Within the Primal Chaos Realm, countless beings were shocked by that sky-obscuring giant hand that seemed to envelop an entire realm.
In Great Xia, within each famous mountain and great river, within the grotto heavens sacred ground, The Ancient One’s powerful experts briefly awoke from their slumber, feeling that supreme force capable of suppressing the heaven and earth of this place.
Even within the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, the Golden Immortal Bai Yun, who impersonated the Clarity Void Exalted One, also looked startled and fearful at this moment.
As a former attendant to the Clarity Void Exalted One, Bai Yun had an impression of the well-known Exalted Ones and Emperors throughout the realms.
Yet, for this Fengdu Emperor, he had never heard of him, and he didn’t regard the other party as a true Divinity Path Emperor.
Even though the Fengdu Emperor had once demonstrated Divine might in Tai Province, Bai Yun merely thought it was some kind of special technique.
In Bai Yun’s view, the cultivation level of Fengdu Emperor at best was only at the Golden Immortal Peak, roughly on par with him, perhaps in possession of a fragmented piece of the Great Dao’s origin.
Now, it seemed that being able to wield such power in this fragmented world certainly meant he was a genuine Divinity Path Emperor, with strength far beyond his imagination.
However, after a brief moment of fear, what arose in Bai Yun’s heart was several degrees of greed.
"This is the power of a Divinity Path Emperor on par with Taoism’s Exalted One, the true might of the Highest Heaven Realm.
If I could pick the fruits of the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power, I might not fall short of this Fengdu Emperor."
With this thought in mind, Bai Yun grew even more eager for the day when the Void Refining True Monarch could appear in this world.
And far beyond the boundaries of Great Xia, there still lay the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the Four Extremities Wilderness, and numerous overseas islands in the Primal Chaos Realm.
These regions were inhabited by many local deities who wished to stay away from humanity’s territories. Here, divine lineages stood tall, and powerful experts were too numerous to count.
Faced with the sky-obscuring giant hand, even these distant deities outside Great Xia’s borders cast shocked glances its way.
Months ago, the manifestation of Emperor Fengdu’s shadow to cleanse several provinces, although shocking, did not create much of a stir in these overseas regions due to the vast distance separating them from Great Xia’s mainland.
However, the sky-obscuring giant hand was too large, its imposing pressure covering an entire realm, something utterly beyond the reach of ordinary mortal realms.
When this giant hand descended, wherever one was within the Primal Chaos Realm no longer mattered, and overseas gods began to feel fear.
And when that majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth, all beings witnessing this spectacle subconsciously prostrated and respectfully responded:
"We shall heed the Emperor’s decree!"
...
Under the supervision of all beings in this heaven and earth, Shen Yuan slowly retracted his right hand.
As the triple origins’ blessings dissipated, Shen Yuan also withdrew from that seemingly omnipotent power.
He took a deep breath, his Mana and the power of the Yang God inside him were already depleted, and even the Primordial Elemental Qi within the Secret Realm Square-Inch, which had merged with his Sleeve Space, had been completely extracted by Shen Yuan.
A hint of relief appeared in his eyes as Shen Yuan barely steadied his body and looked towards the Netherworld, which was merging with the incense offering magic domain.
Given Shen Yuan’s current Spirit Transmutation Peak realm, he would definitely not have been able to wield such power on his own.
The so-called Mana, the power of the Yang God, and Primordial Elemental Qi were all just minor details. What truly allowed Shen Yuan to mobilize this power was the three origins he bore.
The Gods Purging Divine Power, symbolic of the Divinity Path; the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, representing the Ghost Path; and the humanity fate, which held the sway of humanity’s destiny.
Shen Yuan gathered the humanity fate of this world to enhance the Divinity Path Emperor’s incorporeal persona, then leveraged the Netherworld’s force to pry into the world of Primal Chaos Realm’s will.
To Primal Chaos Realm, the incense offering magic domain was nothing but a massive malignant tumor, incapable of being destroyed nor allowed to grow naturally.
Shen Yuan, with the blessings of the three origins, obtained the qualifications to negotiate with the will of heaven and earth.
There was only one object of this negotiation, and that was the incense offering magic domain.
Shen Yuan actively helped the will of heaven and earth resolve the crisis of the incense offering magic domain, without demanding any price.
Just one thing was necessary: the force of the Primal Chaos Realm’s will must be borrowed to integrate the incense offering magic domain into the Netherworld.
Though the will of heaven and earth lacked true wisdom, faced with a deal that was all advantage and no harm, it naturally agreed to help.
The Primal Chaos Realm lifted all restrictions, the status of this vast world was all placed upon Shen Yuan, allowing him to briefly and completely manifest Emperor Fengdu’s incorporeal persona, forcibly merging the incense offering magic domain into the Netherworld.
Although the external manifestation was slightly exaggerated by a tiny bit, the giant hand was solely targeted at the incense offering magic domain and did not possess any real offensive capabilities.
Moreover, if not for the Primal Chaos Realm sensing an odd threat, it would not have possibly lifted its restrictions to assist Shen Yuan.
The success of Shen Yuan’s action was crafted from various opportunities that were within reach yet unattainable.
Of course, the benefits Shen Yuan gained from merging the incense offering magic domain into the Netherworld were also immense.
Originally, the Netherworld, although called the land of the Yin World, was not really expansive, with most of its core concentrated within Fengdu City.
Constrained by the kingdom of Hell, the Netherworld had the status but not the reality of the Yin World.
But with the merger of the incense offering magic domain into the Netherworld, everything underwent an earth-shattering change.
The territory of the incense offering magic domain was vast, nearly equivalent to Great Xia. With the incense offering magic domain acquired, the Netherworld was no longer limited by its own territory and could become a true Yin World.
What’s more, the incense offering magic domain was closely connected to the current world. All 3,651 City Gods within the confines of Great Xia had entered the incense offering magic domain, which meant that the Netherworld could control the All City Gods system through this part of the Yin World, and its own incense offering willpower would no longer be restricted.
