Chapter 680: Endgame 162: Yang Xuan's Days Are Numbered!

Moreover, Yang Xuan consumes his own lifespan and vitality to help the Azure Sword Sect rise, yet he himself is on his last breath, the lamp burnt out, oil exhausted—don't you find that ridiculous?

Gui Ming nodded, "That's right."

In the Strange Realm, they advocate survival of the fittest; the fit survive.

No one would make a sacrifice like Yang Xuan's.

There is no emotion there.

Only the distinction of strength and weakness.

The distinction between elders and subordinates.

No one from the Strange Realm would pay such a high price for their own power.

The grey-robed old man said, "Our mission is to seize that great opportunity from Yang Xuan's hands. So, let him go mad these days; let him be mad. His lifespan is almost exhausted. When that great opportunity appears, not only us from the Strange Realm, but other great realms will also act against him."

Gui Ming gave a cold laugh, "So many great realms target our Strange Realm. But they are not a monolith. Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Elsewhere.

Yang Xuan sat cross-legged, and vast sword qi swirled around him.

A wooden doll appeared in his hand.

It was the likeness of a little girl.

She was very cute, her eyes clever like an elf's, her hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a dress, smiling.

"Ling'er."

Yang Xuan murmured softly, stroking the wooden doll.

He hasn't returned to the Azure Sword Sect for ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years, I don't know how my sister Yang Ling'er is.

When he left the Azure Sword Sect, his master Hua Jieyu promised him she would use every means to cure his sister's icy cold body.

Yang Xuan gazed at his sister's wooden carving for a long time, then muttered to himself, "After obtaining this opportunity this time, I will return to the Azure Sword Sect. Let my master break through to the Nine-Star God Sovereign Realm; that is already my limit."

His lifespan is almost exhausted.

He wants to go back and see his sister.

His whole life, his heart holds only his sister and the Azure Sword Sect.

Let the Azure Sword Sect rise, let Master Hua Jieyu, let Junior Sister Chu Youwei break through their shackles, let the sect's numerous spiritual peaks undergo transformation.

That is enough.

He has no shame before the Azure Sword Sect!

He has shed too much blood for the Azure Sword Sect.

Now, his only regret is his sister, Yang Ling'er.

He failed to cure his sister Yang Ling'er's icy cold ailment.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan's eye sockets moistened slightly, two clear tears slid down his face.

"Sister..."

Elsewhere, the God-Burying Abyss.

Here, boundless and vast, the Strange Realm occupies most of the territory.

The Strange Realm has many emissaries and extensive territories.

Gui Ming followed the grey-robed old man back to a territory, and he asked, "Where is the Heaven Devouring Elder?"

The grey-robed old man shook his head, "The Heaven Devouring Elder is the strongest existence here; he stays in seclusion year-round. With our strength, we cannot see him."

Heaven Devouring Elder, a powerful one from the Strange Realm stationed to guard the God-Burying Abyss.

His cultivation has stepped into the Nine-Star God Sovereign Realm!

The grey-robed old man said, "However, if that great opportunity emerges, the Heaven Devouring Elder will awaken!"

Gui Ming nodded, "Good."

The grey-robed old man said, "You came from a trash star region this time; in just a few days you advanced from Half-Step God Sovereign to One-Star God Sovereign Realm—already a considerable gain."

Gui Ming smiled, "Still satisfactory."

If he continued to stay in that trashy Primordial Star Region, he would likely need tens of thousands of years to break through!

Their Strange Realm's invasions of other star regions also have distinctions of high and low, noble and base.

A place like the trashy Primordial Star Region is simply unfit for human habitation!

Just then, Gui Ming's expression suddenly changed.

An ancient orb appeared in his hand.

The orb emitted a "crack" sound as it broke.

Then it became utterly silent and dark.

Gui Ming frowned, "What is happening?"

Before, he could use this ancient orb to generate a faint sensation with the Primordial Star Region.

This is also a supreme treasure he uses to contact the Vice Sect Leader Gui Cang.

But now such a strange scene has actually appeared?

In the next instant, Gui Ming's hand seal transformed, a flow of utmost darkness surged toward the ancient orb, as he tried to activate the supreme secret technique to contact Gui Cang.

No response!

Even the ancient orb directly shattered!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Gui Ming exclaimed in shock, "What's going on?"

This supreme artifact is linked to the starry sky of the Primordial Star Domain; as long as the Primordial Star Domain is not destroyed, the artifact will endure forever.

Gui Ming's face turned extremely grim, "Something has happened in the Primordial Star Domain."

He was utterly puzzled.

Why has the Primordial Star Domain undergone a drastic change just a few days after he left?

Even with the combined forces of the Spirit Void Pill Sect and the Heavenly Origin Star Palace, they could not stand against the Strange Domain's great army even if they went all out.

As for the newly born heavenly way at the frontier of the star domain, it is utterly feeble, not worth mentioning.

Gui Ming muttered, "Who could it be? I need to go back."

The gray-robed elder said, "Very well. I will leave a strand of divine sense on you."

Saying that, he took out an ancient bronze fragment, "This is what I obtained in the God-Burial Abyss; it can unleash the power of a Two-Star God Sovereign, take it with you."

Gui Ming nodded, "Thank you."

Not long after.

Gui Ming led hundreds of his subordinates, piloting a cloud vessel, and directly left the God-Burial Abyss.

On the cloud vessel, Gui Ming's expression turned solemn, his whole body filled with killing intent.

Now he has reached the One-Star God Sovereign Realm; in the Primordial Star Domain, even gods who stand in his way are slain, and Buddhas who stand in his way are slain!

At this moment, one of his subordinates frowned and said, "My lord, could it be that other Strange Domain envoys have taken the opportunity to invade the Primordial Star Domain?"

Gui Ming said disdainfully, "The Primordial Star Domain is such a worthless, bird-shit star domain; no other God Sovereign would deign to take notice of it."

Now that he has broken through to the God Sovereign Realm, he increasingly looks down on the Primordial Star Domain.

He wants to switch to a star domain with greater potential!

Gui Ming's gaze was like a black long blade, slicing through the void, "I want to see just what petty troublemakers are causing chaos after I leave."

……

Primordial Star Domain.

Several days passed, and Ye Chen has been continuously refining the Primordial Star Domain.

All the Strange Domain envoys have been utterly annihilated!

The strange power has also vanished!

His gains have been immense.

His mastery of the alchemical Dao has surged again!

More importantly, his soul power has directly entered the Nine-Star Heavenly God Realm, surpassing even Ji Fuyao in strength.

The Primordial Star Domain has now been completely renewed.

All neglected affairs await revival!

These past few days, Lu Xuan has also been living very leisurely.

Ji Fuyao, Bai Li, A Li, and the Qingqiu gang seem to have discovered a new continent.

In their spare time from cultivation, they all give Lu Xuan shoulder and leg rubs.

It's extremely comfortable.

Xiao Qing, meanwhile, continuously refines numerous star domains and stars, her power soaring directly to the Five-Star God Sovereign Realm!

And this is after she has only refined half of the Primordial Star Domain's territory.

Xiao Qing sighed, "The branches of the World Tree have brought about a promotion, it's too overwhelming."

After a few more days, Lu Xuan looked at the starry sky and said to Ye Chen, "All right. The primordial star domain's regulatory power has now been perfected, forming a Great Dao cycle."

After these days of cultivation feedback, Lu Xuan's true cultivation has broken through to the Eight-Star Heavenly God Realm!

As for his insights into the Great Dao, they have exploded in abundance!

Xiao Qing looked at Lu Xuan, understanding he was about to leave, and asked, "Lu Xuan, when will you depart?"

Lu Xuan activated the Eye of Insight, scanned the Primordial Star Domain, nodded, and said, "Soon."

By chance, he saw Gui Ming and his party rapidly approaching from afar.

Lu Xuan's mouth curled slightly, "Gui Ming has returned; we'll wipe them out and then leave!"
