The situation was hopeless and unstable at the moment.

Everyone in the Great Wide World was in a state of panic. Even those at the lowest level could feel the changes in this world.

The world began to fall into chaos.

After leaving the Dongchen Small World, Ou Yangming made another trip to the Spiritual Realm and brought Ni Yunhong and the others who were related to him into the poisonous pill’s world.

The small world could be destroyed at any time. Ou Yangming did not want any accidents to happen to them so soon. As long as they were alive, there would be a turning point.

Over the past few days, Ou Yangming had been paying attention to the situation in the Great Wide World. After the promise he made the last time, those top-tier powerhouses were not willing to miss out on the opportunity. As soon as there was any news, they would send a voice transmission to him. Among them, the Mystic Sky Sect, Ruler Shanhai, the Dragons, and the Phoenixes were especially active.

Due to the Great Compassion Divine Dragon, the Dragons had always respected Ou Yangming. When they found out that he was the legendary Ruler Ming, they quickly contacted him and promised to do their best to help him.

Ou Yangming also had the identity of an elder of the Dragons and had an inseparable relationship with them. He was basically the first to know about the news from the other side.

There had been a misunderstanding between him and the Phoenixes, but it had been resolved.

Now that Lil’ Red had become the king of the Phoenixes, Ou Yangming naturally would not hold any grudges against them. The news about the Phoenixes would also be sent to him on purpose.

Those who thought that Ou Yangming did not have any information channels were instantly dumbfounded.

They had never expected that the Ruler Ming would unknowingly obtain information about the entire Great Wide World.

The Dragons, the Phoenixes, and the Humans.

Countless people were exclaiming in their hearts, sighing at the strength of connections.

The situation in the Great Wide World was not optimistic. After the destruction of the Dongchen Small World, other small worlds began to decline one after another. In just half a month, more than 300 small worlds had been destroyed, and the speed was getting faster!

This sent a signal that the Immortal Path to Heaven was about to open.

In the extreme north region of the Great Wide World, a sky full of multicolored light suddenly appeared. The light was boundless, and red clouds floated in the air. It was an uninhabited territory, desolate and lonely. For countless years, very few people had passed by this side. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the sky. A vast and boundless aura came from the sky, and the sky seemed to have been pierced through. A circular beam of light that was 100 meters wide suddenly appeared in the sky.

The light spread outward. In just an instant, the entire Great Wide World saw this beam of light.

“What’s that?”

Numerous people raised their heads and looked in the direction of the extreme north.

They did not know why such a phenomenon would appear in the Great Wide World. Only those almighty powerhouses understood that the Immortal Path to Heaven had been opened.

The time was half a year earlier than what was estimated by the Heavenly Path Alliance!

It had finally opened.

In the northwest direction, a large green bird was looking into the distance with an arrogant look in its eyes.

“Has it begun?” Ruler Ying and the red-robed elder stood up together.

In the heart of origins, a few men with the character “Path” embroidered on their bodies raised their heads to look at the sky.

“The Immortal Path to Heaven has opened. Hurry up and contact Emperor Chi Ming,” one of them said excitedly.

The opening of the Immortal Path to Heaven also meant the end of the Fifth World.

This did not have much to do with them. They only needed to seize the divine sparks, then they could leave calmly. The powerhouses of the Great Wide Worlds were different. They had no way out because the power of the world would firmly restrict them, preventing them from leaving.

Just like trees, their lives were nurtured by the world, and when they died, they would turn into fertilizers to give back to the world.

This sounded a bit cruel, but the truth was often even crueler.

Unless one was equal to heaven!

“Why isn’t Emperor Chi Ming responding?”

The third-step powerhouse who had taken out the Spiritual Talisman just now suddenly frowned and asked.

“Emperor might’ve gone to the Immortal Path. That’s why he didn’t have time to respond to us.”

“That’s not right. Sect Leader said that this talisman was left behind by Emperor Chi Ming when he came to the Fifth World. If I speak here, Emperor Chi Ming will be able to hear me clearly. If he knows we’re here, he’ll surely respond. Even if he doesn’t have time to pick us up, he’d still tell us a location and let us go by ourselves.”

“Then why isn’t there a response?” A person frowned and asked.

The person beside him asked, “Seventeenth Elder, don’t tell me you think something happened to Emperor Chi Ming?”

‘Something happened to Emperor Chi Ming?’ The few of them laughed out loud.

What kind of joke was this? Emperor Chi Ming was one of the top powerhouses in their world. As long as the invincible Heavenly Rank powerhouses did not return, he was invincible in this world.

How could something happen to an emperor?

“I’m sure Emperor just doesn’t have the time to respond to us. Luckily, I brought the Sky-observing Mirror this time. Finding Emperor Chi Ming won’t be a problem.”

“Thirteen, I didn’t expect you to bring this good thing. Aren’t you afraid of losing it here?”

That person from before looked arrogant. “How many people in this tiny Fifth World are my match? If we work together, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to sweep through half of the Great Wide World. Besides, the emperor is still here.”

“That’s true. This tiny Fifth World isn’t worth mentioning. Let’s quickly see where the emperor is,” someone urged.

A stream of light shone on the mirror, and that person silently chanted a few incantations.

He pointed his finger at the mirror, and the light on the mirror disappeared, revealing a dark grey color.

“What’s going on?” The few of them were stunned.

This Sky-observing Mirror was the treasure of the Thirteenth Elder. They all knew the use of it.

As long as there was a person’s aura or something else, they could locate that person’s position through the mirror. Under normal circumstances, a point of light would appear, and one would be able to find that person by moving in the direction of that light.

Why did it turn grey?

“This shouldn’t be. Thirteen, is there something wrong with your mirror?”

The Thirteenth Elder’s expression was grave. He silently recited a few more incantations, and a speck of light appeared on it. This speck of light overlapped with their position.

He said, “No. I just tested Seventeen’s position and found it accurately.”

“Could it be that Emperor Chi Ming has blocked the heavenly secrets?” Someone asked with uncertainty.

“Impossible. Blocking the heavenly secrets is something only a powerhouse equal to heaven is qualified to do. Emperor Chi Ming is incredibly powerful, but he can’t do it. Besides, this Great Wide World is different from our world’s origin power. It’s even more difficult to block the heavenly secrets here.”

“Then what’s going on?”

“Could it be that…”

The mirror was not broken, but it could not show the other party’s location. There was only one possibility. The person being searched was no longer in this world.

Not being in this world could mean 2 things. The first was that the person was dead.

The powerhouses could not believe this result. How could the incomparably powerful Emperor Chi Ming die, and even in this weak Fifth World? No one would believe this fact.

There was another possibility. The emperor was no longer in this world.

“Could it be that the emperor has returned to the Third World?” This situation did not make sense.

Emperor Chi Ming had come for the Immortal Path to Heaven. Now that the Immortal Path had opened, why would the emperor leave?

However, if he did not leave, how could this be explained?

“This problem is very serious. We have to figure it out.” The 6 people’s expressions became serious.

If Emperor Chi Ming returned to the Third World or went to another world, it would be fine. That said, if he died here…

Then it meant that there must be someone in this Great Wide World whose strength was close to the Heavenly Rank.

If they acted on their own, it was very likely that they would lose their lives in vain.

“Twenty-six, go back and clarify this matter. If the emperor has returned, tell him that the Immortal Path has opened. Tell him to come over quickly. If he isn’t there…” The person who spoke paused then continued, “If he isn’t there, tell the sect leader what we know. I believe that the sect leader will have a correct judgment.”

“Yes, Seventh Brother.” The youngest man flew toward the unhealed tunnel and soon disappeared.

“Seventh Brother, what should we do now?”

“Before we receive any news from the emperor, we should keep a low profile. Anyway, the opening of the Immortal Path will last for a year. Every month, a piece of divine spark will appear. If something really happens to the emperor, at worst, we’ll give up the first time. I believe the sect leader will have a way to deal with it soon.

“We can only do this now. Sir Dao Xuanji will return in the seventh month. At that time, we can basically rest easy.

“Now, the news from the emperor is still more important.”

Old Seven glanced around then said, “Let’s leave this place first and figure out the situation of the Great Wide World.”

In the faraway Fallen Land.

After the light from the extreme north appeared, the fog that shrouded the continent gradually disappeared.

“Sky Demon God, the fog has dispersed!” After a surprised cry, 5 Dark Beasts and Devil Dwellers who were Devil Gods flew out from the Fallen Land.

“We’re finally out! The ancient books were right. The Fallen Land is an abandoned place. There’s indeed a vast and boundless world outside.”

“How refreshing. The outside world is our true stage. It’s too depressing to be trapped in the Fallen Land for countless years.” A devil dweller touched the sword on his waist.

“Sky Demon God, what do you plan to do after we leave?” The devil dweller suddenly asked.

“I plan to find that strange guy. Last time, he almost killed us in the fog. If I find him, I’ll tear him into pieces!”

“Count me in!” The other beast said.

“That guy isn’t simple. With me, there should be no problem,” the devil dweller said.

“Haha, what about the 2 of you?” The devil dweller turned around and asked.

The 2 dark beasts joined them later.

“We don’t know much about the outside world anyway, so we’ll join you. I want to see who’s so powerful that almost killed the 3 of you.” The two laughed.

At the mention of that person, the devil dweller was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

“Okay, the 5 of us together.. As long as we find him, we can tear him into pieces in an instant.”
