As soon as Lan Xiaobu entered the disintegrating void, he was immediately overwhelmed by an endless wave of disintegration energy. Although his own great dao protected his world from being disintegrated, he had now willingly entered the domain of disintegration laws. His Longevity Domain began to break apart instantly.
However, Lan Xiaobu’s escape speed was extraordinary. While sensing the direction of the strongest disintegration energy, he continuously repaired his Longevity Domain. At the same time, he began using the Cosmic Dimensional Model to construct the disintegration laws.
Since perfecting his great dao, Lan Xiaobu had rarely relied on the Cosmic Dimensional Model. But now, with his focus split between resisting the disintegration laws and searching for the direction of the Land of Immortality, constructing the law’s dimensional model was a task he entrusted to the Cosmic Dimensional Model.
As he pressed forward, Lan Xiaobu’s anger grew. One after another, vibrant planets collapsed under his divine sense, and countless fleeing people died in despair under the disintegration laws.
The angrier he became, the more he forced himself to stay calm. The further he advanced, the more terrifying the disintegration energy grew. Moreover, Lan Xiaobu felt his lifespan rapidly draining. The disintegration laws seemed to contain the most advanced time or age-related great dao.
This puzzled him. He knew the Time Saint had fallen in the Tai Xu Tomb, and the Time Dao Scroll was currently in his possession. The presence of time-related disintegration laws clearly indicated that the opponent’s great dao was tied to time.
But even if the Time Saint had been reborn, they couldn’t possibly wield such immense power, could they? This was the disintegration of an entire plane, stripping its fortune and vitality. The opponent was at least a peak World-Deriving powerhouse, if not a Creation-level magnate.
Fortunately, Lan Xiaobu had already proven his Time Dao. With his understanding of the Time Dao and the time laws within his Longevity Domain, he quickly slowed the drain on his lifespan. Knowing the opponent’s great dao involved time laws, he also accelerated the perfection of his domain.
His Longevity Domain was constantly being disintegrated and rebuilt. Yet, Lan Xiaobu vaguely sensed he was getting closer to the Land of Immortality.
His escape technique was incredibly fast. In the domain of disintegration laws, no escape technique could function, but his Ruleless Escape Technique was not only unaffected—it grew faster. As all rules disintegrated, they couldn’t affect his Ruleless Escape Technique.
Days later, a violent disintegration channel appeared before Lan Xiaobu. Sweeping his divine sense into it, it was instantly disintegrated. The channel emitted an overwhelmingly terrifying disintegration law, with increasingly profound and clear time rules. Lan Xiaobu was almost certain this channel was constructed by the one responsible for the plane’s tribulation. Moreover, their great dao was undoubtedly linked to the Time Dao Scroll.
If he passed through this disintegration channel, he was almost guaranteed to encounter the culprit behind the tribulation.
Lan Xiaobu didn’t rush into the channel. He was waiting for the Cosmic Dimensional Model to construct the disintegration law. Once it did, he would understand both himself and his enemy, giving him a chance to survive even if his strength was inferior.
Lan Xiaobu had no shortage of chaotic divine spirit veins and chaotic energy. Even if the opponent was an immortal powerhouse, the Cosmic Dimensional Model’s speed in constructing the disintegration law was astonishingly fast.
In just half an incense stick’s time, the Cosmic Dimensional Model completed the construction of the opponent’s disintegration law.
Examining the dimensional structure of the disintegration law, Lan Xiaobu confirmed his suspicions. The opponent’s great dao was indeed primarily time-based, and like him, they had cultivated not only the Time Dao but also the Five Elements Dao and other cosmic laws.
Whether this was a creator of their own great dao, Lan Xiaobu wasn’t sure. But he was certain this was a ruthless figure with a terrifying great dao. From the dimensional structure of the disintegration law, he could tell their combat strength was formidable.
The Cosmic Dimensional Model also clearly revealed flaws in the opponent’s great dao. Lan Xiaobu also understood why they were disintegrating this plane: this was a World-Deriving powerhouse using the plane’s vitality and fortune to step into the Creation Realm.
Knowing the opponent was a World-Deriving powerhouse, Lan Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief. They were undoubtedly far stronger than Huang Buzhi, but compared to a Creation Saint, they should be somewhat easier to handle.
Lan Xiaobu didn’t delude himself into thinking he could face a World-Deriving powerhouse just because he had driven off Huang Buzhi with the Cosmic Mill.
Huang Buzhi’s strength was likely diminished in this plane. Moreover, an immortal powerhouse’s strength in the Land of Immortality was ten times, if not more, greater than elsewhere.
Fortunately, since driving off Huang Buzhi, Lan Xiaobu’s strength had also grown rapidly.
The disintegration energy in the channel grew increasingly violent. Lan Xiaobu knew he couldn’t wait any longer. If he did, the entire plane would be disintegrated, rendering his presence here meaningless.
He took out the Time Dao Scroll, transforming it into a layer of armor over the Book of Life and Death. Then, he swallowed five Five-Needle Pine Dao Fruits, each with different attributes, before charging into the disintegration vortex channel.
The moment he entered, his domain shattered instantly.
Lan Xiaobu frantically constructed a new Longevity Domain while rushing forward. Before the domain could be completed, it collapsed again, and his Fixed Ruins Armor began to disintegrate.
Feeling the Fixed Ruins Armor disintegrate, Lan Xiaobu was shocked. If this opponent reached the Creation Realm, how powerful would they be? A mere World-Deriving cultivator was effortlessly disintegrating his innate treasure. Weak as it was, the Fixed Ruins Armor was still an innate treasure.
This was despite Lan Xiaobu knowing the weaknesses in the opponent’s disintegration law and navigating through its least potent areas. Otherwise, not only the Fixed Ruins Armor but perhaps even his Great Kun Shield and Book of Life and Death would have disintegrated.
Fortunately, the disintegrating Fixed Ruins Armor bought him some time. Lan Xiaobu used this to frantically employ his Ruleless Escape Technique, moving at a speed nearly indistinguishable from teleportation.
Crack! The Fixed Ruins Armor finally disintegrated and vanished. Another crack followed as his newly constructed Longevity Domain shattered, and cracks appeared on his Great Kun Shield.
Shocked but undeterred, Lan Xiaobu pushed his speed even faster. He knew if his Book of Life and Death disintegrated, his physical body and soul would be next.
Passing through the endless, terrifying tribulation disintegration laws, Lan Xiaobu felt the increasingly dreadful disintegration energy but grew calmer. He knew he was about to confront the mastermind behind this plane’s disintegration.
With another crack, his Great Kun Shield and Longevity Domain turned to nothingness. Yet, Lan Xiaobu surged forward another hundred million miles.
The endless disintegration laws slammed into the Time Dao Scroll. Time energy swirled around him, and in an instant, it felt as though billions of years had passed.
Despite the Time Dao Scroll’s protection, Lan Xiaobu’s hair and beard turned white, his appearance and skin aging into that of a frail elder.
Crack! As the Time Dao Scroll shattered, Lan Xiaobu’s Longevity Halberd unleashed a vast halberd sound.
The mournful tune pierces the heart, the soaring halberd sound fills the river, a man’s sorrow, buried in a foreign land!
The halberd sound laws formed a new intent in that moment, an intent that stirred the endless cycles of cosmic worlds.
Lan Xiaobu felt neither sorrow nor joy. He knew this Halberd Mourning Intent was the best choice against this opponent.
A million miles away, a man in a yellow robe sat cross-legged on a blue stone. Countless defensive arrays surrounded him, except in front, where a vast void vortex loomed.
The yellow-robed man was weaving intricate hand seals, channeling endless disintegration laws into the void vortex. Simultaneously, vast amounts of fortune, vitality, and karma were drawn to him, his aura steadily rising.
At that moment, he opened his eyes, frowning slightly. He sensed a crisis.
How could this be? He was comprehending the Creation Dao here, and no one in the Land of Immortality could detect him. Even if someone knew he was proving the Creation Dao, they couldn’t breach the defensive arrays he had accumulated over countless years.
Only a fool would attack him, as offending a powerhouse on the verge of the Creation Realm was not something a pursuer of the immortal dao would do.
Yet the sense of crisis grew stronger. The yellow-robed man stared at the vortex before him, the only area unprotected, as it was the disintegration channel for this plane’s tribulation. Who could come through here?
As he thought this, he felt an overwhelming wave of halberd sound sweeping toward him.
In that moment, he was drawn into its intent.
By a peaceful village, farmers toiled in the fields, his parents among them. He and his childhood friends caught bugs and chased grasshoppers under the low-flying swallows.
Blue skies, white clouds, fields, swallows…
Friends, parents, neighbors, oxen…
What a beautiful scene. How long had it been since he returned home? A wave of sorrow and homesickness welled up, wrenching his heart. The aura of death surged, and his eyes filled with grief. A man’s sorrow, destined to be buried in a foreign land…
No, he hadn’t returned home—he was destroying its very existence…
Wrong! The yellow-robed man snapped awake, but a soul-tearing halberd had already pierced through the tribulation vortex, aimed at his brow.
