A Trail Spotted

Chen Fan took the dark, cold token; it felt heavy in his hand.

Chen Fan grinned, revealing a set of neat white teeth. His amber eyes sparkled with undisguised excitement and eagerness, as if he had discovered a new toy.

"Old Gu."

Chen Fan weighed the token in his hand, then looked at Gu Ci, who had a serious expression, and said half-jokingly, "Don't worry, don't act like it's a matter of life and death..."

He paused, licked his lips, and his eyes shone even brighter.

"The roles of prey and hunter are not fixed."

In one sentence, all the instructions Gu Ci had prepared were stuck in his throat.

Looking at the little guy who only reached his chest, he could only let out a helpless sigh and shake his head.

This kid's temperament is sometimes both lovable and infuriating.

"Get lost."

Gu Ci waved his hand dismissively.

Chen Fan chuckled and no longer hesitated.

He separated a wisp of the immense Qi and Blood within his body, which had just broken through to three thousand calories, and injected it into the token.

"Buzz!"

The token was like an ancient ferocious beast awakening from its slumber, instantly unleashing a blinding black light that completely enveloped Chen Fan's entire slender body.

The next second, the enormous colorful vortex that had been hovering in the center of the void seemed to sense the call of the token, and an irresistible, terrifying suction force emanated from it.

Enveloped in black light, Chen Fan's figure transformed into a Stream of Light of light shooting backward. Before he could even say goodbye, he was instantly swallowed up by the gigantic vortex and vanished without a trace.

The spaceship's bridge fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Gu Ci stood silently by the porthole, gazing at the still slowly spinning, bizarre and chaotic vortex. His eyes, usually calm and indifferent, were now filled with unprecedented complexity and worry.

After a long while, he spoke to himself in a low voice, a voice only he could hear.

"Kid..."

"This is just the beginning of your Invincible Path."

"You must... come back alive."

At the same time.

Far, far beyond this void, Sirius.

Deep within a heavily guarded, sprawling ancient manor.

The patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Wuqing, was sitting upright in a grand chair carved from a single piece of Millennium Ironwood.

He looked at the top-secret, highly encrypted intelligence that had just been transmitted to his Personal Computer, and a chilling smirk slowly crept onto his lips.

The intelligence was very simple, consisting of only a Star Map and a line of text.

On the Star Map, a point of light representing a private Starship hovers quietly in a marked area.

A line of text appeared above.

"The target Starship has docked; it is suspected to be the entrance to the Myriad Laws Source Realm."

"Heh... Gu Ci, you finally couldn't resist and sent him in."

Before Xiao Wuqing, a holographic projection appeared, displaying the equally gloomy face of Yang Kaitai, the head of the Yang Family.

"Heaven is on my side!" Yang Kaitai's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and killing intent. "Within the Myriad Laws Source Realm, life and death are one's own responsibility, each accepting their fate! This is an ironclad rule jointly established by the Federation and Ten Thousand Races, and even Martial God has no right to interfere. This is the best place, and the only chance, to eliminate that little beast!"

The failed interstellar interception last time resulted in a warning from the Federation Envoy, causing both families to lose face and leaving them seething with anger.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

A glint of venomous ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Wuqing's eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice icy. "We are well aware of the rules of the Source Realm. The Organ Refining Region is only open to beings who have just entered the Organ Refining Realm, whose foundation is not yet established, and who have never cultivated any complete Organ Refining Technique."

"These rules are practically... tailor-made for us!"

"Even if a ten-year-old at the Organ Refining Realm is incredibly talented and has a solid foundation, it's impossible for him to create a cultivation technique out of thin air. He must enter the Myriad Laws Source Realm to find his own Dao Seed."

"And this is his death!"

"My Yang Family has prepared ten elite warriors," Yang Kaitai said in a deep voice. "They are all geniuses selected from collateral and affiliated families, who have just broken through to the Organ Refining Realm by relying on abundant resources. They have solid foundations, are extremely loyal to the family, and are just waiting for your order!"

"My Xiao Family has also prepared ten people," Xiao Wuqing said with absolute confidence. "Twenty experts at the Organ Refining Realm, each of whom has practiced the most basic Combined Attack Techniques of our two families. Forming Battle Formation, they are enough to surround and kill Organ Refining Mid-Stage expert."

"Using this lineup to hunt down a ten-year-old child..."

He picked up the teacup beside him, gently blew on it to cool it, and his eyes reflected a scene of Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood.

"No matter how extraordinary he is, he is doomed to die!"

Another hidden, unknown Star Domain.

The same chaotic distortion, the same void.

In front of a smaller, colorful vortex, twenty young men dressed in identical black combat uniforms, exuding a cold and murderous aura, stood silently in formation.

Each of them possessed a powerful and abundant inner Qi and Blood, clearly indicating that they were all experts who had just entered the Organ Refining Realm.

Standing at the head of the group was a young man with Scarface on his face. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept over the nineteen people behind him, and he coldly gave the order in a tone devoid of any emotion:

"Target: Chen Fan."

Age: ten years old.

"Belongs to: Blue Star Training Camp"

"Once inside, activate the Tracking Secret Technique and find him at all costs, then..."

The Scarface youth made a throat-slitting gesture.

Kill him!

"Yes!"

The nineteen people shouted in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

"Set off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Scarface youth took out an identical black token and infused it with his Qi and Blood.

Immediately afterwards, the nineteen people behind him moved in unison and activated their tokens simultaneously.

Twenty jet-black beams of light shot into the sky, like twenty sharp arrows aimed at their prey, and in the next second, they all plunged into the dazzling yet deadly vortex of color.

A deadly net, composed of twenty powerful individuals of the same rank, quietly unfolded.

Within the vast and boundless Myriad Laws Source Realm.

After a dizzying spin, Chen Fan's figure finally crashed heavily onto a strange, grayish-white piece of land.

He shook his head, stood up, and curiously looked around at this brand new world.

The sky was overcast, devoid of sun and Stars, only filled with countless tiny, multicolored rays of Origin Power, drifting down like an endless meteor shower.

A pure, yet utterly unfamiliar power permeated the air.

He took a deep breath, feeling as if every one of his 36 million pores was cheering with joy.

"Is this... the Myriad Laws Source Realm?"

Chen Fan's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but circulate the internal energy within his body. He could immediately feel that unfamiliar power surging into Chen Fan body.
