All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

A desolate island in the void, the evening wind howls, chilling to the bone.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

This deserted island, hidden in the cracks of the void, became Jiang Chen's only sanctuary in his life.

There was no conflict, no pursuit, no endless guilt and torment. He and his son Xu Qiu'an lived peacefully, day and night together.

From the moment Xu Qiu'an broke through to the sixth level of the realm and awakened the ancient Taotie bloodline, this hard-won stability was completely shattered.

Never go back.

Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back in front of the wooden house, his slender figure standing in the biting wind, his robes fluttering in the breeze.

He looked up at the endless, dark, and desolate void, his deep eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of melancholy, anxiety, and exhaustion.

He endured a century of forbearance and hid for a century, never gambling on luck, but on time.

He gambled that he could secretly raise Xu Qiu'an to adulthood, that the child could smoothly awaken his bloodline and solidify his martial arts foundation, and that no one would find this hidden corner of the void before all the secrets were completely exposed.

He gambled that by bearing all the sins and infamy alone, he could protect Di Qiu's safety and Xu Qiu'an's life.

However, the awakening of bloodline has always been a momentous event that affects the very fabric of the universe.

The ancient Taotie, ranking among the most ferocious beasts, possessed an overwhelmingly domineering bloodline. Even the slightest fluctuation of its resurgence could not be completely concealed.

That eerie aura, capable of devouring everything, had already penetrated the thin void barrier and quietly spread to the surrounding star fields.

Perhaps they were the Void aliens patrolling everywhere, or perhaps they were the hidden forces that harbored murderous intent back then, but the group that Jiang Chen feared the most and least wanted to face had finally arrived.

The Earth Dragon Clan.

Jiang Chen knew perfectly well that the days to come would be a complete departure from peace and tranquility.

What awaits him and Xu Qiu'an is only endless pursuit, ceaseless conflict, and a perilous road ahead fraught with thorns.

No one knew his predicament, no one understood his forbearance.

The truth about that so-called "defection" a hundred years ago was known only to a few core elders of the Earth Dragon Clan.

Apart from this, no one in the entire clan, from ordinary clansmen to mid-level warriors, knew about it.

All the Earth Dragon Clan members firmly believe that Jiang Chen is a heartless, treacherous, and cunning traitor.

They believed that Jiang Chen deliberately approached the clan leader Di Qiu, taking advantage of Di Qiu's deep affection and the bloodline of the true dragon to conceive a child, and then ruthlessly betrayed the clan, taking the child far away, all in order to strengthen himself by relying on the bloodline of the earth dragon.

For a century, this hatred has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every member of the Earth Dragon Clan.

They hated Jiang Chen for his deception, regretted that their clan leader Di Qiu had awakened a true dragon and gone through a life-or-death ordeal because of him, and were even more resentful that he had stolen the bloodline of the Earth Dragon Clan.

Therefore, when that abnormal bloodline fluctuation was detected, the Earth Dragon Clan immediately located it and dispatched its members across realms to hunt it down without hesitation.

Om-!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The once tranquil void was suddenly filled with an extremely muffled spatial tremor!

The once calm air currents suddenly became violent and turbulent, and fine, menacing spatial cracks spread rapidly. A cold and murderous pressure rolled in from the depths of the distant void, firmly locking down the entire isolated island!

The breeze on the island suddenly stopped, the spiritual energy stagnated, and all things became lifeless.

Xu Qiu'an, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, consolidating his sixth-level cultivation within the realm, suddenly opened his eyes!

In the depths of his dark eyes, a fleeting glint of purplish-gold gluttonous light appeared, his domineering and unparalleled devouring power unconsciously leaking out, only to be forcibly contained in an instant.

After awakening the Taotie bloodline and the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique, his spiritual perception and insight into the world have far surpassed those of other cultivators of the same level.

Even if the opponent was thousands of miles away in the void, he could clearly sense that familiar dragon might and the chilling killing intent rushing towards him!

"Someone's coming. Their cultivation is considerable, and they carry a killing intent!"

Xu Qiu'an gave a deep shout, his body suddenly straightened up, his spiritual energy circulated rapidly around him, his muscles and bones creaked, and he entered a state of extreme alertness.

The young man had sharp features and a tall, upright figure. Although he had only recently entered the advanced stage of cultivation, he already possessed the domineering aura of a descendant of a ferocious beast.

Jiang Chen's expression turned completely cold, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was utterly shattered.

coming.

The person I least wanted to see has finally come to me.

He looked up and gazed into the distance, his eyes piercing through layers of void, his gaze fixed on five tall, slender figures rapidly approaching from afar.

Five figures, all dressed in the dark gold scale-patterned robes exclusive to the Earth Dragon Clan, exuded a faint dragon aura as their robes fluttered, their presence powerful and profound.

All five had reached the realm of cultivation, with the lowest being the third level of the realm, and the leader even reaching the peak of the fifth level of the realm!

Such a lineup, even in an ordinary star field, would be enough to sweep away a powerful force.

Clearly, the Earth Dragon Clan has been seeking revenge for a century without ever letting up, and this time they are determined to wipe them out completely!

"Jiang Chen!"

A chilling, piercing shout suddenly exploded in the void, causing the spiritual energy of the isolated island to surge violently!

Five dragon-shaped figures instantly tore through the void, standing high above the isolated island, their eyes cold and filled with murderous intent, their gazes fixed on Jiang Chen and his son on the ground.

The leading Earth Dragon Elder-level warrior had a cold and stern face, his eyes filled with boundless hatred. He stared intently at Jiang Chen, his voice brimming with centuries of resentment:

"A century in hiding! A century on the run! Jiang Chen, you really were hiding in this void crevice!"

"You squandered the deep affection of my clan chief, exploiting Chief Diqiu's bloodline and sincerity to father a child, and then heartlessly betrayed us!"

"Do you know that on the day you defected a hundred years ago, the clan leader, in a fit of rage, awakened his true dragon bloodline, endured a near-death tribulation, and almost perished?"

"Do you know that for the past hundred years, the clan chief has suffered day and night, consumed by longing and resentment, tormented by heartbreak!"

Every word is powerful and resounding, every sentence is piercing to the heart!

Every word spoken reflects the deep-seated beliefs of the Earth Dragon Clan, and every syllable carries endless contempt and anger.

The other four members of the Earth Dragon Clan also had bloodshot eyes and were filled with murderous intent, staring intently at Jiang Chen as if he were a sinner for all eternity.

No one knew the truth, no one knew Jiang Chen's forbearance and sacrifice, no one knew that he shouldered all the sins alone, just to protect Di Qiu's safety and the child's life.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen was a shameless traitor who betrayed the Earth Dragon, let down the clan leader, and stole the bloodline!

Jiang Chen stood there, his body slightly stiff, his eyes surging with endless bitterness and guilt, yet he had no way to defend himself.

He couldn't explain, and he dared not explain.

Once the truth comes out, Di Qiu will realize that the child she risked her life to give birth to is the Taotie Calamity. Her century-old obsession will collapse instantly, and she will only suffer a collapse and pain that is more intense than her century-old resentment.

He would rather bear eternal infamy and be misunderstood by the whole world than let Di Qiu suffer even the slightest harm.

"Further discussion is pointless!"

The leading earth dragon warrior roared, his killing intent surging, and his dark golden dragon aura erupted from his body!

"Today, we are ordered by our clan elders to kill the traitor Jiang Chen, reclaim our clan's bloodline, and uphold the clan's rules!"

"Let's do it!"
