Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin The magnificent galaxies were connected together in one continuous piece, which reflected the colours of the nebulae. Countless Clans of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation inhabited these galaxies. The army that Zhuo You brought with her to conquer the Prosperous Dao True World was composed of the Clans from these galaxies. They might be far from comparable to Forces such as the Zhuo Clan in terms of heritage, but their strength could not be underestimated. Not when compared to Nascent True Worlds. After all, there were existences comparable to Immortal Kings living among these Clans. Dazzling rays of crystalline light radiated from these galaxies, overflowing with indescribably dense vitality. Traces of Power of Fortuity could be seen everywhere, rising from the ground and surging turbulently through the galaxies like stormy waves in the ocean. This place was the Zhuo Clan’s headquarters, where the dense Fortuity of the Clan had accumulated for billions of years. In the past, the other Major Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation were not even allowed to set foot in this place without expressed permission. “Just the Fortuity of a Major Clan alone is almost comparable to the accumulation of the entire Spirit Ruin Civilisation. The Immortal Spirit Civilisation’s heritage is truly terrifying.” The Spirit Empress was secretly amazed and shocked by the sights that she saw along the way. At this point, they had not even reached the Zhuo Clan’s core region. Their location could only be regarded as the relatively periphery in the Zhuo Clan’s territory. If they were at the true core region, then the intensity of the Power of Fortuity would definitely be even more astounding. In the end, she could only sigh to herself. The Immortal Spirit Civilisation was indeed deserving of being ranked among the top Ancient Civilisations. Its heritage was simply extraordinary. Comparatively, the Spirit Ruin Civilisation had barely passed the threshold of an Ancient Civilisation at best. It was impossible for the Spirit Ruin Civilisation to rank among the top Ancient Civilisations. As the Empress of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, she was often blamed and reviled by the people because of the orders from the Ancestors. Nevertheless, she sincerely hoped that the Spirit Ruin Royal Family could grow increasingly prosperous and steadily move towards an era of even greater glory. The White Bone Ancestor King was dressed like an old servant as usual. Although he said nothing, the disdain hiding deep in his eyes could not be concealed. After all, he was about to reach the Ancestral Dao Realm. It was only natural that he would not be shocked by such a sight. Besides, there were many existences comparable to the Zhuo Clan among the Civilisations that he had once destroyed. Why would he be amazed by the scenery in front of him? Gu Changge, the White Bone Ancestor King, and the Spirit Empress walked through the vast and endless starry sky. Their speed might not seem particularly fast, but they were travelling over several thousand kilometres with every step taken. The entire galaxy disappeared behind them. At this moment, even the existences in the Zhuo Clan, comparable to the Dao Realm experts, could not perceive the fluctuations in their aura, much less traces of their whereabouts. Located within the territory under the Zhuo Clan’s jurisdiction were many Great Universes and Ancient Worlds. Existences who either rivalled or exceeded Immortal Kings in strength could be found in basically every Great Universe. In addition, the Ancient Worlds orbited and surrounded the Great Universes in layers. Even if a foreign enemy were to invade, the enemy would need to pay a heavy price just to penetrate deep into the Zhuo Clan’s territory. Furthermore, the closer one got to the Zhuo Clan’s core region, the stronger the existences inhabiting the Great Universes became. Some of them even contained figures who were comparable to Dao Realm experts. “There are a total of four Major Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, that is the Zhuo Clan, the Hun Clan, the Wu Clan, and the Gou Clan. The strength and heritage of the other three Clans are not weaker than the Zhuo Clan. Among them, the Wu Clan and the Gou Clan are considered the oldest Clans in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. Their strength might even be slightly stronger than the rest.” The Spirit Empress explained softly, revealing the information that she previously obtained from Zhuo You and the others. The Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan were actually very closely related. It was said that their first-generation Ancestors were conceived from the most primitive Chaos Qi that was produced during the birth of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. The Chaos Qi evolved and manifested into two people, who later became the Founding Ancestors of the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan respectively. That was how the Zhuo Clan and the Hun Clan of today came into existence following many epochs of growth and development. On the other hand, the origins of the Wu Clan and the Gou Clan stretched even further into history. Even Zhuo You and the others did not know the exact details. In any case, the entire Immortal Spirit Civilisation had existed as a four-legged cauldron until now. The four Clans coexisted and restrained each other to maintain the power balance. “With the current power of the Spirit Ruin Civilisation alone, it will be very difficult to invade and conquer the Immortal Spirit Civilisation from the outside. It’s practically hopeless.” Gu Changge nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. Needless to say, he did not expect to gain complete and absolute control over the Immortal Spirit Civilisation with the power of the Spirit Ruin Civilisation alone. The Immortal Spirit Civilisation could be regarded as one of the most powerful Civilisations among the Ancient Civilisations. Therefore, the difference in strength between the Spirit Ruin Civilisation and the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was no different from an ordinary Immortal going against an Immortal King. He naturally had other plans for the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, and the Zhuo Clan was the perfect breakthrough point for his goals. “The Immortal Spirit Civilisation’s heritage is extremely terrifying. Furthermore, they are affiliated with the Primary Hope Civilisation. They will offer many resources as a tribute to the Primary Hope Civilisation at every epoch in exchange for protection.” “The Primary Hope Civilisation is a renowned Supreme Civilisation in the Expanse Domain, and the extent of their heritage is unimaginable. Not to mention, they have survived numerous Tribulations and Great Purges. To the Primary Hope Civilisation, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation is but one of their subordinates. If something were to happen here, they would soon be alerted to the commotion. That will only make things more troublesome for us.” At this moment, the Spirit Empress was carefully analysing the situation that they might face in the future. Gu Changge’s strength might be unfathomable, but he was only one person. Comparatively, the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was supported by the Primary Hope Civilisation, a Supreme Civilisation comparable to the Rising Dawn True World which could easily quell any trouble just by dispatching an Ancestral Dao Realm expert to the source of the commotion. The True World where the Spirit Ruin Civilisation originated was actually located within the territory governed by the Rising Dawn True World. It was just that the Spirit Ruin Civilisation’s heritage was not enough for the Rising Dawn True World to pay attention to them. So, they did not qualify to become affiliated with the Rising Dawn True World. Aside from the Nine Heavens, peerless Forces such as the Rising Dawn True World and the Primary Hope Civilisation were undoubtedly the most famous throughout the vast Boundless Expanse. Though, that was only true for the Spirit Ruin Civilisation based on the knowledge within the scope of their reach. The Boundless Expanse was infinite after all. There had to be other areas which had produced diverse Supreme Civilisations that would not be inferior to the Rising Dawn True World or the Primary Hope Civilisation “The Primary Hope Civilisation…” Gu Changge muttered those words under his breath. The reason why he did not attack the Immortal Spirit Civilisation directly was because the power currently available to him was not enough. Taking action directly would only bring about subsequent troubles. If he had another Supreme Civilisation under his control, then he would have much fewer concerns to worry about. The Primary Hope Civilisation, to which the Immortal Spirit Civilisation was affiliated with, was his next target. Boom! While he was deep in thought over these matters, there was a sudden explosion. A hazy divine light coming from the Zhuo Clan’s core region ahead suddenly soared into the sky. The hazy divine light swiftly penetrated the Great Universes, as though opening up a series of Spacetime passages. Countless universes in the darkness were illuminated by the hazy divine light, becoming bright and clear to see. Looking from the direction where Gu Changge and the others were located, a barrier that resembled a curtain of light had abruptly emerged from the depths of the Zhuo Clan’s territory, and enveloped the vast lands in an instant. The light radiating from the barrier was incomparably dazzling, with a dense layer of World Principles shimmering. Moreover, the barrier was very thick. It was at least several hundred metres thick, completely sealing off the void from the outside. Heavy and impressive Chaos Fluctuations gathered and intertwined with each other in the vicinity of the barrier, descending like the vast Astral River cascading down from above. It was impossible to escape from the confines of this barrier without the strength of an Immortal King. At this moment, the Zhuo Clan members within the area fell into uproar. Countless streams of light flew out from many universes and transformed into numerous figures overflowing with shock and alarm. “What happened? Why did an Elder suddenly issue the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order to lock down the entire area?” “Could it be that something big has happened? Only a Heavenly Elder has the qualifications to activate the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order.” “Once the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order is activated, nobody in the Zhuo Clan is allowed to leave without permission. Not to mention, it is impossible to break the Grand Array without the strength of an Immortal King.” The Zhuo Clan members appeared in the various starry skies in shock. The dazzling Grand Array transformed into divine light that soared into the sky and enveloped the surrounding universes over a large area. The surging fluctuations of World Principles permeated the air, sealing everything inside the barrier. The All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order was one of the decrees the Zhuo Clan could issue. It would only be activated when a major event occurred to prevent the Clansmen from leaving or to capture somebody. However, it had been several million years since the last time the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order was activated. Most of the Zhuo Clan members had already forgotten about the existence of this decree by now. At this moment, the expressions of the people turned from shock and amazement to wariness. They were alert in trying to perceive the terrifying aura that triggered the sealing of the world. In the Zhuo Clan’s territory, who was so bold as to provoke a Heavenly Elder into activating the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order? Going so far as to sealing off the entire world? “What’s going on? Did the Zhuo Clan notice our presence? Are they locking down the universes to prevent us from escaping? But the Zhuo Clan seems to have underestimated our strength. How can such a poor Grand Array possibly imprison us?” The Spirit Empress was stunned by the sudden occurrence. When she finally regained her composure, she could not help feeling confused. On the other hand, Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged. He shook his head slightly and gazed into the distance with a rather strange expression. “The Great World-Sealing Grand Array is not meant to imprison us.” Boom! As soon as those words left his mouth, a dazzling light shower suddenly appeared in a dark void located several million kilometres away from them. It was far more impressive than the Grand Array earlier. The dazzling light shower illuminated the entire area, and a white-haired figure with a Human face emerged from the light. “How dare you kill my descendant? From now onwards, there will be no place for you in Heaven or Hell. Nobody can save you from death!” Just by standing there, her figure seemed to fill the entire starry sky. Her expression was cold, and her murderous intent could not be hidden. The world echoed with the sound of her fury, spreading throughout the various Great Universes The white-haired lady’s forehead glowed and then cracked open to reveal a vertical pupil. Just by sweeping her gaze over the lands, a boundless light shower burst forth and covered millions of kilometres. Even Spacetime was distorted by the impact. An uncountable number of energy particles flew out continuously, vigorously emerging and lingering in her surroundings. She captured them in her hand and began reorganising them to recreate a certain scene. “It’s Elder Zhuo Wu…” “Judging by Elder Zhuo Wu’s words, somebody killed her descendant? Who is so bold as to kill the descendant of a Heavenly Elder?” “They must be crazy!” They were completely shocked by the figure. Many of them even fell to their knees in fear and reverence, not daring to be disrespectful. Meanwhile, some were worried about being implicated and swept up in the incident. They could not help shivering in horror at the sight. The rage of a Heavenly Elder would not be appeased easily, especially since the absolute hatred from killing her descendant was involved. As things stood, the peace in the Zhuo Clan’s territory would be destroyed in the near future. If the murderer could not be found, then the All-Directional Universe Prohibition Order would not be withdrawn. There would be people patrolling the lands every single day. “For Elder Zhuo Wu to be so furious, her most beloved descendant must have been killed. It’s possible that the descendant’s Soul had been completely obliterated, destroying all cultivation efforts until now. Forget resurrection, even the hope of reincarnation and starting over has become an extravagant dream.” “Elder Zhuo Wu’s most beloved descendant? Are you talking about Zhuo Tianyin, one of the ten most powerful Peerless Monsters of the Zhuo Clan?” “They’ve gone overboard with their hatred. I wonder who could be so cruel?” Inside the Zhuo Clan’s territory, many Clansmen who were familiar with Elder Zhuo Wu’s circumstances were equally as shocked and incredulous. After all, somebody had slaughtered one of the ten most powerful Peerless Monsters of the Zhuo Clan within their own territory. Not to mention, the victim was the descendant of a Heavenly Elder. Just the perpetrator’s courage alone was enough to send chills down their backs. It was obviously an act to instigate chaos. Millions of kilometres away, the Heavenly Elder named Zhuo Wu had a frosty expression on her face. She was performing countless techniques to capture large amounts of energy particles by extracting them from various Spacetimes. The River of Time boiled in front of her. At the same time, the light shower grew brighter and brighter. She was trying to recreate the scene of her descendant’s death and determine where her descendant had perished. That was the vessel she had spent countless resources to nurture so that she had a container to place her Soul before her physical body decayed. However, her vessel had been killed. Even the vessel’s Soul had been burned to ashes, leaving no traces behind. How could that not make her furious? She was so furious that she wanted to descend in the Zhuo Clan’s Ancestral Land with her True Body and personally capture the murderer. She yearned to pull out his bones and slice his body into a thousand pieces so that he could never reincarnate again. Unfortunately, they were in the Zhuo Clan’s Ancestral Land. As a Heavenly Elder, she could not act recklessly lest she incurred the wrath and dissatisfaction of the other Elders. Not to mention, many of the Clansmen here were descendants of the Elders. She simply could not take action at will. “Damn it! I can’t recreate the scene at that time! Fortunately, my descendant has a trace of my Spiritual Energy in his body. Killing him means that you have also been linked to my karma, and had receive a backlash. With this link, you will not be able to run far. I will certainly find you.” Her expression was hideous for a moment, then she suddenly gave a cold laugh. She had attempted to recreate the scene at the time, tracing through Spacetime to determine how her descendant had perished. However, the other party seemed to have prepared for such an eventuality. All the traces from the scene back then had been cleanly destroyed. It was a pity that the other party had underestimated her ability. The traces from the past might have been obliterated, but the karma from the future could not be severed. Could the other party withstand the karma of existence on part with Dao Realm experts? “Cough, cough… Sure enough, the descendant of a Heavenly Elder is not that easy to kill. I haven’t even killed him, but I am already suffering from such terrifying backlash. If I had actually killed him, I would have been severely wounded even with the protection of the Eternal Divine Furnace. At this moment, millions of kilometres away from Zhuo Wu, a figure stood in one of the galaxies within the Zhuo Clan and weakly muttered to herself. The galaxy was covered in a sea of dirt-yellow in every direction. Looking from a distance, it seemed as though the galaxy was an endless desert, but the colour actually came from countless dirt-yellow crystals. Meanwhile, the figure was seated cross-legged on top of a crystal. There were cracks all over her body, and blood continuously gushed out of these cracks. It would seem her injuries were very severe. In front of her was a sacred furnace surrounded by blazing flames. The furnace gently bobbed up and down in the air, burning a figure who was screaming in agony. When she spoke, her voice was weak. Nevertheless, her eyes remained bright.
