Gu Mie knows that his master, Ancestor Wan Hun, is likely no longer alive. If his master were still alive, he would certainly have sent a message back. But after waiting for a long time, he never received a reply from his master.

"I have entered Fangcun Mountain several times before but have never seen the black energy wave that attacked Wan Hun Daoist," Ma Yi Ancestor said after taking a deep breath.

"I have never seen it either. In the image, we saw that Wan Hun Daoist seemed unable to resist the black energy wave. Wan Hun Daoist’s strength is above both Ma Yi’s and mine, yet he couldn’t withstand the black energy wave. If Ma Yi and I were in Fangcun Mountain and encountered such an energy attack, we wouldn’t have the chance to stand here now," Du Ya Ancestor said solemnly.

"The black energy wave probably didn’t exist in Fangcun Mountain before. In the image, Ancestor Wan Hun asked, ’Who are you?’ at the last moment, suggesting he saw a life form. Then he was attacked by the black energy wave, likely by the life form he saw," Jing Yan said slowly.

Gu Mie and the others instinctively nodded.

"Everyone! I have thought of someone—an apostle who appeared outside the Eastern Domain Main Hall, backed by a Dao Master."

"We all know Ancestor Wan Hun’s combat power. If Ancestor Wan Hun really perished in Fangcun Mountain, the one who attacked him was most likely the Dao Master from beyond Chaos, seeking to seize this Chaos," Jing Yan continued.

"Even Wan Hun Daoist couldn’t withstand a single attack from that person? Then how can we resist?" Ma Yi Ancestor said, his expression complex.

"The person who attacked Ancestor Wan Hun is indeed very strong. But from various indications, he seems to be suppressed in this Chaos. The Apostle who appeared before also said his power is suppressed by the Supreme Rule of Chaos, unable to fully exert himself. That Dao Master is surely the same. If there were no restrictions, this Chaos would have long fallen into the hands of the Dao Master from beyond Chaos," Jing Yan said.

"Yes, that should be the case. If there were no restrictions, the mysterious Dao Master wouldn’t need to use Devouring Sky Clan life forms to attack us in Chaos; he could strike directly, and no one in our Chaos could resist him," Du Ya Ancestor nodded.

"We can only take one step at a time now, waiting for the mysterious Dao Master’s next move," Jing Yan said, somewhat helplessly.

As Chaos beings, they couldn’t find any traces of the mysterious Dao Master, making it impossible to take the initiative to attack. Furthermore, Jing Yan had little understanding of the mysterious Dao Master’s methods. Although he had stepped into the Controller Realm, capable of killing seasoned Title Controllers with one sword, he was not confident he could defeat the mysterious Dao Master.

Jing Yan understood that the Ancient Tree Elder was likely killed by the mysterious Dao Master. Being able to kill the Ancient Tree Elder and recently kill Ancestor Wan Hun, the attack power was terrifying. A black energy wave appeared, and Ancestor Wan Hun couldn’t defend himself in time. Ancestor Wan Hun’s strength was very close to that of the Ancient Tree Elder.

"Jing Yan Daoist, I, Gu Mie, am willing to follow your orders! I only hope you can investigate what happened to my master," Gu Mie bowed to Jing Yan.

"Daoist Gu Mie, there’s no need for this! Even if you hadn’t asked, I would certainly investigate thoroughly," Jing Yan said quickly.

...

The final battle between Devouring Sky Clan life forms and Chaos creatures quickly unfolded completely.

Countless Chaos beings and Devouring Sky Clan life forms continuously joined the battlefield.

The battlefield was extensive, spanning the Four Domains. The closer to the Ultimate Land, the fiercer the fighting.

This time, Devouring Sky Clan life forms deliberately hid the traces of the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress. They knew Jing Yan alone could destroy a fortress, so they were concerned that if the fortress were exposed, Jing Yan would arrive immediately and destroy it.

Devouring Sky Clan Fortress purposefully hid its presence, making it indeed difficult to find. It could only be detected with the naked eye, not Divine Thought, largely depending on luck.

Endless Chaos is vast, extremely vast.

Chaos beings, using the Slaughter God Temple Main Halls in the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains as their bases, engaged in this war with the Devouring Sky Clan life forms that seemed endless.

Chaos beings had Title Controllers and Controllers participating in the war, while Devouring Sky Clan life forms had numerous Devouring Sky Clan Marshals and Generals involved.

This war brought significant trauma to Endless Chaos again. The longer the war lasted, the more impact it had on Endless Chaos. Especially since even strong beings at the Title Controller level needed to engage in high-intensity battles, causing damage to Endless Chaos that was difficult to repair.

Three years after the final battle started.

A Chaos Flying Ship flew at a constant speed in the void.

On this Chaos Flying Ship were more than ten Chaos beings, each at the Fifth Step Dao Method Realm level. Among them, not one was an All Things Realm Life.

On their long robe chests were the marks of the Slaughter God Temple, indicating they were Slaughterers, though their Slaughter levels were not high.

At that moment, these more than ten Chaos beings were sitting and discussing in the ship’s interior hall.

"I hope we can smoothly complete this slaughter task!" one person began.

"In the previous times, we managed to complete our slaughter tasks relatively smoothly. Ever since the Devouring Sky Clan beasts fully engaged in war with our Chaos beings, slaughter tasks have been continuously available, with far more Slaughter Points awarded as rewards than before," another person said.

"If we complete this slaughter task, each of us could receive over a hundred Slaughter Points," a life form in a yellow robe said.

All these more than ten individuals came from the same Chaos Country. Their original country was destroyed by Devouring Sky Clan life forms, and they narrowly escaped, wandering in Chaos. Later, as Devouring Sky Clan life forms launched a full-scale attack against Chaos beings, they went to a nearby continent, accepted a slaughter task at the Slaughter God Hall, and hunted Devouring Sky Clan life forms while earning Slaughter Points to exchange for resources.

However, due to their relatively low strength, with not a single being even at the All Things Realm level, they could only accept lower-level slaughter tasks, hunting limited numbers of Dao Method Realm Devouring Sky Clan life forms.

They were now heading to a small localized battlefield.

"How much longer until we reach the mission location?" one person asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Soon, at our current speed, it’ll take about two more days to reach the mission location. Last month, there was a relatively large-scale battle at this mission location. We’re going there now to clean up, see if there are any remnants of Devouring Sky Clan life forms. Perhaps at the mission site, we might also find some valuable resources," a female life form said with a gentle smile.
