The Great Wilderness Continent is a world within the All Heavens Great World, where the world’s core is the pinnacle of chaotic innate creation, constantly evolving and changing.
Therefore, for countless years, the Great Wilderness Continent has truly been boundless and without borders.
Because the Great Wilderness Continent is like a sleeping beast, yet it grows incessantly.
Thus, the Great Wilderness Continent has no borders.
But all this ended a hundred thousand years ago.
A hundred thousand years ago, during the Yuanda Battle, a man-made border was created for the Great Wilderness Continent.
It was a ruin formed after the all-out battle among countless Creation Gods and great powers of heaven and earth.
Those Creation Gods, especially those top ones who understood the laws of heaven and earth and creation, each strike contained unimaginable power of the heaven and earth laws.
These powers of heaven and earth laws became entangled with the purest and most extreme laws of the invading Demon Clan’s Demon Gods, such as killing, constantly clashing and erupting.
It became a place where the original power of the Great Wilderness Continent could not be repaired.
Or rather, in that place, even if the world origin power of the Great Wilderness Continent repaired it, it would be instantly torn apart by the various remaining origin law powers.
It became a permanently incurable scar on the Great Wilderness Continent.
This place is known to the world as the Primordial Ruins.
Also known as the Primordial Absolute Realm, the Primordial Dead World.
It is the most terrifying forbidden land within the Great Wilderness Continent!
It is a dead zone that even Dao Realm powerhouses dare not enter.
Only the powerful Creation Gods dare to cautiously venture, but even the Creation Gods, if luck is not on their side here, face a nine in ten chance of death.
And this Primordial Ruins, the Primordial Absolute Realm, has an extremely characteristic feature, that is the ground and space here, in an instant, will restore to become a complete piece of land.
However, in the next moment, this newly restored complete land will be shattered into countless pieces by the numerous remaining origin law powers.
The moment they just emerged from the space passage, they witnessed a complete earth struck by mysterious forces, shattering into countless fragments.
Immediately recognizing what place this truly was.
Especially the two Dao Realm individuals, at the sight of this scene, could not care about any image and began to howl in despair.
"Who is it? Who is calculating against this old man!"
"You damned heavens, I curse your mother!"
In the angry and despairing cries, the crowd completely fell into the Primordial Ruins known as the Primordial Dead World.
And at that moment, the Primordial Ruins, just restored into land, broke apart into countless fragments.
The demon race Dao Realm who had just been howling in despair had its upper body pierced by a black light, silently dissipating into nothingness, completely without any sound.
In the same instant, the wailing voices just now vanished more than half.
As for Ye Zhen, who had long immersed his divine sense into the Void-Slaughtering Radiance, suddenly shifted his form ten meters the moment the Primordial Ruins shattered again.
The spot where Ye Zhen had stood just a moment before was immediately incinerated into nothingness by dozens of violent flames, while Ye Zhen’s footing lay on a broken piece of land about ten meters in diameter.
But even then, it is still unstable.
A blood light silently pierced through Ye Zhen’s side space, aiming towards Ye Zhen’s back.
The blood light was extremely fast; by the time Ye Zhen sensed it, the blood light had already reached him.
The blood light carried a mysterious icy breath, and the moment the blood light reached him, Ye Zhen’s entire body became incomparably stiff.
The Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl hovering above Ye Zhen’s head fittingly unleashed a layer of flame light shield, protecting Ye Zhen.
Originally, although the Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl protected by itself, it could not block this blood light that could pierce through everything.
In the instant between life and death, Ye Zhen, whose whole body was stiff, activated his long-sunken divine sense within the All Living Beings’ Will Power Pool, instantly infusing nine golden drops of All Living Beings’ Will Power into the flaming shield surrounding him.
A faint golden light flashed, and the mysterious cold blood light and Ye Zhen’s flame shield simultaneously dissipated.
Ye Zhen’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his entire body’s hairs stood upright.
The addition of nine golden drops of All Living Beings’ Will Power only barely equaled this blood light in mutual destruction.
Just how powerful is this blood light?
Before Ye Zhen could prepare again, the previously shattered Primordial Ruins closed up into a piece and then rapidly disintegrated into countless fragments.
The mysterious danger immediately transmitted through the Void-Slaughtering Radiance within the Dark Palace into Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit.
Ye Zhen instinctively moved and narrowly avoided several extremely lethal gleams.
Several breaths later, Ye Zhen, who had just gained a slight respite, appeared with a grim expression.
The three hundred people teleported over just now by the Great Chaos Transference Talisman, plunged into misfortune due to Ye Zhen, had no survivors left.
Moreover, of those three hundred, not a single complete corpse could be found.
An inexplicable chill rose in Ye Zhen’s heart.
Who exactly executed such a grand scheme, determined to kill him?
Moreover, how did they react so quickly?
....
Inside the Huan King’s Mansion of Luoyi, Great Zhou.
The Eldest Prince, Prince Huan, Ji Ao, was leaning casually in a steaming mist-filled pool. Several jade-like arms gently massaged his bones, and from time to time, ice-cold grapes, peeled to smooth jade-like perfection, were fed into his mouth. With a gentle chew, they burst into a refreshing jade-like juice.
Opposite the pool was a scholar in Qing Yi, with a few strands of long beard under his chin, soaking his entire body in the pool, leaving only his head exposed.
Though it may seem less refined to be so exposed, the act rendered the Qing Yi scholar’s demeanor even more elegant amidst the swirling mist.
As for the Prince Huan’s Chief Steward, Zhao Yu, he stood off to the side with sleeves folded, his presence nearly imperceptible. If it weren’t for the occasional glance from the corner of his eye, it would be as if Zhao Yu didn’t exist at all.
"So, are you saying it has been accomplished?" Ji Ao asked nonchalantly with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu bowed even lower, "Your Highness, thanks to Mr. Tu’s impeccable calculations, the task is done."
"That person has already been sent into the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory, with no chance of survival!"
"Are you certain?"
Ji Ao still did not open his eyes, "That brat, they say, has a very tough life. Even the Heavenly Temple has suffered at his hands, and he escaped even when faced with the full might of Mr. Tu’s origins?"
"In the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory, any spiritual object with spatial essence cannot be activated. Therefore, not even a Creation God can easily escape; they can only endure it.
As I know, the shortest time spent by a Creation God to escape the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory was seven months, and he was severely weakened upon doing so," said Mr. Tu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed.
"What does Mr. Tu mean?" Ji Ao was momentarily nonplussed.
"Never underestimate any enemy. Even if he has some extraordinary means and survives the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory, evading death by chance or escaping to safety.
When he escapes, it could take at least one or two years, at most several years.
By the time he emerges, I believe the military law of the Great Zhou will take care of him for us." Mr. Tu explained.
Upon hearing this, a slight smile suddenly appeared on Ji Ao’s tightly pursed lips, "It seems, sir, this plan is indeed foolproof."
"However, I almost wish that this brat could escape the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory alive?"
"Why is that?" Mr. Tu was intrigued, and even Zhao Yu, the Chief Steward, showed a hint of curiosity.
"The military law of the Great Zhou can publicly punish him, showing those fickle individuals what comes of opposing me!" Ji Ao said with a cold demeanor.
The Qing Yi-draped Mr. Tu chuckled, "Your Highness, Prince Huan, this hope of yours is likely to end in disappointment."
"Regardless of whether it’s a disappointment, alleviating this frustration in my chest, avenging Mao Daban who grew up with me, is satisfying enough."
"Come, Mr. Tu, let’s drink to that!" Ji Ao raised his cup.
"Please!"
Off to the side, Zhao Yu, the Chief Steward of the Prince Huan’s Mansion, felt a warm surge in his eyes. The Second Chief Steward Mao Yongcheng had been executed due to Ye Zhen’s involvement, causing him to feel a sense of ’the rabbit dies, the fox grieves.’
However, the fact that His Highness Prince Huan keeps them, his servants, in his thoughts, even if it’s just to quell a grievance, makes their existence worthwhile.
"Your Highness, the loose ends over there, have been taken care of as instructed by Mr. Tu. Now, about when to secretly control the Marquisate of Haiyuan and North Sea County?" Zhao Yu inquired.
"Tying up the loose ends is good enough."
After a moment of contemplation, Ji Ao made a decision, "The North Sea County may be a juicy piece of meat, but there’s no rush.
My sister Changle’s influence is growing heavier, and that Ye Zhen is her Barbarian Hall’s Left Chief Priest, with quite the connection; we must avoid acting rashly and provoking her.
Her anger I do not fear, but should she side with my few good brothers, that wouldn’t be ideal."
"Let’s leave North Sea County alone for now. Wait for the news of his demise before making a move. As for the Marquisate of Haiyuan, discreetly take it over. It is a golden sea route that can support one million elite soldiers for me!" Ji Ao instructed.
"Yes, I’ll see to it immediately," said the old servant.
As Zhao Yu left, Ji Ao, in good spirits, lifted his cup again and said, "Mr. Tu, your calculations are brilliant, let me toast to you again!"
"Please!"
....
At the same moment, Ye Zhen, trapped in the Primordial Ruins Absolute Territory, looked even more troubled than before.
His Red Moon Soul Ring, and the Mustard Seed Space built around All Heavens Small World within him, were all unable to open.
More critically, in just this short half a quarter-hour, the consumption of All Living Beings’ Will Power in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace had already exceeded a hundred drops.
And the total amount of All Living Beings’ Will Power left in the wish power pool of Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace was under four hundred drops.
The next instant, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sank into his last hope for escape—the War Soul Blood Flag!
