Along the way, Zhuowen saw countless planets that had become barren and lifeless. He also saw groups of Black Smoke Tribe members.When these Black Smoke Tribe members saw Zhuowen, they roared and surrounded him. Unfortunately, Zhuowen was too fast. These Black Smoke Tribe members simply couldn't catch up with Zhuowen.As he got closer to the Pill Furnace Star Zone, Zhuowen's gaze turned grave. Everywhere he passed, he saw barren ruins and Black Smoke Tribe members. There wasn't even a single human cultivator.It was as if Zhuowen was passing through a dead zone.Zhuowen felt a little guilty when he thought about the Six Desires Heavenly Domain's past and compared it to the current state. He knew that he was largely responsible for the Six Desires Heavenly Domain becoming a dead zone.If it hadn't been for him, Palace Master Wujue wouldn't have joined forces with the other Lords of the Heavenly Domains to destroy the Door of Profundity and unlock the seal on the Eldritch Heavenly Domain.Furthermore, from Blood Scale's words, he could tell that this was only the beginning.The Black Smoke Tribe was only a relatively low-level tribe in the Eldritch Heavenly Domain. If the true masters of the Eldritch Heavenly Domain entered the eight heavenly domains, it would be useless even if the Six Desires Heavenly Domain was completely sealed.Such a seal would be a joke in the eyes of the true masters.Zhuowen's gaze turned completely gloomy when he arrived at the Pill Furnace Star Zone.At this moment, the huge Pill Furnace Star Zone was actually covered in darkness. The unique, resplendent beauty of the star zone was nowhere to be seen.At this moment, the Pill Furnace Star Field no longer had the image of a beautiful star field. Looking from a distance, it looked like a mass of irregular black clouds. Zhuo Wen couldn't even see a single star in this black cloud.Most of the stars here were dim and lifeless.Zhuowen's gaze landed on the Pill Tower in the center of the star zone. However, he realized that the central area was even more pitch-black. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see if the Pill Tower still existed."Is this star region your destination?" Blood Scale asked in a low voice.Zhuowen nodded. Then, he looked at the black clouds that covered the surface of the star field and said, "Could these be …""Yes!All of them are from the Black Smoke Clan, and all of them are quite powerful. Furthermore, I have discovered that there may be other Black Smoke Clan experts in the depths of this star region, "Blood Scale said solemnly."Could it be a Dao Confirming expert?" Zhuowen asked.Blood Scale sneered and said, "The Black Smoke Race is just a low-level race in the Great Desolate Heaven Realm after all. Do you think it is possible for them to have a Dao Validation expert?According to my knowledge, the Patriarch of the Black Smoke Clan is only a half-step Heaven Dao Lord, and there's still quite a distance between him and a true Heaven Dao Lord. ""A mere star region like this shouldn't be enough for the Patriarch of the Black Smoke Clan to occupy. However, I can sense the auras of Black Smoke Clan experts in the Life and Death Extremities. After all, my strength hasn't recovered yet. With so many Black Smoke Clan experts and Life and Death Extremities experts, they should be enough to stall us."Blood Scale didn't say it explicitly, but Zhuowen could hear the hidden meaning in Blood Scale's words. It was extremely unwise for the two of them to barge into the Pill Furnace Star Region.Zhuo Wen fell silent. He shook his head and said, "I have to enter this star field. My friend is still in this star field. I want to see if my friend is still alive."Blood Scale said decisively, "You don't need to think about it. Your friends are dead for sure. With so many Black Smoke Clan experts, this star region has already become a dead zone. I think you are a smart person, so you should know this."Zhuowen calmly looked at Blood Scale and said, "Yes, I do know this. However, I also know that if I don't go in and see for myself, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I still choose to go in."Blood Scale opened his mouth and looked at Zhuowen in disbelief. He didn't think that this guy would still choose to go in despite knowing the danger. If this wasn't courting death, then what was?"According to the contract, you need to protect my safety. Come with me!"Zhuo Wen's next words immediately caused Xue Lin's face to turn completely gloomy. He felt extremely helpless in his heart.Although he had asked Zhuowen to treat him as an equal, he had still been Zhuowen's servant for the past thousand years. How could he abandon his master's servant?If he dared to go against Zhuowen's words, he would suffer a terrible backlash from the contract."What are you doing?"Suddenly, Zhuowen realized that Blood Scale had unknowingly taken out wisps of black smoke and used them to cover his body."Aren't you courting death if you charge in recklessly?Of course, you have to disguise yourself. "Blood Scale glared and waved his sleeve. He immediately took out a large ball of black smoke and handed it to Zhuowen.Zhuowen looked at the black smoke floating in front of him and his eyelids twitched. Wasn't this black smoke the corpses of the Black Smoke Clan members he had killed on his way here?He didn't think that Blood Scale would collect the corpses of the Black Smoke Clan members.Speaking of which, the Black Smoke Clan was really strange. Except for the pair of scarlet eyes, the rest of their bodies looked like intangible black smoke. If Zhuowen didn't know the identity of the Black Smoke Clan members, he would have thought that they were just ordinary black smoke."Your clone is Devour King. Use Devour King's devouring power to swallow the black smoke on the corpses of the Black Smoke Clan members and transform it into your body. Our Devouring Clan's most gifted talent is devouring. Then, we have Imitation. This is something the other clans don't have and can't imitate," Blood Scale said proudly.Zhuowen looked at Blood Scale, who had completely transformed into a member of the Black Smoke Clan. His eyes twinkled as he realized that he couldn't see the difference between Blood Scale and the other members of the Black Smoke Clan.Moreover, even if he used his Soul Consciousness to check, he couldn't find the essence of Blood Scale. The Blood Scale in front of him was completely a member of the Black Smoke Clan."You probably don't know this technique. I will teach you now. Most members of the Devouring Clan know this technique. However, I am Devour King, so my imitation ability is stronger than the other members of the Devouring Clan. You are no exception."Blood Scale seemed to remember that Zhuowen's clone was a wandering member of the Devouring Clan. He quickly used his Soul Consciousness to teach Zhuowen the imitation technique.After receiving Blood Scale's Soul Consciousness, Zhuowen summoned the black-clothed Zhuowen. He put his real body into the clone's internal world and used the devouring power to devour the Black Smoke Clan members in front of him. Then, he imitated the aura and appearance of the Black Smoke Clan members.A short while later, strands of strange black smoke spread out from all of Zhuo Wen's acupuncture points. Instantly, Zhuo Wen was enveloped by the black smoke, turning into a shapeless Black Smoke Clan member."Remember, the Black Smoke Clan members can't talk. They can only communicate with Soul Consciousness!If other members of the Black Smoke Clan send you Soul Consciousness, you must not expose yourself. You can use Soul Consciousness to communicate with them, "Blood Scale sent a message to Zhuowen.

Along the way, Zhuowen saw countless planets that had become barren and lifeless. He also saw groups of Black Smoke Tribe members.

When these Black Smoke Tribe members saw Zhuowen, they roared and surrounded him. Unfortunately, Zhuowen was too fast. These Black Smoke Tribe members simply couldn't catch up with Zhuowen.

As he got closer to the Pill Furnace Star Zone, Zhuowen's gaze turned grave. Everywhere he passed, he saw barren ruins and Black Smoke Tribe members. There wasn't even a single human cultivator.

It was as if Zhuowen was passing through a dead zone.

Zhuowen felt a little guilty when he thought about the Six Desires Heavenly Domain's past and compared it to the current state. He knew that he was largely responsible for the Six Desires Heavenly Domain becoming a dead zone.

If it hadn't been for him, Palace Master Wujue wouldn't have joined forces with the other Lords of the Heavenly Domains to destroy the Door of Profundity and unlock the seal on the Eldritch Heavenly Domain.

Furthermore, from Blood Scale's words, he could tell that this was only the beginning.

The Black Smoke Tribe was only a relatively low-level tribe in the Eldritch Heavenly Domain. If the true masters of the Eldritch Heavenly Domain entered the eight heavenly domains, it would be useless even if the Six Desires Heavenly Domain was completely sealed.

Such a seal would be a joke in the eyes of the true masters.

Zhuowen's gaze turned completely gloomy when he arrived at the Pill Furnace Star Zone.

"Yes!
