Chapter 668: Chapter 417: The Sixth Life in the Mortal World, Xinglan Empire!

Celestial Martial Realm!

Dragon Country’s world of Red Dust, for Lu Xuan, was nothing but a temporary stop, a trial ground devoid of resources.

Upon leaving, he left some legacies for the Lu Family, and offered some opportunities to Hong Fei and the Huang Family... as a form of repayment.

In that Red Dust world of Dragon Country, which was in the End of Dharma Era, the amount of universal essence Lu Xuan could absorb and refine was pitifully small.

Exhausting the primordial essence accumulated for ages in the Kunlun Lakes, he only managed to acquire 29 million points, using 20 million to break through to the realm of Shattered Void.

So, upon returning to the Celestial Martial Realm, he was left with 9 million points, plus the remaining 1 million points, totaling barely 10 million system points.

This accumulation, for him now, was simply a drop in the ocean.

Even for advancing any Cultivation Technique further, it was far from enough.

Dragon Country’s world, in that End of Dharma era, was too low in level, resources exhausted, and laws incomplete.

It could barely support Lu Xuan in completing the fifth world of Red Dust trials and advancing his cultivation to the realm of "Shattered Void" to open the escape passage, already its limit.

Given such a meager world level, expecting it to be like the previous higher worlds is out of the question.

To freely locate the avatars of the world’s will and then harvest the abundant universal essence is a pipe dream.

The moment the world’s will avatar shows itself, a mere Shattered Void martial cultivator like Lu Xuan would be extinguished with a mere gaze.

"Since Dragon Country is lacking, then continue forward to the next world of Red Dust."

Lu Xuan’s dao heart was as firm as rock, without the slightest discouragement.

Being a Red Dust Immortal, he is destined to traverse myriad realms, vying in endless trials.

He refuses to believe that within the vast and limitless realms, there isn’t a Red Dust world that can provide the nutrients he needs to grow till he becomes utterly invincible!

When that time comes, Lu Xuan vows to extract the essence of that world, reclaiming what was wasted living muddled in this "backwater" of Dragon Country!

Once his mind was set, Lu Xuan sensed the intricate immortal restrictions set around him, ensuring no external detections could penetrate, then slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, the void in front of Lu Xuan silently split open like fragile glass, revealing a deep fissure!

Beyond the fissure lay an unknown realm, full of bizarre laws and interwoven forces.

Lu Xuan’s soul instantly turned into an indescribable stream of light, leaped from his flesh, and into the fissure in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

"Chishan! How dare you betray the Empire, fall into the deep crimson... The Sun and Moon Royal Court will never let you go! The captain... the captain and the others will tear you limb from limb!"

Hoarse and desperate shouts rang out in the dead silence of an endless sea of sand.

A few outdated jeeps lay tilted beside the dunes, wisps of white smoke rising from the scalding hoods, soon shredded by the hot winds.

This was a fragmentary inferno.

The cracked land was crisscrossed with ravines, as if ripped apart by an invisible claw of a monstrous beast.

A few men in scarlet uniforms lay on this scorched earth, their mutilated bodies a shocking sight—broken limbs, pierced chest armor, and the fresh blood staining the sand a deep brown.

The thick smell of blood was almost solid, suffocating.

And before them, stood the being once called "Chishan."

It had already transcended human limits.

Its mouth tore to the ears in defiance of physiological structure, revealing rows of shark-like sharp teeth within.

A pair of crimson eyes were devoid of emotion, filled only with pure madness and malice.

The most terrifying were its ten fingers—nails transformed into dagger-sharp black bone blades, with sticky blood slowly dripping from the blade tips.

"Hehehe..."

Inhuman laughter rang out again, scraping everyone’s sanity.

"Sun and Moon Royal Court? Starry Empire? Those parasites clinging to the throne of power, their era... is over."

Chishan’s bone blade slowly rose, pointing towards the bloodstained sky.

"Look at this sky, feel the earth beneath your feet! The arrival of deep crimson is no longer past illusion, but a reality in progress!

It is the rebirth of civilization, the funeral of the old world!

You’ll never stop it, as long as there’s the slightest injustice, a bit of pain, a sliver of greed and desire in this world... deep crimson will devour all false order!"

"Let go of your pitiful resistance, embrace it, let deep crimson flow into your veins, granting you... true power."

It leaned down, its voice filled with deadly temptation.

"Look at me, once just an obedient hound under the Empire’s command.

But now, I possess the power to tear apart the shackles, this is the most complete revenge for us commoners against this unjust world!"

Abruptly, Chishan’s voice was cut off, drowned by a curse.

"Damn your deep crimson!"

The man with a severed foot, veins bulged on his neck, hoarsely shouting in rage, almost tearing the scorching air apart.

The severe pain and the sight of comrades’ tragic death had burned the last of his sanity.

On the man’s damaged body, countless starry points burst forth from every pore, surrounded by radiating brilliance, forming a miniature galaxy in this barren desert.

As an "Extraordinary" of the "Starry Empire," he knew this was like a moth flying into the flame.𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂
