All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

"Pfft—!"

The source energy blade pierced Pei Shaoyu's left shoulder, and scalding blood gushed out, sliding down his arm and dripping into the void, turning into wisps of blood mist that dissipated in the wind.

He mustered his last bit of strength and finally touched the core hub of the realm master with his palm. The icy touch brought a sliver of clarity to his nearly exhausted mind.

But before he could even grasp the core hub in his hand, an overwhelming and suffocating pressure suddenly swept down from the sky, crashing down on him like Mount Tai.

Pei Shaoyu shuddered, spitting out another mouthful of blood. He staggered back several steps, and his hand, which had been gripping the core, was forced to release its grip.

"Hahaha! Pei Shaoyu, you have quite the nerve, daring to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and covet the core hub of my Origin Realm!"

A wild and cold laugh echoed through the void, followed by a dense mass of figures surging in from all directions like a tide, completely surrounding Pei Shaoyu.

Leading the group was a man clad in black armor, radiating a dense aura of Shattered Realm power. His aura was immense, and his eyes were icy cold. He was none other than Black Fiend, the commander of the Fifth Legion of the Origin Realm, possessing the strength of a peak first-tier Shattered Realm cultivator, even more formidable than Moon Swarm, who had been previously slain.

Beside Hei Sha stood two men clad in silver armor, both possessing auras at the peak of the Breaking Realm. They were none other than Gui Feng and Lei Bao, the vice commanders of the Fifth Legion.

Behind them were thousands of cultivators from the Fifth Legion, each with a sharp aura, wielding blades, their eyes fixed coldly on Pei Shaoyu, their killing intent so palpable it enveloped the entire void.

The Fifth Legion of the Origin Realm is one of the most powerful of the ten legions in the Origin Realm. It has been stationed on the borders of the myriad realms for many years, and has killed countless cultivators who resisted the Origin Realm. Its ruthless methods have earned it a far-reaching reputation.

Today, Hei Sha received news that Yue Qun had fallen and that Pei Shaoyu coveted the core hub of the realm he controlled. He immediately led the Fifth Legion to rush over, vowing to kill Pei Shaoyu and take back the core hub.

Pei Shaoyu slowly straightened up, the wound on his left shoulder still bleeding profusely. The power of the Shattered Realm around him had become extremely chaotic due to the previous fierce battle, and his aura had weakened to the extreme.

He looked up, his gaze icy as he stared at the three Black Fiends and the Fifth Legion cultivators around him. He clenched his fists, and the power of the Shattered Realm around him slowly surged again, preparing for a desperate battle.

He knew that today, leaving alive and obtaining the core hub of the realm lord was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But he did not back down. Even if he was facing the entire Fifth Legion, even if he was seriously injured, he had to fight with all his might. This core hub was the hope of the wanderers of Earth, and he could not give up.

Hei Sha hovered in the void, looking down at Pei Shaoyu with disdain and mockery in his eyes. His tone was icy: "Pei Shaoyu, I have heard of you. The first Shattering Realm expert among the Wanderers of Earth. Sounds pretty impressive."

"But seeing him today, he's nothing special. He can't even unleash half of his Shattering Realm power, and he was beaten and injured by several peak Breaking Realm cultivators. How laughable!"

Gui Feng stepped forward, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and echoed, "The Legion Commander is right. This Pei Shaoyu is just a name without substance! Bound by the contract, he can't act freely. Even if he's at the Shattering Realm, what use is he?"

"In my opinion, his so-called 'Shattering Realm Powerhouse' is nothing but a decoration. Today, our Fifth Legion will ensure his complete demise, letting all wanderers of Earth know that coveting the things of my Origin Realm only leads to death!"

Lei Bao sneered, his body crackling with lightning, and said arrogantly, "Pei Shaoyu, if you know what's good for you, hand over the core nexus of the Realm Lord immediately and cripple your cultivation. Perhaps then we can spare your corpse. Otherwise, today, we will ensure your soul is annihilated and you are never reincarnated!"

The three men's mocking voices pierced Pei Shaoyu's heart like sharp blades, yet his face remained unmoved, his eyes unwavering, and his tone icy: "You want the core hub, you want my life? You're not qualified!"

"Hahaha! Arrogant!" Black Fiend laughed loudly, a flash of anger in his eyes. "Since you're courting death, don't blame this legion commander for being ruthless!"

"Soldiers of the Fifth Legion, charge! Slay Pei Shaoyu, recapture the core hub, and the reward will be plentiful!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Thousands of cultivators from the Fifth Legion shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky. With a fearless determination, they unleashed their inner source power, wielding sharp blades, and charged madly towards Pei Shaoyu.

In an instant, countless blades of source energy shot towards Pei Shaoyu like a torrential rain. They were densely packed and left no blind spots. The void itself was cut with long cracks by these blades of source energy.

Pei Shaoyu's expression darkened. Without the slightest hesitation, the power of the Shattered Realm around him erupted instantly, condensing into a thick Shattered Realm Barrier that blocked his way.

"Clang clang clang—!"

Countless blades of source energy struck the shattered barrier fiercely, producing a crisp collision sound. The barrier trembled violently, and cracks appeared. Pei Shaoyu shuddered, spat out another mouthful of blood, and staggered back several steps.

His injuries were already quite severe, and now he had to withstand the siege of thousands of cultivators. His power to shatter the world was being consumed very quickly, and his aura was becoming increasingly weak.

But he didn't give up. He suddenly raised his hand, and a dense power of shattering the world gathered in his palm. He then slammed it down on the few Fifth Legion cultivators who were at the forefront.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the cultivators at the forefront were instantly struck by the power of the Shattering Realm. Their bodies exploded into dust, dissipating into the air without even leaving behind their souls.

However, this attack also exhausted most of the remaining power of the Shattered Realm within Pei Shaoyu's body. His face became even paler, and the wound on his left shoulder bled even more severely.

"Kill! Don't be afraid! He's already severely injured, and his power to shatter realms is almost gone. As long as we work together, we can definitely kill him!"

A captain of the Fifth Legion shouted a stern voice to boost morale, and then led the cultivators in another fierce attack on Pei Shaoyu.

Pei Shaoyu gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain all over his body, and continued to unleash the power of shattering the world. Each strike could kill several cultivators from the Fifth Legion, but the surrounding cultivators surged in like a tide, endlessly killing and annihilating them.

Several more wounds appeared on his body, staining his clothes with blood. He was trembling all over, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of backing down.

He knew that every cultivator he killed increased his chances of obtaining the core hub, and that even if he fought to the last drop of his life, even if he died on the battlefield, he would never back down.

In the void, the battle grew increasingly fierce, with blood staining the entire void crimson. The power of shattering realms collided with the source power, producing a deafening roar. Countless cultivators' corpses fell from the void, turning into streaks of meteors that dissipated into the endless darkness.

Pei Shaoyu was like a lone warrior, fighting fiercely amidst the siege of thousands of cultivators. Every strike he unleashed carried a do-or-die determination, and every kill came at a great cost.

His arm was pierced by the source energy blade, blood flowing freely, yet he still clenched his fist tightly and continued to strike; his chest was struck by source energy, breaking several ribs, yet he still stood upright, refusing to fall; his legs were burned by source energy, a bloody mess, yet he still held his ground, fighting back with all his might.

Hei Sha hovered in the void, watching the fierce battle below. He looked at Pei Shaoyu, who was covered in wounds but still fighting desperately. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said in an icy tone, "What an idiot. He is already at his wit's end, but he is still struggling in his death throes. It is utterly laughable."
