Chapter 51: Departure

Chang Xin actually hid among those cultivators at the Earth Immortal level. He followed them to near the exit of the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. When he saw Qu Yi focusing on capturing Void, Annihilation Water, and Flowing Shadow, he seized the opportunity and immediately flew toward the exit passage.
Clearly, Chang Xin believed this was his chance to escape, which was why he revealed his presence.
“Chang Xin, don’t even think about running,” Qu Yi shouted, his eyes filled with cold mockery.
Suddenly, the five beings surrounding the seventy Heaven Soul Immortal-level cultivators summoned five divine artifacts, instantly encircling the entrance of the exit passage with the Five Gods Fierce Array.
Before Chang Xin could reach the entrance, he was blocked by the array.
On the planet, Qu Yi laughed loudly, “Wuyuan, Wuqing, Siran, Zhonglei, and Huofeng—go take care of those seventy Heaven Soul Immortal cultivators. Capture them all alive. I’ll deal with that Chang Xin. This time, I’ll catch them all at once.”
With that, Qu Yi activated the Boundless Stars and immediately arrived beside the five beings.
As Qu Yi’s avatars, these five beings served as natural soul coordinates, allowing Qu Yi to summon the Boundless Stars effortlessly.
Seeing Qu Yi approaching, Chang Xin’s eyes sharpened, his face turning cold as he stared at him coldly.
“Qu Yi, you’re indeed well-prepared. But trying to trap me is just delusion,” Chang Xin said coldly.
At this point, despite being exposed, Chang Xin remained calm, showing no signs of worry toward Qu Yi or the five beings. It seemed that, as someone with the most cunning tactics, he still hid some of his strength.
Qu Yi simply smiled faintly at Chang Xin, not rushing to act. He glanced at the situation in the starry sky—Wuyuan, Qingwugui, Siran, Zhonglei, and Huofeng had already started dealing with those seventy Heaven Soul Immortal cultivators.
Trapped by the Five Gods Fierce Array, those seventy cultivators had already exhausted most of their Immortal Energy, Demon Energy, and Monster Energy. Now, facing the attacks of Wuyuan, Qingwugui, Siran, Zhonglei, and Huofeng, they lacked the strength to fight back.
Wuyuan simply jumped through space at will, punching each one one by one, laughing merrily as he did so.
Qingwugui, on the other hand, moved swiftly, using the Heart of the Five Elements to influence the spiritual bodies of the cultivators, easily breaking through their defenses. With a thrust of his Ground-Piercing Spear, he quickly took care of them all.

Si Ren, Zhong Lei, and Huo Feng, also top-tier alliance leaders, flew to each of the Tian Hun Xian warriors and vented all the resentment they had accumulated from being tormented by Qu Yi during this time. Their brutal attacks were unbearable to watch.
“Since I’ve fallen into disaster, you won’t get away unscathed either,” that was the mindset of Si Ren, Zhong Lei, and Huo Feng.
Under the relentless attacks of the five of them, the seventy Tian Hun Xian warriors couldn’t hold on any longer; they were all severely injured and soon lost consciousness.
“Si Ren, Zhong Lei, Huo Feng, control these seventy people. Wu Yuan and I will go help Qu Yi,” Qing Wu Gui said indifferently before immediately flying toward Qu Yi.
“Woo!” Wu Yuan cheered and followed closely behind.
Si Ren, Zhong Lei, and Huo Feng nodded reluctantly, then piled the bodies of the seventy Tian Hun Xian warriors together and brought them to the planet.
Seeing that Qu Yi hadn’t taken action yet, Chang Xin understood his plans and didn’t wait any longer. He immediately took out a divine artifact.
The artifact resembled a golden wheel—a golden ring with ten sharp blades. Once it spun, it could cut through anything. At least in the three realms, no one’s body could withstand its strike.
“This is my divine artifact, the Ten Shadows Golden Wheel. Qu Yi, don’t think that just because you have my Golden Pattern Sword, I don’t have any divine artifacts,” Chang Xin said coldly.
Qu Yi widened his eyes and laughed, “Chang Xin, I naturally guessed you still had a divine artifact. Besides, I also know some of your secrets. Do you want me to reveal them now?”
Hearing this, Chang Xin wasn’t in a hurry to act. He asked calmly, “Sure, I’d like to hear them.”
Chang Xin was also very curious about Qu Yi. After all, Qu Yi always faced challenges smoothly and got through dangers effortlessly, leaving Chang Xin puzzled. So, whenever he obtained some information about Qu Yi, he would carefully analyze it to understand him better. Now, he wanted to hear what Qu Yi knew about him, in order to infer the secrets hidden behind him.

Qu Yi smiled slightly and said calmly, “Chang Xin, you secretly established the Sky Curtain Organization and have been searching for the Heaven Transmitting Stone and the Soul-Calling Stone. I’ve known this secret for a long time, which is why I stole those two divine stones from the Demon Realm and the Fiend Realm, gaining in return five Soul Beads and nine divine artifacts. Chang Xin, your avatar Ze Di in the Demon Realm has now been absorbed into your body. That means both the Metal and Water elements coexist within you now. I’ve also heard that you’ve mastered the Wood element to its extreme—so it seems that Metal, Water, and Wood all coexist within you now.”

Upon hearing this, Chang Xin’s body trembled slightly, clearly shocked by the two secrets Qu Yi knew, which were far beyond his expectations. These were plans he had carried out secretly all along, and the members of the Sky Curtain Organization had all been subjected to his Soul Shattering Technique, making it impossible for them to reveal any secrets. Yet Qu Yi knew about them, which indicated that Qu Yi’s Soul Technique was equally terrifying.

Moreover, no one in the three realms knew about Ze Di, yet Qu Yi was also aware of it, rendering Chang Xin’s hidden strength no longer a secret and reducing his chances of launching a surprise attack on Qu Yi.

Qu Yi looked at Chang Xin calmly and smiled again, “Chang Xin, I’ve already destroyed the Heaven Transferring Array you set up on the Golden Mysterious Star. Needless to say, after replacing it with the Soul-Calling Stone and the Heaven Transmitting Stone, you plan to establish another Heaven Transferring Array in the God Realm of the Meteor Domain, so that you can freely enter it and keep searching for divine artifacts. This way, once you ascend to the God Realm, you’ll have a foothold there.”

Chang Xin was extremely astonished and grew uneasy.

Qu Yi even knew about such things, which meant all of Chang Xin’s secrets were exposed. It made Chang Xin feel as if he were nothing but a transparent stone in front of Qu Yi.

“I really didn’t expect that you, Qu Yi, know so many of my secrets. It’s a pity, but you still can’t stop me. Today, I must leave this God Realm of the Meteor Domain,” Chang Xin said coldly, regaining his composure.

Qu Yi nodded and smiled, “Chang Xin, you hide great strength. I believe you can escape, but it’s impossible for you to do so unscathed.”

In fact, as Chang Xin said those harsh words, he regretted them already. It would have been better to endure the divine tribulation in the God Realm of the Meteor Domain and ascend directly to the God Realm. Since it was already impossible to restore the Heaven Transferring Array, why linger over the divine artifacts in that realm?

Just then, Chang Xin suddenly dashed forward like lightning, heading straight for the five figures.

“Hmph, if you want to get past us, it depends on your skills,” the Five Lords roared. Immediately, they controlled the Five Deities Fierce Formation to block Chang Xin, and the entire Five Elements Spirit Body space suddenly expanded, aiming to envelop Chang Xin’s body. Suddenly, Chang Xin twisted his body and, in some way, managed to escape the encirclement of the Five Elements Spirit Body space. If he were truly trapped by the Five Deities Fierce Formation, he knew it would be impossible for him to escape—after all, the Five Lords had the energy supply from the Star Luo Ding to sustain the Five Elements Spirit Body, while Chang Xin could only rely on his own strength and would surely be exhausted. Just as Chang Xin successfully escaped the formation’s encirclement, his entire body performed a spatial jump, allowing him to cross the formation and head straight for the exit to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. “There’s still me. Do you want to escape so quickly?” Qu Yi’s figure suddenly appeared at the exit to the Meteor Domain Divine Realm. Chang Xin reacted swiftly, throwing his divine artifact, the Ten Shadows Golden Wheel, which created ten golden wheel shadows in the air. Each shadow carried thousands of Gold Element Spirit Bodies that rushed toward Qu Yi. “Chang Xin, you really underestimate my strength. Let me show you a part of my true power now,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Suddenly, Qu Yi retracted his divine artifact, the Glowing Seal, and began moving his hands, casting various seals. Chaos energy immediately filled his body, forming an invisible shield. When the ten golden wheel shadows reached Qu Yi, they not only couldn’t move forward but also the incoming Gold Element Spirit Bodies dissipated on their own. Indeed, chaos energy could directly dissolve the energy of the five elements. These Gold Element Spirit Bodies were merely highly condensed forms of primal energy, given some intelligence, but they were still essentially energy of the five elements. Thus, when they encountered chaos energy, they could only melt and dissipate. Chang Xin had never encountered such extreme energy before. Seeing that his spells couldn’t even affect Qu Yi, he realized that escaping would be even more difficult. By this time, the Five Lords had recovered from being mocked by Chang Xin and were enraged. Driven by them, the Five Deities Fierce Formation lunged fiercely at Chang Xin again, aiming to envelop him and torment him thoroughly. Chang Xin reacted quickly, performing another spatial jump to escape the formation’s attack and end up on Qu Yi’s other side, watching him calmly.

“Qu Yi, your hidden strength truly surprises me. But relying on such limited abilities to keep me, Chang Xin, is underestimating me,” Chang Xin said calmly once again.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Chang Xin—it was Ze Di. At this moment, Chang Xin actually separated his clone from within his body, clearly having made a firm decision.
“Ten Shadow Golden Wheel, explode!”
“Clone, self-destruct!” Chang Xin shouted firmly.
The Ten Shadow Golden Wheel flew out again, heading straight for Qu Yi. Just as Qu Yi raised his hands to create an invisible wall of chaotic energy in front of him, the wheel exploded. The violent energy caused the entire space to collapse, generating spatial turbulence that struck at Qu Yi’s defenses.
Qu Yi’s cultivation level was still low—only that of a Mid-Level Heavenly Soul Immortal. Despite possessing chaotic energy, a powerful force, he couldn’t withstand the impact of the spatial turbulence. Soon, he was flung far away, escaping the range of the turbulence.
Meanwhile, the five beings behind him activated the Five Deities Fiendish Formation to trap Chang Xin and drain his energy. But at that moment, Chang Xin’s clone, Ze Di, also flew forward resolutely to confront the formation. Just as the two forces were about to collide, Ze Di self-destructed with unwavering determination.
The space collapsed once more, with countless waves of spatial turbulence emerging. These not only consumed Ze Di’s self-destructive energy but also devoured all the elemental spirits within the Five Deities Fiendish Formation.
The five beings quickly retreated as well, unable to withstand the spatial turbulence and forced to protect themselves.
At the cost of losing a divine artifact and a clone, Chang Xin managed to drive back both Qu Yi and the five beings, securing some space for himself. He then rushed into the exit passage and disappeared.
Although he was angry about losing the Ten Shadow Golden Wheel, Chang Xin could still bear it. However, losing a clone caused him deep pain, as it significantly weakened his strength.
What Chang Xin regretted most was realizing he might lose another clone, leading to a further decline in his power. If, over these fifty years, he hadn’t been obsessed with the divine artifacts of the Fallen Realm Divine World but had instead chosen to undergo the divine tribulation, he wouldn’t have lost a clone and could have ascended to the divine world.
But all these regrets were now useless. Having lost one clone, it would be much harder for him to create another water-type clone in the future.

Spatial turbulence comes quickly and disappears just as fast.
Qu Yi and Wu Zun flew together, followed by Wu Yuan and Qing Wu Gui, who all calmly watched the exit passage.
“Chang Xin is truly ruthless—he even sacrificed one of his clones. Such determination is admirable,” Chang Xin said softly.
Although they were enemies, Qu Yi respected his decisiveness.
“Ugh, Chang Xin is quite an impressive figure. I must fight him someday,” Wu Yuan said excitedly.
“I want to fight him too,” Qing Wu Gui said simply.
Qu Yi smiled, then used a spatial jump to reach the planet, throwing all seventy unconscious Tian Hun Xian warriors into the Cun Jie Ball.
At this point, only Qu Yi and the others remained in the Ruin Domain Divine Realm, along with the cultivators from other planets who hadn’t gathered enough identity cards. Qu Yi wouldn’t help them; they could only stay and wait for death here.
About twenty more Tian Hun Xian warriors had escaped the Five Gods’ Fierce Formation and were now on those border planets, waiting for Qu Yi to leave before fleeing the Ruin Domain Divine Realm as well.
Qu Yi wasn’t going to follow those twenty warriors’ wishes and stay near the exit passage all year long, waiting until it closed.
“Qu Yi, you’re too cruel!”
“Qu Yi, you can’t be this ruthless!”
“Qu Yi, can’t you let us go? Why force us to die in this Ruin Domain Divine Realm?”
…
The twenty Tian Hun Xian warriors cried out anxiously in the starry sky. Because as the exit passage closed, a black mist appeared in the realm. This black mist had the effect of confusing souls, causing great unrest.
This black mist was formed from the grayish mist that had appeared earlier. Once it appeared in the Ruin Domain Divine Realm, it immediately destroyed any cultivators still there—those whose soul realms hadn’t mastered a complete set of laws couldn’t resist it. However, this black mist wouldn’t last long. In ten years, the realm would return to calm.
Qu Yi merely sneered, then activated the Boundless Stars and left the Ruin Domain Divine Realm to return to the Immortal Realm.
