This creature to your left—you will never guess where it came from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he ordered the cloth covering it to be pulled away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A creature with pitch-black skin and twin wings on its back, its face resembling a Rakshasa demon, appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out a piercing shriek, its sonic waves seeming capable of shattering the spiritual core of any mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s…” Many cultivators rose to their feet, staring in disbelief at the monstrous creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger cultivators looked confused, unfamiliar with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But several elders, upon closer inspection, drew in sharp, startled breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… could it be a creature from the Alien Domain’s Tianmo lineage?” an elderly man with white hair and a fringe exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, many cultivators’ gazes sharply trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s from the Alien Domain?” Even some young prodigies showed expressions of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they had heard of the Alien Domain, they had never approached it, let alone known what its creatures looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes also flickered with intrigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that Yuan Tian the Supreme had once ventured into the Alien Domain and returned with the upper volume of the Body Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had also been tainted by the Alien Domain’s dark matter, ultimately meeting a tragic end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, friend, your insight is truly sharp. Correct—this is indeed a creature of the Alien Domain’s Tianmo lineage,” the host chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could a creature from the Alien Domain appear? Is the Alien Domain preparing to invade the Immortal Domain again?” Some elders could not calm their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such events had happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had once caused the annihilation of countless beings in the Immortal Domain—no ordinary sect could withstand them, let alone the immortal clans, many of which were wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That level of catastrophe could engulf the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single pure land would remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You overstate it, friend. The Alien Domain has been quiet for a long time—only minor skirmishes, occasional creatures slipping into the Immortal Domain, all eventually slain or captured,” the host smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, several elders exhaled slightly in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, everyone began to closely examine the Tianmo creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, who’d have thought we’d actually catch a living Tianmo? They’re an elite race from the Alien Domain,” one cultivator murmured in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alien Domain, like the Immortal Domain, contained countless races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many powerful clans, even immortal imperial clans—such as the Gu Lan, Bi An, and Zu An clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Tianmo clan was not yet an immortal imperial clan, it was still a mighty royal lineage with deep roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see a living Tianmo was an exceedingly rare sight for those present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a mighty Tianmo clan from the Alien Domain—the slave facing it is doomed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. The aura in the other cage is strong too, but it’s up against the Alien Domain’s Tianmo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other cage had not yet been unveiled, but nearly everyone present believed the Tianmo would win decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was an elite race from the Alien Domain—its strength was instinctively intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the host stroked his beard and said: “Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly. The other slave’s strength is also formidable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the cloth over the iron cage was pulled aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cage sat a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long black hair trailed to the ground, his upper body bare, his skin inscribed with golden patterns that converged at his chest, forming a sun totem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equally striking were the numerous grotesque scars across his body—each one deeper than the last, making one wonder how he had even survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the man’s eyes were closed, utterly indifferent to the commotion around him, as if in deep meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the young man, many cultivators were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had expected some extraordinary figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was merely a young man whose cultivation seemed decent at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Alien Domain’s Tianmo, the man was disappointingly unimpressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t underestimate him. He is likely from the Profound Heaven Immortal Domain and may be an heir of a top-tier sect,” the host said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Profound Heaven Immortal Domain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, some cultivators’ gazes flickered with renewed interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the Nine Immortal Domains lay boundless cosmic seas and dimensional voids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing from one Immortal Domain to another was no simple feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s cultivation level clearly wasn’t exceptionally high—he must have been brought here by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the young man refused to speak of his identity or origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wanbao Trading Society clearly had no knowledge of the Profound Heaven Immortal Domain’s sects, so they could not determine his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They merely used his origin as a gimmick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, both combatants were revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet any observant person could see the Tianmo’s victory was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the young man, though he hailed from the Profound Heaven Immortal Domain, no one knew his identity or lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew which sect he inherited from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, almost no one bet on him to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet sixty immortal sources—Alien Domain Tianmo wins,” Yin Yang Holy Son wagered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was free money—only a fool wouldn’t bet on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet fifty immortal sources—Alien Domain Tianmo wins,” said the nobleman beside Yin Yang Holy Son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Prince Xia Lan of the Great Xia Empire and also a Holy Son of the Sacred Spirit Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll bet ten immortal sources… I’m poor,” Hua Xiqing sighed regretfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Jin Chixiaopeng, Ye Xingyun, and others also wagered on the Tianmo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, this was a guaranteed win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a voice came from a lavish private booth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We bet on the young man to win—four hundred immortal sources!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the entire arena fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every eye turned sharply toward the booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I hear that right? Four hundred immortal sources? Who’s this billionaire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even an heir of an immortal clan wouldn’t casually spend this much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And betting against the Tianmo? Are they trying to lose their pants?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The voice sounds like… that Divine Dynasty’s eldest princess…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arena erupted in uproar; many were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the trading society’s young master, Gan Duo, had personally escorted Jun Xiaoyao into the VIP booth, so no one knew it was his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Wu Mingyue entered, and everyone assumed it was the Divine Dynasty’s eldest princess’s booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, that princess is truly a wealthy woman—too bad she’s so cold,” Yin Yang Holy Son chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed Wu Mingyue was simply wasting immortal sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the crowd buzzed, the young man seated in the iron cage, who had been meditating with closed eyes, suddenly opened them and stared directly at Jun Xiaoyao’s booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pure golden eyes, covered in runes, were as sharp as an eagle’s—piercing through space to lock gaze with Jun Xiaoyao.\u003C\u002Fp>",1293,"2026-06-20T23:29:44.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8b2a8e2e1b7a13fc2641d77e4e6038cc95c7d85fdec45966caa6144b1d4449b8","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-143","starting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-chapter-141",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-wasteland-sacred-body-cover.jpg"]
