Shards of a collapsing Secret Realm were scattered everywhere, amidst chaotic spatial turbulence.

Under the combined assault of the Baylong Religion and the Shadow Covenant, the Yan Ming King ultimately failed to prevent the Secret Realm's disintegration.

The Stand-in Saint Master protected Wang Linchi from harm. Thanks to his Secret Silver Level Physique, and fortuitously, the shattered Secret Realm did not involve attacks on the Soul or Spirit. For this reason, although the Saint Master was injured, he recovered quickly.

"Find a branch of the Tree of Immortality to hide behind," Wang Linchi said, glancing at the Yan Ming King; the distance between them was far too great.

The spatial turbulence was overwhelming, making it impossible to get close. Being swept somewhere else wouldn't be so bad, but he feared being torn directly to shreds.

The Saint Master received the command and, with his agile body, quickly found a relatively safe area.

The Saint Master is impeccable in battle, but in other regards, he is far too rigid and needs my commands to act. Wang Linchi noted down the Stand-in Saint Master's shortcomings, intending to correct them slowly later. This was the first time he had created a Guardian Spirit Stand-in. How could it be perfect from birth? If it were, he would suspect his Stand-in had been taken over by another.

The colossal Tree of Immortality shrugged off the damage from the spatial turbulence raining down on it, forcibly pushing through the area of Secret Realm fragments.

Wang Linchi naturally followed. At this point, he had passed through the dangerous spatial turbulence, returning directly from the Secret Realm to the Jing Room Domain of the Dajing Dynasty.

Initially, he considered having the Saint Master take him directly out of Xuan Spirit Heaven, but he quickly realized the folly of it. If he dismounted now, wouldn't he be inviting death?

The Tree of Immortality took root, and the entirety of Xuan Spirit Heaven was reduced to mere soil beneath its roots and stems.

The best course of action was obviously to hide for a while. He would wait for the Tree of Immortality to stabilize before leaving; it wouldn't be too late then.

"VILE SPAWN!!!" An enraged voice, carrying a tidal wave of power, erupted.

Wang Linchi didn't see the person, mainly because he was hidden deep, but he knew who it was. It could only be the Domain Master of the Jing Room Domain, the Yan Ming King's master.

Subsequently, the man's attack struck the Tree of Immortality. Wang Linchi couldn't see what kind of attack it was, but he felt the massive Tree of Immortality shake violently, clearly as a result of the blow.

"The Tree of Immortality isn't a match?" Wang Linchi watched as a large amount of water spread, invading the Tree of Immortality's interior.

"Run!" Wang Linchi was certain this was one of that Domain Master's attack methods.

The Saint Master, without hesitation, took Wang Linchi and fled. Staying any longer would have been a death sentence.

Sure enough, ten seconds after they left, a torrent of black liquid flooded in, grinding the spot where he had been hiding into dust. This was water, but not ordinary water. According to the data Wang Linchi had obtained, a single drop could weigh several tons. The damage such a massive flood could inflict was evident.

Fortunately, he had run fast, and the assailant's primary target wasn't him.

This was merely a localized conflict between the Domain Master and the Tree of Immortality, not the main battlefield, yet it was incredibly dangerous. If he had been hiding in an area that was part of the Tree of Immortality's trunk, he would likely have been reduced to a pulp by now.

The Saint Master was still formidable. He could fly and possessed an agility-type Talent. Straining with all his might... he still couldn't fly out of the Tree of Immortality's range.

The Tree of Immortality was vast, covering the entire Large Secret Realm. Even now, its body had not fully emerged from the Secret Realm. The Saint Master, despite his speed, was only Secret Silver Level and no match for the Tree of Immortality.

CRACK...

Wang Linchi looked up. The roots and branches of the Tree of Immortality in his vicinity were collapsing.

This was arguably good news, as it indicated the Tree of Immortality was no match for the Domain Master. However, the rest was bad news.

The battle between the Domain Master and the Tree of Immortality grew increasingly ferocious. A moment of carelessness, and he could be caught in the crossfire.

Something's wrong. The Shadow Covenant couldn't have released only one Tree of Immortality, could they? Wang Linchi suddenly thought.

Knowing the Shadow Covenant and their penchant for troublemaking, they certainly wouldn't let Xuan Spirit Heaven off so easily. To inflict maximum damage on the Jing Room Domain and the Court, they would naturally use every means at their disposal.

Less than two minutes after this thought occurred to him, Wang Linchi sensed Xuan Spirit Heaven descending into violent turmoil.

ROAR!

A dragon's roar echoed, and Wang Linchi's pupils contracted.

"Dragon Island!" As Wang Linchi finished speaking, a chorus of dragon roars rose from all directions.

"The Dragon Clan has emerged from the Gigantic Secret Realm. Things are really going to be terrible this time."

Wang Linchi indeed lacked high expectations for Great View, but he had never considered overthrowing it. After all, it was good to enjoy the shade under a large tree; even if Great View was in decline, he could still play both sides to his advantage.

But the Dragon Clan was different. Their attitude towards non-dragons was one of utter disdain; they regarded them as mere ants.

"Damn it, Worship Dragon Sect Archbishop, you bastard!" The Domain Master's infuriated voice echoed.

The Dragon Clan had a Dragon Emperor at the Daylight Level, while he was merely a Bright Moon Level Awakener. A single breath of dragon fire from the Dragon Emperor could turn him to ash. Resistance was futile.

"Since you've come, don't think of leaving! Dragon God, please annihilate our enemies!" a fanatical voice cried out, clearly belonging to the Worship Dragon Sect Archbishop.

"Hmph, a mere Dragon Servant daring to command your Dragon Master?" an arrogant voice, sounding no different from that of a wild beast, rang out.

Next, the Worship Dragon Sect Archbishop's painful wail and the sound of chewing could be heard.

Listening to this made Wang Linchi's scalp tingle. He didn't know how far away they were, but the sound of chewing was clearly meant as a warning—killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Except, the 'chicken' being killed was one of their own dragons, not a human.

RUMBLE...

During this brief distraction, the Tree of Immortality fully emerged from the Secret Realm. As it took root in the ground, it began to swell continuously.

"Damn despicable mongrel, who allowed you... Ah! Emperor Level! Impossible! How could a mere despicable mongrel be Emperor Level..." The dragon chewing on the Worship Dragon Sect Archbishop began to berate, but before it could finish, it was swept away by the Tree of Immortality.

Wang Linchi watched as the Tree of Immortality in the area where he was hiding began to change. Its texture, initially like bone, started shifting, surprisingly transforming into that of an actual tree.

In a mere instant, the transformation was complete, and it no longer bore its original terrifying appearance.

It's reached the Daylight Level already??? Wang Linchi was shocked by the Tree of Immortality's terrifying progress.

Perhaps it had always been at that level. It was just that the 'ceiling' of the Secret Realm was too low, restricting the Tree of Immortality's growth.

And after entering Great View, this 'ceiling' was raised, and its growth naturally followed.

At this moment, Wang Linchi felt that Great View was truly done for. In the Jing Room Domain alone, besides the Tree of Immortality, there was also the Dragon Emperor from Dragon Island—two Daylight Level entities.

This was just the beginning. If other Gigantic and Large Secret Realms also harbored entities like the Tree of Immortality, they only needed to leave their Secret Realms and enter Great View. Once their original restrictions vanished, they could achieve terrifying Daylight Level power within minutes.

This was just one Jing Room Domain. Great View had twenty-seven domains. If all their Secret Realms shattered...

Damn it! How am I supposed to survive now? Danger lurks everywhere!

This Secret Realm invasion was an End of the Dynasty scenario he had never imagined.

In his imagination, Great View's End of the Dynasty was supposed to be initiated by a rebellion sparked by The Heritage of the Heavenly Demon, eventually devolving into utter chaos.

But as it turned out, those cultists were far too terrifying; they had released all the Alien Races from the Secret Realms.

Moreover, as things progressed, their mastery over The Heritage of the Heavenly Demon deepened. The Gigantic Secret Realm in Yingzhou had once produced a living Heavenly Demon, and gradually, more such individuals or their followers appeared.

But now, things were different. Wang Linchi was certain that, apart from the Tree of Immortality, many ghosts from the Large Secret Realms had also accompanied it to Great View.

This arrival of ghosts was not without losses. Meanwhile, Wang Linchi could see the situation on the neighboring Dragon Island through some gaps in the Tree of Immortality. Its Secret Realm had been torn wide open, connecting it directly to Great View. Far from suffering losses, Dragon Island had brought its entire Gigantic Secret Realm's logistical support with it.

This was an advantage the Gigantic Secret Realms gained from being deeply entrenched in Great View for many years. Besides these two, all other Secret Realms in the Jing Room Domain had ruptured.

No living beings emerged from micro-sized Secret Realms. For small-sized ones, survival was a matter of luck. From medium-sized ones, only the strongest emerged alive. As for Large and Gigantic Secret Realms, when they shattered, a large contingent of their native inhabitants arrived in Great View unharmed.

As for Gigantic Secret Realms, apart from the one previously shattered in Yingzhou, only Dragon Island remained.

It's over... Wang Linchi thought he might as well take root here with the Tree of Immortality. After all, it was a Daylight Level existence.

"Do not worry. They dare not invade my territory." A gentle voice suddenly emerged in Wang Linchi's mind, completely bypassing his Soul Shield ability.

This instantly put Wang Linchi on high alert.
