All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Chapter 278 Wei Yu's Breakthrough

"I...broke through?" Wei Yu murmured to himself, feeling the powerful energy surging within him and the fullness deep within his soul. An incredulous smile appeared on his face. "I really broke through to the Breakthrough Realm!"

He raised his hand, looked at his palm, felt the power surging within, and his eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

He was finally no longer the sentinel who needed to be protected by others. He finally had the ability to protect the people around him and to protect everything that Nannan wanted to protect!

"Congratulations, Wei Yu, on breaking through to the first level of the Realm Breakthrough!" Ye Fan stepped forward, patted Wei Yu on the shoulder, and showed a sincere smile on his face, his tone full of satisfaction.

"Congratulations!" Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, and Yao Guang also spoke up to congratulate Wei Yu, their eyes filled with relief and anticipation. Yao Guang's tone remained calm, but he couldn't hide the approval in his eyes. After all, having another Breakthrough Realm expert meant having more confidence in fighting the hunters.

Looking at them, Wei Yu's eyes were filled with gratitude. He bowed deeply to the four of them, his tone firm: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have been able to be resurrected, never have been able to break through. I, Wei Yu, will never forget this kindness!"

"You're welcome!" Ye Fan waved his hand, his tone firm. "We're all transmigrators, we're all compatriots, it's only right that we support each other!"

Just then, Ye Fan's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at Wei Yu and said in a heavy tone, "Wei Yu, although you have broken through to the first level of the Breakthrough Realm, you have just broken through, your soul has not fully recovered, and the Sentinel Power has only been activated by 25%. Your strength is not stable enough yet."

"Moreover, the reinforcements from the hunters will arrive soon. This group of hunters will definitely be stronger than the previous ones. With just a few of us, we may not be able to fully protect you."

Ye Fan paused for a moment, then said firmly, "Therefore, we propose that you return to the Star Sea World. The Star Sea World has our fortifications, Su Lan and Dai Dai are there, and we have people left behind. It is much safer there than here."

"Once we've dealt with the hunters here, once your soul has fully recovered, and once your Sentinel powers are fully activated, we'll go to the Star Sea World to find you. Then, together, we'll fight the hunters and protect our people!"

Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, and Yao Guang also nodded in agreement with Ye Fan's suggestion.

"Ye Fan is right, Wei Yu. Your current condition is not suitable for staying in this dangerous place," Shen Jianxin said in a deep voice. "The Star Sea World is the safest place. You should go back first and recover your strength. We will stay here and hold off the hunters."

"That's right," Wu Xusong said, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect everyone from the Lingxu Sect. We'll come find you as soon as we've resolved things here!"

Yao Guang added, his tone cold but pertinent: "Your strength is not yet stable. Staying here will not only be of little help, but may even become a burden. Returning to the Star Sea World and stabilizing your realm as soon as possible is the most important thing right now."

But Wei Yu shook his head, his eyes resolute, his tone firm and powerful: "No! I can't go back!"

"Here are my fellow members of the Lingxu Sect, all of you. I cannot desert my post at this time; I cannot abandon you and go to safety alone!"

"I've broken through to the first level of the Realm Breakthrough. Although my strength isn't stable yet, I can fight, I can share the burden with you, and I can protect those around me. I can no longer let you face danger alone!"

"Wei Yu, listen to me, this isn't desertion, it's strategy!" Ye Fan said urgently. "Your most important task right now is to recover your strength and activate the Sentinel's power. Only when you become stronger can you better help us."

"Yes, Wei Yu, just listen to us and go back first!" Shen Jianxin also chimed in, "We're here, nothing will happen, don't worry!"

"I'm worried!" Wei Yu shook his head, his tone firm. "The hunters are far too powerful. Even if you are strong, you'll get tired and injured facing the endless waves of hunters. I can't abandon you. I want to fight alongside you!"

"I've already lost my daughter, I've lost so much, I can't lose you all too!"

Looking into Wei Yu's determined eyes and seeing the persistence in them, Yao Guang felt a slight tremor in her heart and softened her tone: "Wei Yu, we understand how you feel, and we don't want to be separated from you either, but your current condition really isn't suitable for staying in this dangerous place."

"Go back first, recover your strength, and come back with us when you're strong enough to fight the hunters, okay?"

"No!" Wei Yu shook his head again, his tone firm. "I won't go back unless you all come back with me. Otherwise, I'll stay here and fight alongside you. Even if it means death, I won't back down!"

And so, Ye Fan and the others got into a dispute with Wei Yu.

Ye Fan and the others were determined to get Wei Yu back to the Star Sea World, protect his safety, and allow him to recover his strength.

Wei Yu, however, insisted on staying at Lingxu Sect to fight against the hunters with them, to protect those around him, and he did not want to desert in the face of battle again, nor did he want to lose those around him again.

The argument grew increasingly heated, and the surrounding medical staff and Lingxu Sect disciples dared not step forward to intervene, only watching them silently.

"Wei Yu, stop being stubborn!" Ye Fan's tone became somewhat urgent. "Going back now isn't about backing down; it's about being able to fight better in the future!"

"I'm not being stubborn!" Wei Yu raised his voice, his tone firm. "I'm staying here to protect you all. I can't abandon you and leave alone at this time!"

"You..." Ye Fan was so angry with Wei Yu that he was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say something more, but looking at Wei Yu's firm eyes, he didn't know what to say.

Shen Jianxin and Wu Xusong also frowned, looking helpless. They knew that once Wei Yu made a decision, he would not easily change it.

Looking at the arguing crowd, Yao Guang felt somewhat helpless. He knew that both sides were doing it for each other's good and to protect the people around them.

Just then!

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar came from the sky, shaking the entire ruins of the Lingxu Sect violently. Huge cracks appeared in the ground, and rubble tumbled down.

Everyone instinctively stopped arguing, raised their heads, and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a black figure descended from the sky, its body shrouded in extremely dense black demonic energy. The demonic energy was as black as ink, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura, and instantly enveloped the entire ruins of the Lingxu Sect!

A dense aura of death swept over them instantly, sending a chill down everyone's spine. Their bodies began to tremble violently, and even breathing became difficult.

"What is that aura?! It's terrifying!"

A disciple of the Lingxu Sect was trembling with fear, his face was ashen, his voice was shaking, and his eyes were filled with terror.

Ye Fan, Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, Yao Guang, and Wei Yu also changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with vigilance and solemnity. They all raised their hands, activated their spiritual power, and prepared for battle.

"Is it reinforcements from the hunters?! How could it be so fast?!" Wu Xusong said in a deep voice, the lightning around him suddenly surged, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

"It doesn't seem like it!" Shen Jianxin shook his head, his eyes grave. "This aura isn't that of a hunter; it's far more bizarre and terrifying. Moreover, it carries a strong demonic aura, indicating it belongs to a demonic cultivator!"

"Demonic cultivators?" Ye Fan frowned, his eyes grave. "Why would demonic cultivators appear here at this time?"

Yao Guang's gaze also turned serious. He cultivated the power of the Wrathful Demon and was extremely sensitive to soul energy and demonic energy. He could clearly sense that this demonic energy was very strange, containing a rich amount of soul energy. Obviously, this demonic cultivator was practicing an evil technique.

"Everyone be careful!" Ye Fan said in a deep voice, his tone firm. "No matter who he is, if he's hostile towards us, we'll attack together and kill him!"

"Alright!" Shen Jianxin, Wu Xusong, Yaoguang, and Wei Yu all nodded, their eyes resolute, and their auras instantly erupted, ready to strike at any moment. Yaoguang's demonic power surged, subtly confronting the strange demonic energy, his handsome face filled with coldness.

Just as everyone was about to make a move!

The black figure suddenly raised its hand and gently inhaled at the ruins of the Lingxu Sect!

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded!

In the ruins of the Lingxu Sect, hundreds of black wisps of smoke suddenly rose slowly from the ground and from the broken walls. Those black wisps of smoke were the remnants of the souls of the hunters who died in battle, as well as the lingering vengeful spirits of the Lingxu Sect disciples who died in battle!

The black smoke was gently inhaled by the black figure and instantly absorbed into a magical artifact in his hand!

After doing all this, the black figure slowly spoke, his voice hoarse and eerie, carrying a hint of madness yet also a hint of loneliness: "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to panic. I am just a madman who has lost his homeland."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the others stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with vigilance and confusion. They looked up and stared intently at the black figure, trying to make out his appearance.
