hmm, a friend asked me to help out with "The Rebirth of the Heavenly Venerable," it's really good, brothers, you can check it out when you have time.)

Chapter 14: Reunion with Feng Lin

"Feng Lin, what are you doing? Why did you launch an indiscriminate attack on me too? Don't you even respect me as your master?"

On the ancient desolate road not far away, a bloody shadow suddenly appeared. Lin Yuan, having reconstituted his body, didn't have time to answer Yang Guo before angrily shouting.

"Fortunately, I'm gone, and I still possess the immortal demon king body transformed from a Heavenly Inheritor. Although the power of the laser world-destroying aura is domineering, it won't cause me devastating damage." He secretly rejoiced.

"Master, I'm so sorry. I've missed you terribly since I last saw you. Seeing you today, I was overjoyed and furious at Feng Qing Si's offense. In a moment of carelessness, I accidentally struck you. Fortunately, you possess an immortal body; otherwise, I would have been beyond redemption even if I died a hundred times. Please forgive me, Master."

After the dazzling white light disappeared, a beautiful girl with long purple hair reaching her feet and wearing a white holy robe knelt before Lin Yuan, her face filled with fear and trepidation. Her delicate face and purple-gold eyes, just like Lin Yuan's, radiated a mischievous smile.

"You call this an accident? It was clearly intentional. I wonder if you've truly undergone a complete metamorphosis and evolution into a human."

Lin Yuan saw the smile in her beautiful eyes and muttered to himself, but his face showed no anger. In front of this highly refined humanoid intelligent robot who had been by his side since birth, he couldn't put on any airs, nor did he need to be on guard. Even if the whole world betrayed him, these beautiful warrior girls who remained loyal to him would only ever hold one name in their hearts: his, their master's name.

Even when facing a supreme being with forbidden power, they would never choose surrender as their only option, only death.

"Never mind, it's not your fault, Feng Lin. How did you end up here?" Lin Yuan feigned anger, but his tone betrayed a hint of joy. Even though he had transformed into a demon and his heart was no longer pure, he couldn't forget these beautiful warrior girls around him.

"Reporting to Master, since you were sealed into another dimension by the Time-Space Priest, Young Master Bing Shi came from his family and secretly opened up the True Martial Boundary. He then ordered Feng Qing and others to launch a strong attack on Heavenly Gift City. To avoid harming the innocent, I abandoned the city and now reside in the Heavenly Realm, guarding Miss Juan's side," Feng Lin respectfully replied.

“No wonder. I knew it! Why couldn’t I sense your presence the moment the City of Heaven was destroyed? It turns out you had already left. But, this… this…” Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan finally understood the question that had been nagging at him all day. However, he stopped mid-sentence.

“The ladies didn’t truly betray you. It’s my fault for being incompetent and unable to protect all their families, which led to them being captured by Young Master Bing Shi and used as leverage against them. They chose to betray you entirely because they were forced by circumstances. Please forgive them, Master.” Feng Lin seemed to have guessed the meaning behind Lin Yuan’s words and said in a panicked voice.

“So much time has passed. Why bring them up again? As long as you are all alright, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his eyes were immediately replaced by a strong, murderous aura. The last trace of tenderness disappeared, replaced by a resolute determination. Things had come to this, the demonic body was complete. Even if he could go back to that day, could he still make time flow again and reverse history? Although he was fearless and could freely traverse space and time, altering the life trajectories of others, he was powerless against the predetermined facts of his own life. Fate is not inviolable, but one's own will is difficult to reverse; this is the rule of the grand cosmic game.

"Master," Feng Lin heard this, her heart aching, her eyes immediately revealing undisguised concern.

"In the years I was away, it seems you have truly completed your final transformation and evolution in the Heavenly Realm, becoming a real being," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Master..."

"Feng Lin, you don't need to say anything more. I don't want to hear anything now. That's enough. From now on, protect those you want to protect well." Lin Yuan said, turning and walking away without turning his head.

"Brother, if you don't mind, why not go and see the Heavenly Realm? Perhaps you will experience unexpected changes there," Lin Yuan said calmly as he walked to Yang Guo's side.

"I appreciate your kind offer, Second Brother. But it's not time to enter the Heavenly Realm yet. I still want to hone my skills in the mortal realm. Anyway, all the martial arts masters who entered the various realms have been banished to the mortal realm. Entering the Heavenly Realm now wouldn't be very rewarding, and it wouldn't be as free as the mortal realm," Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

"As you wish, Brother. However, I have important matters to attend to, so let's part ways for now," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Second Brother, are you planning to take this opportunity to catch up with Tian Sha?" Yang Guo asked with a faint smile.

"As the ancients said, 'Strike while the iron is hot.' Since he can kick me when I'm down, why can't I take advantage of his misfortune? If I let him recover from his injuries and then go after him, the difficulty will increase significantly. It's better to join forces and wipe him out while Feng Lin is here. The laser 'World-Destroying Power' that Feng Lin just threw is enough to keep the Sick Master from coming after me for a while. Hehe, if I don't go after him, those nine good-for-nothings will probably reappear soon. Brother, are you listed in the Heavenly Talent Martial Arts

Record? If so, you'd better watch out for those vixens from Lianhua Palace, hehe." Lin Yuan said with a faint smile, then seemed to remember something. "Ah, right, what is this Heavenly Talent Martial Arts Record? And what are the 'Peerless Beauties of the Land' and the 'Peerless Martial Arts Record'?"

"You don't know the Heavenly Talent Martial Arts Record?" Yang Guo looked at him strangely and said with a faint smile. "The Tianjun Martial Arts Record was created by the all-knowing scholar of the martial arts world on a whim after the creation of the Supreme Ranking at the Mount Hua Sword Tournament. It's a handbook specifically for recording the famous handsome men in the chaotic martial arts world. He originally wrote it out of boredom and didn't intend to circulate it among the martial arts community. However, some well-informed person obtained it first and spread it around, making it one of the most popular lists at the time, alongside the Supreme Ranking. The Jiangshan Beauty Ranking, on the other hand, was created by Tianxiao Tianji in response to the voices of women across the land after the Tianjun Martial Arts Record became popular." The first list is used to record the list of beauties with both talent and beauty, and unparalleled charm, in the chaotic timeline. The second list, however, is a branch of the list of beauties of the land, specifically used to record the list of supreme beauties who have long been famous in the martial arts world. These three lists are even more attractive than the Supreme Ranking. People often say that if a woman can marry a man recorded in the Tianjun Martial Arts Record, she will lack nothing in this life. If a man is born, he should choose a woman from the list of beauties of the land or the list of beauties of the martial arts world as his criteria for choosing a spouse, only then can he be considered perfect. "

Is that so? In that case, elder brother's handsome appearance should also be listed in the Tianjun Martial Arts Record, I wonder where he is?" Lin Yuan said with a faint smile.

"To be honest, compared to my second brother who is ranked first, I am only thirty-ninth." Yang Guo said with a slight blush.

"No matter how handsome one's appearance is, it's just an illusion, brother, why bother with it?" Lin Yuan said calmly. "Alright, I still need to go to Lianhua Palace, brother, why don't we say goodbye here?"

"Although I am no match for Tian Sha, the sudden rise of Lianhua Palace must have resulted in the capture of many renowned experts. Even if not for personal reasons, for the sake of all heroes, I must make a trip to Lianhua Palace. Second brother, you won't mind if your elder brother accompanies you, will you?" Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

"How could I? As long as elder brother is willing, I would be more than happy. Feng Lin, let's set off." Lin Yuan said calmly, and a blood-red shadow streaked through the air.

"Yes, Master." Feng Lin replied respectfully, her delicate body rising into the air, closely following Lin Yuan.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered any rivals. Hehe, the winds of change are rising again, how exciting this will be." Yang Guo smiled faintly as he followed Lin Yuan's figure and flew away.

Chapter 15 The Peerless Enchantress

Lianhua Palace, located atop the Tianchi Lake in the Northern Desert of the Central Plains after the chaotic timeline, is a place where allure, enchantment, charm, and beauty are used to hunt down handsome men and imprison them. It is also a palace where healers absorb the energy of yin and yang to fill and refine their own inner life energy.

At the summit of Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains of northern Mongolia, where the spiritual veins of various chaotic times and spaces converge, forming the source of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a place of exceptional talent and spiritual energy,

a blood-red figure flew northward from the east.

As it drew nearer, one could see that this person had long, blood-red hair that reached their feet, two blood-red eyes radiating intense killing intent, and a pale face that was strikingly handsome, yet twisted with a chilling hatred. The purple holy robes were stained with strange purple blood.

"That despicable Feng Lin, who ruined my grand plan at such a crucial moment! I will not let this go! One day, I will make you pay double!"

A cold voice echoed across the Tianshan Mountains, a vast killing intent appearing and disappearing in an instant.

Another blood-red light shot northward from the east, a massive energy fluctuation filled with deadly intent, even more astonishing than the aura emanating from the blood-red figure.

"Arriving so quickly, it seems you really intend to take advantage of the chaos."

The blood-red figure ahead sneered, disappearing instantly.

"Hide? Hmph, let's see where you can hide. Even if I turn the world upside down, I will hunt you down and kill you."

The newcomer was Lin Yuan. He sneered, his powerful demonic divine sense instantly spreading out, meticulously searching for any movement within a hundred miles of Tianshan.

"Master, Young Master Bing Shi has already escaped a thousand miles away."

A layer of white light swept across the sky, parting like ripples on water, revealing Feng Lin's beautiful figure.

"A thousand miles away? Impossible! He lost all his cultivation under the Sealed Heaven Origin. Even if his life energy can still be activated, he couldn't possibly have such a long escape speed." Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

“Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have this speed. However, after using the name of Emperor Lianhua to kill and devour so many innocent people, his life energy has recovered to the Sky Awakener stage, not far from the peak. That’s why he can have such a fast speed. Master, although you have lost your energy body and possess the Demon King’s body, you can manipulate the power of nature without supernatural powers or the energy of heaven and earth. Facing his recovery speed, you are only evenly matched. You don’t have much of a chance of winning.” Feng Lin said calmly.

“Isn’t that obvious? That’s why I asked you to come with me to hunt him down. Otherwise, I would have asked you to come with me for fun.”

Lin Yuan glared at her irritably.

“Feng Lin, lock onto him as your target. Today, no matter what, I will fight him to the death.”

Although Lin Yuan’s demonic divine sense was powerful, it could not keep up with the speed of the Sick Master’s escape. Only the energy divine sense of the Universal Planet Positioning Laser Wave Detector that Feng Lin transformed into after evolving into a human could detect the Sick Master’s whereabouts.

"Yes, Master," Feng Lin replied respectfully, then asked with a puzzled look, "Master, what should we do with Lianhua Palace?"

"Just use a laser-based world-destroying technique to raze it to the ground," Lin Yuan coldly glanced at the magnificent ancient palace complex atop the towering Tianshan Mountain and said indifferently.

"Second Brother, no! A large number of innocent people have been captured inside. Let me storm Lianhua Palace, release them, and then destroy it." Before Feng Lin could answer, Yang Guo's urgent roar came rapidly from the foot of Tianshan Mountain. *

You really don't care about anything! Leaving aside the martial arts practitioners imprisoned in Lianhua Palace, just the luxurious decorations alone could be auctioned off in the market and converted into silver, enough to help countless disaster victims. It's such a waste to destroy it like this.* Yang Guo muttered to himself, his speed increasing even further. He knew that Lin Yuan was acting on impulse and was capable of anything, so how could he not feel a little uneasy?

"As expected, he has reached the Void Breaking Realm. Even at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, at least a hundred miles away, he could hear me with his profound internal energy. Hmm, not bad, limitless potential." Lin Yuan secretly admired Yang Guo's strength upon hearing this, and said calmly.

"Since you are so chivalrous, brother, I cannot refuse you. Very well, you can handle Lianhua Palace. Feng Lin, let's go."

A powerful voice echoed far and wide, startling countless figures flying up from the summit of Tianshan Mountain. Lin Yuan glanced at them indifferently; dozens of beautiful women with alluring figures were flying towards the foot of the mountain, weapons in hand. Clearly, they intended to resist. Judging from their appearance, they were likely young female messengers from Lianhua Palace, reacting instinctively to an intruder.

"Brother, we will meet again another day. Let's say goodbye for now." Before leaving, Lin Yuan didn't forget to add a few words.

"Alright, then brother, you should deal with Lianhua Palace first, and we brothers can reunite later." Yang Guo laughed loudly, while Lin Yuan had already taken Feng Lin far away.

"The one who comes is none other than Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, ranked eleventh on the Supreme Ranking and thirty-ninth on the Tianjun Martial Arts Record."

Halfway up Tianshan Mountain, a dozen long-haired beauties draped in transparent white gauze and wielding long swords surrounded Yang Guo.

One of the girls at the front had long purple hair, unlike the black hair of her companions. She had a pair of eyes similar to Lin Yuan's former purple and golden eyes, exuding a strong seductive charm. Her perfectly exquisite face, almost like a fairy's, was overflowing with infinite charm, truly deserving of the title of peerless enchantress.

The sheer white veil couldn't conceal her delicate beauty; her proportions were breathtakingly perfect. Her soft, swaying body exuded a breathtaking allure. Her fair, rounded arms and slender fingers pointed at Yang Guo with a mixture of coquettishness and reproach. An exceptionally pure and holy aura, mingled with a strong sense of seduction, assaulted Yang Guo's eyes, leaving him breathless with astonishment. Even with his vast experience of beauty, he couldn't help but marvel at the perfection of this masterpiece, truly incomparable to ordinary people.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way here? Are you a maidservant under the Holy Maiden of Lianhua Palace?" Yang Guo asked calmly after his initial amazement.

"No, I am the enchanting Space Goddess, one of the four Holy Maidens of Lianhua Palace. Hero Yang, didn't we already meet in the desolate ancient plains? How could you forget such an important person?" The purple-haired girl looked at Yang Guo with a mixture of coquettishness and reproach, her unparalleled beauty almost causing Yang Guo to become completely intoxicated.

The Holy Maiden Lianhua, with her unparalleled allure and captivating charm, was indeed astonishing. Yang Guo's resolve was unmatched; after a brief moment of amazement, his heart hardened, his body remained indifferent, and he was no longer moved.

"We've met before. You weren't like this just now," Yang Guo said calmly.

"How could mortals know of our unparalleled divine powers? What appeared on the desolate ancient plains just now was merely an avatar of mine. Otherwise, given Feng Lin's status as a Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Realm, the destructive energy laser beam of Annihilation would have been something even my master would have to avoid. How could I have survived? Hero Yang, although you possess unparalleled martial arts, you have yet to comprehend the Dao of Heaven. Why not take this opportunity to join my master's ranks and experience the True Martial Realm beneath the Dao of Heaven, the true meaning of immortality and indestructibility?" the purple-haired girl said with a charming laugh.

"Indeed, you have formed a sworn brotherhood with the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, and you may one day enter the Heavenly Realm. However, although the Heavenly Beauty Emperor may reign supreme for a time, he cannot reign forever. Faced with the unfathomable cultivation of my Lord, he lacks the conditions to contend for supremacy and will ultimately be unable to withstand the trend toward destruction. Hero Yang, why are you so fixated on this? As long as you join my Lianhua Palace and become a capable assistant under my Lord, you will have the vast land at your disposal, the most beautiful women in the Heavenly Realm to choose from, endless delicacies, and boundless eternal wealth. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than following the Heavenly Beauty Emperor and suffering the constant fear and carnage of war? If you wish, even the Four Holy Maidens of Fengqing, Yaorao, Jiaomei, and Meiyan, the Space Goddess, can become your concubines. Hero Yang, what do you say?" Yaorao tempted him gently.

"Yes, you four sisters are truly peerless beauties, capable of captivating the world. If it were anyone else, even without your persuasion, they would kneel before you in eager worship. Alas, I am a rough and unrefined man, utterly lacking in romantic understanding. I can only appreciate your kindness in my heart."

Yang Guo, upon hearing this, was slightly surprised, then smiled faintly. Beneath his calm and composed handsome face, however, he was on high alert. The strength of the four Holy Maidens of Lianhua Palace had always been shrouded in mystery in the chaotic martial arts world. As the ruler of the True Martial Realm, the Sick Master's true body was indestructible, and the four Holy Maidens, no matter how severely injured they suffered, could also live forever. Having witnessed Lin Yuan's bizarre strength on the desolate ancient plains, he naturally dared not doubt the strength of this supreme being, whose reputation currently ranked above Lin Yuan's. That was not a power on the same level as his own. Now, seeing this enchanting Holy Maiden, who should have died on the desolate ancient plains, reappear, Yang Guo naturally dared not be careless.

"Compared to worldly fame, I suddenly realize that being a chivalrous hero, the embodiment of justice, is far more pleasant. Enchanting Saintess, why don't we resolve this peacefully? If you release the martial artists from Lianhua Palace, the debt of your past captures of handsome men listed in the Tianjun Martial Arts Record will be wiped clean."

"Hehe, Master Yang, you're joking! Every handsome man in the Tianjun Martial Arts Record is the dream lover of all of us sisters. If we release them, wouldn't many sisters do something foolish? Master Yang was a renowned romantic in his youth; he should understand us." Enchanting Saintess chuckled.

"So, Enchanting Saintess doesn't intend to resolve this peacefully," Yang Guo said with a faint smile.

"Judging from Master Yang's attitude, he probably doesn't intend to join my master's ranks. It seems a battle between us is unavoidable," Enchanting Saintess sighed.

"However, I am ultimately a woman, and I hope that Hero Yang will show mercy and spare my life."

"Let's do it. What's wrong with giving you three moves?" Yang Guo said with a faint smile, his inner strength rapidly circulating throughout his body, a vast killing intent surging forth.

"Hero Yang is in such high spirits, and I cannot refuse. I will play with you for a while." The alluring woman said with a charming smile. "Sisters, serve Hero Yang well."

"Yes, Holy Maiden!" A dozen sweet voices responded, jade arms swaying lightly, a fragrant breeze blowing, and a dozen beautiful women instantly surrounded Yang Guo, dancing a seductive dance.

The waves of their bodies rose and fell gently, displaying a thousand kinds of charm and beauty. The coquettish reproaches, the irresistible allure of their eyes, the perfect curves, and the melodious voices intertwined to create a melody that would make one's soul fly away. If any man in the mortal world saw this, he would be willing to die under the peony flower and rush headlong into the flames without regret.

Yang Guo's willpower was far beyond that of ordinary martial arts grandmasters. Witnessing the current situation, the resolute look in his eyes gradually turned indifferent. The alluring dance was beautiful, but it concealed immense killing intent.

A gentle purple light enveloped her from the outside, and the next moment, a seductive figure appeared before Yang Guo, almost nestled in his arms. A sharp, invisible killing intent suddenly attacked amidst the alluring smile.

What a strange teleportation technique, what astonishing speed!

Yang Guo was startled. Thousands of sword beams suddenly appeared in the void. Vast killing intent, unparalleled swordsmanship, and incomparably powerful sword internal force were condensed by Yang Guo from the void into thousands of sword energies, sweeping in all directions. In the instant the seductive figure appeared, he forcefully shifted his body three zhang to the side, his right hand forming a sword shape with fingers together, and a sword beam more than ten zhang long, carrying the domineering force of an all-destroying overlord, fiercely slashed towards the seductive figure.

"Void Condensation Weapon, it seems your swordsmanship inherited from Dugu Qiubai has progressed greatly, already reaching the Void Breaking Realm. Hmm, not bad, worthy of being hailed as the Martial Arts Supreme with limitless sword potential in the Chaotic Time and Space," the alluring woman chuckled.

A purple light blotted out the sky, and a vast force suddenly appeared from the outside, engulfing the thousands of sword energies shooting towards Yang Guo. The powerful impact didn't produce the expected roar, but a terrifying destructive aura spread outwards. Plants and rocks within a hundred feet radius were instantly pulverized by the shockwave. A dozen or so girls continued their graceful dance, but abruptly appeared above Yang Guo's head at the moment the two forces collided.

Realizing he had encountered a powerful opponent, Yang Guo felt not fear but joy, and a boundless fighting spirit suddenly surged within him.

Sword energy swept across the sky, sword light cleaving the heavens, the intense light growing ever more blazing. Layers of sword force soared into the sky, shooting in all directions, the endless destructive sword light threatening to shatter the void, creating wave after wave

of air tremors. A towering figure moved through the chaos, his mountain-like battle intent overwhelming, like an ancient war god reborn. At this moment, Yang Guo revealed his full power, his alluring figure floating amidst the sword waves, yet growing increasingly terrified with each battle. Yang Guo's battle intent grew stronger with each challenge, his sword energy containing boundless sword might, seemingly unstoppable by human power.

The bewitching array formed by a dozen or so Lianhua Palace maids, shining brightly in the chaotic space-time, capable of shaking the world, failed to bewitch his mind, instead fueling Yang Guo's killing intent.

His strength was beyond description.

The Demonic Dance of Bewitching Souls, also known as the Yin-Yang Heavenly Demon Dance, was created by Lin Yuan to complement the playing of the Heavenly Demon Ecstasy Melody. It was a bizarre dance used to bewitch the minds of the opposite sex. Upon its initial appearance, it caused quite a stir within the Lin family, a powerful clan during the Great Universe Federation era. It was a top-tier divine power manipulated with soul force, its power immeasurable. At the Heavenly Emperor level, even Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Kings could not avoid suffering some damage to their souls when used as an attack.

After arriving in the Chaotic Spacetime, he lacked the sufficient soul force to support this technique and thus had no opportunity to use it. Unexpectedly, the Sick Master, under the guise of the Lianhua Palace, preemptively wreaked havoc in the martial world before him. If Yang Guo hadn't reached the Martial Void Breaking Realm, equivalent to a high-level Earth Awakener of Life Energy, he would have been defeated long ago. Although Yao Rao possessed extraordinary strength in the chaotic spacetime, she had only reached the initial stage of the Earth Awakener, a life energy user. While their strengths were not far apart, they were unable to effectively interfere with Yang Guo. Instead, the dozen or so maids, whose strength was insufficient to reach the advanced stage of the Sky Awakener, were forced to perform this dance, putting them in grave danger.

In a joint attack, the greatest fear is the inability to coordinate perfectly and move freely. This, in turn, provides an easy opportunity for a superior to exploit.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source, Breaking Limits!"

A clear whistle shattered the sky, and the faint sound of divine thunder echoed from the horizon. A vast, boundless sword intent swept down, its invisible yet substantial sword energy filling every inch of the battle space. The inescapable sword light expanded with immense destructive power, sweeping across the land. A sword aura over ten feet long crashed down, violently shaking the air and threatening to shatter the void. This shocked Yao Rao and her dozen or so maids who were attacking together, causing their expressions to change drastically.

The power of that single sword strike was so formidable that it was beyond human resistance.

"Master Yang's martial arts are unparalleled. I am no match for you today. I can only come back to learn from you another time. I will take my leave now."

A burst of purple light suddenly intensified, and with a deafening crash, a wisp of purple blood sprayed into the air. Yao Rao let out a muffled groan, and along with a dozen maids, vanished from Yang Guo's sight in an instant.

"Blood Escape Technique!"

Yang Guo exclaimed in surprise. Back in the desolate ancient plains, he had heard the Sick Master shout this term while fleeing. When he arrived at Tianshan, he had heard Lin Yuan and Feng Lin mention it again. He vaguely knew it was a supernatural power, but also knew it was used for escape. Yao Rao's sudden retreat indicated she was no match for his strength. Seeing the purple blood spraying into the air, he smiled coldly and didn't give chase. Since she wanted to escape, even if he wanted to, he couldn't stop her. After all, the alluring power was not to be underestimated. Her injuries weren't severe, and with over a dozen maids protecting her, she still possessed considerable fighting strength. Even if he could intercept her, the outcome was still unpredictable. Moreover, she had unleashed a mysterious divine power from the True Martial Realm, a level he hadn't yet reached. How could he possibly catch up?

"Lianhua Palace, here I come!"

A figure rushed straight towards Lianhua Palace. Yang Guo, exuding an aura of unparalleled power, stood majestically and arrogantly on the unique icy snow of Tianshan.

Chapter 16 Blood Devouring the Universe

Ancient Central Plains, Zhou Dynasty Border.

Two streaks of blood-red light flashed across the sky, followed closely by a white light. A vast killing intent accompanied the blood-red light, and where the white light passed, the sky seemed to collapse. The immense pressure instilled a soul-deep fear in all beings that encountered the light. That was an unparalleled domineering aura capable of destroying everything! In this mortal world, who dared to challenge its sharpness?

"Sick Master, stop your futile escapes. Do you think you still have a chance to escape? Today, Feng Lin and I will join forces to annihilate you on the ancient Central Plains, to atone for your sin of staining the Central Plains with blood."

A cold voice rang out, followed by a cold snort.

"Don't always give me these repetitive and monotonous threats. Don't you know that mimicking others is very impolite?"

"I'm so angry! Feng Lin, unleash another laser-like world-destroying aura on him!"

"Yes, Master!"

A white light swept across the sky, filled with boundless destructive power, slashing down towards a blood-red beam in front of him, instantly destroying everything within tens of millions of feet. The earth collapsed, dust and debris flew high into the sky, and a powerful force swept across, as if the end of the world had arrived, the power of destruction was truly astonishing.

"Ah, here we go again, Lin Yuan, you bastard! I'm really angry, and the consequences will be severe!"

A furious roar came from ahead. After the ten-thousand-foot-long white light disappeared into the sky, a cloud of blood mist emerged from the void. Its thin figure gave people a sense of ethereal emptiness; it was actually an indestructible soul imprint, similar to the primordial spirit cultivated in the cultivation world, but definitely not a primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit is condensed from a cultivator's powerful cultivation, like a newborn human, slowly evolving from infancy. It is divided into twelve stages: Enlightenment, Spiritual Void, Abstinence from Grains, Heartbeat, Primordial Transformation, Nascent Soul, Separation and Union, Emptiness and Darkness, Nirvana, Great Completion, Tribulation Crossing, and Ascension. Each stage is further divided into three phases: initial, middle, and final.

There is no precise division among the twelve stages; only the differences between the four realms are very obvious. The three realms are: Initial Realm: Refining Essence into Qi, divided into Foundation Establishment, Illumination, and Core Formation; Intermediate Realm: Refining Qi into Spirit, divided into Heart Movement, Spiritual Silence, and Void Contemplation; Advanced Realm: Refining Spirit into Emptiness, divided into Nascent Soul, Divided Spirit, and Out-of-Body Stage; and Mahayana Realm: Gathering Emptiness and Merging with the Dao, divided into Gathering Emptiness, Tribulation Transcending, and Ascension.

Only when the primordial spirit reaches the Mahayana Realm can it freely enter and exit the body, unburdened by the body, and autonomously control certain natural energies. If one does not reach the Mahayana Realm, once the primordial spirit leaves the body and is invaded by an enemy, one may face the misfortune of annihilation. However, even if a cultivator reaches the Mahayana Realm, if their primordial spirit leaves the body to fight against a powerful opponent, they may still be killed.

The Undying Soul Imprint is an alternative rebirth technique for cultivators who reach the Celestial Realm or the Demon King Body. It allows them to abandon their true body and remain immortal in the heavens, freely utilizing natural energies, making them even more powerful than cultivators. Even if a celestial tribulation were to strike, an undying soul imprint could still potentially escape the destruction of the natural disaster and reincarnate into the next great universe's rebirth era. However, this alternative rebirth technique only applies to those of equal strength. If faced with truly destructive forces, they could only escape the overwhelming celestial tribulation by regressing into life seeds devoid of any life energy fluctuations or thought processes.

Lin Yuan, from the family of the Sick Master, belonged to the Lin Clan of the Great Federation. They disregarded cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, instead forging their own path by harnessing different energies from the universe to refine a super-evolved body, integrate the essence of True Martial Arts, and combine various cultivation methods from the universe to create a life energy technique and transmit an alternative rebirth method, thus becoming a royal family of the Federation. Before entering the chaotic spacetime, both of them had already cultivated undying soul imprints in the Great Federation universe. Therefore, after the upheaval in the City of Heaven, although their true bodies were destroyed one after another, they both abandoned their original powerful bodies and, relying on their undying soul imprints, transformed into the bodies of undying demon kings. The battle remained fierce. Without the burden of physical limitations, they could control natural energy at will.

One was bound by the Heavenly Origin Restriction, losing his Heavenly King realm cultivation; the other was destroyed by the Star-Destroying Sword, losing his Heavenly Energy Body. Their strengths were evenly matched, a stalemate of life and death. If it weren't for Feng Lin's powerful intervention, the Sick Master wouldn't have been forced to flee.

"Heh heh, a clown on the verge of extinction dares to spout such nonsense. I'll see just how severe the consequences you speak of are,"

Lin Yuan sneered calmly.

"Feng Lin, unleash another laser-based World-Destroying Aura on him."

"Yes, Master."

Another blinding white light swept across the sky, the vast, destructive aura causing the heavens to tremble violently.

"Blood Escape Thousand Miles!"

"Using Blood Escape again to escape? This life-energy-consuming technique is extremely taxing on your essence. Hmph, even if you can hide for a while, do you think you can hide from me until you recover? Sick Master, I won't give you that chance," Lin Yuan coldly laughed.

"Feng Lin, where has the Sick Master disappeared to again?"

"Nine hundred li away is Caiqiu, the land of the Zhou royal family. Duke Huan of Qi, the ruler of Qi, united nine states and gathered at Caiqiu to hold a ceremony to establish his dominance over the world. At this moment, Caiqiu is filled with nearly four million troops from ten ancient Warring States: Zhao, Yan, Qi, Han, Wei, Zheng, Lu, Song, Zhang, and Huang. Young Master Sick Master has already appeared in that area, using the forbidden technique 'Blood Devouring Universe' to cruelly annihilate the armies of these states." Feng Lin paused, her expression grave.

"What? He dares to use Blood Devouring Universe?" Lin Yuan was shocked upon hearing this.

According to family records, Blood Devouring Universe was a strange technique that his patriarch, Lin Qiyu, obtained by chance on a Yin Sha Ming Star in an extragalactic star system when he met a cosmic wanderer during his travels across the various boundaries of the universe. It allows him to devour the energies of the universe for his own use, especially the blood-fusion and soul-devouring techniques on life, which are extremely vicious. It not only possesses heaven-defying power, world-destroying might, and the ability to manipulate space, but also allows one to instantly leapfrog several levels to reach the Heavenly King or Heavenly Emperor realms through the forbidden technique of Blood Fusion and Soul Devouring, even without any energy. If a cultivator's current power already reaches the Heavenly King realm, it's even possible to instantly jump to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Relatively speaking, for every realm of powerhouses, there's the potential to leapfrog several levels to enter a distant and unattainable cultivation domain. Its power is terrifying, but its danger is also the greatest. If one's spiritual cultivation hasn't reached the corresponding levels, rashly using this forbidden technique could easily lead to a backlash, resulting in the complete annihilation of consciousness and annihilation.

Cosmic Wanderers, also known as Cosmic Kings, are a group of supreme beings who transcend the mortal world and pursue the infinite evolution of power. They wander across the vast boundaries of the universe, drifting through various extragalactic galaxies. They have always preferred to work alone, and their individual power is not only extraordinary and unparalleled, but also supreme in the universe. Their infinite life also grants them access to the most advanced science and technology in the universe.

After the Blood Devouring Universe technique spread throughout the Human Reverse Universe, it was not only rejected by humans but also disliked by cosmic wanderers. The fact that even they avoided it speaks volumes about its immense destructive power.

Once, an ambitious evolver at the Heavenly Emperor level cultivated the Blood Devouring Universe technique, experiencing a meteoric rise in strength. He broke through the void and advanced to the peak of the Heavenly Venerable Sky Awakener realm, almost reaching the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm. However, because he had not reached the corresponding Heavenly Venerable Divine Consciousness realm, he was subsequently backfired by the Blood Devouring Universe technique, losing his mind. He then single-handedly traversed the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, spanning tens of thousands of light-years, annihilating hundreds of Earth-like planets with populations of five billion, unleashing boundless carnage and utterly shocking the entire Great Universe Federation. Even Lin Qiyu, the patriarch of the Lin family, residing in the parallel universe of the Human Reverse Universe, was alarmed and returned to the Federation. At the Federation's request, he fought a three-Earth-day battle on Falling Star, billions of light-years from Earth, at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, before finally annihilating it.

After this battle, the Human Reverse Universe Federation referred to this day as the 'Blood Devouring Universe Shocking Change'. The Federation government immediately and completely banned human evolvers and cultivators from practicing this technique. Although the central quantum computer of the Lin family's Lingdi City, a powerful royal family in the Great Universe, stored this information, it was considered taboo by the patriarch. Even Lin Yuan, a candidate for the family's successor, was unable to glimpse it, unaware of where the Sick Master had stolen it from.

Upon learning of the Sick Master's situation, Lin Yuan was surprised, angry, worried, and terrified. He never imagined that this Sick Master would be willing to kill four million people to challenge him in order to regain his power.

Although the Sealing Heaven Origin is a heaven-defying divine power, unleashed by the heaven-defying Emperor Mietian, its immense power has reduced all experts below the Heavenly Emperor realm to mere top-tier mortals, stripping them of all their divine abilities and cultivation. However, the Blood Devouring Universe technique is a forbidden, heaven-defying art even more powerful than the Sealing Heaven Origin. Before losing his cultivation, the Sick Master was already at the Heavenly King realm, his divine sense even surpassing his physical strength. If he were to successfully cultivate the Blood Devouring Universe technique, not only would his strength recover to the Heavenly King realm, but he might even leapfrog to the Heavenly Venerable realm. At that point, the entire chaotic spacetime might be destroyed.

"Pang Huijuan, I need your help. Come down."

Lin Yuan roared to the sky, his voice reverberating for miles, piercing the heavens. In an instant, the world changed color, winds rose and clouds surged, and bursts of dazzling blood-red light emanated from the direction of Caiqiu, reddening half the sky. A series of agonizing screams, faintly carried by the howling wind, echoed from afar, accompanied by a nauseatingly faint stench of blood.

Powerful beings from the Celestial Realm, the Holy Realm, the Cultivation Realm, the True Martial Realm, and the Mortal Realm, all possessing strong divine senses, sensed this and turned their gazes in that direction.

A beam of purple light shot down from the Celestial Realm, heading towards Caiqiu. A slender and beautiful figure floated ethereal within the purple light, indescribably captivating.

"Yuan, I'm waiting for you in Caiqiu, hurry over."

The soft, melodious voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Feng Lin, hurry up and follow!"

Lin Yuan knew the situation was urgent, disregarding any awkwardness with Pang Huijuan, and rushed towards Caiqiu.

The healer is only just beginning to use this forbidden technique. If, before he successfully advances to the next level, they can unite with several powerful evolved beings at the Heavenly King level to besiege and kill him, they have a chance to completely defeat him, perhaps even plunging him into an abyss from which he can never recover.

Chapter 17 The Cultivation World Appears

"A million years! The five realms of Heaven, Saint, Cultivator, Human, and Yin haven't experienced such violent turmoil in a long time. The newly risen True Martial World, will you ultimately replace the Heavenly Realm as the sole ruler of the Six Paths? It seems I should also represent the Cultivation World and make a trip to the mortal realm to participate in this game."

A clear, gentle voice rang out in the Cultivation World's palace. The next moment, a beam of light broke through the boundary and descended, heading straight for Caiqiu.

The Cultivation World is a mysterious world, a dimensional space created by generations of powerful cultivators from the mortal realm who, after breaking through the void, did not enter the Heavenly Realm or the Saint Realm. This is a tranquil, secluded paradise where the rulers of the cultivation world throughout history have never harbored great ambitions for domination. They have coexisted peacefully with other realms.

However, in every great upheaval of the world, in every cataclysmic war between the various realms, the cultivation world can never remain completely uninvolved. Their inaction doesn't mean others won't come looking for them; in every major power reshuffle, the cultivation world is passively drawn in, seeing no hope of victory, becoming a stepping stone for others' advances.

The ruler of this distorted cultivation world is the Xuan Kong Emperor, who has been in power for nearly ten thousand years. His late-life daughter, Princess Xuan Shuang, is an unparalleled cultivation genius, the first in nearly five hundred thousand years of cultivation history, besides the previous two emperors, the Ming Kong Emperor, to reach the Great Ascension stage of cultivation, the Gathering Void realm, at the age of sixteen. The Xuan Kong Emperor was hailed as an unparalleled genius in the cultivation world 15,000 years ago. From the day he began cultivating until he ruled the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, he only barely reached the advanced Nascent Soul stage. Even the Ming Kong Emperor, hailed as an unparalleled genius in the cultivation world 500,000 years ago, who ruled the cultivation world and traversed the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man for tens of thousands of years, only entered the Void Gathering stage when he was over ten thousand years old. Princess Xuan Shuang, however, shattered the Ming Kong Emperor's genius myth at the age of sixteen. Judging from her cultivation progress, she will definitely enter the final stage of cultivation and ascend to the unknown cultivation realm within a hundred years.

Princess Xuan Shuang, with her unparalleled talent, is hailed as the most intelligent person since the birth of the cultivation world. She was chosen by all the elders of the cultivation world and the Xuan Kong Emperor as the next ruler of the cultivation world. In their imagination, Princess Xuan Shuang might even lead the cultivation world to replace the current Heavenly Emperor and become the new supreme monarch of the Six Paths. Although the current ruler of the Heavenly Realm is no longer the Jade Emperor, but the behind-the-scenes power behind the scenes, Empress Pang Huijuan, the Xuan Kong Emperor and the elders firmly believe that given Princess Xuan Shuang a thousand years, with her unparalleled genius, she will definitely surpass Empress Pang Huijuan and become the new ruler of the Six Paths. Duke Huan of

Qi had never felt such despair. Uniting the nine feudal lords and bringing order to the world—what overwhelming power he possessed! Since he united the other feudal lords under the banner of 'honoring the king and repelling the barbarians,' resisting the surrounding ethnic minorities threatening the Central Plains, and even sending troops to block the northward advance of the powerful southern state of Chu, establishing his prestige among the feudal states and becoming the first of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, he had been so arrogant, feeling as if the world was in his hands. However, under the forbidden power that transcended the rules of heaven and earth, the so-called power of a hegemon was so fragile. The alliance of ten kingdoms, with four million troops, was on the verge of annihilation in an instant. A pair of colossal hands, hundreds of feet wide, swept across the sky above Caiqiu. With each resounding slam, thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers were crushed into a bloody pulp. The ground collapsed, rubble and dust flew everywhere, and the air was whipped up by the immense force, creating powerful shockwaves. Gale-force winds swept through, stones flew, and blood shot upwards, staining half the sky crimson. Glowing objects, like ghosts from later legends, were enveloped in blood-red light and shot towards a pair of cold, murderous eyes blinking in the sky. What kind of eyes were those? Amidst the vast aura of death, a cold, emotionless, blood-red gaze descended, interspersed with a hint of bloodthirsty excitement, like the eyes of death itself, mercilessly devouring the glowing objects. Duke Huan of Qi and the rulers of the nine states did consider resistance or escape, but they simply couldn't organize an effective plan. Before a forbidden power that transcended everything in the mortal world, all resistance or escape was laughable and impractical.

Was the once mighty Hegemon Alliance truly finished? The ten monarchs stared blankly as their armies wailed and perished, utterly helpless. For the first time, they felt the terrifying power of the world's destruction. Above the mortal realm, such a terrifying force existed—what kind of being was it? "Great monarch in heaven, we are all your loyal followers! Why do you allow the Blood Demon to run rampant, yet offer us no aid?"

"Master of Sickness, stop! Do you intend to destroy the world?"

Just as Duke Huan of Qi and the monarchs of the nine kingdoms desperately pleaded with heaven, a clear shout pierced the sky. A purple light descended, instantly enveloping the entire sky above Caiqiu. A vast, sacred aura collided with the blood-red light, reflecting waves of destructive force that swept in all directions. The immense power collided, unleashing a world-destroying force that shattered the earth, creating massive cracks. The survivors, still reeling from the demonic onslaught of the thousand-foot-tall hand, were now passively facing another kind of catastrophe.

Were these celestial beings truly so heartless? When Duke Huan of Qi saw the purple light appear, the stunning figure standing behind it, suspended in the sky, seemed utterly disregarding the casualties of the lower realm's army. Instead, she engaged in a fierce battle with the crimson giant lying across the sky. The overwhelming force of destruction ravaged the earth beyond recognition, deepening Duke Huan's despair.

"Laser Annihilation! First Published by the First Literature Author!"

Another cold shout rang out, and a white light came from the north. The dazzling light could not conceal the burst of powerful, world-destroying aura. Like ripples on water, it silently collided with the purple and blood-red light enveloping Cai Qiu, and then rapidly devoured the two opposing lights. The vast source of destruction even melted away the thousand-foot-long giant hand that stretched across the sky, and the white light went straight for the blood-red giant eye in the sky.

"Hehe, you little worms think you can kill me? You're too late. Although I haven't started to truly refine the soul in my body yet, the power within me is awakening, and it may even advance by leaps and bounds, directly leaping into the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Hehe, at that time, I will be the only one in heaven and earth, and who will dare to defy my will?"

Chapter 18 Princess Xuan Shuang's

cold laughter was full of ear-piercing smugness, echoing through the sky. Clusters of dark clouds drifted in from all directions, seemingly unintentionally drawn by the overwhelming aura of the overflowing blood-red light.

"Demon Unleashed Across the World!"

Lin Yuan coldly shouted, raising his hand to unleash a thousand-foot-long sword aura condensed from the remnants of the Myriad Demons Array's soul power. A vast destructive force cleaved down from the sky.

"Heh heh, mere child's play," the Sick Master sneered, two beams of blood-red light shooting from his eyes, easily destroying Lin Yuan's destructive sword aura. Its power was even more terrifying than Lin Yuan's previous use of the Myriad Demons Array.

"Those who wish to destroy the world must first be destroyed themselves! Star Moon Demon-Slaying Aura!"

Lin Yuan was about to unleash another powerful attack, unleashing several earth-based world-destroying sword auras. Suddenly, the sky shattered, and a clear, cold voice accompanied by a dazzling white light, over ten feet in diameter, pierced straight down from the collapsing void. The speed of light is considered the fastest speed by all, even surpassing the speed of powerful beings at the Heavenly King and Heavenly Emperor levels. In the instant the Sick Master was astonished, the pillar of light easily pierced his body, pinning him heavily to the earth. With a deafening explosion, the Sick Master's ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body was blasted into fragments. Intense light spread outwards, and a massive shockwave shattered the already broken ground, causing it to collapse by over ten feet. Distant mountains echoed, the heavens and earth resounding, seemingly unable to withstand the power of this attack. The blazing white light was even stronger than Feng Lin's Laser Annihilation Strike, seemingly even surpassing it, though lacking the wide-ranging destructive power of the Laser Annihilation Strike.

Who is this girl? She possesses such a powerful attack.

Lin Yuan, Feng Lin, and Pang Huijuan witnessed the sudden attack on the healer and were simultaneously astonished by the sound.

The towering pillar of light remained stagnant, resembling an ancient, colossal pillar, its magnificent colors pleasing to the eye. However, the three knew that beneath that ornate pillar lay a destructive energy, definitely worthy of a beginner-level Awakened Great Ocean Realm cultivator.

In the shattered sky, layers of white light flowed out like water, and a delicate and stunning figure slowly traversed the void. Despite the forbidden power of the Sealed Heaven Realm, she seemed completely unaffected. Her jade-like face was calm and composed, her clear, bright eyes shimmering like mist, radiating a captivating yet righteous and holy gaze. Her long, jet-black hair shone brightly, flowing from her shoulders to her waist, with a few strands fluttering in the wind before her forehead, adding to her ethereal beauty. A flowing palace dress accentuated her delicate features, making her appear even more otherworldly.

"Little girl, who are you to dare meddle in other people's business? Are you tired of living?"

The Sick Master's cold voice came from the ground beneath the pillar of light. The next moment, a blood-red figure appeared ethereally before her.

It seemed he hadn't truly entered the Blood Devouring Universe Destruction Realm yet. Lin Yuan, Feng Lin, and Pang Huijuan were standing right behind the Sick Master, silently watching. Upon seeing this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Sick Master hadn't entered the Blood Devouring Universe Destruction Realm through their combined attack, he had regained the power of the Heavenly King Realm under the forbidden technique of Blood Devouring Universe. This made the three of them dare not be careless in the slightest. If he were to escape again with his Blood Escape technique and unleash Blood Devouring Universe again, perhaps no one in the Chaotic Spacetime would be his match. And when he used the forbidden technique of Blood Devouring Universe, its strange power to distort spacetime caused the small space around Cai Qiu to completely lose the forbidden power of the Sealed Heaven Origin. All the power of the Sealed Heaven Realm was transmitted to an unknown space, and Pang Huijuan's lost cultivation was restored to its peak. Lin Yuan's indestructible demonic body, transformed through the Myriad Demon Array, also greatly enhanced its power to destroy the heavens. This explained why the three of them were so calm when they saw the mysterious girl crossing the sky.

Pang Huijuan and Lin Yuan were determined not to let the Sick Master escape again. Little did they know that the Sick Master was also suffering in silence. He had just manipulated the Blood Devouring Universe and was almost about to leapfrog into the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but in that instant, he felt a sense of fear deep within his heart, a subconscious awareness of destruction. If it weren't for Lin Yuan and the others' attack, he would have become the next creator of the 'Blood Devouring Universe Earth-Shattering Change,' completely losing his soul and consciousness, and forever waiting for the appearance of a supreme being who could kill him before he could possibly be freed. The Blood Devouring Universe technique was indeed terrifyingly forbidden. Upon regaining consciousness, the ailing master broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was a Heavenly King, he was only at the Ocean Awakener stage, and his divine sense was merely at the initial Heavenly King level. He was at least three realms and ten ranks away from the Heavenly Venerable realm. His momentary madness had nearly led to his destruction; it was truly terrifying. While Pang Huijuan and Lin Yuan watched him coldly, he made up his mind that next time, even if he lost all his power, he would resolutely never use the terrifying forbidden technique, Blood Devouring Universe. Becoming a walking corpse would be far too horrifying. Although it was a false alarm, it wasn't entirely without gain. At least, in that adventure, he had broken through to the Heavenly King realm's Sky Awakener stage, not far from the peak, and only one step away from entering the Heavenly Emperor realm. Gambling with his life was ultimately worthwhile, offering him some consolation.

He coldly stared at the mysterious girl who had launched the devastating attack from behind.

"My name is Xuan Shuang, and I have come to annihilate you in order to restore order to the world," the mysterious girl said calmly, her voice light and melodious.

"Xuan Shuang, heh, so you're the renowned genius princess of the cultivation world. I didn't expect your cultivation world to be so eager to interfere in the game of the Six Paths Ruler's War. Interesting, interesting. Very well, since you all want to join the fun, then come at me all at once," the Sick Master sneered. Pang Huijuan and Lin Yuan also looked surprised. The cultivation world had gotten involved too? Was the world truly about to descend into chaos?

"Xuan Shuang, hailed as the first genius sage since the birth of the cultivation world, broke through to the Void Gathering stage of the Great Ascension realm at the age of sixteen, equivalent to the initial stage of the Heavenly King realm, the Ocean Awakener, in my cultivation; Pang Huijuan, the intermediate stage of the Heavenly King realm, the Earth Awakener, once the leader among the younger generation of women in the family, is now the Heavenly Empress, the behind-the-scenes ruler of the Chaotic Spacetime Heavenly Realm; Lin Yuan, before entering the Chaotic Spacetime, was at the peak stage of the Life Energy Emperor in the family, capable of entering the Heavenly Human realm at any time, but was later reduced to the starting level of the Super Evolver. As a Heavenly Inheritor, he broke through to the Heavenly Human realm, and the power of the Heavenly Inheritor he possessed allowed him to engage in cross-level battles. After being killed by the Star Destroyer Sword and self-destructing his body, he created the Myriad Demons Array with the power of the Heavenly Inheritor, transforming into the body of an indestructible demon king, and could also... without the power of heaven and earth divine abilities." With his Heavenly Inheritor Eyes of Annihilation, he swept across the eight wastelands, his power unparalleled. Feng Lin, before entering the chaotic spacetime, was a high-purity intelligent humanoid robot. Later, she completed her final transformation in the Heavenly Realm, evolving into a true human. Her original power was enough to resist the Heavenly Realm, and after the transformation, she directly jumped to the middle level of the Heavenly King Realm, the Earth Awakener. "Hmm, you four can team up against me, hahaha... Today, I have already used the immense power of Blood Devouring the Universe to break through from the Heavenly King Realm Ocean Awakener to the Heavenly King Realm Sky Awakener in one fell swoop. Even if the four of you join forces, what do I have to fear? The difference between the Supreme Beings above the Heavenly King Realm is slight, but the difference in strength is vast, hahaha... what do I have to fear?"

The Sick Master looked at the four of them slowly and coldly, occasionally letting out a few triumphant sneers, his blood-red eyes radiating a cruel, bloodthirsty light.

Chapter 19 The Might of the Star-Destroying Sword

Things had been forced to this point; there was nothing more to say, so let's go. Lin Yuan, Pang Huijuan, Xuan Shuang, and Feng Lin exchanged glances, and simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks.

"World Destruction, Seal!"

Lin Yuan shouted coldly, his blood-red eyes shooting two beams of crimson light towards the Sick Master. Vast killing intent and boundless destructive power surged in all directions in an instant. Dark clouds surged across the sky, and a rumbling sound rang out. Several bolts of divine lightning suddenly struck down, as if even the heavens were shocked and enraged by the blood-red light containing the power to destroy everything.

"Star-Destroying Laser!"

The world instantly turned white. Feng Lin stood proudly on a cloud, raising her hand to unleash a laser beam over ten feet in diameter, capable of destroying all matter.

The Star-Destroying Laser, unlike the World-Destroying Laser, uses a beam of concentrated energy to form a pillar of light. It's an energy weapon specifically designed for attacking a particular target during interstellar warfare in the Great Cosmic Federation era. Its accuracy against targets within 100,000 light-years is an astonishing 0.00%. Compared to the widespread destructive power of the World-Destroying Laser, its power is far less. However, its power against a specific target is immense. Even microscopic matter as small as molecules, neutrons, and atoms can be permanently annihilated by the Star-Destroying Laser. Although Lin Yuan possesses an immortal demonic body and an immortal soul imprint, if struck by it, there is no chance of survival.

"Sole Supremacy, Imperial Might, Annihilation!"

A purple light flashed in the sky, and the dark clouds in the heavens rolled and parted in all directions, with thousands of golden rays shining through the gaps in the clouds.

Boom, boom, boom…

Thunderclaps echoed continuously, and streaks of golden lightning, dazzlingly bright, crashed down, yet strangely, enveloped in a purple glow, they converged towards Pang Huijuan's delicate body. She smiled strangely, her slender hand slowly pointing towards the ailing master. Like flowing water, a golden light burst forth from her body, and an immense, boundless force instantly filled the entire space, permeating everything with a suffocating pressure. It was as if a powerful life was slowly awakening from its slumber; a heavy yet absolutely destructive force raged in the sky. Lin Yuan and Xuan Shuang, standing beside her, also faintly felt that world-destroying, oppressive weight, making them indescribably uncomfortable.

"Star Moon Annihilating Demonic Force!"

Xuan Shuang waved her jade hand, and a towering pillar of light, condensed yet unyielding

, roared forth. A vast destructive force swept across the land once more, accompanied by howling winds, billowing dark clouds, and countless bolts of divine lightning converging into a sky-covering electric net that instantly enveloped the earth. The immense power pressed towards the Sick Master. "Sinking Star Devouring Universe, Annihilating the Void! With the Star-Destroying Sword in hand, who can stop my might?"

A cold laugh rang out, and suddenly darkness descended upon the world.

An endless black curtain, an endless oppressive atmosphere, suffocated everyone.

Just as Lin Yuan, Feng Lin, Pang Huijuan, and Xuan Shuang joined forces to unleash their strongest techniques against the Sick Master, a sudden change occurred. The world-destroying power, as vast as the ocean, the overwhelming and suffocating might, and the heavy aura of death inexplicably made their hearts pound with fear.

The world was shrouded in darkness, so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. The blood-red, white, and purple light they unleashed together vanished abruptly. The thunderbolts crashing down from the heavens were barely audible, as if suppressed by some unknown force or transported to another dimension.

The Sick Master's cold voice became the only sound in this world.

It seemed like an instant, yet also like an endless wait.

Suddenly, a white light pierced the darkness, unleashing a suffocating aura of destruction. Even someone as powerful as Pang Huijuan felt a strange oppression and oppression.

That white light seemed to be the only thing in the world, so abrupt and conspicuous in the endless darkness. Its destructive power, as vast as the ocean, swept across the heavens and earth. At the same time, everyone in the Heavenly Realm, the Holy Realm, the True Martial Realm, and the Cultivation Realm truly felt this terrifying atmosphere.

"This... isn't this the Star-Destroying Sword? Weren't all of Master Bing's Star-Destroying Swords transferred to the Illusionary Demon Heaven by Annihilation Heaven? How can it still exist?" Lin Yuan stared blankly for a long time before finally finding his voice.

Pang Huijuan also felt a sense of oppression. The power of the Star-Destroying Sword was immense and unparalleled. The power of a single sword strike from a master of the Heavenly King Realm was enough to destroy a planet. Even as a Heavenly King Realm Awakener, she couldn't withstand the power of this sword.

Xuan Shuang merely glanced at the white light in front of her, her beautiful eyes sparkling, but no one knew what she was thinking.

"Master Bing, haven't you already reached the Heavenly King Realm Sky Awakener? Why do you still rely on weapons to fight? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing your supreme dignity?" Pang Huijuan remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Hahaha... Scared now? Fighting with strength? Hmph, only a fool would do that. Although I'm far stronger than you, it would still take me a lot of time and effort to deal with four Heavenly King level cultivators like you. Since I have the Star-Destroying Sword, why should I foolishly waste my time fighting you?" The Sick Master laughed arrogantly.

"Yuan, try the true power of the Star-Destroying Sword again."

A beam of light slashed down from the void, its speed so fast that Lin Yuan had no chance to dodge, and his body shattered instantly. The Star-Destroying Sword's afterglow lingered, silently cleaving a vast valley thousands of miles long through the distant, undulating mountains. A

deafening roar shook the heavens, and divine lightning from the Nine Heavens reappeared, the dark clouds gathering and being edged with a dazzling gold by the lightning.

The boundless, world-destroying power of the Star-Destroying Sword, appearing in the instant, terrified the entire world. All people and animals simultaneously felt a terrifying sense of dread.

"How is this possible? A casual slash can cause mountains to collapse and rivers to change course. What kind of power is this?" Xuan Shuang stared in disbelief. Although she had reached the Void Gathering stage, possessing immortality and a primordial spirit, that was only relative to cultivators of the same level. In a battle of strength, if a more powerful expert appeared, she would only have the option of running away.

"Why is it impossible? The Star-Destroying Sword in his hand is incredibly powerful. If he strikes with all his might, he can destroy the entire world, and the Six Paths Realm will be reduced to ashes," Pang Huijuan said calmly.

"What's going on? Why is the Star-Destroying Sword so powerful this time? It's even more terrifying than the Star-Destroying Sword that attacked me last time."

Not far away in the sky, a cloud of blood mist slowly condensed. Lin Yuan's face was unusually pale, and the murderous aura in his blood-red eyes had dissipated considerably, leaving his gaze dim and unfocused. Clearly, in this attack, Lin Yuan's soul imprint had suffered considerable damage.

"Heh heh, how could it be impossible? You're such an idiot. The Star-Destroying Swords I used to attack you last time were just replicas. The combined power of all of them couldn't match the power of this one sword. Did you really believe me when I told you I used a mental seal to seal their power? I was lying to you. Don't you think a real Star-Destroying Sword is powerful enough to destroy a planet? To deal with a piece of trash like you who hasn't even reached the Heavenly King realm, would I need dozens or even hundreds of them? Heh heh, even if I wanted to, would my patriarch let me go? Did you think these Star-Destroying Swords were created for you to play with?" "Ah, each one possesses the power to destroy stars. I only managed to steal a real Star-Destroying Sword when my patriarch wasn't home. Before coming to the Chaotic Space-Time, I also copied some and stored them in my Soul Space. I originally thought that the copied Star-Destroying Sword would be enough to kill you, but who knew your vitality was so strong, and there's that Tian hiding behind you. If he hadn't destroyed my copy of the Star-Destroying Sword, I wouldn't have wanted to use the real one so quickly. Alas, using a peerless sword to kill you is an insult to a precious artifact."

The Sick Master coldly laughed and slashed at Lin Yuan again.

No matter how Lin Yuan dodged, he couldn't avoid the Star-Destroying Sword's strike. The vast destructive power surged forth, his body shattering in the sky, purple blood scattering down. Even with an immortal soul, he couldn't avoid being severely injured.

The white light was silent, yet its world-destroying power could shake the heavens and the earth. The sword cleaved through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, its power shaking the world. The great river changed course, and the mountains collapsed, causing the Three Realms, the Six Paths, and the Nine Heavens to lose their color.
