If this were an ordinary body, it would have taken an eternity just to consume and refine such immense energy.

"Zhao Yin. Or perhaps I should call you Star Lord? Or an unknown visitor from beyond the stars."

"You’re not the only special one in this world. You see its people as nothing more than ants, fodder to fuel your recovery. But little do you know, even an army of ants can take down an elephant!"

Wang Xiao’s towering form looked down at Zhao Yin. His entire frame, muscles and bones alike, began to vibrate as his blood boiled, emitting thunderous booms.

His body began to emit a faint glow.

As his vital energy surged, his body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its normal size.

However, even at his normal size, he gave off the impression that he wasn’t a man at all, but an Ancient Fierce Beast—a volcano that had been building pressure for millennia, ready to erupt at any moment!

Zhao Yin’s expression changed abruptly, his composure shattering.

"Y-You... You’re not from this world, either! Your Great Daoist Nascent Soul contains none of my Yin Spirit Thoughts. The method you cultivate... it’s not mine!"

When he had activated his Yin Spirit just now, he hadn’t sensed any reaction whatsoever from Wang Chongyang’s Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

This could only be possible if Wang Chongyang wasn’t cultivating the method based on Incense and Layman’s Certificates.

He was certain that the creatures of this world were incapable of creating a new cultivation system.

And it was even more unlikely that the planetary consciousness had provided it.

After all, the planetary consciousness was merely a collective of all living beings. It operated according to its own natural laws and couldn’t possibly research and develop a complete cultivation system.

Therefore, the man before him was most likely just like him—an outsider from beyond the heavens.

Moreover, his Yin Spirit must have traveled across space to get here.

’No wonder the man’s cultivation speed was so astonishing.’

’He had reached the Dao Realm in less than a century!’

’But this was far too much of a coincidence.’

’A Yin Spirit travels across the void and just so happens to occupy a body constructed from my own flesh and blood?!’

’Most importantly, how could this person possibly discover this remote planet and travel to it with such precision?’

’Even Cosmic Level experts can’t do something like that, can they?!’

’Unless he’s a Divine King or a Domain Lord.’

’Impossible!’

’Divine Kings and Domain Lords comprehended Cosmic Level rules long ago. Even if one of their Yin Spirits traveled here, it wouldn’t be this weak.’ 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

’Then, there’s only one other possibility!’

At this thought, Zhao Yin couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at Wang Xiao.

"You have a Curiosity, too, don’t you? It’s what brought you to this planet!"

Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered at his words.

’A Curiosity?’

’Is he talking about the Book of Space-Time?!’

’It seems this guy knows far more than I imagined.’

[Analyzing]

[Analysis Successful]

[Zhao Yin, Great Hao Divine Emperor, 3,600 years old. At the age of thirty, his body was possessed by a Tier Seven Life Thought. He successfully seized the throne from among the other Princes and, through diligent rule, developed the Great Hao Divine Dynasty into this world’s foremost power...]

[Note: This subject possesses a Curiosity fragment capable of connecting to the Curiosity’s main body. Refining the main body will unlock a new ability for the Book of Space-Time.]

Wang Xiao stared at the lines of text flashing before him, his gaze hardening.

’A Curiosity?!’

’No wonder Zhao Yin asked if I had a Curiosity as well.’

’So he has one, too?!’

’What in the world is this Curiosity, for the Book of Space-Time to give it a special notation!’

’It must be incredibly important to the Book of Space-Time!’

’It seems that whether I want to get the information I need or the Curiosity fragment from him, Zhao Yin has to die!’

Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes.

He hadn’t managed to analyze much information about this Tier Seven Life.

He would just have to defeat Zhao Yin and then perform a Soul Search on him.

The knowledge possessed by a Tier Seven Life would be more than enough for him to map out his future cultivation path!

Of course, the most important thing was still the Curiosity!

To think that refining this Curiosity could unlock a new ability for the Book of Space-Time.

Right now, the Book of Space-Time seemed limited to sending his Soul Projection to other worlds; it didn’t have any other special abilities.

Wang Xiao was quite curious as to what this new ability might be.

’It seems my previous guess was right. The Book of Space-Time might not be complete; it could be fragmented. Only by refining Curiosities or other such items can it slowly be restored!’

In a flash, Wang Xiao processed all these thoughts.

He looked at Zhao Yin, his expression noncommittal.

"A Curiosity? Perhaps. But does it even matter now?"

Zhao Yin’s eyes narrowed, killing intent seething from his entire being.

"You’re right, it doesn’t matter anymore. You won’t leave here alive today, even if you’ve broken through beyond the Dao Realm!"

RUMBLE!

In that instant, Zhao Yin’s aura began to climb infinitely.

The entire world seemed to boil in unison, as if letting out a heaven-shaking dragon’s roar!

Terrifying, dragon-shaped currents of energy coiled around him, so tangible they seemed real as they surged toward the sky.

Each one shimmered like molten gold, radiant and iridescent!

Thousands of them soared into the air, obscuring the heavens and seemingly forming a colossal Seal Technique!

In that moment...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Bingzhou, Yunzhou, the Divine Land, Yu State, Hezhou... one after another, the provinces began to tremble.

Across the lands of the Nine Provinces, Celestial Demons hidden away in special dimensions seemed to be linked by some unseen force, slowly beginning to stir.

The next moment, the vast reserves of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism that they had devoured over tens of thousands of years began to converge frenziedly toward Zhao Yin!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yin’s aura soared infinitely, also reaching a level beyond the Dao Realm.

However, this was already the absolute limit he could currently reach.
