553: The progenitor of cunning and treacherous insects!

[In the eleventh month, you begin to collect various resources from the Vast Immortal Domain.]

[immortal stone mine veins, Herb Gardens, Artifact Refining Materials, Formation Foundation Stones...]

[As long as it can be taken away, you do not leave a single thing behind.]

"Su Ming, isn't doing this a bit too heartless?"

[Sword One looks at an immortal stone mine vein you hollowed out and cannot help but ask.]

"Heartless?"

[You sneer.]

"When the people from Outer Heaven arrive, these things will only benefit them."

"Rather than leaving them for the enemy, it is better that we take them."

[Sword One is speechless.]

[In the twelfth month, you finally complete all the transfer work.]

[Within the Void World, there are hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, countless resources, and all the legacies of several Immortal Emperor forces.]

"It is time to leave."

[You stand at the edge of the Vast Immortal Domain, looking back at this land that is about to be engulfed in the flames of war.]

"Let's go."

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor and the others stand behind you.]

[You tear through space, leading everyone away from the Vast Immortal Domain.]

...[In the fourth year, you finally return to the Canglan Immortal Domain.]

[It is still the same desolate scene, but you know that the Canglan Realm lies deep within this immortal realm.]

"Canglan Realm... we are back."

[Zi You looks into the distance, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.]

[You lead the crowd through layers of spatial barriers, finally arriving at the entrance to the Canglan Realm.]

[The moment you step into the Canglan Realm, everyone is stunned.]

[The scene before them completely exceeds their imagination.]

[The heaven and earth are filled with Immortal Qi so dense it has almost liquefied.]

[Even the air is permeated with the aura of Dao Rhyme.]

"This... this is the Canglan Realm?"

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor looks at everything before him in shock.]

[Seven-colored Radiance floats in the sky, each wisp containing pure Immortal Qi.]

[The ground beneath their feet glows with a faint golden luster, traces of Dao Rhyme soaking in over many years.]

"This is impossible..."

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor stands behind you, his voice trembling.]

"Su Ming, the concentration of Immortal Qi here... has reached the level of the Vast Immortal Domain ten thousand years ago!"

[He reaches out to grab the air, and as his fingers close, a drop of liquid Immortal Qi actually condenses.]

"Not only that."

[Jian Lingtian squats down, carefully digging up a seemingly ordinary wild grass.]

"This is a Thousand-Year Purple Lingzhi; it is hard to find in the Vast Immortal Domain nowadays."

"But here... it is everywhere."

[His hands are shaking.]

[As the Sect Master of the Immortal Sword Manor, he has seen countless rare Spirit Medicines.]

[But the scene before him completely subverts his cognition.]

"Look over there!"

[Empress Cangqiong points toward a distant mountain peak.]

[On the mountainside, an entirely crimson spirit tree rises from the ground, its canopy blotting out the sun.]

"Is that... Phoenix Wood?"

"The divine tree that legend says only grows where a True Phoenix perches?"

[Everyone gasps.]

[You look at their shocked expressions, but your heart is calm.]

[As early as the first simulation, you knew the uniqueness of the Canglan Realm.]

[This is not just a refuge.]

[It is a treasure trove.]

[Before returning, you actually thought the situation in the Canglan Realm would be good, but after actually returning, it still exceeded your expectations.]

[You speak indifferently.]

"The resources here are enough for us to rebuild a new, massive power."

[Just as your voice falls.]

[The entire Canglan Realm suddenly shakes violently.]

[The Seven-colored Radiance in the sky instantly dissipates, replaced by an eerie blood-red color.]

"Not good!"

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's expression changes drastically.]

"Someone is manipulating the rules of this world!"

[Before his voice fades.]

[A huge gap suddenly tears open in the Void Realm.]

[A nauseating stench of decay gushes from the crack.]

[Following that, countless black tentacles crawl out of the crack, dense and blotting out the sky.]

"Jie jie jie..."

[A piercing laugh resounds through heaven and earth.]

"I have finally waited for you, Su Ming."

[In the blood-red sky, a figure slowly solidifies.]

[Its eyes are pure black, without a trace of white, revealing a heart-palpitating madness.]

"Guichong Ancestor!"

[You look at that figure and exclaim.]

"You really are here!"

[The Guichong Ancestor's gaze sweeps across everyone, finally landing on you.]

"Su Ming, did you think hiding here would be safe?"

"The Heavenly Dao of this world was devoured by me long ago."

"All of you are my prey!"

[It opens its arms as if embracing the entire world.]

"Can you feel it? The rules of this world are all under my control."

"Here, I am the Heavenly Dao!"

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor and the others' expressions are unsightly to the extreme.]

[They can clearly feel that the surrounding rules of heaven and earth are rejecting them.]

[It is as if the entire world is targeting them.]

"Su Ming, what do we do?"

[Empress Cangqiong asks in a low voice.]

[A hint of tension is intentionally shown on her face.]

[And you also intentionally shake your head, a hint of helplessness appearing on your face.]

"What do we do?"

"Of course..."

"Kill it."

[Your voice is calm, but it carries a heart-palpitating killing intent.]

[The Guichong Ancestor is stunned for a moment, then bursts into laughter.]

"Hahaha! Kill me?"

"With just you people?"

"I am currently at the Immortal Emperor Realm, and I also control the Heavenly Dao rules of this world!"

"What do you have to kill me?"

[Its laughter stops abruptly.]

[Because it suddenly discovers that the auras of those behind Su Ming have begun to change.]

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor and the others, who were originally only in the Immortal Sovereign Realm, have their auras begin to climb frantically.]

[Early Stage Immortal Emperor!]

[Middle Stage Immortal Emperor!]

[Five terrifying Immortal Emperor pressures erupt simultaneously, and the entire Canglan Realm trembles.]

"This... this is impossible!"

[For the first time, panic appears in the Guichong Ancestor's voice.]

"How can you all be Immortal Emperors?"

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor sneers.]

"Thanks to Su Ming's reminder, we hid our cultivation in advance."

"Otherwise, you really might have escaped."

"Guichong Ancestor, today is the day you die."

[Empress Cangqiong condenses a star in her hand.]

"Daring to possess the Heavenly Dao, you certainly have some guts."

[The other two Immortal Emperors also release their auras one after another.]

[Five Great Immortal Emperors strike simultaneously.]

[This power is enough to shake the entire Canglan Realm.]

[The Guichong Ancestor's face becomes incredibly ugly.]

"Damn it!"

"You planned this all along!"
