166: New event! The universe and the realm!

The overview of the incident ends here.

As for Lin Sheng.

He went from being initially indifferent to now slightly frowning.

He waved his hand, signaling Su Yuyao to leave first.

Although she didn't know what happened, the latter still respectfully and softly withdrew and closed the door.

"An outsider who was left behind back then?"

"I remember this character wasn't mentioned in the original work..."

In the late stages of the original work.

After the protagonist group ascended to Immortal Emperor, the concept of 'domains' began to be explained.

In short.

The Five Continents where they reside actually only have one name in the outside world: the East Heaven Domain.

And this so-called 'outside world' has an even grander name—the Great Thousand Star Realm!

According to the original work's description.

[Within the Great Thousand Star Realm are billions upon billions of Star Seas, and countless realms float and sink within each Star Sea.]

[These realms drift and rotate aimlessly in the starry sky.]

[When two realms of similar mass approach each other, they generate mutual attraction, giving rise to two-realm passages.]

[The passages accelerate the drawing together of the two realms.]

[If the passage is destroyed, a repulsive force will be generated between the two realms, pushing them in opposite directions.]

Lin Sheng understood.

The so-called "outer domain passage" is actually the outer domain battlefield mentioned multiple times in the original work.

Many powerhouses had died on the outer domain battlefield before.

They were either there to destroy the passage to protect this domain, or to kill those from outer domains who intended to enter this domain—no, they might not be human, not even demons or devils, but some strange race unknown even to them, hence the general term "Outer Domain Heavenly Demon."

"Godfall Domain..."

"It's a domain I haven't heard of. I wonder if it's a small domain, a large domain, or an extremely large domain."

There are countless realms.

Proportionally speaking, small domains account for about 90%, large domains about 9%, and extremely large domains only make up the remaining 1%.

The East Heaven Domain is not special.

It's just an insignificant small domain.

If it encounters other small domains of similar mass, two-realm passages will be generated.

But if it's unlucky enough to collide with a large domain, no passage will be generated at all; instead, it will be forcefully captured and directly become part of the large domain!

Once a cultivator's cultivation reaches the Dao One Realm, they can escape the capture of the realm and travel within the Star Sea.

Therefore, theoretically.

Northern Wind Smile could very well be a powerhouse who emerged from a large domain.

Wandering in the Star Sea, he somehow arrived at their East Heaven Domain.

[Beep! Officially entering the incident!]

The message before his eyes quickly brought Lin Sheng back to his senses.

Before him.

A light screen unfolded like a scroll.

The first thing that came into view was a desolate and barren valley, covered with the carcasses of giant demonic beasts, with large numbers of mosquitoes and flies buzzing over them.

A light drizzle was mercilessly falling into the valley.

The rainwater flowed down the withered yellow earth, collecting into muddy small coves and pools below.

The air was cold, and withered trees were twisted.

Two figures flew from afar, precisely the Duan Family father and son who escaped from Nangong Haotian.

They looked around in the rain and quickly discovered a small cave in the mountain hollow to the side. The two exchanged glances and flashed inside.

Rustle...

"Dad!"

"This mere drizzle, we could have just dispersed it, why let it soak our bodies?"

Duan Wenxian casually activated a spell to evaporate the rainwater from his body, a few traces of displeasure showing on his face.

Although very unwilling, he really had no choice now.

Nangong Haotian was determined to kill him, and Duan Tianchou had saved him in the name of being his father.

Even just to save his life, he dared not disobey Duan Tianchou.

Hearing this.

Duan Tianchou revealed a cold sneer.

"Heh, do you think we're on vacation?"

"Dispersing the rain clouds, how could you even think of that? Are you afraid Nangong Haotian won't find us?"

As he said the latter half, he even grabbed Duan Wenxian's collar.

Allowing the latter to clearly see the stubble on the former's face and the terrifying eyes filled with bloodshot veins!

That look...

It was as if, should words fail, the other party could ruthlessly sacrifice even himself instantly!

Duan Wenxian gritted his teeth.

Only after the other party put him down did he say resentfully and indignantly, "Am I really your son! Why do you treat me like this!?"

"I acknowledge you as my father, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Since then until now, I haven't seen you smile once!"

Seeing his son say this.

Duan Tianchou stared at him again with his sharp, eagle-like eyes and coldly chuckled, "Happy? Heh, since your mother died, nothing has been able to make me happy."

"What's more, if it weren't for you, we might still be a perfectly happy pair of secret lovers right now."

"You say, will I be happy seeing you?"

Duan Wenxian was speechless.

For some reason, his mood was as low as the rain curtain outside.

Just at this moment.

A burst of hearty laughter came from deep within the cave.

"Hahaha...!"

"What an interesting pair of father and son."

"The father hates the son for ruining his happiness, and the son dislikes the father."

The laughter was rough and unrestrained.

It seemed far away in the sky, yet also echoed right beside their ears.

The two were startled and had no mood to argue further, quickly flashing deeper into the cave.

Soon.

In the deep, dark pool within the cave, they saw an old man with black hair bound by chains.

The old man's face was obscured by long, tangled hair like water grass, and his clothes were already dark and filthy. On the stone pillar behind him was a yellowed talisman, its complex runes faintly glowing.

Although the old man's magical power and cultivation seemed to be locked by the chains, the two could still feel a deadly threat from him.

Duan Tianchou, at the Immortal Venerable Tenth Level, felt this sensation particularly strongly!

"Immortal Emperor!?"

He subconsciously cried out in alarm.

Duan Wenxian, who had just lit a spirit fire in the cave beside him, was startled and took two steps back.

But after reacting, the two successively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if you are an Immortal Emperor, you can't do anything to us now," Duan Tianchou said as if comforting himself.

Although the old man's face was covered by black hair.

The two, however, seemed to see him laughing heartily, his unrestrained laughter echoing inside the cave: "Hahaha! Immortal Emperor!? It's been a long time since I heard such an insult."

"People from small places really lack vision."

"Seeing someone stronger than an Immortal Venerable, they all just assume it's an Immortal Emperor, hahaha!"

Not an Immortal Emperor?

Higher than an Immortal Emperor?

The Duan Family father and son exchanged glances, both seeing fear and astonishment in the other's eyes.

"Frogs in a well, let me tell you."

"My name is Northern Wind Smile, from the distant Godfall Domain. I am a Dao One Grand Venerable, more powerful than an Immortal Emperor!"

"As long as you tear off this talisman above my head, I'll grant each of you one condition. Whether it's killing someone you hate, or treasures and beauties, there's no problem at all!"

"Hahaha! How about it? Do you dare?"

"Juniors?"
