362: A great catastrophe is about to begin
Wang Xianyu's Spirit Communication Dao Body successfully advanced to a Divine Physique, and both her Physical Body strength and innate Divine Ability achieved a leap in improvement.
Wang Xianzhi also ascended in one step, Awakening a Thunder-attribute Divine Physique, which perfectly complemented the Law of Thunder he cultivated.
However, the aura of his newly acquired Divine Physique seemed somewhat different from Xiao Zhuo's own Thunder Divine Body.
The Two Little Ones, after bidding farewell to the other Prodigies one by one, came before Xiao Zhuo.
"Not bad!" Xiao Zhuo said with an approving smile, patting Wang Xianzhi's shoulder.
Wang Xianzhi showed a knowing smile, unable to hide his excitement for his new Divine Physique.
Wang Xianyu looked at Young Master and her brother, her eyes also filled with smiles.
The three boarded the passenger boat sent by Penglai Holy Land and directly reached the Small World's exit.
Xiao Zhuo was surprised to find that Nie Qianji was waiting there, intending to personally see him off.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries as they walked; Nie Qianji's intention this time was clearly to foster a closer personal relationship.
After leaving Penglai, Xiao Zhuo summoned his dark gold tower ship and headed straight for the boundary sea.
On the ship's rail, Wang Xianyu quietly came behind Xiao Zhuo, who was leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, and asked playfully, "Young Master! I heard you refined six Immortal Pools by yourself. What kind of Physique do you actually have?"
Xiao Zhuo knew this girl was purely curious and had no other intentions. He gently stroked her hair and said indifferently, "The same as your brother's."
The little girl pouted suspiciously, clearly not believing him, but she obediently refrained from asking further, simply staying quietly by Xiao Zhuo's side, watching the scenery below rapidly pass by.
Blood Demon Realm.
Blood Palace, Blood God Hall.
Xue Tian sat high on his throne, his elbow resting on the armrest, one hand supporting his chin, an imposing aura emanating from him.
Below the throne, the Elders of Blood Palace stood in solemn formation, like subjects presenting themselves before their monarch.
The three former giants of the Elder Council had all advanced to True Immortal and stood at the very front of the crowd.
Xue Qin and Cao Yunqing, who had also newly advanced to True Immortal, stood to the left and right below Xue Tian's throne.
"Has the demonic insect plague been quelled?" Xue Tian's indifferent voice came from the throne.
Cao Yunqing on the right immediately rose and bowed respectfully: "Reporting, Old Ancestor! The main force of the demonic insects has been annihilated by our palace. Only scattered swarms remain, roaming various continents, and their complete eradication will take time. Furthermore, this Disciple has dispatched elite teams to investigate the depths of the Infernal Abyss, but there has been no word back yet."
"No matter." Xue Tian nodded slightly, "This demonic insect plague was merely a preliminary probe by the will of the boundary sea, sensing that our boundary realm has gathered nine Middle Thousand Realm Domain Origins. When this Old Ancestor fully integrates the last Origin into this boundary realm's Origin, the true tribulation will descend."
He scanned the people in the hall with his gaze: "Old Ancestor, is it about to begin?" Cheng Tianzong, unable to hide his excitement, stepped forward and asked.
"In three days, this Old Ancestor will assist the Heavenly Dao in integrating the last Origin. At that time, heaven and earth will undergo drastic changes. All of you must remain vigilant and protect the lives of our Blood Demon Realm!" Xue Tian said in a deep voice, his words containing a warning, "If the great tribulation begins, the more lives preserved, the more immense the Luck our boundary realm will gain!"
"We are willing to give our all for the Blood Demon Realm's advancement, even if it means death and soul annihilation, we shall not regret it!" Xue Qin was the first to kneel, and everyone in the hall shouted in unison, their voices shaking the palace.
A hint of satisfaction flashed across Xue Tian's face: "Very good!"
Before his words finished, his figure had already vanished without a trace.
The Blood Demon Realm's path to advancement officially entered its countdown.
On the other side, Immortal Realm Heavenly Court, Emperor Imperial Palace.
In the spacious main hall, a middle-aged man with purple hair draped over his shoulders, wearing a purple robe with blue stars, was contemplating a star-patterned chessboard, holding a chess manual.
As soon as a white piece was placed, urgent footsteps came from outside the hall.
A silver-armored Heavenly General entered the hall and knelt on one knee ten paces away: "Reporting, Emperor! Urgent report from the Heavenly Eye Pavilion: A Middle Thousand Realm Domain 'Blood Demon Realm' in the southwestern boundary sea has gathered nine Middle Thousand Realm Domain Origins and is about to trigger the tribulation of advancement! Please make your decision, Emperor!"
"Another overconfident fool?" The middle-aged man was none other than the current Emperor Emperor.
His gaze remained on the chessboard, his tone indifferent, as if he had heard nothing more than a trivial matter.
He did not respond immediately, picking up a black piece with his fingertips, pondering the chess manual for a moment, then slowly making his move.
The Heavenly General bowed his head and held his breath, not daring to urge him.
After another half an incense stick's time, the Emperor Emperor seemed to remember there was someone in the hall and casually waved his hand: "Have Jing Xiong take some men to check it out. If that so-called Blood Realm miraculously succeeds in Undergoing Tribulation, then simply destroy it and collect its Luck. A mere Middle Thousand Realm Domain, presuming to transform and advance in the Immortal-Demon Realm boundary sea, truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
The Heavenly General acknowledged the order and bowed, then retreated.
The Emperor Emperor's gaze returned to the chessboard, a slight smile playing on his lips as his fingertips traced the chess manual: "Wonderful... Once this Emperor's chess skills improve, I will surely defeat that old fellow from the South Pole completely!"
Xiao Zhuo, of course, knew nothing of this.
The master and two subordinates, plus a small fox demon, were now in the vast boundary sea.
Xiao Zhuo found a desolate, dead star and personally set up a Great Teleportation Array.
As silver array patterns lit up one after another, spatial power converged, and a deep wormhole slowly opened in the center.
"Follow me!" Xiao Zhuo called out, stepping in first.
The Two Little Ones and Yun Duo followed closely behind.
Inside the wormhole, light flowed in brilliant colors, and outside the twisted spatial barriers, countless light and shadow projections of strange worlds flashed by like a revolving lantern.
Xiao Zhuo was already accustomed to this sight; it was common to glimpse projections of other boundary realms during spatial jumps.
In just over a hundred breaths, the end of the wormhole appeared.
Stepping out of the wormhole, they found themselves in a star belt filled with countless floating debris.
Xiao Zhuo raised his hand, and an energy star map several zhang in size appeared. His Divine Sense simultaneously spread out like a tide, instantly covering hundreds of millions of li of the Void Realm.
After more than ten breaths, the star map vanished.
"It's quite close." He had already pinpointed the Blood Demon Realm's location, which was much closer than expected. Even without spatial Divine Abilities, just by navigating with a boundary sea spaceship, they could arrive within two days.
Xiao Zhuo raised his hand, and a silver-white, streamlined spaceship appeared out of thin air, exuding an alien technological style. It was one of his spoils of war.
This High-grade Heavenly Tier flying ship, though not as fast as the dark gold tower ship, was comparable to the escape speed of an ordinary Golden Immortal.
The three people and one fox entered the spaceship's main control room.
Xiao Zhuo input the star map coordinates, and a holographic star map immediately appeared in the center of the control room, with a prominent red dot marking the Blood Demon Realm's location.
"Shortened name, you take control." Xiao Zhuo transferred the authority to Wang Xianzhi, then turned and walked into the cabin to rest.
The path of cultivation requires a balance of effort and relaxation.
At this moment, the panel was deducing the Great Dao of Time and Space, and his cultivation had reached a Bottleneck. He only needed to wait quietly.
Once the Great Dao of Time and Space was integrated, and the Dao Principle of Freedom's supporting Dao once again transformed into three paths, and he pushed the zizai world to the Middle Thousand Realm Domain level, that would be the starting point of his grand plan to prove the Dao through power.
As someone with a panel, how could Xiao Zhuo's ambition be to be confined to a single great boundary realm like an ordinary saint position?
He possessed the panel, and he still wanted to see what the Divine-Grade and Chaos-grade Cultivation Techniques defined in the panel actually looked like.
The next day, the silver-fluid spaceship was navigating the boundary sea.
Not far ahead, a vast wormhole of time and space suddenly appeared.
Xiao Zhuo, who was lying down in the cabin, was immediately startled.
Wang Xianzhi, who was controlling the spaceship, also immediately turned the ship, narrowly avoiding the wormhole.
