All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Chapter 271 The Universal One, the Ferryman Awakens!

A deafening roar shook the sky above the Lingxu Sect. The hunter leader's all-out attack, like a thunderbolt that could destroy the heavens and the earth, slammed into Xuan Qing and the other two!

"puff--!"

Three jets of blood gushed out simultaneously. Xuan Qing, Xia Gui, and Han Xuanxuan were thrown back like kites with broken strings by the immense force, crashing heavily into the distant stone wall with a dull thud. The stone wall shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere!

Xuan Qing was covered in blood, his chest was caved in, and his natal sword had slipped from his hand and stuck in the ground not far away. The sword trembled and made a mournful buzzing sound. He tried to prop himself up, but as soon as he exerted any force, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His eyes became unfocused and his breath was as weak as a candle in the wind.

Xia Gui's staff was already shattered, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, his arm was twisted at an eerie angle, and the spiritual energy barrier on his body was completely broken. The poison and spiritual energy clashed together, causing his whole body to convulse. He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes and could only groan weakly.

Han Xuanxuan was in an even more miserable state. Her small body was covered in blood, and her little rabbit doll was torn to pieces and scattered around. She was curled up on the ground, her breath weak, her face as pale as paper, and even her breathing had become extremely weak, as if she would die completely at any moment.

"Xuanqing! Xia Gui! Xuanxuan!"

Wei Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and a heart-wrenching roar resounded through the heavens and earth. A lotus flower appeared, and his aura surged wildly. Ignoring the wounds that already covered his body, he turned around and rushed towards the three of them, his eyes filled with anxiety and despair.

He had to save them! Even if it cost him his life, he would save them!

But just as he moved, two black figures suddenly shot out from the side, their long swords carrying a sharp killing intent, and slashed fiercely at Wei Yu's back!

"You're courting death!" Wei Yu roared, forcibly twisting his body and hastily parrying with his longsword. "Clang! Clang!" Two crisp sounds rang out, and a tremendous force instantly struck him, causing him to stagger backward. His chest heaved, and he could no longer hold back a mouthful of blood, which spurted out and splashed onto the ground, staining a patch of bluestone red.

"Hahaha! You can barely save yourself, yet you want to save others?" The two hunters laughed, their tone full of cruelty and mockery. "Today, all of you will die here! Not one of you will survive!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men brandished their longswords again and charged towards Wei Yu. Their sword strikes were fierce and deadly, giving Wei Yu no chance to catch his breath.

Wei Yu gritted his teeth and desperately circulated his spiritual power, barely managing to defend himself with his longsword. However, he was already severely injured and had exhausted most of his spiritual power. Facing two hunters at the early stage of the Breaking Realm, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. More and more wounds appeared on his body, and blood kept dripping down. Every time he parried, he had to endure a huge impact, and his arms were already numb.

He looked at the three unconscious people not far away, his heart filled with a mixture of anger and helplessness. He wanted to rush over immediately, but he was tightly entangled by the hunters and could not break free. He could only watch helplessly as the three lay on the ground, their fates unknown.

"Xuanqing... I'm sorry..." Wei Yu's eyes were filled with tears, his heart overflowing with guilt. "It's my fault, I failed to protect you all..."

Just when all hope seemed lost, a resolute voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, carrying an air of do-or-die determination!

"stop!"

All eyes turned to him instantly. There stood Senior Brother Yu Huai, his spiritual energy surging wildly around him, his face flushed red, and veins bulging on his forehead. He was clearly enduring immense pain.

Yu Huai, the senior disciple of Lingxu Sect, is exceptionally talented. In order to hone his foundation, he sealed his cultivation level by four layers and has been in seclusion for many years, rarely showing his face. At this moment, seeing Xuan Qing and the other two seriously injured and Wei Yu surrounded, he could no longer hold back!

"Senior Brother!"

The surviving disciples of the Lingxu Sect saw Yu Huai and instantly saw a glimmer of hope. They exclaimed excitedly, their voices filled with excitement. They all knew that their senior brother's strength was the ceiling of the younger generation of the Lingxu Sect. As long as their senior brother made a move, he would definitely be able to repel the hunters!

The leader of the hunters slowly turned his head to look at Yu Huai, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Oh? Another one coming to die? A mere cultivator in the Inner Realm dares to be so insolent before me?"

Yu Huai ignored his taunts, closed his eyes tightly, and quickly formed hand seals. The spiritual light around him grew stronger and stronger, and a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation was rapidly rising. The ground trembled slightly, and the surrounding air became viscous.

"Forced break of the seal! Senior Brother is attempting to forcibly break through the fourth layer of the seal!"

"This is insane! Forcibly breaking the seal will damage your very foundation, and might even destroy your cultivation!"

The disciples exclaimed in alarm, their faces filled with worry—each layer of the self-sealed seal was bound to their own soul. Forcibly breaking the seal was tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, and if they were not careful, their souls would be scattered!

Ning Shuang was also stunned. She looked at Yu Huai, her eyes filled with shock and dissuasion: "Senior Brother! No! Forcibly breaking the seal is too dangerous. Let's think of another way, there must be one!"

Yu Huai didn't open his eyes, a trickle of blood already seeping from the corner of his mouth. He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse but firm: "There's no other way... Xuan Qing and the others are seriously injured, you're surrounded, the Lingxu Sect can't afford to lose anyone else... Today, even if it costs me my life, I will protect everyone!"

"Break for me!!!"

With a deafening roar, Yu Huai suddenly opened his eyes, which burst forth with dazzling golden light. His spiritual power surged instantly, and a pressure several times stronger than before spread out like Mount Tai pressing down!

"puff--!"

A mouthful of blood gushed from Yu Huai's mouth, staining his robes red. His body trembled violently, and the seals around him were breaking at a visible speed. Golden spiritual light burst forth from his body, converging into a golden ocean.

The first seal is broken!

The second seal is broken!

The third seal is broken!

The fourth seal, under his forceful impact, emitted a piercing cracking sound and vanished instantly, like shattered glass!

"Buzz—!"

The terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy surged once again, and Yu Huai's aura soared like a rocket, progressing from the early stage of the Breakthrough Realm to the middle stage, the third stage of the Breakthrough Realm, and finally the fourth stage of the Breakthrough Realm!

In just a moment, his cultivation level was forcibly broken through to the fourth level of the Breaking Realm!

The entire Lingxu Sect was enveloped by this terrifying fluctuation of spiritual energy. The hunters' expressions changed drastically, their bodies trembled, and their eyes were filled with disbelief—a fourth-level Breakthrough Realm cultivator! Among all the hunters, only the leaders and a few others could contend with such strength!

The hunter leader's expression finally turned serious. The disdain in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by a hint of apprehension: "I didn't expect the Spirit Void Sect to have such a ruthless character, forcibly breaking through the seal to reach the fourth level of the Realm Breaker. He certainly has some backbone!"

Yu Huai slowly stood up. Although blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, his face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was somewhat disordered, his eyes were sharp as knives, fixed on the leader of the hunters. The golden spiritual power around him was like a golden dragon, swirling around him, exuding an aura of world destruction.

"Your opponent is me!" Yu Huai's voice was hoarse yet authoritative, carrying an undeniable resolve. "Today, with me here, you will not harm a single member of my Lingxu Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huai flashed forward like an arrow, rushing towards the leader of the hunters. The golden spiritual power around him instantly condensed into a huge golden longsword, which slashed down fiercely at the leader of the hunters with immense force!

"Well done!" The leader of the hunters shouted, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. The black spiritual energy around him surged wildly, and the black longsword in his hand instantly condensed into a huge black blade light, fiercely meeting Yu Huai's golden longsword!

"boom--!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens as the golden longsword and the black blade clashed violently in mid-air. A massive shockwave swept outwards, causing the entire Lingxu Sect to tremble violently. Huge cracks appeared on the ground, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Yu Huai was jolted back a few steps by the shockwave, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth again. He staggered before barely managing to steady himself—the drawbacks of forcibly breaking through were immediately apparent. His cultivation was unstable, his spiritual energy was chaotic, and he was unable to fully control the power of the fourth level of the Breakthrough Realm. With just one strike, he consumed a large amount of his spiritual energy, and his body also suffered a huge backlash.

The leader of the hunters was also forced back a step by the shockwave, his eyes filled with surprise—he had not expected that Yu Huai could still unleash such powerful strength after his forced breakthrough. Although his cultivation was unstable, his strength was already enough to contend with him!

"Hahaha! That's exhilarating!" The hunter leader laughed heartily, his tone filled with fighting spirit. "Even if your cultivation is unstable, today I'm going to have some fun with you and see just how capable you really are with this forced breakthrough to the fourth level of the Realm Breakthrough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the hunters flashed forward and charged towards Yu Huai again. He wielded his black longsword with impenetrable speed, and black blade beams shot towards Yu Huai like a storm. The blade's momentum was fierce and unstoppable!

Yu Huai's eyes sharpened, but he remained calm. He desperately circulated his spiritual power, rapidly wielding his golden longsword. Golden sword shadows met the black blade light head-on with a series of crisp clangs. The golden and black lights intertwined, dazzling the eye.

The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows and explosions. The entire sky above the Lingxu Sect was shrouded in flames of war, with massive shockwaves constantly sweeping around, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere, a sight that terrified anyone who witnessed it.

But everyone could see that Yu Huai was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position—the backlash from his forced breakthrough was becoming more and more severe, his breathing was becoming more and more disordered, his movements were becoming more and more sluggish, and he had to endure great pain with every block. The wounds on his body were also increasing, and blood kept dripping down, staining his robes and the ground red.

He could barely resist the hunter leader's attacks and had no chance to fight back. If this continued, he would be killed by the hunter leader soon!

"Senior Brother!" Wei Yu looked at Yu Huai with anxiety and heartache in his eyes. He used all his strength to swing his long sword, trying to get rid of the two hunters around him and help Yu Huai, but his injuries were too severe and he could not break through the hunters' blockade. He could only watch helplessly as Yu Huai was surrounded and attacked, feeling powerless.

Just then, a figure suddenly shot out from the crowd, her spiritual power surging wildly, her aura reaching the third level of the Breaking Realm—it was none other than Second Senior Sister, Whale Cry!

Just as Whale Cry broke through to the third level of the Realm Breakthrough, she was defending against the hunters' attacks when, at the very moment of her breakthrough, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind, as if from the depths of the universe, resounding throughout her entire soul!

"The cry of the whale has awakened!"

"Please, all beings of the universe, assist Sentinel Wei Yu as soon as possible in analyzing and broadcasting Earth's coordinates for all wanderers of the myriad worlds!"

"Assisting the extradition leader Xueyang, guiding all those who have lost their homes back home!"

Three sentences, like a thunderclap, echoed repeatedly in Jingming's mind, shaking her to her core, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief—Earth? Wanderer of the Myriad Realms? Sentinel Wei Yu? Ferryman Xue Yang?

The news flooded her mind instantly, leaving her momentarily stunned. However, she could clearly sense that this message was not an illusion, but rather came from an incredibly powerful being. It seemed that Wei Yu and Xue Yang were also intricately connected to this message!

Jingming suddenly turned her head, her gaze fixed on Wei Yu, who was being entangled by hunters not far away. Her eyes were full of urgency and determination—she couldn't let Wei Yu die!

Wei Yu, you must leave! Leave immediately! You can't stay here!

Without the slightest hesitation, Jingming's third-level Breaking Realm spiritual power surged instantly. She swung her long whip fiercely, and a golden whip shadow shot out, lashing out fiercely at the two hunters who were entangled with Wei Yu!

"Slap! Slap!"
