Crushed Apart

A Flying Boat slowly glides through the rubble, while in the pavilion, the Hongya Squad and five Spirit Tribe chat and laugh, getting along harmoniously.

"We five brothers narrowly escaped a great calamity this time, thanks to the help of several Daoist Friends. Please drink this cup to the brim!" Yan Ju of the Fire Spirit Tribe said, raising his wine cup.

The other four Spirit Tribe also quickly raised their wine cups, their expressions sincere.

Yang Tianyou and the others did not refuse. After drinking together, they began to talk about the Secret Realm that Yan Ju and the others had encountered.

Yan Ju put down the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "This Secret Realm was formed naturally by heaven and earth, containing a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I even faintly sensed the aura of the Universe Origin Crystal within it."

"What? The Universe Origin Crystal? Is this true?" Hong Ya was shocked and stared intently at Yan Ju, asking him. The other six team members also looked over with burning eyes.

Yang Tianyou's gaze sharpened. He certainly knew what this so-called Universe Origin Crystal was.

The Ninefold Universe Continent is a fragment of the universe, containing the power of the universe's origin. Under normal circumstances, this power is strictly protected by the remaining power of the universe's rules, making it impossible to access, even for Immortals and Gods.

However, the cosmic rules of the Ninefold Universe Continent are incomplete. The incomplete cosmic rules are like a broken bowl that leaks water. However, what leaks out is not water, but a very small amount of cosmic origin. This origin mixes with external energy to form Origin Crystals.

The value of the Universe Origin Crystal is extremely high. This resource can help cultivators deeply comprehend the mysteries of the universe's rules, purify their magical Law Power, and refine their Fleshly Body. It is also excellent for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, making it almost a panacea.

For Yang Tianyou, this resource also had another use: to expand his Great White Grotto Heaven.

Seeing the reaction of the Hongya Squad, Yan Ju and the others were not surprised at all. When he sensed the aura of the Universe Origin Crystal, his reaction was even more intense. Otherwise, he would not have been ambushed by those damned Mutant Beasts.

"My intuition should be correct. There is a high probability that there are Universe Origin Crystal in that Secret Realm. However, if we want to obtain these resources, we must kill those Mutant Beasts." Yan Ju said, a look of hatred appearing on his face. He had made enemies with those Mutant Beasts and was eager to kill them.

"Tell me the details so we can prepare," Hong Ya said, quickly regaining his composure.

Yan Ju then introduced the basic situation to the members of the Hongya Squad. After understanding the situation, Hong Ya began to arrange the tactics.

This is a giant rock with a diameter of a million feet, its surface pitted and covered with various collision marks. A Flying Boat quietly landed in one of the pits, and with a flash of light, twelve figures appeared, namely Hong Ya and his companions.

"Follow me!" Yan Ju led the way, and the group flew towards the bottom of the pit. In no time, they arrived at the bottom. Yan Ju waved his hand, and the stone wall in front of them began to slowly crumble away, eventually revealing a circular opening. Yan Ju took the lead and entered it, with Yang Tianyou and the others following closely behind. After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up before them. A faint silver-gray light poured down from above, and several silver rivers were clearly suspended in the sky. One could vaguely see extremely large creatures inhabiting them, which were likely Mutant Beasts.

"Where is the Universe Origin Crystal?" Hong Ya asked telepathically. This was the most important thing. Even if they didn't want the other treasures, just getting some Origin Crystal would make their trip worthwhile.

"In that direction!" Yan Ju pointed to a certain direction, and then the group carefully concealed themselves and slowly advanced in that direction.

"So many Mutant Beasts, and many of them are species we've never seen before," Jie Yuan said curiously, looking around. As far as the eye could see, Mutant Beasts of all shapes and sizes were either leisurely sleeping or fighting and killing each other, creating a vibrant scene.

"The energy of heaven and earth here is also abundant; it seems to indeed possess the Universe Origin Crystal," the Kumao said, perched on Long Kuang's shoulder and licking its paws.

Generally speaking, areas containing the Universe Origin Crystal will automatically attract the energy of heaven and earth and Mutant Beasts.

The crowd's enthusiasm soared, and their burning eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

Several hours later, Yan Ju, who was flying at the forefront, stopped and raised his right hand, saying, "We're almost there. Get ready. Those damned lions are very alert and troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou and the others silently took out their most prized Spirit Treasures, their inner Law Power surging like a vast river, ready to unleash their killing Divine Abilities.

Red Hawk prepared several Formation Disc to conceal the sounds of battle, the lowest grade being the Eighth Tier superior grade.

Soon, the horde of Mutant Beasts that made Yan Ju grit his teeth in hatred came into view.

These Mutant Beast beasts are covered in dark purple scales, stand over ten feet tall, and have their backs covered in ferocious barbs. A dense aura of Thunder surrounds their bodies, exuding a Sha Qi and Devil Qi.

There were thirteen Mutant Beasts in total. The weakest of them was at the Great Perfection of the Body Integration, while the two strongest had already stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Their terrifying and intimidating aura made one's scalp tingle.

That said, it's quite remarkable that Yan Ju and the other four Spirit Tribe managed to escape from these guys' clutches. It seems these five brothers must have some hidden tricks up their sleeves.

"Get ready, everyone! Concentrate all attacks on that male leader and try to take him down in one go," Hong Ya said solemnly.

All members, including Yan Ju and the other five Spirit Tribe, had no objections. This was a tactic they had discussed on the Flying Boat: to capture the leader first. Taking down the leader of the Mutant Beasts would be a huge blow to the morale and spirit of this clearly gregarious group of Mutant Beasts, not only in terms of strength.

"Let's get started! I can already smell the sweet, fragrant scent of the Universe Origin Crystal." Jie Yuan licked his lips, eager to try.

"Three, two, one... Attack!!" Hong Ya gave the order, and bursts of killing Divine Ability shot out. At the same time, countless complex Array Mark filled the sky, trying to conceal the intense battle as much as possible.

Roar!!

Just as the Hongya Squad and the Yan Ju brothers launched their attack, the deadly threat startled the Mutant Beasts. They stood up almost simultaneously, and countless violent and destructive Thunder twisted and leaped like dragons and snakes. One after another, their Innate Divine Abilities were instantly prepared. However, it was already too late.

Swords flashed, fire dragons roared, poisonous insects rained down, and the aura of corpses shook the heavens and the earth...

All the attacks were focused on the lion- Mutant Beast leader, annihilating his body into dust and even destroying his soul.

"Good! Well done!" Seeing the attack go so smoothly, Hong Ya and the others were invigorated. One of the two Tribulation Transcendence Mutant Beasts had already been dealt with, and the remaining one was simply a sitting duck.

"I'll deal with this female leader. You all quickly take care of the Mutant Beasts at the Body Integration level, then come and help me surround and wipe out this guy," Hong Ya ordered, before transforming into a four-legged beastman and engaging in fierce combat with the female beast.

Yang Tianyou and the other eleven faced off against the remaining eleven Mutant Beasts.

"Haha, let's see who's quickest! How about we bet 10,000 Extreme Spirits? Winner takes all!" Jie Yuan suggested.

Everyone laughed and nodded, then pounced on them wildly.

With his longsword pointing the way, Yang Tianyou unleashed the Life-and-Death Blade. Earlier on the Flying Boat, he had already fused the corpses of the Three-Eyed God Race into this Divine Ability Divine Ability, greatly enhancing its power. Even Yang Tianyou himself couldn't quite gauge the extent of the Life-and-Death Blade's offensive capabilities.

With a single slash, he unleashed a domineering aura, accompanied by the Daoist essence of life and death, and the quiet solitude. Interwoven with countless laws and Dao patterns, it formed a Life-and-Death Wheel that stretched across the Firmament. One after another, Gods and Devils roared and shouted as they propelled the wheel across the void. Among them, dozens had already materialized, including the figure of the Three-Eyed God Race.

Boom!!

The Life-and-Death Wheel crushed everything in its path, even the space itself was suppressed. The lion- Mutant Beast had nowhere to hide and was terrified. It could only roar and pounce, but with a deafening roar, countless fragments of flesh and blood flew out. This Mutant Beast, with its power at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Body Integration, was actually crushed to pieces.

In an instant, astonished gazes converged upon him. Yang Tianyou himself was somewhat stunned; the Life-and-Death Blade had actually become this powerful?
