A giant spider? It was black, covered in long, hard hairs like steel needles. It was about fifteen meters long. It swooped down at lightning speed, its eight black, cold legs like spearheads, aiming to snatch the golden, pulsating Good Fortune True Crystal from Wang Xuan's hand.

Beside Wang Xuan, the green-haired elven girl collapsed. After being struck with Iron Stake, her Primordial Spirit Blood gushed out uncontrollably. Then, her neck twisted to the side, her eyes dimmed, and she died at the bottom of the sea, swept away by the undercurrent.

"So fragile?" Wang Xuan was surprised. It was only one stab, and he died as soon as it pierced through. Perhaps it had pierced the Primordial Spirit core imprint. But he felt no remorse. His opponent had tried to kill him first in order to seize the True Crystal.

He quickly shifted his body to the side, dodging the spider's leg attack. After the giant spider missed its target, it spun rapidly, creating a turbulent undercurrent and forming a huge vortex.

Wang Xuan frowned. This enormous spider was actually the primordial spirit of a creature. It was very powerful, but it had not mastered the Supernatural Rule and could not look down on him.

In an instant, he broke free from the black vortex and flew on his sword. The Iron Stake emitted a faint light; although it was not an activated treasure, it was sturdy enough.

Sizzle!

He was underwater, his body fused with a special "iron sword," and clashed with the black spider several times. At first, the spider was arrogant and wanted to torture him like a grandson.

As a result, in an instant, three of the spider's legs were pierced by him, which made this Spider Clan expert hardly believe that his Eight-Legged Divine Spider was injured by a mere brat.

This is almost like a dream, it feels unreal. Who is he? He is the grand-disciple of an unparalleled expert, and he often gets to listen to the teachings of the supreme expert.

Now, he has been stabbed by a junior monk.

During the battle, no matter how many spells it cast, how its spider legs danced like windmills, or how its eight black spears thrust forward in dense array, it was all in vain; it suffered a defeat.

Faced with his attack, the opponent only had one move: one rod to break all spells. It was simple and brutal. That Iron Stake was truly evil. It pierced through the light barrier, destroyed the magic, pierced through his long leg, and stabbed into the spider's body, causing his face to contort in pain, his whole body to bleed, and his primordial spirit to suffer unbearable pain.

In the end, he fled. He could no longer bear it and could not withstand the Iron Stake. His primordial spirit was riddled with holes, and the rod had even reached his core mark.

However, Wang Xuan had no intention of letting him go. At the last moment, he became one with his sword and unleashed the full power of the Dao -Dao Slaying Sword Manual, as if distorting space and time, and moving at a speed beyond reason!

Wang Xuan used his golden animal hide to shield himself from two fierce stabs from its long legs, and then used Iron Stake to pierce its massive head.

The Eight-Legged Divine Spider died tragically, its primordial spirit disintegrated, and it was assimilated by the Supernatural Light Sea, drifting away with the sea. A piece of emerald green Good Fortune True Crystal fell, which Wang Xuan caught with great satisfaction. This would be the "resource" for him to advance to the Great Realm of Carefree Journey.

It wasn't just here; conflicts were escalating elsewhere, with bloody killings and fierce battles erupting whenever a rare object was discovered.

As the Supernatural Light Sea receded, it washed away many remarkable things, some of which did not belong to this mythical civilization, moving even the most peerless masters.

Half a day later, Wang Xuan obtained a total of six Good Fortune True Crystal. The dense, near-real substance was continuously refined by his primordial spirit, and the barrier to his Great Realm continued to loosen.

"Thirteen... Good Fortune True Crystal?!" His eyes gleamed with excitement.

In the deep sea ahead, a pile of crystals lay scattered, dark green, deep purple, silver-white, golden yellow... a dazzling array of colors, so vibrant and mesmerizing that one longed to get closer to them.

Wang Xuan was certain that if he obtained and refined all of these super- Good Fortune True Crystal, he should be able to break through his cultivation level!

However, the distance is quite far. If he rushes over there rashly, he might be swept away by the Supernatural Light Sea and never be able to turn back, and he would die in the great ebb tide.

Wang Xuan rushed out of the Supernatural Light Sea and immediately contacted Fang Yuzhu. Since she was one of his own, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. As far as he was concerned, there was a treasure below, and he had to get his hands on it.

Fang Yuzhu nodded and said, "At the critical moment, I will use spiritual threads to guide you and keep you in a safe position. You will not be assimilated in a short time. Seize the opportunity."

The vast universe, the deep starry sky, the surging of the Supernatural Light Sea, receding into the distance, causing even the primordial spirit to tremble and resonate—this is the last afterglow of the extraordinary.

With a splash, Wang Xuan plunged into the sea again, venturing into the dangerous area. The pile of crystals was moving with the undercurrent. He felt a spiritual thread wrapping around him. Without thinking too much, he quickly approached the crystals.

"Haha, what a stroke of luck!"

A'da and A'er appeared at the right moment, laughing from behind, and attacked without hesitation. They dared not go over, but attacked from a distance, directly stirring up fierce undercurrents on the seabed and impacting Wang Xuan.

This was completely self-defeating and harmful. He himself was almost swept away by the turbulent sea of light, all to interfere with Wang Xuan and cause him to lose his life and drift away with the tide.

"You two are asking for death!" Wang Xuan was furious. He had been keeping a low profile, not provoking anyone, and was only on the defensive, but people still kept attacking him.

He was reflecting on whether he had been too kind, failing to target them and instead being confronted by them.

At the critical moment, Fang Yuzhu's spiritual threads pulled him back, and he quickly scooped up the thirteen crystals and rushed towards the near sea.

Clearly, even someone as powerful as Fang Yuzhu could not keep her spirit, which had transformed into wisps of light, immersed in the sea of light indefinitely; it would quickly recede.

She needs to use the Dao Slaying Sword to cut off the Supernatural Light Sea power that is rushing towards her along the spiritual threads. If she is assimilated, the problem will be very serious. She will explode and disintegrate even on the shore.

Fortunately, Wang Xuan had escaped the danger zone by this time.

At the bottom of the sea, A'da A'er chuckled coldly and interfered again, joining forces to create a terrifying supernatural undercurrent that blasted Wang Xuan into the deep sea.

Most importantly, a dragon's roar was extremely terrifying, shaking the seabed and causing it to churn endlessly. A Divine Dragon spread its twelve pairs of wings and swept past with its tail.

It caused Wang Xuan a great deal of trouble. He had just finished fighting against A'da and A'er and had not yet fully returned to the near sea when he was hit by the beam of light spat out by the dragon.

He was thrown horizontally across the seabed and carried away by the waves. His body was in excruciating pain. This dragon was powerful and awe-inspiring. He had seen it on the shore before. It was an unparalleled master.

A portion of the Divine Dragon's primordial spirit light separated and came to the seabed. Although the Supernatural Rule and patterns were washed away, it was still extremely powerful, and ordinary beings could not contend with it.

This attack was incredibly powerful; anyone else would have been shattered and their primordial spirit would have perished. Wang Xuan withstood it, his golden animal hide fluttering in the wind, yet even so, Primordial Spirit Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He was too passive, attacked on the edge of a dangerous area, and fell into the deep sea again, making it difficult to fight back.

Boom!

The giant dragon swung its tail; it possessed the body of a true dragon and wings like those of an angel, sacred and dazzling. It was the overlord of this sea of light, and this place was especially suitable for it. The huge waves it stirred up plunged Wang Xuan into a desperate situation, moving him further away from the shore.

Furthermore, seven of the thirteen colorful Good Fortune True Crystal that Wang Xuan had just grabbed were shaken off and absorbed by the giant dragon as it opened its mouth.

It is truly a dragon returning to the sea, where it is inherently invincible and has all the advantages.

Wang Xuan's body glowed, transforming into a sword wheel, and his eyes emitted wisps of patterns, locking onto the shore. He was forcibly returning, trying to escape this place.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Fang Yuzhu cast a spell again, and spiritual threads quickly appeared, wrapping around his waist once more and pulling him away from the most dangerous deep-sea area.

Boom!

The Divine Dragon set its sights on the Good Fortune True Crystal on Wang Xuan's body and charged forward again, its wings outstretched, attempting to sever Fang Yuzhu's spiritual threads.

Wang Xuan was swept away by the turbulent currents and the surging waves, his figure receding into the distance.

However, Fang Yuzhu possessed immense strength and withstood the danger of assimilation. Her spiritual threads were continuously reinforced, forcibly pulling him back and successfully bringing him to the shallow sea area.

"Not bad, they managed to survive and weren't swept away." The silver-haired youth, the master of A'da and A'er, appeared, smiled, and made a slash in the void, trying to sever Fang Yuzhu's spiritual threads.

Fang Yuzhu had a premonition and instantly suppressed that wisp of spirit.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, at the bottom of the sea, a giant dragon rushed in and attacked Wang Xuan, trying to steal the remaining Good Fortune True Crystal from him.

At the same time, the Silver-Haired Youth smiled and approached the spot. He then made a sudden move, his hand covering the sky, his silver light surging as he delivered a series of heavy blows.

Wang Xuan was very strong, but now he was facing the combined attack of these two powerful figures. His body completely lost its balance and was swept away by the vortex created by the two, and was swept downstream by the vast sea of light.

"Thank you for the Good Fortune True Crystal." The Silver-Haired Youth grabbed the several colorful crystals that Wang Xuan had dropped and put them away.

The Divine Dragon also absorbed a few pieces, then with a flick of its tail, it went elsewhere to find its target, neither of them wanting to confront the Silver-Haired Youth.

As Wang Xuan departed, the vast ocean swept him deeper into its depths. He wiped the Primordial Spirit Blood from the corner of his mouth, only to be ambushed by the avatars of two peerless masters, plunging him into a desperate situation.

He tried his best to rush towards the sea surface, but the assimilating and pulling forces in the depths of the sea of light increased sharply, far more terrifying than those near the shore. They had bound him, making it difficult for him to break free.

What's most terrifying is that at the deepest part of the Supernatural Light Sea, there is a mythical black hole that attracts all matter related to the extraordinary, even affecting people like him who have not mastered the rules.

Wang Xuan struggled and resisted with all his might. His primordial spirit body glowed, as if burning with flames, and he charged and swam toward the shore.

However, the pull from the depths of the Sea of Light underwater was terrifying, dragging him as if he were being pulled into the abyss within the Sea of Light, and he was getting further and further away from the shore.

At this rate, he is doomed to die and will never return.

"Damn it!" Wang Xuan was still seething with anger. He had been driven to the brink of despair by the dragon and the silver-haired youth, and now he had no chance to take revenge.

He desperately stabbed various objects on the seabed with Iron Stake, such as rolling, rotting warships and huge blocks of divine iron, trying to stabilize himself and avoid being pulled away, but it was no use. Even those giant objects were being pulled towards the center of the sea of light, approaching death.

He was exhausted; his primordial spirit body trembled, and light continued to rise, but alas, the power in the deep sea was irresistible!

He couldn't even replenish his strength. Not only did he lose the Good Fortune True Crystal in his hand, but the few pieces he had found earlier also fell off after being hit by the silver-haired youth and the dragon.

"I'm going to die in a place like this. I'm so unwilling to accept it. It's so frustrating." In that instant, he thought of his parents and many other people.

"I haven't married or had children yet, I still have many regrets, and there are still people waiting for me. I've discovered the Land of Nothingness and the Meteorite Road, and I want to see what lies beyond them. I'm only in my twenties, in the prime of my life, and I want to reshape the myth..."

He had all sorts of thoughts, a jumbled mess, and he was unwilling to resist the gravity of the sea of light.

At the last moment, he also thought of the two culprits: the silver-haired youth who had clearly mocked him after knocking him into the deep sea, and the dragon, whose indifference before leaving was full of disdain and contempt.

Bang!

Finally, when Wang Xuan was swept into the depths of the sea of light, he bumped into several crystals. He quickly grabbed one and absorbed the near-real super-grade energy.

But it was all in vain. He couldn't break free or escape. The abyss that devoured the extraordinary and mythical seemed to truly exist. The gravity was increasing, and his primordial spirit was roaring. If he continued to fight like this, he might disintegrate and die.

"This is..."

As he was swept far downstream and into the deep sea, he encountered more and more strange things. Occasionally, large numbers of crystals would swim by like schools of fish, so dense and captivating.

Ahead, a vibrant array of colors appeared, containing numerous enormous bubbles that seemed to contain substances even closer to reality.

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He saw a familiar, terrifying substance: within the enormous bubble, red clouds surged like flames and lightning.

This was similar to the red glow he had seen in the Land of Nothingness, extremely violent.

It wasn't just one giant bubble, but clusters and patches of it, stretching out in patches of red clouds, and of course, other super-grade substances as well.

"Take a gamble and detonate them!" Wang Xuan said fiercely, ready to fight to the death. He wanted to break the balance of this area and break out of the Sea of Light. Once he was out of the water, everything would be much easier.

He rushed over, wielding the Iron Stake in his hand, and attacked with all his might, breaking open these huge gas tanks. Different kinds of volatile substances rushed out instantly, and once they collided, they were bound to explode.

The Red Substance did not disappoint him; it was indeed similar in appearance to what he had seen in the Land of Nothingness. Once activated, it resembled a sea of thunder.

He quickly covered his entire body with the golden animal hide. Anyone else would have surely died; they would have been burned or hacked to death by the intensely red color.

It is like a supreme flame, or Thunder Marsh; with just a little touch, it can turn a human body to ashes.

"That is..." Wang Xuan broke the balance here, about to cause a huge wave, when suddenly his pupils contracted and he saw something incomparably sacred and dazzling.

"I must seize it and bring it back. Then I can break through and take revenge on that dragon and the silver-haired youth!" He risked his life to rush forward.
