In front of the Space Tunnel.

This place had long been a river of blood, corpses strewn everywhere. The Golden-Winged Roc and its companions had slaughtered until the sky turned dark and the earth was desolate. Countless people and demons died at their hands, among them even their own kin!

Though it was hard to part and their hearts ached, their master's command could not be defied!

At this moment, Chen Lan returned with two heads, those of Chen Han and Duobao Daoist Venerable. He held them high above his head and shouted angrily, "Your last two Daoist Venerables of the Human Race are dead. Now, there is not a single Daoist Venerable in the entire Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm who can challenge me. Do you still wish to fight?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd and beasts were shocked, all looking at the two heads in Chen Lan's hands, retreating one by one in disbelief.

Dead, all dead, all Daoist Venerables of the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm, either dead or surrendered, are gone!

Now no one can rival Xiao Yao.

"Three breaths of time. After three breaths, any still here shall die." Chen Lan spoke indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, some immediately retreated without a shred of hesitation. Though they desired resources, they did not want to lose their lives!

Three breaths passed, and everyone, both people and demons, left. Not one dared stay here.

Chen Lan laughed. The crisis in the Demon Realm was finally resolved, and he could return to Blue Star to rest for a bit.

He looked at the Golden-Winged Roc and its companions, "You three stay here, guard the tunnel. Do not let anyone enter."

"Yes, Master!" The three Daoist Venerables, including the Golden-Winged Roc, kneeled in unison, speaking as one.

"Grandmother, do you want to go back to Blue Star with me?" Chen Lan looked at Yu Lin and smiled.

"Yes." Yu Lin nodded. She had this intention; she wanted to see what kind of planet her grandson had stayed on for so many years.

Chen Lan reached out and gently grabbed Yu Lin's wrist with a smile, and stepped into the Space Tunnel with his grandmother.

"Thankfully, the master didn't settle accounts." The Golden-Winged Roc sighed in relief seeing Chen Lan leave.

"Indeed, who would have thought that the master came from Blue Star. It's terrifying that such a genius was born in such a world." The Water Wind Dragon wiped the cold sweat from its forehead.

They knew what kind of world Blue Star was — the Land of Fallen Gods, where countless great powers perished, and previously a barren land without Spiritual Qi. Only recently had Spiritual Qi revived and merged with the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm.

For such a world to produce a Daoist Venerable like the master, would indeed make Heaven and Earth envious!

In the distance, the Human Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Chen Lan's departing figure, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Suddenly, a child appeared beside the Human Emperor, eating a candied hawthorn, and asked, "Who is this Xiao Yao that the Human Emperor protects him so?"

"Can't you, as Heavenly Dao, see it?" The Human Emperor looked down and laughed.

"I can see it. Entangled in numerous causes and effects, if undying, he will become a god. But such people aren't uncommon, are they?" The child puzzledly scratched his head.

There are thousands of people entangled in many causes and effects, at least a thousand if not ten thousand. Which of those who embark on the path of cultivation isn't entangled in some cause and effect?

"But didn't you notice, his line of cause and effect runs through the Ten Thousand Realms?"

The Human Emperor spoke deeply, and the child was suddenly stunned, dropping his candied hawthorn, though he didn't react.

"Line of cause and effect... through the Ten Thousand Realms... Could it be that he..." The Heavenly Dao's eyes widened in shock, looking up at the Human Emperor.

The latter only nodded slightly, smiling faintly:

"His fate is arduous, but to walk this far is no easy feat. With a line of cause and effect running through the Ten Thousand Realms, his future path is the Path of Invincibility."

"The Path of Invincibility is not a path ordinary people can walk. I've never seen anyone succeed, and those who do, are hardly... human!"

Heavenly Dao looked gravely toward the Space Tunnel.

Running through the Ten Thousand Realms, this is to stand against the Ten Thousand Realms!

Can anyone truly... achieve this?

...

Blue Star.

Huaxia.

In the sky, a Space Tunnel slowly opened, and two people emerged from within.

"Grandmother, this is my world, the country where I grew up. Look, isn't it beautiful..."

Chen Lan walked out of the Space Tunnel with Yu Lin, smiling like a child as he introduced what he believed was the most beautiful world, the world where he grew up.

But when he saw the current state of Huaxia clearly, he fell silent, his expression slowly becoming dazed.

Corpses strewn everywhere, a river of blood, though the blood had already coagulated, staining the entire land. Countless buildings were destroyed, the ground filled with the screams of humans and the roars of demon beasts. Life was in torment, like a living purgatory, with none of the former beauty!

In the next second, Chen Lan spread his Divine Sense, scanning Huaxia, his fists slowly clenching, teeth gritting.

His Xiao Yao Sect had indeed been destroyed!

The once prosperous Xiao Yao Sect was now razed to the ground!

"Damn it, who did this!" Chen Lan spoke coldly, his aura bursting forth abruptly, and the world changed immediately, thunder rumbling, countless bolts of lightning roaring like Thunder Dragons!

"Grandson, what's going on?" Yu Lin asked with a frown.

She could see that a major battle had taken place here, a very severe one.

"Grandmother, I will handle it." Chen Lan forced a smile and disappeared in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the main hall of the Xiao Yao Sect. Though it was already in ruins, someone was there, waiting for his return!

An old man dressed in a white robe, now stained red with blood, lay on the ground. He was Emperor Luo Tianlong, now on the brink of death, his breath slow, the kind that was not far from dying.

Chen Lan quickly approached, channeling a stream of Spiritual Qi into Emperor Luo Tianlong's body, stopping his injuries, and another stream of Life Dao Power, healing him.

"Cough, cough!"

Emperor Luo Tianlong's body convulsed, coughing a few times, then slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Chen Lan beside him, his eyes turned vacant, followed by endless joy, surprise, and excitement. He wanted to get up and kneel before Chen Lan, but his severe injuries pulled at him, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"Master, to greet you with folded arms, I can't..."

"Don't speak, just recover well." Chen Lan said with a faint smile, but the veins on his neck bulged, indicating his immense anger.

Who was it that destroyed his Xiao Yao Sect, injured his servant, and took away so many of his disciples and servants?

His Divine Sense scanned through Xiao Yao Sect, not finding anyone else, their whereabouts unknown!

"Master, after you left, people from the Desolate Celestial Realm came. After Sun Wukong was captured, another group of celestial soldiers and generals arrived, led by one wielding the Qiankun Ring and stepping on the Wind and Fire Wheel, named Nezha. He captured and killed many of us. Those strong like Tao Tian Demon Venerable were captured, while the weaker ones, they..."

At this point, Emperor Luo Tianlong stopped abruptly, sadness welling up, without the courage to continue.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan's eyes widened slightly, stepping back incredulously, then suddenly turned to ask Emperor Luo Tianlong word by word, "Where is Luo Tao?"

"He... is dead."
