A single Immortal Pill had propelled him past his bottleneck in a short span, launching him directly into the Immortal Realm!

Within this new state, his Divine Body, his Divine Power Ancient Tree, and his Soul Altar had all undergone varying degrees of transformation, yet the most significant change was in the Dark Energy!

Now, within him, besides the Divine Power Ancient Tree serving as the source of his might, his Sea of Consciousness had also become a new wellspring of power!

The Divine Power nourished his entire physique, flooding him with abundant strength, while the Dark Energy sustained his Soul Altar, sharpening his Profound Meanings to exquisite mastery and invigorating his main soul to vibrant life. Even the Altar itself seemed possessed of endless reserve; every wisp of his divine sense, when released, felt capable of stretching infinitely.

Mysteries concerning Stars and Space achieved novel breakthroughs because of this, and it was precisely this enhancement that allowed him to draw in those sweeping, colossal spatial blades when weaving his Profound Meanings, controlling them entirely at will.

He could even perceive nearby Spatial Blind Spots!

The so-called Spatial Blind Spots were hidden regions of space that martial artists could not detect, accessible only to those with supremely refined Space Profound Meanings—a place to hide or launch a sudden, devastating strike from.

Space was like a room, like a forest, containing areas akin to shadows that ordinary martial artists couldn't see; those regions were the Spatial Blind Spots.

Audrey, Evelyn, Adams, and Marsia were all situated on an asteroid, not actually that far from the Dragon Lizard Continent. From the asteroid, they could still witness the battle between the Dragon Lizard Ancestor and Singh, seeing the world-shattering commotion over there.

However, most of the alien tribesmen in this vicinity could barely sense the asteroid where Audrey and the others were located.

This was because the asteroid rested within a Spatial Blind Spot, detectable only by powerhouses of the caliber of Singh, the Dragon Lizard Ancestor, or the masked woman if they calmed their minds and truly focused their perception.

This meant that Audrey and her group faced no immediate mortal danger. Given Shi Yan's exquisite command of Space Profound Meanings and the genuine power he wielded after breaking through to the Immortal Realm, he held no true fear of Singh or the Dragon Lizard Ancestor’s wrath, allowing him to remain calmly in place.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Seven ferocious souls, like savage demons with bared teeth and brandished claws, swarmed the Dragon Lizard Ancestor, tearing at him. The Dragon Lizard Ancestor sneered, condensing the illusory form of his true body—a colossal lizard burning crimson like wildfire. It clashed fiercely with Singh’s seven malevolent spirits, shattering the surrounding world and making the Dragon Lizard Continent itself seem on the verge of collapse.

During this time, an asteroid fell above Shi Yan’s head, and shattered stars rained down like a deluge. Slicing light blades crisscrossed the area, leaving it utterly ravaged.

Many of the alien tribesmen, amidst the clash between Singh and the Dragon Lizard Ancestor, had secretly harbored greed, intending to seize Shi Yan in the chaos, kill him, and absorb his essence to boost their confidence in breaking through to the Domain Ancestor realm. Some had already stealthily drawn nearer, preparing their moves.

Yet, Shi Yan’s sudden, wild eruption caused the downpour of asteroids and shattered stars, and the lightning-fast passage of light blades, which instantly vaporized at least a dozen tribesmen.

These individuals were not weak; they possessed cultivation at the Second Heaven of the Immortal Realm.

They had severely underestimated Shi Yan’s terrifying nature and grossly misjudged his insane ferocity. They were blasted into meat paste by asteroids and carved into bloody chunks by spatial blades, leaving only their souls to emerge, issuing shrill, venomous roars.

Shi Yan dared not expose the mystery of his Devouring Profound Meaning, so he cautiously refrained from releasing a Black Hole, relying instead on the suction power of his acupoints to absorb the escaping essence of life force.

Having just broken through to the First Heaven of the Immortal Realm, his body felt like a sponge, desperately needing replenishment. As the death-energy flowed into his acupoints, he instantly felt a rush of revitalization.

“I know. You all desperately wish to kill me, to refine my soul and aid your breakthrough to the Domain Ancestor realm.”

Shi Yan surveyed his surroundings, offering a relaxed, faint smile. “Anyone harboring such thoughts might as well step forward and try. Perhaps you might succeed. Yes, I am staying here precisely to give you this chance, this opportunity to reach the Domain Ancestor realm—do not let it slip away.”

At this moment, the Dragon Lizard Ancestor and Singh continued their savage contest. Singh still had not unleashed his ultimate weapon, nor had he activated the profound mysteries of the Soul Refining Cauldron, intending instead to use it at the most opportune moment to secure a decisive blow and utterly annihilate the Dragon Lizard Ancestor.

The Dragon Lizard Ancestor secretly resented Singh’s treachery and showed no mercy in his attacks. However, being in the form of a mere avatar, his power was limited, preventing him from truly destroying Singh. He harbored alternative plans and was not overly anxious, also waiting—waiting for the critical moment when Tu Shiqi and his wife delivered their fatal strike.

With these two titans preoccupied, the other alien tribesmen naturally began to form their own ideas: perhaps seizing Shi Yan now and immediately escaping the Dragon Lizard Star could yield a prize.

The deaths of those preceding them served as a warning, teaching them that Shi Yan was not powerless. However, since Shi Yan had only just entered the Immortal Realm, they believed his fangs were limited to those falling asteroids and shattered stars, concluding he could only rely on external forces for maneuvering.

Gradually, true powerhouses began to move stealthily toward Shi Yan, their expressions solemn, their eyes betraying intense covetousness.

“Should we move now?” Yuan Mo of the Water Tribe hesitated before softly requesting instruction.

“No rush,” replied the Masked Woman of the Shadow Race, her eyes deep and mysterious. Separated from Shi Yan by a mountain range ripped apart by explosions, she halted the Water Tribe’s movement and chuckled lightly. “That brat… he won’t be so easy to handle. If he dares to provoke a fight so openly, he must have some reliance. Let’s watch for now.”

As she spoke, her gaze drifted, scanning toward the massive crater shattering beneath them.

She felt a faint, unsettling strangeness, sensing that the Dragon Lizard Ancestor was behaving abnormally, and suspected there might be other developments stirring deep beneath the surface of Dragon Lizard Star.

“Thunderstorm!”

Suddenly, a thunderous roar split the air. An alien tribesman at the Second Heaven of the Immortal Realm launched an attack before Shi Yan, his body erupting with lightning that coiled like frenzied snakes. As these snakes left his divine body, they instantly lengthened, transforming within a single breath into dozens of colossal lightning pythons as thick as barrels. The pythons were vividly lifelike, spitting arcs of electricity and frost.

As the dozens of giant pythons charged forward, they twisted and shifted, contorting into a winding formation array. This array, resembling a dense electrical net mapped by the pythons as its veins, slammed down upon Shi Yan.

“Boom! Boom!”

As the python electric net enveloped him, an earth-shaking explosion erupted again, filled with roaring thunder and violent lightning, threatening to drown Shi Yan within it.

Amidst the explosion of the storm of lightning pythons, Shi Yan frowned. He realized that this tribesman, who had cultivated the power of lightning assiduously, despite also being in the Immortal Realm, possessed true power utterly incomparable to the Primordial Thunder Dragon, Lei Di. The gap was too vast in terms of both Profound Meaning mastery and Divine Power tier.

“Meteorite Stars!”

Unexpectedly, Shi Yan sat down right where he was, looking up at the sky. Starlight glittered within the pupils of his eyes, which seemed to encompass the myriad stars, as if he were the master of the vast stellar sea.

The asteroids and shattered stars suspended above his head appeared to collapse like a river of stars, hurtling downwards.

“Rumble! Rumble!”

The multitude of lightning pythons were struck by meteors larger than mountains and pierced by streaks of falling stars, instantly scattering into wisps of electrical filaments across the sky.

Even the tribesman who had reached the Second Heaven of the Immortal Realm was hit by a backlash of his own lightning. His body roared with current, arcs of electricity shooting out, leaving him scorched black like charcoal, as if roasted by fire.

“Life Magnetic Field!”

Shi Yan grinned sharply and gave another light shout, causing a powerful magnetic field of life force to spread outward from him.

Those who drew near the field felt their hearts beating uncontrollably; their life potential seemed to surge, causing their faces to flush deep red, as if instantly imbued with boundless strength.

However, this power was a forced overdraft of their life essence, and it was not something they could immediately familiarize themselves with or control, causing blood to burst from the skin of many. This was the signature sign of life potential being stimulated too violently for the Divine Body to withstand; if not controlled expertly, they would quickly explode and perish.

“Life Profound Meaning!”

The Masked Woman of the Shadow Race cried out again, her usually soft, melodious voice becoming sharp. Her deep, shadowy eyes shone with startling, novel brilliance, as if she had just discovered a new continent.

“Explode!”

Fixing his gaze on an Immortal First Heaven tribesman, Shi Yan grinned wickedly, simultaneously shooting a scorching look into the man’s interior, like igniting a sea of fire.

That man’s Divine Body inflated like a balloon stretched past its limit, suddenly rupturing. His internal organs were blown apart, spraying gore everywhere.

The scene was extraordinarily bloody and horrifying.

“He’s actually this strong!” On the asteroid within the Spatial Blind Spot, Marsia’s delicate body trembled. Looking at Shi Yan now, she felt a chill that pierced to the bone.

“Thank heavens, thank heavens we were quick-witted enough not to offend this killing god,” Adams muttered with a wry smile, feeling secretly fortunate.

Evelyn remained silent, the skin on her face twitching uncontrollably, her spine turning cold.

The sheer savagery Shi Yan displayed now far surpassed their imaginations. Having broken through to the Immortal Realm, he had achieved a qualitative leap; his terrifying strength was beyond comprehension.

Even Audrey, who knew Shi Yan better than anyone, was horrified to the point of despair. She knew he was strong, but she never imagined he would be this strong—strong enough, immediately after entering the Immortal Realm, to slay someone at the Second Heaven of the Immortal Realm. It was simply inconceivable, violating the established laws of power across the Star Sea.

“The martial artists of the Void Sea Realm, while not weak in rank, are… quite mediocre in actual combat power. They are nowhere near as potent as Xuanhe, Phillet, or Lei Di. Strange…” Shi Yan himself was slightly surprised, harboring secret doubts.

He noticed that while the men he had slain might share the same cultivation rank as Xuanhe or Lei Di, the level of power they exhibited and the sophistication of their Profound Meaning comprehension utterly failed to match Xuanhe, Phillet, and the others; they were inferior by more than a mere margin.

He remained unaware that peak figures from the Barren Domain, such as Xuanhe and Phillet, were originally powerful warlords from the era ten thousand years prior. After inheriting the Profound Meaning of Blood Devouring, their cultivation and strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and after ten millennia of settling and accumulating power, they had all become terrifying entities of immense strength.

The true power of Xuanhe, Phillet, and their peers was absolutely equal to, if not surpassing, those of the same rank among the Seven Great Races of the Void Sea Realm!

Those who fought him were merely members of second- or third-rate races, incapable of comparison with the clansmen of the Seven Great Races—which explained why he found them lacking.
