Legend of Swordsman

Furthermore, wild beasts at the level of Seventh Tribulation wouldn’t dare venture into the Sixteen Qingchao Kingdoms.

Beasts at that level were treasures in themselves and would be hunted down if discovered.

They wouldn’t dare covet human territories.

“It’s not a wild beast either. Its power is very strange, something I’ve never seen before, and its divine power carries a bloody scent. If I’m not mistaken, those fallen experts were all absorbed by it. It has forged its divine power from the blood essence of countless cultivators!” The voice of Queen Yun Zhi trembled slightly.

What she had seen during the reversal of time clearly made her very apprehensive.

Hearing about the blood-colored power, Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed in surprise. “Blood-colored power!”

“Hmm?” Queen Yun Zhi looked at Jian Wushuang. “You know about the blood-colored power?”

Surprised, Jian Wushuang took a breath and thought of something terrifying.

He directly stated his purpose for coming, “To be honest, I came to find the Empress because of the blood-colored power, and I think I know who the culprit behind the destruction of Yue Kingdom is!”

At this moment, he remembered the beetle he had once sealed in the blood-colored altar.

It contained blood-colored power, but at that time, it wasn’t much of a threat and he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Later, he visited the Shi Kingdom, and the massacre at the mansion happened just when he was preparing for the Sacred Assembly, so he didn’t investigate deeply.

Only now did he realize.

The culprit behind the mansion massacre and the destruction of Yue Kingdom was likely that beetle.

With no bottlenecks, the blood-colored power alone could infinitely enhance it.

However, back then, the blood-colored power was too scarce. It could increase divine power by a couple hundred thousand units, but more than that was unimaginable.

Even if the beetle had devoured all the blood-colored power, it shouldn’t have become powerful enough to destroy the entire Yue Kingdom!

After hearing the words of Queen Yun Zhi, he understood that the beetle could devour the blood essence of cultivators, which is the essence of divine power.

Imagine a regular cultivator at the First Tribulation level, who, after devouring tens of thousands of Emperors, reaches the Second Tribulation level, and then starts devouring First Tribulation level cultivators.

In a few years, it could grow to a terrifying extent.

Now, having devoured an entire nation’s experts, it might have reached the peak of the Seventh Tribulation level.

“It’s not too late!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes gleamed with killing intent. This was a significant threat that needed to be dealt with promptly.

Although it wouldn’t threaten him for the time being, it would definitely pose a threat to the entire Northern Spacetime in the future.

Infinite growth—this couldn’t be allowed.

It was more terrifying than Chi Jiuxiao.

He couldn’t accept it.

And with the thought of Ye Lingxiao being taken away, he couldn’t help but think along these lines.

If the powerful being behind this was that beetle, then it was over.

Inside Ye Lingxiao’s body, there was an endless supply of blood-red power.

Even for a super powerful figure like the Blood Demon Hall Master, this power would be a great help. If the beetle absorbed it, he would no longer be a match for it.

Speaking of which, it was all his own fault.

Back then, he had destroyed the Chen family, attracting the strong of the Yue Kingdom’s royal family to investigate, and then, by a twist of fate, he obtained that damned insect.

Although it had increased his divine power significantly, it had now brought about such a threat, endangering the entire Northern Spacetime.

Queen Yun Zhi, seeing Jian Wushuang’s tense expression, comforted him, “Don’t worry. Over the years, I have been constantly observing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and even other spacetime realms. Nothing like what happened in the Yue Kingdom has occurred again. Any Sixth Tribulation experts who died mysteriously, I kept an eye on. That terrifying entity should not have appeared again!”

“Perhaps it doesn’t care about those practitioners anymore,” Jian Wushuang voiced his speculation.

Maybe the beetle found that absorbing practitioners yielded too little blood-red power, so it chose to hide and seek the source of the blood-red power instead.

Upon hearing his words, Queen Yun Zhi’s eyes flickered as she frowned and said, “You came to find Fengchen to investigate the blood-red power?”

“Yes!” Jian Wushuang nodded, “I have a friend with a blood-red Origin Source who was just taken away!”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Fengchen!” Knowing the gravity of the situation, Yun Zhi wrapped Jian Wushuang with her Thought power, ready to tear through space.

However, Jian Wushuang proactively tore through space and said, “Your Majesty, give me the coordinates. I’m faster!”

“Very well!” Yun Zhi dispersed her power and was enveloped by Jian Wushuang’s Thought power. In an instant, they left the Daughter Kingdom.

Turning to look at the young man beside her, in the blink of an eye, he had already surpassed her, causing a strange feeling in her heart.

The location of Empress Fengchen was actually not far from the Ancient Wood Continent.

It was in the gap between the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

This was the so-called Outer Domain Jian Wushuang always mentioned.

Secret realms and cave heavens were everywhere.

However, those secret realms were all owned by someone.

Inside them were either the Origin Source Universes of Universe Masters or trial grounds for certain families.

The place Jian Wushuang and Yun Zhi were heading to was a spacetime secret realm.

It was very famous in the entire Ancient Moon Spacetime.

That place was a realm where even experts at the Sixth Tribulation and Seventh Tribulation ventured, and occasionally, some experts at the Eighth Tribulation would also visit.

“Qixuan Domain!”

Seven-colored lights swirled around, forming a super-secret realm.

It contained countless treasures.

Formed during the fall of Ancient Moon Spacetime, this secret realm encompassed countless sect ruins, with some treasures useful even to Universe Masters floating on the periphery.

And it had persisted for ages.

Even an eight-star sect would struggle to conquer it, because inside there was a chaotic Origin Source.

Only a peak Eighth Tribulation Universe Master could suppress this secret realm, but doing so would result in backlash, making it a high cost no one was willing to bear.

It remained unclaimed, attracting strong practitioners from nearby continents to explore it.

In the Outer Domain, survival below the Tribulation realm was difficult, so when Jian Wushuang once claimed he was wandering in the Outer Domain, many were surprised!

And now, before him was one of the most dangerous secret realms in the outer realms, the Qixuan Domain.

Stronger than this were the spacetime secret realms nurtured within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

A Sixth Tribulation Universe Master would fall at the core of the Qixuan Domain, a Seventh Tribulation expert would be injured, and some restrictions could even trap Eighth Tribulation experts.

Previously, Jian Wushuang would only dare to observe such a secret realm from afar.

But now, there was nothing here that could trap him.

If only the pyramid were here, with one black hole-level attack, he could shatter the Qixuan Domain.

“In the inner area!” Approaching the Qixuan Domain, Jian Wushuang instantly locked onto Empress Fengchen’s location, “Seems she’s in quite a bit of trouble!”

After pinpointing the location, he ignored any prohibitions and forcefully broke through.

This scene terrified the Tribulation realm experts on the periphery.

“A big shot!”

“The prohibitions here can’t be broken by a Sixth Tribulation expert, and yet someone dares to force their way in. He must be a Seventh Tribulation expert!”
