297: Leaving the 903 Divine Realm

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, floating in the center of a relatively calm current of air. His entire aura was restrained to the extreme, as if returning to its original simplicity. The upheaval of 903 Divine Domain, the resentment of the Prodigies, and the gravity of the Domain Lord all seemed separated from him by an invisible barrier.

He had just completed a breathtaking transformation. The rank nine chaos wings behind his back, which had once torn through the Void Realm and devoured all laws, had now completely disappeared, turned into flying ash. Replacing them was the primal dao bone that had integrated into his entire spine!

Deep within that crystal-clear bone substance, mysterious and flowing Chaos dao patterns were everywhere. At times, they evolved into the Primordial Purple Qi that opened the heavens and earth; at others, they condensed into a vortex of the Abyss Ruin that buried the heavens; and at still other times, they manifested strange scenes of the cycle of life and death or space-time travel.

“The Myriad Dao Realm restriction has been lifted.” A sharp light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, like a bolt of lightning cutting through Chaos. “Leaving for now.”

His mind was set; there was no need to stay. He took a step forward, and his figure suddenly blurred, as if merging into space itself.

Buzz!

Space rippled out like water, and Lin Yuan's figure appeared on the boundless platform surrounding 903 Divine Domain, which had been temporarily constructed by various forces of the Taichu Divine Continent. Lin Yuan arrived beside the towering, ancient, giant teleportation array of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

The array's foundation was built from unknown dark-gold Divine Stones, engraved with spatial runes of extreme complexity. At this moment, they were glowing slightly, clearly having been used by a powerful being just recently.

Ignoring the suspicious looks of the surrounding guards, he directly used his Divine Thought to trigger the primal divine seal. An intention crossed space and was precisely sent into the deep core of the teleportation array—it was a private transmission secret method leading directly to the Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Abyss Without Path.

After less than three breaths, the light at the core of the teleportation array suddenly intensified! A majestic and noble figure wearing a dark black dragon robe appeared directly on the array eye, accompanied by dense spatial fluctuations. It was the Tianyuan Crown Prince, Abyss Without Path!

His gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto Lin Yuan outside the array. When he sensed the natural, unfathomable aura on Lin Yuan that was like a walking Chaos Great Dao, Abyss Without Path's pupils, deep as an abyss, suddenly shrank. For the first time, an irrepressible look of shock appeared on his face.

“Brother Lin... you...” His voice had a pause of disbelief, his gaze scanning Lin Yuan repeatedly, finally turning into a complex and difficult-to-describe exclamation. “Dao Lord?! You have actually stepped into the Myriad Dao Realm?! How long has it been!”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his expression calm and waveless. “I was fortunate to have a Breakthrough. Your Highness, to make a long story short, I need to leave this domain immediately and return to my home Universe.”

“Leave?” Abyss Without Path's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of incomprehension and regret flashing in his eyes. “Brother Lin, this is a Divine Domain where the Grandmist has just opened! The laws of heaven and earth are manifesting, and Opportunities are everywhere! This is the perfect time to stabilize your Realm and strike for higher levels! With your talent, reaching the peak of Hunyuan within a hundred years is no fantasy! To leave now, isn't it...”

“My home is in trouble; I must return.” Lin Yuan interrupted him, his tone resolute and carrying an unquestionable decisiveness. “My homeland is about to be swallowed by the Burial God Abyss; any delay will bring changes.”

Hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Abyss Without Path's eyes, and he instantly understood Lin Yuan's urgency. As the Crown Prince of an Imperial Dynasty, he knew the weight of one's homeland in a Cultivator's heart. After a moment of silence, he nodded decisively. “I see! This is a matter of great righteousness! This Prince will immediately open the cross-domain teleportation to the East Heaven Gate of the Taichu Divine Continent for you! This array consumes a vast amount, but Brother Lin has performed great service for the Divine Domain and for my Tianyuan; I must naturally assist with all my strength!” He paused, looking at Lin Yuan with burning eyes and a hint of probing. “Only... Brother Lin stirred up such a storm in the depths of the Divine Domain this time, bringing the Myriad Dao Realm into the fray early and even causing the Heavenly Dao to issue several announcements... I wonder if that final ‘Opportunity’ is actually...”

Lin Yuan's thoughts flashed like lightning, instantly considering several ideas. The Chaos Mother Sea, the epoch tombstone, the primordial dao embryo's Origin... these world-shaking secrets, sufficient to overturn the structure of the heavens, could not be fully revealed now. Any slight slip could lead to unpredictable consequences.

But he looked at Abyss of No Way opposite him; the other's steady temperament and status as the Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty meant he was destined to eventually touch these core secrets.

“A few fragments wouldn't hurt to reveal first.”

His expression unchanged, he spoke calmly: “In the core of the Divine Domain, there is indeed a great creation concerning the Luck of the plane. However, its gestation is not yet complete. A hundred years from now, when it truly matures, it will manifest in the heart of the Divine Domain. At that time, it will be a ten-star Creation Secret Realm—the Hongmeng Origin World.”

“Ten-star!” Abyss Without Path sucked in a breath of cold air, a terrifying light instantly exploding in his eyes, and even his breathing quickened. A ten-star Creation Secret Realm! This had never appeared in the entire history of the Primal Plane! The Opportunity it represented was enough to make Domain Lords go mad and Saint Emperors covet it!

He suppressed the shock in his heart and gave Lin Yuan a deep look, no longer pressing for details. That Lin Yuan could reveal the ‘ten-star’ rating and the ‘hundred-year period’ was already a sign of great trust. “Good! The hundred-year period, this Prince has noted it! Brother Lin, you must succeed on this journey! I hope to see you again soon!”

With that, Abyss Without Path delayed no further. He abruptly raised his hand, and a token carved with a nine-clawed profound dragon, radiating vast Imperial Dao Dragon Qi, floated in his palm. The token shone brightly, resonating with the massive teleportation array foundation below.

“Heaven and Earth positioned, ten thousand worlds connected! Open—!”

Boom!

The entire teleportation array erupted with unprecedented brilliant light, and countless spatial runes frantically moved and combined on the foundation like golden dragons coming to life.

A spatial vortex, incredibly deep and seemingly containing billions of rotating stars, rapidly formed at the center of the array eye, emitting a terrifying suction that seemed to swallow the heavens. From the other end of the vortex, the heavy aura of a boundless barrier could be faintly sensed.

“Brother Lin, please!” Abyss Without Path shouted in a low voice, fine beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead. Maintaining this teleportation that crossed the immense barriers of the Divine Domain was a great burden even for him.

Lin Yuan cupped his fists slightly toward Abyss Without Path and, without another word, his figure turned into a streak of dark-gold light, plunging into the star-filled vortex without hesitation.

The vortex suddenly contracted, and the light faded away. All that remained were slight spatial ripples and the solemn gaze of Abyss Without Path.

Spatial travel across the barriers of a Divine Domain was far more violent than teleporting within one. The violent spatial turbulence was like billions of invisible sharp blades, frantically cutting at Lin Yuan's protective dao rhymes. Had he not possessed the Chaos dao bone, with all paths returning to the source, and the support of a Chaos Body at Major Achievement Perfection, a normal Myriad Dao Realm Cultivator would likely have been torn to shreds instantly.

Inside the tunnel, everything was bizarre and kaleidoscopic; the concepts of time and space became chaotic and blurred. After an unknown amount of time, an incredibly heavy chaotic light screen, appearing as if it had existed since ancient times, suddenly appeared ahead! Upon the light screen, countless Great Dao runes flowed ceaselessly like living things, radiating a supreme majesty that suppressed ten thousand worlds and isolated the inside from the outside!
