The Four Directions Domain, the blank land.
In the northeast of the Four Directions, four immeasurably vast eighth-tier Great Worlds were situated.
These four eighth-tier Great Worlds suppressed this chaotic expanse.
The Sword Domain.
While the Divine Firmament Domain was shrouded by chaos, the Sword Domain was exceptionally confident.
It was positioned brazenly within the chaos, and viewed from afar, the arrangement of the Sword Domain’s worlds resembled the shape of a sword.
"Ching."
On this day, five divine swords shot out from the Sword Domain.
The sword light tore through the heavens and earth, its resplendent glow cleaving the chaos. The sharp aura caused hidden smaller worlds and Imperial Palaces surrounding the Sword Domain to appear.
However, the gaze of these five individuals did not linger anywhere else.
The sword light split the chaos, flying northwards.
As for the smaller worlds and Imperial Palaces left behind, they exchanged glances.
The next moment…
"Kill."
Emperor Palaces and worlds began to clash.
Viewed from afar, dozens, even hundreds, were engaged in continuous combat.
Devouring, the most primitive method of growth.
It was also the most efficient and simplest method.
The Sword Domain was very safe, and also very proud. As long as they were not provoked, with their high and mighty demeanor, they would never easily attack these insignificant Imperial Palaces.
This led to some Imperial Palaces and worlds gathering around the Sword Domain.
Not just the Sword Domain; this was the case for almost all regions except the Dragon Phoenix Domain, the Crimson Sun Domain, and the vicinity of the Divine Firmament Domain.
The eighth-tier Great Worlds disdained them, yet they themselves desired to grow stronger and would engage in combat.
The pressure of a seventh-tier Great Emperor would shake all worlds out of hiding.
Thus, the scene unfolded as it did.
Combat, devouring, plundering.
Within the Sword Domain, all was quiet. All sword cultivators were in their practice, completely indifferent to the battles outside.
As long as the residual shockwaves of the battles did not reach the Sword Domain, no one would pay attention.
…
Simultaneously.
In the Crimson Sun Domain, five Great Emperors also departed.
The great sun blazed, illuminating the dim chaos, carving a path northwards.
A total of ten Great Emperors were heading north, to the region where the Divine Firmament Domain was located.
And at this moment, the Life and Death Realm was moving southwards from the north.
The Divine Firmament Domain could no longer be stayed in; for the coming period, it would become the source of chaos.
The Crimson Sun Domain, in the south, suppressed the southern chaotic lands.
The Space Boots were also there.
Ching.
The world tore through the void.
The massive world moved through the chaos at full power, creating significant disturbance.
Bang.
A hidden Imperial Palace failed to evade and was crushed by the Life and Death Realm.
It was merely a second-tier Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was directly shattered by the Life and Death Realm.
An extremely ugly, insect-like Chaos Beast, heavily injured, fled…
"Ching."
A demonic light shot out from within the Life and Death Realm.
A second-tier Chaos Beast Emperor, facing the attack of a fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor, had no power to resist.
The insect-shaped Chaos Beast exploded.
Demonic energy surged, reclaiming the power of the Chaos Beast.
"You are truly amusing…"
Beside him, the Mad Emperor curled his lips: "A second-tier Emperor, and worth your effort."
"Sigh."
Old Demon Chu sighed: "Isn't this just out of boredom."
"Yes, boredom."
The Mad Emperor lay on the world's barrier of the Life and Death Realm.
A blade of grass in his mouth, his hands behind his head: "A month has passed, and apart from these Chaos Beasts, no one else is in sight. It’s boring…"
The Life and Death Realm had been traveling for a month.
Today, it was the two of them on watch outside.
If they encountered any powerful beings, they could provide an early warning, so as not to be ambushed.
Old Demon Chu said: "If only we could encounter a sixth-tier Great World. We could have a good fight, and relieve the boredom…"
"Yes."
The two combatants eagerly anticipated encountering a sixth-tier Great World.
Huh?
As soon as the words fell, the Mad Emperor sat up abruptly, his eyes gleaming.
"What are you doing?"
"I am so stupid."
The Mad Emperor slapped his forehead: "The direction we are heading now, isn't it towards the Boulder Realm? Once we reach the Boulder Realm, things will become interesting?"
"That's true too."
Old Demon Chu smiled.
Although the speed of the fifth-tier Great World had slowed considerably.
This was mainly because fifth-tier Great Worlds were too heavy.
But they would meet it eventually.
"Heh, let's go play in the Boulder Realm… Hmm?"
Old Demon Chu's words caught in his throat, his gaze fixed ahead: "Something’s wrong."
"What's wrong?"
The Mad Emperor stood up; he hadn’t sensed anything.
"Something's not right."
Old Demon Chu's expression turned solemn.
Demonic flames surged, and the dual paths of life and death coiled like chains around his demonic silhouette.
His gaze swept in all directions, then furrowed slightly: "Why has it stopped?"
"What did you discover?"
"Eyes."
Old Demon Chu said gravely: "I feel eyes watching us. In secret, someone seems to be following us… or did I misjudge?"
"Don't be careless."
The Mad Emperor advised: "If someone is indeed following us, then don't alert the City Lord for now. We'll act as if we haven't noticed and continue forward…"
"Alright."
Old Demon Chu heeded the advice.
They couldn’t possibly bother the City Lord with every little thing; what use were they then?
The Life and Death Realm continued its journey…
A moment later.
"I feel it." the Mad Emperor suddenly spoke.
Old Demon Chu remained silent.
Having inherited the City Lord's power of life and death, his perception of danger was keener than the Mad Emperor's.
Once, twice, thrice…
The other party's concealment was exceptionally subtle. Many times, just as the two were about to act, that aura would vanish.
"…So, like this…"
The Mad Emperor suggested: "You go into the world, and let him reveal himself. It's probably because the two of us are here that he doesn't dare to come out."
"You go in." Old Demon Chu said.
Mad Emperor: "…"
Damn it.
It was like this again.
"Fine, I'll go."
The Mad Emperor was unwilling, but in the end, he was the one who conceded.
He had finally encountered something interesting, and he couldn't let Old Demon Chu steal the show.
At this moment… the Mad Emperor stood up and said: "I'll go back and get some wine. It's too boring."
"Go ahead."
The voices of the two were not concealed in the least: "I'll cultivate for a while."
"Mm."
The Mad Emperor entered the world.
Old Demon Chu, on the other hand, directly closed his eyes.
…
In secret, a figure was closely observing the Life and Death Realm.
Hatred filled the woman’s eyes: "This time, I will not let you go."
She was extremely vexed.
This time, to atone for her sins, she had come out to hunt sixth-tier Heavenly Emperors.
She had succeeded, but unexpectedly, as she was returning, she encountered the Life and Death Realm.
King Liu was excited.
She would not forget the grudges of the past.
Humiliation.
However, with the two of them together, King Liu dared not act rashly.
What she wanted was a sure kill.
If any commotion were to occur, Chen Fan and the others would surely be alerted, and she might then experience another scene she wished to forget.
Finally, she had her chance.
One of them was returning to the world to get wine.
As for what kind of wine it was, King Liu did not care.
As long as that person was alone, she was confident she could instantly kill him without causing any disturbance.
Then, once the other person came out, she could kill them as well. The room for operation would be much greater.
"Ching."
A golden willow branch pierced through the chaos.
The willow branch appeared directly above Old Demon Chu's head, aiming for his crown.
