Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

In every Mixed Cave, Spiritual Power and Dark Matter clash, and the terrifying power released makes all Saints present shiver.

They anticipated that Lu Jin'an would be formidable after reaching the endpoint of Divine Concealment, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful.

The force emitted from the caves made the Saints feel a stinging sensation on their skin.

This is a power that can easily harm them.

The Saints glanced at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

The Ancient Court is destroyed, and all passages to the Upper Realm are obliterated. They all know that beyond this Gate to Hidden Life Mountain is Yunding's greatest enemy.

They are aware of how formidable this enemy is, as their reluctance to delve deeper into the Southern Realm serves as the greatest 'respect'.

And now, Lu Jin'an is using the Dao Domain to counteract Dark Matter. This kind of power... is this the power one can achieve with Divine Concealment?

They do not know, but the tense hearts quietly relaxed a bit.

If Lu Jin'an possesses this force, then perhaps they might not have to die.

Thinking this, Lu Jin'an has already stepped forward, flanked on both sides by Pei Wanyu and Huang Ningshang.

Before entering, Lu Jin'an turned back to glance at the Saints.

It's surveillance, and more of a threat.

The Saints followed in succession.

······

Hidden Life Mountain, within the Immortal Court.

"Hmm?"

'Li Chengshi' opened his eyes, looking in a direction, a trace of surprise flickering in his gaze: "I thought they destroyed all passages to the Lower Realm to hide and delay, but unexpectedly, they want to restrict the battlefield to one place; indeed, they have courage."

The guide turned his head towards Lu Yunzhu: "They may not destroy your stable Gate, but now your power is negated."

Lu Yunzhu slightly lifted her chin: "I didn't tell you to underestimate my adopted brother."

"Are you quite proud?"

"What else?"

The guide sneered, then spoke to 'Li Chengshi': "Since they want to attack proactively and seek a path, let them understand the gap in strength...

Are you capable of using 'Li Chengshi's body to do it?"

"A minor piece of cake," 'Li Chengshi' said blandly: "This body allows me to be unrestrained in this realm."

Saying this, he laughed softly: "After all, it's an experiment using the fragments of this realm's people, meant for this very moment of presence."

"Go on then."

The guide nodded, and 'Li Chengshi' vanished in an instant from her sight.

Retracting her gaze, the guide looked up, only to see above the blood-red Sky Dome, a giant star resembling the dusk of the apocalypse endlessly falling, with Dragon Roar and Phoenix Chirp, nature's spiritual energy competing for radiance.

This is the Outer Heaven Fortress, constructed by ascendant warriors of Yunding.

And now, this fortress is falling at an astonishing speed, as if fleeing from something.

Above this fortress, black winds like fog obscure the sky, resembling locusts ravaging through, causing the void to collapse, leaving heaven and earth devoid of light.

As if the apocalypse is here.

"In another hour, it will fall."

The guide spoke slowly: "Once this fortress blocking the Endless Maze falls, I shall help you open a path to Outer Heaven..."

Whoosh!

Before the words were finished, a slender blade pierced directly through her back, blood gushing like a spring.

The guide's pupils contracted sharply, a deep astonishment reflected in her eyes. She looked down at the hand piercing through her chest, feeling the abyss-like aura emanating from behind, opened her mouth, full of confusion: "How is it possible?!"

"Your blood is red too, huh."

Lu Yunzhu slowly withdrew her hand, holding a World Seed in her palm: "I thought your blood would be black."

The guide staggered forward a few steps, bending over, gasping heavily: "I shouldn't have been able to avoid it..."

"Gifts from strangers shouldn't be casually accepted."

Lu Yunzhu mocked with a sneer, lightly tossing the Western Realm World Seed in her hand: "Having this within you, no matter how high your realm is or how strong your Daoist skill is, your position is clear as day to me."

Realization flashed in the guide's eyes: "What realm exactly are you?"

"Haven't you seen?"

"No past, no future, the future..." The guide's eyes gradually reflected disbelief: "Your future reaches far..."

"Merely thanks to this."

Lu Yunzhu removed the cold mask from her face: "I've always walked the unconventional path, and it's no different now."

The moment the words fell, the mask in her hand shattered into light fragments and dissipated, and from her body emerged an overwhelming aura.

As if a city wall connected heaven and earth, evolving space-time, Yin Yang, and multitudinous Great Daos, giving the guide a sense of seeing dusk.

The guide was momentarily dazed but then gritted her teeth: "Don't think slaying me grants you true ascendance to Outer Heaven. Without me, you shall be lost in the Endless Maze!"

Lu Yunzhu chuckled softly: "Endless Maze? Who cares for that?"

The guide was startled: "Didn't you say before..."

"If I didn't say such a thing, I couldn't think of any other reason." Lu Yunzhu smiled slightly: "Other excuses are simply untenable."

"What's your real objective then?"

The guide asked, attempting to stall time, but strangely finding her wound neither healing nor stopping to bleed.

"Don't waste your efforts." Lu Yunzhu stepped before the guide: "I've already imprinted the Space-Time Path within you. You must die, as for my objective..."

Lu Yunzhu reached out, pinching the guide's cheeks gently: "It's you."

"Me?" The guide was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Your power is quite good." Between Lu Yunzhu's blazing Spiritual Power, like serpents, extending, a vast void crack spread in all directions.

The guide's complexion drastically changed, realizing her Origin and Great Dao were extending into Lu Yunzhu's Spiritual Power!

"Do you want to become me?!"

Upon these words, Lu Yunzhu laughed scoffingly: "Become you? Are you worthy?"

"Then you..."

"I only seek the power called 'Dark Matter' by this realm, and your... identity."

As the words fell, Lu Yunzhu's fingertips pressed harder, and a more intense Dark Origin overflowed from the guide's body. Even merely a conglomerate of energy contained earth-shattering power that can reverse heaven and earth, and all reincarnation.

The guide struggled, yet to no avail.

"What exactly do you want to accomplish?!"

The guide screamed, while Lu Yunzhu looked afar, her gaze flickering with inexplicable excitement.

"You're not worthy of becoming his adversary."

?

A trace of bafflement clouded the guide's eyes, but without pondering too much, she growled fiercely: "Do you think acquiring my Origin and Great Dao will make them bow to your foreign voice?"

"That doesn't matter."

Gradually, black mist swirled around Lu Yunzhu, with her Spiritual Power surging, confronting the energy embedded in the black mist, every collision causing space to collapse.

"The important thing is him... and me."

With those words, Lu Yunzhu directly crushed the guide's skull, and abruptly, the entire Immortal Court became enshrouded in darkness, though silent, yet incertain energies of this realm like a bone-corroding paralysis.

In the darkness, vortexes formed, with Lu Yunzhu's Great Dao flickering as if forming independent, unfathomable spaces.

Watching this scene, Qin Wenda's eyes flashed with horror. In his vision, enveloping Lu Yunzhu were energies imbued with an indescribable, splendid hue, a higher-tier power beyond his understanding at this moment.

However, he also saw that Lu Yunzhu bore immense pressure as she forcibly merged these powers.

Sweeping energies, the World Tree behind Lu Yunzhu seemed to form, harboring endless Dao patterns.

Boom!

A muffled explosion, a star above the Sky Dome plummeted fiercely.

Lu Yunzhu opened her eyes, pressing one hand down, and the Transcendent Power inside the Outer Heaven Fortress upon entering this realm became worms at her mercy, shrinking continuously.

Snap—

A snap of fingers.

The Great Dao behind Lu Yunzhu materialized, forming a chair.

Dressed in red, Lu Yunzhu sat upon it, legs crossed, overlooking the terrified Transcendent Power.

"You play the audience here, watch him and me forge this era!"
