The barrier seemed to open up for Little Yuan’er without any resistance at all.

Only the Feather tribesmen were shocked.

The others, who were used to it, even sat down and chatted.

…

After Little Yuan’er entered the upper core, she discovered, similar to the others, that the interior was like the vast universe.

She raised her fair hands and looked at the back of her hand. Then, she waved her hands around her, hoping to touch the great laws. She muttered, “Senior sister said that those who have been acknowledged by the Pillars of Destruction will definitely sense the great laws as long as they’re focused.”

Little Yuan’er flew back and forth in the starry sky, but she did not feel anything at all. It was empty.

Before this, Little Yuan’er had spoken to her senior brothers and senior sisters. All of them had spoken to her about their experiences and had even given her advice before she comprehended the Great Dao.

Everyone had high expectations for Little Yuan’er. They also did not doubt that she would be able to comprehend the Great Dao and a great law.

…

After about two hours, a loud noise resounded in the air.

Everyone looked over.

The Feather tribesmen flew closer to the upper core to observe the minute changes of the upper core.

Suddenly, one of the Feather tribesmen’s expression turned grim and fearful. He said in surprise, “Leader, it’s begun to crack!”

“What?”

The leader of the Feather tribesmen was most afraid of this happening. He had heard the news of the shattering of various upper cores in the Great Void and the eventual fall of the Great Void. The Pillar of Destruction at the Great Abyss Land was the strongest pillar. Not only did it hold the Great Void up, but it also held the fate of the Feather tribe. If it was destroyed, it would be over for the Feather tribe.

The leader of the Feather tribesmen gently touched the crack on the upper core with a trembling hand. Then, he quickly said, “Report this to Emperor Yu!”

“Understood!”

Such an important matter naturally needed to be reported to Emperor Yu before any decision could be made.

The Feather tribesman was about to leave to look for Emperor Yu when Chi Biaonu suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chi Biaonu stood with his hands on his back and said calmly, “There’s no need for that.”

The Feather tribesman was stunned and puzzled. He did not know what Chi Biaonu wanted to do so he became very nervous. He could only turn to look at his leader in the end.

The leader of the Feather tribesmen was puzzled as well. He did not understand why Chi Biaonu did not want them to report to Emperor Yu. He asked, “What’s the meaning of this, Your Majesty?”

“Nothing,” Chi Biaonu said tonelessly, “That little girl has already entered the upper core. There’s no need to report to Emperor Yu. With me and the other three divine emperors here, nothing will go wrong.”

“But…” The leader of the Feather tribesmen hesitated.

“There’s no ‘but’,” Chi Biaonu said, “Didn’t you say Emperor Yu isn’t feeling well?”

“Alright. We’ll do as Your Majesty said,” the leader of the Feather tribesmen said after he thought about it for a moment. Then, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to return to his original position.

Subsequently, the leader of the Feather tribesmen continued to observe the upper core.

After Chi Biaonu returned to the others, he scoffed and asked, “What do you think Emperor Yu is thinking?”

Ling Weiyang laughed. “Chi Biaonu, this is the first time I agree with your actions.”

Shang Zhang said, “With the cooperation of the ten halls of the Great Void and the Sacred Temple, most of the owners of the Great Void Seeds have already comprehended the Great Dao. How can the Great Abyss Land be the exception?”

Chi Biaonu nodded. “No wonder Emperor Yu did not put up a fight. He knows this as well.”

Bai Zhaoju said with a smile, “That little girl is very lucky to have four divine emperors standing guard for her while she comprehends the Great Dao. With four of us here, who would dare to stop her?”

Si Wuya cupped his fists at the four divine emperors and said, “I thank the four divine emperors on my Ninth Junior Sister’s behalf.”

“You’re welcome.”

As soon as these words fell…

Crack!

A distinct cracking noise rang from the upper core.

Everyone looked at the upper core in surprise.

Si Wuya said, “Don’t worry. The upper core will only disappear after Ninth Junior Sister is done comprehending the Great Dao. The cracking only means that her comprehension of the Great Dao is very smooth.”

The other upper cores had already been destroyed in such a manner. How could the others not know?

Everyone looked at the upper core intently, patiently waiting for the next change. Due to how focused they were, it was easier for them to notice subtle changes.

At this moment, Conch saw a faint green mist around the upper core. It was like wisps of smoke of varying sizes. She pointed at it and asked, “What’s that?”

Chi Biaonu exclaimed in surprise, “Vitality energy?”

As the green mist floated up, everyone felt the surging vitality energy.

The surging vitality energy was unlike what they had seen. It was extremely vivid.

As the vitality energy began to spread, tiny plants began to sprout from the dry ground.

The crowd was amazed.

Chi Biaonu asked, “Could it be that the little girl comprehended the law of life?”

Ling Weiyang nodded and said, “Humans can conquer heaven. Although humans’ lives are short, they live forever through their descendants. Who knows? You might be right.”

Suddenly…

Swoosh!

A figure streaked across the mist in the north.

“Someone’s there!” The leader of the Feather tribesmen was shocked.

The four divine emperors naturally saw the figure.

Chi Biaonu asked in a deep voice, “Who dares to trespass into the Great Abyss Land?”

There was no response as the figure vanished from sight.

“I’ll be right back,” Chi Biaonu said angrily. He turned into a shooting star and disappeared from sight.

Ling Weiyang said through voice transmission, “Be careful. Whoever it is might be trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.”

“There are three divine emperors. Don’t tell me three of you can’t even look after a little girl without me around?” Chi Biaonu replied.

Ling Weiyang no longer wanted to talk to Chi Biaonu. He continued to observe the upper core.

At this moment, Si Wuya suddenly said, “It’s Chang Cheng, the remnant ancient Saint slayer!”

Bai Zhaoju asked in surprise, “You recognized it?”

“Although I couldn’t see it clearly, its smell hasn’t changed at all,” Si Wuya explained. He had inherited the Fire Deity’s legacy and knowledge, after all. The Fire Deity was one of the Four Divinities of Heaven so it was not surprising that he knew about Chang Cheng or its scent.

Conch asked curiously, “Are these remnant ancient Saint slayers humans or fierce beasts?”

Si Wuya smiled and explained, “During ancient times, there was very little, if any, distinction between humans and fierce beasts. Many of them look like a hybrid between humans and fierce beasts. For example, Chang Cheng hasthe appearance similar to a human, but it has the tail of a leopard. As time passed, humans began to classify them as fierce beasts.”

“I understand,” Conch said with a slightly unnatural expression on her face. Just imagining the human-fierce beasts hybrids made her uncomfortable. Nonetheless, aesthetics were very subjective. In Chang Cheng’s eye, humans likely looked strange as well.

“Only supreme beings can deal with remnant ancient Saint slayers. Moreover, Chang Cheng isn’t simple,” Bai Zhaoju said.

Everyone nodded.

The Feather tribesmen wanted to say something, but they held back in the end.

After 15 minutes had passed, Chi Biaonu still did not return.

Ling Weiyang said mockingly, “The majestic Scarlet Emperor is taking such a long time just to deal with a beast.”

Bai Zhaoju chuckled. “After all, it’s a remnant ancient Saint slayer. It’s very cunning. If it doesn’t directly confront Chi Biaonu, it’ll take a while for him to find it.”

“If it weren’t for the little girl, I’d also like to experience the might of a remnant ancient Saint slayer,” Ling Weiyang said.

Crack!

A huge crack suddenly appeared on the upper core.

This crack seemed to break the hearts of the Feather tribesmen as well. Their expressions were ones of sorrow and despair as they looked at the upper core.

Suddenly, rays of golden light shot out from the cracks, pushing away the green vitality energy. It did not take long for the wisps of green smoke to disappear.

Suddenly…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shang Zhang, Bai Zhaoju, and Ling Weiyang rose to their feet immediately and looked around.

Bai Zhaoju was the first to speak. He said, “Qi Sheng, protect the little girl. It’s really lively today!”

Ling Weiyang smiled. “It’s been a long time since I saw such a lively scene.”

Shang Zhang chimed in, “Very good! Let the world see the might of a divine emperor before the end of the world.”

In the distant horizon, a mass of shadows appeared.

Countless fierce beasts rushed over. In the middle of the beast was a colorful light that emitted auspicious qi.

“What’s that?” Conch exclaimed.

“Another ancient Saint slayer?” Si Wuya frowned. He was knowledgeable about fierce beasts, and he had also inherited Ling Guang’s knowledge. When he saw the colorful light, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Rumble!

As the fierce beast approached, the sound of the thunder rang in the sky.

The Feather tribesmen were stunned. For many years, no one had dared to invade the Great Abyss Land.

“Quick! Report this to Emperor Yu!”

“Understood!”

At this time, no one stopped the Feather tribesmen.

As for whether Emperor Yu would make an appearance, no one knew.

The three divine emperors flew up into the sky and stood shoulder to shoulder as they looked ahead. They looked extremely dignified and majestic at this moment. At the same time, a huge halo appeared on each of their bodies.

The aura of a divine emperor from the halos caused many beasts to stop in their tracks.

Then, the colorful light in the middle of the fierce beasts dimmed, revealing a figure that shone with light. It was difficult to tell if it was a human or a fierce beast. All kinds of strange beasts with fangs, blue faces, and weird features stood at the sides of the figure.

After a moment, Si Wuya exclaimed in surprise, “Xi Wangmu?!”

At this moment, Si Wuya recalled his master words. His master had said the remnant ancient Saint slayers had suddenly left their mountains and began to move. Moreover, their timing was just right; neither too early nor too late. It was too much of a coincidence; there was definitely something fishy about it.

‘Who’s behind this?’

“Xi Wangmu? Another remnant ancient Saint slayer?”

“Xi Wangmu has a humanoid figure. It has the tails and fangs of a tiger; its roar is also like that of a tiger. Its hair is shaggy. It’s said that it wields the power of life and death and metes out punishment,” Si Wuya said.

The Great Void was vast. Although the ten halls of the Great Void and the Sacred Temple ruled the Great Void, it did not mean there were no other powerful beings.

A gentle breeze blew over, carrying with it the vitality energy from the upper core. It agitated the fierce beasts immediately when it swept over them. Fortunately, the three divine emperors’ halos restrained them, making them afraid to move.

After a long time, Shang Zhang finally asked, “What brings the goddess of Mount Yu, Xi Wangmu, to the Great Abyss Land?”

Xi Wangmu was calm. It was born with a noble aura that contradicted its appearance. It looked at the upper core for a moment. When it saw the crack and the golden light, it said, “The pillar at the Great Abyss Land cannot fall.”

Shang Zhang said calmly, “You’re from ancient times, and you’re also the ruler of a mountain. However, whether the pillar falls or not isn’t for you to decide.”

“That’s why I brought my troops here,” Xi Wangmu said as she rose to her feet and raised her hand.

The fierce beasts roared in unison.

The wind surged and the thunder rumbled as the banners of war fluttered.

With just a single command, the army of fierce beasts would charge forth.

Shang Zhang said tonelessly, “Everyone says that Xi Wangmu is a goddess, capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. However, if that’s not the case, then I won’t be polite.”

Bai Zhaoju looked at Xi Wangmu and the countless fierce beasts and said in a clear voice, “This is heaven’s will. It’s not something you and I can resist. Accept your fate.”

Crack!

The upper core cracked completely, and the golden light shot into the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked at the golden light.

Little Yuan’er’s eyes were closed, and her arms were open. She was bathed in the golden light. A small golden lotus shone between her brows.

The invisible power of the law was like a storm within the range of the upper core. It raged violently.

Then…

Boom!

The Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction began to shake.

With the upper core as the starting point, an unprecedentedly huge crack split downward to the ground accompanied by a thunderous sound.

The three divine emperors, Xi Wangmu, Si Wuya, Conch, the Feather tribesmen, and the fierce beasts looked at the cracked ground in shock.

Then, the huge crack began to multiply and spread in all directions. They spread 10 miles, 100 miles, 1,000 miles, 10,000 miles… and they continued to spread at lightning speed into the distance.
