299: Return to Blue Star

"Safe? I'm safe my..." Feng Tianxiu nearly cursed out loud. He violently shook his head, as if trying to discard this absurd illusion. He circled Lin Yuan twice, scrutinizing him from top to bottom, and finally had to accept the ironclad truth. He shook his head with a bitter smile, "My goodness... Little Brother Lin, this... this speed of yours... I've lived my life in vain! Even a Flying Shuttle couldn't catch up to you!"

After his outburst of emotion, Feng Tianxiu quickly returned to his usual hearty self, but the deep reverence in his eyes lingered. He clapped Lin Yuan hard on the shoulder: "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! This time, are you..."

"Going home. Blue Star." Lin Yuan was concise.

Feng Tianxiu's expression instantly turned serious, and he understood: "The Burial God Abyss you mentioned before? I'll arrange the Teleportation Array leading to Blue Star right away! This way!" He asked no further questions, turning to lead the way with quick steps.

Passing through the familiar hall corridors, they soon arrived before a relatively small Teleportation Array deep within the branch. Feng Tianxiu personally stepped forward, quickly adjusted the coordinates, and embedded Spirit Stones.

"Little Brother Lin," Feng Tianxiu stood outside the array, his expression extremely solemn. "This journey is perilous, you must take care! My strength is low, and I can't offer much help, but if you need anything done in the Xuanxiao Great World, just give the command! You must return safely!"

Lin Yuan felt a slight warmth in his heart and nodded. With a wave of his hand, several jade bottles and boxes, shimmering with various lights, appeared out of thin air, suspended before Feng Tianxiu. The faint scent of pills wafted from the bottles, and precious Qi circulated within the boxes—all top-tier resources coveted by Cultivators in the Xuanxiao Great World.

"Big Brother Feng, take care. These might be useful to you. We shall meet again." Lin Yuan's voice was calm but sincere.

Feng Tianxiu looked at the priceless treasures before him, his eyes feeling slightly warm. He clasped his fists deeply: "Thank you for the generous gift, Little Brother! I will bear this in mind! Take care! We shall meet again!"

Buzz!

The light of the Teleportation Array flared, enveloping Lin Yuan's figure. This time, the destination was crystal clear—the Central Universe, Xuantian Star Domain, Purple Cloud Galaxy, Blue Star!

The spatial fluctuations violently shook, and Lin Yuan's figure gradually became transparent and blurry within the profound runic light. Feng Tianxiu stood outside the array, watching the disappearing figure, his expression complex and difficult to discern, finally dissolving into a long sigh.

The light of the Teleportation Array completely faded, and the last spatial ripple dissipated within the hall of the Spirit Martial Hall branch in the Xuanxiao Great World. Lin Yuan's consciousness acted like a stabilizing needle in the raging channel, ignoring the spatial turbulence capable of tearing apart stars, and precisely anchoring his way home.

The Void Realm of the Central Universe was vast and desolate. Its Origin Qi was far less dense and surging than that of the Taichu Divine Continent, yet it carried a unique sense of "emptiness" belonging to home.

The gravitational fluctuations of the Solar System became increasingly clear: Jupiter's colossal atmospheric vortex, Mars's crimson dust, the cluster of artificial satellites orbiting Earth... countless familiar coordinates flashed rapidly through his vast Divine Thought, pointing towards the azure star that occupied his dreams—Blue Star!

Closer! Even closer!

A slight ripple appeared in Lin Yuan's heart, the instinctive throbbing of a wanderer returning home. After ten thousand years of cultivation, tempered by blood and fire, he had finally become a Dao Lord and embarked on his journey back. He had returned! He had returned as a Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lord!

However, just as his Divine Thought was about to touch the coordinates of that azure planet—

An aura of cold, deathly silence, seemingly originating from the ultimate Void Realm of the Universe, brutally slammed into Lin Yuan's perception, like a monstrous beast that had suddenly awakened after slumbering in the abyss for countless years!

That was definitely no ordinary cosmic shadow!

It was viscous like congealed ink, yet it could slowly writhe and spread like a living thing. Wherever it passed, space itself emitted a silent wail, light was completely devoured, and the radiance of stars instantly dimmed and extinguished, like thin ice thrown into strong acid, without even a ripple of struggle. Cold! It was an absolute deathly silence that could freeze even the Soul! Despair! It was the ultimate Void Realm capable of grinding down all will to live!

It was like an incomparably massive, constantly expanding black curtain, encroaching upon the region occupied by the Solar System from the direction of deep space with a terrifying, seemingly slow yet truly unstoppable momentum! The Solar System's outermost Kuiper Belt had already been completely annihilated!

And Lin Yuan's Blue Star!

That azure planet, which held all his childhood memories and the Bloodline of his relatives, was now more than half submerged in that heart-stopping dark haze! Viewed on a cosmic scale, it resembled a fragile pearl half-enveloped by a gigantic, inky jellyfish. The remaining hemisphere struggled to reflect the sun's light, appearing so small and so... precarious against the backdrop of the boundless, viscous darkness!

"Burial God Abyss! Why has it spread all the way to Blue Star in less than a year! And why does this aura feel so familiar?"

Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle tip! In the depths of his Eyes of Chaos Star Sea Creation and Destruction, a raging flame capable of incinerating all heavens ignited for the first time! Witnessing it consuming his homeworld—that shock, that rage and violence stemming from the very root of his life—instantly shattered the mental barrier of a Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lord!

Buzz—!

An indescribably terrifying pressure erupted violently, centered on Lin Yuan! The chaotic spatial turbulence within a hundred zhang of his body instantly solidified and stilled the moment this pressure descended, like boiling water plunged into absolute zero, before soundlessly annihilating into the most primal Chaos particles!

He took one step!

This step seemed to traverse the distance of endless space. The light at the end of the Teleportation Array channel had just flared when Lin Yuan's figure, like a Chaos God-Demon tearing through the Void Realm, defiantly descended upon the cold edge of the Solar System—beyond the Kuiper Belt—directly confronting the all-consuming dark abyss!

His dark golden robes flapped loudly in the windless Void Realm, not blown by airflow, but by the Dao ripples stirred up by the fierce collision and annihilation between the immense Chaos Dao Rhyme contained within them and the encroding power of the darkness ahead!

His tall, straight figure stood before the darkness, minuscule as a speck of dust, yet resembling a Chaos Divine Mountain propping up heaven and Earth, forcefully blocking the viscous, cold, deathly silent dark tide in front of him!

Behind him was Blue Star, only half-azure and bathed in sunlight.

Before him was the Burial God Abyss, which devoured light and annihilated hope!

"Vile creature!" Lin Yuan's voice was not loud, yet it exploded in the silent Void Realm like the Chaos Divine Thunder that split heaven and Earth, carrying supreme majesty and heaven-burning fury that made the stars tremble: "How dare you invade my homeland—!!!"

As the last word fell, he held nothing back! The vast might of a Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lord completely erupted!

"Chaos Void Return Creation Seal—Suppress!"

Lin Yuan joined his fingers like a sword, pointing into the air toward the dark curtain that obscured the sky and sun!

At his fingertip, a point of primal Chaos light suddenly flared! Within that light, Creation and Return to Void, Devouring and Releasing, Order and Chaos... all manner of contradictory yet powerful Origin true intentions were forcefully governed by the Chaos Great Dao and fused into one! It was no longer a simple point of light, but a Chaos Dao Seal—condensed to the extreme, containing the dual mighty power of splitting heaven and Earth and the end of all things!
