In the Dark Universe, a fish-shaped F-class spaceship is moving rapidly forward.

"Junior Brother, we are heading to the Xueluo World. We've already reached 50 times the speed of light and are expected to arrive in three months," Venerable Gui Yi Lu Yan'an. "I will let you know when we're almost there. You can go and rest now."

"Okay." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly. Having just used the Nutrient Capsule to elevate himself to the ninth level of the Domain Lord, Lu Yan'an did need time to adapt to his current strength.

Having become familiar with the Spiritual Force and Origin Force of Domain Lord level, as well as the Heart Power of the fourth realm, "Mortal Dust," three months passed quickly.

"Junior Brother, immediately begin the Cosmic Shuttle and return to the Primal Universe." Venerable Gui Yi smiled as he woke Lu Yan'an, who was in a meditative state. At the same time, the spaceship's control room echoed with a countdown to the space travel. Ten seconds later, the entire spaceship began to vibrate slightly, and soon everything returned to calm. The spaceship had arrived at its destination.

"Virtualize the exterior scenery," Venerable Gui Yi commanded.

Lu Yan'an's eyes lit up as the surrounding scenery shifted, revealing the void outside.

"How beautiful! It's just like the Void Palace guarding Mingguang Star!" Lu Yan'an exclaimed. Previously, the outside world was shrouded in a thin mist, and various fragments of void dust made it look even more Meng Huan. In the distance, there was an incomparably tall palace, which was suspended in the void.

"Hahaha, this palace is called the Tian Shi Palace. Some of our Virtual Universe Company's super experts are cultivating here and are also responsible for monitoring the Xueluo World," Venerable Gui Yi introduced. "Not far from the Tian Shi Palace, there is a large area that has been cleared, enough for spaceships to accelerate their Cosmic Shuttle."

"By the way, the Palace Master of the Lord of Tian Shi Palace and the Void Palace Master you just mentioned are close friends. Both of them are top-tier experts within my Virtual Universe Company!"

"If you successfully complete the mission, you will inevitably have to deal with the Lord of Tian Shi Palace."

"I'll take you this far! It's not far from the Xueluo World; you'll have to rely on your own spaceship."

"Understood!" Lu Yan'an nodded.

Wow!

The hatch opened, and a figure dressed in all-black armor and boots, carrying a shield and War Blade, flew directly out of the spaceship into the void.

"The Tian Shi Palace." Lu Yan'an stood in the void, glanced at the palace in the distance, and then waved his hand. An E-class spaceship appeared beside him, which was the Lord Shen's trump card for saving his life.

Inside the F-class spaceship Venerable Gui Yi's eyes lit up upon seeing the ship. "I didn't expect my junior brother to be able to get his hands on an E-class spaceship. He's only a Domain Lord now, right? He's quite wealthy!"

"Ship disguise simulation, simulate ordinary meteorite fragments." Lu Yan'an flew into the E-class ship and gave the command to the main control AI.

"Receive."

The E-class spaceship's appearance changed, quickly transforming into a dark gray, seemingly ordinary meteorite fragment, inconspicuous in the void, before rapidly flying towards the Xueluo World at an astonishing speed.

Standing in the control room, Lu Yan'an looked ahead.

In the distance, there was an incredibly vast, almost endless continent suspended in the void, shrouded in a layer of clouds.

This is the Xueluo World!

"We will enter the outer cloud layer in one hour."

"Hmm." Lu Yan'an nodded slightly.

The Xueluo World has welcomed another visitor from outer space!

Half an hour later.

The E-class spaceship, its exterior designed to resemble meteorite fragments, finally broke into the outermost cloud layer of the Xueluo World.

"We can't go any further!" With a thought, Lu Yan'an flew out of the spaceship's hatch and directly put the E-class spaceship into his Space Ring.

"The Xueluo World has Eighteen Cloud Layers in the sky." Whether in the original work or in the introduction of the exclusive cultivation mission, there is a general introduction to the Xueluo World. There are eighteen layers of clouds in the sky of the Xueluo World. The higher you go, the greater the pressure. Only Universe Level cultivator can pass through these eighteen layers of clouds on their own.

However, the natives of the Xueluo World could only fly up to the 18th floor at most, and dared not fly any further.

Because they knew... the "extraterrestrial race" would kill all the natives who flew Xueluo World; no one who flew out of the 18th cloud layer had ever returned to the ground alive.

"Don't worry about being in the void."

"But in these clouds, we might encounter the natives of the Xueluo World." Lu Yan'an, dressed in Black Battle Armor and boots, carrying War Blade and shield, looked like a standard and ordinary warrior from the Xueluo World. From the 18th cloud layer, Lu Yan'an plummeted downwards under the terrifying gravity.

Speak of the devil, and he appears!

A domineering Spiritual Force swept across the 18th cloud layer. The next moment, a Spiritual Force locked onto Lu Yan'an!

"Someone's here? And a mere Domain Rank kid at that?" A questioning voice came from the sky.

Locked onto by this Spiritual Force Lu Yan'an felt as if he were being pricked by thorns, and his entire body froze in mid-air. At the same time, he secretly groaned in his heart, "Is my jinx really that accurate?"

Suddenly, about 100 kilometers in front of Lu Yan'an, a towering figure stood suspended in mid-air. He was dressed in a blood-red robe, with long, blood-red hair flowing freely. His eyes were an eerie blood-red! The entire figure exuded a bloody aura, as if behind him lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood. That bloody scent made one's soul tremble.

"What a terrifying figure." Lu Yan'an's eyes narrowed. This native expert was truly frightening; the aura emanating from him even affected the surrounding space.

"Domain Rank being appearing in this 18th cloud layer... could it be an extraterrestrial race? Never mind that for now, let's capture you first." The tall, Blood Robe man stood in mid-air and spoke slowly, his voice echoing through the clouds.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an's expression changed drastically! He immediately increased his descent speed, attempting to escape.

"Still trying to run? Looks like you really are from the extraterrestrial race!" The Blood Robe Immortal immediately confirmed upon seeing Lu Yan'an's reaction. "Little guy, meeting me is your bad luck!"

His hands formed a strange seal, and then a terrifying wave burst forth from the Blood Robe immortal's body, instantly enveloping Lu Yan'an.

Within the Blood Qi Domain, it resembled a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The environment was incredibly oppressive, and every now and then a thick bolt of lightning would fall from the horizon. As the lightning struck, the surrounding area was faintly filled with crisscrossing electric snakes, just like an ancient battlefield filled with thunder and lightning.

In the distance, the Blood Robe, immortal, and tyrannical Tong Kong stared intently at Lu Yan'an, his majestic voice echoing throughout the entire realm. "Alien Race! They shall be slain!"

Thunder roared, and dazzling lightning illuminated the world as if it were daytime, perfectly revealing the immortal, ferocious expression on the Blood Robe figure.

That murderous intent from hell instantly spread out.

Lu Yan'an stared intently at the terrifying figure in the distance.

This was the first time he had encountered an existence of this caliber attacking him. When truly facing such an existence, the terrifying pressure was suffocating! This was also a dimensional reduction attack from a higher dimension by Immortal Level being!

Although in the original work, unparalleled geniuses like Kedi and City Lord Luo were able to kill Marquis-level Immortal at the Peak World Lord, it creates a misconception that defeating Immortal God head-on is nothing special.

It's important to know that the ninth level of the Yan Shen Armament in the original work is called "Immortal Can Also Be Defeated," which only means that it can be defeated and its life can be preserved, not that it can be "defeated."

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.]

Of course, the "Immortal Can Also Be Defeated" move also has different levels of power. Moreover, the effect of the move is completely different when used on the 13th, 14th, and 15th floors of the Tongtian Bridge. Generally, one needs to reach the 15th floor of the Tongtian Bridge to Law Comprehension before it is possible to defeat an Ordinary Immortal with this move!

What does the 15th level of the Tongtian Bridge mean? That's the threshold for Marquis Immortal! And it's only possible if the Immortal God opposite is just an ordinary Immortal God! Generally speaking, Peak World Lord needs to overcome two thresholds in terms of laws to have a chance of defeating Ordinary Immortal one level higher than them. In other words, World Lord needs to comprehend the laws to the level of the Marquis Immortal to defeat Ordinary Immortal!

Judging from the intensity of the aura emanating from this Blood Robe- Robed Immortal, it's even stronger than that of Hisoka Immortal, the leader of Lu Yan'an's Guard Army. This means that this Blood Robe Immortal is at least a peak military lord level expert! With Lu Yan'an's current ninth-tier Domain Lord level strength, how can he possibly fight such an expert?

"Aren't you going to struggle?" The Blood Robe stared at Lu Yan'an, a cruel smile on his face.

"You're right, I should definitely give it a try!" Lu Yan'an had forcibly suppressed his Heart Power panic, and slowly took out his custom-made compound bow, nocked an arrow, and said, "Then you can try this shot!"

Having said that, the arrow, imbued with all his Heart Power, shot towards the Blood Robe like a wild horse! And after the arrow was fired, Lu Yan'an charged towards the edge of the Blood Robe's territory without looking back.

With a "bang," Lu Yan'an actually broke through the Blood Robe's domain blockade by force!

On the other side, Blood Robe, who had been laughing savagely at the approaching arrow, suddenly noticed a crystalline object attached to the end of the arrow. His scalp tingled, and his senses screamed that this crystal posed a life-threatening danger!

He swiftly changed his direction of movement in an attempt to dodge the arrow, but it was completely useless; the arrow, imbued with his Heart Power, had a tracking effect! Finally, the arrow and the Blood Robe drew closer and closer. When they were ten kilometers away, he could no longer bear the pressure of death and unleashed a blade of light!

The arrow collided with the blade's edge, instantly unleashing a devastating force! An area spanning thousands of kilometers was instantly engulfed in flames.
