Everyone Stunned, Origin Islands Shattered!

"Ao Zhuo, what happened?"

Ye Li and the others saw Ao Zhuo return with a complicated expression, they all looked puzzled.

"No need for discussion. I just went to the Human Race and asked Fellow Lin An. I already know why the erosion of the Sin Domain is accelerating," Ao Zhuo said.

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.

"What exactly happened? Could it really be that something went wrong in the War Calamity Sin Domain?"

"That's not right. The Human Race has the Heavenly Sword guarding it, and now Fellow Lin An is also here. How could there be a problem in the War Calamity Sin Domain?"

"..."

Everyone spoke up, and finally all turned their gazes to Ao Zhuo, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

"The War Calamity Sin Domain has indeed run into trouble; the War Calamity Sin Lord has already perished." Ao Zhuo's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present.

"How is that possible? How could the War Calamity Sin Lord suddenly perish?"

"Could it be that Lin An killed that War Calamity Sin Lord after breaking through to the Eternal Realm?"

"That's not right. Even so, how could we not have noticed the fall of an Eternal Realm expert?"

"Yes, we can't expect the War Calamity Sin Lord to just rush out and get instantly killed by the Heavenly Sword, can we?"

The crowd discussed the sudden demise of the War Calamity Sin Lord, expressing their disbelief.

"The War Calamity Sin Lord was indeed killed by Fellow Lin An, but not after he broke through to the Eternal Realm."

"We were all wrong at first. We thought that Fellow Lin An sent so many puppets into the various Sin Domain to hunt down a large number of Sin Beast in order to prove his Dao and break through to the Extreme Realm Ninth Heaven."

Ao Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "But I just asked around, and Lin An told me that he did indeed prove his Dao through killing, but the ones he killed were the War Calamity Sin Lord."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; they all instantly realized what this meant.

"You mean, Fellow Lin An killed the War Calamity Sin Lord when he was still at the Extreme Realm Eighth Heaven?"

Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with awe.

If Lin An had killed the War Calamity Sin Lord after breaking through to the Eternal Realm, they would be surprised but able to accept it.

But now they're being told that the other party killed the War Calamity Sin Lord when he was only at the Immortal Realm. How terrifying would Lin An be now that he's broken through to the Eternal Realm?

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Ao Zhuo smiled inwardly; he had just been just like them.

Seeing that everyone's shock had subsided, Ao Zhuo continued, "Of course, the main reason why Lin An was able to kill the War Calamity Sin Lord was because that War Calamity Sin Lord was imprisoned."

Ao Zhuo then explained Lin Chang's existence, which made everyone look enlightened.

"I see. But even though the War Calamity Sin Lord has been imprisoned by Fellow Lin Chang, Lin An's ability to kill him shows his terrifying strength."

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Lin Chang to have such a scheme. When we first heard that he had fallen into the Sin Abyss, we even spoke ill of him. Now that I think about it, I feel somewhat sorry for him."

"Fellow Lin Chang was able to elevate Lin An through his own efforts; we are far inferior to him."

"..."

While marveling at Lin An's strength, everyone also felt a complex mix of emotions towards Lin Chang.

Although Lin An is a descendant of Lin Chang, if this matter were to happen to them, let alone a descendant several generations removed, even if it were their own offspring, they would not be willing to sacrifice themselves just to ensure the success of their offspring.

After all, they had finally broken through to the Eternal Realm, and they were unwilling to perish just like that.

"After the War Calamity Sin Lord was killed, Lin An left one-third of his Origin Power within the War Calamity Sin Domain, which is why the Sin Domain did not collapse."

"Even so, it's inevitable that there will still be some impact, causing the erosion of the Sin Domain to accelerate."

"However, as Lin An just said, he will find a way to resolve this matter within a thousand years, so we don't need to worry."

Ao Zhuo didn't mention that the Origin Power could only last for a thousand years, otherwise these guys would inevitably have some thoughts about it.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Ao Zhuo's words. Although a thousand years would erode the Land of Rules considerably, it wouldn't affect these top-tier clans.

Moreover, exchanging a thousand years of erosion for an Eternal Realm expert is still worthwhile.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if they have opinions, it's useless. The War Calamity Sin Lord of War Calamity Sin Lord is already dead, and they can't force Lin An to replace him.

They wouldn't stoop to doing something like that.

"Now that we know the reason, that's good. In any case, it's much better than the Sin Abyss World becoming stronger on its own."

Everyone agreed, and after exchanging a few more words, they dispersed.

Upon returning to their clans, the patriarchs of each clan issued a series of orders to respond accordingly.

Although we now know the reason for the accelerated erosion of the Sin Domain, we will still try our best to slow it down if possible.

Time continued to pass, and soon another year had gone by.

Within the Land of Rules, as before, all races and beings strive to become stronger.

However, a year is not a big change for most living beings, but for the Human Race, it is a world-shaking change.

Boom!

On this day, as a powerful aura surged within the cave, Wu Tianshan's cultivation level broke through.

"The Extreme Realm First Heaven!"

Feeling his own power surge, Wu Tianshan's eyes shone brightly. He hadn't expected that in just two short years, he would not only break through from the Immortal Seventh Grade to the Immortal Ninth Grade, but now he had even entered the Extreme Realm.

Moreover, he had absorbed and refined a considerable amount of Origin Power in the Sacred Realm, even surpassing the power of the top ten prodigies on the Battle Ranking.

Therefore, now that he has broken through to the Extreme Realm First Heaven, his combat strength is not much worse than those monstrous geniuses.

"Speaking of which, those prodigies on the Battle Ranking probably haven't broken through to the Immortal Ninth Grade yet, and even if they have, their bloodlines definitely haven't undergone a transformation."

Wu Tianshan smiled; he was now somewhat eager to have a battle with those previously Battle Ranking prodigies to see how strong he was.

Apart from Wu Tianshan, the entire Human Race experienced another significant increase in strength within this year.

The number of the Immortal Realm is already greater than that of the top races. Although their quality is still somewhat inferior, if this continues, they will surpass those top races in at most five years.

The overall strength of the Human Race is increasing, and as the only Eternal Realm ancestor of the Human Race, Lin An's cultivation has reached a critical moment.

Within the Origin Island.

Lin An sat cross-legged in the void, a large amount of Origin Power surging into his body, and his aura was terrifying beyond compare, completely surpassing the level of the Initial Source Realm.

Click, click...

At this moment, a series of shattering sounds rang out, and cracks began to appear on the thirty-six Origin Island.

Boom...

Finally, at a certain moment, all the Origin Island collapsed simultaneously, and the last wisp of Origin Power was absorbed by Lin An.

At this moment, Lin An's body trembled, and the suppressed Origin Power within him began to stir restlessly.

"We can break through now."

The thought flashed through Lin An's mind, and then he stopped suppressing it, rapidly circulating his cultivation technique, and his aura suddenly surged.
