Chapter 19:INFERNAL INCOUNTER
Later on, Sheng Feng manifests a vast expanse of countless houses, forming an enormous sanctuary, and grants them to the beings rescued by the sect. Within one of those rooms, Sheng Yue sits alone—silent, sorrowful, and heavy-hearted. In the depths of her thoughts, she whispers, Hao Chen… I miss you so much… so much. I hope that someday… we will meet again.
Outside, beneath the open sky, Sheng Feng, Tianli, and Chen Mo stand together in discussion. Sheng Feng speaks with quiet determination, "I must find Hao Chen immediately. Yuer is suffering… and I cannot ignore it."
Chen Mo responds calmly, his tone steady, "Do not worry, Leader Feng. Fate will bring Hao Chen back to us."
Sheng Feng turns his gaze toward him and nods slowly. "Ahm."
Elder Tianli steps forward respectfully, yet firmly. "Leader Feng, you should not waste your efforts on that traitor."
At once, Sheng Feng's expression darkens. His gaze sharpens like a blade, filled with suppressed fury. Tianli instantly lowers his head, fear gripping his heart under that overwhelming presence.
At that moment, Wei Lan arrives. Her voice is gentle yet authoritative. "Be at ease, Elder Tianli."
Tianli and Chen Mo bow respectfully. "Greetings, Madam Wei Lan."
She nods lightly and continues, "We should begin exploring and understanding this world. Only then can we grasp the nature of this planet."
Tianli nods in agreement.
Sheng Feng turns his back to them as the wind flows around him, his presence calm yet imposing. "No… not yet. We should not explore for now. This planet is unknown to us."
He pauses, then continues, his voice echoing with quiet authority, "This… is our new home world. I do not know whether Wuji Xing has already been destroyed by those mysterious enemies. Although we escaped… survival does not mean safety. We must remain cautious in all things."
Tianli and Chen Mo respond in unison, "Yes, Leader Feng."
Sheng Feng continues, "I used my Dimension Redirection technique to bring us here… a random location. I acted in haste. I do not even know how far we have traveled—whether within our world… or beyond it… perhaps even in another universe."
He turns, placing a reassuring hand on Chen Mo's shoulder. "Do not worry. We will find a way… to resolve everything."
A faint smile appears on his face as his eyes meet Tianli's, softening the earlier tension.

Ten days later…
Miezu Xuan, Hei Meng, and Qing Tian—alongside the elders of the Miezu Clan, Hei Clan, Qing Clan, and Mang Clan—stand upon a distant world known as Orvhane, far beyond Miezu Shen Planet. With them is the puppet vessel that houses Hao Chen, now having reached the Dao Comprehension Advanced Stage, second stage of Dao Comprehension.
This planet is rich with opportunity—and danger. Legends spoke of golden relics and divine artifacts hidden within its lands. Thus, they hunt beasts and scour the terrain, driven by both ambition and purpose.
Soon, a member of the Miezu Clan discovers a golden spear. "Young Master, I have found one!"
He presents it to Miezu Xuan.
"Good," Miezu Xuan replies, his voice carrying authority. "Continue. You will all be rewarded."
One by one, treasures are uncovered—golden items gathered and delivered to Hei Li, father of Hei Meng, and to the Mang Clan elders.
Suddenly, a Qing Clan elder rushes forward, holding a radiant weapon. "Patriarch! I have found a divine sword!"
Qing Jue, father of Qing Tian, receives it with a satisfied expression. "Well done, Elder."
"Thank you, Leader," the elder replies humbly.
"Rest now. Your reward will come."
Earlier, before departing Miezu Shen Planet, Miezu Shen had entrusted them with a jade. "If danger arises… crush this. I will arrive instantly."
Miezu Xuan bowed deeply. "Thank you, Grandpa."
With a warm smile, Miezu Shen granted him authority over the puppet containing Hao Chen.
Back to the present—
Miezu Sha flicks his finger—a silent command. Instantly, all prepare to depart.
"It is better to be cautious than greedy," he says.
They nod.
Then—
A terrifying aura descends.
An invisible force slams them to the ground, their bodies trembling as blood escapes their lips. Before them stands Zurnhok—a quasi-immortal of the Fire Ork race, at Half-Step Immortal stage. Behind him stand ten Dao Fusion Fire Orks and fifteen Nirvana Shatter Fire Orks.
His voice crashes like thunder. "Weak beings… dare to trespass upon our Territory?"
The Fire Orks erupt into savage laughter as the clans struggle helplessly.
Without hesitation, Miezu Sha shatters the jade.
A surge of overwhelming power floods the battlefield.
From the void, Miezu Shen's voice resounds, filled with cold fury. "An ugly being dares harm those beneath Him? Shameful."
Then, with chilling intent—"Seeking death?"
Gravity itself bends to his will. The Fire Orks are crushed, unable to move, coughing out green blood.
But Zurnhok merely flicks his finger—and the gravity shatters instantly.
Miezu Shen turns calmly. "Are you all unharmed?"
"Yes, Elder Shen," they reply.
"What do you want?" Miezu Shen asks.
Though their languages differ, all understand—bound by cultivation.
Zurnhok grins. "Everything you have collected… and most importantly… that divine sword."
All eyes shift to Qing Jue.
"We found it first," Qing Jue declares. "How dare you try to take it?"
Zurnhok laughs. "What we desire… we take."
The Fire Orks roar in agreement.
Miezu Shen's expression hardens. "Ugly monster… you dare act as a supreme? Let me remind you—we have never known fear."
With a single motion, he tears open the void. A portal appears.
"Grandchildren—return to my planet. All below Nirvana, enter now."
"Grandpa… I will go," Miezu Xuan says.
Miezu Shen nods.
One by one, they retreat—Miezu, Hei, Qing, and Mang clans—leaving behind Miezu Shen, Miezu Sha, the Dao Fusion elders, and the puppet vessel of Hao Chen.
Silence falls.
Then—
Zurnhok smirks. "Really? Then let us end this… old pig."
"Prepare yourselves," Miezu Shen commands.
In an instant, he vanishes—reappearing before Zurnhok, dragging him into the Hall of Broken Domain.
Outside, battle erupts.
Zurnhok bends time itself, summoning a blazing red-blue fire domain. Miezu Shen responds in kind. With a single thought, both unleash their 10th-level Infinite Origin Domains—colliding, merging—forming a single, catastrophic dark infernal domain.
"Come," Zurnhok growls. "Let me experience… the combat of a Half-Step Immortal."
They move.
Faster than thought.
Their fists collide—shattering space. Their kicks tear through the very fabric of their domain. Every strike distorts the very reality of the Domain.
This battle…
Outside the Xyro Universe—
Outside of Everything within the Xyro Universe.
