"Something happened. You know about the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's dojo, right?" Zhang Fan asked, looking at everyone.
"Of course, we know. That's an Immortal Venerable's dojo. Even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage can't get close. The most discussed topic in the war base recently is this Immortal Venerable's dojo. Everyone says that if anyone can obtain the inheritance of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable, they might be able to step into the Dao Integration Immortal King realm," Blood Demon Flood Dragon replied quickly.
"The Jiuyai Star Domain and the Zixiao Star Domain gathered a group of Void Returning stage cultivators to enter the dojo, and I was naturally among them. I obtained the Dao law inheritance of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable. Those cultivators from the Jiuyai Star Domain and the Zixiao Star Domain attacked me, and as a result, I killed more than half of them," Zhang Fan said calmly.
Silence fell upon the crowd for a long time. Blood Demon Flood Dragon finally spoke, "That... Master, how many is 'more than half'?"
"Around seventy to eighty, including three cultivators in the Dao Origin stage."
Having followed Zhang Fan for a long time, they had a certain understanding of the Void Returning stage. Dao Origin stage cultivators stood at the peak of the Void Returning stage. Even so, Zhang Fan had killed three of them?
They remembered that the Lord of the Great Luo World they had entered before was only at the Dao Origin stage.
Of course, that Lord of the Great Luo World cultivated the rare Path of Darkness, and he had reached the peak of the Dao Origin stage, his strength not comparable to ordinary Dao Origin stage cultivators.
"That's too thrilling! Every Void Returning stage expert is a hegemon in their own right. Now that Master has killed nearly a hundred of them, those two star domains must be going mad," Blood Demon Flood Dragon exclaimed excitedly.
Although they were now on the side of the Zixiao Star Domain, they didn't feel any sense of belonging to it.
"Indeed, that's why I must take you away. Such a huge event has occurred, and it will likely affect you as well," Zhang Fan said.
"Where do we go next?" Liu Mu asked.
"The universe is vast, we can go anywhere."
With Zhang Fan's current strength, he could freely roam the starry sky. Even the extremely distant Central Star Domain would not be a problem for him.
Zhang Fan brought everyone into his Immortal Mansion, then took a step forward, disappearing from his original spot and leaving the starry battlefield.
...
The events that occurred at the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's dojo caused a huge shock in both star domains. After all, dozens of Void Returning stage powerhouses had perished. Especially for many families, losing their only Void Returning stage ancestor would cause their family's strength and status to plummet rapidly.
Zi Shan Lingyue also received this news. At first, she didn't dare to believe it. She personally went to the starry battlefield to seek an audience with Immortal King Zhen Cang. After obtaining the answer from Immortal King Zhen Cang, she was stunned.
"Facing the inheritance of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable, even Dao Origin stage powerhouses would find it hard to remain calm. It's not difficult to understand why Zi Shan Kun Ming and Third Uncle attacked Zhang Fan," Zi Shan Lingyue sighed lightly.
Zi Shan Lingyue's feelings were complex. Although Zhang Fan had killed two cultivators in the Opening Realm from their lineage, deep down, she felt that they had brought it upon themselves.
If Zi Shan Kun Ming had not provoked Zhang Fan and had accepted her suggestion to team up with Zhang Fan, this situation might not have occurred.
"This matter has already alarmed the Domain Lord, who has even arranged for a Myriad Things stage expert to investigate Zhang Fan's whereabouts. However, the starry sky is vast, and it is extremely difficult to find someone who intentionally hides themselves. Zhang Fan also took all his followers with him, making it impossible to deduce his traces through the Path of Deduction."
Zi Shan Lingyue's heart trembled. She never expected that even the Domain Lord was paying attention to this matter, and had even assigned a Myriad Things stage expert to track Zhang Fan.
Dao Integration, like Void Returning, was divided into three major realms: Heavenly Evolution Realm, Myriad Things Realm, and Chaos Realm.
Immortal Kings like Liuli Immortal King and Zhen Cang Immortal King, who were stationed at the starry battlefield, were both Heavenly Evolution Realm powerhouses. They had already evolved the inner worlds within their bodies into internal universes. Compared to them, Dao Origin stage cultivators were like clouds and mud.
As for Myriad Things stage powerhouses, the internal universes within their bodies had begun to evolve all things. They were only one step away from achieving a true small universe, needing only to cultivate the power of cosmic chaos. With every move, they possessed the power of a universe. Stars were like marbles before them, easily grasped.
Zhang Fan might have been able to escape from Liuli Immortal King in the Heavenly Evolution Realm, but against a Myriad Things stage expert, he would likely have no power to resist.
...
Zhang Fan naturally knew how great the shock would be in both star domains, but he didn't care at all. His figure flickered through the starry sky, covering dozens of light-years in a single breath. During this journey, he separated a trace of his consciousness and descended into his internal world.
When his internal world was constructed, it had already begun to evolve naturally. The Grand Dao of Time and the Grand Dao of Space had constructed this world spanning ten light-years. This left Zhang Fan himself somewhat amazed.
He recalled that even in his previous life, his initial small world had only spanned one light-year, and the Great Luo World he had entered was less than one light-year in radius.
A small world spanning ten light-years meant that the world power he possessed was a hundred times stronger than cultivators of the same realm. This was also why Zhang Fan, at the Opening Realm, could kill Dao Origin stage powerhouses.
The Grand Dao of Yin and Yang had transformed into the Lunar Star and the Solar Star, allowing this world to experience the change between day and night. The Grand Dao of the Five Elements allowed mountains, rivers, plants, and stones to naturally evolve within the world, giving this internal world the foundation for life to survive.
In the center of this small world, there was a blood-colored giant sword that pierced through heaven and earth. Lightning flashed on the giant sword. This was Zhang Fan's Lightning Sword Dao, and it was also the heart of this world. The residual soul of the Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable lay within the blood-colored giant sword, sleeping and constantly nourished by the power of this world, gradually growing stronger.
"At this rate, it will probably only take a few decades for the internal small world to fully evolve, and then I can condense the Dao Origin," Zhang Fan thought to himself.
The vast cosmic space was divided into four great star domains according to their orientation: the Eastern Star Domain, the Southern Star Domain, the Western Star Domain, and the Northern Star Domain.
The area where Zhang Fan and his companions were located belonged to the Eastern Star Domain. The races in the Eastern Star Domain were primarily humans, followed by demons, and a large number of weaker races and special lifeforms.
In each star domain, there was a Central Star Domain, which was the center of the entire star domain and the convergence point of cosmic ley lines. The number of powerhouses gathered there was countless. This was also Zhang Fan's ultimate destination.
However, he did not head directly to the Central Star Domain. Before going there, Zhang Fan planned to return to the Wushan Star Domain. He had obtained too many cultivation resources during this venture, and his strength had improved greatly. He could now do things he had previously wanted to do but couldn't.
In the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, there were nearly thirty Nascent Soul stage cultivators suppressed by Zhang Fan, over eighty Void Returning stage cultivators, and even three who had reached the Dao Origin stage. These were all cultivation treasures comparable to divine medicines, enough to greatly enhance the cultivation of those around him.
