Chapter 1006 - 941: More Visitors?

Because of the sheer number of Dharma Aspect monsters, Sect Leader Piaomiao wouldn’t have called for help otherwise.

When Han Yu arrived, fifteen massive mechanism Dharma Aspects from the Central Continent had already been deployed. Initially, there could have been more, but resources were needed elsewhere, limiting their numbers.

Apart from the old Daoist family rushing back to assist in the Endless Sea Domain, all available Divine Dao Realm cultivators had come.

Even Soul Returning and Shi Xiu were among those battling fiercely.

"Han Yu, this should be a big catch."

From within one of the mechanism Dharma Aspects, Xia Wuyou’s voice came through.

Getting in touch with Han Yu was naturally out of fear that the prey might escape.

The Artifact Spirit was already sharpening its weapons, and Han Yu was equally eager to strike.

In an instant, ancient trees formed a forest, casting shadows in the void.

The forces from the Central Continent began a gradual retreat, spreading out to guard all directions to prevent any escape.

When one of the Dharma Aspects shattered with a wail, the first light appeared.

The Artifact Spirit swiftly returned to the Sea of Consciousness with a bowl, and Han Yu charged into the cage, one person responsible for killing, one spirit for collecting.

Within moments, fifty Dharma Aspects exploded, revealing twenty rules.

This number was already substantial given the current situation.

Especially for Han Yu, who had only gathered a few rules after several days, this was quite a fortune.

The Artifact Spirit hopped back to the Sea of Consciousness with the jade bowl, and the twenty rules transformed into seeds, merging into the Five Elements world, making it even more tangible.

The spiritual Qi within became increasingly dense.

The Artifact Spirit, after sensing it, couldn’t help but joke, "If this continues, you might be able to accommodate people here."

It’s indeed possible, as more rules accumulate, the Five Elements world becomes more real, and such a scenario might not seem so odd.

"If this keeps up, it seems our chances of winning are rather good!"

The Artifact Spirit’s small face was excited; whether it was the faceless beings or Dharma Aspect monsters, their advantages were gradually dwindling.

Conversely, the Central Continent was steadily expanding.

And with the addition of those two rebellious groups, the advantage became even more apparent.

The rules didn’t seem so hard to snatch; it was just a matter of extended time, and everyone faced the same challenge.

As for time, that’s the only thing they lacked, and their goal was to delay.

So, everything seemed to favor the Central Continent.

In this light, what the Artifact Spirit said wasn’t without reason!

The winning odds seemed to be tilting.

However, just as everyone was filled with joy, the world suddenly darkened.

The disturbance came from the west.

This commotion arrived swiftly and disappeared just as quickly.

The same phenomenon seemed to have occurred in the Endless Sea Domain.

Near an offshore stone platform, Quan Xiaotong and his group suddenly looked up. The void above them was dark for several breaths before vanishing.

"He acted."

The old Daoist’s face turned extremely grim, although it was just a brief moment, such a momentum could only be produced by Him and no one else.

In the Central Continent, Han Yu also looked grim, speaking brusquely to the Artifact Spirit.

"Your crow’s mouth is even more accurate than the old Daoist’s."

Just after bragging about their significant advantage, a move was made.

The two rebellious groups were gone, meaning it must have been the Yama Hall’s doing, making the next move.

But what was this move targeting?

...

"Here they come!"

Yin Wraith and Wuxian, among others, were also in the Central Continent, and the changes in the Western Territory camp were evident to them.

Yin Wraith’s face turned ashen with an underlying terror.

His first thought was whether his own master had discovered his betrayal.

If so, were these sent to target him and his group?

"Not necessarily, this must be His next step."

Wuxian spoke quietly, harboring countless thoughts. He also wondered if the overseas side had executed their next move.

If they did, whom would they target this time?

He didn’t believe it was aimed at them, for one simple reason: he believed that the few remaining individuals like himself were not significant enough for that being to act.

However laughable, Wuxian was quite certain that he and his people held no weight in that one’s eyes.

If not aimed at them, it could only target the Heavenly Dao, or possibly Han Yu, or ultimately, the Central Continent.

"What should we do?"

Yin Wraith’s face was fluctuating, worried that their two factions’ betrayal might get exposed prematurely.

"Let’s wait and see; we can’t turn back, nor should we."

Wuxian’s voice was cold. Though the Central Continent, or Han Yu specifically, posed difficulties, negotiations were still an option.

But those two were truly bent on world destruction.

If the world was to end, naturally, they couldn’t leave survivors like them.

Faced with life and death, they had no other choice.

...

In the Western Territory camp, ten black figures continually coalesced above the millstone, descending fiercely amid the turmoil of wind and clouds straight into the camp.

The eerie aura spread everywhere, and simultaneously, all ten figures raised their heads, their faces still featureless.

Faceless beings!

Still faceless beings.

However, the aura of these ten figures was terrifyingly strong, even surpassing that of Yin Wraith.

So much so that the ordinary faceless beings returning to the camp couldn’t help but tremble in their presence.

After scanning the surroundings, the blank faces began to twist.

"It’s too quiet here."

One figure’s voice was cold.

"Didn’t see those guys."

"Not a single person in sight."

The ten faceless beings could speak, and quite coherently.

At this moment, another upheaval occurred within the millstone, as if some method was stirring everything.

Suddenly, an image was formed.

Once completed, it appeared strikingly like Han Yu’s face, with a voice that shook the heavens.

"Yan, kill him."

All ten figures kneeled to answer.

Only after the image vanished did they slowly stand.

The leading faceless being gestured to the surrounding faceless, waiting for them to gathering, then his gaze settled on one, attacking abruptly.

Almost instantaneously, the faceless being flowed into it like water.

Meanwhile, the other nine did the same.

Having done all this, Yan Yi spoke.

"First kill him, then clear all obstacles."

...

Overseas.

Several figures also descended upon the Celestial River.

Or rather, they appeared as normal-looking cultivators, yet surrounded by flowing colors, faintly radiating a golden glow.

Similar to the once Golden Cicada.

The momentum of these five cultivators was equally terrifying, their expressions icy, warding others away.

Dharma Aspect monsters approached, and after a glance, the cultivators retained five of them, casually manipulating their fingers to shatter the monsters, revealing rule seeds.

Under the force’s guidance, each rule seed was absorbed into their bodies.

After these actions, the five cultivators wordlessly took off towards the Central Continent like a shooting star.

In the Endless Sea Domain.

The old Daoist’s face grew even more ashen.

"Perhaps we were too optimistic; how could He have just one trick?"

Mu Zili’s prior request to set surveillance mechanisms in key overseas locations finally proved useful.

Although they couldn’t discern the arrivals’ power remotely, they certainly couldn’t be mere contingency measures.

"What are these cultivators? Dharma Aspects? Or normal cultivators?"

Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but ask.

The old Daoist shook his head; he was the first to leave the upper echelon, and aside from Di Liuxin, the other four fools didn’t even know about Dharma Aspect monsters.

Let alone this maneuver.

"Whatever they are, to be released now, they must be immensely strong."

If not strong, why release them at such a critical moment?

Quan Xiaotong remained silent, feeling an intuitive sense that these individuals were likely drawn by the scent of bloodshed.

What can five ordinary cultivators do?

Nothing.

What can five terrifying powerhouses do?

They could likely stir a storm of blood.

"That young man will have a headache!"

The old Daoist knitted his brows, fearing that in such a time, these people were targeting Han Yu...
