A common Heavenly Monarch felt an overwhelming unease, whereas those Three-step Heaven Monarchs swiftly entered the True Spirit Realm, and in the distance, "looked" in that direction.
When they "saw" two colossal beings engaged in combat, they first felt a sense of discrepancy, and then hurriedly retreated from the True Spirit Realm, fearing discovery by these monsters.
The Lingxiao Palace Master had said, there are great dangers within the True Spirit Realm, and it should not be easily observed.
The Three-step Heaven Monarchs who exited the True Spirit Realm were apprehensive about the massive Spirit Realm Lives traversing the area, and felt somewhat puzzled.
"Spirit Realm Lives... actually fighting each other?"
Unfortunately, these Three-step Heaven Monarchs knew too little about the True Spirit Realm. Though curious about this bizarre development among Spirit Realm Lives, they did not ponder deeply.
After all, the thousand-meter-sized Spirit Realm Lives are too terrifying and too distant from them.
Just like cultivators in the Refining God Realm watching True Immortals battle, one careless ripple could tear them to shreds.
Out of caution, this battle aroused curiosity from only a small number of Heavenly Monarchs, and did not cause a large stir.
And this fight, almost the first since the birth of beings within the True Spirit Realm, ended as a one-sided attack, with the other side passively evading, and finally being completely swallowed up.
Upon devouring the Spirit Realm Life roaming here, the bulk of this Spirit Realm Life significantly increased in size.
Yet he was evidently unaware of this, still roaming this region.
Indeed, he wasn’t even sure why he attacked the Spirit Realm Life that invaded this area.
That someone had done this in the past.
Thus, he followed suit.
Seeing Spirit Realm Lives enter this area, he launched an attack.
To be more glorious and greater than his predecessors!
This colossal being of a thousand meters, with emotions so faint they were almost negligible, suddenly became significantly stronger.
Yes, he must do better.
Ripping apart, devouring the Spirit Realm Lives entering this area is not enough, he must...
Eliminate all Spirit Realm Lives.
Realizing this, the spiritual fluctuations symbolizing emotion and thought grew even stronger.
And his massive body, visibly enlarged, roamed about and suddenly headed towards the depths of the Spirit Realm.
There were stronger Spirit Realm Lives there.
There exists an ultimate end to everything.
At that moment, perhaps, he would find his true self.
Understanding the meaning of his existence.
Gu Jinlai’s figure was shrouded in spatial fluctuations, continuously traversing.
During the traversal, bits and pieces of the Immortal Cloud Realm kept flashing in his mind.
This was one of the worlds closest to the Xuanhuang Realm.
There exist tens of thousands of connecting pathways between the Xuanhuang Realm and it.
If the Human Emperor of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty genuinely went mad, wanting to forge an Immortal Cave Heaven using the surrounding Spiritual Mechanism Power, then the Immortal Cloud Realm might have already entered the End of Dharma Age, making the existence of immortals questionable.
Fortunately, the path he walked differed from Innate Sacred and traditional Immortal Cultivation, requiring little external Spiritual Mechanism, only needing to sustain the existence of the Great Dao within his body.
However, he brought along a full thousand of Spirit Crystals collected during this time from the Immortal Country, enough to maintain the operation of several Heavenly Daos within his body for ten to eight years effortlessly.
Maintaining a calm demeanor, Gu Jinlai continued traversing.
Just then, the space ahead seemed to become unstable.
This sudden change furrowed Gu Jinlai’s brows.
"Has Cangming played tricks?"
He quickly negated this possibility.
Because the source of spatial instability was not the spatial rift behind him, but ahead...
His destination, the Immortal Cloud Realm.
The space in the direction of the Immortal Cloud Realm seemed to be transmitting a strong force of distortion, as though there’s a Gravity Singularity unparalleled in strength. Even though Gu Jinlai was currently in the midst of spatial traversal, the surrounding space was still affected by this Gravity Singularity, causing a shift in his trajectory.
Intense spatial fluctuations washed away the ripples emitted from the Breaking Space Mirror, making the entire space increasingly unstable.
And more and more, he was being drawn to that Gravity Singularity.
He felt like a spaceship flying toward a black hole in the vast, dark cosmos.
Once swallowed by the black hole...
Everything, absolutely everything, would be pulverized into dust.
"Seems like problems occurred over at the Immortal Cloud Realm too. Could it be the Xuanhuang Realm destroyed the Immortal Cloud Realm, causing it to collapse and form a black hole, hence twisting the powerful gravitational force and space!?"
Gu Jinlai’s expression changed slightly.
But soon, he realized the situation wasn’t just about the Gravity Singularity being akin to a black hole.
The Heavenly Dao within him, along with the Spirit Crystal energy compressed from Spiritual Mechanism around him, were all veering off, as though some invisible force was trying to seize these energies, wanting to strip them forcefully to strengthen itself.
"Is it the Power of Dao!? Devouring Dao!?"
Gu Jinlai quickly realized this.
At this moment, spatial traversal seemed to be ending soon.
And the location where the traversal completed...
Had transformed from the previous Immortal Cloud Realm, to the direction of the Gravity Singularity created by the Devouring Dao.
Once he completed the traversal, he would plunge into the black hole, akin to a spaceship captured by it.
Gu Jinlai’s complexion changed, injecting powerful Divine Sense Ability into the Immortal Artifact, the Breaking Space Mirror in his hand.
However, given his low level of refining the Breaking Space Mirror, coupled with him not being a pure cultivator, relying entirely on Divine Sense Ability to drive this Immortal Artifact, although the Breaking Space Mirror was erupting with ripples, attempting to envelop his body to extricate him from this terrifying devouring force, his figure continued to fall towards the "gravity" formed by the Devouring Dao.
