Wulu watched the scene happening on Xia Jie, and was stunned as if struck by thunder, standing there with his mouth agape.

He had never imagined that the Void Thought Technique could have such a wonderful use.

Xia Jie ignored Wulu's shock and continued, "Enough, your mind is resilient, but your aptitude is somewhat lacking. Come with me, I'll guide you for a while longer."

After speaking, he led Jie Cha towards the space portal.

Jie Cha, seeing this, shouted in anger, "Xia Jie, where are you taking me? I'm the Artifact Spirit of the Three Realms Immortal Boat; I have no intention of meddling in your battle with the Demon World."

Wulu also snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "Senior, the Three Realms Immortal Boat intends to destroy the Stone Pillar Hongjun of White Emperor City, ruining the Heavenly Crane Array. I am too weak, and I beg for your assistance!"

Xia Jie's steps hesitated slightly, and a trace of complex expression flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to calm.

He said lightly, "It's not yet time for me to appear."

After finishing, he took Jie Cha and flew into the space portal without looking back.

Wulu looked in the direction where the two disappeared, then glanced towards White Emperor City, gritted his teeth, stomped, and flew into the space portal.

...

Inside the Three Realms Immortal Boat.

In the land of volcanoes, lava rolled over, and the various Demon Kings and Demon Generals from the Ten Thousand Demon Country were gathered here, the atmosphere solemn and tense.

Wu Yu suddenly felt something, she raised her hand and summoned a copper mirror from the void.

She lightly pressed a spell, and spirit light flowed over the copper mirror, gradually forming an image.

In the image, the Three Realms Immortal Boat was speeding along, quickly approaching the direction of White Emperor City.

Seeing this, all the demons looked over, expressions of anticipation in their eyes.

The Black Bear King was even more delighted, saying, "That Light Pillar… it's definitely White Emperor City! The Three Realms Immortal Boat is heading toward White Emperor City; everything seems to be going according to plan, that's great!"

Several other Demon Kings also showed joy and nodded in agreement.

Wu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but it was quickly suppressed.

She communicated with the ground in a low voice, "Is everything ready? We are about to reach White Emperor City; everything must be ready."

A red shadow flickered on the ground, and the figure of the Great Sun Glaze Flame slowly appeared.

She looked at the image on the copper mirror and said indifferently, "Hasn't the Three Realms Sect already set the Three Realms Immortal Boat in motion? What do you have to worry about?"

The Black Bear King and other Demon Kings saw the Great Sun Glaze Flame appear and halted their conversation.

"The affairs of my Ten Thousand Demon Country are of great importance, and not a single mistake can be afforded. Moreover, for some reason, I have a bad premonition, so we must prepare for contingencies." Wu Yu shook her head, frowning slightly.

"A bad premonition? Didn't you calculate that Su Wu, holding great fortune, can surely seize the Three Realms Immortal Boat? Now White Emperor City is nearby, the collision of the Three Realms Immortal Boat with the Pillar Hongjun is already set, what could change the situation?" The Great Sun Glaze Flame said with a look of surprise.

"Reasonably, that's correct, but as for Wan Tianren, I can never see through him or calculate him. His escape from Xihe Palace was completely beyond my expectations, and his ascent of a thousand steps almost made me think I miscalculated. Things have developed to the point where many aspects have already escaped my control." Wu Yu's face turned slightly dark as she spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Great Sun Glaze Flame also fell silent, recalling the confrontation with Yuan Ming in the Xihe Palace, and felt a moment of fear.

After a while, she said solemnly, "That boy is indeed strange, I used almost all of my strength in Xihe Palace, yet still couldn't handle him. Moreover, even the Bright Soul Fire has submitted to him; he definitely harbors great secrets."

"Therefore, we must prepare for failure. Although I hope everything goes smoothly, we must guard against any unexpected situations." Wu Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

The Great Sun Glaze Flame raised the Fiery Sun Pearl in her hand and said, "Rest assured, I have refined the Fiery Sun Pearl as per your plan, ready for use at any moment. Should the Three Realms Immortal Boat encounter any problem, I will immediately detonate the Fiery Sun Pearl, utterly destroying White Emperor City."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yu felt slightly reassured.

She looked up toward the direction of the Silver Tower, the control hub of the Three Realms Immortal Boat, and muttered to herself, "Let's hope nothing goes wrong."

...

Deep within the Silver Tower Space's cave, the dim light could only sketch out vague outlines.

The World Tree quietly stood, shrouded by the Sky Cicada Spirit Domain, Yuan Ming only felt his body suddenly become Heavy, as if falling into a deep sea, surrounded by oppressive and Heavy atmosphere.

He was not encountering the Divine Skills of the Spirit Domain for the first time; Sima Changqin had also displayed them in the past, but the power of Su Wu's Spirit Domain far surpassed the former.

At this moment, he seemed to be bound by intangible shackles, Mana circulating stiffly, and the transfer of the World Giant Tree halted at this moment.

Su Wu wore a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, fingers lightly conjuring spell seals, Heavenly Cicada Black Qi surged like tide, fiercely scouring the shell of the silver sphere.

The black sphere quivered amidst sizzling sounds, as the black Qi collided fiercely with the silver spirit light, making ear-piercing noises.

That silver sphere was the barrier of space, exceptionally sturdy, yet under the erosive assault of the Heavenly Cicada Black Qi, its silver shell began to thin gradually.

Just then, the World Giant Tree suddenly emitted a cyan-gray spirit light, primordial Wood Qi continuously flowed out, swiftly repairing the damage on the silver shell.

The duel between the two was like the scales balanced at both ends, neither giving way.

A flash of surprise crossed Su Wu's face, while Yuan Ming was equally shocked.

Although he hadn't cultivated a Spiritual Domain, he had seen records of it in the Classics and had consulted with Xi Ying and Void about the wonders of the Spiritual Domain.

The greatest Divine Skills of the Spiritual Domain lie in its absolute suppressive power; once expanded, everything within its scope falls under its control, unless challenged by an equally or more powerful Spiritual Domain.

The giant World Tree in front of him could actually remain unaffected by the Sky Cicada Spirit Domain, which was beyond his imagination.

Yuan Ming quickly regained his composure and attempted to communicate using his own World Tree with the giant World Tree.

Waves of primordial Wood energy surged forth, allowing his World Tree to start freeing itself from the Sky Cicada Spirit Domain's suppression, and the Mana began to slowly flow.

He felt a surge of joy in his heart and manipulated the giant World Tree to continue its transfer into the Shura Palace.

As time passed, more and more roots penetrated deep into the Shura Palace, the vitality of the entire palace became increasingly exuberant. The Spiritual Power was so dense it almost turned liquid, and the space grew increasingly solid, seemingly developing an independent realm.

Outside, Su Wu's face grew increasingly grim.

He realized that despite his best efforts, he was unable to suppress the opponent.

Although losing the World Tree wouldn't shake his control over the Three Realms Immortal Boat, the power of the Three Realms Immortal Boat would be drastically reduced, something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.

He gazed into the silver space where Yuan Ming stood, his eyes flickering with cold determination, as if he had made some kind of resolution.

He clapped his hands together and inhaled sharply, instantly a whirlwind surged from his nostrils, gathering all the Heavenly Cicada Black Qi around him and drawing it into his body.

His abdomen swiftly swelled to the limit, as if it would explode at any moment.

Following this, he tilted his head upward and opened his mouth wide, his right hand transformed into a sword finger, slowly sliding along his throat.

"Hulala"

Countless ghostly purple spirit lights were forced out from his mouth, condensing and compressing in mid-air, quickly transforming into a translucent insect egg no larger than a grain of rice.

As the insect egg formed, Su Wu's abdomen deflated, his aura diminished sharply, and he appeared weakened and drained.

At this moment, Yuan Ming heard a sudden warning from Void: "No good, it's the Heavenly Cicada Soul Egg! Kid, pause your retrieval of the World Tree and hide in the Stealing Heaven Tripod!"

Startled, Yuan Ming immediately intended to comply.

However, Su Wu suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.

The Black Sword instantly appeared above his head, shooting forth with a roar, flashing to the silver sphere and stabbing downward in mid-air.

With a soft "puchi" sound, the silver sphere, which could only be slightly eroded by the Heavenly Cicada Black Qi, was pierced through, creating a large hole.

Yuan Ming's heart trembled violently as he saw the insect egg in mid-air transform into a ghostly purple stream, streaking through the night sky, darting into the large hole and heading straight for the World Tree.

In an instant, the insect egg penetrated layer after layer of the giant World Tree's barriers, like an arrow splitting the air, effortlessly drilling into Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, it surged into a tempestuous fury.

Yuan Ming felt a sharp pain, his Soul Power swept away like a storm, uncontrollably surging toward the suddenly appeared insect egg.

Nourished by the Soul Power, the insect egg rapidly grew and hatched, releasing a powerful suction that even caused Yuan Ming's Divine Soul to start trembling, being pulled toward the insect egg bit by bit.

Yuan Ming felt a deep dread, wanting to resist but found his Divine Soul bound by invisible shackles, unable to muster even a trace of Soul Power.

Just as Yuan Ming was about to despair, the Stealing Heaven Tripod suddenly emerged from within him, hovering above his head.

From the tripod's mouth, countless flows of Desire Power sprang forth, transforming into beams of light, shooting straight into Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

The insect egg seemed to sense something amiss, emitting a piercing cicada screech, unleashing vast swathes of ghostly purple spirit light, attempting to resist the assault of Desire Power.

But the Desire Power stored within the Stealing Heaven Tripod was immense, and despite the continuous dispersion of ghostly purple spirit light, more Desire Power flowed relentlessly.

Encased in the Endless Desire Power, within merely two breaths' time, an egg shell formed from solidified Desire Power enveloped the insect egg, sealing it within securely.

No matter how piercing the cicada's screams, no matter how the ghostly light dashed around wildly, the seal of the Stealing Heaven Tripod remained unshaken.

Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness gradually returned to calm, and his Divine Soul was momentarily freed.

Before he could catch his breath, he heard Su Wu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, good, good, good! So you're the mysterious person who approached Su Yingxue. Truly, breaking through iron shoes to find it, only to come across it effortlessly. Seems like this is fate. The Stealing Heaven Tripod is destined to fall into my hands!"

Su Wu's gaze was fixed intently on the Stealing Heaven Tripod suspended above Yuan Ming's head, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Despite his face paled from coughing up the insect egg, now it was flushed with excitement, as if he saw a rare treasure.
