My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Beep beep beep beep—!!!"

The ear-piercing alarm of the array, like a death knell, echoed wildly within the Royal Ministry of Works' top-secret testing ground.

The giant crystal ball, which had been suspended in mid-air, was now completely engulfed by a layer of intense, crimson light.

At the edge of the green light spot that represents the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

A massive, despair-inducing red orb of light was hurtling towards them with terrifying, unstoppable speed!

"It's over! It's all over!"

King Li Tai of Wei's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His two-hundred-pound body trembled violently as he pointed his chubby finger at the crystal ball, his voice trembling with undisguised sobs.

"Father! Sixteenth brother!"

"This ball of light is more than three times the size of our Great Tang Dynasty's mainland!"

"Such a massive world barrier crashing down upon us, the Heavenly Rift of our Great Tang Dynasty simply cannot withstand it! The entire land of China will be shattered into pieces!"

Li Tai clutched his head in despair.

"No wonder the Western Buddhist kingdoms weren't in a hurry to act; did they foresee this cosmic catastrophe of realm collision?!"

He shouted in response to Li Tai's breakdown.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty remained silent.

He merely narrowed his deep dragon eyes slightly.

His right hand had unconsciously rested on the hilt of the Emperor's Sword at his waist.

The emperor's spine, like a spear piercing the sky, stands straight in place.

Even if Mount Tai collapses before us, even if the end of the world truly arrives.

The Emperor of Tang would never retreat even a single step!

"Shut your mouth, what are you wailing about?"

Just then.

Li Chen, who was standing to the side, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

He did not panic like Li Tai.

Instead, he stepped forward and placed his right hand directly on the surface of the crystal ball that was flashing red light wildly.

"Buzz!"

The two spatial spiritual roots within Li Chen's body were activated to their maximum potential in an instant.

An invisible spatial fluctuation, following the pivot of the formation, probed deep into the starry sky like a radar search wave.

Close your eyes.

Li Chen's consciousness traversed rapidly through the vast void.

Only three breaths had passed.

Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes!

The purple-gold lightning in his eyes showed no fear of disaster whatsoever.

Instead, it erupted with a frenzied gleam, like a hungry wolf eyeing juicy meat, an intensely greedy and fervent light!

"Father! Second Brother!"

Li Chen turned his head, looked at Li Shimin, and grinned wildly.

"Don't worry, this isn't a disaster."

"This is like God sending a super takeout to our Great Tang Dynasty!"

Li Tai was stunned, forgetting even to wipe away his tears.

"Takeout...takeout? What does that mean?"

"This is not a complete world of cultivation!"

Li Chen crossed his arms and excitedly licked his chapped lips.

"This is a ruined secret realm shattered in ancient times! It's also known as the 'No Man's Land'!"

"Although it is large in size, its world barrier has long been riddled with holes, and it is completely unprotected by the will of Heaven!"

Li Chen pointed to the huge red light on the crystal ball.

His tone revealed a bandit-like arrogance and ecstatic joy.

"There are no Nascent Soul stage experts here."

"But because it has wandered in the depths of the starry sky for many years, it has accumulated a vast amount of unclaimed spiritual veins, rare immortal herbs, and even ancient relics over countless years!"

"It's not here to destroy the Tang Dynasty."

"It's here to help our Great Tang Dynasty's national treasury through targeted poverty alleviation!"

Upon hearing these words...

Li Tai, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly widened his small eyes.

His breathing suddenly became extremely heavy.

Li Shimin, who was holding the Emperor's Sword, also had his eyes light up.

The emperor's intuition told him that the opportunity for the Tang Dynasty's fortunes to experience an epic surge was right before his eyes!

"Chen'er".

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, "Since it's a ruined secret realm, won't it harm the innocent people of our Great Tang if it crashes into us?"

"Of course not!"

Li Chen slapped Li Tai on the shoulder, lifting the fat man up.

"Don't we have our second brother, a genius in formations!"

"Second brother, I'll give you half an hour."

Li Chen stared at Li Tai, "Activate all the 'Spatial Traction Arrays' around Chang'an City!"

"Isn't it going to crash into us?"

"We won't hide! We'll use an array to anchor it firmly to the edge of the Tang Dynasty's territory, like dropping an anchor!"

"Let it become the back garden of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Let's make it the first dungeon for our 100,000-strong expeditionary force to grind monsters and level up!"

Li Tai's entire body of fat jiggled.

The fear in his eyes was instantly replaced by boundless fervor.

As a research fanatic of the Tang Dynasty, this crazy act of using formations to capture an entire world is truly astounding.

It excited him even more than killing him!

"Let's do it!"

Li Tai slapped his thigh, "Father, Sixteenth Brother! Just watch me!"

"Not only will I anchor it, but I'll also open a hundred spatial portals on it, so our Tang army can easily go in and move bricks... ptooey, I mean, go in and stock up!"

……

Half an hour later.

The skies above the northwestern border of the Tang Dynasty.

The once cloudless, azure sky suddenly began to twist and boil violently!

"Boom—!!!"

It was like thousands of ancient thunder dragons roaring simultaneously above the clouds.

Throughout the entire land of China, one could clearly feel the tremors emanating from the ground.

Followed by.

Under the shocked gazes of the border guards and countless civilians.

The sky has cracked open.

A massive void rift, tens of thousands of feet long, slowly opened like a demonic maw about to devour the heavens and earth.

Through that crack.

It can be clearly seen that a vast, ancient world shrouded in a dark red storm is slowly approaching with an overwhelming sense of destruction!

At this critical moment!

"Charge!!!!"

This was accompanied by a hysterical roar from Li Tai, the King of Wei, transmitted via a sound transmission jade talisman.

Inside and outside Chang'an City, ninety-nine towering array towers, reaching into the clouds, simultaneously emitted a dazzling, eerie blue light.

Ninety-nine chains of spiritual energy, as thick as mountains, resembled ninety-nine raging dragons defying the heavens.

It instantly pierced through the clouds!

"Clang! Clang!"

A deafening metallic clang echoed through the air.

The ninety-nine chains of spiritual energy pierced the world barrier of the dark red, dilapidated secret realm with unparalleled precision.

It hooked tightly onto its core ley lines!

"Stop right there!"

Li Tai was frantically squeezing the energy out of the spirit stones in the testing ground.

"boom!"

The barriers between the two worlds collided violently in the air, less than 10,000 feet apart!

It burst forth with countless dazzling sparks of spiritual energy.

finally.

Under Li Tai's insane array formation.

This enormous, dilapidated secret realm was abruptly brought to a stop, hovering and anchoring outside the northwestern border of the Tang Dynasty!

Like a giant dark red satellite, it is closely connected to the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a success!"

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, thunderous cheers erupted.
