Beyond the realms lay chaos, shrouded in eternal darkness.
Boundless black miasma churned through the chaos, shutting out the Great Dao of the heavens, obscuring the streaming light of the stars, and severing the breath of the epochs. This was the forbidden frontier of the myriad worlds, a savage wasteland where outer realm devils had dwelled for generations. There were no ordered laws of heaven and earth, no flourishing spiritual veins or mountain ranges-only endless annihilation, eternal darkness, and outer realm races locked in ceaseless slaughter.
Ever since his panicked flight from that earth-shaking battle in the Hongmeng New Era, Demon Emperor You Ye had not taken a single step beyond this chaotic territory.
The terrifying sight of Lin Feng shattering an emperor with his flesh alone, wiping out the main force of a hundred thousand demon soldiers in three strikes, and slaying Emperor Shadow, an emperor of equal rank, had branded itself deep within You Ye's divine soul like an eternal nightmare. It had never faded for even a moment. He had roamed the outer realms for countless years, trampled ancient imperial dynasties, fought the Myriad Heavens Supremes, and washed ancestral secret realms in blood, yet never had another Emperor Lord of his own rank inspired such bone-deep terror.
That was supreme physical power that transcended the rules of the heavens, ignored the counters of every art, crushed all spells and puppets, and could neither be broken nor destroyed.
He and Emperor Shadow had painstakingly plotted for ages. Using four blood sacrifices across the heavens as their foundation, they had forged an entire arsenal of forbidden trump cards to counter Lin Feng's Dao arts, talismans, formations, and Emperor Weapons. They had believed victory was certain—that they would destroy the Hongmeng New Era and slay its newly risen Emperor Lord.
