Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan hadn't used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for a long time;

He hadn't originally planned to self-destruct his vengeful spirit...

For him, the self-destruction of the Mysterious Overlord was nothing more than a powerful attack.

But they represent individual 'slots'.

Imprisoned within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, they are not considered dead; they still occupy the position of ruler. If he captures one, the number of rulers in the strange realm will decrease.

After it self-destructs, the Mysterious Supreme can then bestow upon other Mysterious 'Dominator's Status'...

The difference between the two is significant;

But there's nothing he can do now. He can hold out for a while under this annihilation and slowly find a way to break the deadlock.

But those mid-level rulers won't be able to wait until then...

For example, the Lord of Tide and Stillness who arrived slightly earlier than him;

In a short period of time, a large portion of its foundation was destroyed, and its aura became weak.

If the vengeful spirit self-destructs, so be it; we can catch it again later.

But things got more complicated after the fall of the human rulers...

......

Although the strange overlord captured inside the Myriad Soul Banner was not worth mentioning in terms of combat power compared to Chu Yuan;

Yet, even in its self-destruction, it still displayed the level befitting a ruler of the starry sky!

Under Chu Yuan's general guidance, the endless and fierce soul storm swept into the void!

Spreading out into the distant depths of space...

Until it reached a certain edge, it seemed as if an invisible barrier blocked it!

The soul storm struck it. Although Chu Yuan couldn't see it, he could feel that the invisible barrier was cracking!

However, although it has cracks, it is far from broken!

"Attack here!"

The Star-Picking Sword was thrust out and, under the control of divine sense, pinned to one spot;

In Chu Yuan's perception, that void was a node where several cracks intertwined!

But the Star-Picking Sword was also stuck.

The starlight surged in bursts, yet it could never truly break through it...

Black Rhino ignored Chu Yuan completely.

The void around a mid-level Starry Sky Ruler suddenly distorted;

Immediately, a giant mouth appeared and lunged at him!

Without a sound, and with no way to prevent it!

It was as if the spot where he originally stood was right between those enormous teeth...

The Lord of Li Si's expression changed, and he instantly killed him!

The sword light swept through the air, but only struck empty air;

And that sovereign vanished along with the gigantic maw...

Exaggerated chewing sounds echoed in the void, seemingly deliberately provoking everyone's nerves...

The Lord of Li secretly transmitted his voice: "Chu Yuan, this domain is unpredictable. You sensed that aura earlier, didn't you?"

"Is it the Supreme Being?"

"As far as I know, this resurgence of the forbidden zone did not involve any supreme-level primordial beings..."

Now is not the time to get to the bottom of things. That aura merged into this domain, which is why it is so indestructible!

If this continues, we might all become food for the Black Rhino!

He said fiercely, "I will make the other rulers self-destruct, and then bombard them with forbidden techniques."

Perhaps we can break it open...

Are you ready...?

"Prepare what?" Chu Yuan was taken aback.

"Naturally, we're preparing to escape..." The Lord of Li Si said with exasperation, "Why can't you understand?"

This battle was not our fault; it was simply that the existence of the Black Rhino Sacrifice was far too astonishing!

Since we did not interrupt his sacrifice, our defeat was already inevitable!

"We can perish and await the resurrection of the Supreme One... but you are someone who has the potential to ascend to the Supreme One; you cannot perish here."

Chu Yuan shook his head: "To be cowardly before even engaging in battle, that's not like you, Lord of Li Si..."

"If we only have courage and recklessness, and don't know when to advance or retreat... how could humanity have become so powerful today?" The Lord of Li Si retorted, "Enough with the nonsense. I command the Black Wind Domain battlefield. That's an order."

"No need, I never said I couldn't do anything..."

"Um?"

Chu Yuan sighed inwardly and stopped activating the spiritual treasure;

He formed a hand seal, and subtle lightning crackled at his fingertips.

The Lord of Li Si looked on with some confusion;

Chu Yuan's Thunder Secret Technique has a restraining effect on strange phenomena, he knows that... but how can it help in the current situation?

The black rhinoceros is not a monster;

That terrifying aura that descended due to the sacrifice might be eerie, or it might not be... but it had no physical form.

Even if lightning strikes, where will it strike?

Is it in the void?

What's the use of that...?

"Shangqing: The True Technique of Controlling Thunder in the Nine Heavens!"

After completing the spell, Chu Yuan sensed the backlash coming and knew that he was safe.

His face was pale as he looked up at the distant starry sky.

The thunder that the Lord of Li Si had anticipated did not appear... Instead, another majestic will slowly seeped in.

As if locking onto something, it gradually stopped;

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed deep within my soul!

As if something had appeared out of nowhere, a thick pillar of lightning pierced through from the outside!

That invisible barrier shattered instantly, and the familiar laws of the starry sky returned...

The Lord of Li Si was stunned for a moment, then instantly grabbed Chu Yuan and fled the place in a few flashes!

Once you stand still in the void outside and turn around, you will see that the starry sky behind you, which had originally been transformed into a domain, is shrinking.

It seems there is a singularity at the center, which devours all matter and all energy, gradually transforming into a form familiar to everyone...

It was a black rhinoceros.

A glimmer of fear and anger still lingered in his eyes;

He then stared intently at Chu Yuan, and said through gritted teeth in a more complicated tone, "What right do you have!"

You despicable! Shameless! Vile thief!

"Did I steal your mother?" Chu Yuan said weakly, "Kill him!"

"......"

.......

The sacrifice seemed to have caused significant damage to the Black Rhino, and aside from devouring a mid-level Overlord, it gained no replenishment whatsoever...

Therefore, in the end, it did not cause any significant disturbance.

Ultimately, it was chopped into tiny pieces by the Lord of Li Si, and then burned to ashes...

Even as he fell, he kept staring intently at Chu Yuan.

There was no fear of death in their eyes, only hatred;

A hatred that...something of utmost importance was taken away by Chu Yuan!

Chu Yuan actually guessed what it was;

It shouldn't be luck... but rather the favor of the will of the universe upon him.

That's rare;

Instead of blaming the will of the universe, you come to hate me?

The will of the universe has no wisdom; it is perfectly just and impartial.

Since the primordial beings were abandoned by Him... there must be a reason.

It was indeed abandonment;

After the Black Rhino's demise, Chu Yuan discovered that his luck had increased again.

Ironically, he had killed many strange rulers, yet he had not gained any luck.

Those who participated in the siege of these resurrected primordial beings gained a considerable amount of fortune...

and many more......

Chu Yuan suddenly remembered that most of the strange overlords he had killed were killed with lightning magic;

This is an act of punishment on behalf of Heaven...

So the reason why He doesn't increase His Luck might be that, according to the judgment of the universe, He personally killed those strange rulers.
