Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin The strength of the Deep Control Clan was undeniable. They could seize and control any living creature in the world. Whether tangible or intangible, anything could become their physical body. Otherwise, they would not have been so feared by the other True Worlds that they were eventually annihilated and erased from history. Furthermore, Ni Chen was said to be the most tyrannical genius born into the Deep Control Clan in countless eras. His Talent was so extraordinary that he almost broke through past the Nirvana Realm. However, he ultimately failed in his endeavour. There was not enough time for him to comprehend or reach the higher realm. A huge calamity had befallen the entire Deep Control True World, and the experts from the other True Worlds attacked at the same time. That war completely shattered the Deep Control True World, and the Deep Control True World sank into ruins afterwards. Even now, Ni Chen had not forgotten his Father, who was the last Emperor of the Deep Control Clan. During that horrible war, his Father had dragged several mighty enemies into the depths of the distant Boundless Expanse with the intention to perish together with them. That was precisely the reason Ni Chen managed to survive the war. It was through this sacrifice that preserved the survival and hope of the Deep Control Clan. “My Life Force has improved. Although I am far from being equal to the True Spirits, the average cultivator is inferior to me. The Mountains and Oceans True World and the Ephemeral Yin True World… I will definitely exact my revenge on all my enemies. I am going to make them pay for all the pain and hatred I have suffered through.” Ni Chen sat cross-legged in the barren and isolated Star Territory with bone-deep hatred flashing in the depths of his eyes. “Sooner or later, this world will become my Clan’s new homeland. I will lead you so that you can see the outside world once more…” The remaining members of the Deep Control Clan were currently living inside an extremely remote Small Universe. Worried that they would be found by the experts who once destroyed the Deep Control True World, Ni Chen even constructed a Yin Yang Reincarnation Formation outside the Small Universe. The Yin Yang Reincarnation Formation formed an everlasting vortex that isolated the Small Universe from all divination and tracking methods. Be that as it may, the Small Universe was on the verge of death. If he failed to seize the Mountains and Oceans True World and release his Clansmen from the Small Universe within a hundred years, then his Clansmen would be obliterated and buried among the rubble of the decaying Small Universe. Ni Chen might seem steady and calm on the surface, but he was actually feeling anxious inside. He was running out of time. “A hundred years is more than enough for me, so don’t worry. Yan Er, Father, Mother, my Brothers… It won’t be long until we finally meet again.” He quickly collected his emotions and regained his composure. He gave a flick of his wrists and stored the Soul Fires floating in front of him. These Soul Fires were the Ancestor Heroes of the Deep Control Clan. Through some mysterious Secret Technique, they had managed to remain in the world to accompany Ni Chen. If Ni Chen encountered any danger, then these Ancestor Heroes could help him. Their remaining strength might be less than one ten-thousandth compared to their peak condition, but their combined strength was enough for them to exchange a few blows with an Immortal King. Therefore, they could also be considered one of the trump cards in Ni Chen’s possession. Afterwards, Ni Chen raised his right hand. A vortex of the sky appeared in the palm of his hand. Lowering his head, he stared at the vortex as though he was looking at himself. “This is my current Incarnation World, which is no inferior to the Immortal Domain.” He studied the Starry Sky Vortex in his hand. After some time, he slowly closed his eyes. When he closed his eyes, he simultaneously poured his divine sense into the vortex as though trying to penetrate the Star Territory. His actions caused the surroundings to be flooded from corner to corner with his divine sense. It was a strange feeling indeed. He was the vast sky itself. He could neither move nor exhibit any astounding Divine Abilities, but… all the lives inside this world were in his control. Furthermore, all outsiders would also be subjected to his domination inside this world. This was his Realm! Once he fully consolidated his cultivation, he decided to further expand the Realm. All of a sudden, his expression changed slightly. He frowned deeply and looked toward the edges of the Star Territory. An energy fluctuation had come from that direction at that moment. It was not very strong, but it was not trying to conceal itself either. On the contrary, it resounded throughout the universe like the sound of footsteps ringing across the vast sky. “Who is it?” Ni Chen looked uncertain for a moment. A strong sense of unease suddenly bloomed in his heart. He distinctly felt as though he had been targeted by something. [Who would come to this desolate Star Territory at this time?] Nevertheless, he was not an ordinary man. It did not take long for him to calm down. Not even a True Immortal could harm him when he was inside this Star Territory. The first thing he suspected was the enemies who once hunted down the Deep Control Clan. After all, those people were persistent hunters who wanted to completely erase the Deep Control Clan from the surface of the world. It was just that the Mountains and Oceans True World had been shattered to pieces, so trying to pursue him would be extremely difficult. The boundless Sea of Boundless Expanse was fraught with dangers at every turn. Even he had to spend tremendous effort just to arrive here by accident. Just as various thoughts passed through Ni Chen’s mind and his expression became increasingly solemn, the figure walking over from afar suddenly burst into laughter. It was almost as though the figure had already known that Ni Chen was hiding there. “You are very good at hiding, but I found you anyway.” The figure turned out to be a handsome young man in a white robe with wide sleeves. Moreover, he had a calm and confident smile on his face. As he walked over slowly, ripples spread out across the sky beneath his feet and enveloped Ni Chen in the blink of an eye. “It’s you…” Ni Chen’s eyes contracted sharply. He immediately recognised the young man in front of him. It was Wang Wushang, the Successor of the Wang Family. In the past, he was accidentally rescued by Wang Zijin in the Boundless Battlefield. Afterwards, he spent some time with the Wang Family to recuperate from his injuries. That was also when he first caught a glimpse of the young man standing in front of him. With his deep insight, he could naturally perceive that Wang Wushang was not simple. Wang Wushang might seem gentle and humble on the surface, but he was actually cruel and ruthless. For the sake of getting along with King Luo Residence, he did not hesitate to matchmake his cousin, Wang Zijin, with Luo Xuan even though he knew Wang Zijin found Luo Xuan annoying. “Why are you here?” Numerous thoughts flashed through Ni Chen’s mind, but his expression quickly returned to normal. In fact, he asked the question in a bland tone that did not reveal any fluctuation in his emotions. He had not fallen so low that he had to fear a young man like Wang Wushang. Prior to this incident, he had already made plans to approach the Wang Family through Wang Zijin. He wanted to contrive an opportunity to seize and take control of Wang Wushang’s body so that he could slowly devour the Wang Family from the inside. To his great surprise, Wang Wushang came to him before he could even implement the plan. “If you keep hiding, then I have no choice but to come and find you myself,” Wang Wushang said calmly. His expression was a mixture of indifference and tranquillity. In fact, the look he gave Ni Chen was as though he was looking at his prey. “You don’t need to panic. I secretly placed a mark on you during your stay at the Wang Family. As long as you’re not too far away from me and remain within the range of the Immortal Domain, I will naturally be able to find you.” Upon hearing those words, Ni Chen felt his heart sinking in despair. He immediately recalled the things that happened when he was living with the Wang Family. There was no way he could have made such a mistake, so he decided to carefully investigate the condition of his body later. In any case, Wang Wushang’s ability to leave the mark on him was clearly much more terrifying than he had imagined. “Are you so confident that you can defeat me?” Ni Chen asked in a composed manner. His gaze was fixed intently on Wang Wushang, who was walking toward him. He did not know what mistake he made that caused Wang Wushang to target him, but he was surprised that Wang Wushang actually travelled over millions of kilometres just to find and slaughter him. “Of course. If I didn’t have the confidence to defeat you, then how could I dare to come and find you?” Wang Wushang smiled slightly and continued, “You must be very confused as to why I want to defeat you. Seeing how things have come to this point, I might as well show you some compassion and tell you…” “You should never have been saved by Cousin Zijin. More than that, you should never have insulted Brother Luo and become the obstacle to the marriage between the Wang Family and the Luo Family. You’re an obstacle blocking my path forward, so I have no choice but to remove you.” At the end of his speech, the smile on his face disappeared only to be replaced by a chilly expression. Ni Chen was taken aback for a moment, then he quickly came back to his senses. [Is this happening because I was caught in the middle and hindered the marriage between the Wang Family and the Luo Family? In other words, Wang Zijin rejected the Luo Family’s marriage proposal because of me?] When the thought passed through his mind, he couldn’t help entertaining a fleeting fantasy even though his mind remained calm and firm. He might only have exchanged a few words with Wang Zijin, but he could sense that she was very different from most ordinary women. She was special and mysterious. At that time, he had been recuperating from his wounds in the Wang Family. It was only thanks to Wang Zijin, who sent a maid to deliver medicine to him, that his injuries could heal so quickly. When Luo Xuan of the King Luo Residence later came to the Wang Family to visit Wang Zijin, he had been watching from a distance. After he watched Wang Zijin express her displeasure only for Luo Xuan to persistently cling to her, he could not stop himself from stepping forward and scolding Luo Xuan. That was precisely the reason he offended Luo Xuan However, Wang Zijin’s attitude toward him did not change much. She remained very casual and natural toward him. Naturally, she treated the servants around her with the same attitude. Even Luo Xuan and Wang Wushang were no exception. It was as though everybody was the same in her eyes. Her attitude consequently left a deep impression on him, and his heartbeat would occasionally speed up slightly whenever he caught sight of her. Upon seeing the slight change in Ni Chen’s expression, Wang Wushang couldn’t help the cold sneer that spread across his face as he slowly walked over. He only said those words to fool and distract Ni Chen. His true purpose in coming here was not because of Luo Xuan but because of Ni Chen’s true identity. Ni Chen was part of the Deep Control Clan! The Immortal Domain was about to fall into chaos soon. If he could obtain the Deep Control Clan’s terrifying Divine Abilities for himself, then he would obtain the opportunity to create a foothold for himself in the future. Through the various ancient books and the information given to him by the Immortal King Ancestors, he could basically confirm that Ni Chen was part of the Deep Control Clan that was rumoured to have been exterminated. The Deep Control Clan had very small numbers. It could be said that they were one of the rarest races in the entire vast universe. Even so, the Deep Control True World had been named after them. That only showed just how powerful and terrifying they were.
