Chapter 52: Seizing All Tian Gang Planets

Qu Yi had reached the cultivation level of a Three-Star Tian Po Immortal, further enhancing his strength. However, when using the Vast Heaven Sword, the power he could unleash was still equivalent to that of a Six-Star Tian Po Immortal.

Similarly, the five lords—Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, Fire Lord, and Earth Lord—using their supreme Tian Hun Immortal-grade magical artifacts could only exert a power on par with that of a Six-Star Tian Po Immortal.

Inside the Dimensional Sphere, Qu Yi lay on his soft chair, turning his head to look at the Artifact God beside him.

“Artifact God, I’ve completed scanning the Origin Space Dao Formation. It’s time for you to teach me the next stage of the formation, right?” Qu Yi said with a smile.

Hearing Qu Yi’s words, the Artifact God opened its eyes, turned over, and examined him closely.

Qu Yi retracted slightly, unsure why the Artifact God was looking at him in that way. Especially with its infantile, pure gaze, he couldn’t fathom its thoughts and looked back at it nervously.

After observing for a while, the Artifact God finally smiled and said reassuringly, “Qu Yi, at the levels of the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm, you’ve reached the final stage in mastering the formations you need to understand. Very well, I’ll teach you the Origin World Dao.”

During the Human-Immortal stage: Origin Power Dao and Origin Law Dao; during the Earth-Immortal stage: Origin Speed Dao and Origin Space Dao; during the Heaven-Immortal stage: Origin World Dao.

Hearing this, Qu Yi relaxed and smiled.

Soon, he noticed additional content on his Soul Flower. With a glance of his immortal awareness, he realized it was the Origin World Dao Formation that the Artifact God had just implanted.

The Origin World Dao utilized the power of the world to create various planetary worlds for different purposes. With enough energy, it was even possible to create a new planet.

After a brief scan, Qu Yi said with a smile, “Artifact God, you’re truly powerful. You actually developed such an advanced formation on your own.”

The Artifact God immediately shot him a disdainful look and protested indignantly, “Stop flattery! I, the Artifact God, have existed for countless eras. How could I be deceived by such flattery? Hurry up and scan it. The Fall Domain Divine Realm is about to open. Try to finish scanning the Origin World Dao by then.”

Qu Yi sprang up from the soft chair, stood firmly, and replied, “Artifact God, rest assured. I’ll work hard to scan the Origin World Dao Formation. Before the Fall Domain Divine Realm opens, I’ll break through to a Six-Star Tian Po Immortal, and I’ll also satisfy you regarding the art of formations.”

The Artifact God simply turned over and went back to sleeping comfortably on the soft chair.

Seeing that the Divine Smith had fallen asleep again, Qu Yi chewed on his lip and muttered to himself, “For the task of attacking the Tian Gang stars from now on, it will be left to Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun. I’ll stay inside this Realm Ball, getting familiar with the materials for crafting while scanning the arrays.” The materials obtained from the Haotian Immortal Mansion, those from the Haodi Treasure Trove, and those gathered from various Tian Gang star systems after occupying them—all needed to be studied by Qu Yi to lay a solid foundation for crafting on his own in the future. Soon after, Qu Yi went over to Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun. “The four of you, take on the task of attacking the Tian Gang stars,” Qu Yi said with a smile. With their souls united, the four knew exactly what Qu Yi was thinking. They nodded in agreement. Qu Yi took out the Boundless Star Compass and said, “You four take care of this. When the Feathered Ice Snake reaches the Tian Gang stars, lead all the demons in the attack. Right now, no demon race on any Tian Gang star can stand against you.” Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun laughed heartily. Inside the Realm Ball, there were already three demons with the strength of Six-Star Heavenly Soul Demons: Liu Feng, the King of Colorful Toads, and the Heir of Colorful Toads. Many other demons, having received magical weapons from Qu Yi, also possessed the strength of Six-Star Heavenly Soul Demons. Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun, equipped with treasures at the higher level of Heavenly Soul Immortals, were equivalent to Six-Star Heavenly Soul Immortals in strength. Such overwhelming power was indeed beyond the resistance of any demon race on the Tian Gang stars. “Rest assured, Lord. Leave the outside matters to us four,” the four said confidently. Qu Yi nodded, then disappeared, returning to his soft chair. ※※※ After being repelled by the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix, the leaders of the Wood Forest Alliance—Kong Xu, the leader of the Water Ocean Alliance—Yan Shui, and the leader of the Earth Stride Alliance—Liu Ying—arrived on a desert planet. The three remained silent for a long time. Kong Xu took a deep breath, calming down, and said softly, “Yan Shui, Liu Ying, this time we made a mistake in our intelligence gathering. We didn’t expect the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix to have allied with Qu Yi, costing us dearly. But it doesn’t matter. The Divine Realm of Meteoric Domain is about to open. As long as we find a powerful divine weapon, we can immediately trigger the Divine Calamity and ascend to the Divine Realm.” Trigger the Divine Calamity! Generally, the Divine Calamity descends when a cultivator’s strength reaches that of a Higher-Level Heavenly Soul Demon, as decreed by heaven. Thus, the Divine Calamity is a punishment from heaven, not something the cultivator can summon on their own.

But just now, the Void actually said he could summon the divine calamity on his own, which shows he must possess some hidden cards. Moreover, the Void also knows that Yan Shui and Liu Ying have precious treasures that can block the heavens’ surveillance, preventing the divine calamity from descending.
Yan Shui’s expression softened as well. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “The reason the three of us haven’t rushed to ascend to the Divine Realm is that we want to enter the Meteor Domain Divine Realm to find even more powerful divine weapons, so that we’ll have more means to protect ourselves once we enter the Divine Realm. Qu Yi has a teleportation artifact; we can’t deal with him. We can only rely on others’ help to eliminate Qu Yi after we reach the Divine Realm.”
Liu Ying nodded and said calmly, “With the Dragon Emperor and the Fire Phoenix by our side now, it’s even more impossible for us to deal with Qu Yi. The only place left where the three of us might be able to kill Qu Yi is the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. Hopefully, those Soul Body People can find Qu Yi and bring him down.”
At the mention of Soul Body People, both the Void and Yan Shui trembled slightly, clearly still fearing them.
“Alright, for the time ahead, the three of us should return to our own caves and continue our cultivation, waiting for the opening of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm,” the Void said calmly.
Yan Shui nodded.
But Liu Ying’s eyes shifted, and he said firmly, “Both of you, there’s one more thing—we need to act together. Clearly, Qu Yi is now commanding some monsters to attack the Tian Gang planets below us, aiming to seize the primal energy veins on those planets. Judging from the situation on the previous Tian Gang planets, the monster races there are no match for Qu Yi and his allies. I propose that all the monster races on our Tian Gang planets who have reached the level of Heavenly Monsters leave those planets. As for those who haven’t reached that level, let them choose where to live as they wish.”
Upon hearing this, the Void and Yan Shui immediately nodded.
“As long as Qu Yi dies, those primal energy veins will return to our hands. Let’s let Qu Yi enjoy his moment of triumph for now,” the Void said coldly.
Soon, the three leaders decided to give all 103 remaining Tian Gang planets to Qu Yi.
After discussing a bit more, they flew away immediately, returning to their own caves.
※※※
The over a hundred winged ice snakes under Qu Yi’s control went to the Tian Gang planets in the Wood Forest Star Region, Water Ocean Star Region, and Earth Trough Star Region one by one.
Immediately afterward, Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, and Tu Zun, carrying the Boundless Star Dots and the Tiny World Balls, crossed over one by one.
After easily sweeping through the three Tian Gang planets…

At the entrance of the Origin Vital Pulse of Tianying Star in the Tuba Star Region, the Four Lords—Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, and Earth Lord—stood together with displeased expressions.
“It’s really strange. We’ve visited three Tiangang planets in a row, yet not a single beast race on these planets came to resist us. It seems they knew we were coming and simply gave up in advance,” said the Gold Lord unhappily.
Since those beast races didn’t resist, the four lords couldn’t bring themselves to kill those Yuanbeast or Dibeast-level monsters. They could only fly to the Origin Vital Pulse Cave and use the Spirit Tree to collect the Vital Pulse one by one.
Without battles, the Gold Lord, as the main fighter, naturally disliked it. Similarly, the Wood Lord, Water Lord, and Earth Lord also wanted to refine the soul fragments they had absorbed through battle in order to advance their soul realms. With no beasts coming to die for them, the three of them remained gloomy.
“It seems there’s no need for the four of us to handle the next task personally. Let those highest-ranking beast leaders take care of it,” said the Wood Lord indifferently.
Any one of the nearly a hundred powerful beast warriors sent out could conquer a defenseless Tiangang planet.
“I agree. Let’s divide the 108 Tiangang planets among those powerful beast warriors right now. Each of them can take a planet and then conquer it on their own,” said the Water Lord, his expression improving as he spoke calmly.
The Earth Lord nodded and added, “From now on, the four of us will, just like this lord, refine those soul fragments inside theinch realm Ball. Although battles can help us quickly understand those soul fragments, we possess the entire faith power of the cultivation world. Their understanding of the world is also passed to us, helping us quickly grasp the world forces within each soul fragment. It won’t be difficult for us to reach the rank of Six-Star Tianpo Immortal before the Ruin Realm Divine Realm opens.”
Hearing this, the Gold Lord, Wood Lord, and Water Lord smiled gladly.
Immediately afterward, the four lords had the powerful beast warriors inside theinch realm Ball choose for themselves. Each of them was assigned a Tiangang planet, after which those beast warriors were sent to their respective planets.
From then on, the task of conquering the Tiangang planets was left entirely to these powerful beast warriors.
The Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, and Earth Lord, seemingly uninterested in the outside world, all entered theinch realm Ball to focus on understanding the soul fragments they had absorbed.
