161: Chapter 161 Sign-in: Immortal Five Suppresses the Desolate Ground, A Drop of Holy Blood Suppresses the Ark

“Hehe, this is not Wuyou Township!”

As a transmigrator, Ye Xiu naturally knew the answer!

How could this be Wuyou Township?

This was clearly a grave of despair, carrying the hopes of countless people, only to end up completely stranded on the road of escape!

Qin Mu's state of mind almost collapsed at this moment.

He had grown up listening to the heroic legends of the Founding Emperor fighting against the gods in a Heaven-Defying manner, passed down by word of mouth by the elders of Canlao Village.

He had always believed that Wuyou Township was the final pure land, accumulating endless power and ready to launch a counter-attack against the Heavenly Court at any moment.

But now, the cruel reality was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly shattering all of his illusions.

There was no indestructible fortress, and no counter-attacking army preparing for war.

There was only a broken ship that had its spine broken, hiding in the depths of the Void Realm to drag out its feeble existence!

Looking at the awe-inspiring yet endlessly tragic Ark of the Other Shore before his eyes...

Looking at the despondent Qin Mu beside him, Ye Xiu felt not a shred of sympathy. Instead, he raised his head...

...and let out an extremely arrogant, even deeply mocking, harsh sneer.

“Hahaha! What a Wuyou Township! What an Ark of the Other Shore!”

Ye Xiu's bright red Dragon-patterned wedding robe fluttered loudly in the turbulent currents of the Void Realm. He pointed a single finger at the massive refugee dreadnought ahead.

A supreme contempt that saw through all illusions and reigned supreme shone in his heterochromatic gold and silver eyes.

“Qin Mu! Open your eyes wide and look closely for me!

This is the so-called 'hope' left to you by the Founding Emperor whom you've been yearning for!”

Ye Xiu's voice was like a resonant bell, each word striking the heart, echoing in the dead silence of the Void Realm:

“What 'Other Shore'?

It is nothing more than a giant moving coffin built by a pack of stray dogs whose bones were broken and courage shattered by the Heavenly Court!”

“They thought that by hiding in the Void Realm and building such a big ship, they could live without worries?

How utterly foolish!

If they don't dare to draw their swords against heaven, no matter how large an ark they build, they cannot hide the cowardice and pathetic nature in their bones!”

Ye Xiu's merciless and heart-wrenching words made Qin Mu's entire body shudder.

If one dares not face the Heavenly Court, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, how could they truly be 'without worries'?

“The Village Chief and the others... they must have seen this scene too...”

Qin Mu clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms as blood dripped down.

He could not imagine how the Dao Hearts of those elders in Canlao Village, who had regarded the Founding Emperor as their faith for their entire lives...

...would suffer such a devastating collapse when they rushed into this Void Realm full of hope, only to see a broken escape ship laden with bones!

No wonder the jade pendant guided them here like crazy, and no wonder the Young Girl Ancestral Master sent out such a desperate Divine Thought for help!

They weren't trapped by a confusing Formation; they were trapped to death by this suffocating despair!

“Brother Ye, let's go save them!”

Qin Mu abruptly raised his head, the confusion in his eyes completely gone, replaced only by an extremely resolute ferocity.

“Even if the Founding Emperor is a coward, I absolutely cannot leave the Village Chief and the others in this coffin!”

“That's more like it! That's more like someone trained by my Heavenly Demon Sect!”

Ye Xiu patted Qin Mu's shoulder, an extremely brutal Battle Intent flashing in his eyes.

“It's just a broken ship. Since the Village Chief and the others have suffered on it, I'll go up today and tear this broken ship apart!”

“Qin Mu, sail the boat! Get us close!”

“Boom!!”

Under Qin Mu's wild steering, the moon boat was like a frenzied beast.

It forcefully pushed aside the surrounding void storms that were enough to shred anything, and drew close to the Ark of the Other Shore with extreme dominance!

“Crack... Crack...”

However, just as the moon boat had come within a hundred feet of the Ark of the Other Shore, a sudden change occurred!

An extremely ancient Formation fluctuation, filled with endless malice and destruction, suddenly awakened from the ruined deck of the Ark of the Other Shore.

Following that, before Qin Mu's horrified eyes, in the ruined cities stretching for thousands of miles along the edge of the ark...

...dense crowds of ancient corpses, covered in red hair and emitting a foul stench and Death Qi, actually crawled out!

In life, these red-haired corpses were Heavenly Gods and heavenly generals who had died in battle during the Founding Emperor era. Even after tens of millions of years, their physical bodies remained uncorrupted.

Now awakened by the ark's defense mechanism, they had transformed into void beasts that knew only slaughter!

Not only that, the surviving Founding Emperor Formation patterns in the sky above the ark turned into crisscrossing bloody lightning filling the sky.

Like a giant meat-grinder network, it tightly sealed off all entrances to the ship.

“Roar!!!”

Tens of thousands of red-haired divine corpses let out shrill roars, swarming to the edge of the ark.

The terrifying Death Qi was on the verge of corroding and penetrating the jade-green protective shield of the moon boat.

“Brother Ye! Watch out!”

Qin Mu cried out in alarm from within the Hall of Defense: “The residual killing Formations on this ark and these red-haired monsters are too terrifying!

Every single one of them has a physical strength no less than the Divine Bridge Realm! This is not a path of retreat left for anyone; this is a silent, forbidden slaughterhouse!”

At this moment, Qin Mu finally understood completely why the Village Chief, the Young Girl Ancestral Master, and the others were trapped here.

Even for peerless experts, falling into this kind of void death Formation with no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi replenishment and filled with terrifying beasts, being worn down to death was only a matter of time!

However, standing at the bow of the ship, Ye Xiu looked at the bloody lightning striking down from the sky and the tide of red-haired divine corpses rushing toward him.

Not only did he show no fear, but an extremely excited grin curled up at the corners of his mouth.

“A forbidden land of great danger? I love challenging places like this the most!”

Ye Xiu held his wine gourd and threw his head back to take a large gulp, his bright red Dragon-patterned wedding robe appearing even more eerie amidst the bloody Formation lightning.

“Qin Mu, keep the boat steady! Watch me go over and pluck these hairy beasts completely bald!”

Before his voice could fade, Ye Xiu stomped heavily on the bow of the moon boat!

“Bang!”

He transformed into a crimson rainbow that tore through the void, ignoring the bloody lightning strangling the sky.

He crashed headfirst into the ruined deck of the Ark of the Other Shore, which was teeming with terrifying beasts, with extreme dominance!

At the exact moment Ye Xiu's feet firmly stepped onto the deck of the Ark of the Other Shore, which was stained with ancient divine blood!

“Buzz—”

Time seemed to fall into an extremely bizarre standstill at this moment.

In Ye Xiu's mind, the long-awaited mechanical voice of the System exploded wildly, like a series of world-shattering sounds of creation that shook the Universe!

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully boarded the ancient myth-grade forbidden ruin of the Major Thousand Worlds—'Ark of the Other Shore'!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden forbidden land check-in task!]

[Ding! Settling the check-in reward for the host... Highest-tier cross-realm reward triggered!!!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Sendai Fifth Stage True Saint Great Perfection Origin Empowerment!!!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Divine-Grade consumable: One drop of the Flawless Saint Blood of the Ancient Desolate Saint Body! (Note: Can suppress all evils and break all Laws!)]

“Rumble!!!”

As the final System prompt fell, there was absolutely no need for any preparation.

Nor was there any need for the preparation of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. An supreme True Saint Origin that did not belong to the Major Thousand Worlds at all...

...and reigned supreme over all the heavens and myriad worlds, exploded directly inside Ye Xiu's body!

If the Sendai Fourth Stage Half-Saint had only initially touched the threshold of the Heavenly Dao Laws...

...then the Sendai Fifth Stage True Saint completely trampled the Heavenly Dao underfoot. I am the Law, I am the Dao!

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Inside Ye Xiu's body, his divine gold Physical Body, which had already been tempered to the limit, let out terrifying explosions at this moment, as if the world were being destroyed and reborn.

Within every inch of his flesh, every single bone, and even every drop of his blood...

...extremely profound and obscure golden Dao runes were wildly weaving and condensing!

Reborn!

Transformed!

Transcendent!

Sainted!

“Ah!!!”

Ye Xiu threw his head back and let out an extremely comfortable long howl. Two gold and silver beams of light, almost material in form, shot out from his eyes...

...directly piercing through the void bloody lightning that had been suppressed above the Ark of the Other Shore for tens of millions of years!

At the very second Ye Xiu transformed into a True Saint...

...an indescribable, terrifying saintly pressure, enough to make all living beings in the entire Major Thousand Worlds kneel collectively...

...swept out like a tsunami with him as the center, violently sweeping across the entire boundless Ark of the Other Shore!

This pressure was not deliberately targeted at anyone; it was merely the natural suppression of life-level hierarchy emitted by the existence of a 'True Saint' in the world!

An extremely shocking scene occurred!

The tens of thousands of red-haired divine corpses ahead, roaring shrilly and lunging at Ye Xiu with bared fangs and brandished claws...

...the moment they came into contact with this Saintly Might, it was as if ice and snow had met a scorching sun of tens of thousands of degrees!

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”

There was no explosion, and no resistance. Those ancient divine corpses, comparable to Divine Bridge Realm Body Cultivators, could not even get within a hundred feet of Ye Xiu.

Under the absolute crushing power of this True Saint pressure, they instantly turned into extremely fine ashes, without even a single red hair remaining!

And the defensive bloody lightning interwoven across the sky, which even the Great Emperor Founding Emperor was proud of...

...at the moment this Saintly Might washed over them, let out wails like fragile glass shattering, directly crumbling into harmless red spots of light filling the sky!

Within a single breath, the deck for thousands of miles ahead of Ye Xiu was cleared into a zone of absolute dead silence!

All Formations and all terrifying beasts were forcefully wiped out before the words 'True Saint'!

“Interesting, it seems there's still a big fellow hiding on this broken ship.”

Ye Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the arrogance at the corners of his mouth grew even stronger.

“But, to think a piece of rotten meat that has been dead for thousands of years dares to clamor before a Saint?”

Ye Xiu did not draw his sword. He slowly raised his right hand.

Under Qin Mu's extremely shocked gaze, a drop of blood was slowly forced out of Ye Xiu's fingertip.

It was no ordinary blood, but a drop of brilliant, pure gold color throughout...

...that seemed to contain endless stars and the violent Dao within—the [Qing Emperor Essence Blood]!

“Beneath the Saint, all are mere ants.”

Ye Xiu's expression was cold to the extreme as he gently flicked his finger.

“For me—suppress!”
