Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"Don't think that just because you're at the Mythical Realm and can suppress Lan Tianzun, you can disregard the Source of Darkness!"

Xia Jin's domineering words also made one of the puppets' voices turn cold.

Although it was just a puppet, one could sense a chill emanating from its eyes.

It was as if something across the endless void was watching Xia Jin through the pupils of these puppets.

The other puppet took a half step forward, its eyes fixed on Xia Jin.

"Soon, my Dark Source will cross the Boundless Sea. At that time, this universe will be completely reduced to a realm of darkness, and even if your cultivation is extraordinary, you will not be spared. The depth of my Dark Source's power is beyond your imagination."

Two puppets, their four empty eyes fixed on Xia Jin's figure, and the oppressive feeling from the source of darkness was like an invisible tide, crashing down on him wave after wave.

After hearing this, Xia Jin was slightly taken aback, and then her expression became somewhat strange.

"Oh? You, the source of darkness, want to cross the Boundless Sea? And then seize this territory? It seems you've been lying low for so many years, and your ambitions are quite grand."

The seven colors of light in his eyes flowed endlessly, as if all the stars in the world were floating and sinking within them.

"Then I shall wait and see."

"But for now, I need to collect some interest!"

Xia Jin suddenly stretched out her hands, spread her fingers, and grasped the two puppets in the air!

"Snap!!"

Two crisp cracking sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The two gray puppets in hemp clothing were crushed as if by an invisible giant hand, turning into countless fragments that drifted into the void.

In the instant the fragments scattered, two black divine thoughts emerged from the puppet's remains and fled frantically in two different directions.

Xia Jin's face was full of mockery.

"You've come, and you think you can leave? Wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"

He reached out and gently grasped the void, a burst of dazzling seven-colored light erupting from his palm, forcefully holding the two divine thoughts in his hand.

"Destroy him!"

"Don't be too smug!! When darkness falls, your fate will be..." The two divine thoughts let out a sharp shriek, and then completely vanished into nothingness.

Xia Jin slowly opened her palm, leaving only a wisp of extremely faint black smoke that dissipated, only to be evaporated clean by the seven-colored divine light.

"The source of darkness... Heh heh heh, you dare threaten me? But it won't be long before you arrive; I'll personally go to your place!"

......

The other side of the boundless sea.

It is also the deepest part of the source of darkness, an endless abyss.

The three stone statues stood majestically, faintly glowing with a dark red light.

The eyes of two of the stone statues, which had been closed for countless millennia, opened simultaneously at this moment.

Two dark red beams of light shone from the statue's eye sockets, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"Um……?"

The stone statue on the left emitted a dull sound.

"There really are people who don't take the source of darkness seriously. Daring to annihilate a wisp of my divine consciousness like this, it seems we haven't ventured out for too long; everyone's almost forgotten about us."

Its voice contained little anger, but rather a sudden surge of interest after a long silence.

The stone statue on the right also slowly spoke, "That aura seems somewhat familiar."

The gazes of the two stone statues slowly lowered simultaneously, landing on the center of an altar below the abyss.

In the center of the altar, a figure completely shrouded in red robes was kneeling respectfully on one knee.

Behind him, dozens of eyeballs were slowly rotating.

The moment those eyeballs sensed the gazes of the two stone statues, they lowered slightly, revealing a respectful posture.

The stone statue on the left fixed its gaze on the figure in red robes and said in a deep voice, "Thousand Eyes, how are the preparations going?"

The red-robed figure known as the Thousand-Eyed One slowly straightened up, and dozens of eyeballs behind him seemed to open up simultaneously.

"Reporting to the Third Ancestor, everything is almost ready. The core array foundation for the passage across the Boundless Sea has been laid; only the spiritual energy guidance of the last few nodes is needed for it to be fully connected. At the current rate, the passage should be officially open in five years at most."

"Once the passage is opened, the boundless sea that has been separating us here will no longer be able to stop us."

Five years?

The stone statue on the right lowered its voice slightly, seemingly not entirely satisfied with the timing, but after a moment, it slowly exhaled a heavy breath, causing the surrounding darkness to surge violently.

"Hmph. I've waited three hundred thousand years already, what's another five?"

"Then let the beings on the other side of the Boundless Sea linger on for another five years. Five years later, the day the passage is opened will be the day I, the source of darkness, descend."

Its gaze pierced through the endless void, as if across the entire boundless sea, seeing the distant other side.

Ultimately, only darkness is the final destination for all things.

After speaking, the enormous eyes of the two stone statues slowly closed, and the abyss fell silent once more.

Only the figure in the red robe remained kneeling in the center of the altar, with dozens of eyes silently rolling behind him.

......

Ruins Starfield.

Xia Jin's figure had already left that desolate star field and returned to Tianyou City.

Now, Lan Tianzun has been suppressed within the Hetu Luoshu, and with the power of the rules of that world grinding him away day and night, it's only a matter of time before he is completely obliterated.

Once Lan Tianzun fell, no one in the alien territory could stop him.

As for the remaining eight alien kings, they couldn't cause any trouble at all.

"The White Ape King and his group are still no match for the Eight Kings! They still need me to take action. Once these Eight Kings of the alien race are eliminated, the alien territory will be easily occupied by the White Ape King and his group. At that time, the entire alien territory will be under my control."

A slight upturn of his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"As for the source of darkness, it seems to possess more than one being at the Mythical Realm... Moreover, they crossed the Boundless Sea within five years? Then within those five years, our avatar must also reach the Mythical Realm for it to be safe."

"If my avatar reaches the Mythical Realm first, then it won't be me waiting for you to cross the Boundless Sea; I'll be the one making a trip to your place myself!"

"Now, let's deal with the eight alien kings first. Who will be the first lucky one?"
