Chapter 384: Temporal Task

"Sovereign-level task?" 

Star Moon exclaimed, "Master, you've practiced time for a very short time, and your talent is very high... But to start with a sovereign-level task is too reckless."

"Among the masters I've served, the first attempt at a sovereign-level task had a failure rate of over ninety-nine percent," Star Moon solemnly stated.

What she said was based on her own experience.

"Oh?" 

Wu Yuan smiled, "Didn't you say before that my tasks at the same level usually have lower difficulty compared to other mark bearers?"

"Even the lowest difficulty sovereign-level tasks have their limits," Star Moon shook her head, "Moreover, Master, you have extremely high talent and strong strength... Time and space tasks are ultimately meant to temper you, Master, and it's impossible for you to pass through unscathed."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but nod.

It makes sense, if high talent and short practice time could easily pass sovereign-level tests, then there wouldn't be so few mark bearers over the long years.

"Even, I suspect that, Master, your strength is too terrifying, having already condensed the true meaning of space, your task difficulty will not decrease but will become even more absurd," Star Moon said.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Hmm, I understand."

"However, I'll still apply for the sovereign-level task."

Star Moon was stunned.

It seemed like she spoke for nothing and he didn't listen at all.

"Go ahead," Wu Yuan said.

"Yes." Seeing this, Star Moon didn't ask any more questions.

Wait until he suffers a loss, then he'll be obedient.

She closed her eyes lightly, and soon opened them again, "Master, it's been applied for, it could be as short as one day, or as long as ten years, before the task is issued."

"One day? Ten years?" Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

According to the intelligence he knew, time and space tasks are mostly not fixed, but randomly changing.

Generated by the Time and Space Island based on various conditions in the vast area of the Time and Space Realm.

So, there will be a waiting period, usually half a year to a year before tasks are issued.

"Continue practicing," Wu Yuan closed his eyes.

Since condensing the true meaning of space, he could directly perceive the origin of spatial laws.

Plus, over the years, with the further strengthening of his divine soul, even with the influence of the Tao, the speed of comprehension has not slowed down at all.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

"Hmm?" 

Wu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes because he had received a message about the time and space task being issued through the Time and Space Immortal Realm.

Whoosh! 

Star Moon flashed to his side, and with a wave of her hand, a huge light curtain appeared, displaying detailed text:

Sovereign-level task: Protection, Confrontation, Assassination.

"Protection: Protect the 'Yin Yan Earth Immortal' in the Chonggu Star System for one day. During this time, two mark bearers at the level of Divine Projection will join forces with you to form a protection team."

"Confrontation: During the protection period, other mark bearers will form teams to come and attack. The number and number of attackers are unknown. Kill all attackers."

"Assassination: After the protection task is completed, assassinate the Yin Yan Earth Immortal within one day and survive for three days."

"Task Background: The Chonggu Star System is a vast continent ruled by the Chonggu Celestial Immortal. The Yin Yan Earth Immortal is a master alchemist who has just refined the blood of over a hundred billion living beings using formations, and is currently using the blood of these living beings to refine pills..."

There is also a lot of detailed information about the Chonggu Star System.

"Chonggu Star System?" Wu Yuan pondered.

As far as he knew, the Time and Space Realm, as a realm created by the Time and Space Lord, has a different internal structure and operational rules from ordinary major realms.

The so-called galaxy, in terms of the size of the temporal and spatial domain and the immortal domain, is on the same order of magnitude, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of light-years.

And the star domain is very vast, with the maximum diameter of the coverage ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of light-years, completely comparable to a celestial kingdom!

"This is my first sovereign-level task."

"It turns out to be a series of tasks, and it seems that the core of this sovereign task is confrontation," Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

Temporal tasks can generally be divided into four categories: hunting, confrontation, treasure hunting, and relics.

The hunting category often targets the killing of one or a group of cultivators.

The confrontation category involves Time and Space Island selecting different mark bearers who apply for tasks at the same time period to engage in combat.

The treasure hunting category involves searching for a specific task item.

The relics category, the most mysterious and rare, can be highly dangerous and is the most uncontrollable type of temporal task.

Through the intelligence, Wu Yuan can easily judge that this sovereign-level task is essentially a battle against other mark bearers!

Life and death struggle.

Walking on the edge of life and death is a very good stimulation.

"They want to assassinate, I want to protect, then, one side must fail," Wu Yuan muttered to himself, "But, this Yin Yan Earth Immortal is really unlucky."

"He will be hunted down first."

"After I protect him for a day, the task is still to kill him?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.

He really didn't understand the intentions of the Time and Space Island.

If the intention is solely to kill the Yin Yan Earth Immortal, why make it so complicated?

"But, it's not my concern," Wu Yuan thought to himself, continuing to check the task details, "Within one day, freely enter any time and space transmission array?"

With a little thought.

Whoosh!

At the side of Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar, another figure in white robes appeared out of thin air, with the same appearance, attire, and life aura.

There was no discernible difference.

It was Wu Yuan's Law Avatar, the greatest feature of the Divine Projection realm, and the key to being called an 'immortal' by countless cultivators.

"Hello, fellow Daoist," both the white-robed Law Avatar and the Qi Refining Avatar suddenly spoke at the same time.

It startled Star Moon nearby.

Immediately.

Both the Law Avatar and the main avatar couldn't help but smile.

"It's really weird. At first glance, this Law Avatar looks the same as the two main avatars," Wu Yuan looked at the Law Avatar.

However, Wu Yuan knew.

There is a fundamental difference between the Law Avatar and the main avatar.

The two main avatars are truly independent individuals. If one is destroyed, the other can still exist indefinitely. And as time passes, the causal connection between the two main avatars will weaken as their strengths gradually grow stronger. When they cultivate to the level of creating universes and transcending space-time, even some powerful attacks based on fate and causality will hardly penetrate to the other main avatar, and the effect will be minimal.

If one main avatar is destroyed, the other cannot be re-cultivated.

On the other hand, the Qi Refining Law Avatar, or the Source Avatar, exists as an attachment to their respective main avatar.

If the Law Avatar Source Avatar dies, it generally doesn't have much impact on the affiliated main avatar, and they can simply re-cultivate a new Law Avatar Source Avatar.

And if the main avatar dies, the Law Avatar Source Avatar cultivated by them will also die instantly.

"Ordinary second or third-tier foundational cultivators, the basic strength of their Law Avatar Source Avatar can reach ninety percent of the main avatar," Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar sensed the mysteries of the Law Avatar, "As for a first-tier Immortal Foundation, the basic strength of the Law Avatar can rival the main avatar."

This is the advantage of a first-tier Immortal Foundation. With the flawless Purple Mansion and the powerful virtual world of Wu Yuan, coupled with the perfect "Law Avatar Cultivation Technique," naturally, he can cultivate the most perfect and powerful Law Avatar.

There are only two differences.

One is the divine soul, the divine soul power contained in the Law Avatar is far inferior to the main avatar, usually only good at defense, and much weaker in attack.

"The Law Avatar of other cultivators is very weak in terms of divine soul," Wu Yuan showed a hint of a smile, "But what about me?"

Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar has an incredibly terrifying divine soul. Even though the Law Avatar's divine soul is much weaker, it is still formidable relative to the main avatar, and should not be underestimated.

The second difference is the gap in the main magical treasure.

Usually, the Law Avatar does not carry a main magical treasure or some precious treasures, otherwise, once lost, the loss would be too great.

"This first sovereign-level task is just a test."

"No need to carry any heavy treasures, just carry spirit treasures, plus an ordinary immortal sword," Wu Yuan decided, "If I fail, the loss won't be great."

It's not that Wu Yuan doesn't want to carry more immortal swords. With his wealth of spirit crystals, it's not difficult to buy a few more low-grade immortal flying swords.

Just that the Earth Immortal's mana is limited. Unless it's a life-bound flying sword, it's very difficult to activate an additional immortal sword.

"Let's go."

Wu Yuan's white-robed Law Avatar moved, already flying out of the palace.

Quickly flying towards the floating time and space transmission arrays above the continent.

Inside the palace.

"Master, your Law Avatar gives me a terrifying feeling, I have seen some Earth Immortal nine-fold main avatars, but none are as terrifying as this," Star Moon couldn't help but say.

"Haha."

"Strength is not important," Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar laughed, "It depends on whether we can complete this temporal task."

The Law Avatar departed.

While Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar remained in the palace, quietly cultivating.

This is precisely the reason why some ancient beings, after countless years of wandering and fighting, are difficult to die. With the Law Avatar falling in battle time and time again, killing the main avatar is too difficult.

Like some cautious individuals.

Even in endless ages, the main avatar always stays far away, never appearing anywhere, only the Law Avatar ever seen.

As long as the main avatar doesn't die, it can come back time and time again.

...

Hum!

Wu Yuan's Law Avatar entered the teleportation hall, feeling a vague fluctuation enveloping him, and sounds rang in his ears: "Normal teleportation to select a destination, or temporal task teleportation?"

"Temporal task teleportation," Wu Yuan's Law Avatar shouted loudly.

Swish!

An invisible force enveloped him, instantly making Wu Yuan's Law Avatar feel that the distance between him and the main avatar was rapidly increasing. This majestic force was something he couldn't resist.

Surrounding him was silence and emptiness.

"This is not the void of space, but the 'task waiting area,'" Wu Yuan judged.

If it's a solo task, the difficulty and restrictions are usually not great.

If it's a multiplayer task, there will be more restrictions.

Time passed, and half a day had passed.

Suddenly.

In the void around Wu Yuan, two figures silently appeared, seemingly also suddenly aware of the different figures beside them.

The three sensed each other's aura.

Two Earth Immortals, one Earth God.

The Earth God, like the Earth Witches, belongs to the same lineage of body refiners, but unlike the Earth Witches, they generally do not cultivate their own life-bound familiars.

"You are... Mingjian?"

The burly young man wearing special metal armor stared at Wu Yuan, his eyes brightening: "I have seen you in the Temporal Realm, and I have also heard of your deeds, a Sovereign-level mark bearer."

"What, you're the new Sovereign-level mark bearer? Mingjian?" Another purple-clad girl flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Obviously.

She hasn't seen Wu Yuan, but she's heard of him.

Having been in the Temporal Island for a hundred years, although Wu Yuan rarely appears, basic information has spread, and any mark bearer would pay attention to intelligence.

"It seems that you both know me, so I won't introduce myself." Wu Yuan smiled slightly, "Two fellow Daoists, please introduce yourselves."

Wu Yuan could only confirm.

There is a high probability that these two are not from the Taiyuan Divine Court lineage. With over eight million mark bearers in the Temporal Island, Wu Yuan has only seen a small number.

"Hehe, since you didn't recognize us, then according to convention, you can call me Jinmo," the man in special metal armor said with a smile, "I am proficient in the Law of Gold, and have comprehended the Law of Space for splitting space, my attacks are the strongest."

Jinmo?

Wu Yuan nodded lightly. This was considered an unwritten rule. If teammates weren't recognized during the time and space mission, titles were usually used instead.

Someone like Wu Yuan was simply too famous.

"Then you can call me Zi You," the girl in purple smiled. "I excel in the Water Principle, and I have insights into the Space Principle, specializing in domains."

After they finished speaking, both of them looked at Wu Yuan.

"I specialize in the Space Principle," Wu Yuan said indifferently.

This made Jin Mo and Zi You exchange glances, both furrowing their brows slightly.

Because, under normal circumstances, the imprints on Time and Space Island wouldn't solely comprehend the Space Principle.

And, most of the time, the Space Principle was merely auxiliary.

Although they were only temporary teammates, they still shouldn't completely conceal their strength but at least provide a general idea for better coordination.

In their view, Wu Yuan's statement seemed somewhat irresponsible.

Wu Yuan naturally understood what the two were thinking but couldn't be bothered to explain further.

"Okay!"

"Sword Friend Ming," Jin Mo suddenly smiled. "Although you're an imprint master, I reckon this might be your first or second time participating in a time and space mission... I've executed over a hundred time and space missions. Let me take on the role of temporary captain this time, any objections?"

"None."

"Of course," Wu Yuan and Zi You naturally had no objections. The captaincy was just a title with no actual authority.

"Good." Jin Mo nodded. "Our tasks might have different difficulties, but the objectives are the same."

"The mission is divided into two stages."

"The first stage is to protect Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal."

"The second stage is to kill Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal."

"According to intelligence, Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, is in a crucial stage of refining elixirs. He comes from a major sect that possesses Celestials. Although these sects lack Heavenly Immortals, they still rely on other Heavenly Immortal sects."

Wu Yuan and Zi You both nodded involuntarily.

For small sects to survive, they typically depended on major sects. Complete independence? That only existed in dreams.

"Normal protection tasks are actually much easier to accomplish." Jin Mo's gaze swept over the two. "Because we don't have to rely entirely on ourselves but 'ride on the momentum.' We can inform the sect behind Yin Yan of the situation."

"This way, leveraging the power of the Ancient Star System, we can have his sect dispatch Earth Immortals or even Celestials to protect Yin Yan."

"But not this time." Wu Yuan shook his head decisively. "The more powerful protectors he has, the more trouble we'll face later."

"Correct."

Jin Mo nodded. "Because after protecting him, we still have to kill Yin Yan... So we can't leverage the situation. If Yin Yan is heavily guarded by many immortals, even if we manage to kill him, the likelihood of escape is low."

"So, for the first stage of the mission, we need to focus on two things: not letting Yin Yan die and using the hands of those hunters to eliminate Yin Yan's other means of combat."

"We need to minimize revealing our strength?" Zi You pondered. "But that's hard to gauge. If we hold back too much, Yin Yan might be killed easily, if we unleash too much power... we might allow Yin Yan to retain enough resistance and cause trouble for the assassination task..."

"That's the difficulty of this mission..."

Jin Mo and Zi You exchanged words, while Wu Yuan occasionally interjected, swiftly devising a detailed plan.

Each step interlocked.

Time and space missions not only tested strength but also intelligence and strategy. It required deducing multiple response plans from limited intelligence.

After a while, many plans were completed!

"No loopholes, no need to delay until the end of the day."

"The Spirit of Time and Space, requesting descent," Jin Mo shouted loudly.

"Confirming descent?" A cold voice simultaneously sounded in the minds of Wu Yuan and Zi You. Descent required the consent of each member.

"Confirmed!"

"Confirmed!"

Boom~

A surge of eerie power enveloped the three of them, swiftly carrying them into an extremely high-dimensional space, then swiftly beginning to lower the dimensions... the rolling momentum of dimensional space.

This left Wu Yuan, who had already condensed his true intent, deeply shaken, his perception incredibly clear.

And swiftly.

As the dimensional descent continued, Wu Yuan realized that they had arrived at the Ancient Star System, and the time-space mission... was about to begin.

...

As Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You formed the protective team and descended into the Ancient Star System.

In the dim space on the other side of the time-space transmission array.

There were exactly twelve figures.

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators, two Dharma Aspect cultivators, sitting opposite each other, each in silent meditation, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Suddenly.

All twelve received a reminder simultaneously and opened their eyes one after another.

"In fifteen minutes, the mission will begin," said a silver-haired young man who seemed to be the leader, his voice low. "I'll remind you all again."

"We're on a hunting mission. We have twelve people, while the other side has only three... and they've arrived only one minute ahead of us, such a short time isn't enough for them to leverage momentum."

"Combat, this indicates that it will mainly occur between our team, them, and Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal."

"And in terms of overall strength for the confrontation, both sides are evenly matched."

"This strength includes individual strength and the advantage of the terrain and timing that can be leveraged."

"So, in this mission, the other side may have an extremely terrifying entity, or each of them may surpass us by a large margin."

"So, we must fight desperately."

"Only by fighting desperately do we have a chance to complete the mission," the silver-haired youth said coldly. "Except for me, who is on an elite-level mission, all of you are on monarch-level missions..."

The hearts of the other eleven sank.

They clearly outnumbered the enemy by several times, but most of them were on monarch-level missions, indicating that the enemies they were about to face were incredibly formidable.

"As discussed before."

"Six plans."

"Remember, killing Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, is our top priority," said the silver-haired youth. "Seductress, we're counting on you."

"Yes." A woman in a red robe nodded.

Time passed by, and the team of twelve waited silently for the moment to arrive.

They were all prepared for battle.

...

The Ancient Star System was incredibly vast.

It contained billions of stars within.

Despite only a few of these stars being life-bearing, they still gave rise to a plethora of life, fostering a thriving cultivation civilization throughout the system.

The system was massive, with numerous Celestial Immortals and Earth Immortals reigning over various territories, including the lofty Celestial Immortal, who ruled over vast territories.

Nine-Performance Star!

This was a colossal star with a diameter of over a million miles, heavily modified to serve as the stronghold of Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal.

Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, is a renowned alchemy master in this vast expanse of starry cultivation realms.

He hails from a major sect.

But for some reason, he rarely returns to his sect. Instead, he always hides within the Nine-Performance Star, the intricacies of which are complex.

At the core of the star.

There lies an enormous space, emitting dazzling light waves with countless runes floating about. Clearly, it is an incredibly powerful formation, with countless streams of magma flowing within the space.

The temperature has soared to terrifying levels.

At the center of the space stands an enormous alchemy furnace, its radiance pulsating as it enters a crucial stage of alchemy.

A middle-aged man in a black daoist robe, with long beard, sits cross-legged in front of the furnace, continuously channeling his mana into it.

By his side.

Lie two massive beasts, one black and one white, exuding formidable auras, evidently the spirit beasts he has raised.

Not far away, there are also several dormant puppets, but it seems that these puppets are all under control.

And at the edge of this space.

There are some cultivators from the Illusionary Saint Sect meditating, all of whom are disciples or followers of Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?"

Yin Yan, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened them, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Because!

He sensed an extremely strange force that seemed to ignore many of his measures and directly infiltrate the interior of the star.

Following closely behind, three powerful figures had already arrived inside the space.

"Who is it?" Yin Yan's gaze turned icy. "Here for revenge?"

He understood what he had done, for the sake of refining these elixirs, he had slaughtered countless life-bearing stars.

Swish!

A figure suddenly shot out, his doppelganger, directly rushing out accompanied by a surging wave of Earth Immortal mana, quickly awakening the surrounding dormant puppets, whose auras became formidable.

Alchemy and artifact masters.

Often excel in puppet manipulation.

"There's an enemy."

"Who is it?"

"Not good." The two spirit beasts that were originally asleep also sensed this.

They simultaneously opened their eyes, their auras bursting forth.

At the same time, the Illusionary Saint Sect cultivators meditating at the edge of the space were shocked and horrified... they had already sensed the overwhelming aura of the incoming intruders.

Definitely at the Earth Immortal level.

Although it sounds slow, it all happened in an instant. Yin Yan's doppelganger had already rushed out, decisively triggering the formation of this star.

Eruption!

"Boom!"

"Boom!" Countless runes emerged, forming a barrier that encased the furnace for miles around. At the same time, the outer layer of the barrier gleamed brightly, converging into two terrifying thunderbolts that burst forth directly.

The power is magnificent! Sweeping across thousands of miles.

In terms of power alone, it's definitely approaching the level of Celestial Immortals, heading straight towards Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You, who had just appeared.

Yin Yan didn't think about anything else.

This is his stronghold facing sudden attackers, with a probability of enemies exceeding ninety-nine percent.

If they were friends, they would at least communicate outside the star first.

"Yin Yan, we are Time and Space Imprinters! We're here to protect you, stay calm," Zi You's voice echoed strangely in this space.

At the same time.

Whoosh! A terrifying golden light condensed, tearing through heaven and earth, directly facing the two thunderbolts.

---

P.S.: Six thousand words, minimum two-in-one update.

There's something going on at home today, so I'm just doing the minimum, will strive to update more tomorrow.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 385: Immortal Formation

The area of ten thousand miles may seem vast, but for the clashes at the Earth Immortal level, it's somewhat cramped.

In almost an instant, the dazzling golden light and the raging thunder clashed together.

"Boom!"

The qi of heaven and earth exploded, and the terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions, causing the space to distort faintly. The shockwaves directly hit the edge wall of this ten-thousand-mile diameter area, causing the wall to tremble and tear.

"Whoosh~"

Surrounding Zi You, layers of water currents emerged, with a faint radiance on the surface, easily protecting her, Jin Mo, and Wu Yuan.

"The fusion of True Domain Law and Water Law?" Wu Yuan keenly noticed: "Indeed, the strength of those who arranged to cooperate with me should not be underestimated. Zi You's strength, just the revealed domain power, is no less than the usual Celestial Immortal's Spatial Catastrophe Domain."

"Jin Mo, he's a Body Refiner, and his ranged attacks are equally terrifying," Wu Yuan thought to himself.

The Water Law excels in its continuous flow, while the True Domain Law, even among the three intermediate laws including Spatial Law, is the best at domain control.

When combined, it makes the domain power even more formidable.

As Wu Yuan delved deeper into the understanding of the Spatial Law, he also understood why so many peerless geniuses from various forces were so eager to comprehend the Spatial Law, even if they didn't major in it, they would still minor in it.

The Spatial Law is the foundation of all things.

Any law can easily combine and exhibit its power with the Spatial Law, greatly enhancing one's strength.

Moreover!

The Spatial Law is inherently crucial, especially in high-dimensional spatial battles and advancements, which are highly valued by the strong.

However, truly mastering the Spatial Law, specializing in it, is extremely rare.

As Wu Yuan knows, individuals like the Spatial Star Lord are one in a thousand among the ranks of Star Lords.

"Whoosh~"

Zi You's strength was formidable, easily blocking the shockwave, but these residual shockwaves instantly changed the expressions of some of Yin Yan's followers and disciples not far away, revealing a look of despair.

"Roar~"

"Boom!" The black and white spirit beasts simultaneously let out low roars, instantly transforming into extremely huge bodies, carrying surging formation power. One left and one right, they blocked the shockwave.

But the shockwaves still caused the surface of the two winged and four-legged spirit beasts to crack open, blood splattering.

For a moment, they all showed signs of pain.

The difference in strength was clear!

"Hmm?" Yin Yan, who activated the formation barrier, pupils contracted slightly, showing a look of shock.

This is the core of his stronghold. Although only the first layer of the formation was activated, it's comparable to the attacks of Celestial Immortals.

In theory, killing a few Earth Immortals would be easy.

But they were easily blocked?

In fact, Yin Yan had also heard the rumors from the other side.

But where would he believe them?

Boom! Boom! Boom! Dozens of figures, like lightning bolts, each body shining like metal, burning with flames all over.

They held curved blades!

Under the blessing of the formation power and Yin Yan's control, roaring, they once again charged towards Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and their group.

All of them were Yin Yan's Celestial Immortal puppets.

"You can't say I didn't give you a chance!" Zi You finally got angry, a hint of coldness flashing across her pretty face.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, chains of purple color sprouted from her arms, icy cold. They instantly activated boundless mighty power, like giant snakes, under the reinforcement of the water currents, their power surged to an extremely terrifying level.

"Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!"

Like lightning strikes, the chains were extremely agile, easily smashing the god-level puppets one after another.

"Crack~"

  Two purple chains instantly intertwined, resembling two battle blades, directly strangling and tearing apart one of the puppets, turning it into countless fragments.

  No resistance at all.

  "What?" Yin Yan's face changed drastically. He finally realized the terrifying strength of the intruders, far surpassing his own.

  In a normal confrontation, they were no match.

  If he wanted to win? Unless he truly activated the triple formation of the entire star stronghold, relying on the power of the formation might have a slim chance. However, in that case, the alchemy process would be disrupted.

  And now, it was a crucial moment in alchemy.

  "Abandon alchemy?" Yin Yan's heart trembled with fear as he thought of that terrifying presence.

  Almost in an instant.

  He had already activated his plea for help: "Zhuo Hao Celestial, help! It seems that Time and Space Island's mark bearers are attacking, help."

  Just hearing the message, Wu Yuan knew that the other party was there to protect him.

  But Yin Yan, who had weathered many storms, wouldn't directly believe the other party, would he?

  "Fellow Daoists have formidable strength, Yin Yan admires it, but Yin Yan does not know or have any grudges with you." Yin Yan, though activating the formation, did not make a move anymore, and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoists from Time and Space Island, are you here to carry out a time and space mission? Is the target me?"

  For endless years, the mark bearers of Time and Space Island had been executing time and space missions all over the Time and Space Dao Realm.

  They were powerful, with various means at their disposal, and were famous among countless strong individuals in the entire Time and Space Dao Realm.

  Of course.

  The so-called fame generally only extended to the level above Earth Immortal.

  For someone like Yin Yan, who was notorious for his evil deeds, although he had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, he had never seen a mark bearer from Time and Space Island, only heard of them.

  He also had some basic intelligence from the sect—faced with mark bearers from Time and Space Island, if one didn't have Celestial Immortal strength, they should avoid them as much as possible and try not to become enemies with them.

  "You understand that if it were just us, it would be very difficult to come directly to you." Jin Mo said solemnly.

  Yin Yan remained silent.

  This was an important reason why he believed the claims of the other mark bearers. As the owner of his own stronghold, he was still confident. Unless they could enter a high-dimensional space.

  Otherwise!

  Even Celestial Immortals couldn't silently break in.

  Only Time and Space Island possessed unimaginable temporal and spatial power, which was nurtured and valued by the legendary 'Time and Space Dao Lord' who created heaven and earth.

  Yes, the Lords of the Dao Realm might know the secret of Time and Space Island, but ordinary Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals were unaware.

  In their eyes, Time and Space Island was a force under the Dao Lord's command.

  "Yin Yan, let me tell you, among the three of us, my strength is the weakest." Zi You suddenly spoke, her voice indifferent: "If we really fight, you will undoubtedly die. Our mission from Time and Space Island is to protect you."

  "The weakest? Protect me?" Yin Yan was even more shocked.

  The weakest, and their strength was still so strong?

  "There is another group of mark bearers from Time and Space Island, who are about to attack you, and their strength is stronger than ours." Jin Mo said coldly: "This is a confrontation mission, and you are their target for elimination."

  "A confrontation mission? I'm the target?" Yin Yan was truly panicked.

  He wasn't stupid. A little deduction made it clear to him.

  The probability of the other party deceiving him was very low, and with a ninety-nine percent probability, the attacking team's strength would be terrifying.

  Otherwise.

  If they couldn't even defeat the three in front of them, how could they overcome their obstacles to kill him?

  "Alright, I believe you." Yin Yan gritted his teeth: "What do you want me to do? It's a crucial moment in alchemy, and I can't give up."

  Jin Mo, Wu Yuan, and Zi You glanced at each other.

  "Release all of your formation controls and leave it to us to control." Zi You said coldly: "Your strength is too weak. In my hands, the power of the formation will increase several times."

  This was their plan.

  The first goal was to gain control of the formation.

  "No!"

Yin Yan Earth Immortal decisively shook his head: "My formation can only be controlled by me. At most, I can grant you first-level access."

"Furthermore, you need to leave my star stronghold and confront the enemy outside," Yin Yan Earth Immortal stared at them.

"No control of the formation, understood."

Jin Mo shook his head, "However, we will only stay here and not go out to confront the enemy."

This was a game of wits.

Yin Yan Earth Immortal wanted Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and them to leave the core of the stronghold and consume each other with the hunters.

But Jin Mo and the others couldn't have their way without gaining control of the formation.

"How can I trust you like this?" Yin Yan Earth Immortal gritted his teeth, "How can I be sure that your ultimate goal is not me? Or my elixirs? Once my formation is shaken and the core formation is broken, I am like a lamb to the slaughter."

The stronghold's formation is interconnected.

The reason why Yin Yan Earth Immortal still had some confidence was because of the formation barrier that covered his self and the alchemy furnace within a radius of thousands of miles.

This first-level barrier was the strongest defense!

However, once the numerous formations outside the star were breached, the power of the formation barrier would also greatly diminish.

Jin Mo and Zi You frowned slightly, this old fox.

"Yin Yan."

Wu Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "You have no choice but to trust us."

Silent and invisible.

"Swish!" A flying sword had pierced through the barrier, appearing inside the barrier in an instant, less than a hundred miles away from Yin Yan Earth Immortal's original body.

This scene.

Made Yin Yan Earth Immortal's face change drastically: "A high-dimensional sword?"

Only a high-dimensional sword could ignore the barrier of this first-level formation!

Jin Mo and Zi You were equally surprised. Weapons integrating into high-dimensional space, although easier than the true body entering space, was still extremely difficult.

At least.

Neither of them could do it.

At this moment, Jin Mo and Zi You simultaneously recalled Wu Yuan's previous words: "I am skilled in spatial laws."

It seemed that he hadn't lied to them.

"Yin Yan, I've always been reasonable. What do you think?" Wu Yuan's voice was indifferent, permeating the space everywhere.

"Friend's words make sense, I believe you."

Yin Yan Earth Immortal's expression was ugly, and he forced out a smile: "As you said, you will guard the barrier from the outside."

"I will grant you first-level access to the formation."

"Good." Wu Yuan nodded, and with a thought, the flying sword that had pierced through the void disappeared silently.

...

"The high-dimensional sword, Brother Mingjian, is indeed extraordinary."

"In this way, it will be easy to kill this Yin Yan later." Jin Mo and Zi You's voices sounded successively.

The three communicated with each other through divine sense.

"Not that easy."

Wu Yuan shook his head slightly and communicated via divine sense, "Just now, he only activated the first-level formation, so I managed to ambush him. Once the battle starts, he will definitely activate the second-level formation."

"From my observation, if the protective formation of this star is intact, it can impede the dimensional expansion of high-dimensional space," Wu Yuan said.

Entering high-dimensional space doesn't mean invincibility.

There are many ways to defend against it, but executing them is more difficult.

"Not difficult."

Jin Mo smiled, "In a real battle, Zi You will provide protection, I will attack head-on, and Brother Mingjian will be responsible for the ambush."

"Okay." Zi You nodded.

They were initially somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Yuan, but now they were very satisfied. With just one high-dimensional sword, he was the most terrifying assassin under a Celestial Immortal.

Time passed breath by breath.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Wu Yuan instantly sensed it, his eyes slightly narrowed: "They're here, the team of mark bearers attacking, there are twelve of them, already in the void two million miles away."

They all have obtained first-level access to the entire formation.

Combined with mastery of spatial truths.

It can be said that within a radius of tens of millions of miles, the more obvious spatial fluctuations cannot escape Wu Yuan's perception.

"Twelve people?"

"They came so fast." Jin Mo and Zi You's vigilant hearts suddenly surged, increasingly admiring Wu Yuan.

Although both of them can explore through formations, they didn't notice anything.

Wu Yuan's perceptual ability was simply incredible.

...

In a starry sky in the Chonggu Galaxy, a figure emitting a powerful aura suddenly rose into the sky on a star.

"Mark bearers? Conflict?"

"Damn it."

"Yin Yan, a mere Earth Immortal, how could he be involved in a dispute over Time Isle's tasks?" The white-robed old man's face darkened.

He was Zuo Hao Celestial, the true overlord of this vast starry sky.

In the entire Chonggu Galaxy, besides Celestial, he feared no one.

"No."

"Yin Yan's elixirs are crucial to me. He's just an Earth Immortal, probably only involved in conflicts at the level of avatars." Zuo Hao Celestial analyzed rapidly. "Even if this level of mark bearers is strong, they won't be outrageously so."

His judgment was reasonable.

Because true geniuses, at the level of avatars, would breakthrough to the level of Creating Universe in thousands of years at most.

They wouldn't linger too long at this level.

There were monsters among the Celestials who could rival or even kill other Celestials, but for Earth Immortals and Earth Gods to match the top Celestials? That was very difficult.

"These mark bearers may be geniuses."

"But Time Isle won't help these mark bearers seek revenge." Zuo Hai Celestial had a much higher perspective than Yin Yan Earth Immortal.

He was very clear about the details of Time Isle.

"I am a Six-Calamity Celestial. I don't believe I can't suppress a group of youngsters." Zuo Hao Celestial made a decision instantly.

Whether Yin Yan Earth Immortal lives or dies, he didn't care too much.

What he cared about was the elixir about to be successfully refined.

Boom!

Zuo Hao Celestial's figure moved, swiftly rushing towards a huge teleportation array in the distance. Only by using the teleportation array could he arrive faster.

"Hmm?" Zuo Hao Celestial's eyes narrowed slightly.

Because he received a message from Yin Yan Earth Immortal again.

Another team of mark bearers from Time Isle has begun to attack.

...

That's right!

When the team led by the silver-haired youth and the girl in red arrived.

Without much hesitation, they launched their attack.

The silver-haired youth immediately intertwined with the surrounding five Earth Immortal figures, gathering surging fortune of heaven and earth. Under their feet, formations emerged.

The formations spawned layers of Dao patterns, causing the six Earth Immortals led by the silver-haired youth to form a terrifying beast.

All silver!

Four legs, four claws.

Although the body seemed slender, the overall aura was extremely terrifying, especially the four sharp claws, which were like blades.

"Praying Mantis God Beast?" Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You, who were at the core of the star, recognized it instantly.

This is a very powerful divine beast.

Although it's currently formed by formations, its strength is equally terrifying.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" The formation-formed drill god-beast moved, its four claws waving, cutting through the sky, directly charging towards the immensely huge star in front of it.

And the two Earth Gods, also transformed into towering figures, like gods and demons, one on the left and one on the right, killing towards them.

Swish! Swish! Swish! The five Earth Immortals following behind each cast spells, or domain formations, or activated magic treasures, each bursting out terrifying power.

Slow to describe, but actually in an instant.

"Boom rumble~" Ten Earth Immortals, two Earth Gods had already launched a terrifying offensive, instantly causing the heavens and earth to change color. The entire star burst into brilliant flames.

Attempting to stop them.

But where could they block?

The drill god-beast and the two Earth Gods almost recklessly charged forward.

Especially the two Earth Gods, one wielding a war knife, the other swinging a war hammer, easily blocking a large number of formation attacks.

The attack of the drill god-beast was extremely terrifying.

But it was ultimately formed by the 'Immortal-level formation' of the five Earth Immortals, not a true divine beast, so its defense was relatively weak.

But the Earth Gods were different.

For Earth Gods, ordinary attacks were like scratching an itch, and the five Earth Immortals following closely behind were wreaking havoc.

"Destroy it, don't rush into the core, tear apart the entire periphery of the star, destroy all the places that serve as the foundation of the formation." The girl in the red robe transmitted.

They cooperated with each other, steadily advancing.

Soon, they had traveled tens of thousands of miles, and they were getting closer and closer to the core of the star.

...

"I have activated the second-level formation, but I can't hold on for too long."

Yin Yan Earth Immortal's spiritual body's eyes were slightly red. "That drill god-beast's strength is comparable to a powerful God. They'll definitely break in."

"You three, if you don't make a move now, the formation will be destroyed soon."

If the entire star exerted its full force, it wouldn't be broken so quickly, but most of the power was concentrated in the core for alchemy.

"This team of hunters is a bit too terrifying." Zi You watched with a pounding heart.

"It is indeed terrifying."

"Those two Earth Gods, based on the strength they've revealed, shouldn't be much weaker than me, and that drill god-beast's strength is no less than mine." Jin Mo said solemnly.

This scene made them both somewhat puzzled.

According to reason, the overall strength of the mark bearer team shouldn't have a huge gap.

Otherwise, there would be no point in confrontation.

However, they still didn't make a move.

Because they were still observing the enemy's attack methods, waiting for the most appropriate opportunity to strike.

"Boom rumble~" Another formation cornerstone was broken, and the entire star was shaking faintly.

"Why haven't you acted yet?" Yin Yan Earth Immortal's eyes were bloodshot, almost roaring, "If you don't act now, the formation will be useless."

Jin Mo, Zi You, and Wu Yuan glanced at each other.

"Let's go!"

Jin Mo's voice was low.

In an instant, he turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the core of the star. His body directly transformed into a towering figure, gleaming with golden light, with nine arms holding nine war knives, roaring and attacking towards the drill god-beast.

Jin Mo's momentum was overwhelming, the blades roaring, directly meeting the drill god-beast.

"Finally, it appears."

But the drill god-beast was not surprised but delighted, emitting bursts of eerie low growls, its four feet treading in the void, its four claws waving and killing.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 386: Sword Cracks the Void

The drill god-beast, also towering and tall, swung its four claws, emitting sharp claw lights, resembling four terrifying divine swords, attacking Jin Mo.

The two great powerhouses collided instantly.

For a moment, sword lights filled the heavens and earth.

The terrifying aftermath of the battle caused the already crumbling star to be torn apart even more, with countless star fragments bombarding further away.

Although Jin Mo had nine war knives, the drill god-beast trod in the void with its four feet, its movements mysterious and unpredictable, actually suppressing him.

"He's being suppressed."

"Who is this Earth God? Haven't seen him before! Seems to be cultivating the Law of Gold, but not as powerful as we imagined."

"Die!"

"Fall!" The two powerful Earth Gods also wielded their war knives and war hammers, thunderously attacking Jin Mo, forming a siege.

"Go!"

"Let's kill this Earth God first." The five Earth Immortals following closely behind each displayed their own techniques, either magic treasures or spells, rushing towards Jin Mo.

This momentum was simply terrifying.

"So strong?" Jin Mo's aura was overwhelming, but his face changed drastically as he was repeatedly struck by one attack after another, spitting out blood.

In terms of individual strength, he was stronger than any of the twelve mark bearers of the hunting team, but once they joined forces, he struggled to hold on.

Moreover, he cultivated the Heavenly Rank Source Technique, specializing in attack. If he had the upper hand, he would naturally be imposing.

But once his attacks were thwarted, the situation would become unfavorable.

"Water! Cold Immortal Chains." But it was at this moment that Zi You erupted. She invoked the residual power of the star formations, empowering herself.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chains emerged, like wandering dragons, each tens of thousands of miles long, carrying surging blue water currents, terrifying in their power, sweeping across the sky and earth.

Enveloping the drill god-beast and the two Earth Gods.

This momentum made the entire world seem to change color. Just now, Zi You hadn't been idle. She had been comprehending formations, combining them with her own magic treasures, in order to unleash her strongest power.

"Not good!"

"Block it." The drill god-beast and the two Earth Gods' expressions changed slightly. Naturally, they could perceive the terrifying power contained within the chains.

"What a powerful Earth Immortal."

"It's Zi Han Immortal, I know her." Suddenly, in the hunting team, an Earth Immortal recognized Zi You's identity.

In the long years of exchanging and exchanging information among the eight million mark bearers, it was normal to recognize each other.

"Stop her."

"Hurry." Three out of the five Earth Immortals in the hunting team immediately changed their tactics.

No longer surrounding Jin Mo.

The Earth Gods were immensely powerful, and unless they had overwhelming superiority, it was almost impossible to kill them quickly.

These three Earth Immortals instead manipulated their magic treasures and cast spells to resist Zi You's magic treasures and domain suppression.

With three against one, they also held the absolute upper hand, continuously causing Zi You's icy chains to fly chaotically, completely unable to assist Jin Mo.

At the same time, Zi You's domain was continuously being forced back.

As for the last two Earth Immortals? They simply cast spells, surrounded by powerful magic treasures, protecting the five Earth Immortals.

Speaking slowly.

In reality, with the support of the formation, the fully exerted Jin Mo and Zi You had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage upon their first clash.

Especially Jin Mo, who was under heavy siege.

"Kill them."

"This mission seems not as difficult as imagined. Although the strength of this Earth God and Earth Immortals is decent, their comprehension of the Dao is far from reaching the level of mastering a Dao. Their magic treasures are also average and cannot stop us."

"Let's continue fighting for a while and kill Zi Han Immortal first."

"Be careful, there's still one who hasn't made a move."

"Don't worry, it seems like the last one is a bit clueless. He hasn't even summoned his magic treasure... We'll be careful." This hunting team exchanged messages with each other.

Confident and imposing.

They couldn't help but be confident. In terms of Dao comprehension, even their weakest was comparable to a Triple-Calamity Upper Immortal. Their understanding of the Dao was generally at the peak level of Upper Immortals.

Although they were only sending their Law Bodies, they could still unleash Upper Immortal-level combat power.

However.

They were extremely lucky that none of them recognized Wu Yuan. After all, Wu Yuan's appearance had changed slightly compared to when he was in the Time and Space Immortal Realm.

"Puff!"

The blade light of the drill god-beast changed, and suddenly, in conjunction with another Earth God, they struck Jin Mo, causing him to retreat and spit out blood.

The situation became even more unfavorable.

"Kill him."

"Annihilate him." The twelve members of the hunting team finally found an opportunity and even the two Earth Immortals who had been responsible for protection couldn't hold back any longer. They manipulated their magic treasures and attacked, intending to kill Jin Mo in one fell swoop.

If they could tear apart his body, it would be much easier to kill him.

"Sword Chime." Jin Mo's anxious voice echoed in Wu Yuan's mind.

"Hurry, it's our chance." Zi You transmitted as well.

Wu Yuan, who had been standing at the back without making a move, naturally understood that the opportunity had come when he saw the two Earth Immortals responsible for guarding beginning to manipulate their magic treasures to attack.

"It is indeed an opportunity." Wu Yuan's eyes were calm.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the 'Space Fragment Layer' of high-dimensional space that all the powerhouses present could hardly see, space fragments collided with each other, stirring up spatial torrents.

But Wu Yuan could easily perceive and see them.

Moreover, if he wished, he could directly enter high-dimensional space now. At this moment, in the Space Fragment Layer, there were numerous powerful spiritual treasures, hovering suspended.

A total of eighty-one of them.

These were the spiritual treasures, flying swords, that Wu Yuan had manipulated and infiltrated into high-dimensional space in advance, which had not yet been unleashed.

"The Sword of High Dimensionality is used to attack low-dimensional beings. The difference in dimensions makes it impossible to defend against. With a difference in dimensions of tens of thousands of times, the sword seems to teleport." Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.

This was the horror of the Dao of Space.

Unlike the mysteries of elements like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which, no matter how powerful, only involved the continuous improvement of strength levels, the Dao of Space involved the improvement of dimensions.

The Dao of Space was divided into three major intermediate-level Dao.

If one only comprehended the Dao of Heaven and Earth, it could be said to be mysterious and unpredictable. But if one also mastered the True Domain Dao and the Rift Dao, it would be different.

Especially the Rift Dao, when fully exerted through complete spatial comprehension, its attack power was extremely terrifying.

"The complete comprehension of space, in terms of domain, is close to the Earth's True Intent; in terms of attack, it is no less than the Gold's True Intent; in terms of control of speed dimensions, it surpasses even the Wind's True Intent." Wu Yuan silently gazed ahead. "That's why it dares to be called the second-ranked among the fifteen upper-level Dao."

Second only to the Dao of Time.

Condensing the true meaning of space, even without employing the life law, Wu Yuan's strength had reached a terrifying level.

"It's time to end this."

After observing for so long, Wu Yuan decided not to waste any more time. In an instant, the eighty-one hidden flying swords in the space fragment layer were connected, condensed, and formed a hundred-sword formation.

The stronger the magic treasure, the harder it was to form a sword formation.

In the high-dimensional space, amidst the surging spatial torrents, maintaining the sword formation was even more difficult. Even with Wu Yuan's formidable mana, he could only form a hundred-sword formation.

"Kill!"

The flying swords moved.

In the material space layer, Wu Yuan and five Earth Immortals, including the distant girl in red, were tens of thousands of miles apart.

But in the space fragment layer, they were only a dozen miles apart.

"Puff!"

The nearly transparent spatial divine sword seemed to pierce through space. As soon as it appeared, it had already pierced through the girl in red's eyes.

Wu Yuan had long sensed that this girl in red was very strong.

"Pfft!"

The divine sword swept through with a dazzling light, fleeting, directly piercing through the girl in red's head. The terrifying sword qi instantly shredded her soul and body.

Fallen!

There was no struggle at all.

When Wu Yuan, who controlled the true meaning of space, had the upper hand in Dao comprehension, mana, and magic treasures, striking down an Earth Immortal with a sudden sword strike?

Too easy.

"If killing Earth Gods is troublesome, after all, it's difficult to kill them with one move." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "But killing Earth Immortals?"

If there were still powerful magic treasures protecting them, stabilizing the space, and isolating high-dimensional space from descending, they could still be slightly vigilant.

But just now, the powerful magic treasures of the last two Earth Immortals were used for attack.

"Phew!"

With the space divine sword landing a hit, it had once again merged into high-dimensional space, disappearing without a trace.

Just an instant.

"Pfft!" Another beam of light flickered, and another Earth Immortal was killed, directly falling.

...

"Kill!"

"Kill that Earth Immortal."

"What?" Originally, the few Earth Immortals who stayed at the back of the team were full of confidence, thinking that this mission would be easily completed.

Suddenly—

The other four Earth Immortals were shocked to see an almost invisible divine sword suddenly appear, cutting through the long void, piercing through the double defense of mana and domain, and penetrating the girl in red's head.

Directly killed!

"Mei Nü is dead?"

"It's the Sword of High Dimensionality!"

"Be careful." Just as the remaining four Earth Immortals flashed this thought, another cold light flashed, and another Earth Immortal was killed.

Too fast.

The attack of the high-dimensional sword was unbelievably fast, something they couldn't predict in advance at all.

"Not good."

"It's that Earth Immortal in white robes. He's the strongest one, controlling the Sword of High Dimensionality, and his attack power is incredibly terrifying." The three remaining Earth Immortals felt like their minds were about to explode, almost unable to believe it.

An Earth Immortal controlling the Sword of High Dimensionality? Extremely rare.

Without any hesitation.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The remaining three Earth Immortals all gave up controlling their distant magic treasures and spells at the same time.

Their aura suddenly surged, new magic treasures appearing beside them, condensing space.

"What?"

"Not good."

"Did Mei Nü just die like that?" The Sword-Wielding Divine Beast and the two Earth Immortals were equally shocked, looking incomparably stunned at the inconspicuous figure in white robes.

Instantly.

In their hearts, Wu Yuan became extremely terrifying.

"Good!"

"Killed two in one go." Jin Mo and Zi You were delighted at the sight, also shocked by Wu Yuan's outburst.

Their gazes towards Wu Yuan were somewhat unusual.

Normally, if one had mastered the Quadruple Realization of the Universe's True Intent, it would be difficult to execute such a terrifying high-dimensional sword in a fierce battle without being detected in advance.

After all, like these imprint reporters, each had some comprehension of space, and some of them had quite a high level of comprehension.

But Mei Nü and the others didn't notice anything.

It could only mean one thing—Wu Yuan's comprehension of spatial laws was too high, far surpassing this group of hunters.

"Kill!" Jin Mo roared.

"Go." Zi You controlled the ice chain magic treasure.

Without the help of Mei Nü and the other five Earth Immortals, Jin Mo and Zi You could still contend against the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast and the two Earth Immortals.

... "Giving up the distant magic treasures for attack? Very clever," Wu Yuan noticed the thoughts of the three Earth Immortals.

If they had slowly controlled their magic treasures to retreat, they would have probably been killed by Wu Yuan's manipulation of the space divine sword long ago.

They had to make a decision immediately.

Otherwise, it was certain death.

"But, can you hold on?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, his mind moving, and the formation of swords tens of thousands of miles away condensed and penetrated into high-dimensional space once again.

This time, they were thousands of miles away.

"Rending Space!" Wu Yuan's eyes were indifferent as he directly displayed the various subtleties of the Rending Space Dao.

Whoosh!

The sword tore through the void, leaving behind a black crack that seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth, enduring for a long time, directly striking towards the three Earth Immortals.

In recent years, while comprehending the laws of space, Wu Yuan had not cultivated extremely powerful spatial sword formations, but just by actively triggering his Dao comprehension, the power was incredibly terrifying.

In terms of Dao comprehension, when Wu Yuan employed spatial laws, he was comparable to a Seventh Tribulation Celestial Immortal.

In terms of magic treasures, the combination of a hundred superior spirit treasures was not inferior to ordinary Celestial Immortal treasures, and was even slightly stronger.

It could be said that the outbreak of Wu Yuan's Qi Refinement Law Body now, in terms of direct attack, even if not as good as a Fourth Tribulation Celestial Immortal, was not far behind.

"Not good."

"Block it." The three Earth Immortals' expressions changed drastically in an instant, their most powerful magic treasures temporarily abandoned.

The time was short, and there was no time to use powerful spells.

They could only join forces and desperately resist.

"Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!"

Six consecutive collisions, the divine sword was like a blade, its might incomparable, lightning-like, breaking open the protective magic treasures of the three Earth Immortals.

And swept past them.

All were slain! Not one could escape.

"Kill!"

With a thought, Wu Yuan saw the space divine sword whistling, tearing through tens of thousands of miles of void in an instant, and lightning-like, striking towards the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast and the two Earth Immortals.

Instantly!

The remaining five Earth Immortals and two Earth Gods panicked.

They had all witnessed Wu Yuan's terrifying power and understood the most difficult part of this mission—Wu Yuan!

Direct confrontation had a very small chance of winning.

"Run."

"Quickly!" The Sword-Wielding Divine Beast and the two Earth Gods instantly decided to flee; if the mission failed, so be it.

If their avatars were to fall again, the losses would be too great.

"Whoosh!"

The space divine sword tore through the void, directly sending one of the Earth Gods flying backward, followed by another sword slashing through, tearing them apart, exploding into pieces.

Rumbling~

The remains of the Earth God attempted to struggle and converge wildly, but chains appeared in the air, mercilessly tearing them apart, preventing the fragments from coming together.

As their life force rapidly depleted, when their source of life was exhausted, it would be the moment of death.

"Spare me!" The Earth God struggled repeatedly.

"Is there a need to exterminate everyone?" The Sword-Wielding Divine Beast anxiously growled, wielding its claws to withstand the continuous bombardment of the divine sword.

But with Jin Mo crazily attacking from the side, the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast's speed was greatly reduced, making it difficult to escape.

"Spare me!" Another Earth God, similarly under siege by several chains, struggled desperately.

"Just time and space missions."

"We're willing to give up half of our treasures. How about it?" The Sword-Wielding Divine Beast transmitted once again.

"We want everything."

Wu Yuan's voice was indifferent, yet dozens of spirit treasures appeared beside him, enveloping an area of over ten thousand miles with sword energy.

This kind of domain power was even greater than the domain power displayed by Zi You, shaking people to their core, but also plunging the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast and the two Earth Gods into complete despair.

There was simply no hope of escape.

"Fine."

"We'll hand over all our treasures. Let us go." The leader of the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast internally transmitted repeatedly, "But you must swear by time and space."

"You have no choice." Wu Yuan shouted, but his attack became even more powerful.

"Tear~"

Another flash, unexpectedly severing one of the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast's legs, causing it to stagger, almost unable to stand in the void.

"Good! Good!"

"We agree." The leader of the Sword-Wielding Divine Beast, the 'Silver-Haired Youth,' said repeatedly, "We'll release the formation now, but you must promise not to kill us."

"Don't worry." Zi You said.

"We know the rules." Jin Mo said in a low voice, "But don't try to deceive us either."

Under the pressure of the sword formation.

Rumbling~ The still-intact Sword-Wielding Divine Beast quickly dispersed, turning into five streams of light flying away.

The two Earth Gods, one with greatly diminished life force and the other on the verge of falling, both stood in place with great fear.

Meanwhile, Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You also stopped.

However.

They didn't put away their treasures, still maintaining their battle-ready state, ready to strike at any moment.

"Aren't you ruthless."

The silver-haired youth smiled bitterly, his gaze falling on Wu Yuan, "Especially you. Clearly, your power is overwhelming, but you only acted at the end... and directly killed the avatars of five Earth Immortals."

Killing avatars wouldn't cause the true selves to perish, but the losses were immense.

Although geniuses who came to the Temporal-Spatial Dao Realm were talented, not every one of them was as wealthy as Wu Yuan; most could use immortal life pills only once or twice at most.

"What ruthlessness are you talking about when it comes to resisting missions? Weren't you all also aiming to kill from the start?"

Wu Yuan said lightly, "Hand over all your treasures, and we'll let you leave. But if I catch you hiding any treasures, don't blame us."

This was an unspoken rule in temporal-space missions.

If both sides of the mark bearers didn't have a deep enmity, when one side had no hope of escaping, they would usually choose to surrender and hand over all their treasures.

And for the victorious side, there was no benefit in exterminating them completely, except for settling grievances.

So, over time, this kind of unspoken rule was established.

"Naturally."

"Since it's come to this, we won't resort to trickery." The silver-haired youth shook his head helplessly and said to his six teammates beside him, "Let's hand over our treasures. At least we can save our avatars' lives."

Under the powerful intimidation of Wu Yuan, the four Earth Immortals and two Earth Gods all nodded obediently.

They were all frightened by Wu Yuan's explosive power.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Quickly, the five Earth Immortals and two Earth Gods swiftly handed over a large number of treasures, mainly high-quality spiritual treasures and storage treasures.

There was only one low-grade immortal artifact.

This was normal; for missions with high mortality rates like this, which usually lasted a short time, they typically wouldn't carry too many powerful treasures.

"Farewell." The silver-haired youth, wearing only a robe formed by treasures, bowed.

Then he quickly left with the several Earth Immortals and Earth Gods.

The void fell silent.

"We've held up our end." Wu Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the distant void. With a thought, waves of spatial fluctuations descended.

They quickly collected all the treasures of the five Earth Immortals they had slain earlier.

"Admirable, Sword Chime friend," Jin Mo said solemnly.

"Amazing," Zi You exclaimed sincerely, her gaze towards Wu Yuan showing a different kind of respect.

At the beginning of the mission, they were somewhat worried that Wu Yuan might drag them down. After all, fame didn't necessarily equate to strength.

But after the battle just now, they truly witnessed Wu Yuan's terrifying power.

"Sword Chime friend."

Zi You couldn't help but ask, "Are you truly controlling the essence of space?"

"The essence of space? Is that true?" Jin Mo was astonished.

"Yeah." Wu Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded. There was no need to hide it; after going through multiple temporal-space missions, the other mark bearers weren't fools, and they would naturally understand.

Someone like Zi You, with an obvious high comprehension of space law, could discern it clearly.

"Is it really the essence of space?" A hint of shock flashed in Zi You's eyes.

"The essence of space? An Earth Immortal controlling the essence of space?" Jin Mo looked at Wu Yuan in utter shock.

Wu Yuan understood why they were so surprised.

Earth Immortals, like Senior Brother Zhang Hong, who comprehended a medium-level law to the level of the Dao Domain, had a level of comprehension of the Way comparable to that of a Seven Tribulations Celestial Immortal.

Already considered top-notch comprehension among Earth Immortals.

But the essence of space, although seemingly only at the level of a Seven Tribulations Celestial Immortal, was much more difficult to comprehend the law of space.

It was extremely rare!

"Truly formidable!" Zi You couldn't help but say, "I heard from a friend of the Tai Yuan lineage that Sword Chime friend has only been practicing for a few hundred years, right?"

"No wonder you were granted the Dao Lord's mark," Zi You sighed.

"Only a few hundred years of practice?" Jin Mo was even more astonished. He considered himself gifted, but it took him several thousand years to reach his current level of strength.

Compared to Wu Yuan, he was practically trash!

"Haha, don't worry about that," Wu Yuan chuckled. "Let's divide up the spoils first, shall we?"

"I checked just now, these two low-grade immortal artifacts belong to me, and you can split the other treasures. How about that?" Wu Yuan proposed.

"Fine."

"No problem." Jin Mo and Zi You had no objections. Although the rest were just spiritual treasures, when added together, each person would still receive hundreds of divine crystals. Not a small sum.

Moreover, in this battle, they mainly relied on Wu Yuan. Without him, not only would they have failed the temporal-space mission, but their avatars might have perished as well.

The three quickly collected the spoils.

"Next, we wait for one day to pass and then kill Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal," Wu Yuan transmitted to Jin Mo and Zi You.

"Okay."

"One Yin Yan is nothing to worry about. As long as we don't let him escape," Zi You transmitted.

"With Sword Chime friend here, he won't get away," Jin Mo grinned.

Clearly, he had a lot of confidence in Wu Yuan.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You quickly returned to the core space of the broken stars, where the impact was minimal.

"We won so quickly?"

"Thanks to the three of you for your help." Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, seemed extremely surprised and approached them voluntarily. "Yin Yan is extremely grateful."

However, in Yin Yan's heart, there was a hint of dissatisfaction. He muttered to himself, "With such strong power, why did they have to wait for the enemy to destroy most of my star array?"

"Mark bearers? Protecting me? Hmph! They must have another motive."

"Yes, Senior Zhou Hao is almost here."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 387 What if I say no?

If Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, had some schemes before, now he dared not.

A group of mark bearers, each capable of bursting with Immortal or God-level strength, easily destroyed most of his lair.

But they were directly defeated by the three mark bearers before him.

Especially Wu Yuan, Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, was even more fearful, as he continuously killed many Earth Immortals, almost like sweeping fallen leaves.

Their strength was so strong, it was unbelievable. It was not something Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, could provoke. No matter how many schemes he had, he naturally dared not expose them.

"Three friends," Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, complimented with a smile. "Since these hunters have been defeated, has your time-space mission been completed? Do you want to leave?"

"I have no other treasures to offer, only some pills. I hope the three friends won't look down on them," Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, said politely.

With a wave of his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three gourd-shaped treasures flew out, the stoppers were pulled out, and a rich aura of heaven and earth gushed out.

Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You had extremely high insights, easily identifying them as pills to replenish spiritual energy.

For ordinary Earth Immortals, these pills were still decent.

But for them, they were quite mediocre. The opportunity to cultivate on the Time-Space Island was precious, and there were no mediocre cultivators there. Their resources and wealth were considerable.

"Thank you, Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal," Wu Yuan smiled, waving his hand to collect one of the gourds of pills and then offering the other two to Jin Mo and Zi You.

"However," Wu Yuan changed the subject. "Our mission is to protect you for three days. The recent attacks were just the first wave." Wu Yuan's tone shifted. "Perhaps there will be a second or even a third wave, and we cannot confirm it."

"So, for your safety and for the sake of our mission, we cannot leave temporarily," Wu Yuan said solemnly.

"Several waves of attacks? Within three days?" Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, couldn't help but be surprised.

He feared Wu Yuan and the others, but he couldn't determine the truthfulness of their words. Moreover, at least in the recent attack, Wu Yuan and the others did protect him.

It could be said that if it weren't for Wu Yuan, he would probably have been killed by now.

"What's wrong, Yin Yan, friend? Do you still think we're deceiving you?" Zi You, dressed in purple, said lightly.

"I dare not, I dare not," Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, said with a smile. "I am honored to have several friends to protect me. Please come inside."

"Okay."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You immediately followed the Earth Immortal Yin Yan's avatar and quickly returned to the central space of the star core, where the damage from the previous battle was severe on the outer layers but had little impact here.

"Please, friends, sit down," Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, said with a smile, then flew into the barrier.

At the same time, many puppets with strengths comparable to Earth Gods began to repair the heavily damaged massive stars with a large amount of materials.

"Sit."

Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You each sat down, showing no signs of abnormality, as if they were just carrying out their protection mission.

This scene made Yin Yan, who had hidden in the barrier, feel much more at ease.

As time passed.

Suddenly.

"Boom~" Countless bloodlights surged faintly in the huge alchemy furnace surrounded by magma, causing the thousand-mile area within the barrier to faintly emit bloodlights, making people's hearts tremble.

A powerful surge of life force is surging in the alchemy furnace, as if some mighty life is trying to gestate from it.

In such a scene.

Though Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You seemed normal, they were actually observing and communicating in secret.

"This kind of life bloodlight is terrifying," Zi You's voice echoed in their minds. "It makes me feel a bit uneasy. What kind of pills is Yin Yan refining? Something feels off."

"According to intelligence, Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, has slaughtered several Life Stars, billions of living beings... but judging from the life bloodlight gushing from the furnace, it's probably more than tens of trillions of lives." Jin Mo calmly transmitted, "It's eerie! Such brutal behavior of his hasn't been stopped or punished by the powers of this starry sky?"

"The situation does indeed differ from the intelligence," Wu Yuan also said, "Could it be that this is the reason why our time-space mission requires us to kill him?"

"No," Zi You decisively shook her head. "Whether it's slaughtering billions or tens of billions of living beings, it's not something the Time-Space Island, or the supreme Time-Space Lord, would interfere with. It's a long-standing custom."

Wu Yuan nodded gently.

In the eyes of the universe, there is no distinction between good and evil, no concept of merit or sin. Just like an ordinary person, perhaps throughout their life, they have saved countless weak, but they have also consumed a lot of livestock and chopped down numerous trees for survival... In the eyes of the universe, what's the difference between intelligent life and livestock?

What is merit? What is sin?

The so-called good and evil only exist in one's heart, representing the viewpoints of certain individuals or groups, but never representing the will of the universe.

And there won't be any divine punishment just because of a large-scale slaughter.

For Wu Yuan himself, he abhorred Yin Yan's actions, but some dark cultivators might see it as the law of the jungle, as natural.

And as far as Wu Yuan knew, places like the Time-Space Island, or the Time-Space Lord, adhered more closely to the will of the universe itself.

That is, not intervening, not restraining, not managing.

"As long as it doesn't disrupt the operation rules of the Time-Space Domain itself, the Time-Space Island won't intervene," Jin Mo transmitted, "There are two possibilities: first, it's a random task, and Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, got unlucky and was randomly selected by the Time-Space Island's time-space mission."

"Second, Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, has become involved in some major event threatening the operation of the Time-Space Domain."

"But how could a mere Earth Immortal get involved?" Jin Mo shook his head. "Even the noble Star Monarchs generally wouldn't get involved in such major events."

Wu Yuan and Zi You were equally puzzled.

In the end, they could only attribute it to Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, being unlucky enough to be chosen.

"Forget it."

"The time-space mission requires us to kill him," Wu Yuan transmitted lightly. "So let's kill him. Besides, his actions deserve it."

"Yeah, he deserves it," Zi You agreed.

"If it's due to battle repercussions, that's one thing, but to slaughter countless weak without reason? If everyone did that, it would lead to chaos. Stronger individuals should restrain their inner desires, rather than acting recklessly," Wu Yuan murmured silently.

This is also the principle of most major forces in the world.

Like the Eternal Sun Immortal Realm, the Azure Peak Shaman Realm, they are all like this.

Although they encourage life and death competition, battles among the strong, they have a certain protection for low-level cultivators and even mortals, and won't allow powerful cultivators to slaughter wantonly.

Of course, the stronger one is, the more tolerant the major forces are. But even a Star Lord, if they slaughter too much, like directly destroying a major continent of an immortal land, they would be killed as well.

There is a bottom line for different levels of cultivators, which cannot be crossed.

In Wu Yuan's heart, there is also a line.

"Mingjian, can you be sure to kill Yin Yan directly after one day?" Jin Mo transmitted.

"Killing him isn't difficult," Wu Yuan said. "But he has activated a double-layered formation restriction, and the boundary has condensed the void, making it difficult for me to penetrate directly."

"It doesn't matter much," Zi You transmitted. "When the time comes, we'll directly destroy the formation with strong force. An elite-level mission, how hard could it be?"

"Kill him directly," Zi You said. "I don't believe he can withstand it."

"Yeah."

"Elite-level missions, like the one just now, are dangerous enough, so it should be like this," Jin Mo also said.

The three of them communicated for a while and then each began to meditate.

Can a mere Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, really turn the tables?

... "Something's not right. Both Jin Mo and Zi You said they only have elite-level missions?" Wu Yuan was pondering. "From just now until now, the twelve hunters, for them, can indeed be considered elite-level missions."

Ordinary tasks are generally manageable.

Elite-level missions have a certain level of danger, but usually they are not too difficult. There's a fifty percent chance of passing, after all, you can't let a large number of imprinters become too desperate.

"However, with my strength, opposing a group of ordinary imprinters should be a Lord-level mission?" Wu Yuan had a hint of doubt in his heart.

In theory.

His Lord-level mission would be easier than other imprinters', but as Star Moon said, even if it's easier, there's still a bottom line.

"There's still half a day left, I have to be careful." Wu Yuan was quite vigilant in his heart, his spiritual sense spreading into space.

Carefully sensing all directions, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Better safe than sorry.

...

When Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and Zi You were meditating quietly.

Just waiting for the protection time to pass and then they would act against Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal.

In a mysterious divine realm.

Inside a hall.

"They're not willing to leave either? They said they want to protect you for three days?" the white-robed elder-like Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, said respectfully, "I'm at a critical moment in refining the pills. I suspect they have other intentions... I ask for Immortal's guidance."

He was anxious.

"Don't worry, most likely, these imprinters are just simple protection missions." The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao looked down at Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal. "Since they said three days, even if they want to take action, they won't do it immediately."

"I'm on my way here, expecting to arrive in six hours. You just focus on refining the pills."

"You must remember."

"What I handed over to you is the essence of life stars, which I carefully selected after hundreds of years of hard work." The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao's eyes were slightly cold. "Just now, I avoided various inspections. Don't mess it up for me."

"The subordinate dare not," Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal, said repeatedly, seeming somewhat frightened.

Naturally, he understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Alright, go ahead." The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao waved his hand, and Yin Yan, the Earth Immortal's figure instantly turned into countless streams of light and dispersed.

Hum~

Not far away, a huge projection was appearing, showing the scene where Wu Yuan, Jin Mo, and the twelve hunters were fighting.

"They can all unleash Immortal strength."

"These two can unleash the strength of a Second Tribulation Immortal... and this one." The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao stared at the white-robed figure drifting in the light curtain, with a celestial air about him.

"High-dimensional sword?"

"He can directly sweep through a group of First Tribulation Immortals and suppress that Warhammer Beast. I estimate he has the strength of a Fourth Tribulation Immortal." He pondered silently.

Immortals are divided into six tribulations in terms of strength.

Each tribulation represents not only a difference in mana, but also a huge gap in the comprehension of the Dao.

Therefore, the gap in strength between Immortals is very large.

"A Earth Immortal who can unleash the strength of a Fourth Tribulation Immortal, his comprehension of the Dao may rival that of a Celestial Immortal, and his understanding of space is extremely profound..." The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao originally didn't pay much attention, but now he felt it was somewhat tricky.

If it were a normal Fourth Tribulation Immortal, he wouldn't care at all, he could just fight and kill them. 

But, a Earth Immortal who can unleash the comprehension of a Celestial Immortal level.

Surely, he is the most outstanding genius.

And as a member of the Time-Space Island, he must have a Law Avatar. If a great enmity is formed, there may be endless troubles.

Once the opponent becomes an Immortal, he's afraid that he will become a Sixth Tribulation Immortal or a Seventh Tribulation Immortal in a very short time.

Then come back for revenge?

"I hope they will be sensible."

The Heavenly Immortal Zhuo Hao pondered silently, "I don't want to be an enemy, but don't force me. Entering the Black Demon Blood Cave, this batch of pills is crucial."

"If it doesn't work out, it will delay for at least thousands of years."

His lifespan is not much, less than a hundred thousand years.

And entering the Black Demon Blood Cave is just the first step.

After that, he has to find opportunities inside, even break through to the Celestial Immortal level, which will take a lot of time.

So, time is very precious to him, and he can't afford to delay.

...

As time passed, almost half a day had passed in the blink of an eye, and Wu Yuan's originally vigilant heart gradually relaxed.

"Only three hours left until the task is completed," Zi You smiled.

"This time-space task is quite easy," Jin Mo also said, they both seemed quite relaxed.

Suddenly.

"An Immortal is coming." Wu Yuan's voice sounded in their minds, instantly shocking Jin Mo and Zi You.

An Immortal?

"What strength is he likely to have?" Jin Mo asked immediately.

"It should be at the peak of Immortal, not clear about the specifics, but just one," Wu Yuan's voice was very calm.

But it surprised both Jin Mo and Zi You.

First to Third Tribulation are the ordinary levels among Immortals; while Fourth to Sixth Tribulation strength is considered peak level.

It can be said that in terms of comprehension of the Dao, Jin Mo and Zi You are comparable to Fifth Tribulation Immortals.

But their cultivation time is not long, they are still at the level of Earth Immortal, so they can only unleash the strength of Second Tribulation Immortal.

A peak Immortal is a formidable threat to their lives.

"Don't be hasty, let's see how things unfold," Wu Yuan transmitted his voice, "Maybe it's just passing by."

Wu Yuan was currently observing from the perspective of high-dimensional space, the white-robed figure was swiftly approaching at an astonishing speed, covering tens of thousands of miles in just a second.

The powerful aura and the invisible pressure made Wu Yuan alert.

"Just passing by?"

However, Jin Mo and Zi You felt that the possibility was very low. How vast is the entire galaxy? There are billions of stars scattered across, and it's normal for different stars to be separated by tens of billions of miles or even light-years.

And cultivators with the strength of a peak Immortal are usually only a few hundred in a galaxy.

It's very rare to encounter them in a small part of the starry sky!

Soon.

"Boom!" An extremely powerful spiritual wave rolled over, sweeping through the entire void in an instant, even crushing the entire star.

"Pong~"

"Pong~" Like giant waves crashing against rocks, Jin Mo and Zi You's faces changed slightly. Even though they had treasures to protect their souls, they were ultimately only Law Avatars, and the souls contained within were limited. Moreover, there was a huge gap in their levels, and they seemed to be greatly affected.

"Boom!"

But only to see a majestic and endless spiritual aura suddenly burst forth, like a warship breaking through endless waves in the sea, surging upwards, directly splitting the overpowering spiritual attack from the Immortal in half.

And even counterattacked.

It was precisely the Soul Technique "Soul Impact" that Wu Yuan cultivated!

With a short period of cultivation time, Wu Yuan didn't have the energy to cultivate too many soul techniques, but he had been persistently practicing the "Soul Impact," "Soul Annihilation Needle," and "Sword Soul Origin Light" that he had cultivated earliest.

And he had achieved some success with them.

Rumbling~ The invisible soul clash instantly unfolded in the 'Realm of Fate,' surging and majestic.

It didn't affect the material level.

But such a terrifying clash of souls made Jin Mo, Zi You, and the Earth Immortal Yin Yan, who was refining pills, instantly aware of it.

One after another, they revealed expressions of astonishment.

In the end.

Rumbling~ The overpowering spiritual sense quickly converged, and Wu Yuan also quickly withdrew his outward spiritual sense, gathering it into himself.

"Prepare for battle, the coming is not friendly," Wu Yuan opened his eyes.

"Won?"

"Soul confrontation, not at a disadvantage?" Jin Mo and Zi You looked at each other, secretly amazed, looking at Wu Yuan.

How strong of a soul does he have? How profound are his soul techniques?

But Wu Yuan was calm. The soul clash just now couldn't be said to have gained the upper hand, only that it was evenly matched.

"The one who came is just an Immortal Law Avatar," Wu Yuan thought to himself, "And my Law Avatar's soul is stronger than the normal Ninth Layer Earth Immortal's main body soul."

The soul contained in an Immortal Law Avatar is only a small part of the main body, with limited power.

...Millions of miles away from Yin Yan's base star.

"Such a strong soul." The white-robed old man stood in the void, with flames surrounding him for thousands of miles around him.

Condensing space! To avoid encountering a surprise attack from Wu Yuan.
