As the entire celestial source vein was extracted.

The whole planet began to tremble, like an 18-magnitude earthquake, with countless cracks spreading across the land.

The surface of the planet was instantly covered with fracture marks.

After the ancestral vein was removed, it left behind a giant crevice like a deep abyss canyon.

At the same time, the spiritual energy in this region began to dissipate, rapidly decreasing.

With the ancestral vein extracted, it was as if the source of living water had been blocked.

Spiritual energy naturally began to deplete, and would eventually disappear completely.

"You... you collected the celestial source vein into a spatial artifact?" Ling Yuan's red lips parted slightly, quite surprised.

Such a celestial source vein, like an ancient dragon, couldn't be contained even in ordinary artifacts, right?

It wasn't that Ling Yuan lacked knowledge about inner universes.

But Jun Xiaoyao was only at the Great Saint realm.

Ling Yuan couldn't possibly imagine that Jun Xiaoyao possessed an inner universe.

Moreover, if Jun Xiaoyao concealed his aura and wanted to hide it.

Others would absolutely find it difficult to detect the inner universe fluctuations within Jun Xiaoyao.

Meng Zhan was also somewhat shocked, then thought of something.

But he subconsciously denied it.

Because even he, a quasi-Supreme, hadn't yet cultivated an inner universe.

He didn't even have the embryonic form.

"It must be some ancient spatial artifact," Meng Zhan thought to himself.

Ling Yuan was already speechless.

She could only sit cross-legged alone to the side, closing her eyes to meditate.

Jun Xiaoyao then took out some top-tier healing pills for Meng Zhan.

"Captain, you all recover from your injuries first, then we'll set out," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Thank you, Divine Son."

Meng Zhan expressed his gratitude, then he and a group of wounded began to meditate.

Recovering from injuries was very necessary.

Otherwise, fighting against beings from other realms while injured would lead to a quicker death.

After Meng Zhan left, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed contemplation.

Initially, he indeed wanted to complete the mission and disrupt the other realm's plan to unseal the divine consciousness.

But now it seemed that if he wanted to obtain the World Tree deep within the Divine Ruins World.

He would need the help of the divine consciousness.

Because with just their group alone, it would be difficult to break through the seal left by the Azure Emperor.

Let alone obtain the World Tree.

Jun Xiaoyao had previously thought about directly letting the divine consciousness break the seal, then break the World Tree's seal.

This idea was indeed crazy.

One misstep, and the Divine Ruins World would collapse, and the border region would face a great calamity.

By reason and emotion, Jun Xiaoyao shouldn't have such thoughts.

But Jun Xiaoyao wasn't a hero, but a hegemon.

And don't forget, Jun Xiaoyao still had the lotus seed.

He vaguely felt that this lotus seed should be a contingency left by the Azure Emperor to deal with the divine consciousness.

It just hadn't fully awakened yet.

After being soaked in the Spring of Life, it should eventually manifest some kind of ability.

"This plan is like retrieving something from fire, one misstep and everything is lost, but... it's worth the gamble!"

Jun Xiaoyao's deep eyes carried a trace of determination.

Sometimes, one needs the courage to take a risk.

This way, the beings from other realms also became part of Jun Xiaoyao's plan.

Now, Jun Xiaoyao was like the chess player.

The entire Divine Ruins World was the chessboard.

And the Seven Rebel Emperors and beings from other realms, seemingly his enemies, were actually his chess pieces.

This could be said to be Jun Xiaoyao's biggest gambit since reaching the Ultimate Ancient Path.

If he could win, he would completely transform, and even win this game of chess against heaven!

If he lost, the consequences would be terrifying.

Not only affecting Jun Xiaoyao, but also this border region and even the entire Nine Heavens Divine Realm.

It could be said this was Jun Xiaoyao's great gamble.

No other young genius had Jun Xiaoyao's courage and determination.

"I still need to continue improving my realm, strength is the foundation of everything," Jun Xiaoyao thought.

The celestial source vein had already been incorporated into his inner universe, and Jun Xiaoyao could use that vast spiritual energy to advance further.

Jun Xiaoyao also immersed himself in cultivation.

If his strength improved, it would undoubtedly give him more confidence in the entire plan.

While Jun Xiaoyao was deep in cultivation.

The other six teams were also searching for the location of the divine consciousness.

The remaining geniuses who had entered the Divine Ruins World also had their initial encounters with beings from other realms, engaging in battles.

Of course, the battles were cruel.

Throughout the Divine Ruins World, various screams of agony echoed from time to time.

Meanwhile, in a certain area of the Divine Ruins World.

A crimson warship traversed through the cosmic void.

Around it were dense clusters of beings from other realms.

At the bow of the warship stood a young man wearing a crimson feathered robe.

He had a pair of crimson eyes, within which seemed to swirl a sea of fire.

Behind him was a pair of crimson wings, like two heavenly blades.

Behind him, there was vaguely the phenomenon of a sea of fire, with countless beings wailing within, suffering the torment of being burned by myriad fires.

This person was the young powerhouse from the Crimson Hawk clan, Chi Lingkong.

The Crimson Hawk was a type of inauspicious bird born from fire disasters.

It was rumored that the powerhouses of this clan could transform the world into a fiery hell.

The Crimson Hawk lineage was previously a top royal clan in other realms.

But because the strongest in their clan, the Crimson Hawk King, successfully advanced to become an Immortal King.

So the entire clan ascended, reaching a higher level.

As long as there was one Immortal King, the race they belonged to could become a quasi-imperial clan.

Of course, to become a true immortal imperial clan, having an Immortal King alone was not enough.

They also needed various profound foundations.

And now, standing before Chi Lingkong was a group of beings from other realms.

The leader was clearly the quasi-Supreme from the Heavenly Demon royal clan from before.

"Hmph, so the person from the Jun family of the divine realm has finally appeared?" Chi Lingkong's lips curled into a cold smile.

The current generation of the Crimson Hawk lineage had two young geniuses.

One was him, Chi Lingkong, and the other was his brother Chi Hongyu.

Chi Hongyu was one of the leading figures among the younger generation of other realms, always in secluded cultivation, and had not come to the Divine Ruins World.

"The Eight Heavenly Demon Riders have already perished, it seems this Jun Xiaoyao is indeed as described in the intelligence reports," Chi Lingkong murmured.

Previously, when entering the Divine Ruins World.

Some top young powerhouses from other realms received intelligence from their realm's intelligence organization.

It recorded some figures from the divine realm that needed attention.

The first one written was Jun Xiaoyao.

The current Divine Son of the Jun family, Zero Sequence, and the seed-level figure of the current divine realm.

With those buried seeds not emerging, Jun Xiaoyao was undoubtedly the first, undefeated so far.

"However, this way, defeating Jun Xiaoyao will be more interesting."

"I will continue the glory of the great Crimson Hawk King, without my brother's help, I can sweep through the younger generation of the Jun family!" Chi Lingkong's tone was very grand.

Or rather, the personalities of beings from other realms were mostly arrogant and full of fighting spirit.

"But before that, I need to go to another discovered seal location. As for Jun Xiaoyao, I will personally slay him later," Chi Lingkong said with a cold smile.

The quasi-imperial clans that came to the Divine Ruins World weren't just his Crimson Hawk lineage.

Moreover, young lords from immortal imperial clans might arrive later.

Chi Lingkong wanted to kill the strongest of the younger generation from the divine realm, which was Jun Xiaoyao, before that.

To establish great merit, allowing the Crimson Hawk lineage's prestige to rise another level.
