C2332 The Exploration of the Foreign Land

Beilstein's words and actions were visible to the powerhouses on the other end through the eye.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Strands of black and green soul threads converged deep within the eye, striving to refine a soul body in a brief span of time.

The old devil's abrupt emergence, using an exotic artifact to bypass the Myriad Spirit Restriction, had evidently shaken him.

"Hey!"

In the distant Chaos Abyss, the old devil conversed with Zhiya and Lin Daoke. His deep purple Demonic Pupil seemed to traverse the vast cosmos in an instant, casting its gaze upon everyone present.

The old devil's visage magnified a million-fold, nearly filling the entire black and green eye!

Puff!

The specter he had painstakingly condensed burst under the pressure of the old devil's enlarged image, erasing all traces of his soul strands here.

Loong Jie, Barol, Lvliu, Yuan Lianyao, and the rest felt as though the old devil was watching them from the real Chaos Abyss with a sly grin.

Loong Jie was dumbfounded and blurted out, "He's become too terrifying!"

The sentiment resonated with everyone.

Beilstein's emergence in the real Chaos Abyss, effortlessly destroying an unmanifested ghost, evoked both familiarity and strangeness.

His appearance, smile, and grandeur were recognizable, yet his newfound formidable power was alien to them.

Atop Creation Peak, the four great origin spirits felt intimidated by Beilstein. The Thunderbolt Origin Spirit, having possessed Qi Yunhong, spoke with a bitter tone, "His spiritual consciousness may not be able to refine itself again."

Mother Earth, with a stern face, declared, "He won't be so easily dealt with!"

"Let's hope that's the case."

The World Tree whispered in agreement.

These individuals, once tormented by the Origin Soul in the seven-layered illusory abyss, were acutely aware of its might and ruthlessness.

Yet now, they found themselves wishing for the Origin Soul to emerge, to confront Beilstein, freshly returned from the foreign realm, in a decisive battle.

"Yu Yuan, it's time for you to head to the Creation Continent!"

Beilstein, still ensconced in the real abyss, called out towards the Myriad Spirit Restriction in the void and gestured with a wave of his hand.

His shadow in the Desolate Realm mimicked the movement, echoing the same words to the Demon Phoenix and Lin Daoke.

He was well aware that Yu Yuan and everyone in the Desolate Realm could see his every move and hear each word he uttered.

"No need to hurry."

Yu Yuan's Yang God, stationed here to protect the Origin Realm, replied with a serene expression.

The old demon nodded, then turned to address the Demon Phoenix and Lin Daoke, "Others may be indifferent to your fate, but I am not, because both of you hail from the Origin Realm."

He gazed at Zhiya and Lin Daoke with a look of anguish, as if beholding two priceless treasures, and declared, "I consider the Origin Realm my own domain. You are my personal assets! After years of cultivating the Origin Realm, I've only managed to produce a handful of exceptional individuals. I cannot allow you to perish!"

"You are meant to dazzle in another world, to stand as representatives of my Origin Realm and earn renown across the Outland Star River!"

Whoosh!

Wrapped in Beilstein's blood-red cloak, they became engulfed in a crimson sea, enveloping both Zhiya and Lin Daoke.

"I'm taking you out."

Beilstein replicated the process, using the power of the Chaos Orb in his chest to disrupt the Origin Spirit Laws within the Myriad Spirit Restriction.

Like a towering blood-red waterfall, he breached the eleven layers of confinement and reemerged in the world above the Chaos Abyss.

With a flick of his blood-red cloak, the groggy Zhiya and Lin Daoke found their footing on the wings of a vibrant butterfly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The remnants of the abyss's wild and disordered energy immediately rushed toward them.

"Your Origin Realm?"

Zhiya's gaze was icy as her wings emitted a dazzling divine radiance, engulfing the celestial powers. She began to diminish in size.

Before long, she transformed into a stunning human form and said with a scowl, "The Origin Realm has never belonged to anyone in my eyes! Beilstein, your time has long since passed. Spare me your grandiose claims."

"Hahaha!"

Far from being upset, the old demon threw back his head and laughed heartily, "I see you're still not up to speed. The version of me you've encountered is presently in the Gal Starfield within the Desolate Realm."

He gestured to his chest, likely indicating the Chaos Orb's location, and continued, "This version of me has just returned from abroad. You two have been so fixated on your struggle in the true abyss, too obstinate to realize that the world outside has been turned upside down while you've been battling."

Upon hearing these words, Zhiya and Lin Daoke were taken aback, left speechless for quite some time.

Beilstein chuckled and shook his head, adding, "If you, little Demon Phoenix, don't agree with this, feel free to challenge me when you're at the height of your power. Oh, and don't forget to bring your little Origin Beast with you, or you won't stand a chance."

"You too."

His gaze shifted to Lin Daoke as he continued, "Whoever defeats me, I will willingly relinquish my title as the Master of the Origin Realm."

"And what about Yu Yuan?"

Lin Daoke interjected suddenly.

"Yu Yuan? He'll be the Master of the Desolate Realm. We have no quarrel," Beilstein replied.

The old demon's smile faded as he solemnly declared, "Both of you hail from the Boundless Great World. You are among the most esteemed figures of the Origin Realm. You've earned the privilege to return to our ancestral land with me."

"Let's go," he commanded the vibrant butterfly beneath him.

One wing of the butterfly bore the traveler returning from distant lands, while the other supported Zhiya and Lin Daoke. The butterfly's wings fluttered gently, stirring a powerful breeze, and in an instant, they were transported to the Cold Domain, now devoid of its barriers. Before their eyes, a series of radiant lights flickered, with stars, suns, and moons expanding and contracting. Space itself seemed to warp and fold, creating a tapestry of overlapping waves and ripples.

These two formidable beings, born of the Boundless Great World and at odds with each other, were aware that the butterfly was swiftly nearing the Gray Domain. In a mere moment, they had traversed the expanse of an entire Starfield.

...

In the Desolate Realm, the thirty-six Chaos Abysses ceased their rotations. With the destruction of their soul threads, no consciousness remained to govern this place. The image of Beilstein, aboard the butterfly with Zhiya and Lin Daoke, journeying towards the Boundless Great World, vanished from the depths of the dark green eyes.

All eyes were fixed on Yu Yuan's Yang God, awaiting his decision.

"Is there a chance your true form might encounter danger in the foreign realms?" inquired the Light Origin Spirit.

"Not at all," Yu Yuan replied with a smile, shaking his head. "Teacher, if one can effortlessly navigate the thirty-six worlds of the foreign realm, then let the deities there be the ones to fret."

"Then, my true form in the foreign realm must be unbeatable as well."

He decided to wait for his true form to return before making any decisions.

...

In the foreign realm.

His true form had just materialized in an unfamiliar world when he encountered a small Origin Beast clutching the massive carcass of a creature with eight arms and a single eye.

The physique and features of this foreign being were identical to those of the Destruction God, Galuba, clearly indicating they were from the same race.

"Another Eight-armed Heavenly King from the One-eyed Tribe has fallen!"

Amidst the cacophony reminiscent of a mountain torrent, Yu Yuan witnessed numerous One-eyed Tribe warriors, akin to Galuba but with varying numbers of arms, lifelessly adrift in the void.

Galuba belonged to the One-eyed Tribe they spoke of.

This peculiar One-eyed Tribe assessed combat prowess by the number of arms one possessed. Like Galuba, those devoured by the small Origin Beast were Eight-armed Heavenly Kings of their tribe.

As soon as the small Origin Beast arrived, it unleashed a massacre, turning the realm into a bloodbath and leading to the tragic demise of another One-eyed Tribe's Eight-armed Heavenly King.

The small Origin Beast, radiating overwhelming blood energy that struck terror into all beings of this domain, fled upon sighting him, abandoning the remains of the Eight-armed Heavenly King it had been carrying.

It also relinquished the Six-armed and Four-armed One-eyed Tribe warriors it had slain, foregoing its feast.

"Hmm!"

Yu Yuan glanced behind him to discover numerous springs, each connecting to different worlds.

Swoosh!

Out of one spring, a familiar figure emerged.

"Yu Yuan!"

He called out to Yu Yuan and then, with a beaming smile, asked, "So, has the Great Demon God Beilstein convinced you to come here and see for yourself, to verify the truth of his words?"

The newcomer was none other than the Space-time Dragon, Zhong Chichen!

Zhong Chichen's presence and level had significantly increased since he vanished, though he had not yet ascended to the Supreme Realm.

"Have you been here this whole time?" Yu Yuan asked, astonished.

"No, I was just in the Void Domain. I heard alarming news of a vicious creature invading this place and came to check it out." Zhong Chichen squinted as he noticed the small Origin Beast's escape and the numerous One-eyed Tribe corpses strewn about.
