413: Return

"He can actually resist it?"

This discovery shocked Xiao Zhuo, and a bold, almost crazy idea uncontrollably emerged: Could he, with the Time-Space Dao Fruit and the newly comprehended "Black Hole Devour," briefly delve into the edge of a true black hole's event horizon to explore it?

Perhaps incredible Opportunities were hidden deep within the black hole that devoured countless stars!

However, as soon as the thought arose!

A bone-chilling, terrifying sense of Danger Perception, capable of freezing the Divine Soul, pierced Xiao Zhuo's Sea of Consciousness like a million steel needles!

His hairs stood on end, and his heart stopped!

The Danger Perception frantically warned him, transmitting fragmented and horrifying images: delving into the darkness, being instantly torn apart, assimilated, and reduced to eternal nothingness by an incomprehensible, irresistible ultimate power... Cold sweat instantly drenched Xiao Zhuo's back.

He sharply shook his head, forcefully extinguishing this crazy thought.

"It's not time yet... This power is far beyond what I can touch right now..." Xiao Zhuo glanced at the deep black hole with lingering fear, then decisively turned around.

"Zizai Realm!" With a thought, the Time-Space Dao Fruit in his glabella rotated.

Although he had been cast away by the river of time, spanning long years, his connection to the Origin of the zizai world he had opened was like a lighthouse in the dark night, always guiding him with perfect clarity.

"Time-Space Great Teleportation!"

Xiao Zhuo's figure suddenly blurred, and with a single step, he vanished from his original spot.

In the vast Boundary Sea, stars revolved.

Having achieved Quasi-Saint status and condensed the Time-Space Dao Fruit, Xiao Zhuo's teleportation abilities were no longer comparable to the past.

Each flash spanned tens of thousands of light-years!

Space folded beneath his feet, and the vastness of the Boundary Sea rapidly shortened.

After merely a hundred teleports, a familiar yet strange Star Domain appeared at the edge of his perception!

However, when Xiao Zhuo's gaze fell upon the original location of the Zizai Realm—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening energy explosions roared, accompanied by countless dazzling magical light rays, impacting his senses like a raging tide!

Outside the Zizai Realm's originally stable boundary wall, it was actually surrounded by densely packed, diverse war warships, massive Magical Artifacts, and powerful Immortal figures!

Countless silver-armored Heavenly Soldiers formed military formations in the Void Realm, frantically bombarding the boundary wall under the command of the Heavenly Commander/Lord General.

Above the boundary wall, light flashed wildly, and countless defensive runes flickered, clearly enduring immense pressure!

Further out in the depths of the Boundary Sea, terrifying explosion fluctuations emanated, indicating that Quasi-Saint level powerhouses were still engaged in battle.

Xiao Zhuo's figure silently appeared in the Void Realm at the edge of the battlefield, his black robe spotless.

His gaze swept over the vast military formation besieging the Zizai Realm, watching the energy ripples constantly exploding on the boundary wall.

An extremely cold killing intent, like ancient ice suddenly unsealed after ten thousand years, instantly spread!

The surrounding Void Realm actually shattered inch by inch with his killing intent!

At the core of the Zizai Realm, in the Zizai Hall.

Cao Xiaochuan, clad in a black robe with golden trim, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on several light walls, observing the countless Heavenly Army attacking the boundary wall, his expression cold.

Wang Xianzhi and Wang Xianyu at his side also wore solemn expressions.

"The Heavenly Court actually found this place! These ancient powers are truly terrifying!" Wang Xianzhi's voice was low, his Battle Intent burning in his eyes.

"After this battle, we must leave this Star Domain as soon as possible!" Wang Xianyu's brows were furrowed with worry, "Fortunately, it's only the Gouchen Heavenly Army that came!"

"Senior Dilamon is holding off Emperor, and the Great Thousand World Origin left by Revered Master is enough to sustain us for a long time. Without a Quasi-Saint making a move, even if they have four Immortal Kings, they won't be able to break through the boundary wall in a short while." Cao Xiaochuan's tone was calm, then he turned to the other side, "Uncle Yuan, how are the Star-Ring Teleportation Arrays coming along?"

"It still needs an hour!" Yuan Tian's voice came.

If a mighty being were to look down, they would find that around the giant cities of the Zizai Realm, divided into nine continents, a massive amount of array patterns were slowly lighting up, continuously accumulating energy—this was the "Star-Ring Teleportation Array" personally set up by Dilamon, a gigantic divine array capable of moving the entire Middle Thousand Worlds.

As early as a hundred years ago, Cultivators from the Zizai Realm who ventured out discovered traces of the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Army in this Star Domain, which they called the "Falling Star Sea," and reported it to the Zizai Realm's high-level officials. Wang Xianzhi and his/her siblings knew about Xiao Zhuo's enmity with the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Army, and thus were prepared, asking Dilamon to set up contingency plans in advance.

They just didn't understand how the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Army found this place.

In the great calamity of the Blood Demon Realm, Xiao Zhuo remained hidden behind the scenes. The only enmity he had with the Heavenly Army was crippling one of the Great Dao of Startling Bear, the Commander/Lord General of the Gouchen Heavenly Army.

He never expected that before Xiao Zhuo returned, those seeking revenge would already be at their doorstep.

It was actually Emperor Emperor himself, leading four great Commanders/Lord Generals, to besiege them!

"It must be a mighty being skilled in the Dao of destiny who guided them!" A young man in a star-patterned Dao robe stepped forward two paces, coming to Cao Xiaochuan's side.

This person was named Cao Yu, a rising star of the Cao family, who had now reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm and was particularly adept at heavenly mechanism divination.

"Yu'er! If such a mighty being intervenes, even if we escape with the teleportation array this time, won't it be difficult to escape next time?" Cao Xiaochuan frowned.

"Head of the family, don't worry!" Cao Yu explained, "Our Zizai Realm has the Great Thousand World Origin left by Old Ancestor suppressing it, and the destiny golden dragon has also reached the peak of the Middle Thousand Worlds. Yu'er speculates that even if that mighty being can deduce, he can only calculate the approximate location of the Zizai Realm, and will certainly pay a considerable price, making it absolutely impossible to use frequently."

"Revered Master severely wounded the Gouchen Heavenly Army outside the Blood Demon Realm back then, crippling an Immortal King's Great Dao. The Immortal King outside the realm right now is here for revenge!" Wang Xianzhi said in a deep voice, his gaze falling on a burly figure in the light wall.

"When I traveled the Immortal Realm in the past, I heard that Emperor Emperor was extremely protective of his own and held grudges, and it truly lives up to its reputation!" Wang Xianyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, "It's just... if the other party asked a mighty being to deduce, their target should be Revered Master's whereabouts. Revered Master has been missing for a thousand years, how did they find the Zizai Realm?"

"Presumably, that mighty being failed to deduce Old Ancestor's whereabouts, but unexpectedly glimpsed the Karma connection between the Zizai Realm and Old Ancestor, and thus came here!" Cao Yu speculated.

"Regardless of the reason, the visitors are hostile! This is the Karma Revered Master incurred back then, and we, his Disciples, naturally inherit it." Wang Xianzhi's gaze was firm, his voice resolute, "After we escape this danger, the Zizai Realm will be entrusted to Senior Brother. Yu'er and I have reached the Golden Immortal Realm; this realm is our limit, and staying here means no further progress. It's better to travel the Boundary Sea, seeking Breakthrough Opportunities! In the future, we can also protect the beings of the Zizai Realm and safeguard this foundation for Revered Master!"

Wang Xianyu nodded upon hearing this, and the Cloud spirit pet on her shoulder also shook its head, seemingly expressing agreement.

Before his words finished, an abrupt change occurred outside!

Among the Gouchen Heavenly Army's fleet of warships, countless Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Commanders/Lord Generals swarmed out, quickly forming massive arrays.

Visible, majestic Immortal power began to gather frantically, and even across the boundary wall, Cao Xiaochuan and the others felt a great threat!

"It's an Immortal Army battle formation!" Wang Xianzhi's expression changed, and he urgently shouted, "Senior Brother! Quickly use the Great Thousand World Origin to reinforce the boundary wall!"

Cao Xiaochuan had already reacted, swiftly forming Immortal seals.

The Zizai Origin floating in front of everyone burst with light, and a more vast and majestic Great Thousand World Origin emerged above it, with strands of Origin Qi cascading down.

That Zizai Origin had long transformed into a miniature model of the Zizai Realm, with the boundary wall rendered vividly.

At this moment, as the Great Thousand World Origin Qi cascaded upon it, the miniature boundary wall immediately doubled in thickness, and countless profound runes circulated and flickered, its defensive power soaring!

Everyone in the hall had solemn expressions.

After a thousand years of development, although the Zizai Realm had entered the ranks of top Middle Thousand Worlds, in terms of the foundation of powerful beings, how could it contend with the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Army?

If the boundary wall broke, all would be lost!

Outside, the four great Commanders/Lord Generals of the Gouchen Heavenly Army stood above four military formations, their bodies surging with majestic Immortal power.

With the blessing of the battle formations, their power had temporarily reached the threshold of a Quasi-Saint.
