89: Chapter 89 Fragmented World vs. Peach Blossom Paradise

The mecha legions of Jiuzhou Capital advanced in unison. A dense barrage of missiles tore through the sky, shoulder-mounted cannons roared in succession, and a torrent of metal crushed the airspace.

An invisible, ear-piercing ripple of sound waves swept across the field, attempting to shatter souls and disrupt the origin force field; this was the specialized sonic force field of Phantom Sound Entertainment.

In the shadows, assassins from the Blood Kill Alliance took advantage of the chaotic light and shadows to approach silently, their cold blades gathering a chilling glint as they aimed directly for Mo Yufei's vitals in the center of the field.

High-tech heavy artillery, mental interference, shadow assassinations—the capital camp's offensive was cunning, vicious, and utterly devoid of bottom lines.

Thousands of rogue cultivators from the Dawn Alliance erupted simultaneously!

Colorful flashes of supernatural abilities shot into the sky—windstorms, ice formations, surging flames, and rocky protrusions—as countless chaotic yet ferocious ability attacks descended like a blanket.

They had no organized battle tactics, relying on a mix of long-range and melee attacks in a chaotic encirclement, desperate to shatter the stalemate over the origin and seize the world core.

Three major camps, seven top-tier factions.

Countless lethal attacks tore through the air, bearing the momentum to crush everything. Ignoring the Federation formations and disregarding official warnings, they all poured down upon Mo Yufei in the center of the field!

It didn't matter if you were a native, if you had ill intent, or if the Federation recognized you!

Whoever blocks the path to the core dies!

The Federation commander's face turned livid, and he roared sternly, "Insolence! You ignore the Federation's laws and openly challenge official authority! All units, form defensive lines! Intercept!"

The heavy artillery of Taixu Heavy Industry rose instantly, and high-energy defensive barriers spread across half the field in a heartbeat.

Kunlun Technology activated a global interference force field, forcefully countering the sky-filling sound waves and assassination trajectories, while students from Xing Shu Academy erected spatial barriers to intercept the barrage of Daoist arts and supernatural attacks.

The battlefield of the secret realm, previously held in a four-way balance, instantly devolved into an all-out war with the Federation officially standing against the three major camps of Cultivation, Capital, and Dawn.

At the very center of the storm, Mo Yufei remained tightly bound by the origin force field of the seven-colored core, unable to move.

The mindless, unintelligent fragment core above his head continued to crazily devour his origin, completely oblivious to the earth-shattering war erupting below, which was powerful enough to annihilate everything.

Dabai's fur stood completely on end, its low growl shaking the forest as it blocked the path in front of Mo Yufei at all costs, facing the monstrous killing intent that filled the sky.

The killing intent descended!

Cultivation arrays locked the heavens and earth, capital artillery tore through the sky, and Dawn's supernatural powers raged.

The three factions completely ignored the Federation's obstruction, their countless lethal attacks piercing through layers of air with the momentum to destroy everything, heading straight for the immobile Mo Yufei in the center of the field.

The Federation official camp tried to intercept, but their energy barriers trembled violently, and their spatial barriers shattered layer by layer; they simply could not block the combined assault of the seven major factions unleashing their ultimate trump cards.

A desperate situation was imminent; death and annihilation were mere moments away.

Yet, in this split second of life and death, a flash of insight suddenly illuminated Mo Yufei's mind—the one who had been held hostage by the core's origin all this time—and he finally understood the crux of it all!

The Fragment World core above his head had no consciousness or thought; it possessed only the instinct of the origin.

The reason it had crossed the void to lock onto him and persisted in its crazed consumption was not to harm him, but because it had sensed the deeply rooted origin aura of the Taoyuan Secret Realm within him.

It craved a higher-order, complete world origin and instinctively wanted to devour, assimilate, and fuse with him to complete its own fragmented world.

From the beginning of the standoff until now, he had been passively defending.

Relying on his undying soul fire, he had stubbornly resisted the fragment core's crazed erosion, using his physical body to withstand the probing annexation of a world's origin, remaining in a stalemate and unable to break the deadlock.

Since defense was a dead end, what about an active counter-charge?

A crazy, bold idea that defied all common sense suddenly sprang into Mo Yufei's mind.

"You want to devour my origin?"

"Then I will let my secret realm counter-attack and take on your entire Fragment World! Things produced by the system shouldn't be that weak, right!"

With the thought settled, Mo Yufei no longer hesitated.

He abandoned all passive resistance and suddenly fully activated the long-dormant spatial connection!

In an instant, he opened the invisible void channel between himself and the Taoyuan Secret Realm.

Hum—

Invisible spatial ripples exploded from him as the center, and the void veins of the entire forest trembled violently.

The massive amount of supplies he had hoarded in his private space, the mountains of crystal ore and consumables, war ordnance, as well as all standby intelligent robots and the full suite of android combat units.

All of these were instantly transferred by spatial rules and stored within the territory of the Taoyuan Secret Realm, completely emptying his Portable Space just to forge the purest link between the two worlds.

Just as the two-world channel stabilized and the origin aura of Taoyuan broke through the void to connect with this Fragment World,

[Ding!]

[Detected external, incomplete world fragment and foreign origin core!]

[Taoyuan Secret Realm triggers advancement option: Lower-order Fragment World detected. Initiate — Origin Fusion?]

The cold, mechanical system prompt rang out abruptly in Mo Yufei's sea of consciousness.

"Fuse!"

He would directly annex this Fragment World, where constant slaughter and rivalries raged, into his own Taoyuan Secret Realm!

Mo Yufei raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the dense, murderous forces of the three major camps, watching the lethal attacks raining down on him, and seeing the madness of countless people who would stop at nothing and launch fierce wars to seize this core.

Four-way contention, countless bloodshed, chess-like maneuvering, and calculated traps.

Since you all are dying to have this fragment core, I will pull it up by the roots!

Mo Yufei gritted his teeth, a resolute, cold glint flashing in his eyes as he firmly committed to his decision!

"Fuse!"

As the word fell, the heavens and earth changed color!

The seven-colored fragment core hovering above, which had been raging violently, suddenly shook intensely. The sky-filling glow froze, and the tentacles of rules that had been tightly devouring his soul instantly stiffened.

Previously, it was the fragment core devouring him, but at this moment, the roles were reversed, and the hierarchy was upended!

The complete Taoyuan Secret Realm, far away in the unknown void, suddenly awakened. An endlessly vast and boundless world origin flowed along the opened void channel like a celestial river overturning and a confluence of ten thousand worlds, forcefully crushing its way in!

He had expected a long process of origin confrontation and slow integration between the two worlds, and had even prepared himself for his soul to endure further violent stretching and continued stalemate.

But the reality of the fusion speed was faster than he could have ever imagined!

The core, which had just been tightly binding his body and deadlocked with his soul for so long, seemed to have met its destined home, offering not the slightest struggle or resistance.

The colorful, luminous object that had been raging and filled with predatory instinct a second ago...

...in the next second, it followed the void channel Mo Yufei had opened, crossing the airspace instantly without any obstruction, disappearing into the spatial rift, and being forcefully guided into the Taoyuan Secret Realm!

There was no roar, no explosion, no earth-shattering collision.

The moment it entered the Taoyuan Secret Realm, this Fragment World core—which had caused the four camps to slaughter each other and could have overturned the entire situation—was like an extremely fragile soap bubble; with a single touch, it instantly dissolved and disintegrated.

The sky-filling seven-colored glow faded away, all the violent and malevolent origin energy vanished, and the countless tentacles of rules and binding force fields that had been locked onto Mo Yufei completely dissipated into thin air.

The suffocating stagnation that had gripped the entire forest vanished in an instant.

At the same time, a sense of control that was vast and boundless, encompassing all directions and covering the entire Fragment World, suddenly exploded from the depths of Mo Yufei's soul!

Mountains, rivers, dense forests, valleys, the boundaries of the secret realm, spatial rifts, and all the scattered laws of heaven and earth...

At this moment, every blade of grass, every tree, and every rule of the entire Fragment World belonged to his every thought!

He was no longer a mortal being imprisoned by the core and locked in a passive stalemate.

He had become the sole master of this fragmented world!

The process was extremely fast—so fast that all the experts and factions on the scene were completely unaware, and the sky-filling attacks that were right in their faces were still frozen in mid-air.
