The Golden Scale Transformation Blade strikes, but the Immortal Tower's Ancient Mirror intervenes, siphoning the Primordial Spirit of Golden Punishment Venerable. The physical body is then attacked by various forces, including the Corpse Demon, Old Monster Tianku, and the Star Giant. Amidst the chaos, Golden Punishment Venerable's body is split in two, and its Primordial Spirit escapes. Luo Chen seizes a portion of the physical body and retreats, while the Corpse Demon attempts to pursue but is blocked by the Master of Wuyou Realm.

The Corpse Demon Fire raged, "Are you truly going to be my enemy for that guy?"

The Master of Wuyou Realm shook his head, "Not being your enemy, but considering the bigger picture."

As he spoke, he gestured for the Corpse Demon to look around.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, cries of anguish resonating.

Of the more than a hundred Martial Arts Human Immortals, the number still alive now was less than ten or twelve.

The battle was extremely brutal.

Especially that Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Mother Hall, which was also in turmoil, emitting stream after stream of milky white air.

Finally!

The Master of Wuyou Realm pointed at himself and the Corpse Demon’s bodies.

Above them, the Golden Light persisted like bone creeping maggots, lingering endlessly.

That was the most powerful attack unleashed by the Golden Punishment Venerable—Golden Punishment!

Even though this strike was suppressed to the extreme by the Returning Ruins World, and even though the power was scattered into hundreds of portions, it still caused injuries to them, the Annihilation Kings.

"In the current situation, manpower is already insufficient, and we have consumed greatly as well. If you insist on continuing the battle, Luo Chen is not a mediocre opponent; you saw that punch, right?"

The Corpse Demon’s face showed some unnaturalness, with a look of dread in his eyes.

The Master of Wuyou Realm continued, "Your battle with him, who wins and who loses is hard to say, but it’s very likely you both end up injured. If such a situation occurs, how can we control the Divine Mother Hall, how can we leave the Returning Ruins?"

Not waiting for the Corpse Demon to oppose, he lifted into the void.

The terrifying head of the Golden Punishment Venerable flew to the front.

"Although we didn’t successfully hunt the Mahayana True Spirit, at least we gained most of the physical body. The remaining Power of Law upon it, along with the Divine Mother Hall, gives us a great chance to leave. Do you really want to disregard the current situation?"

The Corpse Demon fell silent.

Just then, another battle came to an end.

The Heavenly Xuan Constellations and Old Monster Tianku came flying over, each carrying a portion of the Golden Punishment Venerable’s body.

Though their breath was extremely weak, their spirits were exceedingly good.

They did not engage in a deadly battle, but after a simple exchange, they decided to split the body equally through verbal communication.

Faced with the situation of the Corpse Demon not snatching Luo Chen, although surprised, they didn’t question, and instead began discussing the next actions.

The overall situation was unavoidable, and the Corpse Demon ultimately held back.

The Master of Wuyou Realm looked in the direction Luo Chen left, exhaled a breath of relief.

The former kindness exchanged for Luo Chen’s critical strike that broke the stalemate, considered a clear balance of favors.

The road ahead, only each to cherish their own journey.

"Daoist Friend Luo Chen, I hope one day we can meet outside!"

...

At the exit of the Ancient God Dojo.

A physical body over Three Thousand Feet in length crashed to the ground.

Its scales were gone, leaving skin torn and flesh exposed, bone and blood distinct.

Moreover, strands of starlight flowed across it, growing dimmer as it moved farther from its master.

Such a massive object could not be stored with just a storage ring.

Luo Chen held the Yuan Tu Sword, opened his mouth, and a gray miniature Cauldron flew out.

The Small Tripod spun in the air, casting a hazy grey light, enveloping the body that resembled a dragon or python, then pulling it in ten feet by ten feet.

The entire process was effortless.

Witnessing this, Luo Chen wasn’t surprised at all.

Before ascension, he refined three Fifth Rank Divine Mountains into the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Among them was the Mi Realm Mountain of South Border!

As Mi Realm Mountain itself contained countless space nodes, it was inherently the strongest spatial treasure in the world.

After absorbing it, the Primordial Chaos Tripod similarly gained such effects.

The basic storage function, naturally, was no issue.

"Hoo..."

Opening his mouth, the Small Tripod transformed into a little black dot, returning to his body.

Luo Chen looked back at the Ancient God Dojo.

Too far away now to see the battlefield situation.

But across the sky, space cracks resembling centipedes were shockingly visible.

"Even the most stable space gap, under such fierce battle as just now, eventually heads toward destruction."

"They don’t have much time left."

"And the time left for me..."

Luo Chen touched his waist and abdomen area.

There, a Golden Light flickered faintly, threatening to bisect his entire body, surrounded by layer upon layer of Blood Refining Divine Gang, yet all blocked by the Golden Light.

The destructive strike of the Golden Punishment Venerable wasn’t easy to resist.

Even though Luo Chen and the others severely injured it, they didn’t gain much advantage.

If the Golden Punishment Venerable hadn’t chosen to abandon its body and escape, but instead chose to stay and fight to the death with them, the final result would be uncertain.

It can only be said, even suppressed by the Returning Ruins World, a Mahayana True Spirit remains a Mahayana True Spirit, not so easily dealt with.

To achieve some gain, aside from strength, the biggest factor was the relentless, crazed resolve of the Returning Ruins Martial Artists.

And for Luo Chen, the biggest harvest of this journey might not be the portion of the Golden Punishment Venerable’s body, but...

"The complete Power of Law, indeed allows detachment from the Returning Ruins restraints!"

The presence of Golden Punishment Venerable signifies free access!

And Luo Chen also possesses the complete Power of Laws!

That is the Primordial Chaos Tripod!

After taking one last look at the Ancient God Dojo, Luo Chen put away the Yuan Tu Sword and decisively stepped onto the stone platform, turning to leave.

...

Mo Feng City!

As one of the border cities in the Great Destruction Realm, though a bitter cold land, it thrived in the past due to several distinctive mineral resources.

But after many years, it has become dilapidated.

The long streets are devoid of any human shadow.

The originally tall and sturdy city walls have somehow collapsed more than halfway.

Suddenly, a celestial wind swept through, followed by thin mist slowly surging.

Within the mist, there’s a faint and terrifying sound of low roars and howls.

Suddenly!

Several streaks of blood light appeared, and those low roars and howls vanished in an instant.

Then, a human figure emerged from the thin mist.

In white attire, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his handsome face displayed subtle traces of wind and frost.

Looking back at the road he came from, now obscured by thin mist, Luo Chen’s expression was extremely stern.

"The era is approaching, the Destruction Mist is now visible everywhere, ordinary people cannot survive."

Ten years!

It took him a full ten years to cross the vast Returning Ruins from the Ancient God Dojo and return to the Great Destruction Realm.

This speed is significantly slower compared to when he first traveled.

This is not due to the injuries on Luo Chen’s body.

The blow from Golden Punishment Venerable indeed caused him unbearable pain, and he hasn’t managed to completely eradicate it even now.

But it didn’t hinder his normal traveling.

What really impeded him was the increasingly harsh environment of the Returning Ruins.

The constant blowing celestial winds, the frequent space cracks, the Earth Fire Evil Qi erupting everywhere, and even the Soul-shaking Thunder Sound, the icy Ghost Rain, and the increasingly pervasive Destruction Mist.

All this has become the norm in the Returning Ruins now.

Even someone as strong as Luo Chen does not dare to ignore it.

Upon hearing the sound of low roars and howls echoing once again from within the mist, Luo Chen frowned and cursed.

"Troublesome!"

Those Fog Beasts, seemingly weak to him, are extremely troublesome.

Because as long as the mist remains, the Fog Beasts will continuously respawn and resurrect, almost impossible to eliminate.

One could imagine when the Destruction Mist engulfs the entire Returning Ruins, all creatures within will suffer sieges by the Fog Beasts.

I really don’t know how these things are formed?

Luo Chen no longer has the mood to investigate; his urgent priority is to return to Wuyou City.

The deeper he penetrates into the Great Destruction Realm, the more apparent the situation of the Seventy-two Cities becomes.

The outer cities, like Mo Feng City, have gradually been abandoned by people.

While the inner cities, though teeming with people, are also filled with terror.

Everyone hides beneath the fortress city just to survive.

When he arrived at Wuyou City, he witnessed the most common and ugliest aspect of human nature.

Arguments, internal strife, wanton burning, killing, and plundering.

Only the Fang Clan Territory offers a semblance of tranquility.

"This is probably the reason Fang Qingxue stayed behind!"

Thanks to the influence of the Martial Arts Human Immortal, people remain wary, providing the Fang clan members with their last period of peace.

Luo Chen did not intervene in the chaos, choosing to turn a blind eye.

He headed straight to the Nine-layered Immortal Tower outside.

Layer after layer of chaotic energy spewed from the Immortal Tower.

Even the Destruction Mist couldn’t get close.

The situation was far more dangerous than before.

The chaotic energy leaking externally was so immense, one could only imagine how overwhelming it is internally.

Who knows how many martial artists are still alive and cultivating inside?

Luo Chen immediately sat cross-legged, spreading the Martial Arts Divine Intent.

Simultaneously, at the Array Core of the Nine-layered Immortal Tower, another "Luo Chen" holding the Golden Corrosion Array Map also opened his eyes.

He pointed a finger at the array map and uttered softly.

"Open!"

In an instant, the ground shook and the light burst forth.

The outside Luo Chen rose, forcibly entering the Nine-layered Immortal Tower against the chaotic energy surge.

Right at that moment.

All martial artists still alive in the Annihilation Nine Rings felt a vast and familiar consciousness emerge.

"He’s back!"
