I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 180 An Unexpected Fate, Lovers Reunited
Lai Yang stepped into the spatial teleportation array leading to the Vast Immortal Realm, and a spherical force protected his body, automatically and rapidly traversing through space.

During this time, Lai Yang glanced at the outside of the teleportation array and saw countless star planes appear before his eyes.

Some resemble a blade of grass, a leaf, a lotus flower, an animal, a stone, a sword, a fist, and all sorts of other shapes and sizes.

Lai Yang even occasionally saw figures larger than the stars themselves traversing the endless galaxy. Every move they made carried a world-destroying power and exuded an extremely dangerous aura, making people tremble with fear.

Upon seeing this, Lai Yang was surprised and murmured, "So many demonic beasts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level are hidden among the starry planes. The Immortal Realm is truly dangerous."

"Huh? There's a person standing on that monster's back?"

"If I have the chance, I might catch a few monsters to keep as pets. They can be used for transportation, and they look pretty good."

Lai Yang's eyes gleamed, his mind racing with a myriad of thoughts.

A moment later, Lai Yang was startled to see that the spatial teleportation array leading to the Vast Ocean Immortal Realm had been cut off.

"Holy crap? What happened? Why is the passage closed?"

Lai Yang instinctively wanted to return to the Xuanming Realm and make other plans.

However, at that moment, a huge commotion came from the depths of the ancient starry road, as if a powerful creature was engaged in a great battle.

The aftershocks of their battle spread endlessly, stirring up a terrifying storm across the starry plane and instantly creating numerous spatial rifts.

Within those spatial rifts, the power of space was extremely chaotic, and the consequences of being caught in them would be unimaginable.

Even a True Immortal Realm expert would be instantly annihilated by the spatial turbulence, their soul obliterated.

"Why am I so unlucky? Did I forget to check the almanac before I went out?" Lai Yang said, feeling frustrated.

Lai Yang's teleportation channel was not far from the battlefield, and the impact was very obvious, causing violent fluctuations throughout the entire teleportation space.

It's unclear whether it's due to years of neglect and lack of maintenance, but the spatial teleportation channel appears quite fragile.

It shook violently from the lingering effects of the battle, and then became very unstable.

As the cracking sounds of space shattering rang out, more and more spatial rifts appeared before Lai Yang.

The powerful suction generated during the self-repair of the spatial rift tore at Lai Yang's body, and the spatial passage was broken.

Now, with this unfortunate incident, Lai Yang is caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a shattered star hurtled straight down from the void toward Lai Yang.

Seeing this, Lai Yang had no choice but to forcibly break free from the power of the spatial teleportation array and escape the spatial teleportation trajectory.

With a loud bang, when Lai Yang turned around, the spatial teleportation channel connecting the Xuanming Realm to the Hanhai Immortal Realm had completely disappeared.

Lai Yang sighed, rubbing his forehead. This was truly an inauspicious start.

However, Lai Yang could understand it. After all, the Xuanming Realm had been ruled by the insectoid race for ten thousand years, so it was normal for the teleportation array to malfunction due to lack of maintenance.

He simply didn't know where the Vast Ocean Immortal Realm was. Now, amidst the endless starry sky, he was completely disoriented.

Should I go back to the Xuanming Realm? I just came out and I'm already feeling dejected. I didn't even get a single spiritual vein. I still feel a bit uneasy.

Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Just then, the sounds of battle echoed from the depths of the ancient starry road, and Lai Yang subconsciously turned his head to look.

"Right, isn't there someone right here to ask for directions? Besides, these two guys were fighting here and almost got me caught in a spatial rift. It wouldn't be right not to give them some compensation, would it?"

With this in mind, Lai Yang resolutely headed to the battlefield deep within the ancient starry road.

Before long, Lai Yang was able to see what the two combatants looked like.

On one side was a giant whose body was covered in magma and burning with terrifying flames. The giant was formed by the power of the law of fire, and even the surrounding space was burned and distorted, showing signs of being extremely powerful.

On one side was a woman with black hair and blood-red eyes, exuding overwhelming demonic power. Powerful laws flowed and permeated around her, and the aura of her cultivation level was in no way inferior to that of the terrifying fire giant opposite her.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged hundreds of blows, their power of fire and devouring colliding one after another. The space around them was constantly cracking and repairing itself, and countless stars were annihilated by their power, a truly terrifying sight.

Watching the two fighting, Lai Yang's expression faltered for a moment, and his eyes widened slightly.

It was as if he had witnessed something that deeply moved and shocked him.

In an instant, countless long-buried memories flew out uncontrollably from Lai Yang's mind, filling his heart.

At this moment, he could hardly believe his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Although she looked very different from how he remembered her, Lai Yang recognized her at a glance.

Overwhelmed with surprise, Lai Yang let slip a trace of his presence.

Sensing the presence of other creatures nearby, the fire giant and the blood-eyed woman briefly clashed before separating, both becoming wary.

The two instinctively turned to look at where Lai Yang was.

When their eyes met, the woman with blood-red eyes was startled, and the powerful law energy flowing around her seemed to pause for a moment.

Those cold, beautiful eyes seemed to have seen something unbelievable; the murderous intent around her subsided somewhat, replaced by a touch of gentleness and complexity.

"No, impossible, how could he be here? Is it really him?" The blood-eyed woman's delicate body trembled slightly.

Upon seeing this, Feng Honglian's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.

What's going on? Who is this man in front of her? Why is she acting like this when she sees him?

In her memory, this was the first time she had ever seen the other person act so strangely and out of control.

It seemed like excitement, yet also like unease and fear.

Seeing Lai Yang flying towards them, the woman with blood-red eyes became noticeably flustered, her expression tense and uneasy.

"Ruyan, you must be Ruyan."

Although Lai Yang appeared to be asking a question, he was speaking with certainty.

Mo Ruyan's delicate body trembled. Seeing that familiar person, hearing that familiar voice, and hearing that familiar name being called, she finally couldn't hold back any longer.

In an instant, a tear glistened in those blood-red, piercing eyes, and she softly called out, "Lai Yang, is that you?"

Lai Yang nodded, his eyes revealing an indescribable complexity, his heart filled with mixed feelings, and he had many questions he wanted to ask her.

When he left the Mo Wu Dynasty, he couldn't find Mo Ruyan anywhere and thought she had passed away.

Who would have thought that she would arrive in the Immortal Realm ahead of schedule, and that the two had only been separated for a few hundred years, yet she had already broken through to the legendary Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

Even though Lai Yang had spent thousands of years hiding inside the Xuanming Tower to reach his current level and strength, he was still only stronger than Mo Ruyan in terms of physical body and spirit; his immortal power was far inferior to hers.

What is your relationship with this witch?

Even if Feng Honglian was slow-witted, she could tell that the relationship between the two was unusual, and immediately questioned them.

"She is my Taoist partner."

Seeing this, Lai Yang turned his head to look at the terrifying fire giant in the distance, and spoke firmly and calmly.

"Daoist partner, when did you find a Daoist partner?"

Feng Honglian was asking Mo Ruyan these questions.

Faced with Feng Honglian's questioning, Mo Ruyan's expression turned slightly cold. She was clearly not as easy to talk to as Lai Yang, and said, "What's it to you?"

"Hmph, a witch like you actually has a Daoist partner, and someone even dares to form a Daoist partnership with you. It seems this person is no good either. You will both perish under my flames."

After being rebuked by Mo Ruyan, Feng Honglian's flame laws became even more turbulent and terrifying. She raised her hand and condensed a huge fireball as amazing as the sun, which crashed down on Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan.

"Step back, let me handle this."

Seeing this, Mo Ruyan's pretty face remained unchanged. She raised her hand and used the Devouring Law to summon a black hole to frantically extract the Flame Law power from the Devouring Phoenix Red Lotus. The two forces canceled each other out.

The next moment, due to Lai Yang's sudden appearance, Mo Ruyan was unwilling to get entangled with the person in front of her any longer. She immediately released a powerful magic spell to temporarily hold off Feng Honglian, and then placed one hand on Lai Yang's shoulder, taking him away.

When Feng Honglian came to her senses, she was slightly taken aback and said unwillingly, "Damn it, they got away."

"Speaking of which, who exactly is that man? Could he really be Mo Ruyan's Daoist partner? But in all these years, we've never heard of Mo Ruyan having a Daoist partner, and their relationship doesn't seem to be that of an ordinary Daoist partner. It seems we must thoroughly investigate this matter again when we get back, as well as the identity of that man."

Feng Honglian did not appear too frustrated. She had fought Mo Ruyan many times, but each time neither of them could gain the upper hand.

Although Mo Ruyan escaped with her people this time, there will always be a chance to meet them again next time. The most important thing now is to find out the identity of the human Golden Immortal who suddenly appeared, which may become a breakthrough for her to deal with Mo Ruyan.

On the other side, Mo Ruyan activated the power of the laws and led Lai Yang to escape from billions of miles of starry sky.

Mo Ruyan only stopped slowly when she realized that Feng Honglian's aura was no longer following. From beginning to end, Mo Ruyan used her immortal power to protect Lai Yang's body, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the tearing of the spatial power.

However, if she knew that Lai Yang's physical body had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, she would understand that her worries were unnecessary.

"Lai Yang, are you alright?" Mo Ruyan looked at Lai Yang, her beautiful face filled with concern, but the words that came out of her mouth were slightly stiff.

You can't really blame her. Ever since she left the Mo Wu Dynasty and ended up in that godforsaken place, she hasn't uttered a single word of concern to anyone for hundreds of years.

Lai Yang's sudden appearance surprised her and made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hmm, I'm fine. Do you have a grudge against that person? What's going on between you two?" Lai Yang nodded gently, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness as he asked softly.

"It's nothing, you don't need to worry about these things. I can handle it myself. I'm not the same person I used to be."

Mo Ruyan's voice carried a hint of domineering confidence, a significant change from her previous demeanor.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't say anything more. You can handle it yourself," Lai Yang nodded.

"Speaking of which, how did you end up here? You've broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, and you look exactly the same as before," Mo Ruyan asked, puzzled and surprised.

"Hehe, really? That's normal. You're no different from before. I recognized you at a glance." Lai Yang smiled slightly.

"Is it no different from before...?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruyan's expression trembled slightly, and a flood of memories seemed to well up in the depths of her eyes, making them quite complex and profound, and unfathomable.

"You're just trying to make me happy again. I've changed a lot since I was in the Mo Wu Dynasty," Mo Ruyan said in a deep voice.

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "In my eyes, we're all pretty much the same; you are you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruyan felt a touch of emotion.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else. I have a lot to tell you."

"Yes, I also have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Mo Ruyan then led the way, with Lai Yang silently following behind her.

The two traversed the endless void and entered a forbidden zone of life within a vast world.

Lai Yang could sense that the forbidden zone of life was filled with many dangerous auras, including terrifying beings at the Great Luo and Quasi-Saint realms.

However, Mo Ruyan showed no nervousness upon returning here. Instead, she acted as if she were at home, leading Lai Yang through the area with ease.

Finally, Mo Ruyan led Lai Yang into the little world she had created.

The moment Lai Yang entered the small world, he couldn't help but freeze in surprise.

Because everything in front of him was so familiar.

The building is quaint and elegant, the courtyard is filled with flowers, and several colorful koi carp sway in the clear pond.

After crossing the small stone bridge, you will find a pavilion for resting. Lotus flowers are in full bloom, and next to it is the place where Lai Yang often practices swordsmanship. Even the layout is exactly the same.

This place is exactly the same as their home in the Mowu Dynasty.

Only by returning here could Mo Ruyan find some peace and tranquility; she had never forgotten Lai Yang.

However, when she wanted to go back, she found that she couldn't find her way back.

She tried many methods, but failed to find a way to return to the Immortal Continent.

If she can't go back, what's the point of cultivating to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and having a near-infinite lifespan?
During that period, Mo Ruyan killed many people and offended countless forces in the immortal realm.

Immortals, demons, Buddhas, and monsters all dislike her.

Because she cultivates the law of devouring, some people who fear her have started calling her the Devouring Witch at some point.

During this time, Feng Honglian suffered many losses at her hands, and the two became enemies. They would fight each other almost every time they met.

Mo Ruyan thought she would never see the person she missed again in this life, but she never expected that the other person would suddenly appear in front of her.

For this reason, she even felt that she should thank Feng Honglian. If it weren't for Feng Honglian pestering her, how could she have attracted Lai Yang to come and meet her?

"Please sit wherever you like, I'll make you a cup of tea."
