With a single exchange, Wang Potian was instantly slain.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Su Chen said, accepting the terrifying Immortal Spirit's goodwill without hesitation.

A Five Tribulations Ruler's Universe Heart was enough to save him countless years of bitter cultivation.

The terrifying Immortal Spirit was named Xie Liuyun. Like Su Chen, he came from the End Times Immortal Domain and had entered the Flying Immortal Land to vie for immortality opportunities.

According to Xie Liuyun, many Immortal Spirits from the End Times Immortal Domain had done the same. Yet across the vast Flying Immortal Land, their numbers seemed insignificant. To await their destined immortal opportunity, they had no choice but to band together for warmth and mutual support.

Su Chen's refinement of the Universe Heart had released an aura of the End Times Immortal Domain, which Xie Liuyun detected. Following the principle of helping fellow Immortal Spirits from the same domain—drawing Su Chen into their faction, assisting one another, and resisting hostile forces like the Transmigrator Alliance and the Main God Hall—Xie Liuyun had tracked the aura to find him.

An unexpected delay had cost him a million years, which was why he offered the Universe Heart as an apology.

Xie Liuyun took out a seed-like object and said, "This is the Immortal Dao Network, established by an ancient powerhouse from our End Times Immortal Domain within the Flying Immortal Land. He used his own Dao artifact as the foundation. All Immortal Spirits from our domain who refine it can open a shared communication space using the unique characteristics left behind by the End Times Immortal Domain."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen realized it was essentially a network, with access granted through the innate traits of Immortal Spirits from the End Times Immortal Domain. To create such a space in this immense Flying Immortal Land required an existence of unimaginable power. His ten-thousand-point background in this life had not been in vain.

Su Chen refined the seed Xie Liuyun handed him. His consciousness entered a mysterious space.

"Millions of years have passed, and our End Times Immortal Domain finally has a new arrival."

A clear, silver-bell-like laugh rang out. It belonged to a woman of peerless grace and beauty.

"A newcomer. I wonder what his talent is like?"

"The last newcomer only had four-star talent and died in less than a hundred thousand years. The one before him had five-star talent and only lasted a hundred thousand years."

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"This time, I hope he won't disappoint us."

A rough, domineering voice echoed, accompanied by countless ferocious beast phantoms. One aura after another appeared—over a thousand in total. These were all Immortal Spirits from the End Times Immortal Domain.

In Su Chen's original universe, an Immortal Spirit-level being might not appear even once in millions of years. Yet here, over a thousand existed. And this was only those present in the space at this moment; many others might still be absent.

Xie Liuyun entered the space as well. "He will certainly not disappoint you. When I found him, he had already been locked in a million-year stalemate against a Five Tribulations Ruler from the Transmigrator Alliance without falling behind."

A wave of astonished murmurs swept through the mysterious space.

They could naturally see that Su Chen was only at the Four Tribulations Ruler realm. One tribulation marked an entire layer of heaven, and the Transmigrator Alliance's members were all elites. For a newcomer to cross an entire major realm and fight evenly against one of their powerhouses demonstrated exceptional potential.

Before Su Chen appeared a massive crystal orb. It felt somewhat familiar. He tested his talent.

Nine rays of light shone forth.

"Nine-star talent? You passed nine layers of the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Supreme talent! The last one with supreme talent was Little Liuyun, and even he only reached eight stars."

"Nine-star talent is something only a few sequence leaders have achieved."

"We've picked up a treasure this time. Only the boss's ten-star talent can surpass this. Our End Times Immortal Domain will soon gain another powerhouse."

"......"

Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Su Chen thought to himself, "It seems that those qualified to overcome the nine-layer Emperor Tribulation are extremely rare even across the entire Flying Immortal Land."

That had been close. He had assumed nine-layer Emperor Tribulations were commonplace. After all, he still held one person who had survived it, and his original universe contained two more Immortal Spirits who had done the same. On top of that, he had killed three others.

Fortunately, the number wasn't too high.

The other Immortal Spirits, unaware of Su Chen's inner thoughts, were deeply impressed. Nine-star talent was extraordinarily rare. Many of them immediately favored him, convinced that this youth was destined for greatness. His potential was simply terrifying.

When Su Chen withdrew from the mysterious space, Xie Liuyun was still staring at him in amazement. He had expected Su Chen to possess excellent talent—at least seven stars—but he had never imagined it would reach a full nine stars. His future prospects were limitless.

Forming a connection with Su Chen had been an exceptionally wise decision.

Having accomplished his goal of guiding Su Chen into the End Times Immortal Domain's faction, Xie Liuyun took his leave. He still had important unfinished matters to attend to—matters serious enough to have delayed him for a million years.

Su Chen turned his attention to Qin Wujie, who was tucked away with only a sliver of life remaining. He needed to return and see whether a second Undying Divine Medicine existed.

...

Original Universe.

Ever since Qin Wujie's disappearance, an unknown stretch of time had passed. Neither Di Chan nor Chi Yao had received any news of Su Chen's return, nor any word from Qin Wujie.

They refused to give up. After years of relentless tempering, both women finally advanced, breaking through to the Two Tribulations Ruler realm. They now possessed the strength to break free from this universe.

Through unyielding effort, they eventually tore open the world barrier. The endless void beyond made them acutely aware of their own insignificance. They began wandering through the nothingness, searching for traces of Su Chen and Qin Wujie.

Unfortunately, the Flying Immortal Land was impossibly vast. Even a single corner of it stretched endlessly, silent and desolate.

But at that moment, they discovered… a new universe.
