In the Wulong Star Field, ripples spread across the dark starry sky, and a silver, streamlined spaceship appeared out of thin air, with a cluster of palaces standing not far away beneath the stars.

"Rumble~~~"

The main gate of the palace complex opened, and the four leading officials, along with a large group of attendants and guards, came out to greet them. The group gathered together in the silent starry sky.

"Your Prince Jiang Yao," the red-bespectacled King Longjue said warmly, "Your Highness arrived so quickly. Let me introduce you. This is King Danian of the First Universe Bank... and this is..."

"The King Yanzhu, representing the Giant Axe Coliseum, is at a crucial stage in cultivating his secret technique, so he did not come," said King Longjue.

Seeing that Jiang Yao seemed to have no complaints, the four officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. King Longjue secretly rejoiced, realizing that not letting the King Yanzhu out was the right decision; they couldn't afford to take any risks.

Jiang Yao, sensing the slightly obsequious behavior of King Longjue King Danian, couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. Why did he feel like the chairman and crown prince of a company inspecting a branch office? Did these people really think he was the disciplinary inspector of Virtual Universe Company?

In reality, Jiang Yao was only unable to accept the slavery and the large-scale slaughter of lower-level humans. He had little interest in monitoring the Virtual Universe Company, cleaning up the gray interest chain, or protecting the important assets of the five major forces from being lost. In fact, he himself was one of those who planned to take advantage of the situation.

"I came to the Wulong Star Field only to buy the Immortal Weapon Remnants, and incidentally to hunt for treasures in the Trash Mountain," Jiang Yao said with a smile.

King Longjue seemed to become even more enthusiastic. "Haha, then we won't disturb Your Highness any longer. I have prepared the million Hunyuan Unit Immortal Weapon Fragments you requested. I have prepared a total of 1,000 units. In the Junk Starfield, the value of each unit is roughly 10,000 Hunyuan Unit. You can choose 100 units to take away."

"In addition, there's a medium-sized World Ring from Taobao."

King Longjue took out a silver-white ring. "There's no way around it, this is the rule. Purchasing goods worth 1 million Hunyuan Unit only comes with a medium-sized World Ring to use for treasure hunting in 'Trash Mountain'."

Jiang Yao nodded and accepted the ring and metal plaque.

After watching Jiang Yao travel into the Dark Universe aboard a spaceship from the Wulong Star Field, King Longjue sighed, "I hope His Prince Jiang Yao will not encounter any accidents here."

The newly appointed King Yinge laughed and said, "King Longjue is overthinking it. Each of the Nine Great Trash Star Fields is guarded by Venerable. Once there is any movement, the alert system will detect it immediately, and the Universe Venerable can descend to any place in the Wulong Star Field."

Countless fragments of immortal weapons float in the starry sky, stretching as far as the eye can see. Some are hundreds or thousands of meters long, while others are as thin as a needle. They vary in size and shape.

"Lord Jiang Yao, these gathered fragments and remnants form a unit, corresponding to one of the 1,000 metal tokens in your possession," the White-Robe Guide said respectfully.

Another white-robed man standing nearby chuckled, "The fragments and remnants of immortal weapons that King Longjue arranged for you, Lord Jiang Yao, are absolutely top-grade."

After Jiang Yao nodded, he immediately released his mental power. After comprehending the Fifth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele, his will and consciousness had been integrated with the "Annihilation Intent". The mental power with the Annihilation Intent permeated and explored every corner of the Immortal Weapon Remnants Mountain like a drizzle.

Meanwhile, the two leaders beside them felt their hair stand on end; the overwhelming sense of Destruction made their Inner World tremble.

The two exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They were both powerful experts at the ninth level of the Realm Lord, but this genius, who was clearly only at the Domain Lord level, made them feel powerless simply by releasing his mental power. They had received many geniuses from the five major forces, but none of them had made them feel so helpless.

Jiang Yao, however, paid no attention to the feelings of the two leaders, but was completely immersed in a mysterious state of mind.

The sense of Space-Time Annihilation acted as a thread, connecting him to countless illusions. Each fragment of an immortal weapon was a different illusion, some near, some far, and countless fragments flashed before his eyes.

Those were fragments of time and space from Outer-Region Battlefield, whether it was a one-on-one duel to the death, a greedy and frenzied pursuit, or a group battle with roars and howls.

One after another, immortal weapons clashed, fought, slaughtered, collided, and were torn to pieces in the process, ultimately Destruction in bloodshed and carnage.

Along with the immortal weapons, countless cosmic life forms and powerful beings from billions of races also met their Destruction.

All moments in time were frozen at the instant the immortal weapon was destroyed!

In an instant, Jiang Yao's will seized that fulcrum, that opportunity, extracting a common idea from all illusions, all fragments of time and space, and all immortal weapons being destroyed or being destroyed—

Destruction!

The Destruction of all things!

Then all the fragments of spacetime also Destruction; this was the Destruction of spacetime!

The destruction of countless immortal weapons and the annihilation of countless fragments of time and space gave rise to an unprecedented sense of Destruction, so ferocious and terrifying that even Jiang Yao felt a sense of loss of control.

But Jiang Yao was prepared, and at this moment he once again visualized the Sixth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele in his sea of consciousness.

The tail of a mysterious monster appears and disappears in the chaos and haze, like a fleeting glimpse of a great being at a certain moment.

In the next instant, the long tail transformed into a sharp sword, wielding a fierce and terrifying intent of Destruction.

Jiang Yao opened his eyes, and a gray-white, chaotic phantom sword appeared in his hand. From the magnificent mountain of fragments of immortal weapons before him, a powerful artistic conception also soared into the sky, echoing and resonating with the sword shadow in Jiang Yao's hand.

In the next instant, the sword shadow in Jiang Yao's hand disappeared, and the mountain of fragments and remains of the immortal weapon returned to calm, as if the sense of Destruction and resonance just now was just an illusion.

But the horrified expressions of the two white-robed guides beside them indicated that what had just happened was not an illusion.

Jiang Yao was overjoyed. "That must have been the specific form of the Super Divine Weapon I'm going to forge. It's a sword! According to the records in <The Youyuan True Interpretation> and <The Guiyi Secret Canon>, I should have just entered the stage of comprehending the Sixth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele. I can start forging the Super Divine Weapon now!"

He already had the opportunity to comprehend the Sixth Diagram when he used the lightning power of the Immortal Crimson Thunder Grass to break through the Crimson Thunder God Prison in the Yuanhua Secret Realm.

"The biggest obstacle hindering the improvement of the Dao of Combining the Space-Time Law is not the cultivation of the Annihilation Intent, but the insufficient Law Comprehension of Law of Time and Space," Jiang Yao frowned in thought.

"My will and consciousness have undergone three transformations in the Xu Yuan Space and one transformation on the Nine Star Sea Stone Stairs. My comprehension is definitely among the best of human geniuses. Furthermore, with the inheritances of <Zhenhuang> and Years, my speed in cultivating the Law of Time and space is already quite fast. If I wanted to accelerate that further..."

"Only the Great Rift of the Tianshang Secret Realm has occurred!" Jiang Yao thought to himself, "Almost all the powerful figures who follow the Cosmic School have cultivated in the Tianshang Secret Realm."

An excited Jiang Yao soon boarded a standard spaceship from the Wulong Star Field and surveyed all the fragments and wreckage of immortal weapons prepared by King Longjue, selecting one hundred units from a thousand.

Then began my treasure hunt through the Trash Mountain.

The Trash Mountain truly deserves to be called 'garbage'; the vast majority of it consists of worthless fertilizer remnants, but there are also some badly broken fragments of weapons or armor.

Having already grasped some understanding of the Sixth Diagram of the Universe Chaos Stele, Jiang Yao, with his even stronger Annihilation Intent, was able to evoke fragments of time and space from before the destruction of many weapon fragments. He could even learn what specific weapon fragments looked like before their destruction, what laws they followed, and even vaguely sense what races possessed them, provided that they were races and life forms he had seen or knew.

"Huh?" Jiang Yao stopped in his tracks, his mental power locking onto an inconspicuous Black Fragment, which looked like a piece of some kind of shell.

In that fleeting fragment of time and space, he saw a very familiar figure.

The Yan God Race, it seems to be a Yan God Race Realm Lord!

This branch of the race that separated from humans is quite famous within Human Territory, and Jiang Yao is naturally quite familiar with it.

The Yan God Race... Black Fragment...

Jiang Yao was startled and somewhat excited, "Could it be the armor of the Yan God Race?"

But then a sense of disappointment arose. He took the black carapace fragment in his hand, but his body did not react, nor did the fragment. No matter how he tried to probe it with his mental power, Origin Energy, or the World Force the Holy Star Stone, there was no response.

Although I had expected it, the feeling of knowing that a treasure trove is right in front of you, but not being able to recognize or use it, is still quite unpleasant.

Only at this moment would Jiang Yao feel an overwhelming sense of regret, regretting that he hadn't transmigrated into Earth Humans.

This is a treasure that, once integrated into the body, can generate thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times, the World Lord Power, reaching the threshold of King-level. Compared to it, the Holy Star Stone seems so insignificant.

"Never mind, I'll take it for now and give it to Luo Feng later. It's a favor, after all." Jiang Yao's mood quickly returned to normal. "Hmm, let's keep looking. I remember the General Armor of silver fragments..."

Of course, finding the fragments of the Yan God Race Battle Armor was not Jiang Yao's main purpose for this trip.

What he was truly searching for was a fragment containing the secret methods of the second or fourth chapter of the "Shixing Canon".

Jiang Yao had been paying close attention to the reaction of the Yedier Inheritance Communication Talisman, but unfortunately, as time passed, a year quickly went by, and the Star Core still showed no reaction.

The longest a Taobao site can collect all the Trash Mountain is a year.

Unwilling to give up, Jiang Yao purchased another two years of Taobao time, but still came up empty-handed.

"It seems the Wulong Star Field is gone. Next, I'll have to visit the other eight Junk Starfield one by one." Although Jiang Yao still held onto hope, a shadow had fallen over his heart.

That means that even if there were fragments of the <Shixing Canon> in the Nine Great Trash Star Fields, they had already been taken away.

Jiang Yao is not the only Human Race to possess the Yedier Inheritance Token. Although the number is small, there must be other Communication Talisman holders, and most of them are King-level Immortal.

Among the Human Race who possessed the Communication Talisman, was Jiang Yao the only one who, by chance, encountered something like the Silver Cloth containing a portion of the "Shixing Canon"?

The existence of Yousa, the Invincible King-level king of the Yongwu Race Clan who exchanged the contents of the <Shixing Canon> with him, proves that there are many Communication Talisman holders like Jiang Yao who are searching for fragments of the <Shixing Canon>.

If other Communication Talisman holders within the Human Race have encountered something similar to the Silver Cloth, they would certainly place their hopes of finding the next fragment on the Nine Great Trash Star Fields.
