All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

An endless void, pitch black and cold, turbulent currents raging.

Jiang Chen, carrying Xu Qiu'an, tore through the void as they fled for their lives.

In the battle on the isolated island, he forcefully blocked Xu Qiu'an's fatal blow, and then fled with the puzzled boy, thinking that he could use the cover of the void turbulence to completely shake off the pursuit of the Earth Dragon Clan.

But he ultimately underestimated the obsession of the Earth Dragon Clan, and also underestimated their determination to seek revenge for a century.

After a century of dormancy, their presence was exposed in an instant, and the Earth Dragon Clan had no intention of giving the father and son even the slightest chance to catch their breath.

From the depths of the void, deafening roars echoed continuously.

The once silent void was torn apart by dense dragon energy. Streams of dark golden light, like a persistent leech, followed closely behind, locking onto their auras. No matter how Jiang Chen changed his position or concealed his tracks, he could not completely shake them off.

Not only that, but what's even more alarming is that alien cultivators from all directions kept coming to block their way.

These cultivators came in various forms, including dragons covered in scales, demonic cultivators who rode the yin wind, and stone people who controlled void fragments. All of them were subordinate races under the Earth Dragon Clan.

For a century, the Earth Dragon Clan has wielded immense power in this void star field, with dozens of vassal races under its command, scattered throughout every corner of the surrounding void.

Once Jiang Chen and Xu Qiu'an's whereabouts are exposed, it will be like stirring up a hornet's nest, which will inevitably lead to an overwhelming and relentless attack!

"Boom!"

A thick beam of golden dragon energy pierced through the air and slammed into the void barrier beside the two of them.

In an instant, space shattered, violent spatial turbulence swept in all directions, and countless tiny spatial fragments flew like sharp blades, causing the void to buzz.

Jiang Chen frowned, and with a gentle burst of spiritual energy, he shielded Xu Qiu'an behind him, withstanding the impact and using the force to retreat another thousand miles.

But the pursuers behind them had completely surrounded them.

Looking around, the sky above and below was filled with countless figures of pursuers.

The Earth Dragon Clan, led by its members, exuded a powerful dragon aura and chilling killing intent. Each member possessed cultivation at the Inner Realm level, and their ranks were arranged in layers, creating a barrier that left no way out.

The vassal races' cultivators followed closely behind, numbering in the hundreds, densely packed in various parts of the void, blocking all escape routes.

There were obstacles blocking their way ahead and pursuers behind.

A true dead end suddenly descended!

"Jiang Chen! Let's see where you can run to today!"

The leading earth dragon warrior roared coldly, his voice icy and piercing, echoing throughout the void, "A century of betrayal, stealing my race's bloodline—today is your death day!"

The harsh and cold words, like sharp blades, pierced through the air, carrying undisguised murderous intent and contempt.

Countless icy gazes locked onto Jiang Chen and Xu Qiu'an, their killing intent surging, almost engulfing the two completely.

Cultivators from all directions activated their techniques, and various colored spiritual lights shot into the sky. Red, yellow, blue, and green energies intertwined to form a huge killing array, which slowly contracted and crushed towards the two.

Before the great formation was fully closed, a terrifying pressure had already descended, causing the void to tremble violently and making even breathing extremely difficult.

Xu Qiu'an stood beside Jiang Chen, his back tense, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles white, and his bones making a cracking sound.

The boy's clear eyes were now filled with frost, and a raging anger was growing and surging wildly in his heart.

He had been protected by Jiang Chen since childhood, living a peaceful and stable life for a hundred years. He had never experienced such a dangerous ambush, nor had he ever been so relentlessly pursued and driven to the brink of death.

He had never met these people before, nor did he have any grudges against them.

But when they made a move, it was a killing blow; when they spoke, it was a call to slaughter, showing no mercy and leaving no room for retreat.

They relentlessly pursued and ambushed him, all to take his and his father's lives!

"kill!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, breaking the stalemate!

Hundreds of cultivators attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of magical light that swept across the sky like a sky full of falling stars, carrying the destructive power to slam into the two of them!

The void shattered, energy went berserk, and terrifying shockwaves raged in all directions!

Jiang Chen's expression was extremely solemn, his eyes filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

He raised his hand and quickly formed a hand seal. The pure spiritual power of the human race spread out and transformed into a thick spiritual power barrier, protecting Xu Qiu'an in front of him.

He can fight, and he can kill.

With his true cultivation level, if he were to go all out, these earth dragons and their vassal cultivators would be far too few for him to slaughter.

But he can't!

The secret from a century ago was like shackles, binding his hands and feet tightly.

He was burdened with the debt he owed to Di Qiu, and with the karma of the Earth Dragon Clan. He was even more afraid that if he went on a killing spree and completely severed any possibility of reconciliation, Di Qiu would hate him for eternity when he found out.

He endured countless infamy and a century of forbearance, seeking not bloodshed, but only peace and safety for his wife and children.

Therefore, even when he was in dire straits, even when he was facing a dead end at every turn, he still held firm to his bottom line—never to kill a single member of the Earth Dragon Clan!

Boom boom boom!

Countless spells slammed into the spiritual energy barrier, causing it to tremble violently and cracks to spread rapidly, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and kept urging his spiritual power to replenish the barrier's depletion. Relying solely on defensive measures, he managed to withstand wave after wave of relentless bombardment.

He only defends, he doesn't counterattack.

Even though the aftershocks of the energy caused his blood to surge and blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, and even though he was forced to retreat repeatedly and was in a sorry state, he still did not unleash a killing move.

Standing to the side, Xu Qiu'an watched his father's disheveled and restrained appearance, and saw the enemy's unbridled slaughter. The anger in his heart completely broke through all the shackles!

On what grounds?

Why should the father tolerate, back down, and suffer the harm when others want to kill them?

The dormant gluttonous bloodline within him was completely ignited by extreme anger and a sense of crisis!

Om-!

A strange and domineering roar suddenly exploded from Xu Qiu'an's body!

A fierce, purplish-gold light erupted wildly from his limbs and bones, while a dark, devouring mist swirled and surged around him.

The ancient Taotie was a beast that devoured and slaughtered, and was inherently ferocious!

A century of peaceful life suppressed the most primal ferocity and killing instinct deep within his blood.

But now, with life and death looming ahead and endless killing intent closing in, the ferocious beast nature suppressed for a hundred years has been completely activated!

Xu Qiu'an's eyes instantly became half black and half purple-gold, his fierce light surged, and his aura underwent a complete transformation.

The gentle and clear-minded boyish temperament was completely gone, replaced by a cold, bloodthirsty, indifferent, and ferocious beastly aura!

A mad thought that wanted to tear everything apart, devour everything, and slaughter all enemies instantly took over his mind.

This is the instinct of the gluttonous bloodline, the killing nature engraved in the marrow!

"die!"

Xu Qiu'an let out a low, cold roar, and his figure was about to burst out instantly!

His right hand formed a claw with its five fingers, and the purple-gold baleful energy condensed into a sharp Taotie claw. The cold light was chilling, and the mere exudation of the aura caused the surrounding void to collapse slightly.

The moment he takes that step, the battlefield will be littered with corpses!

These cultivators who were surrounding and killing them were no match for the full force of the Taotie bloodline's attack!

Just as Xu Qiu'an was about to go berserk and kill the enemy, a hot and powerful hand suddenly gripped his shoulder tightly!

The force was so great that it almost crushed his shoulder bone, carrying an irresistible toughness and urgency.

"Qiu An! Don't lay a hand on me!"
