Is a Plane Master a Landlord?

The Great Thousand World's originally stable planar barrier suddenly collapsed.

A vast, unimaginable dark rift was forcibly torn open, like a bleeding wound in the heavens.

Beyond the rift lay the faint outline of a Lower Plane of inferior rank.

What permeated from that world was not ordinary natural energy,

but an endlessly surging, twisted, writhing aura, filled with nauseating filth and ill omen.

There was no need for any investigation to determine that it was a Lower Plane that had long since been completely occupied and corrupted by the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan!

As far as the eye could see, that world, which might once have flourished, had become a true living hell.

Countless native lifeforms, whether intelligent races or ordinary birds and beasts,

had all been devoured by the Evil Clan's all-pervasive invasion, becoming nourishment for their sinister existence.

Even more terrifyingly, it was not merely living beings that had been ravaged.

Even the natural energy that formed the foundation of the world had been deeply contaminated by the Evil Clan's power,

turning black, viscous, and highly toxic.

This was no ordinary calamity, but an utterly irreversible catastrophe of destruction.

A world once brimming with life and hope, where all things thrived,

had thus marched toward total destruction and its final end amid boundless darkness and pain.

Those born in the Great Thousand World might never learn of or encounter such things in their entire lives if nothing unexpected happened,

but to certain Lower Planes, they were the most terrifying existence imaginable.

Once they discovered a Lower Plane that could be corrupted, the result would be the extermination of all life in that world.

The Martial Ancestor had also come from a Lower Plane, and his plane had once suffered an attack from the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

Yet not only had the Martial Ancestor successfully driven the Evil Clan away, he had personally slain the emperor of that Evil Clan force.

Although it had merely been one branch of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan,

the power they possessed was never something an ordinary Lower Plane could resist.

For the Martial Ancestor, who had risen from a Lower Plane, to accomplish such a feat was far beyond what anyone else from a Lower Plane could compare to.

However, most people from Lower Planes could not achieve that.

Even many who had already ascended, despite knowing that their homeland was being invaded by the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, still could not return.

They could only continue cultivating bitterly in the Great Thousand World with hatred in their hearts, barely surviving like homeless dogs!

At that moment, a four-colored radiance descended from the sky.

It contained not the slightest hint of power as it merged into the plane, spreading out to cover the entire Lower Plane.

The next instant, the earth shook violently, and cracks rapidly spread across the entire Lower Plane.

A chaotic sphere of light roughly a thousand zhang in size slowly rose from deep underground.

The chaotic light sphere pulsed gently like a heart, and every beat made the entire plane tremble.

Whenever it rose and fell, winds and clouds gathered, tides surged and ebbed, and the sun and moon revolved.

The next moment, the chaotic light sphere abruptly vanished.

The Extraterrestrial Evil Clan stationed in that Lower Plane vanished along with it.

"Just as I thought." A figure stepped out of the void, idly playing with a black command token in his hand.

The blood-red words "Demon-Slaying" were engraved upon it, with the words "Intermediate Demon-Slaying Master" at the bottom.

As long as one's strength met a certain standard, one could receive a Demon-Slaying Command from the Great Thousand Palace.

For every Extraterrestrial Evil Clan member slain, one could shatter a wisp of its demonic soul and pour it into the Demon-Slaying Command to obtain the corresponding Demon-Slaying Points.

These Demon-Slaying Points could be exchanged for many treasures at the Great Thousand Palace.

As long as one had enough Demon-Slaying Points, even Peerless Divine Abilities and the top twenty Supreme Dharma Bodies could be exchanged for!

One had to know that even ordinary Peerless Divine Abilities were no trivial possessions. Most Heavenly Sovereigns might not even possess one.

Furthermore, according to the Great Thousand Palace's rules, accumulating one thousand Demon-Slaying Points allowed one to advance from a Low-Rank Demon-Slaying Master to an Intermediate Demon-Slaying Master.

Accumulating three thousand allowed one to advance to a High-Rank Demon-Slayer.

After becoming a High-Rank Demon-Slayer, even if one was not a Heavenly Sovereign, the Great Thousand Palace would make an exception and grant them the title of guest elder.

Slaying an extraterrestrial expert at the Lower Earth Supreme level earned fifty Demon-Slaying Points.

Slaying one at the upper Earthly Sovereign level earned one hundred points, while an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection expert earned two hundred points.

Slaying a Demon Emperor earned three thousand points, while a Demon Emperor with the strength of an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign earned five thousand points.

If one slew a Heavenly Demon Emperor, one could obtain ten thousand Demon-Slaying Points.

Futu Yun's cultivation was only at the Heaven Transformation Realm, so theoretically, he was not qualified to obtain a Demon-Slaying Command.

However, his actual strength was already sufficient.

And coupled with his identity—did they not see so many Heavenly Sovereigns standing behind him?

Still, these Heavenly Sovereigns did not need to act personally.

They were only there as a precaution.

If combat power at the Demon Emperor level appeared, these Heavenly Sovereigns would need to intervene.

After all, the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign surpassed that of most Lower Planes.

Futu Yun's trump card could, at most, control Lower Planes.

Whether it was because he had broken through to the Heaven Transformation Realm or because he had completely integrated the White Dragon Continent into the Great Thousand World,

in any case, Futu Yun had obtained a portion of the Great Thousand World's authority, something even those Heavenly Sovereigns did not possess.

Though he could not be considered the Plane Master of the Great Thousand World, calling him a regional lord would not be excessive, would it?

At the very least, he could be considered a local landlord, with the White Dragon Continent as his power base.

Every continent that reached a certain scale contained a mysterious force known as Continental Power.

This power was incredibly miraculous. Not only could it transform one's body, it could also reshape one's foundation and forge a perfect base.

Most importantly, it could make a person more compatible with heaven and earth.

While improving one's comprehension, it could also increase the chance of successfully reaching the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

To every Earthly Sovereign, this held a fatal allure.

However, only Heavenly Sovereigns could mobilize Continental Power.

Moreover, given the scale of the Western Heavens Continent,

even after being nurtured by natural energy for several centuries, the Continental Power gathered would at most support three Sons of the Continent!

Although the White Dragon Continent had accumulated considerable foundations when it merged into the Great Thousand World,

it was still insufficient to nurture even one Son of the Continent!

Yet Futu Yun had sent this Continental Power into a Lower Plane.

After using the Four Divine Beasts Sealing Heaven Seal to seal the four energies of metal, wood, water, and fire within the Lower Plane,

he would then pour Continental Power at the Great Thousand World's level into the plane, forcibly elevating the Lower Plane.

If it were a Lower Plane that had already given birth to a Plane Spirit, the Plane Spirit would directly acknowledge him as its master.

If it were a Lower Plane that had yet to give birth to a Plane Spirit,

this Continental Power could also serve as a catalyst to directly nurture a Plane Spirit!

After all, this was World Origin at the level of the Great Thousand World!

Even the slightest bit of it was an invaluable treasure to these Lower Planes.

However, nurturing a Plane Spirit required a vast amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, since the Great Thousand World's Continental Power was merely the catalyst.

Yet there was no need to worry about spending more than was gained: during the process of nurturing a Plane Spirit, a Lower Plane would overflow with enormous amounts of energy.

And that energy would be enough to help an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection break through the heavenly barrier.

This did not mean that the origin of a Lower Plane's Plane Spirit was stronger than the Great Thousand World's Continental Power.

It was simply because a Plane Spirit gathered the energy of an entire plane.
