Nine Giants Launch a Joint Campaign, Fleeing into the Secret Realm in Search of Origin

The lingering power of the battle in the Cangwu Secret Realm, like the eternal thunderclap at the dawn of World Creation, echoed for a long time in the nine heavens and eight wastelands of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, never dissipating. On that day, blood stained every inch of the mountains in the Secret Realm. Shattered immortal weapons and fallen divine souls transformed into countless fireflies. Ren Xiaoyao stood alone atop the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his black robe stained with blood yet his figure upright. He single-handedly annihilated the three great sects of the Purple Sky Sect, Flame Sect, and Azure Cloud Sect, and slew hundreds of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Grand Unity Golden Immortal and over ten thousand Immortal Venerable, with their overwhelming divine might that swept across armies and suppressed countless sects, stood like a towering war god appearing out of nowhere, firmly atop the Nine Heavens Cloud Peak of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens. They caused countless immortal cultivators to bow their heads in awe and fear, even their breathing filled with reverence and trepidation. Furthermore, they caused those supreme beings who held the highest authority in the Immortal Realm and had reigned for countless eons to lose sleep and become restless. For the first time, their once as stable as Mount Tai began to show cracks that threatened to crumble.

The Celestial Realm is vast and boundless, stretching across billions of miles of starry rivers, bearing witness to countless ages of immortal paths. Through the cycles of sun and moon and the nurturing of the Heavenly Dao for countless millennia, nine towering celestial peaks, piercing the clouds and connecting heaven and earth, have finally been forged. These nine peaks are the core of the Celestial Realm's destiny, their summits enveloped in primordial purple energy, their bases rooted in eternally indestructible spiritual veins. They are sacred grounds where all immortals pay homage, every wisp of immortal energy containing a gift from the Heavenly Dao. At the summit of each of the nine peaks resides a supreme power, wielding the power of life and death in the Celestial Realm, establishing the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth—truly transcendent beings holding the reins of the Heavenly Dao. And the masters of the nine peaks are... These are the nine supreme beings of the heavens, overlooking all immortals, ruling over the eight wastelands, and dominating the ages! They are all peak quasi-emperors who have lived for tens of millions of years, their Dao foundations as deep as the ocean, encompassing all things, their Dao principles as perfect as the Heavenly Dao, flawless, and only one step away from the supreme Immortal Emperor realm. Their subordinates are numerous Grand Luo experts who can blot out the sun when they arrive on clouds; their Immortal Venerables are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and can shatter stars with a casual strike; their sects have such a strong foundation that they can move the tides of the boundary sea and reverse the course of time. They are the true heavens of the immortal realm, an unshakable supreme monument in the hearts of billions of immortal cultivators.

Ren Xiaoyao's seizure of the Cangwu Dao Fruit and his killing of the three sect Sect Master have already crossed the line of the Nine Immortal Peaks' monopoly on power. Furthermore, his sudden emergence has been unstoppable, his power overwhelming all sects. Not only does he monopolize the Cangwu Secret Realm as his foundation, but he also ascends to Cangwu Immortal Peak, one of the Nine Immortal Peaks. Relying on the Innate Spirit Veins of the Cangwu Secret Realm and using the primordial Primordial Chaos Origin of the Cangwu Dao Fruit as his core, he constructs a ten-thousand-foot-tall Primordial Chaos Dao Platform atop the Immortal Peak. The platform is entirely forged from Chaos Divine Stone, its surface engraved with intricate and profound innate Innate Dao Patterns, each Dao Patterns... The entire area was permeated with Primordial Chaos Pure Qi, with Chaos Current swirling around it like silk threads, drawing upon the Origin Power of heaven and earth. Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged upon it, his eyes slightly closed. The surging Chaos Dao Charm around him swept across the entire Cangwu Immortal Peak like a tsunami, drawing out all nine Innate Spirit Veins hidden beneath the peak. The source of those Spirit Vein Origin surged like rivers, transforming into nine crystal-clear Spirit Vein dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Strands of Origin Power continuously flowed into his body, transforming into supreme nourishment for tempering his Dao Foundation and solidifying his cultivation.

In an instant, purple qi soared into the sky atop Cangwu Immortal Peak, and boundless rays of light swept across the Heavenly Dao. The roar of the Heavenly Dao resounded endlessly, as if chanting a hymn to the rise of this unparalleled genius. The sun, moon, and stars bowed their heads, their light dimming by a third; the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged, forming a vast sea of Spiritual Qi clouds that blotted out the sun; the oppressive aura emanating from the entire immortal peak subtly threatened to rival and stand shoulder to shoulder with the other eight immortal peaks. This heaven-defying act, this meteoric rise, ignited the long-suppressed rage within the hearts of the nine giants, adding to their deep-seated fear and apprehension. They had ruled the Immortal Realm of the Heavens billions of years and had never seen such a brilliant and extraordinary junior. If allowed to grow unchecked, their own foundations would surely be destroyed.

Ren Xiaoyao's rise was too swift, like a comet streaking across the sky, shattering the silence of ages, making the world remember his name in an instant; too fierce, like a tiger descending from the mountains, sweeping away all obstacles, nothing could stop him in his path, sects were destroyed as easily as crushing ants; too heaven-defying, like the descent of the Heavenly Dao, his power overwhelming all living beings, single-handedly shaking the co-governing structure of the Nine Peaks. The Cangwu Dao Fruit in his hand was originally Innate Supreme Treasure nurtured at the very beginning of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, containing the Origin Power of the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening, a tacitly agreed-upon shared possession of the Nine Immortal Peaks, to be divided among them and incorporated into their respective sects' foundations when the time was ripe for the fortuitous opportunity. Their trump card, meant to propel them to the Immortal Emperor realm, has now fallen into the hands of Ren Xiaoyao alone, severing the fortuitous opportunity of the nine Immortal Peaks. How could they tolerate such a humiliating disgrace? The combat power he displayed has already reached the ceiling of the Quasi-Emperor peak, suppressing a Grand Luo Immortal with a single move, annihilating a giant with a single strike, and even showing signs of surpassing the nine giants and touching the very essence of the Immortal Emperor. If allowed to grow unchecked, he will inevitably ascend to the Immortal Emperor realm within a thousand years. At that time, the nine Immortal Peaks' monopoly on the Immortal Realm Dominant Position will completely collapse, and the ancient order of all immortals bowing down and the nine peaks reigning supreme will be completely rewritten. This is an outcome that the nine giants absolutely cannot allow to happen!

"Ren Xiaoyao, that scoundrel, has acted arrogantly and domineeringly, relying on the power of the Cangwu Dao Fruit, slaughtering cultivators of sects, staining the Cangwu Secret Realm with blood, and disrupting the Eternal Order of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens! Now he has also usurped the Cangwu Immortal Peak, refining the Innate Spirit Veins, and desecrating the sacred land of the Immortal Peak. If this villain is not eliminated, the Immortal Realm of the Heavens will never have peace!"

At the summit of the nine immortal peaks, nine roars resounded simultaneously, shaking the entire universe. Each sound contained the supreme Daoist aura of Quasi-Emperor at the peak, carrying the majesty of Heavenly Dao's judgment, as if shattering the heavens and earth. The nine sounds intertwined, transforming into rolling sound waves, like thunderbolts, sweeping across every inch of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens —from the celestial Immortal Palaces Nine Heavens Cloud Peak to the coral caves of the Deep-Sea Immortal Continent; from the lairs of ferocious beasts in the Ancient Wilderness Domain to the frozen lands of the Far-Northern Cold Abyss. Upon hearing this, countless immortal cultivators fell silent, hiding in their dwellings, daring not to make the slightest move, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of being caught in the raging fire and bringing about their own demise.

For countless eons, the nine immortal peaks have each carved out their own territory, occasionally clashing and engaging in minor battles for Spirit Vein resources. However, they have always adhered to an ancient tacit understanding and have never joined forces. After all, the nine peaks are evenly matched, and none of them are willing to let another reap the benefits. Now, in order to kill Ren Xiaoyao and seize the Cangwu Dao Fruit, the nine giants have finally broken the ancient tradition and joined forces for the first time. The auras of nine Quasi-Emperor at their peak converged, forming a monstrous battle power capable of overturning the universe and destroying Star River.

The Kunlun Peak Master, clad in pristine white robes, seemed like an immortal descended from an ancient glacier. He wore a Kunlun Jade Crown, carved from millennia-old Kunlun Ice Jade, its crown adorned with a primordial Primordial Chaos Jade Pearl that shimmered with timeless radiance, reflecting the trajectory of All Things in Heaven and Earth. He wielded the High Antiquity treasure, the Kunlun Mirror, its surface ancient and simple, engraved with countless Heavenly Dao Runes. A gentle glance could illuminate countless ages, revealing the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao and even discerning the flaws in Cultivator's Dao Foundation, leaving no opponent undetected. His aura was ethereal, like the Kunlun Cloud Sea, surging ceaselessly. With every gesture, mountains rose and fell, and Spiritual Charm filled the sky. Each step he took was accompanied by the illusory image of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, its overlapping peaks displaying the majestic majesty of the Lord of Mountains.

The Jade Pool Peak Mistress, clad in a seven-colored cloak embroidered with patterns of phoenixes singing and celestial flowers blooming, each stitch imbued with the Innate Realm Daoist charm and flowing with the Innate Realm seven-colored spiritual light, was dazzlingly radiant. He sat atop a phoenix chariot drawn by nine seven-colored divine phoenixes. The chariot, crafted from thousand-year-old Rosewood and inlaid with ten Auspicious Qi Yaochi Immortal Crystal, was surrounded by auspicious wisps of energy. The phoenixes' cries resounded throughout the heavens, melodious yet carrying an undeniable aura of power. He wielded the primordial Yaochi Holy Water, a Holy Water as clear and translucent as Glazed Ice, capable of Nourishing All Things, reshaping the Dao Foundation, and granting new life to dying cultivators; yet also capable of corroding Immortal Bone and annihilating divine souls, turning powerful enemies to ashes in an instant. His Daoist charm appeared gentle, but in reality, his power was overwhelming. Countless immortal cultivators bowed in reverence before him, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.

The Thunder Prison Immortal Peak Master, with his crimson hair cascading down his shoulders like a waterfall, each strand crackling with intense Innate Divine Lightning. He wore Black Iron Thunder Armor, forged from the bones of High Antiquity Thunder Beasts mixed with Mysterious Iron Thunder Crystals. The armor was engraved with countless thunder patterns, each one surging with Innate Divine Lightning and flashing with destructive light. He wielded a Sky-Splitting Thunder Hammer weighing tens of thousands of jin (approximately 30 tons), its head forged from Nine Heavens Black Iron Xuan Iron mixed with Lightning Core. When the hammer struck, the Star River of Sea of Lightning surged; when it roared, the Milky Way shattered. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed and lightning filled the sky. He was the master of the Innate Realm thunder path in the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, and his thunder power was enough to incinerate all paths and shatter the Primordial Chaos, making him terrifying beyond measure.

The Netherworld Peak Master, concealed within endless, pitch-black mist, was elusive and difficult to discern, his true form hidden. Only a pair of scarlet eyes flickered within the black mist, like a demon from the depths of hell, radiating a chilling aura. He wielded the Netherworld's supreme treasure, the Reincarnation Lamp, its body forged from Netherworld Mysterious Iron, its lampshade engraved with runes of Rebirth. When the lamp burned, the soul returned to its rightful place, Rebirth, offering a glimmer of hope; when the lamp extinguished, the soul was scattered, condemned to eternal damnation, severing all hope. His body was permeated with Death Qi, chilling to the bone. Wherever he passed, life ceased, vegetation withered, and even the primordial life force nurtured by the Heavenly Dao had to retreat, revealing the terrifying pressure of the Lord of the Netherworld.

There is also the Heaven Burning Immortal Peak Master, clad in Heaven Burning Flame Armor Flame Sect, the armor ablaze with raging Flame Sect, his body surrounded by towering flames that transform into a fire dragon, wielding the Heaven-Burning Sacred Fire. That flame, crimson black, burns everything, scorching the heavens and earth; even Immortal Gold and divine iron turn to ashes under its holy fire. The Profound Peak Master wears a Mysterious Black Daoist Robe, inscribed with runes that deduce the Dao of Heavenly Dao, holding the Profound Dao Scroll, its Daoist aura flowing, capable of deducing the mysteries of the Dao of Heavenly Dao and calculating the trajectories of all things; no Variables in the world can escape his insight. The Heavenly Sword Peak Master, dressed in a sturdy blue robe, carries the Heaven- Heaven-Slaying Emperor Sword on his back. The scabbard is ancient, yet it cannot conceal the sharp sword Sword Qi within. The Sword Qi energy soars to the heavens; a single strike can shatter the nine heavens and split the universe, representing the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the Immortal Realm of the Heavens. Stars Peak Master, clad in a star-studded Daoist robe, surrounded by countless stars, resembled a god who commanded the Milky Way, wielding the very Star Origin Star River. With a mere wave of his hand, he could unleash a deluge of the Star River and Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation Star Power, his might boundless. The Mountain Immortal Peak Master, with a body as imposing as a mountain, towering tens of thousands of feet tall, wore Mountain Battle Armor forged from the essence of ten thousand mountains, capable of lifting mountains and filling seas. His aura of mountain Dao was as heavy and profound as a mountain itself; with a single stomp, the earth would crack and mountains would topple, displaying the might of brute force. These nine giants were all supreme beings at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor, each wielding a fundamental Principle of heaven and earth. The pressure of each of them was enough to shake the entire Immortal Domain. Now, gathered together, their power Cang all others, shaking the universe and even causing the Boundary Sea to boil.

The nine great powers gathered in the void beyond the Cangwu Immortal Peak, their primordial Dao auras erupting simultaneously. Nine distinct Heavenly Dao Laws intertwined and collided, transforming into a boundless Dao Domain that enveloped billions of miles of sky. Within this domain, wondrous phenomena unfolded, their divine might overwhelming and inspiring awe: Kunlun Immortal Mountain rose abruptly from the ground, towering into the clouds and piercing the heavens. Ancient Dao patterns were inscribed on its rocks, radiating an unparalleled aura of dominance, as if it could lift up the heavens and earth; the sacred waters of Yaochi hung upside down in the sky, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long celestial river. Its flowing waters contained unparalleled power, capable of crushing a mountain with a single drop; the divine thunder of the Thunder Prison tore through the universe, billions of lightning bolts crisscrossing, transforming into a boundless sea of thunder. Within this sea, thunder dragons surged and thunder beasts roared, each bolt of lightning enough to cause the fall of an Immortal Venerable; the Netherworld Black Mist swept across the land, devouring the spiritual light of heaven and earth. The power of reincarnation flowed within the mist, sending shivers down one's spine, as if one were about to be dragged into the abyss at any moment; the raging flames of the Heavenly Blaze burned fiercely, crimson as blood and pitch black as ink, scorching the void with a hissing sound, turning into wisps of green smoke, even threatening to incinerate the space itself; the profound Daoist rhyme permeated all directions, deducing the birth and death of all things, the Daoist patterns flowing, revealing the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, each pattern seemingly telling the secrets of the universe; the sword energy of the Heavenly Sword pierced through the nine heavens, ten thousand sword lights crisscrossing, the sharp edge severing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, preventing the surrounding spiritual energy from gathering; the power of the stars illuminated the heavens, billions of stars twinkled, star power poured down, heavy as Mount Tai, each ray of starlight capable of piercing immortal armor; the weight of the mountains crushed the earth, towering mountains appeared out of thin air, one after another, suppressing the heavens and earth, causing spiritual veins to lie dormant, as if to completely crush the Cangwu Immortal Peak.

The nine fundamental Principle collided, unleashing a deafening roar, like thousands of war drums beating simultaneously. The void collapsed inch by inch, transforming into boundless Void, from which even light could not escape. The inherent Heavenly Dao Laws of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens were suppressed by this terrifying pressure, unable to flow. The world was deathly silent, save for the overwhelming pressure of the nine giants, which surged forth, crushing towards the Cangwu Immortal Peak. The spiritual herbs Immortal Wood on the peak trembled, ancient trees bent and broke, and even the Innate Spirit Veins lay dormant, daring not to surge. The air itself was solidified, as if it had turned into hard crystal.

The forces under the nine immortal peaks mobilized their entire strength, deploying their elite troops, eager for victory in this decisive battle. Each immortal peak dispatched a hundred peak-level Grand Luo experts and a thousand powerful Immortal Venerable. With the nine forces gathered together, there were over nine hundred Great Luo Stronger Ones and more than ten thousand powerful Immortal Venerable. Furthermore, a million elite immortal soldiers arrayed themselves in the sky, forming an endless military formation, their imposing aura blotting out the sun. These million immortal soldiers wielded the ancient standard immortal weapons passed down through the ages by the nine immortal peaks. Their swords, spears, and halberds gleamed with cold light, their armor gleaming and radiant, inscribed with the Heavenly Dao Origin, flowing with protective Dao God, capable of withstanding powerful enemies. The attack began. Banners fluttered in the wind, bearing the names of various peaks: "Kunlun," "Yaochi," "Thunder Prison," and other such characters Killing Intent like dragons and snakes, carrying a boundless killing Killing Intent that soared into the sky, transforming into a sky full of blood-red Thunder Clouds. Within these Thunder Clouds, countless sharp Killing Intent flowed, chilling and bone-piercing, terrifying anyone who dared to tremble. This spectacle far surpassed the previous battle in the Cangwu Secret Realm; it was the grandest and most terrifying war of rebellion in the countless ages of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens. Even the ancient, silent ruins of Immortal Emperor on the Beyond the Shore of the Boundary Sea trembled, emanating waves of awe-inspiring Daoist energy, as if fearing this World-Destroying Power.

"Ren Xiaoyao, quickly hand over the Cangwu Dao Fruit, bind yourself to the Nine Peaks Dao Platform, and endure our eighty-one Immortal Slaying Sword Punishments to repent for your sins. Perhaps then, a wisp of your remnant soul can be spared to enter reincarnation and cultivate anew!" The Kunlun Peak Master's voice was like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the nine heavens and ten earths. Every word contained a majestic Daoist rhyme, like a decree from the Heavenly Dao, allowing no disobedience. The Kunlun Mirror in his hand hung high in the sky, its body bursting forth with ten thousand feet of clear light. A beam of mirror light, condensed to the extreme, shot straight towards the Cangwu Immortal Peak, like a sharp sword, intending to expose the flaws in Ren Xiaoyao's Dao Foundation and deliver a fatal blow.

However, atop the Cangwu Immortal Peak, the Primordial Violet Qi still lingered in the heavens, and the Chaos Dao Charm permeated all directions, yet there was not a trace of human presence. Only the newly constructed, ten-thousand-foot-tall Primordial Chaos Dao Platform stood quietly atop the peak, emanating a faint Chaos Dao Charm. In the center of the platform, a translucent Message Jade Talisman, surrounded by purple qi, floated in the air, its spiritual light shimmering—this was the contingency plan left behind by Ren Xiaoyao before his departure.

The jade talisman shattered upon impact, dissipating into specks of spiritual light. Ren Xiaoyao's voice, as indifferent as an ancient, icy pool, carried a vast, Chaos Dao Charm, piercing through the boundless Dao domains of the nine great giants, resounding throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, echoing for a long time beyond the Cangwu Immortal Peak: "The nine immortal peaks, entrenched in the heavens Cang countless ages, monopolizing the power of the Heavenly Dao, regarding billions of immortal cultivators as mere straw dogs, regarding the origin of heaven and earth as their private property, slaughtering dissidents, and controlling the Immortal Path of immortality—you are the true culprits who have disturbed the Immortal Realm of the Heavens and desecrated the rules of the Heavenly Dao! To think you can take my life and seize my Dao fruit is nothing but wishful thinking and overestimating yourselves!"

Before the words had even finished, Ren Xiaoyao's figure faintly emerged from the shattered light of the jade Ren Xiaoyao. He stood in the boundless void, his Mysterious Black Daoist Robe fluttering in the wind, the dark golden Primordial Chaos cloud patterns on the hem flowing endlessly, as if they had come alive. The primordial Primordial Violet Qi around him surged like a vast ocean, intertwining with the Innate Realm Daoist aura emanating from the Cangwu Dao Fruit above his head, forming a purple-gold light curtain, its radiance boundless. As the Daoist aura flowed, it resonated with Heaven and Earth Resonance and earth, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and the sun and moon to lose their light. His gaze swept indifferently over the nine giants, his presence carrying the aura of the Heavenly Dao Realm expert looking down upon the Mortal World. His disdain and contempt were as if he were looking at a group of clowns. His tone was firm and resounding throughout the universe. "Although your combined forces are vast and overwhelming, they are not enough to make me Ren Xiaoyao, even slightly wary! It is only because the Cangwu Dao Fruit has just been fused and the Dao Foundation is not yet complete. I need to find the indestructible source to temper the Dao Foundation and solidify the foundation for my imperial path. Today, I will temporarily avoid your sharp edge. When I find the source and the Dao Foundation is fully formed, that will be the day when the nine immortal peaks collapse! At that time, I will reshape the Cang Heavenly Dao, break the monopoly of the nine peaks, make all immortals equal, let the Dao rhyme return to the heart, and restore clarity to the Immortal Realm of the Heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the last rays of light dissipated, and the primordial Primordial Violet Qi and Chaos Dao Charm swirling above the Cangwu Immortal Peak instantly vanished, as if they had never existed. The entire immortal peak fell into a deathly silence. The Primordial Chaos Dao Platform at the summit, devoid of Daoist aura, gradually dimmed, and weathered pebbles cascaded down, as if no powerful figure had ever resided there, and no Heavenly Dao had ever roared. Only an empty peak remained, standing silently between heaven and earth, silently recounting the confrontation that had just taken place.

The nine Peak Master' faces were ashen, their ashen expressions revealing disbelief, rage, and astonishment. They hadn't Ren Xiaoyao to be so arrogant, nor had they imagined he could escape silently under the combined pressure of the nine of them. The Thunder Prison Immortal Peak Master, with the most volatile temper, roared in fury, his voice shaking the heavens. He unleashed his Heaven-Splitting Sky-Splitting Thunder Hammer, a massive Innate Divine Lightning ten thousand feet thick, carrying the power to destroy everything. Like an enraged Thunder Dragon, it surged straight to the summit of Cangwu Immortal Peak, crashing into the empty Primordial Chaos Dao Platform. A deafening roar echoed as the platform shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions. Dust billowed, yet not a trace of Ren Xiaoyao's remaining aura could be detected. Only the scattered fragments revealed the Thunder Prison Immortal Peak Master's boundless rage.

"That scoundrel is cunning! He managed to sense our movements beforehand and slip away without a trace. He's utterly despicable!" The Jade Pool Peak Mistress's phoenix eyes widened, her anger reaching its peak. Seven -Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds surged around her, blindingly bright. The nine- Colorful Phoenix chariot she sat upon moved through the air, its wings flapping and stirring up gusts of wind. With a wave of her slender hand, billions of Yaochi Holy Water poured down, transforming into an endless water curtain that enveloped the entire Cangwu Immortal Peak. The Holy Water contained supreme Daoist principles for probing the origins of things, yet it couldn't detect Ren Xiaoyao. Her tone was filled with resentment and fury.

The Kunlun Peak Master frowned, his face ashen. He activated the Kunlun Mirror with all his might, its radiance growing ever more intense. Countless beams of light swept across billions of miles of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, from the Nine Heavens Cloud Peak to the Nine Netherworlds hells, from bustling immortal cities to desolate ancient domains, leaving no place untouched. Yet, he could not find even the slightest trace of Ren Xiaoyao. He said in a deep voice, "This boy possesses the Cangwu Dao Fruit, enabling him to draw upon the Origin Dao Charm of heaven and earth, connecting him to the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm of the Heavens. With the nine of us joining forces, our Dao Charm Skyrocketing, our power unparalleled. It is not surprising that he was able to sense our movements in advance and flee to avoid disaster. This boy's talent is heaven-defying, his combat power unmatched. His escape now must be to seek an unparalleled fortuitous opportunity to temper his Dao Foundation. If he succeeds and his Dao Foundation is perfected, his combat power will surely increase further, far surpassing today's. Our nine immortal peaks are in grave danger!"

"Hmph, within the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, there is only one supreme fortuitous opportunity that can help Quasi-Emperor level expert like him temper his Dao Foundation and solidify his path to becoming an Emperor!" The voice of the Netherworld Peak Master echoed from the endless black mist, chilling and piercing, carrying an all-knowing certainty. That voice penetrated the hearts of all, causing the surrounding immortal cultivators to feel a chill run through their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. "The Tu Bo Secret Realm! That is the burial place of the High Antiquity God of Earth, Tu Bo. The Secret Realm contains the Indestructible Earth Origin, the most profound and stable Origin Power in the world. It can temper Dao Foundation, stabilize one's Emperor body, and reverse the Fortune of one's Immortal Path. It is an unparalleled treasure for ascending to the Immortal Emperor realm. This boy's escape must be heading towards the indestructible source of the Tu Bo Secret Realm!"

These words jolted them awake. The nine Peak Master' eyes narrowed sharply, their expressions growing increasingly grim, their eyes filled with fear and solemnity. The Tu Bo Secret Realm was High Antiquity Forbidden Land of Immortal Realm of the Heavens, existing countless ages ago. It was formed from the body and primordial laws of the High Antiquity God of Earth, Tu Bo, after his fall. For millennia, the Secret Realm had been extremely dangerous. Not only did it contain the oppressive power of Tu Bo's Legacy laws, as heavy as mountains, making it difficult for cultivators to move an inch, but it was also guarded by countless Ancient Ferocious Beast and earth puppets, all of which were Tu Bo's... The lower-level divine Divine Beast are incredibly powerful, and the puppets are crafted from the Tu Bo Divine Bones, making them impervious to blades and spears. No one has ever dared to trespass here. However, this place is also the only supreme fortuitous opportunity within the Immortal Realm of the Heavens to temper Quasi-Emperor's Dao Foundation. If one can obtain the Indestructible Earth Origin, one can make up for the shortcomings in Dao Foundation and take another step closer to the Immortal Emperor realm. Ren Xiaoyao's escape at this moment must be for that Indestructible Earth Origin. If he succeeds in seizing and refining the Origin, Dao Foundation is perfected, when he returns, perhaps no one will be able to stop him, and the Nine Immortal Peaks will surely face annihilation!

"Chase!"

With a command from the Kunlun Peak Master, his voice was resolute and unwavering. The nine giants moved simultaneously, their peak Quasi -Quasi-Emperor Dao auras erupting forth, soaring into the sky, tearing through layers of void, transforming into nine streaks of light that traversed the heavens and earth at incredible speed, hurtling towards the Tu Bo Secret Realm. The nine Quasi-Emperor auras, like nine awakened Primordial Giant Dragon, roared and traversed the firmament, causing Star River to recede, the sun and moon to lose their light, the heavens and earth to tremble, and the void to shatter, leaving behind deep Space Cracks that could not heal for a long time, as if etching eternal scars into the universe.

With a million elite immortal soldiers, over nine hundred peak-level Great Luo cultivators, and tens of thousands of Immortal Venerable Venerables following closely behind, the vast army, like a black cloud, swept across the sky, blotting out the sun. A boundless Killing Intent soared into the heavens, staining half the sky red. Wherever it passed, countless immortal cultivators bowed their heads in submission, daring not to look up, not even daring to breathe. This army, capable of annihilating the Eternal Immortal Domain, carrying the determination to kill Ren Xiaoyao, sped towards the High Antiquity Forbidden Land Tu Bo Secret Realm, its immense power shaking the entire Immortal Realm of the Heavens.

At this moment, in the Far West Land the Immortal Realm of the Heavens, yellow sand filled the sky, howling winds whipped up towering sand waves, blotting out the sun and turning the world into a hazy yellow. The air here was thick with the profound Earth Dao Charm, ancient and vast, carrying the vicissitudes of countless ages. Every grain of sand contained pure earth spiritual power, and every gust of wind carried the oppressive power of the Daoist principles Tu Bo's Legacy, making ordinary cultivators hesitate to approach. Beneath the boundless yellow sand, the outline of an ancient, limitless Secret Realm faintly emerged. At the Secret Realm Entrance, Chaos Current swirled and surged endlessly, like boiling water. The stone walls at the entrance were inscribed with High Antiquity Earth Runes, each flowing with ancient spiritual light, each containing the immense power of the earth's origin, suppressing the Secret Realm Entrance and preventing outsiders from trespassing. This was the Eternal Forbidden Land — the Tu Bo Secret Realm.

A streak of purple light ripped across the sky, moving at incredible speed, surpassing the limitations of Law of Space. It appeared instantly before the Secret Realm Entrance, as if by Teleport. As the purple light dissipated, Ren Xiaoyao's figure slowly materialized. The bloodstains on his Mysterious Black Daoist Robe had long since dried, turning into dark red marks, which only added to his imposing, iron-blooded aura, making him appear like a war god emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Innate Realm Primordial Violet Qi surged around him, intertwining with the innate Daoist aura emanating from the Cangwu Dao Fruit atop his head, forming a purple-gold light curtain. As the light curtain swirled, it subtly resonated with the profound Earth Dao Charm of the surrounding earth, causing the yellow sand to churn and the runes to tremble, as if welcoming this uninvited guest.

Ren Xiaoyao raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the swirling yellow sand and Chaos Current, landing on the ancient, vast, and imposing Secret Realm. The profound Dao aura and chilling pressure emanating from the Secret Realm caused his own Dao aura to tremble slightly. This was the first time since his rise to power that he had felt such a dense primordial pressure, and he couldn't help but feel a little more cautious. But his eyes also revealed a sharp and resolute determination, a thirst for supreme fortuitous opportunity, an unwavering certainty of achieving Dao Foundation, and disdain for the nine giants.

"The Tu Bo Secret Realm, the Indestructible Earth Origin, today is the day when I, Ren Xiaoyao, achieve the Great Perfection of my Dao Foundation and become Half-Step Immortal Emperor!"

Ren Xiaoyao murmured, his voice soft yet resolute, carrying the Chaos Dao Charm, echoing through the swirling yellow sands for a long time. He stomped his foot on the ground, unleashing all the Primordial Chaos Dao principles around him. Primordial Violet Qi surged ten thousand feet, transforming into a purple-gold sword, its sharpness fully revealed. It shattered the Chaos Current and runic restrictions at the Secret Realm Entrance. The runes crumbled inch by inch under the sword, and the Chaos Current was torn apart, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the Secret Realm. Ren Xiaoyao's figure flashed, stepping into that ancient and mysterious High Antiquity Forbidden Land, disappearing into the yellow sands and Primordial Chaos.
