"NO!!!"

In the end.

Chen Wangu fought within the Dark Forbidden Land for a hundred years.

His battle concluded with a furious, grief-stricken roar.

SHLICK!!!

An unparalleled cyan Sword Light flashed, seemingly decapitating some great existence. The strike itself tore open a corner of the Sea of Chaos.

DRIP! DRIP! DRIP!

Finally.

Blood dripped down.

The black light barrier of the Dark Forbidden Land seemed to dim slightly. From within its layers, a tall, straight figure slowly emerged.

As the view zoomed in,

the tall figure was revealed to be none other than Chen Wangu.

One could see that the Cyan Willow Sword in Chen Wangu’s hand was covered in nicks and chips. His body was stained with all kinds of blood, but his terrifying aura seemed powerful enough to rip the entire Sea of Chaos apart.

Upon closer inspection,

one would notice that Chen Wangu was dragging an enormous, pitch-black chain in his left hand. The chain, though stained with various kinds of blood, was incredibly thick and massive.

RUMBLE!!!

The rumbling tremors echoed in all directions.

Chen Wangu dragged the colossal, pitch-black chain. At its end was a head, more majestic and vast than a star.

The head was covered in blood—it was a black dragon’s head. Its eyes were wide open, and through them, one could see the unwillingness and terror it held.

"Hiss..."

"Heavens! Oh my god!!!"

"That... That’s..."

"The Dark Dragon King! It’s really the head of the Dark Dragon King!"

"This... This..."

"After a hundred years of fighting... Chen... Chen Wangu actually succeeded! He actually broke into the Dark Forbidden Land and killed one of its Forbidden Land Life, the ’Dark Dragon King’!"

"This news is too explosive!"

"Something huge is about to happen!!!"

"..."

Instantly, the spies from various major powers and worlds lurking around the Dark Forbidden Land spread the news the moment they saw what had happened.

It could be said that Chen Wangu’s name once again resounded throughout the entire Sea of Chaos.

Under these circumstances, everyone from the other Eight Great Origin Worlds to the various Forbidden Lands was shocked by Chen Wangu’s power. He had actually managed to slay a Forbidden Land Life from the Dark Forbidden Land.

One must understand that every ’Forbidden Land Life’ had stepped into the ’Immortal’ Realm. Even if they had crippled themselves to survive, they had lived for countless Eras of Chaos.

Moreover,

every ’Forbidden Land Life’ could unleash their true Immortal Power if they were willing to pay a certain price.

Furthermore, Chen Wangu had only just stepped into the ’Immortal’ Realm.

But the final result was that Chen Wangu had slain the first ’Forbidden Land Life’ to awaken in the Dark Forbidden Land, the ’Dark Dragon King’. He had taken its head and displayed it before countless living beings.

From this day forward,

as long as Chen Wangu watched over the Profound Yellow Realm, any power, any existence, any race that wanted to move against it would have to first consider whether they could withstand the sword in his hand.

In the Sea of Chaos,

Chen Wangu dragged the Dark Dragon King’s massive head through the Sea of Chaos, creating a huge commotion. He wanted to display his prize to all living beings as he walked, step by step, toward the Profound Yellow Realm.

「Seven days later.」

Chen Wangu returned to the Profound Yellow Realm. He stood outside it, in the Sea of Chaos, gazing upon the vast and boundless realm.

It was like a colossal, oval egg with no visible end, silently floating in the Sea of Chaos, absorbing Energy to sustain its own operation.

"Go!"

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

With a wave of his left hand, Chen Wangu sent the Dark Dragon King’s head flying. It hovered directly above the Profound Yellow Realm. Then, with a wave of his right, countless streams of cyan Sword Qi erupted.

In a mere instant,

the Dark Dragon King’s head was minced into a sky-full of flesh by the innumerable Sword Qi, and a rain of blood fell, merging into the Profound Yellow Realm.

Keep in mind,

the Dark Dragon King was an existence that had stepped into the ’Immortal’ Realm. Even if he had crippled himself to live longer, he was still an Immortal existence. Now, Chen Wangu had sacrificed the Dark Dragon King’s head to the Profound Yellow Realm.

It was safe to say that the Profound Yellow Realm had gained immense benefits from this.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!!!

Within the Profound Yellow Realm,

the Celestial Dao began to operate, absorbing the Dark Dragon King’s Origin and Energy. It then fed this power back to the Human Race and other living beings of the Profound Yellow Realm. Across the realm’s Three Thousand Realms, it actually began to rain.

However,

this was no ordinary rain. It was a ’Divine Rain’, containing the Energy of Laws, Rules, Dao Rhyme, and Origin—enough to grant a massive boost to one’s Cultivation.

"This... This..."

The Kunlun Daoist Monarch’s eyes widened. He immediately calmed himself, shot straight into the sky, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a state of seclusion.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

In fact,

it wasn’t just the Kunlun Daoist Monarch.

The other seven Masters of the Holy Lands, including the Queen Mother of the West, Shakyamuni Buddha, and the Jade Emperor, also sensed it at once. Without hesitation, they too ascended to the heavens, entered seclusion, and began their Cultivation and comprehension...

"What an incredible move!"

「Xuanhuang Guardian City.」

A look of shock once again appeared on the Profound Yellow Elder’s face. He stood with his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and mused, "Chen Wangu, you actually managed to slay a Forbidden Land Life from the Dark Forbidden Land, and you even sacrificed its ’Immortal Origin’ to the ’Profound Yellow Realm’."

"By doing so,"

"the Profound Yellow Realm will receive immense benefits. Even the Kunlun Daoist Monarch and the others can use this opportunity to truly comprehend ’Immortality’ up close."

"If their fortune is great enough, they might even be able to take that step themselves..."

"A truly grand gesture."

The Profound Yellow Elder was filled with amazement.

It was important to remember that even among those who had reached the ’Immortal’ Realm, there were still different levels of attainment. Chen Wangu had currently only achieved an ’Immortal Will’.

In fact,

before crippling himself, the Dark Dragon King’s true power and level had surpassed that of the newly-ascended Chen Wangu.

Unfortunately,

the Dark Dragon King had crippled himself, had only recently awakened, hadn’t absorbed enough Immortal Substance, and had not yet recovered to his peak state.

Therefore,

the Dark Dragon King fell at Chen Wangu’s hands.

Also,

after slaying the Dark Dragon King, Chen Wangu could have absorbed the dragon’s Immortal Origin himself. Doing so would have accelerated his Cultivation speed, allowing him to advance even further in the ’Immortal’ Realm.

However,

Chen Wangu did not do so. Instead, he sacrificed the Dark Dragon King to the Profound Yellow Realm in exchange for the realm’s overall improvement. This was, of course, a grand gesture.

"Mm."

Chen Wangu nodded in satisfaction. He carefully sensed the state of the Profound Yellow Realm, a smile gracing his lips. With another step, he returned to the realm.

"I should go find my disciple now."

CLANG!

With the cry of a sword,

Chen Wangu transformed into a streak of Sword Light, entered the Three Realms Battlefield, and headed toward Xuanhuang Guardian City.

"He’s here."

The Profound Yellow Elder sensed him. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze calm as he looked in a certain direction, his face expressionless. "..."

「At this moment.」

Inside the Level 41 Beastman Mini World.

"Hooo..."

Xu Qing took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Under the 400,000-times time acceleration of the Level 41 Beastman Mini World, a hundred years in the outside world equated to a full forty million years inside.

Naturally,

both the Level 41 Beastman Mini World and Xu Qing’s Chaos Sword Dao had accumulated a massive amount of Experience Points.

...

[Beastman Mini World LV41: 12 nonillion / 10.5 nonillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

[Chaos Sword Dao LV21: 210 nonillion / 105 nonillion (Upgradeable!) (...)]

...

"As expected."

Xu Qing mused, ’As the Level increases, the Experience Points required for the next upgrade grow more and more astronomical. A hundred years this time was only enough for a single Level.’
