Above the altar of the Abyssal Wasteland, the shadow star core floated in a dark golden halo, and as the star orbit patterns flowed, the blueprint of the Three Thousand Worlds clearly unfolded in Li Mu's Sea of Consciousness.
Not only the blueprint of the Three Thousand Worlds, but also dense spatial jump anchor points were distributed among the nine great Star Domains, with the Dark Realm Star Domain and Void Realm Star Domain having the most; almost every Realm next to these two Star Domains had such spatial jump anchor points.
These spatial jump anchor points, to put it plainly, were a type of spatial teleportation Formation, but they were deployed by a Great Master of Formation who had mastered the Dao of space, so the effect was better.
Today, Li Mu couldn't help but wonder why the Dark Realm Star Domain was full of spatial jump anchor points, which he could understand, as it was convenient for the Dark Realm to better control the entire Star Domain, but why were there so many in the Void Realm Star Domain as well?
Moreover, why did the Dark Realm Star Domain have someone proficient in the Dao of space? To be able to set up so many spatial teleportation Formations, the requirements for the number and quality of people were definitely not low.
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Mu's eyes; perhaps the Dark Realm and Void Realm had already formed an alliance?
Without further thought, Li Mu began to control the shadow star core. At the core of the shadow star core, the Origin power of the Dark Realm was faintly visible, resonating strongly with Li Mu's Chaotic Great Dao. That extremely pure Dao power was the best supplement for the Chaotic Great Dao, and this power also had an intention to return when facing the Chaotic Great Dao.
Li Mu condensed a wisp of Chaos Qi on his fingertip, which entanglement around the star core like a wisp of silk.
The silver lines on the surface of the star core suddenly tightened, releasing shadow power, attempting to crush this foreign Qi. However, the Chaos Qi, like a persistent growth, infiltrated along the star orbit patterns. Wherever it passed, the silver lines dimmed inch by inch, and were finally forcibly assimilated by the Chaos Dao power.
"Consume!"
Li Mu let out a low cry, and the phantom of the Chaotic Dao Tree emerged from his Sea of Consciousness. Three thousand roots extended into the dark abyss, wrapping around the star core like countless chains.
The star core trembled violently, and the dark golden light flickered madly, but it slowly rose into the air under the pulling of the roots.
The moment the star core detached from the dark abyss, the entire Abyssal Wasteland rumbled violently, and the light-devouring mist, which devoured light, receded like a tide, revealing the altar carved with ancient runes below.
The ancient altar was covered with dense runes. With just one glance, Li Mu saw the foundation of the altar. The shadow star core was a coordinate and could also be used for teleportation, while this altar was a more ancient type of teleportation Formation. It should have been a backup plan the Dark Realm wanted to keep, to prevent the loss of direct teleportation if the shadow star core had problems.
However, they didn't expect that while pulling the shadow star core out of the dark abyss, the Chaos Qi would sweep through the entire dark abyss, directly breaking the disguise Formation outside the altar.
Just as the star core was about to be swallowed by the Chaotic Dao Tree, a hurried sound of breaking air came from the edge of the Abyssal Wasteland. The Night Shadow World Realm Master led a hundred strong Cultivators from his clan to arrive. Seeing the star core suspended in Li Mu's palm, his face changed drastically: "Foreign Cultivator! How dare you covet my clan's sacred object!"
The Night Shadow World Realm Master's body surged with black mist, and ten shadow Clones appeared simultaneously. The black spears in their hands condensed the potent poison of the night-blooming cereus, all striking towards Li Mu's back. The Shadow Clan strong Cultivators behind him peeled off their shadows, and Clones surged like a tide, all rushing to attack Li Mu.
In fact, the Night Shadow World Realm Master and the Cultivators of the Night Shadow World Clan had already arrived outside the Abyssal Wasteland, but they dared not enter.
It wasn't until the light-devouring mist completely receded that the Night Shadow World Realm Master and the others dared to enter this Forbidden Land they had never stepped into.
Li Mu didn't even turn his head, merely pressed his hand back.
A dense Chaos Qi spread out, and gray currents swept like raging waves. The shadow Clones that were touched instantly disintegrated, not even leaving a trace of black mist.
The Night Shadow World Realm Master's main body was swept by the edge of the Dao Domain, and the black mist around his body melted like ice and snow. He spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood and staggered backward.
The rest of the attackers were directly annihilated, not even leaving ashes.
Li Mu slowly turned around, the star core in his palm already completely enveloped by Chaos Qi, leaving only a faint golden glow. He looked at the disheveled Night Shadow World Realm Master, his eyes as cold as frost: "This star core has nothing to do with your Night Shadow World Realm. Forcibly coveting it will only lead to death."
The Night Shadow World Realm Master was both shocked and enraged. Seeing his clansmen disappearing in swathes, his gaze finally fell on the star core in Li Mu's palm, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes: "This is the sacred object of my Night Shadow World Clan's Legacy! You thief, quickly put it down!"
Although the Night Shadow World Realm Master didn't know what it was, he could be sure that it was definitely not an ordinary treasure. According to the Night Shadow World Clan's records, their Night Shadow World Realm did not have light-devouring mist before. It was after a powerful existence came that the light-devouring mist appeared, and the Abyssal Wasteland also appeared at that time.
As soon as it appeared, it became a death Forbidden Land for their Night Shadow World Realm; even approaching it carried the risk of sudden death. But now, the light-devouring mist had receded, and another person was holding a treasure taken from the Abyssal Wasteland. How could the Night Shadow World Realm Master not be tempted?
"Your clan's Legacy? Heh, do you know what this is?"
Li Mu said disdainfully. The other party was merely acting out of greed for wealth, even fabricating the so-called sacred Legacy object, wanting to suppress him with reason. However, Li Mu would not fall for that.
"You little thief! How dare you speak nonsense, go to your death!"
The Night Shadow World Realm Master was completely insane at this moment, his mind muddled by the shadow star core in Li Mu's hand, completely disregarding the disparity in strength. In his eyes, there was only the treasure of the shadow star core.
"Everyone, someone is snatching our clan's treasure, please clan elders, make a move to suppress and kill him!"
The Night Shadow World Realm Master roared, taking the lead in attacking. The other hundred clan elders simultaneously roared, their bodies burning with shadow power, transforming into streaks of pitch-black light whips, weaving into a net, trapping Li Mu and the star core in the center.
The light whips flowed with the Origin power of the Night Shadow World Realm. Wherever they passed, space was torn into tiny cracks.
Li Mu's brow slightly raised, and the Chaos Giant Axe suddenly appeared in his hand, its axe blade surging with dark light. He made no extra movements, merely slashing horizontally, and a world-opening Chaos arc light tore through the dark net, crushing half of the light whips into ashes. The arc light's momentum remained undiminished, grazing the Night Shadow World Realm Master's shoulder, bringing forth a string of black blood beads.
Just a graze, and the Dark Realm Master's entire shoulder was severed. The wound caused by the Chaos Giant Axe was impossible for the Dark Realm Master to recover from. The intense pain from his shoulder finally made the Night Shadow World Realm Master regain a trace of rationality, no longer having only the treasure in his eyes.
"You..." The Night Shadow World Realm Master was horrified. He could feel that the opponent's power far exceeded his comprehension; even the Divine Ability blessed by the Realm Origin was vulnerable.
But he was unwilling to give up the treasure right before his eyes. For so many years since he became the Realm Master, he had been trying to use the Night Shadow World Realm's Realm Origin power to resist the light-devouring mist, but there had been no progress. Even the Night Shadow World Realm's Realm Origin power could not resist the light-devouring mist.
The light-devouring mist, which even the Realm Origin power could not resist, originated from the treasure in that person's hand. How could the Night Shadow World Realm Master be willing to give up such a treasure?
Li Mu was too lazy to waste words with them. The roots of the Chaotic Dao Tree suddenly surged, wrapping around the remaining light whips like countless giant pythons, forcibly pulling back the Night Shadow World Realm Master's Origin power. The Night Shadow World Realm Master screamed, his body rapidly shriveling under the backlash of his Origin, his main body instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
With just a flick of his finger, a wisp of Chaos Qi shot out, directly piercing through the Night Shadow World Realm Master's glabella.
This Realm Master, who had ruled the Night Shadow World Realm for a thousand years, vanished into a wisp of black smoke without even uttering a final roar, leaving only a dim Origin crystal core suspended in the air.
Seeing this, the hundred strong Cultivators of the Shadow Clan were scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, turning to flee.
Li Mu let out a soft cry, and the Dao Tree roots instantly flew out like vines, wrapping around all the figures, making it impossible for them to break free. Then, one by one, they turned into wisps of black smoke in their struggles.
After all this was done, Li Mu finally turned his gaze to the dim Origin power left behind after the Night Shadow World Realm Master's death.
"To actually contain the entire Realm Origin power, this Night Shadow World Realm Master had grand ambitions."
Li Mu was a little surprised. According to the information from the Three Thousand Realms Map, this current Night Shadow World Realm Master had only taken over for a short period of time, yet he was able to completely contain the Realm Origin power. This speed, compared to the Shadow Ancestor next door who spent ten thousand years just to steal power, was simply a world of difference.
Moreover, the opponent's strength was not weak. To be able to withstand three moves under his Chaos Giant Axe, even among all the Peak Realm Cultivators Li Mu had seen, he was a rare existence.
"What a pity."
Without further emotion, Li Mu began to devour the Night Shadow World Realm's Realm Origin power.
...
Yin Realm Starfield, the beginning of Chaos.
While Li Mu was dealing with the Night Shadow World Realm, the Yin Realm King acted alone, descending upon the Celestial Evolution Realm, which had just been promoted to a top-tier Realm, to launch a war of annihilation.
Although the Yin Realm was the weakest of the nine great Royal Realms, it was not something a single top-tier Realm could handle. The most important reason why the Yin Realm could maintain its position as one of the Royal Realms was the existence of the Yin Realm King. The strength of this Yin Realm King surpassed the entire Yin Realm Starfield.
However, when the Yin Realm King descended upon the Celestial Evolution Realm with an invincible posture, he found that the Realm Masters of the eight top-tier Realms were already waiting for him in the Celestial Evolution Realm.
"Yin Realm Master, what brings you to my Celestial Evolution Realm?"
The Tian Yan World Lord spoke with a smile, but his eyes held an unconcealable killing intent.
The Yin Realm King gave a cold smile.
"What, not even calling me King anymore?"
"King is a title for the supreme ruler of a Star Domain. You do not qualify yet."
The Sky Yin Realm Master sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, like an old Buddha in meditation, showing no fear at the Yin Realm King's arrival.
The Mysterious Yin Realm Master also spoke from the side.
"Why is the Yin Realm Starfield the most vast, yet it has always been at the bottom among the nine great Realms? Ultimately, it's because you, the Yin Realm Master, are incompetent. Today, we shall replace you."
As for the Tian Yan World Lord, whose killing intent was the strongest, he only uttered one word.
"Kill!"
A world-shaking battle thus erupted. The Yin Realm King descended alone upon the Celestial Evolution Realm, facing the eight top-tier Realm Masters by himself.
At the beginning of the battle, even with eight people working together, they were no match for the Yin Realm King. Everyone attacked with full force, only able to fight the Yin Realm King to a stalemate.
When the Celestial Evolution Realm finally could not hold on and was shattered, a sudden change occurred. The shattered Celestial Evolution Realm actually transformed into a giant cage, and countless Realm fragments became anchor points for Formations, finally forming a huge killing Formation.
"Hahahaha, Old Ghost Yin, this is the great gift I've prepared for you over the past thousand years, how is it? Do you like it!"
The Tian Yan World Lord roared, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood. He had completely fused with the Realm Origin power. Now that the Celestial Evolution Realm was shattered, he also suffered unparalleled heavy injuries. At this moment, he could feel his power draining and his Realm declining.
However, none of this mattered anymore, because he had completed his mission, and the rest was up to the others. Before the Tian Yan World Lord died, this Formation would definitely not be broken. As long as the Formation remained intact, the Yin Realm King would have to constantly face full-power attacks equivalent to a Peak Realm Cultivator.
Even someone like the Yin Realm King would find it difficult to withstand attacks of such density and intensity.
"Is this the result of your thousand years of effort?"
The Yin Realm King mocked the Tian Yan World Lord while fending off the attacks from the others and the great Formation.
The Tian Yan World Lord's cultivation was already at its current level a thousand years ago. The reason he had not made any further progress was because he had put all his energy into creating this great Formation. Everything was for today, to avenge his Master.
"Yes, this is the gift I've prepared for you with the rest of my life and my own life, to avenge my Master!"
Upon hearing this, the Yin Realm King seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, laughing wildly.
"Hahahaha, to avenge your Master, hahahaha, how laughable! Your final outcome will be the same as your Master's, eternally falling into Reincarnation! Never to have another life!"
"Stop wasting words with him, crush him!"
The Sky Yin Realm Master roared, and a pitch-black Profound Netherworld Banner appeared. Behind the Earth Yin World Lord and the Mysterious Yin Realm Master, an identical Profound Netherworld Banner also appeared.
"Three Banners Combined!"
Under the cooperation of the three Realm Masters, the three Profound Netherworld Banners actually began to fuse, finally transforming into a Blood Soul Banner covered with blood-red skulls. On the Soul Banner, dozens to hundreds of red streams of light flowed across its surface.
Each red stream of light was once a Realm Master-level figure, now becoming a part of the Blood Soul Banner, providing a portion of power for the Blood Soul Banner.
After the Blood Soul Banner fused, the true killing game targeting the Yin Realm King had just begun. The Sky Yin Realm Master, as the strongest among the eight Realm Masters, unhesitatingly took up the Blood Soul Banner, bearing the heavy responsibility of directly fighting the Yin Realm King.
Before Fusion, each Profound Netherworld Banner was already an impressive nine-rank divine object. Now, after merging, it almost broke through the scope of a nine-rank divine object, nearly triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.
Coupled with the assistance of six other Cultivators who also stood at the Peak of the Peak Realm and had fused with high-tier Realm Origin power, the Yin Realm King could no longer be as leisurely as before, and wounds gradually began to appear on his body.
Just as everyone was engaged in a great battle, a figure quietly appeared in a Secret Realm outside the Celestial Evolution Realm. (End of Chapter)
