Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Since joining the group, Shi Hao, due to his obsession, has never asked Zhu Chen for the "script" about the Perfect World, so he knows very little about the situation beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Foreign land?"

Shi Hao repeated the unfamiliar word, his eyes gleaming, lost in thought.

"Correct."

Zhu Chen nodded, then said in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "That is a world that is adjacent to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but completely different. Their overall strength is far greater than that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where we are. There are also true immortal beings there, and even terrifying beings that can rival the ancient immortal kings."

"Immortal King?"

Shi Hao gasped.

Although he didn't know much about the realm of immortals, he knew that it was a realm that surpassed even the sect leader and the supreme being, a legend among legends!
What kind of concept is it to be a being comparable to a Celestial King?

As certain images flashed through Zhu Chen's mind, he continued, "By the way, among those foreign immortal kings, there is one named An Lan. In terms of aura and spirit... it is no exaggeration to say that, looking across the heavens, few can surpass him."

As Shi Hao listened to Zhu Chen's description, there was no fear in his eyes; instead, a strange light gradually appeared.

It's a yearning for a wider world.

He originally thought that the upper realm was the pinnacle of the path of cultivation.

Unexpectedly, beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there exists a different realm, a world even more magnificent and teeming with powerful beings!

“Another land… Anlan…”

Shi Hao muttered to himself, already silently memorizing this person in his heart.

He looked at Zhu Chen, wanting to ask him more about the foreign land.

But that's it.

"—Boom!!!"

A strange sound suddenly came from the sky!
This sound was not thunder, but it was more awe-inspiring than a multitude of thunderclaps.

It was as if the "sky" of the entire lower realm was being torn apart by some unimaginable force at this moment!
At this moment, everyone, whether it was Zhu Chen and his group standing in the sky or the cultivators from various sects standing on the ground, instinctively raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

In the distance, the sky, which had been cleared up after Zhu Chen shattered the magic array, began to darken at a visible speed!
That wasn't the kind of darkness that comes with nightfall.

Instead, it was a dark red that carried an ominous aura!
Then, a cloud of lead, seemingly suppressed for countless ages, suddenly surged out of the void and instantly covered every inch of the sky in the eight regions of the lower realm!
"Crash..."

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

Golden chains of divine order began to shoot out from the sky.

These divine chains are like countless giant pythons that prey on those who will devour them. Their target is clear: those cultivators in the eight regions of the lower realm who have reached the Venerable level!

"Do not……"

"what is this?"

"Heavenly Chains? The Great Calamity... Has the Great Calamity arrived ahead of schedule?"

"Run!!!!"

A series of shrill screams and desperate cries instantly echoed throughout every corner of the Eight Domains!

The royal palace of the Stone Kingdom was quickly thrown into chaos.

The chains of divine order, wrapped in lightning runes, appeared almost instantly above the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Arena.

Ignoring spatial distance, they directly entangled themselves around the Venerable Realm cultivators present.

The Stone Emperor also suffered an attack from the divine chains.

"Get out of my sight..."

The Stone Emperor roared, unleashing the full power of his Imperial Dragon Qi. Nine golden dragon phantoms circled around him, attempting to block the chains of divine order.

But the flames on those divine chains seemed to be able to burn the laws.

The dragon aura that the Stone Emperor was so proud of crumbled upon contact, unable to withstand it even for a moment. Throughout the capital, wherever the aura of a Venerable One emanated, corresponding divine chains descended!

While Shi Hao, Huo Ling'er, and most cultivators whose cultivation had not yet reached the Venerable Realm were terrified by the world-destroying scene, the chains of order seemed to "ignore" them and did not attack them.

"The great calamity... has really come, just as Brother Zhu Chen predicted!"

Shi Hao's heart pounded wildly as he looked at the dense, terrifying scene in the sky, like a harvest from the apocalypse. A chill ran from his feet to the top of his head.

"This is... the harvest?"

Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and the others also looked at the sky with solemn expressions.

Despite their strength, they felt a chill run down their spines when faced with this 'harvesting' method, which seemed to be a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

This is not like a battle between strong individuals; it's more like an indiscriminate 'cleaning process'.

Zhu Chen looked up at the chains of divine order hanging from the sky, his eyes icy cold.

He knew that this was a 'harvesting program' created by certain lineages in the upper realms working together to activate the rules of the lower realms, specifically targeting cultivators of the Venerable level and above.

Although he had the ability to shatter or even interfere with some of the divine chains, it was almost impossible to completely stop such a method that covered the entire lower realm and was rooted in the rules of heaven and earth. Moreover, it would immediately attract a more intense backlash and attention from the upper realm.

time is limited!

"The great calamity has probably come earlier than expected, Ling'er, let's go..."

Zhu Chen grabbed Huo Ling'er's wrist.

"Um……"

Looking at the terrifying scene in the sky and then at Zhu Chen beside her with a solemn expression, Huo Ling'er instantly understood the seriousness of the situation. Without asking any further questions, she simply nodded vigorously.

"Your Majesty the Stone Emperor, a great calamity has arrived. Take care of yourselves. If you have any trump cards, use them as soon as possible!"

Zhu Chen shouted at the Stone Emperor, who was fighting against the divine chains in the distance.

Upon hearing this, the Stone Emperor fought back fiercely while roaring towards the depths of the palace: "Activate the ancestral land's restrictions! All citizens of the Stone Kingdom, seek refuge in the underground palace!"

As the Stone Emperor issued his command, ancient array lights suddenly shone throughout the depths of the Stone Kingdom's palace and various parts of the capital.

Zhu Chen didn't delay, grabbed Huo Ling'er and fled quickly towards the Fire Kingdom.

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan and the others did not hesitate and transformed into streaks of light to follow Zhu Chen.

In the blink of an eye, almost all of the top martial arts practitioners had left the training ground.

Zhu Chen's roots are in the Fire Kingdom.

Now that the upper realm has harvested the lower realm ahead of schedule, he must return to the Fire Kingdom as soon as possible.

"Big brother, your spatial portal isn't stable enough. Give me the coordinates of where you want to go, and I'll open a spatial portal to take you there..."

Just then, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chen realized that Xiao Yan was now a Dou Sheng level expert.

"Okay, come on."

Zhu Chen agreed without hesitation.

One of the best features in the Doupo world is its setting.

That means people above the Dou Zun level are skilled at using spatial power to build spatial channels.

Although both the Stone Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are located in the desolate region, they are separated by a million miles.

With his current abilities, it is clear that he cannot return to the Fire Kingdom in a short period of time.

However, if Xiao Yan were to construct a spatial passage, then there would be no problem.
