Six months later, Lu Yan'an slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the Blood Fiend Vortex before him. "Let's leave it at that for now! I've reached a bottleneck in my transformation." He could clearly feel that the strange energy within the Blood Fiend Qi was having less and less of a transformative effect on his body. "Continuing any further would be a waste of time!"

The concentration of malevolent energy around this Blood Fiend Vortex has reached an astonishing eight times, and the strange energy it contains is more than ten times greater! Only Lu Yan'an, relying on his Heart Power and spiritual cultivation, can cultivate here. Others, even Immortal Expert, would probably not be able to endure this environment!

Whoosh!

Lu Yan'an began to fly outwards, reaching the rock wall near the abyss, and then descended directly along the rock wall for hundreds of meters, continuing his descent towards the bottom of the giant pit.

Kilometers, kilometers...

The depth of the giant pit clearly exceeded its width, and the concentration of malevolent energy at the bottom was almost the same as that outside the pit.

At the bottom of the abyss, a figure sat cross-legged, eyes closed, suspended in mid-air. As if sensing the movement above, he suddenly opened his eyes! "Domain Rank? He can actually withstand the Blood Fiend Qi of this battlefield! Interesting." At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body, and a strange, blood-red streak of Flowing Light shot rapidly upwards from the bottom of the pit.

A crimson aura permeated the area at the bottom of the pit, obscuring even Lu Yan'an's exceptional archery skills, which could only penetrate to a range of a few hundred kilometers. Suddenly, Lu Yan'an felt a sense of unease, as if impending doom. He dared not hesitate and flew upwards at top speed, for a sharpshooter's sixth sense was completely trustworthy!

However, it was too late. A terrifying aura that sent chills down his spine instantly enveloped him!

"Boom..."

An immense pressure! It was like a world-destroying demon god, giving people a feeling of madness! Lu Yan'an knew that this was the enhancement brought about by the fusion of a large amount of Xueluo Crystal.

Call!

The surrounding space, spanning thousands of kilometers, instantly froze, feeling as if one were trapped in a swamp; the entire space instantly transformed into an endless swamp. Lu Yan'an desperately tried to fly upwards, but the pressure generated by the frozen space caused Lu Yan'an flight speed to decrease by a thousandfold; the pressure was unbelievably immense.

"Little guy, do you think you can escape?" A deep voice rang in Lu Yan'an's ears and mind.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an's expression changed, and he looked down towards the source of the sound. A blood-red figure flew from afar and landed swiftly in front of him.

"To be able to detect danger from such a distance with your perception, I must say, your sixth sense is incredibly powerful!" The giant immortal clad in dark red armor couldn't help but chuckle at Lu Yan'an's fleeing actions. Exposed to the perception of an Immortal Expert and still trying to escape? Absolutely impossible!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an's expression also turned somewhat grim. This was an insurmountable gap between Domain Lord- level life form and an Immortal life form, not a fault of his own!

"Want to live?" The immortal in blood-red armor looked at Lu Yan'an with a slight smile, but the smile was unsettling no matter how you looked at it.

"May I ask what your request is, sir?" Lu Yan'an bowed and asked, making the usual clasped hands gesture of a junior from the Xueluo World to a senior. He was now well aware that this native immortal did not want to kill him, otherwise he would never have wasted so much time talking to him.

"Hahahaha, a clever man, I love clever men the most!" The immortal in blood-red armor laughed maniacally. "However, if you can't pass my test, then you should just die!" His words were chilling, like a block of ice that would never melt!

"Madman!" Lu Yan'an cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on the surface, obediently waiting for him to continue.

"I!"

"Blood Venerable Gan Qi!" The Blood Armored Immortal stood in mid-air and spoke slowly, his voice echoing throughout the entire abyss of the giant pit. "What you need to do is survive the Blood God Child under my command!" As soon as he finished speaking, a figure silently appeared between Lu Yan'an and Blood Venerable Gan Qi.

"This is my Blood God Child. All you need to do is fight to stay alive, hahaha! And one more thing, he has World Rank peak strength! Hahaha!" Gan Qi laughed ferociously, and his words were chilling.

The Blood God Child before us, who appears like a puppet, is actually a terrifyingly powerful expert at the Peak World Lord!

"Trying to survive!" Laughing wildly, Gan Qi's figure slowly disappeared from Lu Yan'an's sight. However, Lu Yan'an's wildly beating senses reminded him that Gan Qi hadn't actually left; he had simply moved to another location to watch this deadly battle!

The instant the Gan Qi disappeared, a surge of World Energy suddenly rushed towards Lu Yan'an, suppressing him! That surging World Energy immediately brought Lu Yan'an a great sense of restraint.

Generally speaking, when Universe Level Domain Lord, the galaxy is completely swallowed by a black hole, and the supermassive black hole collapses to form a "singularity," just like the "Life Core" that appeared when Lu Yan'an broke through to the Domain Lord!

[I recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Everyone should give it a try!]

This singularity of Life Core, though extremely small, is incredibly heavy!

Logically speaking...

As an extremely small point that has devoured countless galaxies to form a "singularity," a world will gradually be born within it. This gestation will continue throughout the entire process from the first to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage Domain Lord! When the gestation is fully successful, a fundamental transformation will occur, and the gestated world will become a true world!

At that time, he will be the World Lord!

World Lord possesses a self-contained world within their body, capable of wielding "World Energy" with a mere wave of their hand. Furthermore, World Lord's world is a place where people can live, store items, and so on, just like the real world!

The World Energy is a method most commonly used by World Lords. They project their Internal World, and the vast World Energy can even directly twist the space within a radius of thousands of miles, changing everything!

The Domain Lord Ninth Stage and the First Stage Realm Lord represent a significant leap. Once one reaches the First Stage Realm Lord, one possesses the World Energy and the power to control a world, increasing one's strength by more than tenfold.

From a purely energy perspective...

The World Lord Third Stage is four times that of the First Stage Realm Lord; the sixth level of World Lord is four times that of the World Lord Third Stage; and the ninth level of World Lord is four times that of the sixth level!

Overall, in terms of energy, a ninth-level World Lord is more than 640 times stronger than Domain Lord Ninth Stage! The difference between the two, even just from the perspective of energy, is like heaven and earth! And on paper, Lu Yan'an has absolutely no chance of winning.

But Lu Yan'an was never the stereotypical genius, especially now that he had cultivated to the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, his strength was beyond the imagination of others. Otherwise, why would his exclusive mission include such an unrealistic side task as hunting immortals?

The World Energy carried by the Blood God Child's attack instantly pressed down. Under the pressure of the world, Lu Yan'an's strength in all aspects would be affected and reduced!

Swish!

Under the pressure of the World Energy, Lu Yan'an's figure on the scene suddenly became blurred, then multiplied into two, then four... until a total of 64 Lu Yan'an appeared! This scene even amazed Gan Qi, who was watching from the shadows. "Is this the law of space? No, no, each Clone has no physical form, this is the reuse of the Origin Law of Light! What a brilliant idea!"

Even Gan Qi, a powerful figure from the Immortal Temple, couldn't help but applaud Lu Yan'an's use of the Law of Light! Meanwhile, the Blood God Child opposite Lu Yan'an was clearly in a daze. The 64 light projections that appeared on the field caught him completely off guard, and his attack, which carried the power of the world, completely missed.

"Whoosh!"

A dazzling blade of light flashed, so brilliant and captivating that it seemed to manipulate the surrounding space, an invisible spatial force pressing down on the area around the Blood God Child. This spatial pressure was comparable to the oppressive force emanating from the Blood God Child's own world earlier!

However, Blood God Child showed no expression in the face of Lu Yan'an's stunning attack; only two ice crystals appeared beside his body.

"Clang!" Two ice crystals, carrying the World Energy, instantly collided with the blade that Lu Yan'an had swung. An irresistible force was transmitted to Lu Yan'an's body through his Ningfeng Blade.

"Whoosh!" Lu Yan'an's figure froze instantly, and then he was thrown away!

"Is this the strength of Peak World Lord? He is indeed not to be underestimated. It was a bit of a stretch to fight him with my strength held back!" Lu Yan'an thought to himself. If he were just an ordinary Peak World Lord, why would he hold back so much? The problem is that there is an Immortal Level being watching him closely. If he reveals too much strength and the other party discovers that he is actually from beyond the heavens, the trouble will be even greater!

"The sheep can only lose! Under normal circumstances, I have no chance of fighting back. This guy probably has some purpose, otherwise he would have made his own move long ago. Why would he watch this farce of cat and mouse?" Lu Yan'an. However, this was just an analysis and he could not be completely sure.

He had made two preparations for this. In the previous collision, his Demon Beast Clone, carrying its Original Core, turned into a grain of sand and landed on the abyss wall behind it, leaving himself a way out.

"Then let's continue!" After making sure his little actions were flawless, Lu Yan'an focused even more intently on his performance.
