The galaxy was like an ocean, but it was black in color. It did not have any raging waves, neither did it have any terrifying wind or waves, but it had an endless and boundless air about it.
The cultivation planets would occasionally shine with a brilliant light. From the distance, they looked like a moving sea of fog, and the endless amount of dust formed the galaxy.
More accurately speaking, the Barren Lands of Divine Essence was formed by three parts. The deepest part was Divine Essence Star Ocean, the middle part was Sinful Barren Lands, and the outermost part was the galaxy where the four Great True Worlds kept a lookout over it.
If the Barren Lands of Divine Essence were compared to a gourd, then Divine Essence Star Ocean would be the lower half of the gourd, and Sinful Barren Lands would be one half of the upper half. The four Great True Worlds kept a lookout over it would be the other half. At the same time, they would also control the galaxy around the mouth of the gourd.
Western Ring Nebula, where Su Ming was, was part of Sinful Barren Lands. The forces of power from the four Great True Worlds keeping a lookout over it could intimidate the four regions in Sinful Barren Lands, but the four regions, including Western Ring Nebula, did not exist in different directions.
They were placed side by side. Similarly, the internal structure of the galaxy where the four Great True Worlds kept a lookout over it was the same. The region near the exit of the gourd was their main camp, and the region near Sinful Barren Lands was divided into four regions, each of which monitored and covered the four regions, including Western Ring Nebula.
True Sacred Yin World controlled and monitored Western Ring Nebula.
Black Ink Planet, which was mentioned by many cultivators by word of mouth, was in truth a dividing line, a tipping point. Its location was the sunken spot between the upper and lower parts of the gourd.
Once a person stepped past Black Ink Planet, it would be the same as stepping into Divine Essence Star Ocean. The four Great True Worlds rarely ventured into Divine Essence Star Ocean, and they were incredibly wary of it. In fact, there were even rumors that the four Great True Worlds were not keeping a lookout over the cultivators in Sinful Barren Lands, but … the alien races that might still exist in Divine Essence Star Ocean!
When Su Ming was being hunted in Western Ring Nebula in Sinful Barren Lands, the galaxy belonging to the four Great True Worlds in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence was undergoing a change that happened once every few hundreds of years.
Every single time they took turns, a portion of the True Guards would leave the Barren Lands of Divine Essence and return to their True Worlds, as if it was time for them to serve. Similarly, there would also be new people from the four Great True Worlds who would be sent here to become new True Guards.
It did not matter whether they were leaving or coming, the cultivators who were taking their place in the four Great True Worlds would carry out this sort of handover in the main camp of the four Great True Worlds. The old ones would leave, and the newcomers would be taken away by the people from their True Worlds in the main camp to head to the galaxy where their True Worlds needed to keep a lookout.
The True Sacred Yin Guards brought the newbies back to their True Worlds to be stationed in the galaxy in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence were three ancient bronze swords that were one hundred thousand feet long. At that moment, these three ancient swords were flying calmly in the galaxy. Two of them were escorted by the sides, and the ancient sword in the middle was the main focus. They were returning from the direction of the main camp to the place where they were stationed.
This time, True Sacred Yin World had sent nearly one hundred people over, and all of them were Lords of World Planes. There were one hundred people sitting cross-legged and meditating on the one hundred thousand feet sword at the center. Standing before them was a middle-aged man dressed in battle armor.
That middle-aged man had a head full of white hair, and there was an awe-inspiring look on his face. Once he swept his gaze past the one hundred people, his gaze lingered on three of them for a moment.
The first person he paid attention to was an ancient old man. That person was incredibly tall and built, and as he sat there, he was much taller than the others. In fact, the area around him was empty, and besides his two companions, no one else dared to get close to him.
When the middle-aged man in battle armor looked towards him, the old man lifted his head and looked back at him coldly.
"I heard a long time ago that the Progenitor of the Spirits of Nine Yin returned to the True World many years ago and was highly regarded by Lord Sacred Yin. He personally took back the galaxy that belonged to this race from the hands of various forces of power, and once he modified it, he returned it to the Spirits of Nine Yin.
"In fact, he even used a treasure from the True World to create physical bodies for the Spirits of Nine Yin so that their souls could gather together in their new physical bodies. It was as if they were resurrected, and they became half-dead living beings." A barely noticeable glint appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man in battle armor.
"Sir, your level of cultivation is extraordinary. How may I address you?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked as he looked at the old man.
"Spirits of Nine Yin, Ze Long Shen," the old man answered flatly.
"Ze Long Shen … what about the two of you?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at the two remaining people beside the old man. One of them was a man whose body was only second to the old man's. That man's expression was calm, but a freezing glare would occasionally flash in his eyes, as if there was an endless amount of murderous aura contained within his body.
He looked at the middle-aged man and grinned.
"Li Huo, Spirits of Nine Yin."
The last person was dressed in a wide black robe. His skin and face that were exposed were covered in black patterns. He had no hair, and even his eyes were a little lifeless. However, there was a hint of murderous aura hidden within that lifeless gaze, and when the middle-aged man saw it, his pupils shrank.
"Ji Yunhai." His voice was incredibly piercing to the ears, as if his bones were rubbing against each other. There was also a thick aura of death around him, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.
"Alright, I didn't expect that three Spirits of Nine Yin would come this time. Your race has disappeared from the True World for a long time. This should be the first time you've come to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence after you returned.
"True Sacred Yin World monitors and keeps a lookout over Western Ring Nebula, one of the four great regions in Sinful Barren Lands. There are some powerful warriors in this region, but they are not the main focus. True Sacred Yin World's true mission and enemy are the alien races in Divine Essence Star Ocean!
"We must prevent them from rushing out and intimidate the alien races." The middle-aged man swung his arm, and as the three ancient bronze swords charged through the galaxy, they gradually left into the distance. The people could vaguely hear the man's voice.
"Recently, something interesting happened in Western Ring Nebula. A person called Mo Su is wanted by the four Great True Worlds … All of you have just become True Guards. If anyone of you can kill this person, it will be considered a great meritorious deed."
When the people from True Sacred Yin World went to the place where they were stationed, two huge dragons that were one hundred thousand feet long roared in another direction that belonged to the forces of power from True Morning Dao World keeping a lookout over the barren lands.
These two huge dragons had ferocious appearances. There were runic symbols shining on each of their scales. At that moment, as they flew, there were quite a number of cultivators on their bodies. There was a person standing on one of the huge dragons. That person looked to be in his thirties, and he had an aloof expression on his face. He was dressed in a Sacred Constellation Robe, and the stars on his robe were rotating slowly. Behind him were numerous cultivators with respectful expressions on their faces.
"Young Master, this is the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. Once we leave the area where True Morning Dao World is stationed, we will reach Sinful Barren Lands. That place is filled with murderous people, and it will become the best training ground for you, Young Master."
The young man in the Sacred Constellation Robe nodded faintly, then turned his head around to look at the other huge dragon not too far in the distance. There, he saw a young man dressed in white standing on the dragon's head with a calm expression on his face.
The young man was handsome, but there was also a lonesome air about him. He was like a sharp sword that was about to be drawn out of its scabbard, causing all those who saw him to be unable to help themselves but focus their attention on him.
It was as if there was an indescribable presence about him that could make him instantly become the center of attention no matter where he was.
He was not wearing a Starry Robe, but the calm and arrogant aura he exuded was above all other statuses.
There were also many cultivators behind him. They were dressed differently, making it clear that they came from different forces of power.
A freezing glare shone in the eyes of the young man in the Sacred Constellation Robe as he mumbled under his breath, "Ye Wang!"
"He is the person with the greatest potential in True Morning Dao World in the past tens of thousands of years. He has even caught the attention of the old monsters in Morning Dao Sect. They say that he is the person with the highest possibility of stepping into Plane Kalpa Realm among the cultivators of his generation.
"He has also been taken in as the direct disciple of Heng Kong Zi, one of the three Grand Sect Elders of Morning Dao Sect … Ye Wang, if I can take you in as my servant, then my power will surpass the other members of my race and reach the top five!" The young man in the Sacred Constellation Robe narrowed his eyes.
At the same time, there were four World Traversing Abyss Dragons charging through the area where the Emperor of Abyss' True World was stationed. There were more than one hundred people meditating with their eyes closed. No one said a single word.
The four Abyss Dragons looked similar, but one of them had a dull expression. There was a huge metal hoop piercing through its body and locking it down. In this state, it no longer looked like a noble Abyss Dragon. Instead, it looked like a beast.
The other three Abyss Dragons were different. There were no chains on their bodies, and when they occasionally looked at the Abyss Dragon bound by the chain, grief would appear on their faces.
There was a nostalgic look in the dull eyes of the Abyss Dragon, as if it was remembering the past, remembering the happy laughter of a young girl and everything in its memories.
"By the orders of the Lord of Abyss, this Abyss Dragon has committed a grave crime. Its power to traverse worlds will be destroyed, and it will be sent to this place to be exiled to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. From now on, it will no longer belong to the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Its life and death will depend on its own serendipity!" An aloof voice echoed in the area, and the eyes of the chained Abyss Dragon became increasingly dull.
As the voice spread out, a loud rumble rang out, and a gigantic vortex appeared before the sealed Abyss Dragon. That vortex was like a ghastly mouth that devoured the Abyss Dragon, causing it to disappear without a trace.
The grief on the faces of the remaining three Abyss Dragons became even greater. As they stared at the spot where their companion had disappeared, they let out sorrowful cries. They knew that they would never be able to see their companion again in this life, and that person would become the shame of the Abyss Dragons. He would be burdened with despair and sink into this place for all eternity.
There were only two outcomes awaiting it. Either it would be lost, or it would die.
If Su Ming was here, he would be able to recognize this Abyss Dragon with just one glance. It was the Abyss Dragon beside Yu Xuan, and it was also the big yellow dog that the bald crane worshipped.
Perhaps there was truly fate in the world that was manipulating all lives, or perhaps there was a thread in each life that was tied to it, causing Ye Wang, the Abyss Dragon, Ze Long Shen, Li Huo, and also … the clone puppet that Su Ming could not find in the past and had been taken away by the ancient bronze sword in the World of Nine Yin - Ji Yun Hai.
