All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

"boom--!"

A deafening roar shook the Heavenly Palace, and the roof of the Ziwei Hall collapsed in a flash, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Mingluo crashed heavily onto the broken palace pillar, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the Netherworld Emperor's robe on his chest. His once upright body was now hunched over, and his breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

The Netherworld Barrier he erected with his last ounce of essence is now riddled with cracks and on the verge of shattering under the impact of the Moon Cluster's power to shatter the world.

"Cough cough..."

Mingluo struggled to sit up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with resentment and determination, and the remaining Netherworld power around him was still barely gathering.

He knew he was no match for the Moon Clan.

The gap between the first level of Shattering Realm and the ninth level of Breaking Realm is like an insurmountable chasm, an absolute crushing force in terms of realm. Even if he were the Netherworld Emperor, he could only barely hold out for a moment despite his best efforts.

The moon constellation hovered in the void, its body surrounded by a surge of pale purple shattering power. Moonlight and source energy intertwined, forming a heart-palpitating storm. Its eyes were cold as it stared at Mingluo, its tone full of disdain.

"Mingluo, you are overestimating yourself."

"With your meager strength, you dare to block this deputy legion commander?"

"I'm giving you one last chance. Get out of here and hand over Shi Si, or I, the deputy legion commander, might let you die a quick death."

Ming Luo slowly raised his head, his eyes showing no sign of retreat, only icy killing intent: "If you want to harm Shi Si, you'll have to be completely obliterated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he once again activated the remaining source of his power within his body, and the Netherworld Emperor Sword in his hand emitted a faint, dark light as he charged towards Yue Qun.

This strike exhausted all his strength; it was his last struggle and his final act of protection.

A hint of impatience flashed in Yuequn's eyes. He gently raised his hand, and a huge pale purple moon blade condensed, carrying the pressure of world-shattering power, and slammed towards Mingluo.

There is no suspense.

"clang--!"

The Netherworld Emperor Sword was struck by the Moon Blade, instantly slipping from his grasp and embedding itself in the shattered ground, emitting a mournful buzzing sound.

Mingluo was struck by the enormous impact again, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ruins of the Ziwei Palace. He could no longer struggle to get up, his breath was extremely weak, and he was only hanging on by a thread.

"Father!"

Suspended in mid-air, Shi Si suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with anxiety and anger, and the power within his body instantly became chaotic.

His breakthrough had entered its most critical moment; the barrier to the shattered realm was about to break, but Mingluo's serious injury threw him into disarray, and the barrier that was about to be broken through actually began to slowly heal.

"No... I can't get distracted..."

Shi Si gritted his teeth and forced his eyes closed, trying to stabilize the chaotic power within his body. But all he could hear was Ming Luo's heavy breathing and Yue Qun's cold, sinister laughter.

The moon slowly descended, walking step by step towards Shi Si. The power of shattering the world around it grew stronger and stronger, and its pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, tightly enveloping Shi Si.

"Shi Si, your backer has fallen."

"Without the protection of the Underworld, without the safeguard of the Heavenly Palace's will, you are doomed to die today!"

She raised her hand, and dense power of shattering the world gathered at her fingertips. The pale purple light grew stronger and stronger as she blasted towards the golden light shield surrounding Shi Si.

"Click—click—"

Under the impact of the power of the shattering realm, the golden light shield cracked wider and wider, emitting a crisp cracking sound, and it could shatter completely at any moment.

In the celestial palace below, the surviving immortals and soldiers of the Netherworld Legion watched this scene with eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Mingluo was critically injured and on the verge of death, Shisi's breakthrough was blocked, and no one could stop the power of the Moon Cluster to shatter the world.

Is the Heavenly Palace truly doomed to complete destruction?

Are all their efforts and sacrifices going to be in vain?

The three emperors burned their very essence, countless soldiers of the Netherworld Legion died in battle, and Mingluo fought with all his might to protect them, but in the end, he still could not withstand the crushing power of the Shattered Realm experts.

Despair, like a tidal wave, overwhelmed everyone's hearts.

Some collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly; some gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with resentment yet utterly powerless; some closed their eyes, awaiting death.

Looking at the desperate crowd below, Yuequn's eyes flashed with a smug grin. The power in his hands surged once more as he launched a final assault on the golden light shield.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, a huge gap appeared in the golden light shield, and the power of shattering the world rushed into Shi Si's body through the gap.

Shi Si shuddered, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The power within his body was completely disrupted, and the healing speed of the shattered barrier was getting faster and faster, making the hope of breaking through increasingly slim.

"Hahaha! Shi Si, give up!"

Yuequn burst into laughter, his tone brimming with smugness. "You are destined to never break through the Shattered Realm, destined to die at the hands of this deputy legion commander. The Heavenly Palace will ultimately become territory of my Origin Realm!"

She raised her hand again, gathering even more powerful Shattering Realm Power, preparing to completely shatter the golden light shield, kill Shi Si, and end this battle.

Mingluo lay amidst the ruins, watching Shi Si about to be killed, his eyes filled with despair and self-blame. He tried to struggle to get up, wanting to protect Shi Si once again, but his body wouldn't obey him, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"Shi Si... I'm sorry..."

"It's because your father is useless; he couldn't protect you, he couldn't protect the Heavenly Palace..."

Despair enveloped the entire Heavenly Palace, and the shadow of death drew ever closer.

At this critical moment, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly resounded in every corner of the myriad realms, clearly reaching the ears of every wanderer on Earth.

Whether they were wanderers training in the myriad realms, or those fighting against cultivators from the Origin Realm, or those critically injured and on the verge of death, or those cultivating in seclusion, all of them clearly heard this voice.

[Ding! The Homecoming System has issued an urgent mission!]

[Target audience: All those who wander on Earth!]

[Mission Objective: Assist the Guardian Shi Si in breaking through to the Shattered Realm!]

[Mission Reward: None!]

[Mission Penalty: None!]

[Mission Notes: All wanderers, please give your all to assist the Guardian Shi Si in successfully breaking through to the Shattered Realm! Obtain a Shattered Realm expert for the wanderers of Earth, aiding Earth in its divine war victory! Protect the road home, protect our Earth home!]

As the voice faded, images of the Heavenly Palace appeared in the minds of every wanderer on Earth—Shi Si was shrouded in a golden light shield, his aura chaotic, on the verge of failing his breakthrough; Ming Luo was severely injured and lay on the ground, barely alive; Yue Qun looked down from above, exuding murderous intent; the Heavenly Palace was in ruins, with corpses strewn everywhere.

All those who wander on Earth were instantly thrilled!

Time flies!

That wanderer from Earth who broke through the suppression of the Origin Realm, broke through the Realm Breaking Realm, and became the Lord of the Heavenly Palace!

That guardian who carried the hopes of all Earth's wanderers to return home, and fought to the death against the cultivators of the Origin Realm!

He is currently breaking through to the Shattered Realm, but he has encountered the obstruction of a Shattered Realm expert and is in dire straits!

"No reward? No punishment?"

"Who cares about the reward! Shi Si is the hope of us wanderers on Earth, we must help him!"

"That's right! With Shi Si breaking through to the Shattered Realm, we, the wanderers of Earth, will have a Shattered Realm expert, giving us an advantage in the God War and allowing us to return to Earth sooner!"

"You scum from the Origin Realm, how dare you bully us, the wanderers of Earth? You're asking for death!"

"Hurry! Head to the Heavenly Palace to assist Shi Si in his breakthrough!"

Roars echoed throughout every corner of the myriad realms.

Even more exciting is that as Shi Si broke through the boundary, the all-domain suppression array set up by the Origin Realm has developed huge cracks, and many of Earth's wanderers have actually regained their strength before the time-space wheel rewinds!

Some people who were originally suppressed at the Inner Realm have instantly recovered to the Breaking Realm; some people who were seriously injured and on the verge of death have instantly recovered their power and their injuries have healed rapidly; some people who could only use basic techniques have now unlocked all their long-sealed supernatural powers and secret techniques!

"Hahaha! My strength! I've regained my peak strength!"

"Great! Shi Si has broken the suppression, we're saved!"

"You scum from the Origin Realm, today we'll show you the power of us Earthlings!"

Without the slightest hesitation, countless wanderers of Earth transformed into streaks of light and sped toward the Heavenly Palace.

They came from every corner of the myriad realms, some traveling alone, some in groups, some riding interstellar warships, some riding flying swords, and some activating their supernatural powers, all rushing to the Heavenly Palace at top speed.
