On the Divine Grace Continent, in the Endless Sea, lay Undying Island. Today, Undying Island had become the place with the densest concentration of heaven and earth energy on the Divine Grace Continent, as well as its most prosperous locale.

Undying Island was controlled by the Shi and Yang families; surrounding it, numerous powerful forces from the Mayar Starfield were scattered across various adjacent islands, all paying homage to Undying Island. In an ordinary valley on the island.

A shimmering portal appeared, and Shi Yan’s figure materialized abruptly. He looked up at the vast sky, closed his eyes, and sensed for a moment, his expression easing slightly.

The Divine Grace Continent was undisturbed. The moment he set foot here, his secondary soul immediately established full contact with the continent.

With a mere shift of consciousness, any minute change on the continent surfaced within his mind, like a series of clear moving pictures—a privilege only the true master possessed. "Oh?" He couldn't help but exclaim as he discovered that Shi Yan, the Blood Demon, Liana, Feilan, Cato, and other martial artists of the Bloodthirsty lineage, had all gathered near the island.

Furthermore, Xia Xinyan, Feng Han, Lin Xin, Gute, Bass, and the others were actually all on the Divine Grace Continent as well. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly unleashed his spiritual consciousness, sending out a summons to those familiar figures.

Shi Yan, the Blood Demon, and the others were all deeply immersed in cultivation when they suddenly looked up. They saw the clouds in the sky condensing, forming the colossal visage of Shi Yan.

Shi Yan appeared like a celestial god floating in the void, transmitting a thought: "Come to the back mountain of Undying Island." Simultaneously, where Xia Xinyan, Feng Han, Gute, and Bass were gathered, the clouds in the sky also coalesced into Shi Yan’s face, issuing the identical summons. In the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range of the Azure Sea region, the gathered members of the Heavenly Demon Clan also received a similar call.

For a moment, every individual on the Divine Grace Continent who had any connection with Shi Yan looked up and saw Shi Yan’s face superimposed upon the heavens. Shi Yan, like a deity summoning his believers, commanded them all to hasten to the back mountain of Undying Island.

Every recipient of the message, regardless of their current activity, immediately set everything aside and moved towards Shi Yan's gathering point at the fastest possible speed. "Whoosh!

Whoosh!" The Divine Lord, Audrey, and the others emerged one by one from the rear portal. Adela was the last to enter, and the glow behind Shi Yan gradually healed.

"Something is wrong!" After setting foot here, the Divine Lord Brian’s expression drastically changed. His eyes gazed into the distance, as if piercing through layers of space: "The connection between the Ancient God Continent and me has been brutally severed!

I cannot sense anything happening on the Ancient God Continent; I cannot feel the aura of the Divine Clan members!" "Me too!" Audrey cried out in alarm. Both she and the Divine Lord had respectively merged with the essence of the Divine Zephyr and the Ancient God Continent.

Logically, as long as they were within the Desolate Domain, no matter how far, they should be able to sense the aura of those two continents. At the level of the Divine Lord Brian, one could even use their consciousness and soul to communicate with their kin on the Ancient God Continent and manifest there directly.

But now, their connection to the source continents was as if it had been violently cut. As the masters of these continents, their inability to sense the subtle fluctuations of their origins left them utterly terrified, unsure of what had transpired.

"Cang Yun is dead!" The Sacred Beast Azure Dragon, after concentrating for a moment, turned ashen-faced. "His portion of the origin must have been seized!

Who could it be?!" "It seems quite a few things have happened in the Desolate Domain. Hmm, strange!" Dicarro reappeared, his divine body flashing momentarily as if traversing space before departing.

Shi Yan had intended to perceive the minute details of the Mayar Starfield, but seeing Dicarro take the initiative to investigate, he decided not to waste his energy and waited for Dicarro's further explanation. A few minutes later.

A white light flashed, and Dicarro reappeared. His expression was incredibly grave, his eyes filled with extreme astonishment.

"What happened?" Reddy roared. "In the current Desolate Domain, countless starfields have merged.

The barriers between many starfields have been shattered, causing them to fuse and concentrate. Now...

only three vast starfields remain. The barriers between these three are immense.

It's as if all the former starfield barriers have been consolidated onto these three final barriers. Even my spatial power finds it exceedingly difficult to penetrate them!" Dicarro said blankly.

"Be more specific!" Shi Yan grunted. In the past, if Shi Yan had dared to be so impolite, Dicarro would have certainly erupted in anger and taught him a lesson.

However, the current Shi Yan was at the Second Heaven of Immortality, possessing strength potentially superior to his own. This prevented Dicarro from daring to slight Shi Yan, and instead of getting angry, he explained earnestly.

"The Mayar Starfield has merged with the Fire Rain Starfield, the Mist Illusion Starfield, the Dead Bone Starfield, the Wudong Starfield, the Motte Starfield, the Heavenly Wolf Starfield, the Black River Starfield, and the Earth Mou Starfield, forming one vast, boundless Great Starfield. Within this starfield, not only is the Divine Grace Continent present, but I can faintly sense the aura of the Desolate Continent.

It seems the Desolate is also within this starfield." Upon hearing this, everyone was utterly aghast. Shi Yan closed his eyes to sense, his consciousness piercing through space, echoing through various nodes.

A completely new stellar map gradually materialized in his sea of consciousness—a colossal starfield formed by multiple former ones, teeming with countless stars, with suns and moons adorning every region, and billions upon billions of martial artists inhabiting numerous life-bearing stars. The forces of the Mayar Starfield—the Flowing Fire, the Gu God Sect, the Bai family, the Wu family, the Jiao family, and others—were spread across many regions of this Great Starfield.

Those martial artists were training, seemingly preparing for a great war that might erupt at any moment. "Indeed, many starfields have merged," Shi Yan said, amazed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Figures finally arrived from the distance, led by Shi Yan, the Blood Demon, and the others.

Upon seeing Shi Yan, they were all overcome with emotion. Shi Yan’s eyes moistened, and his voice cracked, "You rascal, you’re actually still alive..." Xia Xinyan, Fu Wei, and the others, as well as Lin Xin, Gute, Bass, and the rest, also converged toward the spot.

Shi Yan was equally excited, many words stuck in his throat, unsure of what to say first. "What happened?" Ming Hao looked at the approaching Shi Yan and the Blood Demon, his face sinister.

"Why weren't you in the Forbidden Blood Sea?" "We fled back from there. In the future...

I fear none of us will enter it again," the Blood Demon replied with a bitter smile. Today, the Blood Demon had also entered the Immortal Realm, his life aura extremely strong.

He glanced at Xuan He, shook his head, and said, "I’m afraid even you all won't be able to enter the Forbidden Blood Sea anymore." At these words, Ming Hao, Xuan He, and Phileth, the three leaders of the Bloodthirsty lineage, all activated their profound meanings, channeling the power within their imprints. After a while, the expressions of the three changed, their looks turning grim.

Just as the Blood Demon had said, they too had lost contact with the Forbidden Blood Sea, losing resonance with the sacred land of the Bloodthirsty lineage. "Try it yourself?" They looked toward Shi Yan.

Shi Yan attempted to use his original method to circulate the imprint power, trying to communicate with the vortex of the Forbidden Blood Sea, but found no response at all. He too was shocked: "What has happened?" "A century ago, Navideson suddenly entered the sacred Blood Sea.

He became immensely powerful and took control of the entire Blood Sea. He claimed to be the true inheritor of the Bloodthirsty path.

He mastered the Eight Great Evil Forces and the Devouring Profound Meaning. He declared that Shi Yan and the three leaders had perished, and he was the new Sovereign Lord.

When we realized the danger, many fought him, but were brutally defeated and absorbed. Those who refused to submit died by his hand.

We could only flee," the Blood Demon explained. "Navideson!" The Divine Lord, Ming Hao, Xuan He, and the others shrieked simultaneously, "Wasn't he already dead?" Navideson was a hybrid of the Divine Clan and the Barbarian Clan.

As a child, he mistakenly consumed corrupted Bloodthirsty remains, achieving a terrifying transformation and possessing the terrifying Corrosion Profound Meaning. During the battle with Hui, the Divine Lord, Ming Hao, and others used him, implanting the Bloodthirsty remains within his body to force his Corrosion Profound Meaning to its ultimate operation, wounding even Hui.

This allowed Shi Yan to seize the opportunity to perceive the energy and complete the metamorphosis of his life form. At that time, Navideson burned his soul power; when his strength was exhausted, he had perished and vanished.

How could he have revived? "...Mastering the Eight Great Evil Forces and the Devouring Profound Meaning, he is not Navideson; he is a Ring Spirit!

He is the extraterrestrial soul summoned by Xuan Shan on the Ancient God Continent—some young master of the Devouring Race, a subsequent gambit by Shi. After Hui broke his seal, he escaped, likely finding Navideson's corpse.

Navideson’s soul was extinguished then, and his body was filled with the aura of the Bloodthirsty remains, which he occupied," Shi Yan mused for a moment. "I fought several Devouring Race members in the Sea of Destruction and know that one of their young masters seemed to be activating some plan, forcing his way into our Desolate Domain.

He... must be Shi's contingency." The members of the Devouring Race knew the Eight Great Evil Forces, and the Blood Pattern Ring of Xuan Shan also contained the inheritance of the Devouring Profound Meaning.

That person entered the Ring Spirit, devoured the original Ring Spirit, acquired the inheritance, and had been subtly manipulating Shi Yan, hoping to seize Shi Yan's divine body, engaging in many stratagems along the way. He was ultimately sealed by Ming Hao within the Blood Pattern Ring.

During the fight with Hui, Hui’s power helped shatter the seal, and that fellow escaped along with the Blood Pattern Ring. He seized Navideson's body and finally manifested in the Desolate Domain as a being with actual flesh, blood, and soul.

"So it was him," Ming Hao and Xuan He said grimly. "What is the situation with the Bloodthirsty lineage now?" "He became the new Sovereign Lord of the Bloodthirsty lineage.

Except for the few of us who escaped, all eight original branches of the Bloodthirsty lineage have submitted to him. He is terrifying; his strength improves daily.

Now, under his command, the Dark Abyss envelops the Ancient Demon Continent, and this Dark Abyss seems to possess a living consciousness, as if it is gradually consuming the Ancient Demon Continent," the Blood Demon explained. "The members of the Underworld Emperor Clan and the Undying Demon Clan have all submitted to him.

The starfields of the Underworld Emperor Clan and the Undying Demon Clan, along with many other smaller starfields, have all merged to become his domain." "The Dark Abyss has a living consciousness?" Ming Hao was shaken violently and couldn't help but shriek, "It has been awakened!" "Who?" Many people were unclear on the details, with figures like Lin Xin looking utterly bewildered and asking questions. "Shi has awakened!

He was awakened by the being possessing Navideson's body!" Ming Hao roared. "The Ancient Demon Continent was originally part of the Desolate.

The current gradual consumption of the Ancient Demon Continent by the Dark Abyss means Shi is attempting to refine a clone of the Desolate!" (Monday, requesting monthly passes and recommendation votes, deepest gratitude in advance!! (To be continued) RQ)
