All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

At the summit of auspicious clouds, the Underworld Emperor sat regally on his dragon throne.

The dark dragon-patterned imperial robe fluttered in the wind, and his imperial aura was as deep and boundless as the sea.

The oppressive atmosphere plunged the entire battlefield into a brief, deathly silence.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Shi Si, who was floating in the air.

Those eyes were as deep as the night sky, and beneath their majesty lay a hint of tenderness and affection that was hard to detect.

No one knew that this boy, who was awakening on the brink of life and death, was actually the only offspring of Emperor Mingluo.

Back then, when the war of the gods broke out, the Origin Realm coveted the awakened power of Earth, attempting to seize its origin.

To protect Shi Si and ensure his safety, Emperor Mingluo also wanted him to awaken his original divine power through the purest form of training.

He spared no effort to use his own divine essence as a guide to conceal Shi Si's divine vein aura.

They secretly sent him, still an infant, to Earth and placed him outside the walls of the Shen family mansion.

Even the nanny who seemingly found the abandoned baby Shi Si by chance and took him back to the Shen family to take good care of him.

He was also a loyal servant personally selected and secretly arranged by the Underworld Emperor.

For many years, she has been silently protecting and nurturing the divine veins hidden within Shi Si's body, waiting for the day he awakens.

Now, with Shi Si on the verge of death and his divine veins on the verge of collapse, this is the last chance for awakening.

This was also the moment when Emperor Mingluo had no choice but to reveal himself—he could tolerate Shi Si undergoing trials and tribulations.

But he could never tolerate his son dying on this battlefield, dying at the hands of the Source Realm thieves.

"You scoundrels of the Origin Realm, you harmed my son and disturbed his awakening! Today, you will pay for your crimes in blood!"

The voice of the Underworld Emperor was no longer the authoritative warning it had been, but instead filled with boundless rage.

Like a thunderclap, it shook the heavens and the earth, and auspicious clouds churned.

Even the space high above was cracked with fine fissures.

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, his black sleeves sweeping across the room, unleashing a powerful imperial aura.

He sternly ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him: "All heavenly soldiers, heed my command! Follow me into battle!"

"Slay all the traitors from the Origin Realm, protect my son's awakening, defend my Earth battlefield, and those who retreat will be punished according to military law!"

"As the Emperor commands!"

Amidst auspicious clouds, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the universe and echoing in every corner of the battlefield.

They were clad in golden armor, wielding divine weapons, their bodies radiating spiritual light, exuding an aura of otherworldly grandeur.

Countless figures, like a sky full of stars, sped down from the auspicious clouds.

In an instant, they formed a neat battle formation on the battlefield, their momentum unstoppable and their power overwhelming.

The two high-level Grand Luo cultivators from the Origin Realm were completely suppressed by the oppressive aura of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and their expressions changed drastically.

But their inherent pride still prevented them from bowing their heads.

Jin Yan's face was ashen, and he roared angrily, "Emperor Mingluo, how dare you interfere in the war between the Origin Realm and Earth!"

"Aren't you afraid of triggering a war between the two realms and being besieged by the immortals of the Heavenly Palace?"

"Encirclement and annihilation?" Emperor Mingluo sneered, his eyes as cold as knives.

"My son was humiliated and on the verge of death on this battlefield, let alone some mere trash from the Origin Realm."

"Even if the celestial beings of the Heavenly Palace try to stop me, I will kill them without hesitation!"

"Let's do it!"

At the command of the Underworld Emperor, two black-armored generals standing behind him flashed into view.

They charged toward Jin Yan and the black-robed Origin Realm cultivator.

The two of them were originally capable subordinates of the Underworld Emperor, and their cultivation was at the high level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The black knife that was ordered to hide inside Shi Si's body was to protect him when he awakened.

Now, having received the Emperor's order, he held nothing back, his murderous aura surging, his divine weapon unsheathed, and he thrust directly at the two Origin Realm Grand Luo Immortals.

"clang--!"

The four divine weapons collided violently, producing a deafening roar.

The golden and black auras intertwined and collided, spreading out with tremendous force.

The clouds high in the sky were instantly torn apart, the sun and moon lost their light, and the earth trembled violently.

The rubble on the wasteland was blown away and flew in all directions.

At the same time, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals launched a fierce attack on the Origin Realm stronghold.

They had a clear division of labor; some carried long spears, forming ranks to charge forward, the tips of their spears gleaming with dazzling spiritual light, aiming straight at the cultivators from the Origin Realm.

Some wielded longswords, flying on their swords, their swords flashing like lightning, reaping the lives of cultivators from the Origin Realm.

Others unleashed their immortal techniques, unleashing a barrage of powerful spells that rained down on the Origin Realm stronghold.

Explosions rang out one after another, incessantly.

Inside the stronghold, the Earth cultivators who were on the verge of death saw the heavenly soldiers and generals descend and witnessed the majesty of the Underworld Emperor.

Despair was instantly replaced by hope, and they struggled with all their might to get up from the ground.

Even with injuries all over his body and broken meridians, he still picked up his weapon and joined the battle.

Su Qingyuan carried Lin Nannan and settled her in the safe area of ​​the stronghold.

He gathered spiritual energy around him, and a cyan longsword appeared in his hand. He turned and charged towards the Origin Realm cultivator.

The sword light was sharp and fierce; each strike could kill a Celestial Immortal from the Origin Realm.

Even with new wounds on her body, she didn't stop at all—she wanted to protect Nannan.

Protect your companions, and even more importantly, protect the land that nurtured you.

Despite his injuries, Chen Su forced the Qiankun Compass in his hand to start operating again, its azure spiritual light dazzlingly bright.

While investigating the movements of the Origin Realm cultivators, he shouted to the Earth cultivators beside him.

"Everyone, follow the rhythm of the heavenly soldiers and generals! Celestial immortals from the Origin Realm are gathering on the left; quickly concentrate your forces to intercept them!"

His voice pierced through the shouts of battle and reached the ears of every cultivator on Earth.

The previously scattered Earth cultivators instantly rallied together, following the footsteps of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and bravely fought the enemy.

Even when facing cultivators from the Origin Realm who outnumbered him several times over, he did not flinch in the slightest.

High in the sky, two black-armored divine generals and two high-level Grand Luo cultivators from the Origin Realm were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The two black-armored generals worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, their divine weapons wielding with overwhelming ferocity.

Each strike carried the imperial might of the Underworld Emperor, forcing the two Origin Realm Grand Luo cultivators to retreat steadily.

Jin Yan was both shocked and furious. He never expected that the divine general under the command of Emperor Mingluo would be so powerful.

The two of them joined forces, and he and the black-robed cultivator found it difficult to withstand them.

He gritted his teeth, and the golden spiritual light around his body surged wildly as his internal source power erupted without reservation.

He conjured a massive golden battle blade in his hand and slashed fiercely at one of the black-armored generals.

The blades flashed, carrying a destructive force.

"You're courting death!" The black-armored general sneered, showing no fear whatsoever. He held his black spear horizontally and fiercely blocked the golden battle blade.

With a loud "bang," the force of the impact forced Jin Yan to stagger backward, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.

The source energy around his body also became somewhat disordered.

On the other side, the black-robed Origin Realm cultivators also launched a frenzied counterattack.

Black spiritual light condensed into countless black blades, shooting towards another black-armored general.

The black blade was extremely fast, blocking all of the opponent's escape routes.

The black-armored general's eyes flashed, and his figure flashed, transforming into a black afterimage, avoiding all the black blades.

At the same time, he thrust out his black spear, the tip of which was wrapped in a powerful killing aura, aiming straight for the black-robed cultivator's vital point.

"puff--!"

The black spear pierced the black-robed cultivator's shoulder, and black primordial blood gushed out.

The black-robed cultivator let out a miserable cry, his body suddenly froze, his eyes filled with pain and resentment.

Still unwilling to admit defeat, he raised his hand and unleashed a beam of black spiritual light that slammed into the chest of the black-armored general.

The black-armored general neither dodged nor evaded; a black shield appeared around his body, blocking the attack.

At the same time, with a twist of his wrist, the black spear stirred within the black-robed cultivator's body.

The black-robed cultivator's screams grew increasingly shrill, and his aura instantly weakened, indicating severe injuries.

"Useless!" Emperor Mingluo sat atop auspicious clouds, coldly watching this scene, his tone utterly devoid of emotion.

"Even my two divine generals couldn't stop you, yet you dare to run wild on this battlefield? You're simply courting death!"

Just then, a violent roar suddenly came from the other side of the battlefield.

A massive black rift slowly unfolded across the wasteland.

The crack was filled with a rich aura of the Origin Realm, and countless black spiritual lights surged out from it.

Countless Origin Realm cultivators surged onto the battlefield like a tidal wave.

"Hahaha! Emperor Mingluo, do you think you've won just like that?" Jin Yan's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope when he saw this.

Ignoring his injuries, he laughed loudly: "We were prepared long ago, all we need to do is stall for time."

"This will open the Origin Realm passage, allowing more Origin Realm cultivators to flood in."

"Today, even with heavenly soldiers and generals by your side, you cannot stop the advance of our Origin Realm army!"

Everyone looked up and saw that the black crack was getting bigger and wider.

Countless cultivators from the Origin Realm emerged from the cracks in an endless stream, including Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals.

There were even many cultivators at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, densely packed and countless in number.

Like a black tide, it surged madly towards the heavenly soldiers and earthly cultivators.

The heavenly soldiers and generals who had initially gained the upper hand were instantly surrounded by cultivators from the Origin Realm.

The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly, and a tense atmosphere once again enveloped the entire battlefield.

A celestial soldier, wielding a long spear, fiercely killed several Origin Realm Celestial Immortals around him.

However, he was ambushed from behind by a Golden Immortal from the Origin Realm. The spear pierced his back, and golden immortal blood gushed out.

He staggered a few steps but did not fall. He turned around and swung his spear, piercing the throat of the Golden Immortal from the Origin Realm.

He then slowly collapsed to the ground, his soul dissipating, his golden armor stained with blood, and all his former majesty vanished.

Another celestial soldier was besieged by dozens of Origin Realm Celestial Immortals. His spiritual light was dim and his body was covered with wounds.

His golden armor was stained red with blood, yet he still fought bravely, each sword strike taking the life of a cultivator from the Origin Realm.

Until his immortal power was exhausted, he was hacked to death by cultivators from the Origin Realm, and his body turned into countless rays of spiritual light, dissipating on the battlefield.

The war became increasingly brutal.

Blood stained every inch of the wasteland, and corpses littered the ground.

Some were the golden-armored corpses of celestial soldiers and generals, while others were the black bodies of cultivators from the Origin Realm.

Others were the mangled bodies of Earth cultivators, the air thick with the stench of blood and the burnt smell of colliding immortal and source energies.

It's disgusting.

A young Earth cultivator, only at the Golden Core stage, charged towards a Celestial Immortal from the Origin Realm, wielding a broken longsword.

He knew he was no match for them, yet he did not back down—his family had been killed by cultivators from the Origin Realm.

His home was destroyed by cultivators from the Origin Realm, and his only obsession is to kill the traitors from the Origin Realm.

To avenge my family and protect this land.

"You thief! Prepare to die!"

The young cultivator roared and thrust out his long sword, but was struck by a black spiritual light with a gentle wave of his hand from the Celestial Immortal of the Origin Realm.

His body was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his bones shattered.

They have lost their fighting ability.

The Celestial Immortal of the Origin Realm sneered and slowly walked up to the young cultivator, condensing a black spiritual light in his hand.

They wanted to kill him completely.

At this critical moment, a celestial soldier flashed and rushed in front of the young cultivator.

He used his own body to block the black spiritual light, and golden immortal blood gushed out.

The aura of the heavenly soldiers and generals instantly weakened.

"Go quickly! Protect the Earth, protect your home!" The heavenly soldiers and generals looked at the young cultivator, their voices weak but still firm.

He then turned and rushed towards the Celestial Immortal of the Origin Realm, even if it meant exhausting his immortal power, he wanted to buy time for the young cultivator to escape.

The young cultivator watched the retreating figures of the heavenly soldiers and generals, his eyes filled with tears and anger.

He struggled with all his might to get up from the ground and picked up the broken longsword.

They charged towards the Origin Realm cultivators once again, even though they were covered in wounds and certain to die, they still bravely pressed forward.

He could not let down the heavenly soldiers and generals who sacrificed themselves, nor could he let down those who protected their homeland.

High in the sky, Shi Si and Shen Jianxin still floated between the two pillars of light.

His injuries were healing at a visible speed, and his aura was rapidly increasing.

The black dagger within Shi Si's body shone brighter and brighter, and the hidden power of the divine vein was awakening wildly.

His consciousness gradually became clearer.

He vaguely remembered seeing those blurry figures when he was dying.

I remember hearing the words, "May you all have great military fortune!" and I also remember the majestic emperor high in the sky.

When she looked at herself, there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes that was almost imperceptible.

"Who is he? Why did he save me?" Shi Si was filled with doubt.

The divine power within his body grew increasingly powerful, and the black pillar of light surrounding him became brighter and brighter.

The two beams of light intertwined, echoing the white light pillar surrounding Shen Jianxin.

A massive net of light formed, enveloping the entire battlefield and nourishing every celestial soldier and earth cultivator who fought bravely.

The innate sword embryo within Shen Jianxin's body was also operating wildly, and a dazzling white spiritual light emanated from the sword embryo.

His cultivation level was also rapidly improving, soaring from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage.

There were even faint signs that he was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

He could clearly feel a powerful force awakening within him.

That is the original power of the innate sword embryo, and also the power of responsibility to protect the earth.

"Kenshin, we can't wait any longer!" Shi Si's voice came from the black pillar of light, his tone firm.

"The heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the earthly cultivators, are all fighting desperately for us. We must awaken as soon as possible."

"Join the battle, protect them, protect the Earth!"

Shen Jianxin nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He closed his eyes and fully activated the innate sword embryo within his body, causing the white pillar of light to surge once again.

The power of the innate sword embryo flowed continuously into his body.

Countless sword shadows began to appear around him, their sharp light piercing the sky.

As Emperor Mingluo finished speaking, the divine meridians within Shi Si's body fully awakened.

A surge of divine energy, so immense it was almost suffocating, erupted from his body.

A black beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, echoing the imperial might of the Underworld Emperor above the auspicious clouds.

The entire battlefield trembled slightly under the impact of this divine energy.

Shi Si slowly opened his eyes, and his originally dark eyes were now gleaming with a faint dark spiritual light.

His eyes were sharp, and his aura was vast.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the void beyond the battlefield, a figure in white stood silently.

His aura was concealed, as if he had merged into the void; it was Pei Shaoyu.

He gazed intently at Shi Si and Shen Jianxin, who had awakened in the air, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

There was relief, there was melancholy, and even a hint of barely perceptible nostalgia.

Having survived the trials of life and death, it has finally blossomed with its own unique brilliance.

"So that's how it is. We'll definitely succeed this time!" Shi Si looked up at the sky, his gaze clear and firm.

A faint black spiritual light flowed around him, and at this moment, he seemed to have traveled through the river of time.

Looking at his former self, who once fought bloody battles on the battlefield, his eyes were filled with relief and determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black dagger inside Shi Si's body suddenly appeared and spun rapidly in the air.

Streams of dark spiritual light surged wildly into the blade, causing the small knife to instantly grow into a black longsword over ten feet long.

The blade was clearly patterned, exuding a terrifying aura, and surrounded by a vast divine power, with faint sounds of thunder.

Shi Si slowly raised his hand and firmly grasped the hilt of the black longsword.

The moment his fingertips touched the hilt of the knife, an even larger and more terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Dark spiritual light swept across the heavens and earth, and its oppressive power, like a tsunami, fiercely enveloped the entire battlefield.

Even the auspicious clouds high in the sky trembled slightly.

Then, Shi Si slowly turned his gaze, his eyes gleaming with a mysterious light in the darkness.

It precisely locked onto the two high-level Grand Luo cultivators from the Origin Realm who were being suppressed by the Black Armored Divine General high in the sky.

His tone was extremely flat, without the slightest ripple, as if he were looking at two lifeless corpses.

"I don't blame you for your ignorance; attempting to be an enemy of the Earth is your greatest crime and you deserve to die."
