297: The flawed jade is the king (36).

Before that massive "heart eyeball."

Wang Yun's withered body suddenly jolted.

His eyes slowly opened.

Boom!

Deep within his pupils, a divine glow of purple, green, and gold flashed and vanished.

Within that divine glow, one could vaguely see the illusory shadows of two overlapping, slowly rotating, strange pupils.

Minds Eye, Double Pupils.

It was complete.

However, before he could carefully sense the profundity of this newborn Divine Ability...

...his newborn Heart Heavy Pupils suddenly experienced a violent throb without any warning.

It wasn't a threat from the outside world, but rather the deepest perception of these eyes toward this fading world of remains.

Crisis.

Extreme danger.

His Heart Heavy Pupils saw through the illusions and perceived the essence of this world of remains.

Countless shattered Laws were clashing violently, and a resentment and obsession that had slept for untold millennia was awakening.

"The Origin of these remains is about to go completely berserk."

Wang Yun understood instantly.

It was him.

It was his years of bitter cultivation here, and especially the burst of dao rhyme when his Heart Heavy Pupils were first formed, that had stimulated these sleeping remains.

Rumble— The entire "land" composed of flesh and blood began to heave and collapse violently.

That massive "heart eyeball" beat faster and faster, its aura becoming increasingly dangerous.

"I must leave immediately."

Wang Yun made a prompt decision, pushing his Heart Heavy Pupils to their full capacity.

Under the gaze of these miraculous eyes, countless weak spatial nodes in this seemingly enclosed world of remains were clearly presented before him.

He chose the most stable node without hesitation, his body flickering as he turned into a streak of light, racing toward that "exit."

He had just left...

...when that massive eyeball completely lost control.

A black storm composed of countless shattered Laws and resentment swept through the entire world of remains, turning it completely into nothingness... Above a desolate sea in the Eastern Domain.

This was no longer within the range of the Guixu Sea.

Space was torn apart without warning, and a thin figure tumbled out in a sorry state.

It was Wang Yun.

He looked back at the slowly closing spatial rift and the terrifying aura of destruction coming from within, his heart still fluttering with fear.

"I'm finally out."

Wang Yun let out a long breath.

He was about to determine his direction and find a place to rest properly.

Suddenly.

His gaze was drawn to the sight above the firmament.

An ancient road paved with countless stars stretched across the heavens and earth, exuding mystery and temptation.

"Ancient Starry Road..."

Wang Yun's expression became complex.

At that moment, he could clearly sense countless powerful auras rising into the sky from all directions of the Eastern Domain, colliding and clashing with each other.

"The Struggle for the dao platforms?"

Wang Yun understood immediately.

He tore through the void and headed toward the nearest giant city.

In the city, he found a tavern and quickly learned about the situation from the conversations of the nearby Cultivators.

"The Struggle for the dao platforms has actually reached its final day."

Wang Yun's expression turned solemn.

He hadn't expected that he had stayed in that world of remains for several years.

The end of the Struggle for the dao platforms meant that the Ancient Starry Road was about to fully open.

If he missed it, he would have to wait for tens of thousands of years, or even an entire era.

Wang Yun no longer hesitated.

He learned from those Cultivators that a dao platform not far from here was guarded by the Yu Family of the Eastern Domain.

With a flicker of his body, he disappeared from the tavern... Half a day later.

Wang Yun's figure appeared outside a towering giant city.

In the city, an ancient dao platform, ten thousand zhang high and reaching into the clouds, was exuding an aura that beckoned the starlight.

The area around the dao platform was packed with people, making it incredibly noisy.

At this time, the battle on the dao platform had just ended.

A blood-soaked, burly young man was stepping on his opponent's mangled corpse, laughing wildly.

He was the top Prodigy of the Yu Family, Yu Yuba.

This person possessed the "Tyrant Heaven God Body" and was an Ancient Freak sealed away from a previous Fading Small World; his Physical Body was peerless, and he was said to crush all techniques with sheer strength.

Since the start of the Struggle for the dao platforms, he had never been defeated; the various Prodigies who had died at his hands numbered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.

"Who else?!"

Yu Yuba scanned the surroundings, his voice loud, overbearing, and arrogant.

There was dead silence below the platform.

Everyone was intimidated by his fierce might, and no one dared to step onto the platform again.

It seemed the ownership of this dao platform was about to be settled.

Just then.

A young man wearing tattered clothes, looking thin and weak, walked out from the crowd and stepped onto the blood-soaked dao platform one step at a time.

It was Wang Yun.

His tattered appearance was left over from his time in that world of remains.

"Hmm?"

Yu Yuba looked at this "vagrant" who had suddenly stepped onto the platform, his brow furrowing with a contemptuous gaze.

"Where did this stinking beggar come from, daring to come up here and seek death?"

The crowd below also erupted into an uproar.

"Is this kid crazy?"

"He's probably from some small place and doesn't know how terrifying Yu Yuba is."

Yu Yuba lost his patience; he didn't even bother to ask for the other party's name.

In his eyes, a fellow who couldn't even afford decent clothes wasn't worth remembering.

He casually threw a punch.

He didn't use any Divine Ability, just pure physical strength.

But that punch's wind still carried a sonic boom that tore through the air, enough to blast any Cultivator below the God Realm into a bloody mist.

However.

Wang Yun just stood there calmly, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Boom!

That punch landed solidly on Wang Yun's chest.

The cruel grin on Yu Yuba's face instantly froze.

He felt as if he had struck a piece of ten-thousand-year divine iron, and his knuckles throbbed with pain.

Meanwhile, the young man opposite him didn't even have a corner of his clothes flutter.

A faint Protective Aura composed of purple, green, and gold divine light circulated on his body's surface, easily neutralizing all the force.

Wang Yun raised his eyes and calmly looked at the burly young man before him, who was full of astonishment.

"You are too weak."

His voice wasn't loud, but it made Yu Yuba feel an unprecedented humiliation.

"You're looking for death!"

Yu Yuba was furious.

He no longer held back, and his Tyrant Heaven God Body erupted fully.

A hundred-zhang-tall golden dharma idol condensed behind him, its powerful pressure causing the dao platform to tremble.

"Die for me!"

He threw another punch, and this time, it was his strongest strike.

However, Wang Yun just shook his head.

He reached out and made a pressing motion toward the ground below.

first generation supreme bone, Innate Divine Ability.

Creation of All Things.

Boom!

In an instant, countless emerald-green divine vines burst out from the indestructible dao platform.

They grew and intertwined frantically, instantly binding and restraining the once-unbeatable Yu Yuba along with his hundred-zhang dharma idol.

No matter how he activated his god body or how he struggled, he couldn't break free in the slightest.

"This... what kind of sorcery is this?!"

Yu Yuba discovered with horror that the physical strength he was so proud of was being easily suppressed by these divine vines and was even being continuously absorbed.

Wang Yun walked up to him step by step, looked at the face distorted by fear, and began to sneer.

"The supreme god body of the Yu Family?"

"Then let's collect some interest."

After saying that, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and under Yu Yuba's terrified gaze, he slashed one sword after another at his limbs, his Dantian, and his Divine Soul... He didn't kill him directly.

Instead, bit by bit, he physically stripped that Tyrant Heaven God Body he was so proud of from his body.

Flesh was mangled, and white bones were exposed.

Shrill screams echoed above the dao platform.

Below the platform, everyone was pale with horror at this bloody and cruel scene.

Finally, Wang Yun casually threw the now-mangled pile of flesh that was Yu Yuba off the dao platform.

He no longer paid any attention to the crowd.

And just then...

...the time for the Struggle for the dao platforms was up.

Rumble!

Brilliant starlight erupted from every dao platform in the Five Domains.

A powerful beckoning force descended from the sky, enveloping all the platform masters.

Wang Yun's figure slowly became illusory within the starlight and finally disappeared.

The Ancient Starry Road had opened.
