When Wang Wu woke up again, he even had a vague sense that everything had already ended.

He knew it wasn’t just because his Creation Immortal Body had suffered heavy damage and his Divine Soul had significant losses, but also because a crucial reason was that the Cultivation Realm was no more.

The Great Dao had collapsed. In the past, this word was just a joke, but now, it had truly become a reality.

All of his power structures, his power systems, including the Five Elements Puppy Array, Five Elements Cat Array, Five Elements Little Bird Array, and the three sequences, all used this Cultivation Realm as a reference and were cultivated based on the direction indicated by Yin and Yang Qi.

Unless he could prove the Dao of Daluo, otherwise, he could never break free from this system.

But now, it was blown up by Old Man Dubhe, and the entire reference system of the Cultivation Realm was gone. So, even though he was still alive, he had lost his direction in cultivation.

Even the self-verification of Yin and Yang was not possible, at least not for the time being.

"I guess, those five Daluo who made their moves will also be affected, right?"

Wang Wu let out a sinister laugh in his heart. Daluo used to be insurmountable in his mind, sacred and untouchable, but after this incident, sorry, they’ve been disenchanted.

Turns out, they are just like this.

A half-step Daluo who could self-verify Yin and Yang, regardless of what he had done or his stance, under this system, would definitely be considered extraordinarily talented, with limitless potential, and Dragon Bi Kalas, someone Wang Wu believed he could never compare to even in a hundred thousand years, was cut off so bluntly, shamelessly, with no face spared.

Really damn dark!

Maybe the remaining seven Daluo won’t be affected. As established Daluo, their foundations are incredibly strong, but those five might be in a panic.

Of course, this is merely Wang Wu’s opinion.

At this moment, he tried to move his body but found himself completely unable to. He seemed to be buried alive, pressed under the ruins of the land.

The three Foundation Establishment Arrays were all severely damaged, and critically, they are very difficult to repair.

Now, he could only rely on the strong self-recovery ability of the Creation Immortal Body to barely survive. Worse still, in that terrifying self-detonation, his lifespan was reduced by over thirty thousand years, leaving him with only seventy thousand years left.

A bit miserable indeed.

The good news is that Frost Monarch is unharmed.

But for now, she cannot be awakened, as there is little Spiritual Qi left, and reviving her would require a lot of Spiritual Qi.

From now on, he has to be extremely frugal and meticulous with every bit of Spiritual Qi.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the explosion of the Cultivation Realm would undoubtedly have a severe impact on Outer Heaven.

Without Spiritual Qi, even Taiyi True Immortals cannot survive.

Henceforth, Wang Wu dared not act rashly and simply waited calmly for the self-recovery of the Creation Immortal Body. This process would doubtlessly be lengthy, but there was no other option.

About five hundred years later, his Creation Immortal Body was finally repaired, but he still didn’t dare to repair or operate the three Five Elements Foundation Establishment Arrays.

Without the illumination of Yin and Yang Qi, it was akin to losing the guidance of direction, and even repairing based on memory was prone to errors.

It’s like the most capable Tier Nine mechanic can’t break through some complex limits without a ruler.

Especially structures like Tier Four Foundation Establishment Arrays.

Any slight mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences.

At that time, Wang Wu wouldn’t be a Taiyi True Immortal, but a Fallen Taiyi Evil Immortal.

Of course, there’s also a chance of stumbling upon great fortune, unexpectedly finding a broader, smoother, and more promising path.

But more likely, he could end up diving into sewers, stagnant ditches, and get irreversibly stuck.

Therefore, he’d rather not repair but maintain the status quo than risk a hasty repair.

At this time, the importance of a top-tier Great Witch Priest and top-tier Astronomer Prophet becomes evident.

Right now, Wang Wu dared not release any Divine Power Immortal Techniques, as these could also cause microscopic, minute disturbances to the three Foundation Establishment Arrays, deviating them from the proper direction.

He could only rely on the power of the Creation Immortal Body to slowly cut through the rocks pressing on him, carefully excavating a path out.

Days later, Wang Wu successfully freed himself from his restraints and emerged to the surface, only to find his surroundings shrouded in dimness. It wasn’t pitch black, nor was there any other light, but a kind of chaos, barely visible yet ironically less clear than total darkness, evoking a feeling of madness and frenzy.

Within this chaotic, tumultuous aura, one could vaguely sense the Yin and Yang Qi, but it was no longer standard, clear, and stable. Many changes inexplicably arose within it, like a foul-smelling spring.

Such changes had a significant impact on former cultivators, even Earth Immortals, Taiyi, and even those few Daluo who couldn’t self-verify Yin and Yang.

If any cultivator could survive at this moment, they wouldn’t even notice becoming a monster. Of course, the more likely scenario is that they died without ever becoming one.

Their frail life force couldn’t withstand these transformations.

While Taiyi and Daluo could resist somewhat, Earth Immortals would surely turn into monsters, demons, and evil cultivators.

As the saying goes, if the direction is wrong, the harder you try, the worse it becomes.

Wang Wu collected his thoughts, secretly feeling fortunate, relieved that he hadn’t attempted to repair the Foundation Establishment Arrays earlier; otherwise, he would have fallen into an unnoticed trap.

Now, he was able to endure it.

Peering into the distance, he found he could see no far, as even directions and space seemed warped.

A series of bizarre and variable space rifts spread out like dense wounds, crisscrossing in all directions.

Wang Wu accidentally thrust his hand into one of the space rifts, and in an instant, it felt as if his arm was being torn apart by a tremendous force, or like an ancient giant dragon was biting and crazily flipping his arm.

But eventually, Wang Wu managed to painfully pull his arm back out.

Looking down, well, there were thousands of red fine lines on it. Hmm, it didn’t break the defense; his current Tier Nine Creation Immortal Body was still very strong.

However, if it were a Taiyi Seventh Tier Creation Immortal Body, it would likely be cut with wounds.

A Taiyi Sixth Tier Creation Immortal Body would be seriously injured.

Below Taiyi Fifth Tier, facing such space rifts, one would inevitably risk getting their body cut off.

Wang Wu carefully maneuvered around the larger space rifts; as for the smaller ones, there was no way around them, he could only force his way through.

This feeling was both painful and exhilarating.

Especially those only a few centimeters or a dozen centimeters long, like the mouth of a fully-powered piranha...

Wang Wu continued on his journey, basically without any sense of direction; sometimes he even had to pass through a massive rift, dozens of kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long.

There was no other way but to go through.

Space here was twisted, without any points of reference.

And the feeling of passing through such a massive space rift was like being violated, very discomforting.

Even worse, he didn’t know where the end was, where the destination lay; he could only persistently keep moving forward.

He couldn’t even calculate the passage of time.

He didn’t know exactly how long had passed, but Wang Wu finally found a relatively stable environment. Or maybe, as time passed, the chaotic state began to clear up, like murky water settling down?

Not very certain, he was very tired— not his immortal body, but his divine soul. The chaotic and confusing variables of Yin and Yang Qi were constantly interfering with him, corroding him.

He needed immense willpower to resist.

"Hmm, it’s not bad here—"

Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief; ’not bad’ meant that luckily, there were five huge space rifts and twelve smaller ones here, forming a preliminary, constrained balance.

It could only be described as a work of magical workmanship, a very rare occurrence.

These space rifts reduced the chaotic interference here to a certain degree.

Going forward, he feared it would be hard to find a better environment.

After thinking, Wang Wu decided to take the risk and at least repair a Tier Four Foundation Establishment Array so he could relatively safely unleash his Divine Power Immortal Techniques.

Just in case.

Right, those Daluo would surely send their subordinates to search.

Wang Wu sat cross-legged, first disabling the First Sequence’s Danger Perception, Warning Divine Techniques, and Spirit Essence Perception. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

These three bloodline-based divine techniques could still be effective, but at this moment, they would instead hinder him.

Especially Spirit Essence Perception and Danger Perception; as antennas connecting to the external world, who knows what kind of weird signals they might pick up?

The Five Elements Puppy Array of the First Sequence cannot be repaired, but maintaining its current state and utilizing the existing structure can still exert some effectiveness.

The same applies to the Five Elements Little Bird Array of the Third Sequence.

The only one he could repair was the Five Elements Cat Array in the center. Without a reference direction, he could only rely on his memory, relying on himself to guide the way.

After all, he was somewhat a half-dabbler Great Witch Priest and a half-baked Astronomer Prophet.

In reality, it was like trying to repair a huge house in complete darkness with the fickle light of a matchstick, extremely challenging.

Nonetheless, this environment was indeed not bad; relatively stable, allowing him at least to sense feedback from his own direction.

Plus, he was most familiar with the Five Elements Cat Array.

Even if it could barely illuminate a little, he could rely on past memories and existing intact parts for repairs.

Of course, with each repair, he had to repeatedly and cautiously confirm to prevent any errors.

Thus, step by step, he deployed, repaired bit by bit.

No telling how much time passed until he finally fully repaired it, after a trial run, Wang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, everything was successful.

He hadn’t gotten the direction wrong; it was a success.

The Five Elements Cat Array began to operate, producing a different effect.

As long as it was running, it could constantly generate new divine thoughts and slightly evolve the Three Calamities and Five Aggregates, adjusting his own status, and although it might not yet interfere with the outside world, the internal situation was improving.

Thus, Wang Wu, relying on the Five Elements Cat Array, cautiously and successively repaired the Five Elements Puppy Array and the Five Elements Little Bird Array.

By this point, he had finally fully recovered.
