At noon, the blazing sunlight danced between the interlacing branches, piercing through layer upon layer of treetops and casting rings of fine, glittering shadows.
They spilled across the ground like flowing shattered gold, dazzling the eyes until they grew slightly hazy.
The distant mountains were dark green and lush. From time to time, cool mountain winds drifted over, stirring the swathes of emerald bamboo leaves along the cliffside into a rustling chorus and adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquility atop the mountain.
Su Fan closed his eyes and focused his mind, standing tall with his hands behind his back atop the mountain peak. His robes fluttered wildly in the breeze.
He had hidden in this desolate mountain range for more than a month. Perhaps the area was simply too remote and barren—there had not been a single demonic beast to disturb him.
That had given him the perfect opportunity to devote himself to honing his techniques.
Drawing in a deep breath mingled with the fresh scent of grass and trees and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, Su Fan lightly tapped the ground with his toes. His body rose like a willow catkin drifting in the wind and stepped straight into the void before him.
In an instant, the beautiful mountains and limpid waters faded away, replaced by a gray, hazy void secret realm with neither sky nor earth.
Su Fan's gaze suddenly sharpened. Lightning flickered faintly around him, and his entire body vanished soundlessly from where he stood, like a shadow merging into the void.
When he appeared again, he was already tens of thousands of miles away in the void. His figure was as steady as a rock, and his Spiritual Sense had suffered almost no depletion.
This was the heaven-defying might of Void Lightning Escape!
