The Void houses myriad realms, harboring countless stars.

Among them are many mysteries and perilous places.

Located not far from the Mountain and Water Realm, there lies a dangerous place named the Meteorite Sea, stretching countless miles. It is said to be formed from an ancient battle of powerful beings, shattering stars into countless fragments. Inside, numerous meteorites spin at high speeds, posing a catastrophic threat. Additionally, remnants of Great Powers lurk unpredictably.

Even a Mahayana True Immortal would not dare to venture alone into it.

On this day.

A phantom figure, swiftly as wind and fire, plunged straight into the Meteorite Sea and disappeared in a blink. Delving into the Meteorite Sea, one could see that this phantom was actually a majestic city.

However, this city seems minuscule compared to the varying sizes of meteorites surrounding it.

Within the city.

A Daoist revealed himself, standing on the city wall and looking back, he faintly saw two figures landing outside, each pausing momentarily. Then appeared various streams of firelight and yellow light, standing alternately and sealing off thousands of miles around the outer circle of the Meteorite Sea. Should War City re-emerge and exit, it would be detected instantly.

"Are they trying to trap me in the Meteorite Sea?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled, waving his hand casually as hundreds of shields flew out from the city. Counting carefully, there were Celestial Cycle Number of shields. Three hundred sixty-five shields emanated a faint cold light, forming a slightly curved gigantic shield that covered the front, left, and right sides of Dutian City.

It resembled a protective shield, with the top of the shield shaped like a turtle's head.

War City advanced.

From the turtle's mouth and eyes, hundred-feet-long cold light and two streams of white vapor emitted. Wherever they passed, whether it was sand, stone, metal, or iron, they instantly melted. Blown by the two streams of vapor, it immediately turned into a wide and clear path, swift as an arrow. Truly, stones and sands melted, indestructible, piercing through mountains, and covering thousands of miles in an instant.

A perilous and obstructed Meteorite Sea instantly became a clear path.

"The 'Iron Turtle Immortal Shield' really is useful!"

Lu Qingfeng's smile grew even broader.

This treasure was made for him by Han Ling'er, who extracted Cold Iron from the seabed of the East Sea in the Spirit Domain, which had been there for millions of years. It could have been made into an Immortal Artifact, effective in slaying demons and monsters, but such an artifact requires a person with profound Daoist skills to use.

The shield is maneuvered with Immortal Power from behind during use, tremendously powerful.

If not attaining the Immortal Dao, it would be immensely difficult to wield.

Lu Qingfeng, still at the Primordial Spirit level, also found it challenging to forge Immortal Artifacts.

So, he modified it, assembling three hundred sixty-five weaker versions of the 'Iron Turtle Immortal Shield' in Dutian City, to be activated by the city during combat, barely able to demonstrate some of its original power.

It could attack.

And defend.

If an enemy's War City, fortress, or even a top True Immortal blocked its path, it could also crush them thoroughly, clearing all obstacles.

This was specifically prepared by Lu Qingfeng to break through the blockade outside the Mountain and Water Realm swiftly.

This time, thanks to Han Ling'er's assistance and coordination, initially, she lured the Lord of Star Absorption into combat, using the tumult of battle to mask the noise of Lu Qingfeng's 'Eight Desolate Avatar' breaking through to True Immortal. Then, the 'Controlling Void God King Venerate Statue' enveloped thousands of miles, cutting off Zheng Tu and Daoist Hu Feng's control, allowing Dutian City to escape smoothly.

Afterward, facing retaliation from two top True Immortals, Han Ling'er released the 'Zhenyuan Wheel Shield' to delay for Lu Qingfeng.

So smoothly.

Lu Qingfeng didn't even need to use the 'Iron Turtle Immortal Shield' before escaping into the Meteorite Sea. Unwilling to lightly move War City or Divine Mountain, even Zheng Tu and Daoist Hu Feng, two top True Immortals, did not dare to rashly continue their pursuit.

From then on.

Lu Qingfeng managed to escape to safety. As long as he safely exits the Meteorite Sea, the world will be vast and open.

"This time I owe you one."

Lu Qingfeng looked in the direction of Three Mountains and Nine Waters, shaking his head and smiling. The next moment, his figure flickered, arriving at a mysterious place within Dutian City.

Crash Crash!

Crash Crash!

Amidst the darkness, first came the sound of the chains rattling and clashing, followed by the deep roaring 'woo woo woo'.

Looking closely, seen through the darkness, a web sprawled in the air, entangling a ferocious demon.

The demon had four wings.

All four wings were pierced by chains.

It had claws.

Which were also penetrated by chains.

Even its chest, abdomen, and mouth were traversed by chains.

A total of twelve chains, in concert with the 'Void Trapping Net', tightly bound the demon. The demon struggled, but the Net dispelled all its strength. The chains trembled, flashing spirit light. The spirit light flowed along the chains towards an unknown depth.

"Brilliant!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

Lu Qingfeng glanced once, a joyful expression emerging on his face. In reality, it had been only three to four hundred years since he acquired the War City, but in Primordial, tens of thousands of years had passed. Over those years, Lu Qingfeng spent a lot of effort pondering and had already researched and designed a nearly flawless War City system.

The Iron Turtle Immortal Shield was one part.

The enhanced version of the Void Trapping Spider was another.

And the prison linked to the Qiankun Furnace present before him, was also part of it.

"The 'Stealing Heaven Chain' combined with the Spider Web can imprison a top True Immortal. It can also steal the Mana from the imprisoned True Immortal or demon's body, replacing Spirit Stones, Immortal Crystals, and converting it into continuous energy to power Dutian City."

"In this way."

"Not only can save a considerable amount of Immortal Crystals and Spirit Stones, but it also greatly enhances the potential of Dutian City."

Lu Qingfeng entered the prison, ignoring the fierce glare and roar of the Lord of Star Absorption, only inspecting the 'Stealing Heaven Chain' to see it operating normally without any issues, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

This 'Stealing Heaven Chain' is derived from the imprisonment techniques of the Immortal Qin Realm's Five-direction Prison and the dungeons of Thunder Department General Mansion, fused with techniques such as Soul Absorption and Stealing Technique from various Magic Artifacts.

It roots itself in Dutian City.

Unless possessing the power to tear apart War City, it is almost impossible to break free.

Used to seal enemies and effortlessly siphon their mana.

Combined with the enhanced 'Void Trapping Spider', just capturing a few top Fifth-Order Demons would allow Dutian City to operate smoothly without the need for any Spirit Stones or Immortal Crystals. Besides, each Fifth-Order Demon inherently possesses a Heavenly Mechanism, sharing one city with them would subtly enhance the mystical power and majesty of 'Dutian City'.

Even when facing formidable enemies, it could release the captured demons to combat the foes.

Its uses are manifold.

"After reaching the Spirit Domain, if possible, it would be wise to capture a few more demons," Lu Qingfeng contemplated.

Dutian City proceeded swiftly and unimpeded. Six days later, it crossed the Meteorite Sea directly heading towards the Spirit Domain following a trace of vital essence.

…

Spirit Domain.

Nine Nether Realm.

Vast and boundless.

At the very core, a vast expanse of land stretched endlessly for thousands of miles, known amongst cultivators from many great and small realms as the ultimate ascension destination, often referred to as 'Nine Nether Earth' by the local cultivators of the Spirit Domain.

Like the Mountain and Water Realm.

Upon cultivating to the Primordial Spirit Realm in this area, one could follow the mysterious vital essences and ascend here. The ascension location was in the southern territory of the Nine Nether Realm, in a place called the 'Little Dragon Tiger Realm'.

To the east of this realm lies Dragon Pan Mountain, and to the west lies Huju Mountain, each inhabited by True Cultivators and Immortals, hence the name.

Although the Little Dragon Tiger Realm is merely a small part of the Nine Nether's southern territory, it is extremely vast, incomparable to Three Mountains and Nine Waters. It houses numerous renowned immortal mountains frequented by immortals.

Places like One-Line Sky Passage.

Places like Danxia Mountain.

Places like Seven Extremes Mountain.

Places like Ningbi Cliff.

Places like Chi Lian Mountain.

Places like Little Cold Mountain, Nine Sun Ridge, and so on.

Each has legendary tales, residences of enlightened immortals whose fame radiates far and wide.

On this day.

In the eastern part of the Little Dragon Tiger Realm, amidst a thousand mountains, two tunneling lights rushed, one chasing the other. Upon closer inspection, the one fleeing in front was a middle-aged man who was neither monk nor daoist, wearing a half-length Zen robe with his hair tied by a hairband, revealing silver hair temples but his face flushed with a red glow.

He held a blood-red short blade, dazzling to behold, at first glance, as if flames flickered, captivating the soul. The blood-red firelight enveloped the middle-aged man, speeding without a trace.

Following behind the middle-aged man.

A Green Snake moved across the sky, on its head stood a muscular man with a bare upper body, bald head, wielding an object that flickered with light, resembling a wheel and a seal.

"Gray Sparrow!"

The muscular man focused on the blood flame sweeping ahead, the shining treasure in his hand suddenly rotated, immediately releasing a burst of brilliant light. From it, a gray sparrow emerged.

The Gray Sparrow flapped its wings, transforming into a trail of ghostly light, heading straight for the man ahead.

"Du!"

Without looking back, the middle-aged man's blood-colored blade flew out of his hand and collided with the Gray Sparrow. Blood radiance flickered, the Gray Sparrow nimbly avoided the blade, continuing its assault on the middle-aged man. Its body glimmered with ghostly light, and its eyes were extremely sinister, sending shivers down one's spine.

However, before it could get close.

The slashing blood blade incredibly flew back even faster. The Gray Sparrow frantically flapped its wings trying to dodge, but it was ultimately too slow. The blade grazed its wing base, leaving a trail of blood.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Gray Sparrow let out brief and frantic chirps, feeling a burning sensation all over, slowing down instantly. The muscular man riding the Green Snake caught up, the wheel-seal in his hand flickered, capturing the Gray Sparrow within it.

Using the Gray Sparrow to briefly delay, the distance between the Green Snake and the middle-aged man closed even more.

It was only a matter of time before he would be caught by following this procedure.

"This man's cultivation method 'Ten Beasts Wheel Seal' enslaves ten of the fiercest beasts, constantly entangling me, it's difficult to escape."

The middle-aged man sensed the increasingly approaching Green Snake behind him, his expression became grave.

Though he was powerful and possessed tricky methods, the one behind him belonging to 'Ten Beasts Vajra' was even more formidable; not only enslaving ten beasts, but his corporeal body was also trained to the extent of being fearless against blades, spears, water, and fire. Even the infallible Blood Flame Saber in the Lower Realm, when landing on this Ten Beasts Vajra, was like tickling, causing no harm.

Such a character.

Completely restrained the middle-aged man's methods, leaving only the path of escape.

Even if escaping, the Green Snake from the Ten Beasts Wheel Seal was extremely fast, almost faster than him wielding the Blood Blade. Combined with the constant harassment and entanglement of the other nine beasts, the middle-aged man found it difficult to break free.

"This man has already cultivated to become a True Immortal, far surpassing me."

"No longer can we continue this entanglement."

The middle-aged man knit his brows and made a harsh decision.

Concentrating his thoughts and visualization, a blossom of Blood Flame emerged in his heart sea. As the cultivation method circulated, it followed the mana flow into the Dantian. In the center of the Dantian, a blood-colored treasure mirror fluctuated up and down, swallowing infinite mana and continuously refining it. Seeing the approach of Blood Flame, it instantly brightened with blood radiance, transforming into a ferocious beast in a moment, opening its bloody huge mouth, swallowing the Blood Flame completely.

In the next instant.

Specks of blood radiance burst forth.

The middle-aged man reached out with his Divine Thought and touched it, instantly understanding.
