Blocking the Way

"We need to go deeper; we're almost at the Space Torrent Layer." Jiang Yao spread out his Shiwu Wings, nimbly flying forward through the Spatial Turbulence, dodging Space Fragment and particle streams like a nimble fish.

What came into view was a vast God Kingdom God Kingdom that had been nearly half devoured, its sections constantly collapsing and annihilating under the erosion of Spatial Turbulence.

Jiang Yao looked at the magnificent God Kingdom with some surprise. "This must be at least a God Kingdom that King-level Immortal, right?"

Even the damaged God Kingdom has a diameter of three to four hundred million kilometers, which is probably only possible for a God Kingdom that has achieved King-level Immortal.

In the Great Rift of the Tianshang Secret Realm, countless God Kingdom Remains, but powerful and immortal God Kingdom were still very rare. Firstly, the number of King-level Immortal was not large in any race, and the death of even one was a serious matter.

Secondly, the more powerful and immortal God Kingdom is, the deeper it is located within the God Kingdom Layer; some God Kingdom can even enter the Space Torrent Layer.

The deeper one goes, the more powerful the Space Storm and particle streams become, and the faster the God Kingdom is eroded. Often, it is completely destroyed before it is even drawn into the Great Rift by the Void Tide.

If one were to encounter the remains of King-level Immortal God Kingdom Remains, the rewards would often be substantial.

Jiang Yao retracted the Shiwu Wings, took out the white Phantom Mask and covered his face, instantly transforming into an Immortal God engulfed in flames.

The Phantom Mask can perfectly simulate one's aura, making it difficult to see through unless one makes a move. It has dominated the Outer-Region Battlefield the realm and various secret realms. Even the Zhenxuan King, known as the Thousand-Face King, was only exposed when he encountered the Immortal Zerg Mother Emperor.

Moreover, Jiang Yao's own strength is no less than that of Marquis Immortal. As long as he doesn't use his signature attack methods, such as the Shiwu Wings, he will basically not be recognized.

Without the protection of Immortal Divine Power God Kingdom power, Jiang Yao transformed into a streak of fire and entered the God Kingdom without encountering any obstacles.

Flames descended upon the God Kingdom like a comet, and the aura of the Immortal God caused countless ferocious beasts and monsters living on the continent to raise their heads in vigilance and fear, looking up at the sky.

These ferocious beasts and demonic creatures were all enormous, with most of them possessing the aura of World Lord Level. Even World Lord level experts would be in danger of losing their lives if they entered the God Kingdom. However, these native inhabitants could completely disregard Immortal Expert.

The detector in Jiang Yao's hand beeped, "There are other Immortal God."

The Large Probe in his hand had a detection radius of ten million kilometers and 500,000 points, which was considered a low-end detector. Firstly, he didn't have the money, and secondly, he wasn't going to venture into Outer-Region Battlefield or dangerous secret realms, so Jiang Yao didn't buy a high-end detector.

The Great Rift is filled with the God Kingdom Remains, whose masters are long dead. Even if there were Immortal God or powerful beings in the original God Kingdom, they would not have stayed there and would have left long ago. So, while it may be dangerous for the realm lords, for the Immortal God, the danger mainly comes from other explorers, not from the God Kingdom themselves.

He wasn't surprised that someone had already gotten there first. Although the God Kingdom Remains seemed to have been drawn to the vicinity of the Great Rift for only a short time by the Void Tide, there were many explorers in the Great Rift, including some Immortal Expert who were specifically exploring the depths of the God Kingdom Layer that world lords and some Ordinary Immortal dared not venture into.

The Immortal God who can explore this Space Interlayer that is close to the Space Torrent Layer are often powerful beings who have been granted the Marquis Immortal or are close to Marquis-level. Even if they are not Marquis Immortal, they must have powerful protective treasures, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the particle storm and the powerful Space Fragment.

At the same time, other detectors, which were basically no Immortal God than Jiang Yao's, also detected Jiang Yao.

Without any delay, Jiang Yao flew straight towards a certain direction, the direction indicated by the resonance of the Star Core's tremors.

Along the way, the Immortal God who observed Jiang Yao's direction either sneered, scoffed, sighed, or completely ignored him, focusing only on plundering treasures in their own territory, not even letting Immortal Crystal go.

Before long, Jiang Yao saw a colossal mountain range rising into the sky, its peak even approaching the Spatial Turbulence layer.

"This is it." Jiang Yao stared confidently at the mountain range ahead, the intensity of the Star Core resonance in his World Ring had reached its peak.

"Brother!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yao stopped alertly, watching as a yellow light shot into the sky and blocked his way.

It was a brown-skinned giant with three heads and six arms, nearly 10 meters tall, wearing semi-transparent armor, exuding an astonishing aura, with strength at least above that of High-level Immortal Military Lord.

"Hehe." The Three-Headed Giant maintained a safe distance from Jiang Yao, his expression somewhat naive. "Brother, I see you want to explore this Divine Mountain?"

Jiang Yao was secretly on guard, but smiled faintly and said, "So what if it is?"

The Three-Headed Giant shook his head. "Hey, it seems you're new here, brother. Don't you know this Divine Mountain already has an owner?"

"Owner?"

"During the exploration of the God Kingdom Remains in this Tianshang Secret Realm, most of the lower-level beings below the Immortal level explore in teams, while the Immortal God are mostly lone wolves. To avoid unnecessary conflicts, if multiple Immortal God are exploring the same God Kingdom Remains, designated areas will be set up."

The Three-Headed Giant sighed, "This Divine Mountain is located at the center of the entire God Kingdom, so it must be the central hub, the place where the precious treasures of the fallen King-level Immortal are located. Therefore, two powerful Marquis Immortal have already occupied it. Not to mention you, any other Marquis Immortal who want to enter the Divine Mountain will be driven away by them. If it weren't for my strong ability to protect myself, I would have died at the hands of those Marquis Immortal long ago."

"I don't think you're Marquis Immortal either. Immortal Army Lord like us can't get good territories at all. Even if we do get precious treasures or inheritances, they'll snatch them away from us Marquis- Marquis Immortal." The Three-Headed Giant said indignantly, "But in the end, territorial acquisition still depends on strength. I know there's a place where the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk is growing, but it's not mature yet. It will be ready soon, at most in another hundred years or ninety years. It's just that it's been occupied by three Huanchi Tribe Immortals."

Jiang Yao frowned. Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk is a precious plant life form that can assist Immortal God in cultivating Undying Body. It is very valuable, with a single plant worth at least five million Hunyuan. If it is of the highest quality, it can sell for tens of millions of Hunyuan Unit.

The Three-Headed Giant, thinking Jiang Yao was interested, quickly transmitted their voices. "Those three immortals who occupied Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk are all at the Immortal Army Lord Peak, just like me. However, I am stronger than any of them, but I am still not strong enough to deal with all three. Brother, you are here, so you must be at least at the Immortal Army Lord Peak, and you must have something to protect you."

"If you just help me keep one of them occupied, I'm confident I can drive them away. Then, when the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk matures, we'll split it equally."

The Three-Headed Giant sneered inwardly as they spoke, "Once we drive away those three immortal Huanchi Tribe, the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk will naturally be mine for all to keep. With the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk, I can achieve Undying Body."

He wasn't worried about turning from hunter to prey. His armor was an extremely precious treasure, something even Marquis Immortal couldn't do to him. Besides, the person in front of him, covered in flames, was clearly not Marquis Immortal. Moreover, he had a trump card that was enough to instantly kill an Immortal Army Lord, and even severely injure Marquis Immortal. It was just a pity that two Marquis Immortal occupied this Divine Mountain, so his trump card could only be used once and against one person.

Once he obtains the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk, he can immediately activate his trump card. Even if the Fire Deity has a protective treasure, it will be severely injured. At that time, he can escape the God Kingdom before the other Marquis Immortal can seize it.

He cannot use his trump card lightly. Using it once would severely damage his divine body and significantly reduce his strength. If he uses his trump card before the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk matures, and other Immortal Expert come to seize his territory while he waits for it to mature, he will have gained nothing. Therefore, he first needs to find an ally to drive away the Huanchi Tribe immortals, and then discard the ally after obtaining the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk.

Jiang Yao shook his head. "No, I'm more interested in the treasures within this Divine Mountain."

It wasn't that he didn't want the Youchen Thousand Illusion Silk; after all, it was a priceless treasure. The resources he needed to cultivate the Crimson Thunder Grass into Immortal God were terrifyingly numerous, and he certainly couldn't have too much money.

However, the most pressing matter is still the suspected fragment of the "Shixing Canon".

Having said that, it transformed into Flowing Light once more and flew towards the majestic mountain range not far away.

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch." The Three-Headed Giant stared at Jiang Yao's figure, his originally honest expression turning sinister. "But I told him that this Divine Mountain is occupied by Marquis Immortal, and he still dared to go. He probably has a powerful protective treasure or some kind of trump card, just like me, and is not afraid of being killed by a Marquis Immortal..."

"Hehe, that's even better. Maybe it will cause some trouble for those two Marquis Immortal. That will be my opportunity. Even if I am expelled, I will definitely be injured. Hehe, the treasures in this Great Rift are not limited to the gains from the God Kingdom Remains. In the struggle for interests, even if I am ruthless, the Xuanshang Universe Country or the five major powers will not pursue the matter."

Halfway up the majestic Divine Mountain, a man in gray armor, whose body was covered in purple scales and who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes as the detector began to sound an alarm.

"Someone's coming?" The Purple-Scaled Man's face was grim, like a giant beast ready to pounce at any moment. After a while, his expression softened, and he frowned slightly. "Immortal Army Lord? Hmph, so you're new here. No wonder you dare to come here."

The Purple-Scaled Man wore a fierce smile, "It's been a long time since I've made a move. I hope this newcomer is as strong as those three giants, or that I won't accidentally kill him."

The Tianshang Secret Realm is neither Universe Country nor Junk Starfield. It is normal for people to kill each other for profit here. The mortality rate of World Lord Level is very high. Although the mortality rate of Immortal God is very low, they do exist.

The Purple-Scaled Man sneered as he transformed into a phantom. Without any particularly exquisite techniques, he forcefully unleashed countless beams of incomparably powerful Immortal Divine Power, forming thousands of pillars of light that flew towards Jiang Yao.

He actually unleashed all the Immortal Divine Power within his body. However, as long as Immortal God doesn't burn or annihilate his divine power, the power will return to his body after being unleashed. Moreover, he is Undying Body, so even Peak Marquis would find it difficult to annihilate his divine power.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Countless beams of Immortal Divine Power pierced the sky, forming a vast net that left Jiang Yao with nowhere to escape.

Jiang Yao, who was flying midway, was not flustered at all. If he wasn't afraid of revealing his identity, he would Teleportation there directly.

The flames around him erupted like a bucket of oil had been poured on them, bursting into a crimson-gold flame.

Raging flames!

It looked as if it had transformed into a miniature star!

Then his body instantly melted away, never to return to its original shape!

The Innate Secret Technique "Fire Fusion"!

Jiang Yao, whose physical genes have reached 160 times the original strength, no longer needs to consume the Origin Law of Fire treasure to use "Fire Fusion" again; he can use his own body to do so directly.

In an instant, Jiang Yao reached the critical speed of light, tracing a wondrous trajectory as he broke through the net of thousands of Immortal Divine Power pillars.

"What?!"

The Purple-Scaled Man's eyes widened. Even Immortal God who could physically traverse the Dark Universe would need time and enough space to accelerate to the speed of light.

Such a situation, where one can instantly reach the speed of light, either requires cultivating an extremely powerful flight technique, which necessitates a very high level of understanding of the Origin Law of Space, or possessing an extremely precious flight treasure. Both of these situations are extremely rare, and usually only a few King-level Immortal can achieve this.

However, many powerful King-level Immortal can Teleportation, making such secret techniques and treasures somewhat impractical.
