The Name of Emperor Changsheng Shakes the Dark Domain!

"Emperor combat prowess... Impossible! A mere Great Saint, how could he possess the combat prowess of an Emperor?" The Heavenly Demon's eyes turned blood-red. Its colossal form manifested completely. Stretching across the void and blotting out the sky and sun, it made one feel as though the apocalypse had arrived. Yet such a terrifying Heavenly Demon was now glaring furiously at Lu Changsheng. Just now, it had exhausted all its means. And in the end, it actually could do nothing to Lu Changsheng? This was simply unbelievable to the Heavenly Demon. "Heavenly Demon... It seems this is the full extent of your strength. Is this the power of the Emperor level? It seems... not quite as strong as I imagined!" Lu Changsheng smiled. This time, he finally knew his own strength. An Emperor was indeed very strong. A Heavenly Demon at the Emperor level was also very strong. Had it been before, even with his Illusory Realm reopened nine times, he certainly would not have been able to withstand the assault of a Heavenly Demon or an Emperor. There was no doubt about this. Even though he had already been an Invincible Great Saint after reopening his Illusory Realm eight times, the same held true. Reopening the world nine times brought a massive improvement, but not to the extent of rivaling an Emperor. Yet over the course of these several thousand years, Lu Changsheng had comprehended 1,500 Great Daos. He had reconstructed a full 1,500 Great Daos. This improvement was simply immense. So immense that it had crossed the threshold between Great Saint and Emperor. He truly possessed the combat prowess of an Emperor. Of course, this was merely Emperor-level combat prowess. Barely rivaling the combat strength of an Emperor. The Heavenly Demon could do nothing to Lu Changsheng. Yet by the same token, Lu Changsheng could do nothing to the Heavenly Demon. More importantly, Lu Changsheng realized that not even the Heavenly Demon knew that the nine Great Daos he simulated were not the power of true Great Daos. Standing with his hands clasped behind his back, Lu Changsheng gazed at the Heavenly Demon and said coldly, "Heavenly Demon, you can do nothing to Lu, and likewise, I can do nothing to you. However, while Lu cannot harm you, as for these strange beasts you brought along, with a single thought from Lu, every last one of them will die!" "You dare?!" The Heavenly Demon grew even more enraged. "Dare I or not? You can try and see if you can stop me." "I give you the time an incense stick takes to burn. Every strange beast of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone must retreat into the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. If a single one steps outside the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone, Lu will personally strike to slay it!" "This time shall be forgiven, but if you ever dare attack the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect again, Lu will bathe the entire Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone in blood!" With that said, Lu Changsheng flicked a finger. Swoosh! A streak of white light instantly shot toward the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. In the blink of an eye, it plunged into the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. "Roar..." Countless strange beasts wailed in grief. Countless more were consumed by fury. They sensed that many of their bloodline descendants had died. This was an Emperor! Across such an immense distance, a mere flick of his finger could exterminate countless strange beasts within the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. Terrifying killing intent radiated from the Heavenly Demon. Yet it did not make another move. It knew that this time, Lu Changsheng was giving it a "lesson." A form of retribution. And he had not washed it in blood. If he truly wished to, Lu Changsheng could indeed slaughter the entire Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. This was not an exaggeration in the slightest. Emperor combat prowess was still an Emperor! "Tell me, who are you?" The Heavenly Demon enunciated each word in a deep, heavy voice. "Elder of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect, Lu Changsheng!" "Good! Quite the Great Saint Changsheng—perhaps in the future you ought to be called Emperor Changsheng. For the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect to give rise to an expert with the combat prowess of an Emperor is indeed your sect's fortune." "Retreat!" The Heavenly Demon retreated. It was not entirely solitary. It had countless descendants and countless subordinates. Clearly, the Heavenly Demon could not abandon the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone. If it truly came down to an all-out battle with the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect, the Heavenly Demon did not actually fear it. Yet it could not kill Lu Changsheng, while Lu Changsheng could bathe the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone in blood. Even if it also washed the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect in blood, what would be the point? In just a short moment, the strange beasts in the void vanished without a trace. Gone. Not a single strange beast remained. Boom! A tremendous uproar erupted across the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. Countless disciples felt an overwhelming shock in their hearts. The Heavenly Demon had retreated! The Heavenly Demon had actually retreated? What was more, it was clearly driven back by Lu Changsheng. The Heavenly Demon could do nothing to Lu Changsheng. Even before leaving, the Heavenly Demon had addressed Lu Changsheng as an "Emperor." What did that signify? An Emperor! Lu Changsheng was an Emperor! "Emperor Changsheng! Our Dao Comprehension Holy Sect has birthed an Emperor as well!" "Hahaha, who could have imagined that our Dao Comprehension Holy Sect would quietly give rise to an Emperor?" "Even if Emperor Changsheng merely possesses the combat prowess of an Emperor, Emperor combat prowess is still an Emperor!" "With Emperor Changsheng, our Dao Comprehension Holy Sect will never need to fear the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone again..." Countless disciples of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect were thrilled. An Emperor. The Dao Comprehension Holy Sect had finally given birth to an Emperor. In the past, they would not have dared even to dream of it. Yet now, it was reality. Even the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master was dumbfounded. He considered himself well aware of Lu Changsheng's circumstances. Even when Lu Changsheng went to the Tianyuan Holy Sect, he had kept tabs on him all along. Yet he had paid far more attention to Lu Changsheng's Dao companion, Holy Maiden Qingluan. He had believed that Lu Changsheng was very likely to "rise in prestige through his wife." Once Lin Qingluan became an Emperor, the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect would benefit immensely by riding on Lu Changsheng's coattails. Yet never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the greatest treasure was actually Lu Changsheng himself! Not only had he become an Invincible Great Saint, he now even wielded the combat prowess of an Emperor? Furthermore, while confronting the Heavenly Demon head-on, he had earned its acknowledgment of "Emperor combat prowess," which was tantamount to being officially "certified" by the Heavenly Demon itself. It carried absolute weight! The shock was so immense that even the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master found it inconceivable. Whoosh! Lu Changsheng returned inside the mountain gate of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. Step by step, he descended from the sky, arriving before the Sect Master, elders, and others of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. Led by the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder, they bowed respectfully to Lu Changsheng and said, "We pay our respects to Emperor Changsheng!" Lu Changsheng looked at the Great Saints before him. Once, the way these Great Saints looked at him was as an equal. Yet now, simply because he possessed the combat prowess of an Emperor, everything had changed. All former glances of envy, jealousy, and the like had vanished. Replaced entirely by an emotion of sheer reverence and awe. Emperor! Those two words alone were enough to explain everything. Once one attained the status of an Emperor, everything changed. It meant standing atop the Dark Domain. It meant holding the power of life and death over countless cultivators. Even a holy sect had to be utterly respectful and submissive before an Emperor. Lu Changsheng was not an Emperor, yet he was virtually indistinguishable from one. "Very well. Now that the threat of the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone has been resolved, Lu may return to continue comprehending the Great Daos." "Yes, Emperor. We will designate the Great Dao Stele as a forbidden zone and permit no one to disturb the Emperor." "If the Emperor has need of it, we can also collect treasures similar to the Great Dao Stele on the Emperor's behalf. Many sects and aristocratic clans across the Dark Domain possess treasures akin to the Great Dao Stele as well," the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master suddenly chimed in. "Oh?" "You can collect treasures similar to the Great Dao Stele or Great Dao Disc?" "We can! But we might need to invoke the Emperor's prestigious name..." "No matter. I care only for results." Lu Changsheng nodded. How the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect collected those treasures did not concern Lu Changsheng. It would surely involve intimidation and inducement. Could other factions possibly hand over their treasures willingly? Yet so long as he could continuously obtain insights into the Great Daos, Lu Changsheng naturally did not care how they were acquired. The Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master was overjoyed inwardly. So long as the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect could still be of service to Lu Changsheng, that was the sect's greatest value. As for whether this matter would be difficult? Perhaps it would have been difficult in the past. Under normal circumstances, given the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect's previous predicament, they certainly would not have done something that offended so many factions. Yet things were different now. The present Dao Comprehension Holy Sect was overseen by an "Emperor." What did doing such a thing matter anymore? In fact, if the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect merely leaked a hint of news, countless clans and sects would likely scramble over one another to offer up the Dao rhymes and Dao traces they had accumulated to the sect. Such was the prestige of an Emperor! Beneath the Great Dao Stele, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged as he had before. It was not that he was devoid of excitement. Rather, he harbored misgivings. What he was wary of was Emperor Beichen. Not that he feared Emperor Beichen, but because after this incident, Emperor Beichen was very likely to come "pay him a visit." The Heavenly Demon could not see through his reality, but what about Emperor Beichen? He was a true Emperor! Even so, matters having progressed to this point, Lu Changsheng had nothing to worry about. Perhaps, if even the Heavenly Demon could be fooled, Emperor Beichen could be fooled as well? It was not impossible. World Masters were exceptionally adept at concealment and disguise. Unless someone was intimately familiar with World Masters, they might truly be deceived by one. And in the Dark Domain, Emperors who had come into contact with World Masters could be counted on one hand. Whether anyone could identify Lu Changsheng's identity as a "World Master" was truly uncertain. Still, Lu Changsheng kept a clear head. He knew full well that strength was the only true guarantee of his own safety. "Fifteen hundred Great Daos already grant Emperor combat prowess. What if it were three thousand Great Daos, or even six thousand?" Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly. Reaching beyond one's grasp was no virtue. Furthermore, his Illusory Realm could not stack Great Daos indefinitely. There was bound to be a limit. Yet where that limit lay, Lu Changsheng could not discern, at least for now. Lu Changsheng continued to devote himself to comprehending the Great Daos. Meanwhile, the news of his battle repelling the Heavenly Demon continued to spread. The sheer shock of this news far exceeded Lu Changsheng's imagination. The entire Dark Domain was shaken by it. Even the battle between Emperors and source lifeforms, which was currently in the brightest spotlight, seemed less captivating in comparison. As a nine-Dao Great Saint, he had driven back a Heavenly Demon and attained the combat prowess of an Emperor! This was simply a myth! No, not even myths and legends were this preposterous. From antiquity to the present, how many astonishingly talented figures had the Dark Domain produced? They were simply beyond counting. Yet of those who could attain the combat prowess of an Emperor through their own strength rather than relying on any treasures—it was not a matter of being few and far between; there had not been a single one. Upon first hearing this news, many people questioned it. "Lu Changsheng fighting above his station against the Heavenly Demon and possessing Emperor combat prowess? Nothing more than a rumor. Perhaps he could protect himself before the Heavenly Demon, but repelling the Heavenly Demon and possessing Emperor combat prowess? That is utterly impossible!" "This Lu Changsheng seems to have quite a reputation. But previously, his fame skyrocketed because he was Lin Qingluan's Dao companion. Later, word spread from the Tianyuan Holy Sect that he was an Invincible Great Saint. Now word spreads that he possesses Emperor combat prowess and could repel a Heavenly Demon head-on? How absurd can this get?" "Indeed. By all accounts it has only been several thousand years. Could a cultivator who wasn't even a high-rank Great Saint now rival an Emperor and possess Emperor combat prowess?" "Never in the entire history of the Dark Domain has a cultivator possessing Emperor combat prowess emerged. Even if some could preserve their lives before an Emperor, they relied on all kinds of treasures to barely escape with their lives. Who would dare claim to rival an Emperor, let alone possess Emperor combat prowess?" The first thought of ordinary cultivators was disbelief. Wild fabrication. People would boast of anything. Yet well-informed figures and peak Great Saints all fell silent. None publicly voiced their opinions. Because they had wide sources of information. They could learn some of the details. Yet the more they learned, the more alarmed they became. It seemed that just as the rumors claimed, Lu Changsheng truly might possess Emperor-level combat prowess. Day after day passed. Swish! Lu Changsheng seemed to sense something. He abruptly snapped his eyes open. Boom! A vast and majestic aura descended. This aura was even more overbearing than that of the Heavenly Demon. Even more terrifying. This was... a true Emperor! "Emperor Beichen!" Lu Changsheng looked at the robed figure outside the mountain gate. Beyond doubt, that was Emperor Beichen. However, Emperor Beichen seemed to have given him face as "Emperor Changsheng." He did not enter directly into the mountain gate of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. Instead, he remained outside the mountain gate. Moreover, the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect's mountain-protecting array immediately activated. Once the mountain-protecting array was active, even an Emperor could not break it easily. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Figures appeared in the void, gazing from afar at Emperor Beichen. They were the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master, Supreme Elder, and others. "The Dao Comprehension Holy Sect respectfully greets Emperor Beichen!" The Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master bowed respectfully. Though he knew that behind the Heavenly Demon's near-destruction of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect lay Emperor Beichen fanning the flames, even so, before Emperor Beichen, all of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect still had to be utterly deferential. They could not even display any overt displeasure. Yet in the face of everyone's bows, Emperor Beichen offered scarcely any response. His gaze was fixed behind them all along. That direction was precisely the direction of the Great Dao Stele. Emperor Beichen's purpose was self-evident. He had come for Lu Changsheng. "Emperor Changsheng, would you care to step out for an audience?" Emperor Beichen's voice resonated majestically across the entire Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. At this moment, no one doubted Emperor Beichen's identity any longer. Emperor Beichen had actually come in person! "That is Emperor Beichen, isn't it? He really came?" "That is a true Emperor!" "Has Emperor Beichen come to find trouble with Emperor Changsheng?" Many disciples of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect paled slightly. Emperor Beichen was a true Emperor. Lu Changsheng merely possessed Emperor combat prowess. In the end, they were worried. Yet their worry was futile. And so, countless gazes turned toward that figure beneath the Great Dao Stele. Rustle... Lu Changsheng's figure moved. He rose and brushed off the accumulated snow covering him. Although it was winter and snow lay everywhere, he felt not the slightest chill. He had even allowed the snow to drape over him, like a true ascetic. Lu Changsheng rose and walked step by step beyond the mountain gate, gazing across the space at Emperor Beichen. "Emperor Beichen." Lu Changsheng spoke. He scrutinized Emperor Beichen with an equal gaze. "Emperor Changsheng, the Heavenly Demon suffered a bit at your hands. This seat was very curious and came to have a look. Would you allow this seat to witness it?" Emperor Beichen said. An esteemed Emperor traveling specially to the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect certainly was not doing so merely to take a look at Lu Changsheng. A Great Saint rivaling an Emperor. This was unprecedented. Something unheard of since ancient times. Naturally, Emperor Beichen wanted to see it with his own eyes. "Is there no other choice?" Lu Changsheng asked. "Once this seat has witnessed it, I shall naturally depart." Emperor Beichen provided his answer. Both fell silent, speaking no further. Yet Lu Changsheng knew that this time, he had no choice but to act. Otherwise, Emperor Beichen would not let the matter rest. Hearing a hundred times was not as good as seeing once. Let alone for an exalted Emperor? "So be it." Lu Changsheng agreed. Regardless of whether Emperor Beichen could spot any irregularities in him, he had to take action. Boom! Lu Changsheng held nothing back, instantly simulating nine Great Daos. Emperor Beichen stared intently at Lu Changsheng's nine Great Daos. He indeed felt a terrifying pressure. From these nine Great Daos, he seemed to sense pressure rivaling that of an Emperor. Yet how was this possible? Could a nine-Dao Great Saint truly rival an Emperor? Previously, Emperor Beichen had not believed it. Even now, Emperor Beichen did not believe it. And so, Emperor Beichen abruptly struck out with a palm! Rumble! Lu Changsheng's nine Great Daos collided fiercely with Emperor Beichen's palm! Shockwaves rippled out in all directions. Almost everyone in the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect held their breath. They saw with absolute clarity that this time, Lu Changsheng was facing a true Emperor! This was a battle of true Emperor caliber! In the Dark Domain, under normal circumstances, massive battles between Emperors did not occur. After all, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation, what conflict could not be resolved? Conflicts between Emperors certainly existed, but they would not escalate to a point where one died and the other survived. At most, some price would be paid. Turning hostility into harmony. The smoke and dust dissipated. Lu Changsheng was still standing there. Emperor Beichen gazed at Lu Changsheng. After a long time, Emperor Beichen let out a long sigh and said, "Emperor combat prowess! Emperor Changsheng, this seat was reckless. In that case, let this seat make amends to Emperor Changsheng with a piece of information." "Lin Qingluan's situation in the two-realm war is not good. She has been trapped by a source lifeform. However, for now her life is in no immediate danger. That source lifeform is currently locked in battle with Emperor Brahma, but that source lifeform's supreme treasure is more than enough to trap Lin Qingluan and the other nine-Dao Great Saints." "Barring any accidents, even after the battle between Emperor Brahma and that source lifeform ends, Lin Qingluan and the other nine-Dao Great Saints will likely be captured by the source lifeform." Swish! Lu Changsheng abruptly raised his head, his gaze locking sharply onto Emperor Beichen. "Where is Qingluan? And which source lifeform is it?" "The specific battlefield is in the Ninth War Zone of the two-realm battlefield. The opponent is Hunyuan Patriarch!" Having said his piece, Emperor Beichen turned and left directly. His offering of this information to Lu Changsheng served as his apology for offending Lu Changsheng. After all, Emperor Beichen's actions just now amounted to an offense against an Emperor. According to the rules of the Dark Domain, offending an Emperor demanded amends. Had anyone beneath an Emperor dared offend one, only death would await them. Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought. Emperor Beichen's information was certainly true. Moreover, the exchange just now confirmed to Lu Changsheng that he truly did possess Emperor combat prowess. Furthermore, not even Emperor Beichen was able to see through his identity as a "World Master." This undoubtedly allowed Lu Changsheng to breathe a sigh of relief. Yet thinking of Lin Qingluan's predicament, Lu Changsheng felt a faint surge of urgency. Whoosh! Lu Changsheng immediately returned inside the mountain gate of the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect. "Emperor..." The Dao Comprehension Holy Sect's Supreme Elder, Sect Master, and others promptly came forward to bow. Lu Changsheng did not have time to explain things to them, stating directly, "I am heading to the Tianyuan Holy Sect. Mobilize all your connections immediately to investigate news regarding Emperor Brahma and Lin Qingluan." "If you learn anything, transmit a message to me at once." "Yes, Emperor." Seeing Lu Changsheng's solemn expression, the Dao Comprehension Holy Sect Master knew that something had likely happened to Lin Qingluan. She was Lu Changsheng's Dao companion! The entire Dao Comprehension Holy Sect dared not tarry, immediately activating the teleportation array. Buzz! The array activated, and Lu Changsheng returned once again to the Tianyuan Holy Sect. Luo Yang, the Sect Master of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, was presently presiding over the sect. Lu Changsheng sought out Luo Yang at once. Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, Luo Yang was overjoyed. His eyes were filled with shock. Evidently, Luo Yang had also received word that Lu Changsheng now possessed Emperor-level combat prowess and was considered an Emperor! "Greetings to Emperor Changsheng!" Luo Yang's expression was exceedingly respectful. This was an Emperor! Never had he imagined that before their own Holy Maiden could become an Emperor, Lu Changsheng would attain Emperor combat prowess first. This was simply too inconceivable. Yet Luo Yang had verified this news multiple times; there was no mistake. "Qingluan is in danger. Are you aware?" Lu Changsheng asked straight to the point. "The Holy Maiden is in danger?" "I have not received any news..." Luo Yang paled in shock. Lu Changsheng would not make such a statement without reason. In all likelihood, Lin Qingluan had indeed run into danger. Lu Changsheng's gaze turned cold. It seemed ordinary people were not yet privy to this news. Either Emperor Brahma had suppressed the news. After all, this matter was simply too monumental. If word got out that top Great Saints from numerous sects and clans had all been captured in one fell swoop by Hunyuan Patriarch, it would deal a devastating blow to morale. For Emperor Brahma, attempting to recruit so many Great Saints again in the future would become exceedingly difficult. For now, he would conceal it as long as he could. Another possibility was that Emperor Brahma was locked in fierce battle with Hunyuan Patriarch, and with the Ninth War Zone still in chaotic combat, there had not even been an opportunity to send messages. Yet regardless of which it was, Lin Qingluan was in danger. "Immediately look into the situation regarding the Ninth War Zone of the two-realm battlefield, especially concerning Emperor Brahma and Lin Qingluan, and then transmit a message to me." "I shall head to the Ninth War Zone immediately." Lu Changsheng decided decisively. "Yes, Emperor!" Luo Yang promptly went to make arrangements. Lin Qingluan was tied to the future of the Tianyuan Holy Sect as well; naturally, he did not want anything to happen to her. After giving his orders, Lu Changsheng calmed down instead. He knew that panic could solve nothing. Calming his mind, numerous thoughts sprang forth in Lu Changsheng's head. He thought of many possible approaches. However, there was an issue. Even though his strength was now formidable, if he went to the two-realm battlefield under the identity of "Emperor Changsheng," would he be able to rescue Lin Qingluan? It would likely be very difficult. If he, an "Emperor," joined the battlefield, then a source lifeform from chaos would emerge to oppose him. Aside from endless fighting, it would accomplish nothing. It was not even certain whether he could reach Hunyuan Patriarch. Yet Lu Changsheng was not truly "Emperor Changsheng." Or rather, in addition to being "Emperor Changsheng," he was also a chaos lifeform. A chaos lifeform acknowledged by Ancestor Qingchi. This was crucial! After deliberating, Lu Changsheng ultimately decided to go meet Hunyuan Patriarch as a "chaos lifeform." And then ask Hunyuan Patriarch to release Lin Qingluan to him. This shouldn't be a problem. Simply asking for a single nine-Dao Great Saint, given his current Emperor-level combat prowess, would certainly be far easier. With this thought, Lu Changsheng hesitated no longer. Leaving the Tianyuan Holy Sect directly, he rushed toward the Cloud Dream Mountain Range at top speed. Now possessing Emperor combat prowess, his speed had soared. Moreover, Lu Changsheng was deploying his Illusory Realm with full power. Furthermore, while using his Illusory Realm at full power, he actually made a new discovery. Yes, a new discovery. When Lu Changsheng deployed the Illusory Realm, within the area shrouded by it, he was the master of the realm. He could do anything, including "teleporting" and "spatial traversing." In other words, anywhere enveloped by the Illusory Realm, Lu Changsheng could reach instantaneously. This gave rise to a possibility. Lu Changsheng could utilize the Illusory Realm to travel via seamless, rapid transitions. To outside observers, it looked as though a beam of white light was traversing through space. Of course, it still fell short of true spatial traversal. Moreover, it was a heavy drain on the Illusory Realm. After all, enveloping an area in the Illusory Realm was equivalent to "cleaving" out that region. It required suppressing the rules of that patch of the Dark Domain. And that took a sliver of time. Yet even so, the tiny amount of time spent was negligible. For such a distant journey, flying had previously taken Lu Changsheng several years. Yet now— Three days! In just three days, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Cloud Dream Mountain Range. If the range of Lu Changsheng's Illusory Realm expanded further, his travel speed could be even faster. However, three days was fast enough. Three days later, Lu Changsheng arrived once again before the spatial passage within the Cloud Dream Mountain Range. The reason he had not taken the spatial passage of the Panyuan World was that many Dark Domain cultivators were aware of it. If Lu Changsheng took the Panyuan World's spatial passage, he would most likely be discovered. To avoid unnecessary trouble, taking the spatial passage in the Cloud Dream Mountain Range was safer. That way, Lu Changsheng could return quietly to chaos without drawing notice. Seeing the spatial passage, Lu Changsheng stepped straight into it without the slightest hesitation. Hum... Ripples vibrated out from the spatial passage. The two chaos lifeforms originally guarding outside the spatial passage immediately grew tense. Ordered to guard this spatial passage, they had seen no activity all this time. Now there was a sudden disturbance. Was it a blessing or a curse? The two felt intensely nervous. Under the current circumstances, any possibility existed. Soon, a figure walked out from the spatial passage. Seeing this figure, both found him somewhat familiar. "It's... Saint Lu." "Yes, it's Saint Lu! We both saw Saint Lu back then." "Fortunately, it isn't a Dark Domain lifeform..." The two chaos lifeforms breathed a sigh of relief. Yet in the very next instant, both tensed up completely. A streak of white light swept over instantly, drawing both of them inside. At once, a terrifying pressure descended, rendering their bodies utterly unable to move. That dreadful pressure was so suffocating that it felt as if they were directly facing a source lifeform, sending tremors through their entire bodies.
