The most feared thing is sudden silence.

  The cascading origin waterfall roared deafeningly, like thunder in every ear, plucking every heartstring.

  Many opened their mouths, speechless.

  Watching the two figures vanish behind the origin waterfall, many wore strange expressions.

  Du Longyang watched Ni Yu and Ning Zhao disappear, expressionless, yet somehow his face hurt.

  Thinking of their earlier grim vigilance, he suddenly found it amusing in hindsight.

  “So… you just avoid the gray river?”

  Ye Shoudao’s lips twitched, unsure what to say.

  So this immortal relic was that simple?

  The gray river was indeed terrifying, it could sever lifespan, a nightmare.

  But as Ning Zhao and Ni Yu demonstrated, just dodge it.

  Why clash head-on with something so horrifying?

  Everyone felt their intelligence rubbed into the ground.

  They had all fallen into a mental blind spot.

  Many opened their mouths, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

  Mo Tianyu stopped pulling his hair, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

  So… his divination had not changed.

  His heart ached a little.

  He only wanted to be a normal diviner.

  Soon, he burst into laughter.

  “Hahaha! We couldn’t see this mountain’s true face because we were inside it!”

  Mo Tianyu laughed until he wheezed.

  As though mocking everyone.

  Next moment, robes fluttering, he shot toward the origin waterfall.

  Not just him.

  After a brief silence, Overlord, Nie Changqing, and others moved.

  Knowing the method, everyone boiled over.

  Golden Body Fortune Fruits on the tree were limited!

  Everyone’s breathing quickened, charging like madmen.

  Especially Tianyuan Nascent Soul experts.

  Many Nascent Souls neared the end of their lifespan, normal cultivation offered no breakthrough.

  Now, Golden Body Fortune Fruits gave hope.

  They would not give them up.

  The life force entwined around the fruits was irresistible.

  Before true treasure, benevolence and righteousness were nonsense.

  BOOM!

  Figures tore through the origin waterfall.

  A strange sensation instantly enveloped every body.

  Time seemed to freeze, movement became difficult.

  The gray River of Time surged again, carrying terrifying and profound aura.

  Many stared warily at the river that even holy land lords could not resist.

  They could only dodge!

  Figures shifted, many evaded, truly dodging the gray river with ease.

  “Look! What is that?!”

  After dodging, someone looked up.

  Pupils shrank.

  Above the sky, a massive sundial hung.

  Strange sundial suspended above everyone like a blade!

  Tick… tick…

  The clear sound of time flowing.

  Someone looked back through the origin waterfall.

  Outside, people seemed frozen in place.

  What was happening?

  “Time… this is the power of time!”

  Someone roared, voice trembling with fear.

  BOOM!

  The Golden Body Fortune Tree blazed with light.

  Overlord charged, but Tianyuan Nascent Souls blocked.

  Before fortune fruits, they overcame fear of No-Summit Peak’s Witch!

  Overlord roared, demonic qi surging, punching a Nascent Soul.

  Aura clashed in the immortal relic.

  BOOM!

  Terrifying auras descended.

  Du Longyang, Ye Shoudao, and other Yin Spirit experts.

  They dodged the River of Time, rapidly approaching the Golden Body Fortune Fruits.

  Ni Yu and Ning Zhao each ate one, sitting beneath the tree refining.

  Their bodies glowed golden.

  BOOM!

  Ning Zhao’s skin like jade, radiating immortal light, breathtakingly beautiful.

  She broke through!

  Her realm shattered its barrier, reaching Nine Extreme Heavenly Lock!

  And more, she continued pushing!

  Ni Yu also glowed, the fruit’s effect even more dramatic for her.

  After countless Body Tempering Pills, energy accumulated in her flesh.

  The Golden Body Fortune Fruit acted as a catalyst, unleashing it all.

  “Oh~”

  Ni Yu opened her eyes, essence qi pouring from nose and mouth.

  Somewhat bewildered, she covered her mouth.

  Then her body thundered like explosive lightning.

  BOOM!

  Heavenly Lock shattered instantly!

  Spine like a dragon, blood vitality surging, shaking the air.

  Nie Changqing, Jing Yue, and others looked over in shock.

  Little Ni… Heavenly Lock already?

  But that was just the beginning.

  Ni Yu’s cultivation continued breaking through.

  First Extreme, Second Extreme…

  Ni Yu glowed as though made of gold.

  With Body Tempering Pills’ effects, she… felt like flying!

  Everyone stared in shock.

  “This divine fruit’s effect… is terrifying.”

  Many roared.

  Next moment, eyes red.

  True divine fruit!

  Ni Yu reached Five Extreme Heavenly Lock before slowing.

  Her entire body golden.

  Ning Zhao was wreathed in ice crystals.

  She too broke through…

  Her spine roared like a dragon, Nine Extreme Heavenly Lock, the limit.

  Energy surged upward, forming a small figure above her head.

  Nascent Soul!

  Ning Zhao was charging Nascent Soul!

  One Golden Body Fortune Fruit created infinite fortune!

  The world boiled!

  No one paid attention to Ni Yu and Ning Zhao.

  Everyone shot toward the divine tree, eyes red.

  Fruits were limited, no one would fall behind.

  Ye Shoudao took one, no one could stop him. Yin Spirit realm reigned supreme.

  One fruit swallowed, immense energy surged.

  Ye Shoudao’s eyes blazed.

  Powerful life force instantly spread through his body.

  His arm slashed by the River of Time rapidly healed, even old injuries recovered.

  “This is an immortal fruit?!”

  Ye Shoudao was stunned.

  Such divine fruit existed!

  Du Longyang and the Empress also seized fruits, swallowed them, sat beneath the tree cultivating.

  Rumble!

  Yin Spirit cultivation caused massive reactions, the void trembling.

  Meanwhile, the fight for fruits continued!

  Overlord seized one despite Nascent Soul obstruction.

  Nie Changqing tried, but Tianyuan Nascent Souls were unwilling.

  Fruits limited, naturally for Nascent Souls. What use for mere Golden Core?

  Waste!

  They blocked Nie Changqing.

  Nie Changqing’s face cold, white robes fluttering.

  “Has my blade, Nie Changqing, been sheathed so long the world forgot its edge?”

  Soft laughter.

  Next moment, he drew Dragon Slayer from his waist.

  Sonic boom, dragon roar.

  Overbearing blade qi and intent erupted!

  BOOM!

  Like a tide, a minor accomplishment Nascent Soul trying to block lost an arm, blood spraying.

  Only then did people remember, Nie Changqing was no fallen genius, a true disciple of White Jade Capital!

  Golden Body Fortune Fruits were taken one by one.

  The divine tree gradually dimmed.

  Soon, fruits were gone.

  Those who obtained them gained great fortune, cultivation soaring.

  Jing Yue broke through!

  He opened his eyes, sword qi shooting skyward.

  Heavenly Lock like a dragon, roaring sharply.

  At that moment, Jing Yue entered Nascent Soul!

  Nie Changqing too, a Nascent Soul of sharp blade light formed above his head.

  …

  Those without fruits were heartbroken.

  But soon, someone noticed essence energy gathering on the divine tree!

  “The divine tree will bear fruit again!”

  Someone exclaimed.

  Many hearts jolted.

  “But it needs time, unknown how long.”

  Without fruits, many shifted focus to the immortal palace.

  From outside, they had seen immortals chanting, but inside, the palace was cold and dusty.

  No immortals, only treasures left behind!

  BOOM!

  Cultivators without fruits charged the palace, seeking other treasures.

  Immortal pills, immortal fruits, immortal legacies?!

  Any one was irresistible!

  “That’s a Dao Stele?!”

  Someone cried.

  They saw a black stele in the palace depths, wreathed in immortal qi.

  Identical to the Nine Prisons’ stele, yet more profound!

  Many approached, drawn by the stele, sitting cross-legged.

  Bathed in its intent, they began comprehending.

  Some resisted, rushing other palaces.

  Some fell into arrays, gaining strange cultivation legacies in their minds.

  Some were trapped in arrays, undergoing semi-holy artifact recognition trials…

  Countless fortunes, countless heartbeats!

  The immortal relic became every cultivator’s carnival.

  …

  Lu no longer watched the immortal relic.

  He only saw his spiritual energy reserves growing.

  Many were breaking through.

  He shifted, appearing on Golden Body Continent.

  Devastated, experts nearly extinct.

  But that made it urgent for a new plane lord to rise and lead it to glory.

  Origin instinct.

  Thus Lu chose Golden Body Continent; he could not let the origin choose a plane child.

  “Try fusion?”

  Lu entered the origin space.

  Gazing at the massive, energy-rich origin, he pondered.

  Perhaps he should try fusing one first.

  Fusing three supreme Mid-Tier Martial origins at once was too much pressure.

  The thought, once born, could not be suppressed.

  Then… try.

  Lu’s lips curved. No more hesitation.

  He raised a hand, pressing it to the origin.

  The asteroid-sized origin rippled with energy layers.

  BOOM!

  Lu’s mind was struck by colossal force.

  The power of a plane origin!

  …

  BOOM!

  As though a terrifying existence opened its eyes.

  Powerful primordial spirit fluctuations swept.

  Weak Low Martial worlds had life extinguished by the sweep.

  “It has begun… he really moved against Golden Body Continent’s origin!”

  Primordial spirit surged.

  “Truly courting death! Trying to forge a High-Tier Martial world… doing what countless have failed!”

  “Madness has a price!”

  Cold voices echoed.

  “Fuse! When the High-Tier Martial barrier breaks and world protection vanishes… that will be the world’s collapse!”

  “Even… this seat should spread the word. A world about to become High-Tier Martial, what exquisite fortune.”

  Terrifying primordial spirit fluctuations swept like strange sound waves, spreading messages.

  After a long time,

  the great being’s fluctuations calmed.

  Like a patient hunter lurking in darkness, waiting for prey.

  …

  In the endless dark void,

  a cold continent sped.

  Atop it sat the withered elder like dead wood.

  After a long time,

  he slowly opened his eyes.

  “Arrived?”

  His eyes gleamed, impacting the darkness.

  He saw four continents.

  “Four Mid-Tier Martial worlds, three supreme, one top-tier… that bald donkey sent my disciple to break the array for invading the top-tier one?”

  His gaze like vortices, deep as black holes, absorbing light and energy.

  His sight fell on Five Phoenixes.

  A breathtakingly beautiful world.

  Mist-shrouded like a veiled beauty.

  Every glance seductive.

  “What a strange array.”

  He stared at the Heaven Covering Formation, shocked.

  “This old man… cannot see through this array’s profundity?”

  “Where is the array eye?”

  He sat on the cold continent, staring.

  He raised a hand, Array Words appearing, deducing the formation.

  “Ground-tier array!”

  “And no ordinary ground-tier. Depends on the array eye’s strength.”

  Nearly a day later,

  he finished, sweating profusely.

  “Interesting. No wonder A-Jiu failed. Even this old man would need considerable effort.”

  He smiled.

  “And must first find the array eye. Without it, only a stronger ground-tier array could crush it.”

  He inhaled deeply.

  This descendant of Emperor Hao’s bloodline had a High-Tier Martial expert behind him!

  “Dead bald donkey, you cost me a disciple. This grudge… this old man remembers.”

  His cheek twitched coldly.

  Hmm?

  Suddenly,

  his mind stirred, gaze shifting to Golden Body Continent.

  With his powerful primordial spirit, he sensed strange fluctuations in its origin.

  Strong then weak, as though someone was doing something unspeakable.

  He raised withered hands, forming seals.

  Array Words floated before his eyes.

  Brilliant light reflected, piercing the origin space.

  He saw,

  saw the white-clothed youth in a wheelchair seated in Golden Body Continent’s origin space.

  “Oh?”

  His eyes lit up.

  “This old man senses the ‘Lin’ Array Word’s fluctuations on this youth. So… he is Emperor Hao’s descendant?”

  The elder said.

  “Emperor Hao vanished in the River of Time long ago. Finding a bloodline descendant is truly rare.”

  He lamented.

  The Liujia Array Sect’s Nine Array Words were the Emperor’s methods.

  He had studied them all his life, unable to fully master them.

  If he could take this youth as a disciple,

  perhaps he could gain enlightenment from him.

  The thought quickened his breath, heart burning.

  Suddenly,

  observing Lu, the elder’s gaze focused.

  “This is…”

  He was astonished, looking from Five Phoenixes to Golden Body Continent.

  Through the origin space, he saw the two continents’ origins slowly… approaching.

  Fusing origins?

  Top-tier Mid-Tier Martial origin fusing supreme origin?

  Weak fusing strong?

  What insane act?!

  “He wants to forge a High-Tier Martial world from a top-tier Mid-Tier Martial?!”

  “Impossible! Weak origin cannot fuse strong!”

  “Even if successful… eternal damnation.”

  The elder shook his head, disbelieving the youth could succeed.

  BOOM!

  Suddenly,

  the elder on the cold continent stood, utterly shocked.

  His deep eyes shrank.

  Because he saw…

  the two worlds’ origins,

  slowly… fused!
