Hearing this, Mu Shang was stunned at first, then he laughed happily. "So this is the reason why Mister doesn't want to meet me. Well, as Mister wishes, we'll meet in the future. When Mister has the confidence to challenge me, I'll be waiting. As long as Mister has the ability, you can take away the title of the world's youngest celestial array master." After that, he happily turned and left without saying a word.
On the paper boat, everyone was silent.
Bai Weiwei looked into the cabin, and the worship in her eyes grew stronger.
Nong Siniang muttered to herself like a love-struck fool.
No one expected to see Mister Haoyu challenge Heavenly Master Mu today. That was Heavenly Master Mu, the youngest Heavenly Master of Origin Arrays in history. Today, he was challenged. They believed that in the future, this scene would be recorded in the annals of history.
They saw Mister Haoyu bare his fangs with their own eyes.
No one doubted that the Yu Hao inside was fake. Who could change people under the eyes of two half-ancestors?
In the cabin, Liu Shaoge looked calm.
From the moment Mu Shang appeared, he had already thought of how to deal with it. Just like when he pretended to be Yu Hao in the academy, these were trivial matters to him.
However, he took a look at himself in the mirror. Yu Hao, the one who was revered by so many outside and had even caused the Origin Array Heavenly Master to take the initiative to meet him, was Lu Yin? Wasn't his performance a little too monstrous? The gap between him and Lu Yin was growing wider and wider, to the point where it was almost invisible.
A few days passed, and they were getting closer to Shenwu Sky.
In the distance, Lu Yin finally got the chance to continue rolling the die.
Ever since he used the name of the God of Forgotten Ruins to scare the Four Cardinal Scales and lure them to gather the people of the Star Alliance again, Lu Yin had rolled the die many times. He had rolled six pips several times, but he had not been able to integrate it into any of the Star Alliance cultivators.
He could only rely on luck.
Lu Yin raised his hand and the die appeared. He tapped it and watched it slowly stop. Finally, it was two pips. It was meaningless.
He exhaled in disappointment. Again.
The second time, it was four pips. Time Stop Space.
It was not a waste to roll four pips. Although the cultivation of the Sirius Art was still far away, it was still close to perfection.
On his third try, he rolled Pips, and a token fell out. It shattered with a casual touch and was useless. He sighed. He had taken the risk of leaving the paper boat, but his luck had been so bad. He hoped that he would be able to roll Pips on his last try.
When he saw the die stop spinning at six, Lu Yin was overjoyed; it was finally time.
Following the darkness in front of him, he used his consciousness to see a bright ball of light not far away. There was a ball of light around him that was so hot that it made him panic. Could this represent the Progenitor Realm?
Lu Yin didn't dare to get too close, and instead fused into the bright ball of light that was closer to him.
As his consciousness fused with it, a very uncomfortable feeling spread throughout his body. Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a dark and desolate land. There was a long stretch of numb, corpse-like crowds. Even further away, there was a solemn and glorious shrine that was filled with a deathly stillness. Above his head were two familiar lands: the Top Realm and the Middle Realm.
Was this the star of the Starry Sky of Trees?
Memories continued to pour into his mind, and Lu Yin stood in place as his expression changed. It took him a while to recover, and he finally knew where he was. This was the Outer Realm, one of the seven main stars — the Nightmare Star. It was also known as the Nightmare Realm.
This was a very strange planet.
It was a strange planet where everyone could only enter and not leave. There were no trees, flowers, birds, fish, or even insects on this planet. There was only a boundless deathly stillness, and there were only houses built from piles of sand and stone. This place was constantly repeating scenes of doomsday. Astral sources and star energy were constantly wreaking havoc, destroying everything that came into contact with them. Endless cycles of disasters played out as poisonous underground creatures and cruel creatures devoured the surface at any moment. No one could stay in one place for too long.
This was a cursed planet that ordinary people would never want to come into contact with.
Lu Yin had heard of the Outer Realm before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. However, after completing the Heaven's Beyond Heaven trial in the Frigid Immortal Sect, he had learned a little about it for the first time. Bai Sheng was in the Outer Realm. The Four Way Scales, or rather, the Starry Sky of Trees, had some little-known Progenitors who were also in the Outer Realm.
Unfortunately, Bai Sheng hadn't said much.
The person that Lu Yin had fused with had been born on the Nightmare Star. He had never left, and it was impossible for him to leave. He didn't know much about the Outer Realm, but he knew a lot about the Nightmare Realm.
Through this person's memories, Lu Yin also learned a lot about the Nightmare Realm.
There were astralsources and star energy here, but it was impossible to cultivate. The astralsources and star energy here were extremely violent, and the moment one tried to cultivate, their body would be torn apart. Thus, the people of the Nightmare Realm didn't cultivate astralsources or star energy. Instead, they cultivated a power called nightmare energy. This power was unique to the Nightmare Realm, and it wasn't absorbed from the natural world. Instead, it was absorbed from the bodies of living creatures in the Nightmare Realm, such as the poisonous insects underground and humans.
The person that Lu Yin had fused with was called Thison, and he was a cultivator of the power of nightmares who had reached the sixth stage.
The people here didn't know the difference between the power of nightmares and astralsources, but based on the brightness of the orbs, Lu Yin could determine that a cultivator at the sixth stage of the power of nightmares was equivalent to a cultivator with a power level of a million.
Thison was definitely an expert in the Nightmare Realm.
Memories flooded into Lu Yin's mind, and he looked at the tall and imposing shrine in the distance. The creator of this shrine was the ruler of the Nightmare Realm, and he was known as the Nightmare Ancestor.
If he wasn't wrong, then he should be a little-known Progenitor. There were no records of him in the Starry Sky of Trees.
Hmm?
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Lu Yin's mind. Was that Drunkard?
Lu Yin saw Drunkard in Thison's memories, and he hurriedly searched through his memories.
After a while, Lu Yin let out a long sigh. Did the Fifth Mainland restrict these geniuses?
In the Fifth Mainland, although Drunkard was one of the Ten Arbiters and had the qualifications to compete with other geniuses of the same generation, she didn't have any advantage over Qiu Shi and the other powerhouses of the Neoverse or Wang Yi of the Starry Sky of Trees, let alone the Fourth Young Ancestor.
However, in the Nightmare Realm, Drunkard had experienced confusion and started cultivating from scratch. Now, she had cultivated her power of nightmares to the fifth stage.
It should be known that Thison's power of nightmares was comparable to a cultivator with six Origin Tribulations, and the fifth stage of the power of nightmares was equivalent to an Emissary. Although Lu Yin didn't know if the power of nightmares was stronger than a Stellar Source, it at least proved that Drunkard had the strength to fight against an Emissary.
Wu Taibai was one of the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies, and he was also a Supreme of the Shenwu Plane. He was as famous as Xia Taili, but he still hadn't broken through to become an Emissary. Xia Shenfei was only at the first Origin Tribulations, and the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters were stuck at the same level because the Stellar Source Universe had been devoured. However, Drunkard had already reached this level. She was at least on the same level as Xia Shenfei.
Not only that, but because of her outstanding talent, Drunkard had been accepted as a disciple by the Nightmare Ancestor.
She was a Saintess who was always drunk.
Lu Yin found it strange that even on the Nightmare Star, Drunkard was always drunk. However, the Nightmare Star actually knew how to brew wine, and it even used poisonous insects to brew wine, which was very popular with Drunkard.
Lu Yin stood in place for a long time, and he only sobered up when faint streaks appeared in the sky.
Tissen didn't know what those streaks were, but he was already used to them, just like how people on Earth were used to sunrises and sunsets. However, Lu Yin felt that this was not a normal phenomenon, and it seemed more like a man-made arrangement. The inability to use astral sources and star energy was definitely not normal.
If astral sources and star energy were like this, then the Eternals wouldn't have tried so hard to devour the Stellar Source Universe.
This place was very abnormal.
He withdrew from the fusion and returned his consciousness to his body.
The situation in the Nightmare World was not something he was concerned about at the moment, but he would definitely come into contact with it in the future.
Lu Yin had used up his last chance to roll the die, so he had no choice but to ask the Fog Ancestor to take him to the paper boat.
…
The White Dragon Clan's mountain range stretched endlessly like a roaming dragon, and it was filled with elegance. The Frigid Immortal Sect was mysterious and unfathomable, and because of the clouds, it looked like a fairyland. The Shenwu Plane was filled with malevolence, especially the incomparably huge Hellwyrm that could cover the entire sky. The students who saw it for the first time were incomparably shocked.
Lu Yin was equally shocked. He had fused with Long Ke and many other cultivators in the Astral Tree Domain, and he had seen the Shenwu Plane in their memories. However, this was the first time he had personally experienced it. This was the Shenwu Plane, and it was domineering, cruel, vile, and filled with a murderous aura. It displayed its invincible strength to everyone.
An incomparably huge broken blade had stabbed the Hellwyrm's tail deep into the ground, trapping it. It was a display of terrifying strength.
"This, this is the legendary Prison Dragon?"
Qing Feng was shocked. Although he had become Qingchen's disciple, he had never been to the Shenwu Plane before. This was also his first time seeing the Hellwyrm.
Bai Weiwei's eyes flickered. Every time she saw the Hellwyrm, she was shocked. Legend had it that this Hellwyrm possessed unparalleled strength and had once wreaked havoc in the universe. Even Progenitors were helpless against it. In the end, the Xia family's ancestor had used a broken blade and chains to imprison it in the Shenwu Plane, unable to escape for eternity. This was the Xia family's tyranny.
Anyone who came to the Shenwu Plane would first be shocked by the Hellwyrm, followed by the spikes on the ground. Whether it was the mountains or rivers, there were countless spikes that hung upside down. The endless spikes were filled with sharpness, and anyone who touched them would be torn to shreds. They were like sharp blades that intimidated everyone who came to the Shenwu Plane.
Lu Yin stood on the paper boat and looked up at the Hellwyrm and the nine huge chains. Were these chains the same as the ones recorded in the Frigid Immortal Sect's Cloud Forest Tower?
Was that Hellwyrm still alive?
What kind of power did it have?
Lu Yin's gaze was strange.
"You should be proud. This is the Shenwu Plane, the power behind you," Xia Ziheng said.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze. "The power behind me?"
Xia Ziheng stared at Lu Yin. "You are the son-in-law of the Shenwu Plane. You are now and always will be. Next, the Xia family will pay respects to our ancestors. At that time, you will stand at the front, and everyone will see you and know that you are from the Shenwu Plane."
At that moment, a figure tore through the void and walked out from the distance, causing the Shenwu Plane to feel apprehensive.
Xia Ziheng looked back, and his expression changed. "Wu Yao?
You actually followed me? "
