Rumbling.
The chaotic expanse where the realm of life and death was created in the four directions.
Their goal was clear: Great Worlds of the fifth and sixth order.
In the current Thunder Domain, most of the chaos beasts had gathered in the Dragon-Phoenix Domain; that was the territory of the chaos beasts.
Elsewhere, the chaos beasts were not living comfortably.
Therefore, within the Four Directions Domain, when the realm of life and death began its sweep, there was almost no opposition.
However, a full month passed in an instant.
"Something's wrong."
Within the Great Dao Universe of the realm of life and death, everyone gathered: "It's been a month, and we haven't encountered a single world?"
It was almost unbelievable.
"There's nothing we can do."
Among the crowd, the figure of Emperor Yu was present.
He sighed, "Although Great Worlds of the fifth and sixth order cannot be hidden, there are many special methods to conceal them."
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan looked at Emperor Yu, this veteran Heavenly Emperor, with surprise: "What methods can even hide Great Worlds?"
What he knew was that Great Worlds of the fifth and sixth order could no longer be hidden.
But from Emperor Yu, there seemed to be a different answer.
Emperor Yu continued, "There are two people in the Four Directions Domain who have cultivated special Daos that can hide worlds."
"Although it's ineffective against Great Emperors, it's difficult for those below the Great Emperor realm to discover them..."
"Within the Four Directions Domain, some weaker worlds have sought out these two individuals for help in hiding their worlds."
"Even many powerful worlds, to avoid inadvertently participating in the struggle between worlds, have chosen to hide."
Chen Fan pondered, "Who are those two people? Does Emperor Yu know?"
"I do."
Emperor Yu nodded, "They are quite famous; almost every world that has existed for over a thousand years knows of them."
"The first person is named Shu Yuan, and the Dao he cultivates is named the Dao of Tribulation, a very special Dao."
"Dao of Tribulation?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Emperor Yu continued, "The so-called Dao of Tribulation can also be called the Dao of Avoiding Calamity, ensuring safety. As long as the power of the Dao of Tribulation is enveloped around the world, one can perceive danger in advance and avoid it."
"Just as the realm of life and death is searching for other worlds, this is a crisis for those other worlds. The Dao of Tribulation will predict the direction of the crisis in advance and then avoid it."
"Impressive."
After hearing Emperor Yu's explanation, Chen Fan sighed, "The Great Thousand Worlds are full of wonders."
Although Emperor Yu didn't know much, just hearing his explanation, Chen Fan could imagine the power of the Dao of Tribulation.
"Indeed, it is impressive."
Emperor Yu had known this for a long time.
He continued, "Countless people have been searching for this person named Shu Yuan. Even the Four Great Domains have been looking for him, but there has been no news."
This made Shu Yuan even more mysterious.
It could be said that as long as he didn't appear voluntarily, almost no one could find him.
"What about the other one?" Chen Fan asked.
"The other one is named Qi Nan..."
"Wait."
Upon hearing the name Qi Nan, Chen Fan interrupted him.
"Does City Lord Chen know him?" Emperor Yu asked in surprise.
"I do indeed know him." Chen Fan nodded.
Back then, when he was wandering in the chaos, he encountered a wandering rogue named Qi Nan.
It was that Qi Nan who had told him the location of the Rock Realm.
Emperor Yu was surprised: "You've actually met Qi Nan?"
"Why?"
Chen Fan was confused, "He's just a mere Emperor."
Qi Nan wasn't even a Heavenly Emperor.
Emperor Yu gave a bitter smile, "City Lord might have missed out on a great opportunity."
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan became even more bewildered, "Explain in detail."
Emperor Yu did not hesitate and said directly, "Qi Nan, although just an Emperor, and on the surface only comprehending the Wind Dao, this person... is somewhat different."
"How so?"
"This person has two sides."
Chen Fan frowned, "Are you talking about schizophrenia?"
"According to the realm of life and death, yes, it is schizophrenia."
Emperor Yu looked at Chen Fan, his expression becoming serious, "This Qi Nan has two sides. The one you met back then might have been the righteous side, cultivating the normal Wind Dao."
"What City Lord doesn't know is that this Qi Nan also has an evil side, comprehending a mutated Wind Dao called the Wind of Severance, which can cut open an unhealable rift in the chaos and hide a world within it."
"What?"
Chen Fan shot to his feet.
Able to cut through chaos and make it unhealable?
One must know that the healing ability of chaos is extremely strong.
Powerful individuals often shattered the chaos with their attacks.
However, it wouldn't take long for all the shattered rifts to heal automatically.
And that Qi Nan could make the chaos unhealable.
If this ability were cultivated to perfection, wouldn't it be possible to cut the Thunder Domain in half?
This ability was indeed a special Wind Dao.
The unhealable Wind of Severance, this ability was too powerful.
Emperor Yu said with a wry smile, "That's why I said City Lord missed out on a great opportunity."
"If City Lord had captured Qi Nan that day and brought him under your command, and helped him advance to the Heavenly Emperor realm, the realm of life and death would likely have reached a new height."
"It is indeed regrettable."
Before, he didn't know; now that he knew, Chen Fan naturally regretted it.
Although he had no enmity with Qi Nan, wasn't the chaos like this?
"Qi Nan, Shu Yuan."
He remembered these two names.
After a long while, he could only sigh, "It seems that unifying the Four Directions Domain will also be very difficult."
Even the Four Great Domains couldn't find these two, and he didn't think he could achieve it.
Dao of Tribulation, Evil Wind Dao.
These mutated Daos possessed special abilities.
Compared to the Yin-Yang and Life-Death Dual Extremity Daos, although they lacked some special variations, they possessed the ability to reach an extreme in a certain aspect.
"Let's keep searching."
With no other option, they could only send people to continue searching.
The chaos among the Four Great Domains would not last long.
...
Divine Heaven Domain.
The real battle had ended a month ago.
Ten Great Emperors from the Sword Domain and the Scarlet Sun Domain had perished here.
On this day, the Divine Heaven Emperor stood with the Ice Emperor.
"Divine Heaven fellow Daoist, what have you considered regarding my previous suggestion?" the Ice Emperor asked.
After the previous battle, the Ice Emperor had suggested that Divine Heaven should invite more people in.
"Let's see..."
The Divine Heaven Emperor hesitated.
In the current Divine Heaven Domain, the power from outside the domain was already on par with the Divine Heaven Domain.
If more people were invited in, even without an eighth-order expert, a few more seventh-order experts would be enough to take over.
This was the point of his hesitation.
"Heh heh."
The Ice Emperor showed no disappointment at this outcome.
Instead, he smiled, "The wind is rising. The weak Divine Heaven Domain will become the main target of the other three Great Worlds."
"Divine Heaven fellow Daoist, if I leave now..."
He believed Divine Heaven understood the unsaid words.
"Do you dare?"
Divine Heaven sneered, "Without the coverage of my Divine Heaven Dao power, try to leave?"
The Thunder Domain and the Great Bright Domain were enemies.
In the past, an extraterrestrial expert had secretly infiltrated the Thunder Domain, causing a riot.
Endless heavenly tribulations struck down and killed all the intruders.
Tribulations that would not cease until death.
