"This fiend is the one we seek? Are you certain there's no mistake?" "Immortal Second Heaven!

He's only at Immortal Second Heaven! How is this possible?

Qimo is at the Immortal Apex!" "Heavens! We were too presumptuous.

Had we known this fellow was so ferocious, we shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter... Many began to regret.

The warriors from the Sea of Annihilation remained, partly to use the Domain Ancestor War to crack the mysteries of Dark Energy, but more so to capture Shi Yan and seize the Rhyme Obscurity Pagoda. Yet now, the target they waited for so long has boldly returned, displaying unimaginable, terrifying means upon arrival—slaughtering Qimo of the Devourer Race and his subordinates, suppressing the ferocious soul of Napton with the Devouring Rhyme, and awakening the Sea Shark Emperor with the power of the Constellation.

He has almost single-handedly reversed the situation! 'Ursa Minor Constellation, Roar of the Savage Bear!' Shi Yan, covered in bloody gashes, grinned savagely, licking a trace of blood from his lips.

The silver giant bear condensed from the stars let out a mighty roar toward the sky, like a savage bear whose ferocity had been utterly incited. The stars forming its body collided, accompanied by earth-shattering rumbles and massive meteorites raining down.

At this moment, the silver giant bear seemed to shatter and crumble! The torrent of meteorites crashed down, each one as large as a mountain or an island, immense and heavy, carrying the bear's fury.

'Crack! Crack!

Splurt!' Those struck by the meteorites had their Divine Bodies instantly pulverized. Some protective light shields shattered like eggshells upon contact.

Many at the Immortal Realm spat blood, their appearance even more tragic than Shi Yan’s at this moment. 'Why are you attacking us?' 'You're insane!' 'We weren't fighting you, are you out of your mind!' Those people shrieked miserably, accusing Shi Yan and sounding thoroughly indignant.

'Heh heh, you all traveled thousands of miles down from the sea, weren't you looking for me?' Shi Yan sneered, 'Since you dared to come, you should have been prepared to endure my wrath! Do you think I’m easy pickings when I’m alone?

Do you think my low realm means you can treat me as you please? You are far too naive!' Meteorites continued to fall, pulverizing the Divine Bodies of dozens more, forcing their Soul Altars to emerge.

Every time a Soul Altar surfaced, Shi Yan immediately activated the Devouring Rhyme, drowning those altars. The seabed of the Sea of Annihilation had become a living hell.

All warriors from various races who dared to remain and observe the battle were targeted by Shi Yan, battered and crushed by the meteorites. Many gradually realized something was wrong.

They fought desperately to prevent their Divine Bodies from shattering. Even if their Soul Altars were heavily damaged, they clung to the preservation of their Divine Bodies, knowing that only with an intact Divine Body could the Soul Altar avoid being swallowed by the Devouring Rhyme.

'Shi Yan! You're attacking us too?' 'You truly are mad!' 'Bastard, I even gave you an Immortal Pill before!' Tu Shiqi, Ya Yun, and the Old Ancestor of the Lizardkin were simultaneously bombarded by three meteorites hundreds of meters high.

The three worked together to barely withstand the impact, but their expressions turned extremely grim. They hurled curses at Shi Yan, accusing him of ingratitude and mercilessness.

Shi Yan’s gaze fell upon them, and he frowned, stating coldly, 'What do you know of ingratitude? If you did, you wouldn't have descended into the Sea of Annihilation!

Back on Lizardkin Star, without my help, you Lizardkin would have been finished by Singh. Old Monster Napton’s Soul Refining Cauldron could have swallowed your souls and flesh piece by piece!

And you! Tu Shiqi!

Without me using Space Rhyme to unlock it, could you have escaped that spatial lock? Without me blocking Mei Ji for you, she would have killed you and Ya Yun on Lizardkin Star!' 'Just because I killed Ling Mei, a woman from your Profound Heaven Race, you all hound me relentlessly to give Old Ancestor Heaven Shaker an explanation?

When I was heavily injured, Ling Mei attacked Mei Ji's soul magnetic field nearly causing a collapse, aiming to utterly destroy me—where were you then? I didn't see any of you seeking justice for me either?' Shi Yan’s expression darkened, 'Just because Ling Mei is Heaven Shaker’s granddaughter, a member of your Profound Heaven Race, and because I refused to become your esteemed guest, you decide to move against me?' After a pause, Shi Yan roared sharply, 'By what right?' By what right?!

'Boom!' Another meteorite slammed down from the sky, impacting the meteorite hovering above Tu Shiqi, Ya Yun, and the Old Ancestor of the Lizardkin. The two meteorites combined, and the impact force suddenly surged.

'Smash! Smash!

Smash!' The Divine Bodies of Tu Shiqi and Ya Yun suddenly exploded, splashing blood everywhere. Although the Old Ancestor of the Lizardkin was merely an avatar, as a descendant of the 'Lizard,' his avatars were extremely resilient.

He managed to hold on, but he was trembling, and flames and magma spewed from his pupils. He was filled with shock and terror.

It had only been about ten years; back on Lizardkin Star, he was only at the Initial God Realm, relying on an Immortal Pill from Shi Yan to reach the Immortal Realm. Now, Shi Yan possessed such terrifying power.

With Shi Yan's dreadful growth rate, the Profound Heaven Race might not be able to control him in the future. The Old Ancestor of the Lizardkin felt a pang of regret for agreeing with Tu Shiqi and Ya Yun to search for Shi Yan underwater.

Although he had been extremely sentimental and maintained a protective stance toward Shi Yan, giving Tu Shiqi and Ya Yun reasons to give Shi Yan chances, the moment he descended into the depths, regardless of his own intentions, he had placed himself on the opposing side of Shi Yan. 'Old man, you were right back then.

This kid’s potential is truly limitless. We were all wrong,' Ya Yun said bitterly, blood from her mouth flowing down her chest.

'I was wrong too. I underestimated his potential.

If... if I had known he could reach this level so quickly, we should have abandoned Ling Mei back then!

Alas...' Tu Shiqi sighed deeply. 'Do we keep watching?' Elsewhere, Ferrel asked Ricardo with a grim expression.

Ricardo looked up, his expression stunned and astonished as he watched Shi Yan wreak havoc everywhere without intervening. Hearing Ferrel’s question, Ricardo smiled faintly and said, 'If you want to make a move, do it yourself.

That kid is powerful, but killing him is simple for you. Why aren't you moving?' 'If the Sea Shark Emperor wasn't watching me, I would have moved long ago!' Ferrel cursed angrily.

Beside Ferrel, the Sea Shark Emperor’s expression was icy, his eyes locked onto Ferrel. He knew that the moment he made any move, the Sea Shark Emperor’s ferocious attacks would come crashing down without restraint.

He dared not be certain that Ricardo, standing with him, would help deal with the Sea Shark Emperor behind them, which caused his hesitation. ...As for Napton, he became the most miserable because his ferocious soul was subtly restrained by the Devouring Rhyme.

Despite possessing the power of a Domain Ancestor, his strongest asset—his ferocious soul—was completely suppressed, leaving him restricted at every turn. At this moment, he was attempting to soothe his ferocious soul, gathering the various souls together, his face dark as he seemed to contemplate whether to unleash some kind of technique.

The non-intervention of Ricardo, Ferrel, and Napton meant that no Domain Ancestor stepped forward to stop Shi Yan. Qimo and the Devourer Race members, already powerless against the Devouring Rhyme, were seized upon by Shi Yan for further slaughter, shocking everyone present.

The power of the Constellation could be mobilized, raining down blows effortlessly, precisely because those present were stunned by Qimo’s death. Qimo, who was at the Immortal Apex, died at the hands of Shi Yan, who was only at the Immortal Second Heaven, and died so miserably—this cast a shadow over their hearts.

Only a few individuals, like Ming Hao and the God Lord, knew that Shi Yan’s ability to kill Qimo was entirely due to the Devouring Rhyme's counter to the Chaos Rhyme! They understood clearly that if the opponent Shi Yan faced head-on had been another warrior at Immortal Third Heaven, even if Shi Yan won, he would have paid a devastating price!

They all knew this, but none would speak of it. This allowed Shi Yan’s imposing prestige to envelop the seabed, making everyone anxious for their own safety.

This, in turn, allowed Shi Yan to fully unfold the power of the Constellation to test the intricacies of the Star Rhyme he had newly comprehended. The situation was gradually becoming bizarre.

The experts who arrived from various areas, both seabed and surface, were originally meant to cooperate with Ricardo, Napton, and Ferrel to hunt down Shi Yan. However, due to the silence of the three Domain Ancestors, Shi Yan was instead running rampant, crushing the Divine Bodies of the newcomers and swallowing their Altars.

The seabed became bloody and terrifying. The meteorites formed from the shattering of the silver giant bear seemed to possess life; after crushing one person, they would slowly ascend and then charge down again.

Everyone could see that if Shi Yan was allowed to continue acting so recklessly, the situation would become uncontrollable. Napton, who had hesitated for a long time, finally raised his head and looked at Shi Yan.

'If it weren't for the Devouring Rhyme, killing you would be as easy as turning my hand. Forget you've reached Immortal Second Heaven; even Immortal Apex would make no difference to me.

The gap between the Immortal Realm and a Domain Ancestor... you will see.' As he spoke, the Primal Artifact manifested!

The Soul Refining Cauldron emerged above Napton’s head. With the cauldron appearing, Napton’s ferocious soul immediately sank inside.

This tripod rotated, covered in countless Primal Runes wriggling like serpents, emitting an aura that pierced the soul. Misty soul-ghost mist billowed from the cauldron’s surface.

The cauldron settled amidst the storm of meteorites. Cries of anguish erupted from within the massive cauldron!

As the weeping began, tens of millions of vengeful souls and fierce ghosts rushed out. Stabilized and amplified by the Soul Refining Cauldron, these ferocious souls were completely unafraid of the Devouring Rhyme.

They flew out, wrapping around countless meteorites, binding them tightly together. In just tens of seconds, the silver giant bear reformed!

This time, it did not reform on its own; it was forcibly dragged and glued back together by the fierce ghosts! At a glance, the silver giant bear was enveloped by countless ghostly figures, and then the three-legged cauldron crashed down.

Waves of soul fluctuations erupted from within, causing the silver giant bear to let out pained, piercing roars. The star spirits within the stars seemed to be refined, crying out in terror, seeking Shi Yan’s help.

'Go!' One ferocious soul shot out—a beast like a lion-tiger, a hundred meters tall—and tore out with a gigantic, ferocious paw. 'Tear!

Tear!' Shi Yan’s already heavily injured Divine Body was ripped further, exposing bloody flesh and visible internal organs. Napton coughed violently, looking at the Soul Refining Cauldron with a complex, unreadable expression.

It seemed that activating the Primal Artifact was causing him considerable strain and discomfort. This cauldron...

had not been fully repaired, meaning he had not completely refined it. Forcing the profound mysteries of the Primal Artifact to function would result in a backlash against him.

Because of the Devouring Rhyme’s subtle restraint on ferocious souls, he had to accept the price of the Soul Refining Cauldron's backlash just to launch a killing blow against Shi Yan. 'Ricardo, Ferrel, block the Sea Shark Emperor for a moment so I can kill this brat first,' Napton commanded sharply after pausing his coughing fit.

'No problem!' Ferrel readily agreed. Ricardo looked up at Shi Yan, then glanced at the Sea Shark Emperor, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

'I will watch the Sea Shark Emperor and prevent him from causing you trouble... Monthly tickets, monthly tickets, monthly tickets~~~ (To be continued) RQ
