Soon, Wu Yuan was within a hundred thousand li from the source of the disturbance. From afar, he could see two figures battling in the distant void.

In the Divine Domain Worlds, space was distorted and warped at extreme distances. Vaguely perceiving scenes around a hundred thousand li away was the limit of physical sight.

Above the vast mountain range, two Supreme Geniuses were engaged in fierce combat.

The one on the offensive was a massive black beast, towering ten thousand zhangs tall. Its entire body was pitch-black with scales covering its enormous frame. It had three heads and four hooves. Space trembled with each step it took.

However, the most eye-catching characteristic was its nine arms, each incredibly long and flexible, ending in double-edged spikes that resembled combat sabers.

The black beast was surrounded by dark mist that seemed to possess an incredible binding force, making it difficult for its opponent to struggle free.

Fighting against this beast was a woman in silver clothing, wearing a bamboo hat with a veil that partially obscured her beautiful face. Her expression was cold, and her bound hair danced in the wind.

Around her, countless lightning bolts circled, and numerous lightning-wreathed knives of terrifying power maintained a lightning domain. She put up a desperate defense against the black beast's attacks, dodging frantically.

The silver-robed woman was at an absolute disadvantage. Fortunately, her expertise in the Law of Thunder granted her incredible speed, and her superior movement techniques had allowed her to hold on until now.

However, if this battle continued, her defeat would be inevitable.

"Little girl, you can't hold out," the black beast sneered. "Hand over all your treasures, and I might consider sparing your mana body."

"Dream on!" Zhuo Haiyue replied coldly.

"Then die!" the black beast said coldly. "Ending someone of your caliber is nothing new to me."

Gamang's ferocity intensified with each strike, forcing Zhuo Haiyue into a desperate struggle to uphold her defenses.

It's really Haiyue. The realization jolted Wu Yuan, his ether body hiding in the void some distance away. But why is she in Divine Domain World 7?

According to his prior intelligence, Zhuo Haiyue was supposed to be in Divine Domain World 19. Although one could travel between different Divine Domain Worlds via spatial passages, few Supreme Geniuses dared to do so.

The spatial passages were perilous. Sending one’s true self into them meant risking disaster. Sending one’s mana or ether body was more viable, but these routes were unpredictable. Even if one secured important treasures, it was difficult to bring them back to their true self.

And she's up against Gamang? Wu Yuan's eyes glinted with intrigue.

Gamang was part of the Abyssal Devil race.

When the Megaverse Crossroads opened, the Eldritch Court and the Immortal Court stood as the dominant forces, boasting over thirty Supreme Geniuses between them.

Following closely was the Abyssal Devil race, with more than ten Supreme Geniuses. Yet, the term ‘Abyssal Devil race’ was a broad label, as most of these geniuses hailed from distinct factions within the Abyss.

The practices of the Abyssal factions were vastly different from those of other cosmic factions, but they were no less formidable.

Two Supreme Geniuses had been assigned to Divine Domain World 7. One was Gamang, of the Abyssal Devil race. Wu Yuan had no idea which universe's Abyss Gamang hailed from.

A Supreme Genius! Wu Yuan mused, his ether body's eyes alight with battle lust. I would have to engage one eventually.

Over the past century, Wu Yuan's ether body had defeated several geniuses who had mastered Sovereign-level techniques. Eventually, he had come to find that such opponents no longer posed any challenge to him. His flawless foundation gave him an overwhelming advantage.

He yearned for a clash with a Supreme Genius. Yet, these prodigies guarded their locations zealously, making encounters exceedingly rare.

Haiyue saved my life once. Wu Yuan reflected. Even if my body refiner self never interacted with her, that doesn’t change.

Assisting Haiyue, if the opportunity arose, seemed right. More than that, the prospect of battling Gamang stirred his fighting spirit.

There was a risk of defeat, but at worst, only his ether body would fall, and he could always create another.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Wu Yuan charged forth toward the battlefield.

"That's Zhuo Haiyue, isn't it?"

"A peerless genius from the Taiyuan Divine Court, and quite the monstrous prodigy. Why would she suddenly come to Divine Domain World 7?"

"No idea!"

"Gamang is indeed worthy of being a Supreme Genius. He’s truly powerful!" The spiritual qi disturbances produced by Gamang and Zhuo Haiyue's intense battle had not only drawn Wu Yuan over. Several other geniuses were also secretly observing from a radius of a hundred thousand li. However, none of them planned to interfere.

"Gamang, fight me if you dare!" Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice echoed through heaven and earth.

Boom! An azure streak of light tore through the sky.

"Who’s that? They dare join this battle?"

"Who dares to challenge Gamang?"

"Such recklessness! Even if they wanted to take advantage of the situation, they should at least wait until after the battle ended and Gamang's strength had waned." Several geniuses immediately noticed that dazzling azure light, moving at astonishing speed.

"It's Wu Yuan!"

"Wu Yuan!"

"Him? He defeated several geniuses who wielded Sovereign-level techniques. But to challenge Gamang, a Supreme Genius?"

"Has he gone mad?" These geniuses observing from the shadows stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

Usually, only Supreme Geniuses had the ability to hunt others. Yet Wu Yuan dared to issue one a challenge.

In the void, two peerless geniuses were locked in fierce combat.

Supreme Genius! This is the strength of someone who has fully comprehended the Law of Slaughter. Each attack also targets the soul, truly formidable. Zhuo Haiyue's gaze remained ice-cold.

She showed no panic, remaining calm while searching for an opportunity to escape.

"Gamang, fight me if you dare!" Suddenly, a thunderous voice echoed through heaven and earth. Following which, an azure figure flew over.

Gamang and Zhuo Haiyue naturally noticed him simultaneously, for the newcomer's aura was shocking.

That's... Confusion flickered through Zhuo Haiyue's eyes, as she found the soul aura unfamiliar.

But she recognized him - Wu Yuan, a peerless genius of the Eldritch Court. He was one of the top-tier geniuses of Divine Domain World 7.

Is he challenging Gamang? Or coming to help me? Multiple thoughts flashed through Zhuo Haiyue's mind instantly.

"Zhuo Haiyue, you and I both hail from the Greenridge Macrocosm, and this Gamang is from the Abyssal Devil race. I shall aid you." A deep voice resonated in Zhuo Haiyue's mind. Wu Yuan had sent a voice transmission.

He’s really helping me? Zhuo Haiyue was taken aback, analyzing the situation rapidly. Could the reason be so simple?

Though various Saintdoms across the river of space and time united against the Abyssal Devil race as common practice, no such consensus existed within the Megaverse Crossroads. The geniuses from various Saintdoms fought independently, striving with all their might to enter the second stage.

It doesn't matter. If Wu Yuan doesn't help me, this mana body will still be slain by Gamang. Zhuo Haiyue thought to herself. If he helps me, even with ulterior motives, the situation can't get worse than this.

"Very well, let us join forces!" Zhuo Haiyue responded.

Boom! Wu Yuan’s figure transformed, instantly growing to ten thousand zhangs, black wings manifesting behind him, while a black serpent perched upon his shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yuan's ether body had deployed ‘Creation Saint Prohibition’, Beast Fusion, and numerous grand ether arts simultaneously.

He had only one lifebound eldritch beast, so when his ether body carried Little Black into battle, his body refiner self did not have the support of his lifebound eldritch beast. However, this allowed his ether body's power to surge to extraordinary heights.

"Wu Yuan? You dare challenge me? I guess slaying Qian Baohua and the others has given you confidence." Gamang's gaze grew frosty, one of his heads turning: "If you seek death, I shall grant your wish."

Boom! Boom! Boom! The black mist surrounding Gamang spread even further, and six of the nine arms that had been fully focused on attacking Zhuo Haiyue suddenly withdrew.

Three arms, along with the black mist, continued to keep Zhuo Haiyue contained. The other six arms, each one ending in a double-edged spike, thrust toward Wu Yuan.

This change in attack methods revealed that Gamang felt Wu Yuan posed a far greater threat than Zhuo Haiyue.

Rumble~ The black mist spread across the sky, attempting to bind Wu Yuan.

"Haha, how laughable. Gamang, you're a body refiner, yet you're attempting qi refining techniques?" Wu Yuan laughed.

Little Black, coiled around his body, suddenly opened its maw. A portion of space seemed to freeze for a moment, before an astounding shockwave erupted. The surrounding black mist was instantly dispersed!

Gamang's domain was far weaker compared to those of true qi refiners. This was normal. Body refiners excelled at close combat and possessed powerful vitality, while qi refiners excelled at domain binding, arcane arts, ranged attacks, soul attacks, and more.

"Hmph! You've got some skill, I'll grant you that. But challenging me is a fatal error." Gamang's gaze turned icy.

His six arms unfurled like obsidian dragons, their power thunderous as they lashed out at Wu Yuan, poised to obliterate everything in their path.

As a Supreme Genius, especially one who had emerged victorious from countless deadly skirmishes among the Abyss's devils, Gamang approached the Megaverse Crossroads brimming with confidence.

To him, even the unmatched geniuses from various Saintdoms were little more than delicate flowers nurtured in greenhouses.

Wu Yuan? Despite his fame, Gamang dismissed him, having long considered himself unrivaled in Divine Domain World 7.

His six arms struck, resembling double-edged war sabers. On the other side, Wu Yuan launched nine simultaneous strikes, each one a dazzling blade ray.

Clang! Bang! Bang! The air exploded with a series of ferocious collisions, each impact sending shockwaves reverberating through the void.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan took a single step back.

Meanwhile, Gamang stumbled backward, his massive frame momentarily off-balance, his grip on Zhuo Haiyue slipping.

Swoosh! Zhuo Haiyue seized the opportunity, darting away and breaking free from Gamang's control.

"What?"

"Wu Yuan has the upper hand?"

"Could it be that Gamang is inferior to Wu Yuan?" Shock rippled through the crowd of gathered geniuses, each one astounded by the turn of events.

Although Gamang had not exerted his full strength in this particular skirmish, he was still a Supreme Genius. Yet, in this direct clash, he appeared slightly outmatched by Wu Yuan?

This was incomprehensible.

"Impressive, Wu Yuan," Gamang acknowledged, his colossal form shifting as he retracted all nine arms, his eyes fixed intently on Wu Yuan. "You're stronger than I thought.

“Then let's see how you handle my full power!"

Boom! Gamang charged forward with a newfound intensity, completely ignoring Zhuo Haiyue this time. His nine arms formed a flawless offensive alignment, as if prepared to rend the heavens and earth apart.

"Kill!" Wu Yuan's battle spirit surged skyward, his wings quivering as he fearlessly swung his saber, plunging headlong into the fray.
