While Ye Jingyu and the others were locked in a fierce battle with Fang Jiuyou, tens of thousands of miles to the east of the Dou Hun Continent, lay another vast landmass, shrouded in mist and protected by layers of formidable barriers—a place even a Martial Venerable master might struggle to locate…
This continent was smaller than the Dou Hun Continent, occupying only one-third of its size, shaped remarkably like a proud rooster. Far from being barren, this land was teeming with people and dotted with peculiar structures…
What made them strange was that most buildings were neither constructed of stone nor wood, but forged entirely from metal…
To speak only of the seaport city on the continent’s western edge, every structure was metallic, with the tallest tower soaring over a thousand meters. Under the sunlight, these metal edifices didn't emit a blinding glare; instead, the light was remarkably soft. One wondered what kind of metal possessed the ability to completely absorb solar energy…
Women of various attires navigated this city—some wore Tang suits, others qipaos, some Hanfu, and still others sported T-shirts and jeans. If Ye Jingyu were present, he would surely suspect a distortion of time and space. Yet, regardless of their clothing, the inhabitants shared black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin…
Naturally, there were no cars, trains, or airplanes for transportation here. However, everyone moved with astonishing speed. A boy, perhaps seven or eight, clad in a black warrior suit, sprinted through the city of metal structures, his pace rivaling that of a Ferrari sports car…
Only afterimages flickered in the air…
Similarly, a long-haired woman in a white qipao suddenly launched herself into the air, soaring directly toward a towering structure, her body drifting gracefully yet moving with incredible velocity. If it hadn't been broad daylight, one might have mistaken her for a phantom…
Of course, some individuals with apparent status possessed their own means of conveyance. A beautiful young man, dressed in an ornate gauze skirt, reclined in a glittering golden carriage pulled not by ordinary horses, but by two massive, rhinoceros-like mechanical beasts…
Judging by the light flickering in their eyes, these were conscious mechanical beasts. Moreover, the carriage could not only race across the ground at incredible speeds but could also fly into the air, matching the speed of a typical jet aircraft…
This city was named Fang Tian City, the domain of the Fang Family, one of the Nine Great Families of the Ya Alliance…
The Ya Alliance was the foremost and only governmental body on this landmass, known as the Ancient Huah Continent. Beneath the Alliance resided the Nine Great Families: the Fang Family, the Lin Family, the Zhan Family, the Feng Family, the Hua Family, the Xue Family, the Yue Family, the Jun Family, and the most enigmatic, the Xue Family (Blood Family)…
These nine families not only controlled the entirety of the Ancient Huah Continent but also secretly manipulated the dynamics of the Dou Hun Continent. The Yuan Ling Cult was merely a puppet organization they fostered from the shadows…
The tallest tower in the very center of Fang Tian City, reaching thousands of zhang high, belonged exclusively to the Fang Family. Only direct descendants were permitted entry…
Within the tower, a circular hall housed a massive round table crafted entirely from white jade. Surrounding the table were nine chairs carved from thousand-year-old Cold Jade. All other decorations in the hall were also made of this same cold jade, rendering the entire space unnaturally frigid, as if the very air threatened to freeze…
In stark contrast to the somewhat hot weather outside, this place felt like an ice cellar…
Currently, eight men, appearing to be in their late twenties or early thirties, occupied the exquisite chairs made of Cold Jade. Despite the intense cold, they seemed to be enjoying the environment…
Only the foremost seat remained empty, yet these eight showed no signs of impatience. Each had their eyes closed, quietly savoring the chill pervading the hall…
Should a master have been present, they would have observed that the bodies of the eight were rapidly absorbing the inherent coldness within the Cold Jade. However, the jade seemed to possess an inexhaustible power; no matter how much they drew from it, its energy remained bountiful…
Just then, at the front of the hall, a Five Elements Formation suddenly began to emit streaks of white light. Following this, a figure emerged from the brilliance…
“Patriarch…” The eight men, who had been resting with their eyes closed, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the man…
“Everyone, please be seated. I have just returned from Yan Huang Island and have matters to discuss with you all…” This man was none other than the Cult Master mentioned by Yuan Tian—Fang Jiuyou’s father, the Fang Family Patriarch, Fang Zhentian…
The Yan Huang Island he spoke of was situated between the Ancient Huah Continent and the Dou Hun Continent, serving as the headquarters for the Yuan Ling Cult…
Regardless of their inner thoughts, every person present maintained an expression of deep respect, settling back into their seats with an air of eager attention…
Seeing their demeanor, Fang Zhentian nodded with satisfaction…
“Gentlemen, what do you suppose I discovered on my trip to Yan Huang Island?” Observing their reverent posture, Fang Zhentian unexpectedly posed a question…
“Hehe, could it be that the Patriarch has found a peerless beauty?” A man seated to Fang Zhentian’s left spoke with a chuckle…
“Hehe, Zhennan, I am not as obsessed with women as you are. But if you still require beauties, shall I immediately order Yuantian and the others to procure a thousand more for you? Just don’t come hiding at my house when your wife disciplines you…” It seemed Fang Zhentian and Fang Zhennan shared a very close relationship, as the Patriarch did not take offense and laughed along…
“Hahahaha…” Following Fang Zhentian’s teasing, everyone present burst into laughter. Fang Zhennan, the second-in-command of the Fang Family, possessed profound strength and capability, yet he was a textbook henpecked husband…
“Hehe, Patriarch, please tell us. What did you discover on this trip?” Hearing the laughter, Fang Zhennan remained unconcerned and pressed the matter…
“Those aboriginals… one of them has manifested a Starlight Physique…” As the attention of the group returned to him, Fang Zhentian stated calmly…
“What? A Starlight Physique?” Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present shifted dramatically. They stared intently at Fang Zhentian, as if trying to confirm the truth of the matter…
“Indeed, the Starlight Physique…” Following this, Fang Zhentian recounted everything he had sensed on Yan Huang Island and the arrangements he had made…
After listening to Fang Zhentian’s words, excitement surfaced on everyone’s faces. For years, they had successfully researched the Five Elements Spirit Body, the Dark Demon Body, and the Undying Battle Body, but they had never managed to research a Starlight Physique. Now, this legendary strongest supreme body had appeared! How could they not be shocked and thrilled? Of course, if they knew Ye Jingyu possessed the Chaos Body capable of absorbing all things, rather than a mere Starlight Physique, their reaction would be something else entirely…
“ Kacha…” With a crisp sound, as the group began to discuss how to accelerate the growth of this Starlight Physique, a distinct cracking noise echoed through the hall. They watched as a blue ring in Fang Zhentian’s hand shattered completely, and his face contorted sharply…
“Xiao You… he… he… died?” Fang Zhentian’s eyes were filled with shock, grief, and fury…
