### Chapter 2337 — The Decision
Inside the main hall of the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Yang Lin, Qiuyue Lu, and Yao Qiufei returned and calmly sat down.
The enormous hall once again became peaceful.
Qiuyue Lu looked toward Yang Lin.
Her beautiful eyes carried a trace of concern.
"What if more Immortal Emperors come?"
Yao Qiufei also looked toward Yang Lin.
Neither woman knew how many powerful forces were currently watching the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Yang Lin remained completely indifferent.
"Let them come."
His voice was calm.
"I'll turn them into Nothingness."
Silence.
Qiuyue Lu's expression froze for a moment.
Yao Qiufei's pink eyes widened slightly.
Then both women slowly became calm.
They understood.
Yang Lin had already decided.
Anyone who came with hostile intentions—
regardless of whether they were an Immortal Emperor or something even higher—
would have only one ending.
Nothingness.
Qiuyue Lu gently nodded.
"I understand."
Yao Qiufei also nodded.
"Then there is nothing to worry about."
Yang Lin calmly stood.
"Alright."
"I'm going out to deal with some Ancient Immortal Sects."
"You two stay in the Heaven Cutter Sect."
"Remain in the main hall."
"Don't go outside."
Qiuyue Lu immediately understood his intention.
"Alright."
Yao Qiufei nodded.
"We'll stay here."
Yang Lin calmly looked at them.
Then—
he sent a voice transmission.
"Mo Xian, I'm leaving to deal with some Ancient Immortal Sects."
Far away, within Yang Lin's private courtyard—
Mo Xian stood in front of the pavilion.
She received the voice transmission and calmly replied,
"Alright."
"Be safe."
"I know you will."
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"You too."
Mo Xian nodded.
"Alright."
Then she added,
"Don't worry. I'll protect the Heaven Cutter Sect."
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Alright, then."
His voice transmission ended.
Yang Lin turned toward the entrance.
Qiuyue Lu and Yao Qiufei also stood.
They watched him walk away.
At the entrance of the main hall, Yang Lin stopped.
"Alright."
"I'm leaving."
"See you."
Qiuyue Lu smiled softly.
"See you."
Yao Qiufei also smiled.
"Be careful."
Yang Lin nodded.
Then—
his figure rose into the sky.
The enormous 10,000-light-year-diameter Central Mountain stretched beneath him.
Countless immortal floating mountains drifted through the clouds.
Immortal waterfalls descended from the peaks.
Yang Lin calmly passed through the outer region of the Heaven Cutter Sect.
A moment later—
he left the sect.
His gaze turned toward the distant horizon.
"The Dark Immortal Sect."
"Let's see if these guys are anything worth dealing with."
His figure disappeared.
---
### Chapter 2338 — The Dark Immortal Sect
Yang Lin flew through the Central Domain.
Immortal Qi clouds rolled across the heavens.
From time to time, enormous Transcendence Qi storms moved across the distant sky.
Yet none of them affected Yang Lin.
He continued forward calmly.
Then—
he suddenly stopped.
He stood in midair as though the invisible sky beneath his feet were solid land.
Yang Lin looked toward the right.
A strange sensation appeared within his consciousness.
"Wait."
"Underneath, a few light-years away..."
"To the right, in the Dark Wasteland area of the Central Domain."
"I can feel that I have a connection to someone."
His eyes became thoughtful.
"I should go and see."
He remained silent for a moment.
Then he smiled faintly.
"Well."
"I'll deal with the Ancient Immortal Sect first."
Yang Lin continued forward.
Soon—
an enormous ancient sect appeared before him.
The Dark Immortal Sect.
It occupied an enormous region of the Central Domain.
Ancient formations covered the surrounding space.
Countless mountains stretched toward the heavens.
Yang Lin stopped outside.
He calmly looked forward.
"Aren't you hidden experts coming out to meet me?"
His voice wasn't loud.
But it spread throughout the entire Dark Immortal Sect.
Silence.
Then—
BOOM!
More than twenty terrifying auras erupted simultaneously.
More than twenty Immortal Sovereign Supremes appeared around Yang Lin.
They completely surrounded him.
At the front—
a man in his thirties appeared.
His expression was cold.
His aura was far more powerful than the others.
A Quasar Immortal Emperor Early Stage.
Yang Lin looked at him.
"Oh."
"So this is how you want to play?"
His lips curved upward.
"Then let me show you."
"This is exactly what I wanted."
The expressions of the more than twenty Immortal Sovereign Supremes became complicated.
Some were confident.
Others became cautious.
They had expected Yang Lin to be furious.
Instead—
he looked completely relaxed.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor's gaze became increasingly cautious.
He coldly said,
"Stop talking nonsense."
"You came here to pick a fight."
"Then don't leave."
Yang Lin smiled.
"Well, well."
The Quasar Immortal Emperor's murderous intent suddenly erupted.
"Kill!"
---
### Chapter 2339 — One Sword
One Immortal Sovereign Supreme stepped forward.
"Let me handle him."
"Why bother my brothers?"
The moment his voice fell—
Yang Lin still hadn't moved.
A dark-red flash appeared.
The Immortal Sovereign Supreme suddenly froze.
His body was sliced into two.
There was no blood.
No scream.
No struggle.
His soul had no opportunity to escape.
His body, soul, existence, and everything connected to him—
all disappeared into Nothingness.
Even causality and cause and effect were not merely cut, erased, or severed.
They were transformed into something beyond comprehension.
Nothingness.
Yang Lin stood motionless.
In his right hand was a dark-red sword.
It was slender and extraordinarily sharp.
The blade appeared to contain countless layers of Transcendence power compressed into an impossibly small existence.
Its surface possessed a deep crimson glow.
Yet beneath that crimson—
there was only absolute emptiness.
It was a weapon Yang Lin had created from Nothingness itself.
A Dark-Red Transcendence Perfection Late Stage Peak weapon.
The remaining nineteen Immortal Sovereign Supremes stared at the vanished figure.
Their expressions became horrified.
Some subconsciously stepped backward.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor's pupils contracted.
He stared at the dark-red sword.
"What..."
For the first time—
his expression showed genuine caution.
The sword had not released some earth-shattering aura.
It simply existed.
Yet that was precisely what terrified him.
Yang Lin calmly looked at the remaining nineteen.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor suddenly shouted angrily.
"You are finished!"
He turned toward his subordinates.
"All of you!"
"Charge!"
"Block space!"
"Seal time and space!"
The nineteen Immortal Sovereign Supremes hesitated for an instant.
Then—
all nineteen charged simultaneously.
Space was sealed.
Time became stagnant.
Countless laws erupted.
Yet Yang Lin merely raised his dark-red sword.
One flash.
Then another.
And another.
---
### Chapter 2340 — Nothingness
The nineteen Immortal Sovereign Supremes were sliced apart almost simultaneously.
Their bodies separated.
Their souls never escaped.
Their causal lines never had an opportunity to activate.
Their treasures shattered.
Their defensive techniques vanished.
Everything they possessed—
cultivation, souls, origins, laws, memories, causal connections—
was transformed into Nothingness.
No blood fell.
No corpses remained.
The sealed space became completely empty.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor stood alone.
His expression was horrified.
The murderous arrogance from before had disappeared.
For several breaths—
he simply stared.
Nineteen Immortal Sovereign Supremes.
Gone.
Just like that.
Yang Lin calmly lowered the dark-red sword.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor slowly composed himself.
His eyes became filled with murderous intent.
"You..."
His voice trembled with fury.
"Die!"
He charged.
His power erupted.
The surrounding heavens shook.
Space shattered.
Transcendence Qi surged violently.
The Quasar Immortal Emperor's fist carried enough power to destroy countless worlds.
Yang Lin simply raised a palm.
Above him—
the heavens seemed to darken.
A gigantic palm emerged.
It was covered in Nothingness.
It wasn't simply black.
Black could still be described.
This could not.
It was darkness beyond darkness.
Nothingness itself.
The enormous palm descended.
BOOM!
The Quasar Immortal Emperor was crushed.
His body disappeared.
His soul disappeared.
His origin disappeared.
His causality disappeared.
Everything became Nothingness.
Yang Lin calmly lowered his hand.
The Dark Immortal Sect beneath him began to tremble.
Then—
the gigantic palm descended toward the entire sect.
BOOM!
The entire Dark Immortal Sect vanished.
Its mountains.
Its palaces.
Its formations.
Its disciples.
Its treasures.
Everything.
Nothing remained.
Even the land beneath the sect possessed no palm print.
There was simply—
Nothingness.
Yang Lin looked down.
"Well."
He calmly turned around.
"Is that all?"
"Are there any other Immortal Emperors here?"
No answer came.
Yang Lin calmly turned toward the distance.
"Then I'm heading toward the Dark Wasteland."
---
### Chapter 2341 — The Dark Wasteland
Yang Lin flew toward the center of the Central Domain.
"The Dark Wasteland."
His eyes became slightly curious.
"This place is at the very center of the Central Domain."
"At the very center of the entire Lower Realm."
"It is one of the most forbidden regions in the entire Lower Realm."
Even Dao Severing cultivators couldn't confidently say they would survive there.
Transcendence Early Stage cultivators—
not necessarily.
Transcendence Mid Stage—
still dangerous.
Only Transcendence Late Stage, Transcendence Perfection Early Stage, Transcendence Perfection Mid Stage, and Transcendence Perfection Late Stage cultivators possessed a reliable chance of surviving.
But even then—
it depended on the individual.
Yang Lin calmly flew forward.
The distance between him and the Dark Wasteland rapidly disappeared.
Less than a nano second later—
Yang Lin stood in front of the Dark Wasteland.
He looked ahead.
The region was enormous.
Its diameter reached approximately one million light-years.
A dark-grey sky covered the entire wasteland.
Dark mountains stretched endlessly across the land.
Some were only one light-year tall.
Others reached hundreds of light-years into the heavens.
Dark Transcendence Qi covered the mountains.
It was different from ordinary Transcendence Qi.
It was denser.
More violent.
More ancient.
Yang Lin calmly looked around.
"What do I have a connection with from this kind of place?"
He smiled.
"Well."
"I love unknown things."
"So I'll find it out."
Then—
he flew inside.
---
### Chapter 2342 — The Tallest Mountain
Yang Lin flew at a normal speed.
A few light-years per nano second.
The enormous dark mountains passed beneath him.
Dark Transcendence Qi rolled around their peaks.
The sky remained dark grey.
The deeper Yang Lin went—
the more powerful the surrounding energy became.
After approximately one minute—
Yang Lin suddenly stopped.
Far ahead—
a mountain stood above all the others.
It was approximately 200 light-years tall.
Its peak pierced through the dark clouds.
Dark mountains surrounded it like ancient giants.
Yet this mountain was different.
A strange and extremely pure energy surrounded it.
Yang Lin calmly looked at it.
"This mountain is 200 light-years tall."
"The tallest one here."
He looked upward.
"Indeed."
"A tall mountain."
But his expression soon became thoughtful.
"What is the connection I feel?"
He remained silent.
"I just wanted to feel a connection."
"Not because I wanted to have a connection."
"Not because I will necessarily have one."
"I simply wanted to experience it myself."
"Perhaps a future ally."
"Or someone else."
Yang Lin disappeared.
The next instant—
he appeared inside the 200-light-year-tall mountain.
His eyes immediately noticed something.
A blue pool.
It was enormous.
A faint light-blue glow covered its surface.
The energy within it was so pure that ordinary Transcendence Qi seemed like a crude imitation.
Yang Lin calmly looked down.
"So this is the Blue Pool from the Immortal Realm."
"Not bad."
"But obviously..."
"It's useless to me."
Suddenly—
a crazed yet beautiful laugh echoed through the mountain.
"Hahahaha..."
Yang Lin turned his head.
A woman was inside the pool.
---
### Chapter 2343 — The Chained Dragon
She possessed an extraordinary appearance.
Long blue hair flowed around her body, with subtle strands of purple mixed within it.
Two magnificent horns rose from her head.
They were blue and purple, curved elegantly toward the heavens.
Her beautiful face carried an otherworldly charm.
Her eyes were sharp and intelligent.
Her features were delicate, yet there was a wildness hidden within her expression.
She wore a blue-and-purple cultivation outfit.
The clothing wrapped elegantly around her upper body and waist, with layered fabric flowing around her figure.
A small portion of her upper chest was visible between the overlapping blue-purple cloth, while the rest of her body remained covered by the flowing cultivation robes.
Her sleeves and lower garments were decorated with faint ancient patterns.
Dark Dao chains wrapped around her body.
Some disappeared into the surrounding mountain.
Others sank directly into the Blue Pool.
Half of her body remained submerged within the incredibly pure water.
Her aura—
was that of a Transcendence Lord.
Yet her condition was clearly abnormal.
She was imprisoned.
The dragon woman stared at Yang Lin.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed.
Then she laughed coldly.
"You are more arrogant than anyone I've ever known."
"But..."
Her gaze became serious.
"You are truly capable of coming here."
"That proves you are one of the most talented people in the Lower Realm."
She looked toward the pool.
"This pool is an extremely rare treasure."
"And you're saying it's nothing special?"
Yang Lin calmly looked at the Blue Pool.
"This is only a tiny pool."
"What's so special about it?"
He paused.
"Even the Rui Star is nothing special."
"It's only a starting point to me."
The dragon woman's expression changed.
Confusion appeared in her eyes.
Then anger.
"Are you—"
She suddenly stopped.
Her pupils contracted.
"Wait."
"How did you know this star is called the Rui Star?"
Her expression became increasingly shocked.
"Only the strongest forces in the Immortal Realm know that name."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"I'm not from here."
The woman froze.
Yang Lin continued,
"And it's just a tiny star."
"Only around 400 billion light-years in diameter."
"Not much."
The dragon woman's entire expression became petrified.
Her beautiful eyes widened.
Horror slowly replaced the anger in her eyes.
"Who..."
She swallowed.
"Who are you exactly?"
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Someone."
---
### Chapter 2344 — The Blue Pool
Yang Lin slowly walked toward the Blue Pool.
The dragon woman's expression immediately changed.
"Wait."
"Don't step into the pool."
Yang Lin continued walking.
She quickly warned him,
"Your cultivation will slowly be drained."
Yang Lin calmly stepped onto the Blue Pool.
His foot touched the surface.
Nothing happened.
He continued walking.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
The dragon woman's expression became completely petrified.
Yang Lin walked across the surface of the pool as though he were walking on ordinary ground.
He looked down.
"Well."
"What a joke is this pool?"
"Is that all?"
The dragon woman couldn't speak.
Even Transcendence Perfection Late Stage Peak absolute cultivators—
existences standing at the very peak of the Lower Realm—
couldn't withstand a single step on this pool.
Their cultivation would be drained.
Their foundations would collapse.
Their lives would disappear.
Yet Yang Lin was walking across it casually.
The dragon woman's eyes trembled.
"Even Transcendence Perfection Late Stage Peak absolute cultivators..."
"Even they cannot survive a single step on this pool."
"Who are you?"
Yang Lin calmly continued toward her.
"Please don't compare me to anyone."
The woman stared at him.
Yang Lin eventually reached her.
He leaned slightly toward her face.
Their eyes met.
"You want to escape?"
The dragon woman's expression changed.
"Obviously."
But before she could say anything else—
Yang Lin turned around.
He simply walked away.
At that exact moment—
CRACK!
The Dao chains shattered.
One after another.
The ancient chains that had restrained the dragon woman for countless years collapsed into fragments.
Her eyes widened.
She looked down at the broken chains.
Then at Yang Lin's back.
She was completely stunned.
The impossible had happened so casually.
---
### Chapter 2345 — Zi Xian Lu
The dragon woman slowly rose from the Blue Pool.
The water slid away from her blue-and-purple cultivation robes.
The wounds and injuries accumulated across her body began healing at an astonishing speed.
Her aura gradually recovered.
The broken Dao chains disappeared into Nothingness.
She looked toward Yang Lin.
Her expression was complicated.
There was shock.
There was disbelief.
And there was a faint excitement she could not hide.
She took a step forward.
"My name is..."
She paused.
Then calmly said,
"Zi Xian Lu."
Yang Lin turned around.
"Zi Xian Lu."
He repeated the name once.
Then he smiled faintly.
"Beautiful name."
Zi Xian Lu froze.
A subtle change appeared across her beautiful face.
Her eyes widened slightly.
Then—
a faint blush appeared across her cheeks.
She had spent countless years imprisoned within the Blue Pool.
She had heard countless words.
But somehow—
those simple words from Yang Lin made her feel strangely different.
She looked away for a moment.
"Thank you."
Yang Lin calmly looked at her.
"You were imprisoned here for a long time?"
Zi Xian Lu's expression became serious.
"Yes."
"Very long."
Yang Lin nodded.
"I see."
Zi Xian Lu looked toward him.
For the first time in countless years—
she felt that something had changed.
Both disappeared then appeared outside the 200 light year tall mountain.
---
### Chapter 2346 — An Unknown Connection
The Dark Wasteland remained silent.
The dark-grey sky stretched endlessly above the enormous mountains.
Dark Transcendence Qi rolled between the peaks.
Yang Lin stood calmly beside Zi Xian Lu.
She looked toward the distance.
"Where are you going next?"
"Back to your sect or faction?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"Eventually."
"But first..."
His gaze swept across the Dark Wasteland.
"I want to understand this place, unknown is fun."
Zi Xian Lu's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You came here because of me."
Yang Lin calmly answered,
"Perhaps."
She couldn't help smiling.
"You really don't like giving definite answers."
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"I only say what i want to say ."
Zi Xian Lu looked at him carefully.
"You said you're not from here."
"Then where are you from?"
Yang Lin looked toward the dark-grey heavens in calm but a nostalgic look.
"Somewhere far away."
"Farther than you can imagine."
Zi Xian Lu became silent.
She had originally thought she understood the Immortal Realm, Rui Star.
But after meeting Yang Lin—
she realized that even the Rui Star itself was only a tiny part of a much greater existence.
Yang Lin suddenly looked toward her.
"You are free now."
Zi Xian Lu looked down at herself.
The ancient chains were gone.
For the first time in countless years—
nothing restrained her.
She slowly clenched her hand.
Her cultivation surged.
The surrounding Dark Transcendence Qi trembled.
A smile appeared on her face.
"Yes."
"I'm free."
Yang Lin nodded.
"Good."
Zi Xian Lu looked toward him.
"Yang Lin."
Yang Lin calmly asked
"What?"
Zi Xian Lu asked
"Can i follow you?"
Yang Lin calmly smiled.
"If you want follow me if i want I'll find you"
Zi Xian Lu's beautiful eyes softened.
"Then I'll follow you."
Yang Lin turned toward the distant horizon.
The enormous Dark Wasteland stretched endlessly before them.
One million light-years in diameter.
Ancient mountains.
Dark Transcendence Qi.
Unknown dangers.
Unknown secrets.
And now—
an unknown connection.
Yang Lin calmly stepped forward.
Zi Xian Lu followed.
She didn't knew what their meeting would eventually bring but Yang Lin knew but chose not to know.
