After making the decision, Heavenly God Hao Han told them to make preparations first. Before long, they would be heading to the Xiu Heavenly God Domain.
This time, Yi Tianyun did not have anyone guide him. Instead, he wandered around freely, observing the surroundings. At times, he even blended into local life, reliving the feeling he had when he first started out.
"Impudent! Who dares trespass into our imperial city?!"
One powerful expert after another was shocked when they saw Yi Tianyun appear out of nowhere. None of them knew when an outsider had entered.
Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. His figure flashed, and he vanished on the spot, leaving nothing behind. Everyone stood frozen, completely confused.
"Walking among mortals… it's not bad at all."
These worlds posed no threat to him whatsoever. In the past, trespassing into such regions would have been a death sentence.
After wandering around for a while, he decided to head out and take a look at the Myriad Realms God Domain, curious about what lay beyond. Each space-time gate represented a different world—perhaps one of them would bring him an unexpected surprise.
When he passed through the space-time gate and appeared in the Myriad Realms God Domain, several Heavenly Venerables who had been lying in wait stiffened instantly.
"He finally came out!"
"This brat actually came out alone—he's got some nerve!"
"Observe first. Maybe others will follow…"
"Right. If we alarm Hao Han Heavenly God, we're dead for sure."
They followed quietly, extremely cautious.
The moment they started tracking him, Yi Tianyun sensed them—but he did not stop. Instead, he smiled faintly and continued walking forward.
"Some people really don't value their lives. Perfect—I can earn some experience before heading to the Xiu Heavenly God Domain."
Yi Tianyun flew toward a distant region, pretending to head for another space-time gate, steadily moving farther away from Hao Han Divine Sect.
"He really is alone."
"Should we move now? If he enters another world, it'll get troublesome."
"Surround him. Capture him alive—don't kill him by mistake!"
Four Mid-Level Heavenly Venerables moved at once, sealing off every escape route.
"You brat, behave and come with us. Otherwise, we don't mind beating you senseless before dragging you away."
Yi Tianyun looked at them calmly, smiling as if he were staring at four fat sheep.
"I was just wandering around, and someone delivers experience straight to me."
Thinking Yi Tianyun was intimidated, one of them laughed.
"It's simple. Take us into that newly emerged God Domain, and we'll spare your life. We'll even give you a few high-grade Heavenly Dao artifacts or techniques—guaranteed to satisfy you."
"Sounds pretty good," Yi Tianyun nodded seriously, though he didn't believe a single word.
"If you can help us find the God Domain Lord, the reward will be even better," another Heavenly Venerable added, raising three fingers.
"Three high-grade Heavenly Dao treasures, plus rare materials—enough for you to refine your own Heavenly Venerable divine treasure later. Worth it, right?"
They dared not force their way in. Without Yi Tianyun, entering was impossible—and capturing the domain lord would mean total control.
"That really does sound good," Yi Tianyun nodded again.
"Then hand over the treasures now. I am the God Domain Lord."
"What?!"
One of them sneered. "You think we're idiots? You? A God Domain Lord? At least Heavenly Venerable level is required! You're just a Divine Monarch!"
"Exactly! If you're the domain lord, then I'm already a Heavenly God!"
They burst out laughing.
Before the laughter faded—
A flash.
A long spear pierced straight through one Heavenly Venerable's body. With a single flick, Yi Tianyun obliterated him on the spot.
"Ding! Successfully killed Mid-Level Heavenly Venerable (Mid Stage)."
Yi Tianyun calmly shook the spear.
"First."
They froze in horror.
Where was the weakness of a Divine Monarch?
"Kill him!"
They unleashed their full power—but Yi Tianyun's aura exploded. His speed surged beyond their perception, leaving only afterimages.
Bang! Bang!
Two more Heavenly Venerables fell instantly.
Only one remained.
"You… you… how is this possible… You're only a Divine Monarch…"
Yi Tianyun walked toward him, smiling lightly.
"Didn't I already tell you? I'm the domain lord."
Then he looked straight into the man's eyes.
"Now that I've become the domain lord, have you become a Heavenly God yet?"
