Sack it sack it

To seize control of the detection system, Chen Yi devised an extremely meticulous plan.

Even if the plan ultimately failed, it would only appear as interference from a third-party force, leaving no trace back to the third-in-command of the backend information processing center!

The four-star Chaos avatar immediately disintegrated, reverting into twenty-seven one-star avatars.

Simultaneously, the nine one-star avatars trapped outside the azure barrier also sprang into action.

The avatar hosting the chat group didn’t hesitate—it delivered a brutal strike to itself, its body instantly shattering as its inner Dao domain collapsed, spewing forth a torrent of Chaos essence.

The remaining eight avatars flashed into the trial zone, knocking out all the group members and forty-five elite cultivators from the Purple Star Continent before dragging them back as hostages.

It’s worth noting that Ye Wuchen’s skull was surprisingly tough. Even after taking a direct hit from a one-star avatar, he stubbornly remained standing, mustering the strength to counterattack—until he realized the attacker was none other than himself. Only then did he peacefully pass out.

Truly, a genius!

Soon after the twenty-seven avatars inside the core region set up their grand formation, the eight avatars outside the barrier donned cloaks inscribed with profound runes—designed to block detection.

Indeed, these were the same cloaks used back in the Western Sea Realm to evade the Heavenly Dao’s gaze!

Originally, they were just a means to move freely under the Western Sea’s Heavenly Dao’s radar, but unexpectedly, they also blocked the chat group’s detection.

At that moment, Chen Yi foresaw the cloaks’ unexpected utility, so he never used them in front of the chat group again.

He kept them hidden until now, and his foresight was proven right—they were perfect for ambushing the chat group’s detection system!

With the trap set, the timing and terrain perfect, all that remained was to lure the target in.

Time to spring the trap!

"Ahh—ugh... whimper... Someone... help me..."

The chat group avatar, flushed and panting, let out agonized cries.

The chat group’s backend immediately reacted.

[Abnormality Detected: Group 108’s leader, ‘Damn Heavenly Tribulation Still Chasing Me,’ is under attack by unknown forces. Current location: Exorcism Dungeon, No. 19 Retrospective Secret Realm. Confirmed third-party interference. Requesting immediate intervention from the detection system!]

[System busy, please try again later... System error!]

After a brief freeze, the detection system, which had been investigating anomalies in the No. 6 Demon-Slaying Trial Field, finally responded.

[Ding! This task takes higher priority. Suspending investigation of No. 6 Demon-Slaying Trial Field. Initiating scan of Exorcism Dungeon, No. 19 Secret Realm!]

Hummm!

Within the dazzling fiber-optic network of the chat group, a rune-carved pointer shot out from the No. 6 Demon-Slaying Trial Field, streaking toward the No. 19 Retrospective Secret Realm.

"Perfect. This time, you won’t escape!"

Chen Yi, who had been monitoring the detection system’s movements, smirked and immediately commanded his avatars to violently kick the azure barrier.

BZZZT—!!

In an instant, the No. 19 Secret Realm trembled violently.

The backend information processing center added fuel to the fire.

[Abnormality Detected: Exorcism Dungeon, No. 19 Secret Realm is under attack by third-party forces. Requesting detection system intervention!]

[Received. En route... garbled static...]

Clearly, the detection system was panicking, its overloaded processes spouting nonsense.

A breath later.

The pointer-shaped detection system finally arrived at the No. 19 Secret Realm.

Instantly, Chen Yi felt an eerie ripple flood the entire realm, suppressing all laws and stripping away their effects.

As expected, being a fragment of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, the detection system also possessed illogical, rule-defying properties.

What a terrifying ability!

Fortunately, the cloaks Chen Yi had painstakingly developed were unaffected—in fact, the system didn’t even notice them, still floating around aimlessly, searching for the so-called third-party force.

Understandable. If the cloaks could hide from a Heavenly Tribulation, surely the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk’s grade wasn’t higher than the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, right?

Without hesitation, the eight cloaked avatars stealthily encircled the detection system.

Meanwhile, the detection system remained oblivious to the impending danger, dutifully following protocol to scan and analyze the secret realm.

[No abnormal source detected. Core barrier of No. 19 Secret Realm intact. No signs of forced intrusion.]

[Confirmed attacked members: All members of Group 108, Group 2’s leader, three Group 2 members...]

[Group 108’s leader severely wounded by unknown force. Injuries critical. Immediate activation of secret realm’s healing module to restore condition...]

[Warning: Group 108 has violated regulations again. Violation: Using special means to allow underqualified members into the Exorcism Dungeon. Penalty: All Group 108 members’ accounts suspended for 36,500 days.]

[Group 2’s leader struck in the head by unknown force. Soul destabilized, unconscious. Injuries non-fatal. Extracting residual energy from wounds for analysis...]

[]

Mid-analysis, the detection system suddenly lost all perception. Its emitted ripples were entirely absorbed by an unknown material, leaving it blind.

"Heh. Got you." Chen Yi’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

The eight avatars pulled their cloaks taut like a sack, trapping the detection system inside before hauling it toward the core region.

Behind the azure barrier, the twenty-seven avatars had already prepared the Heaven-Concealing Refinement Array!

With the Space-Time Law’s essence distorting time and space, everything—whether permissible or not—could be completed in an instant, without the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk’s main body ever noticing.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The detection system struggled violently but eventually fell silent.

......

[Exorcism Dungeon, No. 19 Retrospective Secret Realm anomaly summary: Caused by spatial-temporal law instability, resulting in a rift that allowed a stray Evil Abomination from an unknown timeline to invade. Combat power: 30 billion. After severely wounding Group 2’s leader, it attempted to escape but has since been eliminated.]

[Root cause of spatial-temporal law instability: Group 2’s leader and the Mistress of Lingxiu Palace originate from the same realm. Their shared homeland’s aura triggered the spatial-temporal law’s awakening, now stabilized.]

Having resolved the anomalies, the detection system dutifully compiled its report and uploaded it to the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk’s main body for archiving.

Everything proceeded within the bounds of its duties—no overreach detected.
