Thick smoke and scorched earth were everywhere in this dim, yellow world. It was like the end of the world.
Sharp blades had pierced through the realm barrier, and the cracks were growing larger and larger. Chaotic energies from the starry river poured down like a waterfall.
The Starspirits cried and screamed as they sensed the turbid aura and the blockage of their bloodlines. Gradually, even their cries died down.
A common battleship of the Star Clan had exploded, turning into a pile of debris on the ground.
The enormous head of a Heavenly Star Beast that was used as a messenger in a towering black stone palace was cut open, and its two shining eyeballs were shattered into pieces that scattered on the ground.
On a high platform in the square, Xu Jingyao, who had a braided ponytail, was wearing a conspicuous Interspatial Ring.
Sensing the irritation and desire of the Fire God Spear, he narrowed his eyes and gazed at the yellow sun, which was becoming clearer because of the realm barrier. He grinned and said, "That sun happens to be able to help me refine my Yang Spirit body."
Lu Rui, Huang Baiqi, and Wan Jing, the long-faced woman from the Frigid Yin Sect, who Yu Yuan had met before, and a few other cultivators from the Primal Yang Sect, the Lightning Sect, the Frigid Yin Sect, and the Spirit Void Sect were scattered in different places. They were all very respectful to him.
Xu Jingyao had been acknowledged by the Fire God Spear as soon as he had entered the Yang Spirit realm, and become its new master.
Unlike Cao Jiaze, he was a true chosen one and a native of the Tianyuan Continent.
His parents were both powerful experts of the Primal Yang Sect. As soon as he was born, he had been chosen by the sectmaster of the Primal Yang Sect and taken in as his personal disciple.
He was much younger than Cao Jiaze. Now, he had refined his Yang Spirit and was able to enter the starry river.
His status in the Primal Yang Sect was far higher than Tang Zheng's. He could be said to be the strongest of the new generation.
While Yu Yuan was making a name for himself in the vast world, fighting battles all over the world, Xu Jingyao was in seclusion to refine his Yang Spirit. Now that he had finally completed his cleansing, according to the rules of the vast world, he was going to temper himself in outer space.
After Li Tianxin's death, the ownerless Fire God Spear had a soul, so it could choose a new master.
As expected, the "Fire God Spear" chose Xu Jingyao and allowed him to refine it on its own accord. It would accompany him back to outer space and restore the Primal Yang Sect and this divine weapon to its former glory.
The boundary wall of this small world had been pierced through by the Fire God Spear. After the rain of fire fell, most of the experts of the Star Race that Xu Jingyao had paid attention to were burnt to ashes.
At this moment, without any ancient starships to escape, the Starspirits, whose bloodline grades weren't very high, had no choice but to face their doom.
Either they died, or they were corrupted and mutated into monsters.
There was no third way.
"Young sectmaster, Rong Xun, Xie Bin, and the others are also in this domain." Lu Rui was on a slightly lower platform. He bowed his head and reported, "We chased them for a while and injured them, but they escaped."
Huang Baiqi from the lightning element sect and Wan Jing from the Frigid Yin Sect both looked ashamed.
Xu Jingyao withdrew his gaze from the yellow sun and said after a slight ponder, "Can you sense the general direction?"
Huang Baiqi nodded. "Yes."
"Since the Thunder Heaven Sect and the Star Moon Sect have chosen to follow the Shenhun Sect, they're our enemies." Xu Jingyao let out a sigh, looking somewhat regretful. "It's a pity that Liu Ying has to die. I've always had a good impression of her, but she has to kill those Star Moon Sect disciples who will listen to her sooner or later."
"I heard that the girl is about to leave Haoran," Wan Jing from the Frigid Yin Sect said in a low voice.
"Yeah, she, Chen Qingyan from the Sword Sect, and a few others who are favored by the heavens have won the favor of fortune because of the turmoil in Haoran." Xu Jingyao snorted. "It's normal for the younger generation to break through faster after the older generation dies."
"Young sectmaster, the master of this domain is General Jellat of the Starspirits. He's also at the ninth grade, and he's loyal to Leo. " Lu Rui didn't dare to let his guard down, and cautiously reminded him, "Aside from him, there are at least two other ninth grade Starspirits who are either in this domain or have gone to the Domain of Darkness."
With the arrival of the Qilin of the Goblin Temple and the response of the Devil's Palace, cultivators from the Red Devil School, the Heavenly Evil Sect, the Voodoo Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Xuantianzong Sect from the Tranquil Continent also set out for that domain, making the Domain of Darkness the most terrifying slaughterhouse in the universe.
It was because they knew that this domain had attracted the attention of all forces that the Primal Yang Sect forbade Xu Jingyao, who had just mastered the Fire God Spear and refined his yang spirit, from going to the Domain of Darkness.
This was for his safety.
It was also indirectly why Xu Jingyao had come to Jellat's domain by accident.
"With the Fire God Spear in my hands, that Jellat of the Starspirits won't be able to kill me." Xu Jingyao glanced at the cultivators of the various sects with an incomparably proud gaze. "Don't worry. This domain is so remote. The strongest Starspirits won't be able to come here instantly."
"That's true."
"There's nothing to worry about."
"Let's search for Rong Xun and the others!"
… …
In the Floating Life Realm.
Yu Yuan, who had learned the reason for the Floating Life Realm's formation from the Mantis Demon, spent a long time digesting the information, and gradually sorted out the details.
Because of this, he realized that there had to be a reason why he had appeared in the Floating Life Realm.
"You can stay in the Floating Life Realm and hunt for poisonous insects and plants to strengthen yourself. Remember, you're not allowed to leave without my permission. Also, be careful. Stay away from those two from the Thunder Sky Sect. "Yu Yuan waved his hand and dismissed the Mantis Demon.
"Got it!"
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
WHOOSH! Wisps of dark green, dark brown, and dark blue venom flew out of the refined Heavenly Star Beast's body. After identifying its location, they floated away.
There were a total of seven streams of venom, each of which contained the Mantis Demon's soul energy.
Yu Yuan was surprised. Then, he realized that this Heavenly Star Beast's body had been specially prepared for the lightning vortex.
That Mantis Demon had been afraid that the lightning vortex would strike him down as soon as he stepped out of the cave. Therefore, he had chosen the skeleton of a powerful Heavenly Star Beast to refine himself in secret.
He had done this in preparation for the lightning vortex to strike him one day when he came out. This way, he would be able to resist it for a while.
Now that the lightning vortex was gone, and Rong Xun and Xie Bin weren't here, the Heavenly Star Beast's body had become a burden.
After abandoning this body, he could move faster and faster. He could hunt for poisonous insects and various poisonous spirit herbs with the highest efficiency and accumulate strength in a short time.
It wasn't long before Yu Yuan couldn't hear the faint cries of insects anymore.
He examined the area with his nether soul, and discovered that all of the poisonous insects in this forbidden area had already been devoured by the Mantis Demon.
The seven streams of venom avoided Rong Xun and Xie Bin, and snuck towards other areas of the continent.
"Since you're related to Yutu by blood, I'll let you go."
Then, he turned to look at Chen Ching-hwang, and saw that the most powerful empress in Haoran's history had a pair of green eyes that were as clear as water, without the slightest impurity.
Princess Qing Luan's soul, flesh aura, and spiritual power fluctuations were completely concealed.
Yu Yuan, who had recovered his soul power, couldn't sense any special power from her, nor could he tell what condition she was in.
"I'm fine."
Chen Ching-hwang seemed to have seen through Yu Yuan's thoughts, and thus said with an indifferent tone.
"That's good."
Nodding slightly, Yu Yuan didn't say anything else. Instead, his nether soul flew out of his nether soul and entered the deep, dark cave.
He wanted to get a closer look at the Yin meridian that had been stripped from Mingdu's body.
Since his nether soul wasn't bound by a fleshly body, it was indeed much faster. In the blink of an eye, he reached the bottom of the cave.
In his spirit-form, he saw that the cave was engraved with dense lightning magical symbols, which contained a spell formation that could suppress souls, and copper coins and blade coins that were giving off faint electric sparks.
He had just noticed that the spell formation actually extended from the bottom of the cave all the way to the top.
After pondering for a moment, he realized that the cave where the Mantis Demons were imprisoned had spell formations that extended from the entrance to the bottom of the cave.
They could even channel lightning power from the nearby lightning vortexes to maintain the operation of the spell formations and talismans.
Yu Yuan had learned a thing or two about this from the conversation between Rong Xun and Xie Bin earlier.
The two of them had said that there were many areas in the forbidden land where the beasts and demon beasts didn't dare to stay. There were refined iron objects that were engraved with lightning runes and talismans.
This meant that the spell formations in the cave were one with the spell formations in the cave.
However, when Rong Xun and Xie Bin arrived, they had gathered the lightning vortexes away before they even reached the forbidden land, and the spell formations in this place became useless.
That was why the Mantis Demons were able to escape easily.
Yu Yuan's nether soul entered the cave and spread out his soul consciousness in the cave where the spell formations couldn't be used. He penetrated the sturdy rock and spread it down.
Not long after, he vaguely sensed a vein in the shape of a smoke cloud.
It was a Yin vein in the shape of a smoke cloud that connected the two continents of the Floating Life Realm. It was filled with a gray and withered aura.
It was like a long snake that was originally full of vitality. Without blood and flesh, it had shrunk until only a layer of skin and long bones were left.
Yu Yuan's soul shook as he suddenly understood a principle. After the mortals, demon beasts, and insects of the Floating Life Realm died, their remnant souls, memories, and thoughts would flow into the Yin vein. After the Yin vein absorbed and refined them, it would give souls and intelligence to the newly born mortals, demon beasts, and insects.
During this process, the Yin vein would be nourished and filled with power.
For example, humans needed to breathe. They inhaled air that contained spirit energy into their lungs. After a short pause, they exhaled.
Breathing in and out, a human's body and soul would be nourished. They would survive and cultivate in this way.
The Yin vein absorbed the remnant souls and thoughts of the living beings, scattered them, and refined them. It would then nourish the newly born beings. Through this method, it was nourished as if it was breathing.
In fact, the two principles were the same.
Under the careful perception of his nether soul, he found that the Yin vein had dried up and was extremely shriveled.
The life and death cycle of the foreign races in the Floating Life Realm, such as the Heavenly Star Beasts, was meaningless to it.
"Only creatures born in the Haoran that live and die in the Floating Life Realm will be able to help the Yin vein recover."
With this thought in mind, Yu Yuan carefully examined the Yin vein, but didn't detect any intact soul clusters that belonged to Jiang Yuan 'er.
He couldn't help but guess that either Jiang Yuan 'er's remnant soul awareness had dissipated over time, or it had become extremely weak.
Just as he was about to examine it further, his true form, which he had left on the surface of the Floating Life Realm, saw Denise return in a panic. He also saw a small, ragged ancient starship break through the realm barrier and enter the Floating Life Realm.
His nether soul rapidly returned to him.
"A close friend of mine suddenly came to find me," Denise said with an anxious expression. Denise looked anxious. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "I should have met her, but I was delayed by the matter here. She probably waited for too long, so she came herself."
