Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Nezha?

These were the seven Foundation Establishment Daoist Masters coordinating with Xu Yunfan: two at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, three at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and two at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Including Xu Yunfan, the nominal Vanguard Commander, they represented the entirety of the Foundation Establishment forces the Primordial Sect had committed to the initial exploration of the Celestial Realm.

For facing a World Heaven that might possess a native True Monarch, such a lineup was already considered formidable.

Celestial Derivation Daoist Master and Lu Chuan stood side-by-side high in the sky, gazing down below.

They were Great Daoist Masters and would not easily set foot in the New Realm. For one, it would provoke a reaction from any True Monarch-level beings on the other side. Moreover, they had already condensed their Golden Nature; if the Celestial Dao of that World Heaven were to notice them, it would undoubtedly try every means possible to annihilate them.

The realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection was very special.

Those at this stage were like great rats gnawing at the Celestial Dao. Condensing the Innate Golden Nature wasn’t just about one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit achieving immortality; it also required harvesting and fusing with Root Qi.

Celestial Derivation Daoist Master flipped his hand over, and a Bone Talisman covered in strange, bloody patterns appeared in his palm.

He made a grasping motion in the void with his other hand. An old man appeared, suspended in mid-air. His face was gaunt, and Profound Iron Chains pierced through his scapulae. His eyes flickered with a mixture of venom and despair.

This was the defector from the Celestial Realm previously controlled by the Blood Demon—a traitor to the Celestial Realm.

Now that the Blood Demon was dead, the man had naturally fallen into the hands of Celestial Derivation Daoist Master.

After all, the Blood Demon’s Blood Sea Dao Foundation was extremely useful for dealing with cannon fodder with low-realm Cultivation. Often, with a single unfurling of his Sea of Blood, a land stretching for ten thousand li would become a place of desolation.

"Open!"

Celestial Derivation Daoist Master let out a low shout. The Bone Talisman in his hand flared with a brilliant bloody light, triggering violent fluctuations in the spatial node.

At the same time, he pressed a finger to the traitor’s brow, forcibly extracting his Origin aura and merging it into the Bone Talisman.

OMMM!

An unstable Light Sect, formed from countless distorted patterns of light and crimson Talisman Seals, boomed open in the void.

Through the Light Sect, one could faintly see a scene of mountains and forests shrouded in clouds and mist, brimming with vigorous Vitality. A dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, along with a profound and ancient aura different from that of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, washed over them.

This was it—the Otherworld Celestial Realm.

"Now."

Celestial Derivation Daoist Master looked at Xu Yunfan.

As the vanguard, Xu Yunfan naturally had to be the first to enter.

Although it was exceedingly dangerous, successfully leading the charge would not only elevate his status in the Primordial Sect but also earn him a massive amount of Contribution Points, which could be exchanged for all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Xu Yunfan took a deep breath and, without a moment’s hesitation, strode forward, transforming into a streak of lightning and instantly plunging into the Light Sect.

Following close behind were the seven Foundation Establishment Daoist Masters. Each had their own agenda; they subconsciously exchanged glances, and each could see the sly look in the others’ eyes.

’As Daoist Masters of the Demon Sect, who didn’t have their own schemes?’

The next instant, the seven moved as one. Escape Lights of various colors flared as they streamed in one after another.

Following them, the nearly ten thousand Qi Cultivation disciples surged into the Light Sect like a bursting flood, driven by a mix of fear of the unknown and a desperate hunger for plunder and opportunity.

These people were like low-level triad grunts, burdened with crushing debt and naturally desperate to gamble on a chance to rise through the ranks.

A Qi Cultivation disciple with a Longsword on his back couldn’t help but say excitedly, "If we make a good haul this time, maybe we can pay off our loans and still have a huge surplus. We might even gather the resources for Foundation Establishment."

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Other Qi Cultivation disciples nearby chimed in with their agreement.

Although the vast majority of Primordial Sect disciples were selfish, if they encountered a deal that promised a thousand-percent return, they wouldn’t hesitate to stake even their lives on it.

When the last Qi Cultivation disciple disappeared into the Light Sect, the old traitor seemed to have been drained of all his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but the venom on his face suddenly erupted into a crazed, hissing laugh.

"Hahaha!! Fools, you’ve fallen into a trap! You fools from the Primordial Sect, did you really think the Celestial Dao of my world was so weak?

This passage is the graveyard we prepared for you! We lured you into this trap precisely to...!"

His words were cut short. With a subtle twitch of Celestial Derivation Daoist Master’s finger, the man’s physical body and Divine Soul were instantly incinerated.

Celestial Derivation Daoist Master and Lu Chuan remained impassive, completely unsurprised by the outcome.

Whether a minor traitor’s betrayal had ulterior motives, or whether this was truly a trap—none of it mattered in the face of absolute power.

Their gazes pierced through the Light Sect, closely monitoring the situation at the other end of the passage, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Those at Foundation Establishment Perfection were already extraordinary. If they entered another world without suppressing their power, they would be instantly targeted by its Celestial Dao. Thus, they had to stake everything on a single, decisive strike.

A playful smirk even touched the corner of Lu Chuan’s lips.

’A burial ground? Fine. Let’s just see whose grave it turns out to be.’

He wasn’t worried in the slightest that this was a trap aimed at Golden Core True Monarchs, because this small world simply didn’t have any existence capable of threatening a True Monarch.

That Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Realm merely held a single Fruit Position. How could he possibly compare to a True Monarch of the Primordial Sect?

PFFT!

The moment he passed through the passage, a strong sense of spatial vertigo hit him, but with Xu Yunfan’s current Divine Soul strength, he recovered in just an instant.

He instantly stabilized his body, and his vast Divine Thought spread out like mercury flowing across the ground, warily scanning his surroundings.

The next moment, a wave of Pure Spiritual Qi, so dense it far surpassed many of the Grotto Heavens of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, flooded his nostrils, mixed with the fresh scent of plants and earth.

Beneath his feet was solid ground covered in lush moss. Ancient trees towered around him, full of vibrant Vitality, and the Primordial Qi was so dense it nearly condensed into a faint white mist.

Looking up, the sky was as blue as if freshly washed. In the distance, mountain peaks rose in succession, wreathed in iridescent clouds. A profound aura of the Spiritual Mechanism filled the world.

’What a magnificent Celestial Realm!’

Xu Yunfan’s heart leaped with joy. He knew in an instant that this world’s potential was indeed immense.

If he could obtain some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, his cultivation speed would surely soar.

The resources and Spiritual Materials that Chu Chennan had left him were proving to be insufficient.

However, a grave expression had just begun to form on his face when it was immediately replaced by a look of surprise.

His Divine Thought spread forward at incredible speed. He had yet to sense the auras of the Wansheng Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivators that Senior Brother Lu Chuan had spoken of, nor had he detected any native resistance. Instead, far in the distance above a sea of clouds, his gaze fell upon a sight that made his Heart and Spirit tremble.

In the vast and boundless dome of the sky, the clouds were layered like mountain ranges.

There, Immortal Light blazed, and banners obscured the sky!

Countless Celestial Soldiers stood arrayed upon the clouds. Clad in gleaming silver Armor and wielding sharp, cold-glinting blades, they formed an impeccably neat and solemn battle formation that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The completed battle formation projected an image of highly condensed Spiritual Power and will. The aura of war and slaughter it emanated coalesced into a tangible tide, pressing down with the majestic, domineering, and righteous authority of those who carry out the will of heaven.

And at the very front of that endless formation of Celestial Soldiers, where the sea of clouds churned, a single point of red light was exceptionally dazzling and piercing.

A figure stood tall and imposing upon the clouds, its gaze locked firmly onto Xu Yunfan, who had just emerged from the passage and appeared in the forest below.

The figure was not tall, and in fact seemed quite young, but their aura was like that of a drawn Divine Weapon—unmistakably sharp and deadly.
