All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Shi Si had no chance to dodge and was hit hard in the chest by the demonic energy.

With a muffled groan, his body slammed against the wall like a kite with a broken string.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

I tried to get up, but found that my whole body was in excruciating pain and I couldn't move at all.

"Brother Shi Si!" Lin Nannan cried even harder when she saw Shi Si was injured.

Struggling desperately, he cried, "You bad person! Let me go! I want to go back!"

The dark figure sneered, completely ignoring Lin Nannan's struggles.

Ignoring Shi Si and the others on the ground, he raised his hand and waved it, his body radiating a faint black spiritual light.

A spatial rift slowly appeared in front of him.

"Hahaha... Little one, come back to the Origin Realm with me. That's where you belong!"

The dark figure let out an eerie laugh, grabbed Lin Nannan, and was about to step into the spatial rift.

"No! I don't want to go to the Origin Realm! Save me! Brother Shi Si! Sister Su!"

Lin Nannan's cries were heart-wrenching, filled with fear and despair.

Shi Si lay on the ground, watching Lin Nannan being pulled step by step towards the spatial rift.

The pain and helplessness in my heart are indescribable.

He tried desperately to get up, but his spiritual energy was in disarray, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body, making it impossible for him to move.

"My dear... I'm so sorry... I couldn't protect you..."

Tears welled up in Shi Si's eyes, his voice hoarse and filled with self-reproach.

Su Qingyuan was also injured by the demonic energy, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at Lin Nannan with anxiety and helplessness in her eyes. She wanted to rush over, but Chen Su held her back.

"Don't go! We're no match for him; going there would just be suicide!"

Chen Su's face was pale, and her tone was full of helplessness and resentment.

"What we can do now is to recover from our injuries as quickly as possible, find a way to locate the Source Realm's stronghold, and rescue Nannan!"

Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.

She knew that Chen Su was right; they were no match for that dark figure.

Going there would only be a pointless death, but seeing Lin Nannan being kidnapped, the pain in her heart was indescribable.

Shen Jianxin lay on the bed, watching Lin Nannan being kidnapped and Shi Si being injured.

Filled with anger and self-blame, he desperately tried to activate the spiritual power within his body.

However, they discovered that the meridians in their body had not been repaired, and they were completely unable to move.

They could only watch helplessly as Lin Nannan was pulled by the dark figure and stepped into the spatial rift.

"My little girl—!"

The roars of the group echoed throughout the wooden house, but they were powerless to stop the spatial rift from closing.

The dark figure pulled Lin Nannan into the spatial rift, and the rift slowly closed the moment they stepped in.

They disappeared into the wooden house, leaving behind only a thick, lingering demonic aura.

Inside the wooden house, a deathly silence instantly descended.

Only the panting of a few people and Shi Si's suppressed sobs remained.

Shi Si struggled and slowly crawled to the wall, leaning against it.

Looking at the spot where the spatial rift disappeared, his eyes were filled with self-blame and despair.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"It's all my fault...it's all my fault...If I were stronger, Nannan wouldn't have been kidnapped..."

Su Qingyuan walked to Shi Si's side, squatted down, and gently patted his shoulder.

Her eyes were also full of tears, but she still held them back and comforted him, "Shi Si, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"The enemy is too strong; we are no match for him at all."

"What we need to do now is to recover from our injuries as soon as possible and improve our strength."

"Find the Origin Realm's stronghold, rescue Nannan, and Nannan will definitely be alright."

Chen Su also walked over, her face pale, but still carrying a hint of determination.

"That's right, that Origin Realm cultivator kidnapped Nannan, he must have wanted to use her spatial physique to do something bad."

"We must find them as soon as possible and rescue Nannan."

"Moreover, I just sensed that the aura of that Origin Realm cultivator, although powerful, was not stable."

"It seems he forcibly crossed through space, and he's suffering from the backlash of spatial power. He shouldn't have gone far."

"As long as we recover from our injuries as quickly as possible, we can find his trail by following the traces of demonic energy he left behind."

Hui Shu walked over to the group and said solemnly, "I will immediately inform the high command of the Allied Forces and explain the situation here."

"Have them send reinforcements for us. At the same time, I will use all available logistical resources to search for the whereabouts of that Origin Realm cultivator."

"We will definitely be able to rescue Fellow Daoist Nannan."

Shen Jianxin opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the group, and spoke in a hoarse but firm tone.

"I will also recover from my injuries as soon as possible, and together with you, rescue Nannan."

"No matter how strong that Origin Realm cultivator is, I will not back down!"

Shi Si raised his head, wiped away the tears on his face, and the despair in his eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

"That's right, I can't back down. I need to become stronger, and I need to rescue Nannan!"

"Cultivator from the Origin Realm, you just wait! Today you kidnapped Nannan, but one day I will repay you a hundredfold."

"I will tear you to pieces and rescue Nannan!"

The black dagger inside his body trembled violently once more, and his entire body surged with dark light.

A powerful determination and strength emanated from him, as if in response to his vow.

The black dagger inside his body trembled more and more violently, and the ancient and powerful fluctuations grew stronger and stronger.

Dark light emanated from his body and gradually enveloped his entire being.

Even the surrounding air seemed to tremble slightly.

A look of shock flashed in Chen Su's eyes. She quickly stepped forward and stared intently at the fluctuations within Shi Si's body.

"This power... is even stronger than when we killed the Origin Realm cultivators before!"

Su Qingyuan and Hui Shu were also astonished. They could clearly feel that Shi Si's aura was rapidly increasing.

Although he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, his intimidating aura far surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Shen Jianxin's eyes widened in disbelief: "Shi Si... the dagger inside him seems to be responding to his resolve!"

Shi Si could clearly feel the power surging wildly within his body.

The black dagger resonated strongly, as if telling him that as long as he was determined enough, it would lend him a hand.

Unbeknownst to anyone, deep within Shi Si's body, from the dark dagger, two secret voices were emanating.

It sounded like whispers, yet also like an argument.

A voice, filled with urgency and rebuke, rang out: "Are you crazy? How dare you resonate with him here?!"

Another voice, tinged with resentment and dissatisfaction, said with a tone full of helplessness: "Otherwise what? A story that was clearly meant to be a wish-fulfillment tale has turned into one of masochism!?"

"If the Emperor finds out, it's fine; he might just scold you a bit. But if the Fairy finds out, won't she chop you into mincemeat?"

The first voice paused, then added with a hint of resignation: "Then let's go for the big ones?"

Another voice suddenly rose in pitch, its helplessness replaced by a hint of arrogance: "Come on! What are you afraid of!"

"The highest level of combatants on this battlefield is probably the early stage of the Great Luo realm. Are we going to be afraid?"

As their conversation ended, two powerful streams of spiritual energy suddenly surged from the depths of the black dagger.

The two spiritual energies intertwined and flowed slowly along the lines of the knife.

Gradually, it gathered into a warm current, flowing into Shi Si's meridians.

At first, this spiritual energy was very thin, but as it continued to gather, it became more and more viscous and gradually solidified.

It eventually transformed into a crystal-clear spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid flowed slowly along Shi Si's meridians, and wherever it passed, the originally chaotic spiritual energy was soothed and assimilated.

Shi Si felt a warm sensation inside his body, and the sharp pain in his chest gradually subsided.

The exhaustion in my body was also dispelled by a powerful force.

The originally meager spiritual power within him, like a spark ignited, rapidly grew stronger under the nourishment of the spiritual liquid.

What started as a trickle of spiritual energy gradually became turbulent, and eventually transformed into a rushing river.

It flowed slowly through his meridians.

Every inch of the meridians was nourished by the spiritual liquid, becoming wider and stronger.

The demonic energy within his body was rapidly washed away and absorbed by the spiritual liquid, gradually dissipating completely.

Just as the spiritual liquid was surging and circulating in Shi Si's meridians, the black dagger inside his body trembled even more violently.

At first, it was just a slight tremor, like a gentle breeze across a lake, but in an instant, the tremor became violent.

The dagger hummed wildly deep within his dantian, and the dark light around him grew increasingly intense.

It almost broke through the restraints of his dantian and spread to his limbs and bones.

That ancient and powerful fluctuation also grew stronger.

Like a tide, wave after wave surged and spread outwards.

Inside the wooden house, the array that Chen Su had set up was trembling slightly from the shockwave.

The azure light flickered, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Chen Su's expression changed drastically as he stared intently at Shi Si's dantian, his voice filled with shock.

"This is bad! The energy fluctuations from this dagger are too strong. If this continues, the formation won't be able to hold it off."

"It will attract cultivators from the surrounding Origin Realm!"

Just as Chen Su finished speaking, the azure light of the formation dimmed further, on the verge of shattering completely—

A tall, imposing figure appeared instantly at the door of the wooden house, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

The black aura emanating from his body had not yet completely subsided, and his robes were still stained with undried blood.

It was Wei Yu, who had just killed a Golden Immortal from the Origin Realm!

He had just stabilized the chaotic spiritual energy within his body when he sensed an unusually powerful fluctuation of energy in the area.

Worried that Shi Si and the others might be in danger, they rushed over immediately.

Wei Yu's gaze swept across the scene inside the wooden house, where he saw Shi Si, Su Qingyuan, and Chen Su, all covered in injuries.

Upon seeing the surge of dark light emanating from Shi Si's body, his brows furrowed sharply.

He spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, still carrying the suffocating quality of recent battle, yet still exuding authority: "What happened?"

Seeing this, Chen Su felt relieved and quickly stepped forward, saying urgently, "Fellow Daoist Wei Yu! You've finally arrived!"

"A cultivator from the Origin Realm just broke in and kidnapped our companion."

"Fellow Daoist Shi Si, the small dagger within your body has suddenly stirred, the fluctuations are too intense, and my formation is about to break!"

Wei Yu's eyes darkened, and his murderous aura surged again as he looked at Shi Si.

When he sensed the familiar yet strange fluctuation within Shi Si's body, his brows furrowed even more, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He could clearly sense that the power within Shi Si's body was both strange and familiar.

The aura emanating from that small black knife, in particular, stirred up a strange sense of familiarity deep within him once more.

Shi Si also looked up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes the moment he saw Wei Yu.

Then, his resolve crumbled, and he struggled to his feet: "Fellow Daoist Wei Yu! Please help me!"

"My daughter has been kidnapped by cultivators from the Origin Realm! I must go rescue her!"

Wei Yu raised his hand, and a gentle spiritual energy flowed into Shi Si's body, helping him stabilize his posture.

His tone was solemn: "Rest assured, now that I'm here, I won't let the cultivators from the Origin Realm run rampant on Earth."

He turned to Chen Su, his tone icy: "What was that Origin Realm cultivator's cultivation level? Which direction did he go?"

"Were any traces left?"

Chen Su didn't dare to delay. He immediately turned around, rushed to the table, and grabbed the Qiankun Compass from the table.

A rich blue spiritual light emanated from his fingertips as he rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

The spiritual energy around him surged wildly into the compass.

The once dormant compass was instantly activated by a flash of inspiration, its pointer spinning wildly and emitting a soft "humming" sound.

"Compass calculation, track the trail!" Chen Su shouted in a low voice, his brows furrowed tightly.

His eyes were fixed on the compass needle, and his aura grew increasingly heavy.

His fingertips constantly changed hand seals, and the runes on the compass gradually lit up.

A faint cyan spiritual light emanated from the compass, extending in the direction where the spatial rift disappeared.

"That cultivator from the Origin Realm was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. He forcibly tore through space and kidnapped Nannan."

As Chen Su calculated, he spoke quickly, his tone urgent yet steady.

"He went in the northwest direction. The traces of demonic energy were very clear, but the spatial fluctuations were dissipating rapidly."

"We must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the traces will disappear completely in a moment, and we'll never find Nannan again!"

As he spoke, the compass needle in Chen Su's hand gradually stabilized, pointing firmly to the northwest.

The light at the tip of the pointer became even more dazzling.

Wei Yu's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at Shi Si, seeing that the spiritual liquid in his body was still surging and circulating, and his aura was gradually stabilizing.

He said in a deep voice, "Shi Si, your spiritual energy has just undergone a strange change. You all wait for me here!"
