Encounter in the Land of Nothingness

The meteorite was thick and huge, filling the dark sky. How easy would it be to break through it?

Wang Xuan stood in the crater, looking at it again and again, and muttered to himself, "If this is a normal meteorite, that's fine, but if it's even more 'thick' than my life-bound soil, then I'm really going to vomit blood."

He wielded the God Slaying Banner, increasing the speed of his primordial spirit's flight tenfold. Even while traversing the Life Land, it still felt like an astronomical journey.

Here, it would take him two or three years to advance even a few hundred meters.

If the two thicknesses are similar, he will really go black. How many years will it take to break through here?

"Should I bring in some people to mine for me?" he pondered, but after thinking it over, he dared not act recklessly, as this might not be compatible with the real universe.

If it's just a personal, Misty Land, trouble is likely to happen. If someone were to mess with his life-giving land, even a small action could cost him his life.

Wang Xuan was distracted. In the pit, he God Slaying Banner as a flying sword and the Iron Stake as a flying needle, throwing them out repeatedly, sparks flying everywhere.

This kind of monotonous practice and mining, if done year after year, can be unbearable.

"Go straight through the existing passage?" He left the pit he had dug and came to the outside, looking at the meteorite crater that looked like a volcano hanging upside down in the sky.

His emotions were surging like waves. Could he risk everything and make a desperate attempt to get through it?

The meteorite was cold and silent, with some parts being grayish. Near the entrance of the passage, it gradually transitioned to brown, and in the deeper parts, it turned pale purple, showing little sign of life.

Only that demonic flower, pure white and bright, appeared sacred no matter how you looked at it, embodying the true meaning of immortality.

Even on ordinary days, not during the most terrifying moment when the red glow surges, there is still Red Substance spreading here, and even real smoke particles are diffused.

Wang Xuan had tried before, wrapping himself in the God Slaying Banner, but as soon as he got close, the banner would burn and turn black, forcing him to flee in a sorry state.

"Try again." Now, he wore Silver Animal Hide as his first layer of inner armor, and the second layer was the God Slaying Banner, his most trusted shield.

The final layer was a Pale Gold Animal Hide with two holes, an old piece of leather that had once floated in the crimson glow, growing ever more vibrant with each passing flame; this time, he placed high hopes on it.

He wrapped his primordial spirit up like a rice dumpling, chose the right moment, and then began to fly across!

"Whether I break through the sky and arrive at a New World, or get a sudden blow and be taught a lesson I won't care about, here I come!"

Wang Xuan hardened his heart. As long as he didn't die, it wasn't a big deal. He had to take the risk and try. He really didn't have much time left.

In this era, even the most skilled masters are in a hurry, sending their avatars into the mortal realm. He has no reason to slack off.

Wang Zongzi transformed into a streak of light and rushed in with a whoosh, greeted by the faint red glow and the occasional falling red granular substances.

He let out a howl of pain. It hurt so much! He had only just come in when he felt his whole body burning hot, as if he had been set on fire.

For a fleeting moment, he thought of rolling around on the ground like the round-faced Little White Tiger to relieve stress, or simply lying flat and giving up. Why bother with all the trials? He could just go back to the mortal world and make do.

However, he was unwilling to give up. Due to his personality, he was not someone who would easily back down. He wanted to persevere to the end and give himself an explanation.

"Here it comes! Flag, shield, hold! You tattered hide, are you willing to rot away? Reborn from the ashes, don't disappoint me! Silver hide, resonate with the ghostly symbols, hold on!"

Wang Xuan was in unbearable pain, but he kept brainwashing himself and establishing a firm belief in himself, fighting his way into in the Deadly Peril that was unimaginable to outsiders!

"I am forging a new path, searching for a new mythical world, no less than creating the world from scratch. I am constantly facing great calamities. Immortals, Destiny Earth, Great Curtain, if you are able, please Extend Life!"

He charged forward at breakneck speed, his body like a shooting star streaking across the dark night sky, traversing the terrifying void passage as he surged upwards.

The stone walls of the meteorite passage are very rough, with surging red clouds. Although thin, the higher you go, the closer you get to the "real" scene, with more granular material appearing.

This kind of super-grade energy is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Even a slight touch is like a thunderbolt exploding, or a raging Heavenly Fire, which will burn and forge the primordial spirit.

Normally, any living creature venturing this far would be tantamount to suicide.

Wang Xuan was eroded by the Light Mist, his primordial spirit cracked, his vision went black, and the internal organs constructed by his Mental Power were about to rot and gradually became blurred.

He glanced at it; the outermost layer of Pale Gold Animal Hide wasn't burning, and there was a strange golden mist flowing around it, while the two large holes resonated.

"Even this animal hide wasn't burned, how can I, as a human, back down? I'm still hiding inside it, how can I be inferior to it? Charge again!"

Wang Xuan's mouth was dry and he felt like he was about to explode, but he still didn't want to back down. Maybe if he could just endure it, he could get through it. He longed to enter the true source.

"I want to see what I'll see after I break through!" He was unwilling to give up, and even more curious; this path was too mysterious.

Has it existed since ancient times?

Or was it his primordial spirit's trajectory, born because of him?

"Why is this road so long!" Wang Xuan was going crazy. His primordial spirit felt like it was going to vomit blood. He felt that his so-called spiritual hairs were burning and smoking. His spiritual flesh and blood were torn apart and gradually entered a black and mushy state.

Even with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye open, he still hasn't gotten close to that snow-white and sacred flower!

"It doesn't seem like an astronomical distance, but many days have passed since we actually flew across it. Haven't we even gotten close to where that demonic flower is taking root yet?"

"Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," and he was so exhausted from looking at flowers that he nearly died of exhaustion.

Soon after, the red glow intensified, and he was so dazed by the burning sensation that he wondered when it would end.

He had been flying for so long that he was in so much pain that he was almost numb. His mind was a mess, and he had a ringing in his ears, as if he were hearing a lot of strange noises.

"The Tao is emptiness..."

"Immortal..."

He gritted his teeth and shook his head violently to clear his mind. His lips, formed from Mental Power, were dry. If this continued, he would surely turn into a pile of ashes.

He didn't know how many days he had been flying. He discovered that the outermost layer of Pale Gold Animal Hide was reddish and covered by clouds. He didn't know its condition or whether he should destroy it.

The God Slaying Banner was almost black, its surface wrinkled and its Golden Grid expanding, yet it was still radiating power, supporting a faint halo that prevented it from being exposed.

The Silver Beast Skin Book, with its scribbles resembling ghost symbols, glowed with a rosy light, resonating with the near-realistic material. It was hard to say whether this was good or bad; Wang Xuan was in dire straits.

"I need to clear my head and practice!" On the road, he rode the God Slaying Banner. In order to distract himself from the pain, he tried, operated, and tested various scriptures to see which secret text was more suitable when he got closer to reality.

This kind of cultivation is too extreme, but it is very effective. He felt that he was hitting the ceiling of the Great Realm of Carefree Journey time and time again.

For him, this hurdle was special, indestructible, and unshakeable.

Wang Xuan had a feeling that if he chose to break through in the Real World using ordinary Super Material, there wouldn't be any problem, and he could quickly reach the level of Carefree Journey.

But in that case, the meaning would be completely different, and it's hard to say whether he will be able to set foot here again in the future.

He wanted to get closer to the true source, which is why he took this difficult path. The old myths were corrupt, and he had no reason to follow the path of his predecessors.

"Vomit!"

Even Old Chen outside was vomiting; it was a bitter spiritual turmoil, his life force churning as if being plowed, and his primordial ground of all laws was loosening.

What is this experience like? It's like sitting on a broken oxcart, running through a pile of rocks, about to be overturned at any moment. Then it's like driving the oxcart to the cratered surface of the moon, where even the cart would disintegrate, let alone the person.

Even Chen Yongjie almost lost his cultivation level, so you can imagine what the outside world is like.

The Supernatural Domain was in complete chaos. People from all walks of life could not bear it. Some demons collapsed as if drunk, while descendants of Transcendent Immortals were enveloped in a shower of light and their cultivation levels plummeted.

This time, the impact was enormous, affecting everyone. Those with weak cultivation levels almost dropped two realms, and even those with strong cultivation levels couldn't stabilize themselves.

Mo Si's face turned pale. This time, even he couldn't hold on and his defenses were officially breached!

"In the past, if it was a small earthquake, this time it was an unprecedented Heavenly Tremor, a quake that shook the starry sky. Who can stand this?" Great Immortal Huang Sin said with a bitter face, almost coughing up bile.

Cao Qingyu and Kong Yun are both very strong, but they were also pale-faced today.

Zhou Shiqian and Chen Yan covered their mouths and vomited repeatedly, their bodies lying prostrate on the Gobi Desert.

Qi Liandao, the Demon Ancestor's Progeny, couldn't help but curse his father, extremely angry. He had gone to great lengths and used the last of his Immortal Medicine to restore his cultivation level, but it was all in vain, and he was shaken down again.

"Demon Ancestor, are you even my real father? This broken bloodline, this broken primordial spirit, has no prestige whatsoever. You're so easily shaken, you've dropped another realm! In ancient times, you were considered a Demon Emperor, while I was merely a Demon Prince. What an humiliating experience this is, is this all?!"

At this moment, the Nurturing Life Furnace, the World-Crossing Sword, and the Carefree Boat were all vibrating, as if they were in harmony with each other, as if they sensed something.

"I want it... cooked!" Chen Yongjie groaned in pain, burning himself to the point of near death. He quickly chewed the small piece of the herbal medicine in his mouth to replenish his life force.

The violent tremor caused the earth around him to shake as well, but that was nothing compared to the fact that he was too close to Wang Xuan and was also burned. Even the filtered and purified red mist was enough to make him explode.

"Patriarch Chen is burnt, but Ancestor Wang is... cooked?!" He was starting to wonder if Wang Xuan was dead and roasted into a "human steak," the aroma of which filled the air.

At this moment, Zhang Daoling, Fang Yuzhu, the Red-Clothed Demon Lord, and the others were also in a bad mood, all feeling like they were about to crash and burn. Their fates were in turmoil, a situation that hadn't been seen for many years.

"Ugh..." Old Zhang staggered, even the mirror on his face didn't help, and sighed, "Now I finally understand the hardships women face. Is this morning sickness? I've finally experienced life."

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal glared at him fiercely, then bent over and vomited.

"You'll get used to it after a while. That's how it was when I first drank Heavenly Blood, vomiting..." the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor began.

He wasn't vomiting, he was gushing out loud, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it made everyone else feel disgusted!

Fang Yuzhu also broke down, covering her mouth, her fair and beautiful face, as white as mutton fat jade, tensed up, her eyebrows furrowed, she vomited several times, and even the Golden Bamboo Boat couldn't stop it.

"This time it's different, we can't defend against it. If it was a minor earthquake before, this is a major earthquake. It's like the difference between breaking through a minor level and breaking through the Great Realm." Zheng Yuantian's face was ashen, and several small pieces of his Silver Mask were broken off.

Even they fell victim to it, and their cultivation levels began to decline!

Boom!

The seven masters, along with two demon kings, rushed toward the decaying meteorite and entered the Earth's core, because they suddenly sensed something there.

There are near-realistic crystal remnants there!

While battling the violent tremors, trying not to lose their cultivation, they rushed forward to seize the crystal. They hadn't even noticed it before; it was only because of the tremors that they discovered it.

Then a huge explosion occurred there, seemingly shattering the void itself.

"I've endured arduous cultivation, transcended tribulations, braved death trials, comprehended Supreme Scriptures, and forged a new mythological path all the way. But... I'm completely bewildered. Where am I?"

Wang Xuan felt like he was burning up to the point of death, and he didn't know how much time had passed. Outside his body was a sword wheel, and inside his body, the stone slab scriptures were circulating. His primordial spirit was roaring, and he was almost completely burnt out.

"Should we persevere?" He realized that, at this point, he was close to the snow-white Immortal Flower, and indeed, he had blazed a very long trail.

Boom!

Suddenly, a section of stone wall near the flowers exploded, and several Dao Body stumbled out.

"It hurts so much! What the hell is this place?!" Old Zhang yelled, his body glowing red, looking like he was in ecstasy. He was even smoking!

Bang!

Not far from Wang Xuan, the Red-clothed Demon Immortal fell out, her long dress almost burned to ashes in an instant. She quickly performed some kind of ritual dance to fight against the Red Substance, but she still couldn't withstand it.

"Is this Great Dream Shone into Reality?" Wang Xuan was lost in thought when the Red-clothed Demon Immortal suddenly appeared before him and began to dance a celestial dance!

"It's you?!" The red-clad demon lord couldn't take it anymore. Her whole body glowed with light as she rushed over, trying to tear off Wang Xuan's animal skin clothes. Her crystal-clear arms and snow-white legs were almost burned.

Thanks to Xingyu Zhengyaomang for the support.
