493: No. 4 Luo Family

However, this time he paused slightly, and a star map appeared in his hand, marked with the words "Taixu Ancient Realm."

"This is... a treasure map?"

Lin Yu stared at the crooked route on the star map with interest.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

This map was not a star map, nor was the route a star path; it was more like a route within some secret realm.

"Master Brother, what is this?"

Xiao Ling curiously leaned over, her large eyes sparkling, filled with childlike wonder.

Who could believe that such an innocent-looking little girl had just directly crushed Luo Qingcheng's soul?

"I don't know either. If you want it, take it and play with it!"

Lin Yu shrugged and handed it over to her.

It must be said that the greatest contributor to easily eliminating Sikong Jing and Luo Qingcheng this time was this little girl.

Normally, she was mischievous and adorable, but when she truly took action, her endless methods were truly hair-raising to witness.

It seemed there was no field this little fellow wasn't proficient in.

Even a half-step Immortal King realm expert was handled with such ease.

He even suspected that without him, this little fellow could still trap and kill a Domain Lord.

"Mmm, okay. This paper looks very clean; I'll use it for my candied hawthorns!"

The little fellow tilted her head and thought for a moment, then still took it.

Then she directly retracted it into her main body.

Xiao Ling's current main body was actually not fixed; she could transform into anything, no longer resembling the divine palace from before.

But her main body generally did not appear in the outside world, being placed by her within the Main Star's core of Lin Yu's inner world.

Her artifact spirit body could manifest in the outside world, and she was also the only living being capable of freely entering and exiting Lin Yu's inner world.

The medium for this was the equal contract they had signed.

"Master Brother, where are we going to play next?"

The little girl was not reserved at all and directly burrowed into Lin Yu's embrace.

Her small hand was still holding and licking a candied hawthorn, looking incredibly adorable.

"Come on, Brother will take you to find a shameless older sister to play with!"

Lin Yu pinched her small face and said with a smile.

After speaking, he also summoned Little Kun.

As long as he wasn't in a great hurry, he would always let Little Kun carry him on his journey.

Moreover, the little fellow really liked playing with Xiao Ling. The two little ones had compatible personalities, chattering away, which kept him from feeling lonely while traveling.

"A shameless older sister? How can there be such a person? Could it be that the older sister really doesn't have a face?"

Xiao Ling blinked her innocent big eyes, looking at Lin Yu.

"Uh......."

"Master Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Does Brother also think Linger is right?"

"I didn't say that, little girl, don't talk nonsense..."

"I didn't! You just said older sister had no face, so isn't that shameless?"

"Shut up, little brat! I didn't say that. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank your bottom!"

"Hehehe, I'm not afraid! When I see the shameless older sister, I'll go tell on you."

"......"

In the deep starry sky, the sounds of one big and one small person laughing and playing could be heard, occasionally interspersed with a Kun's cry, making it quite lively.

......

One month later.

Dragon Abyss Star Region.

Spanning hundreds of millions of star rivers, its territory was so vast that it could even rival a small star realm!

Here, there were over one hundred thousand life-bearing planets alone. Compared to the Jinyan Star Region, which only had over a thousand planets, it was like comparing a small witch to a great witch.

They dotted the deep starry sky like brilliant pearls. Each star had powerful cultivators, spiritual energy as dense as the sea, and complete laws.

The Heavenly Dao rules here were even more flawless, and prodigies and evildoers emerged in great numbers.

Within the Star Region, there were nine major core star districts, each governed by a super Main Star, with countless medium and small star regions under its jurisdiction, like stars revolving around the moon, progressing layer by layer, forming an unimaginably vast star-spanning empire!

The reason for such a phenomenon was entirely due to the fact that an ancient Ancestral Dragon had fallen in the Dragon Abyss Star Region during the Primordial Era.

Legend has it that after this Ancestral Dragon fell, its dragon body transformed into stars, its dragon blood into spiritual veins, and its dragon soul merged into the core of the Star Region, imbuing the entire Dragon Abyss Star Region with a trace of true dragon power.

This was also the origin of the Dragon Abyss Star Region's name!

It was precisely for this reason that the Dragon Abyss Star Region, whether in terms of Heavenly Dao rules or the strength of its cultivators, was inherently three points stronger than other Star Regions.

The cultivation speed of some prodigies and evildoers was even incredibly fast, and their physical bodies were stronger.

Some ancient bloodline families could even awaken Dragon Race divine abilities!

And the one who ruled this vast Star Region was—the Luo Family!

The Luo Family.

They had been rooted in the Dragon Abyss Star Region since ancient times, with foundations so deep that they far surpassed ordinary Immortal Dao families.

Their ancestral land was located on Dragon Ridge Star.

This was a super Main Star shaped like a giant dragon's spine, covered entirely with crystal mountains resembling dragon scales, where nine massive immortal veins, spanning the Star Region, converged.

This made the spiritual energy of the entire star so dense that it was almost liquefied. Cultivators practicing here could achieve in one day what would take a hundred days outside!

Deep within the Luo Family Ancestral Temple, an ancient dragon scale was enshrined. It was rumored to be the reverse scale left behind by the fallen Ancestral Dragon, containing supreme dragon might.

Generations of Luo Family powerhouses could comprehend Dragon Race secret techniques from it, and even use it to communicate with the Star Region's origin, gaining Heavenly Dao blessings!

Because of this, the Luo Family had been able to firmly hold the position of overlord in the Dragon Abyss Star Region for millions of years, unshakeable by anyone!

And the current head of the Luo Family—Luo Feng—was an unparalleled powerhouse at the peak of the Immortal King realm!

When he was in the Saint Immortal Realm, he had already gained the Heavenly Dao's recognition in the Dragon Abyss Star Region, becoming the Lord of the Star Region, able to mobilize a portion of the Star Region's power to empower himself.

Now that he had stepped into the peak of the Immortal King realm, his combat power was so terrifying that it had reached the half-step Immortal Emperor realm!

Within the Dragon Abyss Star Region, he was synonymous with invincibility!

At this moment, on Dragon Ridge Star, in the Luo Family's ancestral land.

A majestic black palace, towering like the heavens, floated above the sky. Outside the palace, nine giant spiritual energy dragons, condensed from the power of star veins, coiled around it.

Their dragon eyes were like the sun and moon, their dragon breath like star rivers. Just their presence there caused the entire void to tremble!

At this moment, inside the palace, eighteen figures stood solemnly.

Every one of them was either a Domain Lord or an Immortal King realm expert, with auras as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, with laws swirling around them. Just standing there caused space to subtly twist!

Among them, three had even reached the late Immortal King stage. When their eyes opened and closed, it was as if stars were being created and destroyed, and the Great Dao was cycling!

However, at this moment, all of them had their heads lowered, their expressions respectful, not daring to overstep in the slightest.

Because—

In front of them, a phantom figure was seated on a throne.

That figure was not solid, and even its face could not be clearly seen; it was merely a projection.

But it was this projection alone that made all the powerhouses present feel a suffocating pressure!

"Family Head!"

The eighteen Luo Family powerhouses bowed simultaneously, their voices like thunder, shaking the void.

On the throne, Luo Feng's phantom slowly raised his eyes.

With just one glance—

"Boom—!"

The laws within the entire great hall suddenly solidified, and time seemed to halt at this moment!
