The World-Suppressing Banner unfurled in the wind, and a phantom of mountains and seas appeared behind Ye Chuan.
Righteous aura!
Purple mist coming from the east!
"I am the Jade Emptiness Holy Lord."
Ye Chuan gently waved the World-Suppressing Banner, then reached out his hand,
"Domain Expansion—"
"Buzz—!!!"
The power of chaos erupted like a tidal wave, instantly swallowing the surrounding space.
Kalen only felt his vision blur as the world spun around him. By the time he steadied himself, he was already standing in a boundless expanse of chaos.
There was no sky here, no earth, and no sense of direction. There were only continuously churning black and gray chaotic air currents. Occasionally, a few streaks of purple lightning tore through the void, emitting deafening claps of thunder.
The surrounding space constantly twisted, folded, and shattered, only to heal again under the influence of the chaotic power, filled with violent and disorderly energy.
"Where is this?!" Kalen frowned.
He subconsciously summoned a shield, only to find that the surrounding chaotic power was frantically eroding his energy barrier. His energy was draining over a hundred times faster than usual.
A black hole...?
No.
The rules here were completely different from the cosmic laws he knew. Even the flow of time had become utterly chaotic.
"No wonder you could defeat the Outer God's apostle," Kalen said.
Ye Chuan's voice echoed from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his location. "It should be enough to defeat you, too."
Kalen snapped his head toward the sound, but couldn't locate Ye Chuan.
He finally realized that he had grossly underestimated this native from a low-level civilization.
This man's strength had far exceeded his comprehension!
"I'm going to get serious." Kalen once again took out that silver-white sphere, but this time he pressed the black button on its side.
"Since you have a death wish, I'll let you witness the true power of the Core Starfield!"
"Come out, Starbeast!"
The silver-white sphere burst open instantly, and a dazzling beam of white light shot into the sky.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a colossal behemoth tens of thousands of meters tall appeared within the chaotic domain.
Its body was like a continuous mountain range, covered in thick, dark purple scales. Each scale was as large as a high-rise building, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
Its massive head sported three blood-red eyes, and a pair of sky-blotting fleshy wings spread from its back. With a gentle flap, it whipped up violent storms.
This was the Starbeast, one of the most terrifying creatures in the universe.
An adult Starbeast was the size of a small asteroid. Even peak experts wouldn't dare provoke a fully grown one lightly.
And the one in Kalen's possession, though only a juvenile, possessed strength that could not be underestimated.
"Tear him to shreds!" Kalen pointed at Ye Chuan and shouted sternly.
The Starbeast let out an angry roar, and its massive claw, carrying a world-destroying momentum, smashed fiercely toward Ye Chuan.
Wherever the claw passed, space trembled, and five bottomless black rifts were torn open.
"Interesting." Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of seriousness finally appearing on his face.
He didn't take it head-on. His figure flashed, instantly appearing thousands of meters away, dodging the strike.
"Boom—!!!"
The massive claw struck the chaotic void, emitting an earth-shattering boom. The surrounding chaotic air currents surged wildly, forming a gigantic energy vortex.
"Heh." Kalen sneered. "Starbeast, use Star Core Breath!"
The Starbeast opened its cavernous maw, and a dazzling white orb of light rapidly coalesced within.
The orb contained terrifying energy, like a star on the verge of going supernova. Even the surrounding chaotic power was affected by this energy and began to boil.
A white beam of light a thousand meters thick erupted from the Starbeast's mouth, sweeping toward Ye Chuan like a surging galaxy.
"Hmm... You don't actually think you're that impressive, do you?" Ye Chuan's eyes held a playful look. His figure dissipated within the domain to avoid the breath attack, and he fiercely waved the World-Suppressing Banner in his hand.
"Come forth!"
Countless black souls poured out from the World-Suppressing Banner, blotting out the sky. Densely packed, they pounced toward the Starbeast like a black tide.
Among these souls were humans, demons, monsters, and all sorts of bizarre alien beasts!
Like a pack of starving wolves, they threw themselves onto the Starbeast, tearing with their teeth, scratching with their claws, and ramming with their bodies.
Some burrowed into the gaps between the Starbeast's scales to gnaw on its flesh and blood.
"Aooo—!!!"
The Starbeast let out a pained wail, its massive body thrashing wildly as it tried to shake off the souls.
But those souls were like maggots clinging to bone; no matter how it thrashed, it couldn't shake them off.
"What is this now?" The smile vanished completely from Kalen's face, as if he had realized something.
"Is this... a Soul Banner from a cultivation civilization?! You're not from the Blue Source Planet! Where exactly are you from?! Which cultivation starfield?!"
He had seen records of cultivation civilizations in the ancient texts of the Core Starfield.
Those experts from ancient cultivation starfields excelled at commanding flying swords, refining magical treasures, and manipulating souls. Their strength was unfathomable.
Although the Federation's starfields and the cultivation starfields had occasional friction, they had always minded their own business, so neither side knew much about the other's intelligence.
But he never could have imagined that on such a remote, low-level civilization planet, he would encounter such a powerful cultivator.
"Guess."
Ye Chuan said calmly, waving the World-Suppressing Banner once more.
Even more souls surged out of the banner like a black tsunami, completely submerging the Starbeast.
The Starbeast's wails grew weaker and weaker until, finally, its enormous body crashed to the ground, dissolving into countless specks of black light.
Ye Chuan's chaotic power directly enveloped the Starbeast. He curled his lips into a smirk. "Stand up."
In the next moment, the colossal, ten-thousand-meter monster began to roar. Four eyes slowly opened behind Ye Chuan, blotting out the sky like an abyssal monstrosity.
"My Starbeast... The pet I spent so much money raising..." Feeling his connection severed, and seeing Ye Chuan actually turn his Starbeast into a massive monster of black mist, his heart bled.
Kalen completely lost his mind. He pulled a black cubic device from his spatial belt.
"Die!!"
He violently hurled the device at Ye Chuan while pressing the activation button.
The black cube detonated instantly, unleashing a terrifying spatial force.
Centered on Ye Chuan, the space within a ten-thousand-meter radius began to frantically shrink and compress, crushing the once boundless chaotic domain!
The force of the spatial compression grew stronger and stronger. Even light was compressed into a solid state, and the air turned into a substance harder than steel. Even if a small asteroid were trapped inside, it would be instantly crushed into powder.
"Hahaha!!" Kalen laughed maniacally.
"So what if you're a cultivator? In the face of absolute power, you will still be reduced to ashes!"
However, before his laughter could fade, it came to an abrupt halt.
Ye Chuan stood at the very center of the hyper-compressed space, still wearing his usual nonchalant expression.
He gently raised his hand and gave the surrounding space a casual flick.
"Break."
With the fall of a single word.
Crack—!!!
The seemingly indestructible compressed space shattered on command like fragile glass!
A terrifying spatial power rebounded, instantly blasting the black cube device into pieces!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
