Darkness, howling wind, bone-piercing cold.
Fine flying sand rattled against the mighty armor. She used the dragon spear as a Magic Staff for light, barely gleaning a thread of comfort. Leaning forward, she trudged on with difficulty, intending to find shelter from the wind and rest for the night.
"If not for the lack of death energy, I'd think I'd reached the underworld's purgatory."
The armored visor effectively kept out the windblown sand and dust. Her red eyes swept the surroundings vigilantly. With endless monsters lurking in the black clouds overhead, who knew whether the ground was safe?
"A dry, exhausted, dead world..."
Bai Yujun repeatedly tried to call upon the World Will.
Yet there was no response—not even the faintest, weakest trace. Nor could she sense how vast this desolate world truly was. Without the World Will's protection, she felt utterly unsafe.
There was no energy of any kind. Spiritual qi was depleted; even Yin Energy and death energy were absent.
In short, it was a strange world. That included the dense, inexplicable monsters in the mysterious space within the black clouds overhead. Only dragon qi, lightning, and blazing fire could effectively restrain them. They were bizarre beyond measure. With no energy to replenish herself, Bai Yujun had no choice but to reduce her expenditure and explore slowly on foot. In any case, even flying would not let her see the ground clearly.
The cold night was long and agonizing. The dragon spear's blade gave off light, illuminating only a tiny area...
Thermal infrared scans showed no abnormalities.
Vibration detection could sense only the wind, with no other tremors.
Had there not still been air, Bai Yujun would have thought herself on some barren planet. By now, she had gradually begun to wonder whether life had ever existed here.
