My Golden Core is a Star, do you call this cultivating?

In the Dark Void, Dao God Tu Feng and the Mountain Lord of Heavenly King Mountain fled in panic.

Neither of them had overcome the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, making them relatively weak among Dao Gods.

Encountering a Dao Lord, especially one who was hostile, meant certain death if they were caught.

At this moment, the two were using every means possible to escape.

Fortunately, the Dark Void was intricate and complex, making it difficult even for a Dao Lord to pursue them.

"She's too powerful. This Dao Lord... is no ordinary Dao Lord!" Dao God Tu Feng said, his voice trembling with fear.

His physical body had been completely shattered, and he was now reforming it within the Dark Void.

His remaining true spirit was still dim.

"She's been making more frequent moves lately," the Mountain Lord of Heavenly King Mountain said.

However, the Forbidden Land was too chaotic, and even someone as powerful as the Heavenly God would find it difficult to locate that Dao Lord.

"The more she exposes herself, the more danger she's in. The Heavenly God has never made a move against her, likely waiting for the perfect moment to strike with absolute certainty," the Mountain Lord speculated.

In truth, this speculation was something anyone familiar with the situation would know.

"What should we do about the remaining sweep of the Forbidden Land?" Dao God Tu Feng asked.

He was considering retreating.

Otherwise, encountering that Dao Lord again would mean certain death.

"Don't worry. She definitely won't make another move. We're safe," the Mountain Lord said confidently. "There are just a few small pests left. Let's be cautious, finish the sweep, and then leave."

Clearing the Forbidden Land was a task assigned to them by the Heavenly God, and it had to be completed.

Otherwise, the more beings consumed by the Forbidden Land, the greater the catastrophe that would follow.

Dao God Tu Feng nodded, agreeing with the Mountain Lord's decision. He said, "After this, I plan to cultivate the Dao of the Dark Void."

This experience had made him realize that even Dao Gods were fragile.

Facing a Dao Lord or a Dao God who had overcome the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, there was almost no chance of survival.

Survival skills were paramount.

For Dao Gods, escaping into the Dark Void was the safest option.

"What's the use? There was once a Dao God named the Moneybags Dao God, who was most skilled in the Dao of the Dark Void. His escape skills were unmatched.

But in the end, after offending the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, he still died under mysterious circumstances."

The Mountain Lord couldn't help but say.

Dao God Tu Feng sighed upon hearing this.

Indeed, no matter how many escape methods one had, it was useless.

Offending a truly top-tier powerhouse meant there were countless ways to be erased.

They could even travel back to your past and eliminate you when you were still weak.

To counter such methods, one would need to overcome at least one calamity and one tribulation, or become a Dao Lord.

"Let's go," the Mountain Lord waved his sleeve, and the two left the Dark Void.

Although they were still injured and their strength had diminished significantly, dealing with the notorious figures in the Forbidden Land who weren't even Dao Gods was no harder than swatting flies.

"The world ahead has a peculiar aura. There might be some prisoners there," Dao God Tu Feng said.

The Mountain Lord nodded.

Without hesitation, Dao God Tu Feng pressed his massive hand downward.

In an instant, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to twist like threads.

The vast world was like a puppet entangled by strings.

Why would they need a second move to deal with those people?

However, at that moment, an unexpected voice rang out.

"You're walking too slowly."

"Looks like your legs are too short."

"Do you want me to perform a height-increasing surgery for you?"

"Otherwise, if you go to Blue Star for a blind date, you'll be discriminated against."

A figure in a red robe appeared, his handsome face exuding a lazy charm, with a bright smile that made him look like a harmless boy next door.

Of course, if he were wearing shorts and flip-flops, the vibe would be even stronger.

When they saw the newcomer, Dao God Tu Feng and the Mountain Lord's expressions froze, and their hearts trembled.

"Are you... Qi Yuan?" the Mountain Lord couldn't help but ask.

He had memorized the list of notorious figures to be cleared during this sweep.

Qi Yuan was a mysterious Divine Lord, suspected to have ties to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods.

None of that mattered now. Entering the Forbidden Land meant certain death.

But now, the aura emanating from Qi Yuan was not that of a Divine Lord.

Could it be... an ancient powerhouse in disguise?

Without hesitation, the Mountain Lord and Dao God Tu Feng, without even exchanging a glance, immediately retreated into the Dark Void.

Although they hadn't tested Qi Yuan's strength, survival was always the top priority.

"Hey, why are you short-legged folks running?"

"How about this? I'll perform the surgery for free?"

"Not enough money?"

"Give me your phone!"

The two Dao Gods' true spirits fled through the Dark Void, with Qi Yuan's voice chasing after them.

In the Dark Void, the Mountain Lord's face showed astonishment.

"This is the Dark Void. How is he catching up?"

The Dark Void was intricate and complex.

A slight deviation could mean being millions of realms off course.

Even if a Dao Lord entered, they wouldn't be able to catch up to him and Dao God Tu Feng.

"Because my legs are long!" Qi Yuan lifted his robe, revealing his long legs, as he blocked the path of Dao God Tu Feng and the Mountain Lord.

The expressions of the two Dao Gods changed drastically.

They realized that the environment within the Dark Void had shifted dramatically, and their path had been cut off by the man before them.

Even a Dao Lord couldn't achieve such a feat.

This level of control and understanding of the Dark Void... was terrifying.

"Who are you?" the Mountain Lord asked, his aura surging as he prepared to strike at any moment.

"Me? Didn't you already say my name?" Qi Yuan replied calmly. "I'm Qi Yuan, the wanted criminal you're here to eliminate. I've been waiting for you."

The two Dao Gods' faces shifted repeatedly, unsure how to respond.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not a villain like you. I'm a good person."

"See? You came here to kill me, and I'm still offering to perform free surgery to make your legs longer so you can walk faster."

"That way, if there's another cycle, maybe you can walk faster and die quicker."

Qi Yuan's words were a jumbled mess, leaving the Mountain Lord and Dao God Tu Feng utterly confused.

At this point, the Mountain Lord could only say, "Sir, we are acting under the orders of the Heavenly God to clear the Forbidden Land.

Since you are one of us, why not come with us to Heavenly King Mountain? I will personally help you resolve the curse of sinking on you."

He chose to yield, while also using the Heavenly God's name to pressure Qi Yuan.

After all, the Heavenly God's reputation was something even Dao Gods who had overcome the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations had to respect.

"Oh? You're from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?" Qi Yuan murmured. "That makes sense. Other than the Heavenly God, that little guy, who else would keep an eye on the Forbidden Land for no reason?"

Hearing this, Dao God Tu Feng and the Mountain Lord's hearts skipped a beat, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

This madman actually called the Heavenly God a "little guy"!

Who was he?

A wave of intense confusion washed over them, followed by despair.

We're doomed!
