Strife Among the Five Halls at the Light Domain's Deep Root

Before the Deep Root entrance, the five great temples form a ring beneath the Milky Way Falls.

The core elders of each hall stood at the very front, like five ancient pillars supporting the sky of the Void Obliteration Domain. Under the watchful eyes of everyone—

Within the array of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, a figure in a black and gray robe slowly stepped forward.

His footsteps were silent; not even the air vibrated in response.

When he reached the center of the arena, the entire world automatically fell into a three-breath "silent blank."

He is none other than Jian Wuxin, the Grand Elder of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, Jian Wuxin master of the Silent Mystery Realm Supreme Realm.

Countless people held their breath in hushed silence. Legend has it that this elder, countless ages ago, One-Heart Stillness Assault."

This plunged tens of thousands of miles of territory into a silent night for three days and nights.

He simply smiled gently, facing the Chaos Return to Oneness Palace before him.

Before the Chaos Formation, a figure in a gray-blue robe slowly stepped out.

His aura was as steady as the deep tides of the ocean, and chaotic patterns flowed slowly beneath his feet.

The laws of heaven and earth seemed to sway gently under his influence. He was—

Li Jiangfeng, the Grand Elder of the Chaos Return to Oneness Palace —a true selfless ancient spirit of the Chaos lineage.

When the two faced each other, a transparent curtain of air naturally split open between them.

It was as if space itself was making way for them. Jian Wuxin was the first to slightly bow.

Calm, gentle, even with a hint of warmth. "Brother Li, it's been a long time."

His eyes were gently curved at the corners, and his voice was warm and gentle, yet he possessed a power that could quiet all the noise around him.

He chuckled, "Upon meeting you today, your aura has deepened by three points compared to before."

"The teachings of the Chaos Return to Oneness Palace are truly enviable." Li Jiangfeng raised his long eyebrows.

When returning the gift, the chaotic patterned sea gently rippled out.

The rules of heaven and earth automatically yielded. "Brother Wuxin, you flatter me."

Compared to the Silent Profundity Heart of your Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, my old bones are merely clinging to life.

Jian Wuxin looked up and sighed softly, as if reminiscing about something. "Ever since we parted ways at the Demon Realm Rift..."

"It's been nine thousand years now, hasn't it?" Li Jiangfeng chuckled.

His eyes were gentle and calm. "If you hadn't intervened in that battle, I'm probably not here now."

Jian Wuxin waved his hand lightly. "Haha, we old guys are only alive because we saved each other."

During their conversation, there was no arrogance, hostility, or power struggle between the two powerful individuals.

Instead, they seem like two old friends who have weathered a thousand years of storms together.

Upon meeting, they shed all their sharp edges. The other disciples of the four halls, Rogue Cultivator, and those from the Liu Yuan Practitioners were dumbfounded.

Someone couldn't help but whisper, "That... that's Jian Wuxin! And Li Jiangfeng, the Grand Elder of the Chaos First Palace..."

"How come those two... act like brothers?"

The other person took a deep breath. "These old monsters..."

They are all beings who emerged from the ancient era.

The bond between them... we simply cannot imagine.

The third person said, trembling, "The truly terrifying aspect of the Five Great Temples..."

It's not that they're strong... but rather that it's their 'era'. But at the heart of it all...

The two ancient and powerful figures were still conversing gently.

Jian Wuxin looked at Li Jiangfeng with a half-smile, "That's that girl from your Bright Zither Hall... Ling Liangyan, isn't she?"

"He has an extraordinary aura." Li Jiangfeng sighed with a hint of helplessness, "He's an extremely fortunate child. It's just... his heart is too stubborn."

Jian Wuxin smoothed his sleeve. "Stubbornness is good. Only stubborn people can reach the Deep Root."

Li Jiangfeng fell on the entrance to the Deep Root: "What do you think of this Deep Root..."

Will it be more dangerous than usual?

Jian Wuxin said calmly, "With the Deep Root opening so early, the world is in chaos..."

"The danger is greater than ever before." He gazed into the abyss.

For the first time, a genuine sense of seriousness appeared in his eyes. "I'm afraid... even we old folks might not be able to see through it all."

Li Jiangfeng nodded. "Then let the younger generation take the plunge."

Jian Wuxin chuckled lightly, "Hmm. We old bones... should step back and watch the show."

Just as Jian Wuxin and Li Jiangfeng's gentle greetings faded away, two increasingly intense killing intents and radiance suddenly gathered in another part of the sky.

Originating from -- the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall and the Asura Immortal Hall.

Before the Fallen Dawn Array, a figure clad in a cloak of cracked light...

The middle-aged man, whose eyes witnessed the setting sun constantly shattering and regenerating, slowly stepped forward.

He is -- the Fourth Elder of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall, Xi Huanluo Silent Mystery Realm Supreme Realm.

The moment he stepped down, the logic in the air vanished as if "words had been erased."

Within the Asura formation, a tall and imposing figure suddenly stepped forward.

Behind them, the celestial river of light and the Asura Blood Armor both surged simultaneously.

He is -- Elder Kuangsha of the Asura Immortal Hall, Shura Fenye, the Supreme Being of the Silent Mystery Realm Supreme.

The two stood before the Milky Way Waterfall, no more than a few dozen feet apart. But within that few dozen feet,

The air was being torn apart by two forces, almost to the point of exploding:

On one side was the aura of annihilation, and on the other was the killing intent of Asura. The crowd fell silent instantly.

Xi Huanluo didn't speak first. He simply raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Asura Fenye.

That glance was as cold and dark as the end of the world.

Asura Fenye sneered, "What? The people of Fallen Dawn... want to dismantle our Asura's 'logic' before even reaching the entrance of Deep Root?"

Xi Huanluo softly, her tone as cold as the setting sun. "Logic? Asura... also possesses logic?"

A low roar suddenly came from the Asura Array, and countless light blades of Immortal Emanation Asura flashed.

But Xi Huanluo continued, "Your Asura Immortal Hall... only knows 'killing and conquest,' right?"

Asura Fenye laughed as if a sea of Asura's blood was boiling, "Killing is also a kind of logic."

He lightly stepped into the sky, and the illusory and real immortal river immediately churned.

Like an invisible river blocking the path of the Fallen Dawn Array.

Xi Huanluo said calmly, "Unfortunately... this kind of logic can't last long if it's Deep Root."

Asura Fenye an eyebrow. "The logic of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall is indeed strong. Strong enough to—"

"Every time there's Deep Root chaos, you're the first to fall into disarray." Xi Huanluo's eyes suddenly trembled.

In that instant, thousands of Rogue Cultivator felt their minds violently shaken.

His voice was deep yet as sharp as tearing flames. "Asura Fenye."

"If you stand in the Deep Root and block the life of one of my disciples of the Fallen Dawn..." "I, the Fallen Light Hermits..."

It will make you watch your destiny being rewritten into nothingness.

Asura Fenye gently raised his hand, and the phantom of the Asura Blade tore through the crimson ripples on the horizon.

He responded with a cold laugh, "And if any of your Fallen Dawn's people dare to shed a single drop of my Asura's blood..."

"I will make you disappear from the existence of 'light'." The air instantly pressed to its Limit.

The sky transformed into a dark, Void Realm on one side, while simultaneously erupting in waves of Asura crimson battle.

The two forces suppressed each other in the air, as if two worlds were meeting at this point.

The crowd retreated hundreds of feet. Someone exclaimed, "These two palaces have always been at odds, haven't they? Are they going to fight again today?!"

"Start a war? Are you crazy? Those are Fallen Dawn and Asura!" One palm strike shattered logic, the other palm Realm Breaking reality and illusion...

"If a war breaks out, the entire Southern Region will be shattered to pieces!!!" "Stop joking! This is the entrance to Deep Root; who dares to start a war here!"

"If they really make a move, even the Deep Root could collapse!" Just as his breath reached its Limit—

The two elders simultaneously stopped, as if all tension had been released.

It's all just an old-fashioned courtesy of "reminding the other person again".

Asura Fenye scoffed, "Let's talk about it further Deep Root. The people of Fallen Dawn..."

"I, Asura, remember you." Xi Huanluo calmly, "Likewise." The two turned around at the same time, their presence making the sky seem to sink.

Amidst the thunderous roar of heaven and earth before the entrance to the Deep Root, a wisp of extremely fine, extremely light, yet permeating all causal threads—was a fluctuation.

The shockwave silently spread through the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall array.

But all the disciples of the Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys standing behind the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation

At the same time, he slightly closed his eyes. This was a transmission of fate from a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall.

Grand Elder of the Heavenly Emanation, "Fate-Illuminating Emanation River One," Fateless Rank, Supreme

His voice was not like words, but more like a "ripple of destiny" falling into the hearts of his disciples.

"You shall obey my command." All the celestial envoys trembled, their life force quivering slightly.

The elder's thoughts slowly flowed into their minds. "This journey to the Deep Root is unlike any before. While the opportunities are plentiful, they are accompanied by unprecedented dangers."

The four causal lines flowed in his palm, Light of Limitlessness illuminated fragments of the future along the nine branches of destiny.

The elder continued to transmit his voice, "Remember--"

Once you've penetrated Deep Root, you must proceed with extreme caution.

A beam of causal light suddenly trembled violently.

He frowned slightly. "Especially avoid— the Asura Immortal Hall."

Another line shattered into ashes. "And... the Chaos First Palace."

Their fortunes plummeted even further. "The two had a dispute a month ago, and the conflict remains unresolved."

"This Deep Root journey will inevitably lead to mutual hunting and killing." "You are the inheritors of the Heavenly Emanation."

"Do not lose in meaningless disputes." "Unless absolutely necessary, do not provoke them."

The moment the telepathic message ended, all nine celestial envoys opened their eyes simultaneously.

The mist of fate surged three feet high. At that moment, all the disciples of Heavenly Emanation understood:

This Deep Root is not only a place of opportunity—it is also Asura where the undercurrents of the five palaces clash.

Meanwhile—within the Asura Immortal Hall array,

A flash of blood-gold light suddenly ignited in Shura Fenye's eyes. The next instant,

A wave of Asura energy, filled with a murderous intent, instantly spread thousands of feet.

It landed precisely in the ears of every Asura disciple.

The voice was deep and rough, yet carried immense authority. "Asura, heed my command."

All the Immortal Emanation Asura stopped what they were doing.

The blood-red armor hummed, and blood-red patterns flickered in its eyes.

Asura Fenye intent was like a knife: "After entering the Deep Root— "

"Your primary task is only one: 'To exterminate the people of the Chaos First Palace.'"

Tens of thousands of Asura disciples were shaken to their core, their killing intent surging forth.

Asura Fenye continued, "Secondly, if we encounter the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall —defeat it."

Blood splattered into the sky, and a disciple couldn't help but roar, "Yes!!!"

Asura Fenye's voice grew even colder. "The Deep Root Lower Layers are by no means a peaceful place."

You must all travel in groups. "In dangerous situations..."

Using the 'Asura Sound Transmission Talisman' bestowed upon us,

They must maintain a response of no more than three breaths between them. He looked up towards the direction of the Chaos First Palace.

A blood-red killing intent coalesced into a narrow crack in his eyes. "As for opportunities and sacred treasures..."

He chuckled, a laugh as cold as a blade tearing through a galaxy. "The more you kill, the more you seize."

The Asura Blood Mark lit up on all the disciples. "The Palace Master promises: the more people from the Chaos First Palace you kill—the greater the reward upon returning to the Palace!"

The sky over the Southern Region of the Void Obliteration Domain suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as if the entire world had held its breath. Before countless cultivators could react, the colors of heaven and earth were suddenly stripped away as if by an invisible hand, losing all warmth, leaving only the skeleton of light trembling gently in the void. The crowd looked up simultaneously, a primal horror washing over them, as if their souls were forced to confront an existence that had never been allowed to be observed since time immemorial.

A faint rumble echoed from the depths of the heavens. In the next instant, the dark sky was torn open by a rift large enough to pierce through the Milky Way. Within the rift, there was no chaos, but instead, countless fragments of light poured down like a shattered Milky Way. The waterfall of light fell from the heavens, piercing the earth and illuminating the faces of countless sects and individuals. It was a true cosmic-level tremor. Light and darkness overlapped in the air, and a giant silver-white vortex leading to an unknown abyss was slowly taking shape in the sky.

The center of the vortex was blindingly bright, as if it had absorbed all the light of the entire Void Obliteration Domain; the surrounding area, however, was terrifyingly dark, as if even the darkness had been swallowed up, leaving only a phantom. Countless stars floated, fell, and rose around the vortex. At the same time, all cultivators on the earth, regardless of their strength, felt their hearts being clenched—this was the legendary Deep Root Entrance, which was said to appear only once every epoch.

"Deep Root... the entrance... has finally been fully opened."

A trembling voice fell into the silent Southern Region, and in the next instant, the entire world seemed to be engulfed by a loud, startled cry.

"This... this scale is wrong! Previous Deep Root entrances have never been like this—"

"This isn't an entrance, it's like a star field has collapsed into a hole!"

"Such an anomaly has never appeared in the eons of the Void Obliteration Domain... Could it be that this Deep Root Lower Layers will determine the fate of the entire domain?!"

Countless people were so shocked they couldn't speak, and many more were breathing heavily. At that moment, all the disciples, elders, worshippers, and guards of the five great temples looked up, truly understanding the magnitude of the calamity and opportunity that this Deep Root event would bring.

The galactic vortex continued to expand, tearing apart the structure of the sky. Each rotation seemed to echo some indescribable ancient rule. Finally, with a deafening roar that pierced the heavens and earth, the vortex took complete shape, transforming into a descending galaxy of light and stardust, piercing through the abyss and reaching the very root of the Void Obliteration Domain.

The Grand Jian Wuxin of the Silent Nothingness Divine Hall, Jian Wuxin, was the first to raise his hand. His robes were lifted by the blue crystal light of the Sea of No Form, and his voice, as light as the wind, resounded throughout the entire land. "The Void Stillness Walkers —Enter the Abyss."

The Silent Nothingness Divine Hall array resembled starlight being blown about, and all the Void Stillness Walkers transformed into ghostly blue light and shadow, silently merging into the depths of the vortex, like a drop of water returning to the ocean, Wuhen.

Immediately afterwards, the thirteen Fallen Light Hermits of the Fallen Dawn Divine Hall, shrouded in shattered light, slowly emerged, each step causing the heavenly light to crumble and then reconstruct itself. The Grand Elder of Fallen Dawn looked up at the Star Abyss and softly called out, "Hermits, follow me into the Abyss of Fallen Dawn." Thirteen streams of light swept past him, instantly disappearing into the entrance without a trace.

The Asura Immortal Hall's formation was like a sleeping behemoth awakened. He Xunsu's voice boomed like a war drum. "Asura forces—charge into the Deep Root!!!"

With a deafening roar, tens of thousands of Asura disciples rose into the air simultaneously, with streams of immortal light erupting behind them. The Asura blood armor vibrated in unison, forming crimson waves. It was a true army of slaughter, like blood-stained stars falling into a vortex, as if the entire world had been dyed crimson.

On the Chaos Return to Oneness Palace side, streaks of chaotic light rose behind Elder Li Jiangfeng. He raised his hand, signaling, "Primordial Envoys, follow me into the abyss." Countless chaotic shadows scattered like stars, and the Primordial Envoys leaped into the entrance, stepping on the laws of chaos. Ling Liangyan's figure moved lightly, and she turned back to look at the sky one last time, her eyes still filled with undisguised longing. "Qin Yu... where are you?"

The Heavenly Emanation Limitless Hall was entered last. The nine Fate-Emanating Immortal Envoys rose up on the mist of destiny. With a flick of the Great Elder's finger, the Wheel of Heavenly Emanation appeared from the void with a roar. The nine Rivers of Destiny lit up at the same time and flowed into the Deep Root Star Abyss. The scene was like the nine long rivers of destiny entering the heart of the Void Obliteration Domain at the same time.

When all five great temples stormed in, countless sect disciples, Rogue Cultivator, wanderers, and forces from all over the Void Obliteration Domain could no longer suppress their emotions.

"Now!!!" "Charge! Deep Root your destiny!!!" "Becoming Wang Cheng, a god—this strike is all it takes!!!"

Countless figures transformed into streaks of starlight, soaring into the vortex of the sky from the ground. At that moment, the Void Obliteration Domain was like countless arrows of light shooting into the sky, as if everyone in the world was trying to escape into the Deep Root.

The Milky Way spun faster and brighter, sucking away all sounds in the world, leaving everything as if only the power of the abyss remained. Finally, as the last force crossed the boundary, a deafening roar that shattered the heavens came from the depths of the vortex.

The Star Abyss suddenly tightened, twisting all the light in the entire area into a single point.

The heavens and earth trembled violently.

The rift in the Milky Way transformed into a towering chain of stars that slid down, piercing the bottom of the abyss. The figures of all those who entered were absorbed, torn apart, stretched, and reconstructed one by one in the silver light, eventually disappearing into the depths of the black and white swirling light.

Deep Root Lower Layers, this is the most dangerous, chaotic, and maddening place in the history of the Void Obliteration Domain.

Finally, the largest descent in history has arrived, with the five great temples gathering and hundreds of sects and tens of thousands of cultivators joining.

However, no one knew that in the Deep Root, most inaccessible place, someone had already entered long ago.
