Firmament Sword

As the Little Fatty spoke, his expression grew heavy. He looked at Xu Luo and said, ”The man said they came from the Divine Domain. He said we killed their people and have brought a terrible disaster upon ourselves. Before long, a great power from the Divine Domain will descend to conquer us. When that time comes, it won’t just be our nation—this entire world will face a catastrophe!”

”That person... is he still alive?” Xu Luo asked with a frown.

He had heard about the Divine Domain more than once or twice. Both the Cyan Dragon’s Spirit before and the Shaking Light and Dubhe Star Soul later had mentioned the place to him.

Moreover, it was said that his greatest lifelong enemy... Kunpeng, had also fled to the Divine Domain!

Because of this, Xu Luo had always wanted to learn more about the Divine Domain. It wasn’t until he met the last Great Saint of the Ancient Emperor Tribe that he finally gained a general understanding of it.

According to the old man, the Divine Domain was vast and boundless. A single corner of it was countless times larger than the world Xu Luo inhabited! It was also filled with many forbidden lands that not even the Domain Lords of the Divine Domain dared to enter lightly.

The Little Fatty shook his head. ”He’s dead.”

”Dead?” Xu Luo frowned, a little surprised. ’Since he could be captured and was willing to give up some information, it means he didn’t want to die. Could it be... the Little Fatty killed him?’

The Little Fatty looked at Xu Luo and said, ”We didn’t kill him. There seemed to be some kind of mysterious restriction in his body that even he didn’t know about. Six hours after his Dantian was sealed, he self-detonated and died. If we hadn’t just left the area, we probably would have been caught in the blast!”

Xu Luo was surprised. He then asked, ”What else did he confess? Why did they want to kill the Little Emperor? And this matter... what does it have to do with Big Sister-in-law?”

The Little Fatty sighed softly. ”Big Sister-in-law is from the Divine Domain. Years ago, she accidentally entered a forbidden land there, then followed a rift into our world. Her status in the Divine Domain is unspeakably noble, so... her disappearance caused a huge sensation. Countless people were searching for her. At the same time, she was also looking for a way back, and during that process, she met Big Brother...”

Xu Luo was taken aback. He never would have thought that Li Yueru, who was like a Fairy, had such an astonishing identity—that she came from the Divine Domain.

”During the time Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law were together, she had even decided to give up on finding her way home, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him. But who would have known that at that very moment, people from the Divine Domain used various clues to find the rift she had fallen through and followed it into this world!”

”People from the Divine Domain have a special connection with one another. When Big Sister-in-law sensed that someone had come for her, she immediately left Big Brother.”

As he spoke, the Little Fatty glanced at the expressionless Huangfu Chongzhi and said softly, ”It wasn’t that Big Sister-in-law was heartless. I heard from the captive that if the people from the Divine Domain discovered she was with a man from the Lower Realm, they would definitely kill that man... meaning, Big Brother.”

”But even Big Sister-in-law herself didn’t expect that she was pregnant...” The Little Fatty gave Xu Luo a wry smile. ”Her status in the Divine Domain is beyond noble. If she returned pregnant and word accidentally got out... it would surely become a heaven-shattering scandal! Especially since she’s had an arranged marriage in the Divine Domain since childhood... If the other family found out about this, the consequences would be severe.”

”Because of that, the group that came looking for her had no choice but to wait for her to give birth before taking her away. At the time, they promised her they would never speak of the matter, nor would they harm the child or Big Brother.”

At this, a bitter smile appeared on the Little Fatty’s face. ”But it’s the kind of thing you don’t need a brain to figure out. As a noble lady of the Divine Domain, how could she be defiled by someone from the Lower Realm, whom they see as an ant? And that child... in their eyes, he’s an even greater source of instability!”

Xu Luo’s expression turned icy. ”So...” he said slowly.

The Little Fatty nodded. ”So, after her family found out, they dispatched a few Junior Guards through the rift to the Lower Realm. They didn’t send stronger Martial Artists because they thought a few Junior Guards would be enough to flatten our entire mortal nation... Another reason is that the more powerful the Martial Artist, the greater the pressure and cost to cross the rift into the Lower Realm.”

”I see. I understand now.” Xu Luo put down his wine cup and looked at Huangfu Chongzhi. ”Big Brother, what are your thoughts?”

Xu Jie grumbled from the side, ”What is there to think about? To hell with some ’noble lady of the Divine Domain’! To us, she’s our Big Sister-in-law, and she’s Big Brother’s woman!”

Even Sui Yan, who was usually as quiet as a stone, declared, ”We’ll fight our way up there and take Big Sister-in-law back!”

Little Fatty Liu Feng, on the other hand, was much more cautious about the matter. ”I was the one who interrogated that man from the Divine Domain. In their world, they’re just a group of ordinary people, but here in ours, they can easily turn everything upside down. If we hadn’t received that heaven-sent fortune from Third Brother and broken through to this insane realm of power, the result... is easy to imagine!”

The Little Fatty’s words silenced everyone.

Anyone can say impassioned words, but passion... can sometimes mean recklessness.

The experts of the Divine Domain were frighteningly powerful. If just a few Junior Guards could cause such a storm in the Lower Realm, then just how powerful were their truly strong experts?

Could it be that Saint Realm experts, who were extremely rare in this world, were a common sight in the Divine Domain?

In any case, according to the captive, the number of Saints in the Divine Domain wasn’t that high, but they were definitely not considered top-tier experts!

Not to mention, the Cultivation Techniques practiced in the Divine Domain were far superior to those in this world. Therefore, even if Martial Artists of the same realm were to fight, it would be difficult for someone from the Lower Realm to defeat someone from the Divine Domain.

A determined glint flashed in Huangfu Chongzhi’s eyes. He said softly, ”This is my own affair. I will resolve it! I’m going to the Divine Domain!”

”Bullshit! How is this your affair alone?” Xu Jie flared up, looking at Huangfu Chongzhi. ”If you’re going, we brothers go together! We are sworn brothers, companions in life and death for so many years! You think we’d just watch you go to your death?”

”That’s right. Let me research some more Mechanical Skills. When the time comes, we might even be able to trap a Saint from the Divine Domain!” Sui Yan said in a low voice.

The Little Fatty said, ”I may be the most useless one here, but I have a fiery heart! When it comes to my brothers’ affairs, I won’t hold anyone back!”

At this, everyone’s gazes fell upon Xu Luo, because the great fortune that all of them had received came from him.

Xu Luo smiled. ”Those few failed, so the Divine Domain will definitely find out. If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be long before they send more people. And this time, there will certainly be a true great power among them. Perhaps even a Saint Realm expert will appear.”

Everyone fell silent, shaken. Having reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm, they could already see the door before them. People like Huangfu Chongzhi, Xu Jie, and Sui Yan, who had achieved the Skill Dao, could even faintly sense the power of the Saint Realm.

If a Saint truly did descend from the Divine Domain, it would bring a devastating blow to this world.

When a Saint appears, Heaven and Earth weep!

To the people of this world, a Saint was a god-like expert. No one could resist them.

”So, don’t deactivate the City Defense Array. Do your best to stockpile enough Spirit Stones to sustain it for several decades. That way, even if a Saint comes, we can at least hold them off for a while. Then... during this time, I will provide a large amount of Top-Grade Medicinal Materials and Refining Materials to help raise your strength to the next level!”

”As for the Divine Domain... we will go there sooner or later!”

As Xu Luo spoke slowly, a fervent light appeared in everyone’s eyes.

They had received that great fortune and ascended to the heavens in a single step, nearly all of them entering the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm. They even had vast amounts of energy stored within their bodies.

The effects of that heaven-sent fortune were extraordinary. If not for the fact that none of them had reached a high enough realm beforehand, it might have even created a Saint on the spot!

For example, if on that day Xu Luo stirred the heavens and earth and a share of that great fortune had been given to Elder Saint Huo Tongtian of the Ancient Race’s Huo Family, then Huo Tongtian’s strength would have grown terrifyingly. If that had happened, it’s hard to say what the outcome would have been against the Ancient Emperor Tribe’s Elder Saint, whose vitality was already failing.

It was because of this great fortune that the Xu Family’s faction had now become absurdly powerful, causing all the Sect Clans in the Central Plains Star Continent to tremble.

Of their previous rival powers, some had apologized and others had gone into seclusion. Those who held deeper grudges against Xu Luo were even living in constant, unending fear!

Afterward, Xu Luo took out a large quantity of divine materials, giving them to Huangfu Chongzhi and Xu Jie respectively. He then took out some materials related to Mechanical Skill and gave them to Sui Yan.

”I’m going out for a few days to travel around. You don’t need to worry!” Facing the concerned gazes of his friends and family, Xu Luo reassured them, ”This time it really will just be a few days. There are some old friends I need to visit and some old grudges I need to settle.”

”Are you... preparing to go to the Divine Domain?” Phoenix, sharp-witted, asked him softly.

”The Divine Domain is a place I must go, but not now!” Xu Luo said.

Huangfu Shishi asked softly, ”What about after you’ve settled all your affairs?”

Xu Luo smiled and said, ”That will be at least ten years from now!”

Over on the Ancient Race’s side, the Huo Family didn’t know that the Ancient Emperor Tribe’s Great Saint was already dead. They were waiting ten years to invade the Central Plains Star Continent, wanting to perform a Blood Sacrifice for their fallen Elder Saint.

Then there was Su Qianqian. Her marriage was also in ten years, which was when the Su Family Master intended to refine her. Xu Luo planned to step onto the Ancient Race Continent in ten years and resolve all these matters at once!
