Chapter 761: Chapter 440 Unknown Territory
An hour ago, the time-space fluctuations of the Seven Star Spirit Realm had become extremely intense, nearly reaching their peak.
Following the old rules, Zhao Sheng instructed the four Yamas to guard the four directions of the spiritual realm, waiting to capture the Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence, while he himself ascended to the dome, quietly awaiting space-time teleportation.
“Ten, nine, eight…”
As time passed, the void around him gradually began to ripple with invisible “ripples,” as Zhao Sheng silently counted down in his heart.
By the time he reached the number one, his vision blurred, and upon focusing again, the void around him had undergone a drastic transformation.
Zhao Sheng’s pupils couldn’t help but contract, as the void took on an unfamiliar form; everywhere he looked, it was dark and chaotic, as if he had returned to the unknowable darkness before the universe had formed, with even greater depths of darkness beyond the chaos.
“Where is this place?” exclaimed Zhao Sheng in shock.
But before his thought could settle, he heard a sudden crack, and a thunderous noise abruptly burst forth from above his Soul Sea.
Boom!
From within the chaotic fog ahead, a radiant, limitless tide of light that spanned the void swept towards him, causing the void to twist as though the sky and earth were crumbling, with unimaginable time-space fluctuations rolling out in all directions.
In an instant, the void was torn open with inestimable “black” beams of light.
They were space rifts, with black beams crazily spreading outward, simultaneously swallowing everything around them at the speed of light.
“This is bad!”
Seeing countless space rifts consuming everything and rapidly spreading to envelop the surrounding void, Zhao Sheng had a bad premonition and instinctively activated his life-saving Divine Skill Phase Shifting.
As his body became as void, he suddenly remembered something and instantly regretted it.
The space-time fluctuated, and in the next moment, Zhao Sheng stumbled out of the void,
Feeling no unusual sensation in his body, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when he clearly saw the chaotic and obscure surroundings, Zhao Sheng’s heart clenched and his body immediately burst out in a vast expanse of golden light, while a hundred-zhang wide sea of golden fire abruptly materialized out of thin air, which was the manifestation of his Nascent Soul Domain.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred!
The previously still and silent chaos of the void suddenly began to surge and boil, an infinite darkness rising from below as if to swallow everything.
At the same time, from Zhao Sheng’s “perspective” of Divine Thought, he saw a terrifying scene: a vast and unparalleled space-time vortex suddenly condensed out of the darkness below, emitting an immense pressure so overwhelming that it left Zhao Sheng stiff and unable to move.
Having witnessed this sight, Zhao Sheng’s face turned pale; he recognized this oppressive force originating from the Nine Nether Void Realm, having felt it personally when he trespassed into the Otherworld in his previous life.
The space-time storm was incredibly fast, not giving him any chance to escape.
An unimaginable suction force emanated from the vortex, his body completely immobilized, and even his Mana was locked in place, unable to circulate in the slightest.
In just an instant, Zhao Sheng was like a stone, plummeting into the depths of the space-time vortex.
Within the depths of the vortex, faint strands of golden light began to emerge, then rapidly expanded, but in a flash, the vortex vanished without a trace.
Zhao Sheng felt as if he had plunged into tumultuous raging waves, the darkness enfolding him, his Divine Thought suppressed and unable to leave his body.
At the same time, forces that could shatter space-time surged from all directions, with a destructive power that he couldn’t possibly contend with.
In just a few breaths, Zhao Sheng endured countless rendings by the power of space-time, his body soon covered in wounds, his Magic Domain cut to pieces, nearly collapsing.
After a dizzying whirl, he completely lost consciousness.
He didn’t know how long it was before he finally woke up from a burst of intense pain and shook his somewhat swollen head. Looking around, he found himself lying on the ground.
This place seemed to be a tremendously large pillar reaching to the heavens, with no end in sight, approximately a hundred zhang in diameter. Its surface was dark gold, covered in layer upon layer of dark gold scales, dense and hard, big as a palm, stretching far beyond his field of vision.
A thousand zhang away from the Dark Gold Giant Pillar, there was only a chaotic and obscure landscape, with space-time storms whirling and howling around, but they never encroached within a thousand-zhang radius of the pillar, as if stopped by an invisible barrier.
“Where is this?” Zhao Sheng murmured as he activated his Mana, and stood up.
At this moment, all the wounds on his body were healing at a visibly rapid speed.
The Spiritual Energy on the Dark Gold Giant Pillar was extremely rich, several times denser than that of the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
Zhao Sheng internally examined his Divine Thought and found that his body was unharmed, his Core Energy Sea and Nascent Soul intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the eerie and terrifying surroundings, he felt an uncharacteristic trepidation.
But soon, Zhao Sheng silently recited the One Element Initial Technique and immediately became completely calm.
In addition to the rich Spiritual Energy, there was also an unknown force in this place.
Under the influence of this force, his Divine Thought was greatly suppressed, only able to extend less than a hundred zhang.
Moved by a thought, Zhao Sheng flicked his fingertips and a golden Sword Light shot out, striking the dark gold ground.
“Eh!” exclaimed Zhao Sheng in surprise.
The Sword Light collapsed, but the ground remained unscathed, showing not even the slightest mark.
“Go!”
As the words dropped, a three-inch-long Jade White Flying Sword, trailing a long tail of light and with the force to shatter mountains, instantly struck the ground once more.
Bang, bang!
The flying sword was sent reeling backward by a massive impact, while the ground merely flashed with a layer of golden light, which flickered out almost instantly, leaving the ground once again perfectly intact, not even a gold scale broken.
