Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

The conflict that erupted at the Xiaoshanhe Institute quickly spread throughout the Southern Continent.

Led by several Sacred Venerate Realm experts, the group headed by Fang Qingzhu was rushing to the foreign battlefield, where the Mother Buddha was stationed. Meanwhile, Little Lin was also asleep there.

The foreign battlefield contained broken fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

The Mother Buddha was leading people to hunt these fragments to speed up Little Lin's recovery.

Inside the Azure Dragon Fortress.

Fang Qingzhu and the others, after a long journey, chose this place as the new base of the Azure Sky Alliance.

As for the group that remained at the Xiaoshanhe Institute, after driving away Fang Qingzhu and the others, they changed their name to the Sky-reaching Alliance.

This was to distinguish their relationship with the Azure Sky Alliance.

Fearing retaliation from the Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm.

The ancestor of Tongtian served as the Alliance Hierarch of the Sky-reaching Alliance, with Zi Feng as the Vice Alliance Hierarch.

Although their strength had greatly diminished, having lost most of their power when Fang Qingzhu left, they managed to form a collaboration with the Sun and Moon Palace and the Mysterious Realm.

The content of this collaboration is unknown to outsiders.

But Fang Qingzhu was certain of one key point: when the leader of the Martial Clan awakes, their first target will undoubtedly be the Azure Sky Alliance.

After all.

If Xiao Yi had not appeared in the Mysterious Realm back then and thwarted the Martial Clan's plans.

The Mysterious Realm would now be truly unified under the ancient eight clans, significantly stronger than they are today. What Xiao Yi did was akin to cutting off their roots.

Moreover…

Experts like Fang Tianmiu, Fang Tianchi, and others from the Heavenly Machine Clan are still with the Azure Sky Alliance.

In short.

The Mysterious Realm will never let the Azure Sky Alliance off easily.

The atmosphere within the entire Azure Dragon Fortress became extremely tense.

Meanwhile.

In the Sun and Moon Palace.

In that deep, bottomless well, there were faint silhouettes struggling against their chains, trying to break free from the seal and reappear in the world.

Also, the Xuan Realm Martial Clan.

In the forbidden land of the Martial Clan.

Inside a towering peak, a series of thunderous noises suddenly resonated.

At times, the sound was as loud as a roaring tiger and a singing dragon; at other times, it was low like the beating of a morning bell or an evening drum.

Echoing through the nine skies.

Resonating constantly.

At this moment, the experts of the ancient eight clans knelt uniformly before the peak, their faces expressing devoutness and reverence as they worshipped the high peak.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A sudden strong wind arose between heaven and earth, a hurricane, a violent storm...

Dark clouds loomed overhead.

Amidst those clouds, there was the rumble of thunder, producing a series of earth-shattering booms. The menacing aura of destructive energy filled the space between heaven and earth, pushing the atmosphere to its limit.

Even powerful experts of the Sacred Venerate Realm felt as if someone was strangling their throats, making it hard to breathe.

Suddenly.

A colossal thunderbolt descended from the sky.

It struck the mountain body with a resounding crash.

Boom!

The entire mountain body exploded, and a golden coffin flew out from within, slowly ascending into the sky amidst the apocalyptic storm of wind and thunder.

Rumble!

A lightning bolt fell from the celestial dome, striking the coffin fiercely.

The coffin suddenly turned transparent.

Hazily.

Inside the sacred golden coffin, a shadow slowly opened its eyes...

......

In the infinite void.

This chaotic void is vast and endless, beyond the concepts of time and space.

It may seem to be right in front of you, but when you try to reach it, you might find the seemingly close place is incredibly distant, impossible to reach regardless of how much you accelerate.

This is the first characteristic of the chaotic void, spatial folding.

And the second characteristic…

Is that within the chaotic void, it's utterly impossible to distinguish direction.

So.

Without precise coordinates, even a King-level expert entering here would fall into darkness and find it impossible to escape.

"Fortunately, the Pavilion Master has already opened most of the interdimensional passageway for me. If I relied solely on my abilities, who knows how much time it would take to open a passage to the Qingtian Realm?" Xiao Yi said while blasting the chaotic void in front of him, carving a deeper and longer interdimensional passage.

The Heavenly Tao Pavilion Master did not directly open the passage.

Claiming he wanted Xiao Yi to experience this feeling of opening an interdimensional passage.

In truth, it was because the Heavenly Tao Pavilion Master's power was too terrifying, and since he wasn't from the Qingtian Realm, his arrival there would trigger suppression from the realm's Heavenly Dao.

After all.

He had exceeded the limit of what the Qingtian Realm's Heavenly Dao could endure.

Should he open the passage to the Qingtian Realm, the moment his aura leaked, the Heavenly Dao of the Qingtian Realm would likely unleash an apocalyptic tribulation. Even with the formidable strength of the Heavenly Tao Pavilion Master, it would be impossible to single-handedly withstand the Heavenly Dao of an entire realm!

"It should be soon; in another half month, I should be able to break through the final two-dimensional barriers..."

Xiao Yi continued to carve the interdimensional passage ahead.

Thankfully, he had the Qingping Sword in hand.

Otherwise, if relying on his bare hands, the timeline might be pushed back by another month.

The barriers linking the two realms are incredibly strong.

Back in the day, it took Shang Duxing and tens of thousands of powerful experts, including himself, who was a Holy King, more than half a month to dig through the final two-dimensional barriers!

Suddenly...

As Xiao Yi was digging through the dimensional barriers, his actions abruptly paused, a flash of insight passing through his eyes. He turned around swiftly to look behind him.

Behind him lay empty space.

No sign of any presence.

"Could it be a false perception?"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

At that moment, he had sensed something silently approaching from behind, but now it appeared calm, showing no signs of any living entity.

Crunch! Crunch!

A piercing chewing sound suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Yi's hairs stood on end.

This was the dimensional barrier!

How could there be chewing sounds?

What kind of existence was this?

Chewing on something in the void?

Xiao Yi turned around cautiously, his pupils dilating rapidly. Before him, on the dimensional barrier, a peculiar creature with mouse-like features, shimmering with a silver light, with a body translucent like crystal, was gnawing on the barrier's crystal stone.

Though its size was no more than that of a newborn baby.

Its speed in devouring the barrier's crystal stone wasn't slow at all!

The continuous crunching sounds kept resonating.

This not only made Xiao Yi's scalp tingle but also filled him with excitement: "A Food Realm Beast? That's one of the Longevity Hall's nine great Longevity Beasts from ancient times, and I've encountered it here?"

A Food Realm Beast.

Capable of devouring spatial barriers and formation barriers.

Ascending to the heavens, breaking through the earth, it's omnipotent.

No place in the world can contain it!

In the Ancient Times…

The Hall of Longevity possessed a Food Realm Beast, known as one of the nine Longevity Beasts, on par with creatures like the Kunpeng!

Xiao Yi never expected to encounter it here.

This would be an ideal companion for treasure hunting and tomb exploring!

More importantly, the Food Realm Beast can devour spatial barriers, making it a Divine Artifact for opening interdimensional passages!

If he could master such a divine beast, opening interdimensional passages to visit other worlds would be much easier. He could come and go unnoticed as he wished!

"I must capture it!"

Xiao Yi clenched his fists, determination shining in his eyes...
