Chapter 4: Who Killed Who, After All?

The entire Immortal Realm was in an uproar.
With the opening of the Ruin Domain Divine Realm, and under the orders of the five alliance leaders, all cultivators learned that its entrance would form stably in the Jin Xuan Star Region.
Countless cultivators, driven by their longing for divine artifacts, resolutely headed toward the Jin Xuan Star Region.
Their numbers amounted to trillions.
After all, the current leaders of the Jin Xuan Alliance—Chang Xin, the leader of the Mu Feng Alliance—Ji Qiong, the leader of the Huo Xia Alliance—Huang Xu, and the leader of the Tu Gui Alliance—An Yu—were all at the Human-Immortal cultivation level when the Ruin Domain Divine Realm last opened. But after returning to the Immortal Realm, their cultivation levels soared, allowing them to become the leaders of their respective alliances.
With such a clear example, what hesitation could there be among the cultivators of the Immortal Realm? As long as they reached the Human-Immortal level, they eagerly dreamed of entering the Ruin Domain Divine Realm to obtain a divine artifact, thereby skyrocketing their cultivation and gaining fame in the Immortal Realm.
Of course, the four alliance leaders would never reveal the truth. The reason they were able to return safely from the Ruin Domain Divine Realm was that they had gone to the Cultivation Realm first and then returned directly to the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, even if they had seized powerful divine artifacts, they would have been left behind in the Ruin Domain Divine Realm.
Moreover, the four alliance leaders had already reached a tacit agreement: they wanted countless cultivators from the Immortal Realm to enter the Ruin Domain Divine Realm, allowing them to search widely for divine artifacts, before stepping in to seize all the treasures for themselves.
Encouraged by the four alliance leaders, all the cultivators of the Immortal Realm hesitated no longer. Filled with dreams, they gathered in the Jin Xuan Star Region.
Huang Xu of the Huo Xia Alliance, along with over three thousand Heavenly Immortals, as well as nearly forty thousand disciples and followers, spent a year before finally arriving in the Jin Xuan Star Region.
At that moment, the entire Jin Xuan Star Region was filled with starships, cluttering the sky and creating a magnificent sight.
Sitting inside a starship, Fire Lord also opened his eyes and gazed at the dazzling starships that illuminated the entire sky. He couldn’t help but express his astonishment and sigh at the madness of these cultivators.
“These cultivators are just pawns, still deluding themselves into thinking they can obtain divine artifacts. They have no idea that entering the Ruin Domain Divine Realm means certain death,” Fire Lord thought to himself.
However, he wouldn’t try to advise these cultivators. Everyone’s fate was in their own hands. Since these cultivators had chosen to go to the Ruin Domain Divine Realm, death was their own doing.
Huang Xu glanced coldly at the starships ahead and immediately gave the order, “The Huo Xia Alliance’s starship fleet, charge forward! Lives don’t matter.”

The Starship Fleet of the Fire Glow Alliance encountered starships blocking their path ahead. Huang Xu didn’t hesitate and simply used force to clear the way. In an instant, the 4,000 starships of the Fire Glow Alliance formed a massive galaxy in the starry sky, like a bright star shuttle piercing through the cosmos. Any number of starships in front of them that tried to block the way were mercilessly swept aside.
“Bad news! Powerful starships are coming.”
“It’s over! The approaching starship fleet is moving too fast. Even the strongest Heavenly Soul Immortals wouldn’t dare stand in their way.”
“Scatter quickly! You idiots! Why did you trap my starship in this area of the sky? What bad luck!”
“Good heavens! It’s the Immortals of the Fire Glow Alliance coming! Everyone, scatter quickly to avoid getting hurt!”
…
The starry sky instantly became chaotic, with roars shaking the air like thunder. The starships scattered like birds and beasts, in complete panic.
The Starship Fleet of the Fire Glow Alliance continued onward through the void.
※※※
Jin Xuan Star Region, Tian Xiong Star District.
On every planet in the Tian Xiong Star District, cultivators were delighted to find that the entrance to the Ruin Realm Divine World had finally stopped its swirling clouds and waves, becoming completely stable.
The entrance to the Ruin Realm Divine World had finally taken shape upon arriving in the Tian Xiong Star District.
Swish! Swish! Swish…
At that moment, countless cultivators in the Tian Xiong Star District couldn’t wait any longer. They immediately activated their starships and rushed into that dark, planet-like entrance.
In no time, 100 million, 200 million… even a billion cultivators had entered the Ruin Realm Divine World.
More cultivators, having heard that the entrance had formed, were also rushing toward the Tian Xiong Star District.
Huang Xu, along with the cultivators of the Fire Glow Alliance, had actually already arrived in the Tian Xiong Star District. But seeing countless cultivators recklessly charging into the entrance of the Ruin Realm Divine World, henot yet given orders given orders for his starship fleet to enter.
The Immortals of the Fire Glow Alliance, seeing Huang Xu remain calm in the starry sky, could only watch as the starship fleet, like a galaxy, rushed into the entrance. Despite their anxiety, they could only wait.
“No one needs to worry. The Ruin Realm Divine World is open for a hundred years. These cultivators at the Immortal or Earthly Immortal level entering will hardly be able to obtain any significant treasures. Let them explore first; we’ll enter afterward,” Huang Xu said calmly, sensing the anxiety among some in his team.

Soon, the more than 40,000 members of the Fire Glow Alliance all calmed down, observing indifferently the countless starships that rushed into the Godly Realm of the Meteoric Domain like meteors. On the starship controlled by Luo Xinyun, Fire Lord remained composed as he gazed at the dark entrance to the Godly Realm of the Meteoric Domain. Of course, Huang Xu also periodically used his divine sense to sense Fire Lord, trying to gauge his movements. “Luo Xinyun, come over to me for a moment,” Huang Xu suddenly transmitted a message to her through his divine sense. With her cultivation as a Six-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, Luo Xinyun’s starship was already positioned right behind those of the stronger Thirty-Six Heavenly Soul Immortals, so it was quite close to Huang Xu’s starship. Upon hearing his message, she immediately controlled her starship and moved it to stand beside Huang Xu’s. The other immortals of the Fire Glow Alliance were shocked, wondering how Luo Xinyun had managed to get to Huang Xu’s side so quickly. “Luo Xinyun, you’re already at the level of a Six-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, right? Good. Over the next hundred years, I hope you’ll find an opportunity in the Godly Realm of the Meteoric Domain to break through to the level of a lower-tier Heavenly Soul Immortal,” Huang Xu said with a faint smile. Receiving such high expectations from Huang Xu in front of everyone was a great honor, and Luo Xinyun immediately felt proud in their presence. “League Leader, I will definitely seize this opportunity,” she replied excitedly. Huang Xu nodded at her and then said with a smile, “Luo Xinyun, I want to keep Fire Lord by my side. You don’t object, do you?” Only then did Luo Xinyun realize that Huang Xu’s kind words were actually aimed at Fire Lord. “Of course. It’s Fire Lord’s fortune to be able to accompany the League Leader,” she replied with a smile. Huang Xu nodded again. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Fire Lord said nothing and simply flew out of Luo Xinyun’s starship and landed in Huang Xu’s. “What is Fire Lord’s background? Why does the League Leader value him so much?” “Strange. Fire Lord is only at the level of a Six-Star Earthly Soul Immortal. Why does the League Leader want to keep him by his side? What’s the reason?” “That Fire Lord never even appeared in Fire Glow Star before. How did he catch the League Leader’s attention? Hmm… I should get to know him in the future.” … Such a strange scene immediately stirred up doubts in the hearts of the immortals of the Fire Glow Alliance. Inside Huang Xu’s starship, there were only two people, and Huang Xu smiled as he looked at Fire Lord. “Fire Lord, wait a moment. You’ll enter the Godly Realm of the Meteoric Domain with me,” Huang Xu said gently. “Yes, League Leader,” Fire Lord replied calmly.

Huang Xu smiled and fell silent, then fixed his gaze on the entrance to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm that was drifting in the air. “All cultivators of the Fire Glow Alliance, follow me into the Meteor Domain Divine Realm,” Huang Xu suddenly shouted. At the entrance to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm, there were four bright light clusters—these were the starship fleets of the other four alliances. It turned out that Huang Xu had seen the starship fleets of the Golden Mysterious Alliance, Wood Maple Alliance, Water Lake Alliance, and Earth Gui Alliance rushing toward the entrance before giving the order. In an instant, Huang Xu’s starship led the way, with four thousand starships following swiftly, creating a dazzling light trail as they flew toward the entrance. “Huang Xu, our Golden Mysterious Alliance is entering first.” “Huang Xu, why are you so slow? Our Wood Maple Alliance won’t wait for you.” “Huang Xu, sorry, but our Water Lake Alliance will also get there before you.” “Huang Xu, I’ll hold back for us from behind. Don’t rush; our Earth Gui Alliance is about to enter.” In the sky, four mocking voices appeared—these came from the leaders of the four alliances: Chang Xin, Ji Qiong, Sha Xi, and An Yu. “There’s plenty of time. I’m not in a hurry,” Huang Xu replied calmly. Soon after, the starship fleets of the four alliances burst into laughter before diving into the entrance and disappearing immediately. Huang Xu continued to lead the Fire Glow Alliance’s starship fleet toward the entrance. In just one minute, they reached it. The entrance was pitch black, but the spiritual energy emanating from within was refreshing and very comfortable. “Enter,” Huang Xu called out loudly. Immediately, the Fire Glow Alliance’s starship fleet transformed into a sharp sword, piercing straight into the entrance of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm before vanishing into its passage. Everyone’s vision went dark instantly, and their immortal senses could no longer detect the situation of the starships nearby. All they could sense was a mysterious force pulling the starships forward steadily. At that moment, Huang Xu moved—he suddenly grabbed Fire Lord beside him with his left hand, while his right hand drew out a powerful magical artifact. Its aura surpassed that of high-tier Heavenly Soul Immortal-grade artifacts; it was actually a divine artifact. Huang Xu had been to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm once before and knew that no immortal sense could function inside its entrance passage. Therefore, he brought Fire Lord into the starship, intending to take this opportunity to kill him outright.

Whether Fire Lord was Qu Yi or not, Huang Xu had already decided he must kill him. If Fire Lord was indeed Qu Yi, he would have gotten a huge fortune by obtaining the divine weapon on Qu Yi’s body right away. If Fire Lord wasn’t Qu Yi, it would just be a mistaken killing, and Huang Xu wouldn’t feel the slightest guilt.

But just as Huang Xu raised the divine weapon in his hand, ready to kill Fire Lord in one strike, a terrifying voice sounded.

“Who will kill whom after all?”
At that moment, Qu Yi’s voice appeared.
