Chapter 404 Rules of the Dao Realm, What's It to Me (One More Request for Monthly Votes)

In the message left by the Black Demon Pillar, Wu Yuan received a large amount of relevant information, which mentioned the Black Demon Pillar and the Black Demon Star.

The Black Demon Star is a treasure more advanced than the Black Demon Pillar.

"I used to be a bit puzzled. How could a Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal dare to carry such a heavy treasure as the Black Demon Pillar? It turns out he possessed the Black Demon Star." Wu Yuan understood.

Originally, he only wanted to kill Zhuo Hao Immortal to eliminate the hidden danger.

Now.

There was only one thought in Wu Yuan's mind—seize the Black Demon Star, then use the power of the Origin (Blood Mist) to eliminate the treasures left by the Black Demon Sovereign on it, perhaps revealing deeper mysteries of the Black Tower.

Because!

The moment the Black Demon Star appeared, the Black Tower in Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Avatar's Dantian Palace began to tremble slightly again.

In the midst of life and death.

Although Wu Yuan had many thoughts, his methods of killing were without hesitation.

"Boom!" The nine immortal swords whistled, intertwining sword qi, subtly distorting space and changing the flow of time, like a series of hazy sword shadows, slashing towards Zhuo Hao Immortal.

"No matter how talented you are, you're just an Earth Immortal. I don't believe you can defeat me." Zhuo Hao Immortal roared through voice transmission. "Die."

Boom!

Zhuo Hao Immortal suddenly waved his hand.

With his soaring life force, seven enormous and incomparably large spirit cauldrons appeared in front of him, each burning with layers of flames, emitting an extremely powerful aura.

All of them were low-grade immortal treasures.

But they were obviously much stronger than normal low-grade immortal treasures.

"My own life treasure? Evolved through the ordinary evolution route?" Wu Yuan suddenly understood. Let alone walking the perfect evolution route like himself, even if it was the medium-grade evolution route, it was not something ordinary celestial immortals could achieve to elevate their life flying swords to the level of low-grade immortal treasures.

At the same time.

More than ten similarly burning flame miniature stars appeared, all of them at the level of low-grade immortal treasures.

Over twenty low-grade immortal treasures.

All infused with Zhuo Hao Immortal's law power comparable to that of a Celestial Immortal, instantly causing the power of these low-grade immortal treasures to skyrocket, reaching a terrifying level, causing even the stable space to faintly tremble.

"Such strong power." Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he had played with many Celestial Immortals by mastering both time and space, he had never truly faced them head-on.

In the past, he was indeed inferior.

"Haozhuo." The Purple Robed Immortal who had just escaped from Wu Yuan's hands and had just condensed his body looked at Wu Yuan with incomparable astonishment.

"What treasure is that?"

"I don't know."

"Such a terrifying aura, does this celestial immortal have the power of a Celestial Immortal?" Many observing celestial immortals were secretly shocked.

Normally, among tens of thousands of celestial immortals, it was difficult to find one who could unleash the power of a Celestial Immortal.

Even among the celestial immortals who ventured into the Snow Light Mist Realm, most of them were elite celestial immortals, averaging over a thousand celestial immortals and celestial gods, before one could unleash the power of a Celestial Immortal.

"It's the Black Demon Star... Definitely!"

"The Black Demon Star has appeared here?" The Black Armor Six Tribulations Celestial Immortal, who had just escaped far away while wielding his spear technique, was both shocked and delighted.

He, hailing from one of the top forces in the Dao Realm, had a very high level of knowledge and insight, and knew a thing or two about the Black Demon Star.

Without hesitation, the Black Armor Celestial began to transmit requests for assistance.

"Senior Uncle, the Black Demon Star has appeared here, located in the Wan Mountain Icefield, and the space coordinates are..."

...Various celestial immortals and celestial gods were shocked by the successive outbreaks of Wu Yuan and Zhuo Hao Immortal.

Many celestial immortals and celestial gods chose to flee because the level of combat in front of them was too high.

The slightest involvement could lead to their downfall.

At this moment.

"Boom!" Seven immortal cauldrons and fourteen flame stars had already converged to form a terrifying figure towering tens of thousands of feet high, with an immeasurable length like a winding dragon, bearing nine claws on its abdomen, enveloping Zhuo Hao Immortal.

Boom! The Nine-Clawed Dragon emerged, its entire body burning with flames, as if the heavens and the earth had turned into flames, emitting an ancient and fierce aura.

"Form your battle formation."

"So powerful." Many celestial immortals and gods were shocked. Such strength would definitely crush them.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Almost at the moment the Nine-Clawed Dragon formed, the Sword Domain condensed by the nine great immortal swords also bombarded overwhelmingly, with boundless sword intent and sword radiance enveloping everything.

"Pong!" "Pong!"

The Nine-Clawed Dragon roared, and the burning flame's power was extremely strong. Its claws howled, knocking away the immortal swords one after another.

Each collision made the heavens and the earth tremble.

At the same time, the Nine-Clawed Dragon also attempted to swing its tail, tearing through the void, intending to chase after Wu Yuan.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With each collision in the battle, the mysteries revealed by the Nine-Clawed Dragon were still a bit inferior to those of a Celestial Immortal, but its overwhelming power definitely gave it the combat power of a Celestial Immortal.

While Wu Yuan's immortal swords, each sword only reached the threshold of the first stage of a Celestial Immortal.

But they had the advantage in quantity!

They also had the advantage of the Sword Domain's restraint and suppression.

Moreover, Wu Yuan could easily evade the Nine-Clawed Dragon's attacks by casting "Moonlight Shadow," creating blurry illusions.

Naturally, this battle was evenly matched.

"My mana is still too weak. If I had the Origin Pillar with me, my mana would surge, and one sword would be enough to break his dragon." Wu Yuan felt troubled.

Over these years, he had made significant progress in the laws of time and space.

For example, in comprehending the "Space-Time Nine Swords," although it was still the first sword, it was much stronger than before. The mysteries of sword techniques he could deploy were already very powerful, comparable to many powerful Celestial Immortals.

As for treasures, with nine immortal swords in hand, he wasn't much inferior to Zhuo Hao Immortal.

It was only his mana.

It could be said that if it weren't for relying on special time and space techniques and his profound body techniques, Wu Yuan now would probably have to flee.

"The power of the Black Demon Star is indeed much stronger, but the most important thing is that he's using his main body this time." Wu Yuan silently pondered.

If Zhuo Hao Immortal weren't using his main body, how could he have such battle power?

The key difference between the main body and the avatar lay in the divine soul and the life treasure. If it were the avatar, it wouldn't be possible to control so many low-grade immortal treasures.

"Delay!"

"He activated the Black Demon Star, and his combat power is overwhelming, but it can't last forever." Wu Yuan understood this clearly.

..."They're both so terrifying!"

"Well, a Space-Time Earth Immortal can truly unleash the power of a Celestial Immortal."

"That celestial immortal actually has such formidable strength? It wasn't revealed at all before." Many celestial immortals and gods marveled and sighed.

Both sides were beyond their capabilities to provoke.

"Huh? Something's wrong. How did the Nine-Clawed Dragon escape?"

"Holding the upper hand but retreating?" Most celestial immortals and gods were bewildered.

...Zhuo Hao Immortal, controlling the Nine-Clawed Dragon formed by many treasures, repeatedly blocked Wu Yuan's attacks and attempted to counterattack.

At first glance, he had the upper hand.

But he couldn't do anything to Wu Yuan. Even if he fled frantically, he couldn't shake off Wu Yuan's pursuit and was still engaged in close combat.

Unlike Wu Yuan.

Zhuo Hao Immortal's activation of the Black Demon Star required a large number of Black Demon Pills, and the number of divine pills he possessed was limited.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The heavens and the earth shook, and several million-mile-high icebergs were affected by their clashes.

Fortunately, the environment of the Wan Mountain Icefield was special enough to withstand it.

Suddenly.

Zhuo Hao Immortal, who had been overwhelmingly powerful, suddenly declined in life force, and the speed and strength of the Nine-Clawed Dragon also sharply declined. Staggering, it almost fell to the ground.

Just then.

"Thousand Sword Formation!" Wu Yuan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally seized the moment.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Countless top-grade spiritual treasures flying swords appeared overwhelmingly, totaling seven hundred and twenty blades.

Each flying sword emanated unpredictable Dao patterns.

Mana infusion.

"Boom!" Nine immortal swords, seven hundred and twenty top-grade spiritual treasure flying swords almost instantly converged into one.

In the void, a terrifying sword aura appeared, completely transparent, as if merging with space.

This was Wu Yuan's strongest move after his divine soul breakthrough — the Thousand Sword Formation.

However, using numerous immortal swords and top-grade spiritual treasures to form the sword formation required extremely high divine soul requirements and consumed immense mana.

So, Wu Yuan wouldn't use it until the crucial moment.

"The first sword of the Space-Time Nine Swords — the Sword of Space-Time." With a thought, Wu Yuan activated this terrifying divine sword.

"Swoosh!"

As if the heavens and earth were tearing apart, a strange sword light appeared, sweeping through the void and directly severing two of the Nine-Clawed Dragon's resisting claws.

Then, amidst the despairing and unwilling roar of the Nine-Clawed Dragon, it pierced an inconspicuous scale on its abdomen.

"Tear!"

The dragon's body was pierced through in an instant, and then, like dominoes, countless resentful energies of heaven and earth dissipated from its body.

The entire dragon completely disintegrated.

"No!"

"This can't be." Zhuo Hao Immortal looked at Wu Yuan in horror from afar.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Even if he pushed the Black Demon Star to its limit, theoretically, it should take a long time for Wu Yuan to break through his Nine-Clawed Dragon.

How could it be so easy? A single sword broke through?

Zhuo Hao Immortal didn't know that in a normal battle, it would indeed take that long, but he was facing Wu Yuan.

In terms of comprehension of the Dao, Wu Yuan far surpassed him, and his swordsmanship was superior.

In the exchanges just now, Wu Yuan had been using the Sword Domain and flying sword perception to find the flaws in the Nine-Clawed Dragon.

Strike when necessary, and strike to kill!

"Perish." Wu Yuan's eyes were cold as he traversed through the void, creating illusions that were indistinguishable from reality.

Boom!

The divine sword pierced through the Nine-Clawed Dragon, leaving a strange trace in the void, and then struck Zhuo Hao Immortal once again.

Although Zhuo Hao Immortal was still desperately fleeing.

But without the support of the Black Demon Star, he was just a Sixth-Stage Immortal, and the gap in strength compared to a true Celestial Immortal was enormous.

How could he escape?

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" The divine sword swept through, sweeping away a series of treasures Zhuo Hao Immortal had used, causing distortions in space and fluctuations in the flow of time.

"Chi!" The sword light pierced through Zhuo Hao Immortal's body, instantly causing his body to collapse, and even his primordial spirit was completely annihilated.

Zhuo Hao Immortal, dead.

Leaving behind a large pile of treasures, floating in place, their auras rapidly diminishing.

Apart from that pile of immortal and storage treasures.

There was also that black sphere emitting a majestic and eerie aura — the Black Demon Star.

This scene.

Made the various celestial immortals and gods standing on distant icebergs sigh.

A powerful immortal comparable to a Celestial Immortal fell just like that?

However, they dared not approach.

With Zhuo Hao Immortal dead, what remained was the even more powerful Wu Yuan.

"The Black Demon Star."

"Exactly." Wu Yuan took a step, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, and quickly arrived at the spot where Zhuo Hao Immortal died.

Whoosh! The time-space divine sword that had condensed quickly dissipated, turning into countless flying swords.

Surrounding Wu Yuan.

Suddenly.

"Space-time Celestial Immortal, please put down the Black Demon Star! This is a forbidden item, none of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm allow its use. It should be taken back by me." A deep voice suddenly sounded from tens of millions of miles away, echoing everywhere in the world.

This voice spread through the fluctuations of the Dao, naturally at extreme speed.

Echoing throughout the world.

Immediately, many celestial immortals and gods turned to look, then were somewhat surprised. They saw a figure with an extremely majestic aura rushing at lightning speed.

Celestial Immortal!

And a quite powerful one at that.

"What is the Black Demon Star? I don't know. How can I be sure you're not deceiving me? All I know is that this is my spoils of war and naturally belongs to me." Wu Yuan's voice also resounded throughout the world. "Even if what you say is true, it's just a rule of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm. What does it have to do with me? I am a member of the Space-Time Island."

As he spoke.

Wu Yuan waved his hand and collected all the floating treasures, including the Black Demon Star.

Then —

Boom! Wu Yuan turned into a stream of light and fled into the distance like lightning.

Also soaring to the speed of light.

He had no intention of confronting a powerful Celestial Immortal head-on.

"Space-time Celestial Immortal, when you roam in the Dao Realm, you must abide by its rules." An angry roar sounded.

Immediately after!

"Hum~" A tremendously powerful divine soul fluctuation had already swept over at high speed.

Chapter 405 Astonishing Harvest (Second Update for Monthly Votes)

The attack of the divine soul traverses along the virtual realm of fate, representing the aspect of emptiness.

To understand its speed of attack in any spatial dimension, it is -- a speed of ten thousand times the speed of light!

In simple terms, unless it exceeds the opponent's range of real reflection in the virtual realm or is unable to perceive it, almost no one can escape.

"Boom!" This powerful divine soul attack, spanning millions of miles, almost killed instantaneously, causing Wu Yuan's divine soul to resonate faintly.

"Hum~"

Above the origin of Wu Yuan's body and divine soul, there was a purple jade disc hovering. It suddenly radiated brightly, combining with the powerful divine soul, erupting with full force to resist this divine soul attack.

The purple jade disc is a lower-grade immortal weapon guarding the divine soul.

It was brought out by Wu Yuan after his divine soul transformed and his body came to explore.

"Hum~" This divine soul attack continued endlessly, but Wu Yuan's defense against divine soul attacks became even stronger, blocking it.

It all ended.

"What a powerful divine soul attack. Such an attack, I'm afraid only a Star Lord-level powerhouse can achieve it." Although Wu Yuan blocked it, he was still amazed. "This celestial being? A Star Lord? And it came specifically to annihilate my divine soul."

Directly annihilating an enemy's divine soul is extremely difficult.

As fellow bodies of the law, celestial beings find it extremely difficult to directly annihilate a celestial being's divine soul. Usually, they must excel in divine soul attacks to do so.

Of course, if it's just disrupting the opponent or causing temporary dizziness to the divine soul, it's much easier.

"Which celestial being is this? I don't recognize them." Wu Yuan sensed the opponent's life aura and remembered it.

He had not encountered them before.

Although he had been exploring the Snowlight Mist Realm all along, in just a few hundred years, Wu Yuan hadn't encountered many celestial beings. He was not a core member of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm, so he couldn't obtain information about some of the powerful individuals from various factions in the Dao Realm.

"Haha, I'll remember this grudge today, and I'll repay it in the future." Wu Yuan's voice echoed loudly between heaven and earth.

"Escape!"

Wu Yuan's speed was unaffected at all.

At the same time, the surrounding flow of time changed, quickly skyrocketing to four times the speed of light.

He could rush out millions of miles in a second, fleeing like lightning.

Wu Yuan had no intention of fighting to the death.

Without the Origin Pillar to engage in direct combat, Wu Yuan was barely at the level of a First-Order Celestial Being. Facing a powerful celestial being head-on would be asking for trouble.

Moreover.

Having just acquired the Black Demon Star, for Wu Yuan, ensuring its safe return was paramount.

...Hearing Wu Yuan's voice and seeing him flee immediately afterward.

In the void.

The white-robed celestial being who had just descended from an iceberg had a hint of astonishment in his eyes. "He completely blocked it? Without any effect?"

He, as a Sixth-Order Celestial Being, didn't have terrifying means of direct combat, but he was proficient in divine soul attacks.

The move just now was his full effort.

Normally, any divine soul below a Fourth-Order Celestial Being would be instantly annihilated.

In his view, although the talent of the Space-Time Earth Immortal was incredible, he was ultimately just an Earth Immortal. His own divine soul probably only matched that of a Celestial Being at most.

Even if the body had a lower-grade immortal guarding it and couldn't die, theoretically, it would still be greatly affected.

Speed would sharply decrease.

"Could it be that he has a middle-grade immortal guarding his divine soul?" There was a glint of greed in the eyes of the white-robed celestial being.

Lower-grade immortal artifacts generally ranged in value from a few thousand to tens of thousands of divine crystals, usually used by Celestial Beings and ordinary immortals.

Middle-grade immortal artifacts, even the most common ones, were worth hundreds of thousands of divine crystals, with the most expensive ones costing tens of millions of divine crystals, most of which were affordable only to Star Lords.

Value varies according to usage.

Purely material attacks like flying swords and battle blades are the cheapest, while special immortal artifacts capable of divine soul attacks or manipulating space-time are the most expensive.

An immortal artifact for divine soul defense? Although not the most expensive category, it is still extremely precious.

"A middle-grade immortal artifact for divine soul defense is worth at least several million divine crystals." A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the white-robed celestial being.

He ventured through long years, and his entire wealth only approached nearly ten million divine crystals.

However, he didn't know that Wu Yuan's divine soul was comparable to a celestial being's, and his body's divine soul was also extremely powerful. Although he only had a lower-grade immortal artifact for divine soul defense, he could still withstand his divine soul attacks.

Swoosh!

Swoosh! One chasing and one fleeing, they quickly escaped the sight of these upper celestial beings.

No one dared to risk chasing them for observation.

But the environment of the Thousand Mountains Icefield was harsh, with towering mountains everywhere.

The white-robed celestial being pursued with all his might, even at the cost of using a powerful secret technique, but still couldn't catch up to Wu Yuan.

They were getting farther and farther apart.

Finally, Wu Yuan suddenly plunged into a crevice in the ice, using the special environment of the Thousand Mountains Icefield to block his divine soul probing.

Losing his target.

The white-robed celestial being had to give up reluctantly, angrily striking the ground with a blow, creating a large pit.

"Truly with great background and wealth!"

"A Earth Immortal's body, daring to carry a middle-grade immortal artifact for divine soul defense?" The white-robed celestial being hovered in the ice, still somewhat unwilling. "And he just obtained the Black Demon Star."

The Black Demon Star is even more precious, its value is so high that it cannot be simply calculated in divine crystals.

"If I could seize it."

"I could completely offer it to the Star Lord. By then, with the Star Lord's help, my hope of passing through the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation and becoming a Star Lord would greatly increase, and I would also have eternal life..." The white-robed celestial being's heart was full of unwillingness.

A great opportunity.

Lost like this.

Not long after.

Swoosh! A black-armored figure flew over from not far away at a speed of three to four hundred thousand miles per second.

It was the Sixth-Order Upper God in black armor who had previously fought with Senior Immortal Zhuo Hao, and he was the one who had sent the message to the white-robed celestial being.

"Senior Uncle." The black-armored Upper God saluted respectfully. "Was the mission successful?"

"No, we didn't catch him." The white-robed celestial being shook his head, not getting angry.

He knew the strength of the black-armored Upper God and had a good chance of passing through the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation to become a Heavenly God, so he naturally wanted to give him some face.

"Escaped?" The black-armored Upper God was astonished.

"Yes." The white-robed celestial being didn't explain much further.

"Senior Uncle, could we be subject to retaliation from the Space-Time Earth Immortal?" The black-armored Upper God couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"What's there to fear?"

"He's a member of the Space-Time Island and will eventually leave our Dao Realm. Even if he becomes powerful in the future, what can outside powerhouses do, even if they're monarchs? They can't enter our Dao Realm, so why worry?" The white-robed celestial being shook his head and sneered, "Moreover, if anyone holds a grudge, it would be against me."

"He doesn't even know it was you who delivered the message," the white-robed celestial being added.

Only then did the black-armored Upper God feel relieved.

"Did you manage to seize any treasures?" the white-robed celestial being asked.

"Yes, I got it." The black-armored Upper God nodded.

"Continue to venture forth. Since you've done well in delivering the message this time, I'll give you a thousand divine crystals as a reward. I've already transferred them to you," the white-robed celestial being said. "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

With that said.

Swoosh! The white-robed celestial being's figure moved, quickly flying toward the depths of the ice crevice. He was still unwilling and wanted to search a bit more.

"See you off, Senior Uncle," the black-armored Upper God said respectfully, but he was secretly delighted.

One thousand divine crystals?

Although he had strength close to that of a celestial being, this was still a small fortune, just for delivering a message.

...

In a crevice in the ice billions of miles away.

Swoosh!

All the way, Wu Yuan didn't dare to relax in the slightest. He frantically fled until he confirmed that he had completely shaken off the other party before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Succeeded!"

"Haha, struck it rich." But Wu Yuan's heart was filled with immense joy and excitement. He had just investigated many treasures left by Senior Immortal Zhuo Hao.

Other immortal artifacts, spiritual treasures, and some miscellaneous treasures were worth tens of thousands of divine crystals in total.

The key was the Black Demon Star!

Wu Yuan discovered it only upon investigating.

Inside the Black Demon Star, there were a whopping eleven black demon pillars.

Moreover, these black demon pillars seemed to be part of the Black Demon Star. Even if taken away, they wouldn't affect the use of the Black Demon Star.

What a huge gain!

"From the information I obtained, I only knew that the black demon pillars were inferior to the Black Demon Star. It turns out they are part of the Black Demon Star." Wu Yuan was excited. "With the additional original one, there are now twelve divine demon pillars."

"As long as I send them back, cleanse them with the power of the origin, restore their original state, and infuse them with the power of the origin."

"By then, even as a body, I can carry the original divine pillars outside to venture and fight." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Why didn't he dare to bring the divine pillars before?

It was because there was only one original divine pillar. If the body ventured and fell, losing it, then there would be no way to go to the Black Demon Blood Cave.

"Let's go."

"Back to the Space-Time Island." Wu Yuan couldn't wait for his body to send the Black Demon Star back.

There was no more intention to explore.

...

The Hundred Profound Palace, as one of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm with a monarch presiding over it, occupies a very vast area in the Dao Realm's Space-Time Immortal Realm.

Space-Time Immortal Realm.

In a special dimension subordinate to the Hundred Profound Palace, today, a figure in white robes appeared out of nowhere. After numerous notifications, he arrived at a towering hall.

"See the Star Lord!"

The figure in white robes stood in the magnificent temple, bowing respectfully.

"Jing Hu, you said there's something important to report to me? What is it?" A black-armored figure sat on the throne at the end of the temple, with a majestic aura, and a surging pressure swept over.

Even in the Space-Time Immortal Realm, the pressure possessed by the Star Lord was extremely powerful.

There was a hint of calmness in the eyes of the Black Armored Star Lord.

As a Star Lord, he ruled over vast territories, with tens of thousands of celestial beings under his command. Only the Star Lord, who possessed eternal life, would be somewhat valued by him.

As for ordinary celestial beings? With a lifespan of only tens of millions of years, as batches of them died off over the long years, he didn't really care much. Under normal circumstances, it was hard to see him.

Of course.

As for Jing Hu, who was close to the level of the Star Lord (seventh-level celestial being) and claimed to have important matters, he naturally didn't mind meeting him.

But if he was caught deceiving, he would also be severely punished.

"Star Lord, I found the trace of my Black Demon Star." Jing Hu, the celestial being, spoke in a row.

"Black Demon Star?" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Black Armored Star Lord. "Is it true or false?"

"It's absolutely true, right in the Snowlight Mist Realm." Jing Hu, the celestial being, continued, "This is the battle image."

Immediately, he waved his hand, and the entire process of Wu Yuan and Senior Immortal Zhuo Hao's confrontation projection appeared.

The projection ended.

Jing Hu, the celestial being, quickly recounted the process.

"Space-Time Earth Immortal? Member of the Space-Time Island?" The Black Armored Star Lord muttered to himself, seemingly pondering.

The hall fell silent.

Jing Hu, the celestial being, felt anxious and respectfully waited. After failing to find anything in another search attempt, he immediately decided to report.

The Black Demon Star was very important!

In the established rules of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm, it is indeed a forbidden item.

No strong individuals are allowed to use it casually.

Jing Hu, the celestial being, understood that catching Wu Yuan couldn't be achieved by his own strength alone.

But he didn't know.

Their own Star Lord had already sent a thought and arrived at an extremely special dimension within the Space-Time Immortal Realm.

... This place was filled with purple flames that seemed to be a world of fire.

"Great Sovereign." The Black Armored Star Lord appeared and bowed respectfully.

"Ya Hei, what's the matter?"

A cold voice sounded from the endless purple flames, accompanied by a vague figure, faintly condensing between heaven and earth, oppressing the Black Armored Star Lord.

But the face couldn't be seen clearly.

"Member of the Space-Time Island, 'Space-Time Earth Immortal'... His body is carrying the Black Demon Star and fleeing." The Black Armored Star Lord respectfully said, "With his talent, he is probably the most valued genius of the Space-Time Island. The Sect Master may even pay attention to him."

"If he wants to go to the Black Demon Blood Cave, he will definitely go there in person. If my Hundred Profound Palace wants to capture him with all its strength, it may endanger lives."

"What should we do?"

"I hope the Sovereign will give instructions." The Black Armored Star Lord respectfully said.

"Is this such a trivial matter?"

A cold voice sounded from the endless purple flames. "Remember, you must not trespass into the Space-Time Island. But outside the Space-Time Island, no one will care, and all means can be used."

"If you want the Black Demon Star, then do it yourself."

"Even if the Sect Master values him, if you really kill him, he won't blame you, only blame himself for not being able to withstand the trials and being inferior to others."

"Moreover."

"You should know that if someone the Sect Master truly values dies, they can reverse the flow of time and resurrect."

"Go!"

"Don't bother me with these trivial matters anymore." There was a hint of anger in the cold voice.

Boom!

Like the heavens and earth cracking apart, this wisp of consciousness from Ya Hei Star Lord was instantly blasted out of this immortal realm plane.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 406: Wanted, Heaven's Net (Second Update Requesting Monthly Votes)

In that grand temple, Jing Hu, the celestial being, was anxiously waiting.

Suddenly.

"Jing Hu, you have achieved great merit this time, well done. Remember, this information must not be leaked," the Ya Hei Star Lord standing at the end of the temple suddenly spoke, "I will reward you with a million divine crystals."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Jing Hu, the celestial being, respectfully said.

He was quite pleased.

A million divine crystals? For the Star Lord, this amount of money was nothing, but for him, a celestial being who wasn't even a Star Master, it was a considerable fortune.

Of course, he also felt a bit disappointed.

Just one piece of information was worth so many divine crystals. What if he had been able to seize the Black Demon Star earlier?

"In addition, I will issue a reward message to all the strong celestial beings under my command, fourth rank or higher," the Ya Hei Star Lord said indifferently, "As long as they can provide the whereabouts of the Space-Time Earth Immortal once, they will be rewarded with a hundred thousand divine crystals."

"If they can capture the Space-Time Earth Immortal and present the Black Demon Star to me."

"Then, I will reward them with a billion divine crystals! And receive my promise."

"So, Jing Hu, you can continue to investigate. As long as you find the whereabouts of the Space-Time Earth Immortal, report it immediately. I will reward you. If you get the Black Demon Star, the billion divine crystals will also belong to you." The Ya Hei Star Lord looked down at Jing Hu, the celestial being.

Jing Hu, the celestial being, listened with bated breath.

Providing whereabouts was worth a hundred thousand divine crystals?

Getting the Black Demon Star would earn a billion divine crystals?

Like him, with nearly ten million divine crystals, he was considered relatively wealthy among the Star Lords.

Most Star Lords, except for a few who were proficient in spatial laws, had fortunes ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of divine crystals.

A Star Lord whose entire fortune exceeded a billion divine crystals? Extremely rare!

In short.

Such a huge fortune would be enough to make many strongmen under Ya Hei Star Lord's command excited, even crazy.

They would spare no effort to hunt down Wu Yuan.

"A billion divine crystals?"

Jing Hu, the celestial being, trembled in his heart. "If I had so much wealth and divine crystals, I could completely exchange for many opportunities to comprehend the Dao from the Hundred Profound Palace, and the probability of breaking through to become a Star Lord would increase by at least twenty or thirty percent."

"A billion divine crystals would be enough to make many celestial beings under my command go crazy." The Ya Hei Star Lord looked at Jing Hu, the celestial being, and secretly thought, "It would also be enough to offset the greed brought by the Black Demon Star."

If only rewards of a few tens of millions or hundreds of millions of divine crystals were offered.

It was possible that after those Star Lords seized the Black Demon Star, they would simply run away because the Black Demon Star was worth even more.

Ruling one's subordinates with both kindness and severity.

Obtaining the Black Demon Star indeed qualified strongmen to explore the Black Demon Blood Cave, but it might not necessarily earn them so much wealth.

Divine crystals weren't easy to earn.

For celestial beings (including Star Lords), if their talent wasn't high enough, many secret techniques, opportunities to comprehend the Dao, and treasures had to be obtained with a huge amount of wealth.

And sending one's Avatar to take risks in battle, once the Avatar perished, the value of lost treasures was considerable, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of divine crystals, or even more.

Sometimes, if some precious treasures were lost, they would be difficult to compensate for.

Strongmen fighting each other, some pills, formations, and even weapons and treasures would be consumables, and it would cost a fortune.

Unless they were proficient in spatial laws, Star Lords not only had powerful life-saving abilities but were also stronger in exploration, allowing them to seize wealth.

Otherwise, many celestial beings might wander through long years without earning much, and might even lose more and more.

However, how many Star Lords were proficient in spatial laws?

At least, under the Ya Hei Star Lord's command, there were nearly a thousand Star Lords, but only two were proficient in spatial laws.

"A billion divine crystals?" The Ya Hei Star Lord shook his head slightly again.

This wealth wasn't too much for him.

If it weren't for him not being able to enter the Snow Light Mist Realm, he would have gone to kill by himself.

"If I can get the Black Demon Star, even if it costs billions of divine crystals, it's worth it," the Ya Hei Star Lord muttered to himself.

"Jing Hu, go." The Ya Hei Star Lord said, "The relevant orders have been issued."

"Yes."

...

The headquarters of the Bai Xuan Palace, covering an extremely vast area, enveloped multiple-dimensional spaces, including a somewhat inconspicuous palace.

"Hmm?"

"The Star Lord has passed on a message?" A purple-robed figure, whose skin surface was almost transparent, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly checked.

He understood the cause and effect.

"A billion divine crystals? The Star Lord is really generous this time. Such wealth is enough for other Star Lords to make a move once," the purple-robed man's eyes flashed with surprise, "Is it to capture an Earth Immortal?"

He, Gu Shou Star Lord, was a heavenly god, possessing terrifying strength comparable to a Ninth Heaven Celestial Being.

And he was proficient in spatial laws.

In terms of strength and status, he was definitely the top Star Lord, known as the number one Star Lord under the Ya Hei Star Lord's command, no less than the Hao Chi Star Lord who saved the Dragon Star Celestial Being in the past.

But even so.

A billion divine crystals were enough to make him tempted.

"The Black Demon Star? Legend has it that this is a precious treasure scattered in various parts of the Dao Realm before the fall of the Black Demon Sovereign. After countless years, there are probably very few that still exist outside. At least I have only heard of it and have never truly seen it," Gu Shou Star Lord muttered to himself, "Even if I don't present it to the Star Lord."

"If I can get it myself, I can still venture into the Black Demon Blood Cave."

His heart was pounding.

As long as cultivators held the Black Demon Pillar, they could venture into the cave; but for those who had become immortals, they must hold the Black Demon Star to enter.

"Legend has it that the Black Demon Blood Cave contains the secrets of the Black Demon Sovereign, who was the number one sovereign in the Dao Realm." Gu Shou Star Lord pondered, "This might also be an opportunity... to break through to Star Lord."

Although he obeyed the Ya Hei Star Lord's orders.

But he still had the desire to break through to become a Star Lord. It's just that taking this step was too difficult; on average, among thousands of Star Lords, there were barely a few who could break through.

In the stage of Immortal and God, comprehending a middle-grade law was much more difficult than in the stage of Celestial Being and Heavenly God, with a difference in difficulty of tens of thousands of times.

"Go to the Time-Space Immortal Realm." Gu Shou Star Lord's mind moved.

Boom!

His thought instantly descended to a special temple in the Time-Space Immortal Realm. Here, there were already hundreds of powerful existences gathered, the vast majority of which were Celestial Beings, with only a few Heavenly Gods.

"Gu Shou Star Lord has arrived."

"Gu Shou."

"Haha, with Gu Shou here, it's probably rare for us to have a chance." Many Celestial Beings and Heavenly Gods laughed and spoke.

Many Celestial Beings still feared him to some extent.

"Li Wu Star Lord isn't here yet?" Gu Shou Star Lord scanned his gaze and didn't find the trace of his old friend.

The Li Wu Star Lord is another existence under the Ya Hei Star Lord who is proficient in spatial laws.

"Everyone."

"Let's work together and try to capture this little Earth Immortal," Gu Shou Star Lord smiled, "My avatar is about to set off. If anyone is at headquarters, they can join me on the way to the Snow Light Mist Realm."

"Let's go."

"Gu Shou Star Lord, wait for me."

Time passed.

Under the command of the Ya Hei Star Lord, there were tens of thousands of strong celestial beings, but those who reached the fourth level of celestial being and gained his trust were naturally few.

Moreover, not every celestial being's avatar was idle.

In the end, within just an hour, about eight hundred avatars of celestial beings and heavenly gods set off for the Snow Light Mist Realm.

Among them, there were dozens of Star Lord-level strongmen.

"The target last appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field," Jing Hu Tian Xian continued, "It will take at least several days to get out of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field."

"Yes, we will hurry up."

"Haha, I'm already in the Snow Light Mist Realm, so I'll come over." A few celestial beings who were exploring the Snow Light Mist Realm naturally had the advantage.

In their view.

Even if they didn't ultimately seize the Black Demon Star, as long as they provided one or two traces, it was profitable.

Moreover, chasing an Earth Immortal posed no danger.

...

"A bunch of fools."

"The Time-Space Immortal? Is it so easy to provoke a Earth Immortal who can comprehend the laws of time?" In a seemingly insignificant starry sky in the Dao Realm, a celestial being was hiding here.

"The Star Lord can handle it. Even if the Sovereign attacks through causality, it's hard to kill him."

"But what about us?"

He was one of the two Star Lords under the Ya Hei Star Lord who excelled in spatial laws - the Li Wu Star Lord.

After receiving the Ya Hei Star Lord's transmission, he thought for a moment and then found an excuse to refuse.

"He can't even kill this Time-Space Immortal. With his talent, as long as he doesn't die halfway, there's a good chance he'll become a Sovereign in the future, and a Spatial Sovereign at that," Li Wu Star Lord shook his head slightly, "A Sovereign proficient in the laws of time? Even if they can't enter the Dao Realm, how many celestial beings and heavenly gods can withstand an attack through causality?"

In terms of causality attacks, the law of causality was naturally the most terrifying, but it should be noted that the law of causality was based on the laws of time and space.

In terms of rarity, a Sovereign of causality was no less than a Spatial Sovereign.

Therefore, in terms of the strength of causality attacks, a Sovereign proficient in time and space was equally terrifying.

Even if the probability was very low, Li Wu Star Lord didn't want to provoke disaster.

A billion divine crystals?

For him, it was just icing on the cake.

...

In the battle of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field, many Immortals and Gods watched.

And as time passed, news spread one after another.

However, most of these Immortals and Gods were not at the core of the major forces in the Dao Realm, and since this battle was not as impressive as Wu Yuan's previous exploits, the spread of news was not fast for a while.

And although the Ya Hei Star Lord issued a wanted order, it was only within his own cadre of celestial beings.

So, the matter of the Black Demon Star had not yet been implicated.

In the short term, no other major force Star Lords or even Star Sovereigns had noticed this matter.

Wu Yuan was even more unaware.

...

As time passed day by day, six days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Phew!

In the vast expanse of ice and snow, the cold wind howled, cold enough to cause even the strong to fall in the Refinement Saint Domain.

Crack! One of the ice layers was blasted open, and a figure in a black robe darted out.

"So cold."

"But if I keep going billions of miles ahead, I should be able to leave the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field," Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

These days, he had been moving at full speed.

However, when he was advancing deep into the ice, he unfortunately encountered a heavy formation, which took several days to break free from.

Fortunately, there was no life-threatening danger.

"Let's go." Wu Yuan's figure moved, traversing through the ancient valleys between the ice mountains, advancing on this vast and endless land of ice and snow.

...

A powerful aura in a purple robe was leisurely exploring the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

His divine sense had completely spread through the virtual world.

This approach placed a great burden on his divine soul.

"In the past six days, apart from Jing Hu, I was one of the first few to arrive at the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field. Who made me explore the Snow Light Mist Realm before?" the purple-robed figure muttered to himself, "I just don't know if that Time-Space Immortal is still here."

The Snow Light Mist Realm was too vast.

Just one Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field had a diameter of over tens of billions of miles. Even at the speed of light, it would take several days to cross.

"If he's not here, it will be troublesome to find him," the purple-robed figure muttered.

They were not the only ones searching.

Similarly, many ordinary celestial beings and immortals who had been exploring the Snow Light Mist Realm were also searching for traces of the Time-Space Immortal.

Suddenly...

"Hmm? Is that an Earth Immortal?" The purple-robed figure suddenly sensed a figure tens of millions of miles away, his eyes slightly narrowed, "The attire and flight speed don't match, but an Earth Immortal..."

How many Earth Immortals dared to explore the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field alone?

"Better to kill by mistake than to let go."

Whoosh! The purple-robed figure instantly erupted, soaring to nearly the speed of light, rushing towards the target sensed by his divine sense.

...

Wu Yuan first sensed a powerful divine sense passing by, but didn't pay too much attention to it. He had encountered this situation many times before.

Under normal circumstances.

When exploring the Snow Light Mist Realm, celestial beings of the heavenly rank would not pay attention to Earth Immortals. But he immediately sensed it.

Tens of millions of miles away, that powerful celestial being suddenly moved.

The direction was towards him.

It was like a full-speed explosion.

Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he saw that the celestial being did not slow down at all, and the two sides had already approached within millions of miles.

"Escape!" Wu Yuan immediately changed direction and fled like a stream of light, but he didn't dare to be too fast.

Soon, Wu Yuan realized: "Is he also changing direction?"

"Targeting me? There's no one else between us." Wu Yuan finally confirmed that this celestial being was indeed coming for him.

No more hesitation.

"Boom!"

Wu Yuan erupted with all his strength, directly displaying "Moonlight Shadow," his speed instantly soared to the speed of light, and at the same time, the surrounding time flow began to change.

The deeper the comprehension of the time law, the easier it is to manipulate time.

...

"Hmm? Has he noticed me? This Earth Immortal seems a bit strange," the purple-robed celestial being just noticed Wu Yuan changing direction, and his suspicion increased.

But he hadn't completely confirmed yet.

The next moment.

Wu Yuan, erupted with all his strength, directly soared to the speed of light. This was not his limit. He continued to erupt to twice the speed of light, four times the speed of light... far surpassing the purple-robed celestial being.

Whoosh!

The distance between the two sides quickly closed.

"So fast? The time flow is changing." The purple-robed celestial being was a fifth-level celestial being, and he had some insights: "It's him! Definitely the Time-Space Earth Immortal."

"An Earth Immortal manipulating time and happening to be in the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field, it can't be just a coincidence."

He confirmed in an instant.

This was the target he was looking for.

"Time-Space Earth Immortal, don't run." The purple-robed celestial being no longer concealed himself, directly transmitting his voice: "You can't escape."

Boom!

He directly displayed his secret technique, his speed soared to the level of light, and then slightly surpassed it, chasing at full speed.

But this was his limit.

The speed of light was a limit. Although it would be easier for a magical weapon to break through the speed of light, breaking through the speed of light with the physical body? Extremely difficult.

This was also the incredible aspect of the time law, it didn't change the speed of the object itself, it manipulated the flow of time.

The speed remained the same, but when the time flow increased, it was equivalent to being several times faster.

Boom! Boom!

One fast, one slow, the two sides would be separated by hundreds of thousands of miles every second. In just a moment, Wu Yuan disappeared among the layers of ice mountains.

"Can't catch up."

"I'm not good at speed to begin with. With the terrifying burst speed of this Time-Space Earth Immortal, even a Star Lord might not be able to catch up," the purple-robed celestial being felt helpless and had to stop.

There was no place to exert force.

Even if he knew that he could kill the opponent with one blow in a frontal battle, there was nothing he could do.

Just couldn't catch up.

"However, providing one trace is worth a hundred thousand divine crystals." The purple-robed celestial being immediately sent out the message.

...

"What?"

"The Time-Space Earth Immortal is still in the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field?"

"Good." Under the command of the Cliff Black Star Lord, a large number of celestial beings and star lords who were rushing over became extremely excited and quickly headed towards the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

Many days had passed.

Many celestial beings and star lords had already converged on this side. The strategy they discussed was very simple.

First, block along the route along the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field that can leave the Snow Light Mist Realm.

Second, kill all Earth Immortals encountered!

...

In a crevice in the ice.

"Escaped."

"This celestial being, like a mad dog, can sense me, an Earth Immortal, from such a distance. Is it worth being so crazy?" Wu Yuan shook his head.

He sensed through spatial perception that the other party should be at the level of a fourth or fifth-level celestial being.

Such a strong level.

In a head-on confrontation, one move could kill him.

"It's a pity that the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field can't enter a higher-dimensional space." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "If I could enter the space fragment layer... let alone a fourth or fifth-level celestial being, even a Star Lord (a celestial being of seventh level or above) would have a hard time catching me."

Whoosh!

Wu Yuan didn't dare to be careless. He quickly moved along the layers of ice, confirming that he had completely shaken off his opponent.

Another day passed.

"Hmm? Haimonth, Dongfan, Xiangdao, Nangong... so many people are looking for me at the same time." Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "And they say it's urgent?"

Having been on the Time-Space Island for so many years.

This was the first time such a strange thing had happened.

All these friends sending messages at the same time, there must be something important.

Without hesitation, Wu Yuan's thoughts had already descended into the Time-Space Realm.

... Time-Space Realm, Taiyuan Building.

Inside a hall, very few people came and went, but at this moment, there were already several people waiting in the hall.

"Haimonth, Nangong, Dongfan..." Wu Yuan came here and greeted them one by one.

"Mingjian, have you obtained the Black Demon Star?" Xiangdao didn't beat around the bush. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Yuan was startled.

Seeing Wu Yuan's expression change.

"Mingjian, judging by your appearance, it seems to be true. This news is not only known to us. Now the entire Time-Space Island is spreading it." Nangong Dream said in a low voice, "Even many forces in the Dao Realm have heard about it, and many celestial beings and gods from various major forces are probably already aware."

Wu Yuan's pupils contracted.

What's going on?

"Mingjian, take a look." Zhuo Haimonth waved his hand, and a huge light screen appeared, showing the scene where Wu Yuan and Zhuo Haoshen battled fiercely, and Zhuo Haoshen displayed the Black Demon Star.

Very clear.

The perspective of the projection came from the celestial beings and gods who were watching from the side.

"Mingjian, this happened seven days ago. Originally, many celestial beings and gods in the Time-Space Realm were spreading it." Dongfan continued, "But as you know, you have a great reputation, especially since you erupted with the power of a celestial being with an Earth Immortal cultivation in that battle... so, it attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the Dao Realm."

"Just recently, someone recognized the Black Demon Star."

"The Black Demon Star is a treasure left behind by the Black Demon Sovereign... Involving the treasure of the Black Demon Sovereign is extremely precious."

"In terms of opportunity, it's even more than the Space-Time Corridor." Dongfan said in a low voice, "Now, among the nine major forces in the Dao Realm, many Star Lords have already announced that if someone can offer the Black Demon Star, the highest reward will be thirty billion divine crystals."

"And, it can be basically confirmed that your avatar has not left the Snow Light Mist Realm yet, which means that as long as your avatar is killed, the Black Demon Star can be obtained."

"This news has spread in the Time-Space Realm."

"Even in the entire Time-Space Island." Dongfan said, "We just found out, so we came to look for you as soon as possible."

Wu Yuan's face suddenly changed.

Thirty billion divine crystals?

His avatar had obtained the Black Demon Star, and in these past few days, he had sensed its importance slightly.

If those Star Lords want to venture into the Black Demon Blood Cavern, they must use the Black Demon Star.

But he didn't expect.

These Dao Realm Star Lords are willing to offer thirty billion divine crystals as a reward, it's simply crazy.

Even.

Wu Yuan felt a bit tempted, why not sell the Black Demon Star and get thirty billion divine crystals?

The premise is being able to sell it.

Of course, Wu Yuan understands.

Such a huge reward, seemingly creating enemies, is also a gamble by the Dao Realm Star Lords, betting that they won't be able to harm them in the future.

Even if they become Lords, so what? They can't enter the Dao Realm, so there's nothing they can do.

"Mingjian."

"Now, the news is spreading, and the entire Snow Light Mist Realm is almost going crazy. Countless celestial beings and gods will want to find your whereabouts. Providing your whereabouts will also receive divine crystal rewards." Nangong Dream shook her head, "And those celestial beings and gods will also desperately search for you, trying to kill you and exchange the Black Demon Star for a reward."

"Even, many strong individuals from the nine major forces in the Dao Realm are rushing here to capture you."

"You must escape and return to the Time-Space Island as quickly as possible." Nangong Dream said solemnly.

Wu Yuan nodded lightly.

Why are so many cultivators in the Snow Light Mist Realm? Isn't it for divine crystal wealth?

He is equivalent to a mobile treasure worth tens of billions of divine crystals, the greatest opportunity.

"If it were in the Qingling Great Realm, as a member of the Northern Ghost Clan, would several Star Lords dare to openly issue a warrant for me?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Members of the Time-Space Island seem like geniuses, but outside supporters don't work, and members of the nine major forces in the Dao Realm will not be afraid.

In such matters, the Time-Space Island will not intervene.

Even in the eyes of the highest level of the Time-Space Island, such a reward is probably a kind of tempering for Wu Yuan.

"Alright."

"Thank you, everyone." Wu Yuan smiled and clasped his hands, "After this is over, I will host a feast for everyone."

"I'll take my leave first."

...

Time passed.

Wu Yuan quickly obtained more information through the channels of the Taiyuan Divine Court lineage.

It should be noted that many mark reporters venture into the Dao Realm, and many mark reporters will meet some cultivators and even celestial beings and gods.

The intelligence is not small.

"At least, there are one hundred and twenty-one Star Lords wanted me?" Wu Yuan was speechless for a while, murmuring to himself, "Is it necessary to be so crazy?"

Each Star Lord has tens of thousands of celestial beings under their command.

With so many Star Lords, any strong individual venturing into the Snow Light Mist Realm can find someone to claim the reward.

It's bound to be extremely crazy!

In a crevice of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

"Didn't expect."

"I also have a day of being completely wanted." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, "This trip, if I want to return to the Time-Space Island, I'll have to face a dragnet."

Suddenly.

"Hmm, Nie Zhen is looking for me? Does he have a way to help me bring the Black Demon Star back?" A cold light flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.

Nie Zhen, could he be so kind?

——

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 407 Karma Secret Technique (Four updates, 15,000 monthly votes for extra updates)

  After snatching the Black Demon Star from Senior Zhuo Hao's hands, Wu Yuan chose to flee immediately.

  Deciding to return to the Time-Space Island as soon as possible.

  However, just like most areas of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field and the Snow Light Mist Sea Inner Domain, it was suppressed by spatial fluctuations and unable to enter the space fragment layer.

  Unless one has the ability to directly enter the spatial turbulence layer.

  Plus, during the escape process, he fell into a heavy array, so, seven days later, Wu Yuan still couldn't leave the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

  "Under normal circumstances, three or four days would be enough for me to escape the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field."

  Wu Yuan thought to himself, "However, even if I'm lucky and find the best route, wanting to leave the Snow Light Mist Realm would still take at least several months."

  If luck is bad and one falls into a dangerous place.

  It could lead to death or a long period of being trapped.

  Like the time when Wu Yuan arrived in the Inner Domain and intruded into the core area, it was his unluckiest time and took several years.

  As for returning to the Time-Space Island?

  It would take even longer.

  "Now, not only is there the danger of the Snow Light Mist Realm itself, but there are also hundreds of Star Lords hunting for me, and countless immortals wanting to kill me," Wu Yuan pondered.

  Want to rely on oneself to return?

  It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

  "Let's go meet Nie Zhen and see what tricks he's up to." Although Wu Yuan has a grudge with Nie Zhen, he is not narrow-minded, and a thought enters the Time-Space Realm.

  ...

  In a tavern in the Time-Space Realm.

  Wu Yuan quickly arrived here according to the address left by Nie Zhen.

  Entering the private room.

  With a glance, Wu Yuan stopped because the two people in the private room were both familiar faces.

  "Friend Mingjian, long time no see, how have you been?" The middle-aged man in black robes smiled.

  "Mì yún." Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

  The middle-aged man in black robes in front of him.

  Is none other than Mì yún God, who killed his Law Body in the core area of the Snow Light Mist Realm before.

  As a God, he can unleash the power of a Seventh-Level Immortal, and among nearly ten million mark reporters in the Time-Space Island, he is probably ranked in the top ten.

  "Friend Mingjian, please sit down." Nie Zhen, who was also wearing a black robe, smiled and said, "Sit down and let's talk slowly."

  The three of them took their seats.

  "Alright, tell me." Wu Yuan smirked, "You came to find me, I'm afraid it's not for anything good."

  "Friend Mingjian, where did you get such talk?" Nie Zhen chuckled, "We invited you here just to discuss a deal with you."

  "Speak!"

  "Friend, you are currently carrying the Black Demon Star worth thirty billion divine crystals. Are you sure you can safely return?" Mì yún God smiled, "With hundreds of Star Lords hunting you, as far as I know, within ten days, at least thousands of Star Lord-level powerhouses will invade the Snow Light Mist Realm."

  "Within a month, you won't be able to escape the Snow Light Mist Realm, and you will undoubtedly die," Mì yún God said.

  Wu Yuan sneered.

  But he didn't refute.

  Because what the other party said was true. Once thousands of Star Lords gather, theoretically, they can block all the exits of the Snow Light Mist Realm.

  The probability of escape is extremely low!

  "Now, I am willing to give you a way out."

  "Hand over the Black Demon Star to me, and I will give you five hundred million divine crystals," Mì yún God smiled, "How about it?"

  "Joke! It's worth thirty billion divine crystals," Wu Yuan shook his head.

  Five hundred million divine crystals?

Five hundred million divine crystals?

  Send away a beggar!

  "Only when offered to the Star Lords is it worth thirty billion. In your and my hands, it's not worth thirty billion divine crystals," Mì yún God smiled, showing no anger.

  "How do we trade?" Wu Yuan asked.

  There's no harm in asking first.

  "My Law Body is currently in the Snow Light Mist Realm, not far from the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field," Mì yún God smiled, "You hide first, then give me the space coordinates, and I'll come to find you. As long as you give me the Black Demon Star, I'll transfer the divine crystals to you through the Time-Space Realm."

  "At that time, even if your Law Body perishes, it won't be a loss."

  "If you don't believe it, we can establish a contract through the Time-Space Realm," Mì yún God continued.

  His words seemed sincere.

  Wu Yuan fell into silence.

  "Mingjian, we're just cultivators. Even if we get the Black Demon Star, it's useless. This thing only has great value in the hands of the Star Lords in the Dao Realm," Nie Zhen also persuaded from the side.

  Wu Yuan smiled.

  What they said was not wrong. The Black Demon Star indeed has little use for ordinary cultivators.

  To be precise, the Black Demon Pillar and the Black Demon Star have similar effects on cultivators, only being able to perform the Black Demon Blood Sacrifice - Upper and Middle levels.

  But, he has the Black Tower!

  "The price is too low."

  Wu Yuan shook his head, "Mì yún, Nie Zhen, you have to understand, in the entire Time-Space Island, there are more than just the two of you who can contact the Star Lords of the Dao Realm."

  On Time-Space Island, there are several others at their level.

  Like those whose understanding of the Dao has reached the level of the Star Lords, and the Immortal Gods whose strength rivals the Star Lords, who have been on Time-Space Island for many years, more or less, can establish some connections with the Nine Major Forces of the Dao Realm.

  "Alright, you set a price," Mì yún God smiled.

  "Twenty billion divine crystals," Wu Yuan said lightly.

  Mì yún God's smile froze.

  "Mingjian, it's too much," Nie Zhen shook his head, "You won't get this price from any mark reporter you go to. You also have to understand, if we give the Black Demon Star to the Star Lords of the Dao Realm, they won't give us thirty billion divine crystals."

  "Then let's forget about it for now, I'll go try others." Wu Yuan smiled.

  "Mingjian friend, while you're exploring the Snow Light Mist Realm, there are few who have the ability to help you," Mì yún God smiled slowly and gently, continuing, "So, I'll give you a bottom price, twelve billion divine crystals."

  "This is the limit."

  "Within ten days, if you come to me, I'll complete the transaction at this price." Mì yún God said, "I also bear risks, you can't let us not earn anything."

  Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

  "Alright, within ten days, I'll give you an answer." Then, Wu Yuan left the private room directly.

  Leaving behind the two Gods.

  "Twelve billion, are we really giving it to him?" Nie Zhen said heavily, "According to our negotiations with Yá hēi Star Lord, we can only get a total of twenty billion."

  "The Black Demon Star is in hand, and we can get twenty billion divine crystals." Mì yún God shook his head slightly, "Without getting it, it's worth nothing."

  "Now, we're the ones begging Mingjian."

  "After all, the thing is in his hands." Mì yún God said softly.

  Nie Zhen fell silent.

  "But, we can't let him lead us by the nose." Mì yún God said lightly, "My Law Body is on the way, and from what I know, there are other powerful mark reporters from other forces also rushing to the Snow Light Mist Realm."

  "They will all be looking for Mingjian's traces, and when they meet, they will be ruthless."

  "What about you?" Mì yún God looked at Nie Zhen.

  "Me?"

Nie Zhen hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Although I have grievances with him, it's not to the point of mortal enmity. After all, I am ultimately from the Taiyuan Divine Court lineage. In the future, when I leave the Time-Space Dao Realm, we will still have to meet."

Using other forces to strike the other party and directly resorting to killing are two different matters!

"Mm."

"You're worried he'll retaliate in the future, but I'm not afraid." Mì yún God smiled, "Alright, I'll leave first and see if I can have some good luck."

"If I'm the first to find Mingjian and kill him, I'll still split some divine crystals with you according to our agreement."

Then, Mì yún God left.

...

Nie Zhen and Mì yún were the first to search for Wu Yuan. In fact, within a day, there were over a thousand mark reporters attempting to find him.

All of them were trying to negotiate.

Of course, the vast majority whose strength was insufficient were directly rejected by Wu Yuan. He only interacted with dozens of them.

More than half of them were from the Taiyuan Divine Court lineage, but there were also some from the Witch Court lineage, and others from the Eight Mountains Alliance lineage, and so on.

All the major forces were represented!

The proposals they put forward were also varied, and Wu Yuan only listened and did not fully commit to any.

... Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

Swoosh!

Wu Yuan was moving at close to the speed of light in the crevices of the ice, trying to break out of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field at the fastest speed.

Once his whereabouts were exposed, the farther he ran, the safer he would be.

"Many have come to talk to me, and there are many proposals, but generally speaking, they can be roughly divided into two categories," Wu Yuan pondered quickly during his escape.

"The first category is trade, persuading me to sell the Black Demon Star. These mark reporters may be backed by those Star Lords in the Dao Realm. The highest bid was fifteen billion divine crystals, and the lowest was eight billion divine crystals."

If one said they weren't tempted, it would be false.

Fifteen billion divine crystals!

If he didn't encounter any miraculous opportunities or receive gifts from his masters and ancestors, it would take who knows how long to earn that much on his own.

With so many divine crystals.

Even his dormant lifebound flying sword could continue to evolve.

Unfortunately.

"The Black Demon Star is related to the Black Tower. Even if I want to sell it in the future, I have to wait until I return to Time-Space Island," Wu Yuan had long thought it through.

He must bring it back to Time-Space Island.

"The second category is escorting. Some mark reporters have completed their time-space missions and are still in the Snow Light Mist Realm. As long as I hand over the Black Demon Star to them, they can use the time-space transmission array to return directly to Time-Space Island. When they return to Time-Space Island, they will give the Black Demon Star back to me," Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

But the costs were all very high, with the lowest asking for fifty million divine crystals.

The highest asking for five hundred million divine crystals.

There were also many difficulties. For example, most of these mark reporters were far from Wu Yuan, and it was very difficult for both sides to meet safely.

More importantly, Wu Yuan didn't have enough divine crystals.

Of course, some mark reporters were 'considerate' enough to tell Wu Yuan that he could postpone payment, with a maximum delay of five thousand years.

"The biggest risk is that after handing the Black Demon Star over to these mark reporters, it might be embezzled," Wu Yuan frowned.

Although they would all sign contracts in the Time-Space Realm.

However, apart from the contracts for jointly performing time-space missions, which Time-Space Island would absolutely guarantee.

Other contracts? They didn't have absolute effectiveness and were prone to loopholes.

Involving several hundred million or even over a billion divine crystals, it was not too cautious to be careful.

Among the many mark reporters.

Those who could be slightly trusted, like Nangong Meng and Xiang Fan, were no longer in the Snow Light Mist Realm.

"In fact, I still have one way to go," Wu Yuan muttered to himself, "When no one can be trusted."

"So, I'll escape to a hidden place first, hide the Black Demon Star there, and wait until I breakthrough to become a Celestial, then come back to retrieve it," Wu Yuan murmured to himself.

In the Snow Light Mist Realm, only those below the rank of Star Lord can enter.

Wu Yuan practices both time and space, so if he becomes a Celestial in the future, there is hope for him to unleash the power of a Star Lord.

Moreover, if he comprehends the true meaning of the spatial law to the seventh level, he can also easily leave.

The risk of this plan is that the longer the night, the more dreams there are.

If he's not careful, the hidden treasure might be accidentally discovered by someone and taken away.

"Let's give it a try."

"Even if there are many Celestial Star Lords besieging me, with my dual cultivation of time and space, I might still be able to escape," Wu Yuan still had a hint of confidence.

The Snow Light Mist Realm is vast.

With numerous dangerous areas and sealed spaces everywhere, it's not easy for someone to find him.

Swoosh!

As Wu Yuan continued to flee towards the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field, he had to maneuver through the winding and twisting cracks in the ice, often having to make turns.

So, Wu Yuan couldn't maintain the highest speed and could only maintain a speed close to the speed of light.

...

As Wu Yuan was frantically fleeing.

Celestials and Star Lords from various forces in the Dao Realm were rushing towards the Snow Light Mist Realm.

However, it would still take them some time to arrive.

And those who received orders from the Cliff Black Star Lord, such as Gu Shou Star Lord, who set off the earliest, had already arrived at the Snow Light Mist Realm and entered.

"Although the news was only concealed for seven days."

"But it's worth it."

"Seven days faster than the other Star Lords, that's seizing the initiative." The Cliff Black Star Lord's own avatar had even arrived outside the Snow Light Mist Realm.

"Whether my underlings capture this Mingjian."

"Or if Mingjian chooses to trade with me, as long as I get the Black Demon Star, it's a success."

"I hope he chooses to trade with me." The Cliff Black Star Lord was not eager to make enemies with Wu Yuan.

He had obtained detailed information about Wu Yuan through some channels and powerful mark reporters on Time-Space Island.

He knew the opponent was named 'Mingjian', a mark reporter and member of the Taiyuan Divine Court.

Most importantly.

Mingjian had only been cultivating for less than a thousand years, which was what made the Cliff Black Star Lord most wary and incredulous.

However, although he was unwilling to make enemies.

Compared to the Black Demon Star, it was insignificant.

...

After fleeing for a full two days amidst layers of ice cracks, Wu Yuan finally exited the scope of the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

During this period, he actually encountered many Celestial and Divine beings, far more than before.

Obviously, a considerable portion of them had come specifically to search for him.

However, Wu Yuan, with his powerful perception ability, evaded them one by one.

"The Frost Mist Sea, the old place." Wu Yuan entered the vast and unpredictable Frost Mist Sea, revealing a faint smile.

The first time he came to the Snow Light Mist Realm, he landed in the Frost Mist Sea with Kou Lei and Zhuo Haiyue, exploring and taking risks.

Although the Frost Mist Sea is vast and seems more dangerous than the Ten Thousand Mountain Ice Field.

But for Wu Yuan, it has a huge advantage—its spatial ban is very weak, allowing him to break through to higher-dimensional spaces.

So, it will be safer and faster to pass through.

"Enter."

With a thought, Wu Yuan enveloped himself in fluctuations of spatial laws.

Quickly entering the spatial fragment layer, where the currents of spatial fragments surged mightily, but it made Wu Yuan feel at ease.

In the spatial fragment layer, even Celestial beings at the fifth or sixth level wouldn't be able to catch up to him.

Only Star Lords, their strength is too formidable, even if they are not good at spatial laws, they can maintain a 'tens of thousands of miles per second' super high speed in the spatial fragment layer.

Expanding to low-dimensional space is equivalent to traveling billions of miles in one second.

"Swoosh!"

Wu Yuan advanced effortlessly in the spatial fragment layer, covering tens of thousands of miles in just one second.

That's how it went.

The Frost Mist Sea, with a maximum diameter of tens of billions of miles, was crossed by Wu Yuan in just a few hours.

Along the way, he encountered many Celestial and Divine beings, even some Celestial and Divine gods, but none of them noticed Wu Yuan.

Until he entered the 'Hundred Winds Domain'.

Here, in terms of danger, it could be considered the most dangerous within the inner region, and it was also suppressed by spatial fluctuations.

"I can't enter high-dimensional space, so I have to be careful." Wu Yuan carefully navigated through it.

Here, space was twisted, greatly isolating spiritual perception.

The most dangerous thing was the cold winds that appeared out of nowhere in the void.

They were born out of thin air, and once affected, even with the powerful vitality of a divine being, they could possibly perish directly.

Extremely dangerous!!

It could easily rival some of the perilous places in the core area.

If it were before, Wu Yuan would never have chosen to enter the Hundred Winds Domain, but now he had no choice.

"If I take another route, it might be safer, but it will take too long, and before leaving the inner region, a large number of Star Lords might come searching for me."

"Only by passing through the Hundred Winds Domain within ten days can I directly leave the inner region." Wu Yuan had already thought it through.

Even if he had to hide the Black Demon Star.

The Hundred Winds Domain was still an excellent location.

...

As Wu Yuan struggled through the Hundred Winds Domain, avoiding one danger after another.

In a starry sky not too far from him.

There floated a massive iceberg, with a platform resembling an ice field at the foot of the mountain.

Sitting cross-legged on it was a figure clad in silver armor.

"Moon, have you sensed him through causal perception?" A young, tender voice rang in Zhuo Haiyue's mind.

"Mm." Zhuo Haiyue's expression was cold.

Her emanated vitality was powerful and majestic.

"Tsk tsk! You truly deserve to have a perfect integration with the Thunder Saint Mark."

"Moon, your progress has exceeded my expectations. You've mastered this causal secret technique so quickly." The young, tender voice continued to praise.

"If the Law of Thunder reaches the level of the Superior Domain, it would still take several years to master the causal secret technique. Why should I integrate the mark?" Zhuo Haiyue responded calmly.

"That's true."

"Moon, now that you've become a Celestial and have perfectly integrated the mark, all you need to do next is to systematically integrate insights...except for the final step, until you reach the ninth level of the Superior Domain, you will have no more doubts." The young, tender voice said.

"Mm." Zhuo Haiyue listened, but there was hardly any joy on her beautiful face.

In fact, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Are you planning to snatch the Black Demon Star from his hands through causal perception?...It's a good treasure, maybe you can even get the Black Demon Lord's treasures..." The young, tender voice continued incessantly.

"You should go back now." Zhuo Haiyue suddenly said.

"Don't..." The young, tender voice had just opened its mouth.

And it had completely disappeared.

Whoosh!

Zhuo Haiyue stood up, faintly radiating thunderlight all over her body. There was a hint of desolation in her eyes, along with a touch of coldness, murmuring to herself, "Integrating the Life Mark...once the mark is fully completed, will I still be myself? For everything gained, there's always something lost."

"However, given another chance, I would still choose this path. If I didn't, the me from back then would have just been an insignificant cultivator on the Red Moon Immortal Island."

"I have no regrets."

Boom!

Zhuo Haiyue took a step forward, and she transformed into a thunderlight, disappearing instantly into the vast starry sky.

Obviously, she had broken through to high-dimensional space using the Thunderlight Escape Technique.

...

In the Hundred Winds Domain, this vast area contained countless strange spaces, leading people to different regions.

In the void, there were numerous floating black mountains.

These mountains varied in size, some towering billions of miles high, while others were only tens of thousands of miles tall. Sometimes they were densely packed, and other times they were separated by vast distances.

But they were the only 'coordinates' in the Hundred Winds Domain. By using these black mountains, one could roughly confirm their own position.

Wu Yuan walked in one of the voids.

Suddenly.

"Pfft!" In the distant void, a terrifying force was born out of thin air. Following it was a huge blade-like force that instantly cut through the void, causing the space to distort and twist.

It came too fast.

"Not good!"

Wu Yuan's expression changed involuntarily, and he quickly activated the immortal swords floating around him, while simultaneously activating the Sword Domain, causing the surrounding time flow to change.

The power of the nine immortal swords erupted to the extreme.

"Pong! Pong! Pong!" The Sword Domain instantly collided with the terrifying cold wind that swept across tens of thousands of miles of void like a giant blade.

This caused the space to tremble faintly, and the immortal swords were blown away, but they also slightly slowed down the advance of the cold wind.

Seizing this opportunity.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

While deploying the Sword Domain, Wu Yuan's figure instantly split into nine, with each figure flying away in different directions. After flying tens of thousands of miles away, three of the figures were instantly annihilated by the terrifying cold wind.

Then, the cold light continued to surge towards further away.

The other six figures hurriedly converged back into one, forming Wu Yuan's figure once again.

The surrounding void calmed down.

"That was close." Wu Yuan's face turned slightly pale. After spending so long in the Hundred Winds Domain, this was the most dangerous encounter he had faced.

The cold wind was everywhere, unpredictable and difficult to predict.

Wu Yuan's mind moved, gathering the many immortal swords that had been blown away, and he probed them slightly.

Among them, two immortal swords showed signs of damage.

"Even the immortal swords are at risk of being shattered. What if I were to come into direct contact?" Wu Yuan's heart was filled with a chill. This power was too terrifying.

It reminded him of the moment when he faced the Sword Slash from the Seeker God.

Indeed, it was a perilous place comparable to the core region.

"It's also because my mana is too weak. If I had the power of a Six Tribulation Celestial, it wouldn't be so difficult," Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

But there was no way.

Choosing a direction, Wu Yuan continued on his way.

...On a black mountain billions of miles away from Wu Yuan in the Hundred Winds Domain.

Several figures were gathered here.

The leader was a thin black-clad old man with two long horns on his forehead.

He was sitting cross-legged on a black rock.

The surface of the rock was smooth, obviously specially polished.

Not far from him, there were two black-armored men lying on the rock, one tall and one short.

"Boss."

The tall black-armored man said in a low voice, "They've all gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains Icefield. Why are we waiting here in the Hundred Winds Domain? Can we really wait for the Spatial Temporal Immortal here?"

"The probability is very low, to be able to wait." The old man in black said softly.

"How low? Tiny?" The tall black-armored man muttered.

"Fool! Third Brother, haven't you thought about it? With so many Star Lords offering rewards, and a large number of Star Masters rushing in, do we have a chance if we go the normal route to hunt down Mingjian?" The short black-armored man shook his head.

The tall black-armored man was puzzled, then shook his head.

"The Spatial Temporal Immortal may not be strong in direct confrontation, but his ability to escape is top-notch. There are roughly nine routes to leave the Inner Domain after leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains Icefield... and seven of them completely suppress spatial fluctuations."

"Only two routes have some distance where high-dimensional travel is possible."

"One of these routes, after passing through the Frost Mist Sea, if you want to enter the Outer Domain area, you must pass through the Hundred Winds Domain." The short black-armored man said, "So, Boss, that's why we're here."

The tall black-armored man suddenly realized.

"Of course, with so many routes and the vastness of the Hundred Winds Domain, our chances of encountering him are also extremely low." The short black-armored man smiled, "Thousands of Star Masters, tens of thousands of Celestials, destined to have only a few who can claim the reward offered by the Star Lords."

"Maybe, Mingjian will just go back to the Temporal Island directly."

"In the end, it's just a matter of spending some time and relying on luck." The short black-armored man spoke confidently.

Suddenly.

"It's not just luck, luck has come." The black-clad old man who had been sitting cross-legged all along had a hint of cold light in his eyes, "I think, the detection array I laid down has sensed the Spatial Temporal Immortal."
