[Awakening the Immortal Embryo!]
—
As the transparent screen only visible to Lucian appeared, he carefully read the notifications.
Although he was truly relieved that he and his women were now safe, yet reading the notifications his brows couldn’t help but furrowed deeply.
Earlier he clearly saw that the demonic figure was very similar to that of the Netherworld Demon Emperor’s Soul.
“Didn’t the System say the Demon Emperor’s Soul had been destroyed, then how could the Immortal Embryo manifest now? And what exactly is this Immortal Embryo!?”
So he asked inwardly as this wasn’t the first time he saw the words “Immortal Embryo”.
Back then when he used the Heavenly Fate Opportunity, the opportunity he received was related to the Netherworld Demon Emperor.
And in the description of that opportunity, he first saw the two words – “Immortal Embryo”.
Although he didn’t use the Heavenly Fate Opportunity option after that because he wanted to save the Fate Strands to use inside the Tribulation Realm, he certainly didn’t forget about this.
Even though he still didn’t understand what this two words meant, he at least could guess it couldn’t be something ordinary.
But now he couldn’t help but think that he had greatly underestimated what they really meant!
So he asked the System directly.
Though the System wouldn’t answer his random questions, he still gave it a try.
After all, in the past there were few instances when the System had replied.
However, even after waiting for a while, he didn’t receive any response.
Just when he thought the System wouldn’t reply, the transparent screen slowly changed!

[The Soul of the Netherworld Demon Emperor has truly been destroyed by the System in a way that he has been completely erased from the existence without any chance of reincarnation]
[However, because the Halberd was a Soul Treasure of the Netherworld Demon Emperor, an extension of his very being, it still retains some of the traits of the Netherworld Demon Emperor like the “shape” of his Immortal Embryo, his racial flames, as well as his Sound Authority]
[The Immortal Embryo isn’t supposed to be manifested in this broken realm, but given the Host’s dire situation at that time System had no choice but to use all the Fate Strands to forcefully stimulate the single strand of “Immortal Qi” left in the Halberd to awaken the Immortal Embryo]
—
As Lucian’s mind processed all these pieces of information, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply!
Immortal Qi!
These two words echoed in his mind, erupting like thousands of heavenly thunder!
His crimson eyes glittered fiercely like sun, reflecting the shock within his mind.
After a moment,
“So what the hell is an Immortal Embryo?” He asked again as the System didn’t answer this question, then also added,
“And what the hell is a broken realm? Also can I awaken the Immortal Embryo again in the future using Fate Strands? Oh right, can you tell me what is the Outside that old man was talking about?”
He waited for a moment and the System’s screen changed again.
—
[This realm is separated from the true Immortal World, with incomplete Heavenly Laws which is why Cultivators can only reach the Ruler Realm]
[Because to break through to a higher realm, complete Heavenly Laws are needed and to transcend even that to reach Immortal Realms, Immortal Qi is needed, but that’s impossible to find here]
[State Preceptor Qi Ye had sensed an aura of Immortal Qi within Host because of the existence of the Halberd inside Host’s Sea of Consciousness]
[But since the Halberd is a high rank Immortal Treasure, Qi Ye couldn’t trace the origin of the Immortal Qi, leading him mistakenly to assume that the Host himself is someone who came from beyond this broken realm]
[As for awakening the Immortal Embryo again, it’s almost impossible now that there’s no Immortal Qi]
[Also the System suggests against it because each time it is manifested, without any “anchor”, it’ll slowly weaken and eventually dissipate completely, merging with the Heaven and Earth]
[So the System advises the Host not to use the Immortal Embryo, instead absorb this Immortal Embryo to give birth to Host’s own Immortal Embryo in the future]
—
Although the System didn’t explain what the Immortal Embryo was, the rest of the information was enough to shake his soul!
From this information, he could also easily guess that the Outside was the world beyond this broken realm!
At this moment,
He could not longer maintain his calm, his chest tightened and his heart was in complete turmoil!
This information completely shattered his understanding of the cultivation world like a boulder through thin ice!
“Lucian, what happened? Why are you trembling?!” Iris at his beside asked as she saw his dazed face and trembling hands.
Lucian didn’t reply.
The cultivation world he knew was merely a fragment of something far greater!
A broken realm?!
Incomplete Heavenly Laws!?
An Immortal Treasure!!
Separated from the true Immortal World!?
“Lucian!” Iris shook his shoulder, her beautiful face full of worry.
He finally snapped out of his daze and looked at her, his expression still filled with shock.
“I’m fine, just experiencing some backlash in my cultivation. That old bastard must have damaged my meridians when he extracted my Essence Blood,” Lucian said, trying to steady his breathing.
“Damm that asshole… Wait, let me see if there’s any Heavenly treasure inside Qi Ye’s Space Ring!” Eris quickly began searching again.
Lucian merely nodded, his mind still stunned from what the System had revealed.
It took nearly half an incense stick of time for him to compose himself while sounds of approaching cultivators grew louder outside.
Then he asked, “H-how can I get out of this broken realm? And if I use the Immortal Embryo of Netherworld Demon Emperor to create my own, won’t I be entangling myself in his karma!?”
These two questions were now roaring through his mind like a primordial beast.

[Yuan Central Continent]
[As for Netherworld Demon Emperor’s Karma, the Host is already deeply entangled the moment the Host started comprehending the Law(Authority) of Sound]
—
Reading the System’s replies, his mind was thrown into chaos!
After that whatever he asked, the System didn’t reply.
So he had no choice but to give up after several attempts.
He sighed deeply, rubbing his temples as he tried to process everything.
“Here, refine this Moonjade Peach. It should calm your chaotic Spiritual Energy and heal your meridians,” Eris suddenly spoke.
Lucian smiled gently and took the fist-sized red peach. As soon as he bit into it, sweet juice filled his mouth as a warm Spiritual Energy spread throughout his body.
