Heavenly Gang Corridor!

After leaving Azure Cloud Sect, Bai Ye had a clear destination.

Dust Star Valley.

That was where the Secret Realm containing the "Divine King Inheritance" was located.

"The Divine King Inheritance... In a weak realm like the Heavenly Profound Continent, could there really be such a high-level inheritance?"

He murmured inwardly, without holding out overly high expectations.

In his view, the so-called Divine King Inheritance was most likely an exaggeration.

In reality, it was probably no more than an inheritance from the Heavenly God Realm or Divine Venerable Realm.

After all, according to the historical records of the Heavenly Profound Continent, the strongest experts were merely rumored to have reached the Heavenly God Realm.

Even the True God Realm was exceedingly rare, let alone the Divine King Realm, a pinnacle-level realm even in the Upper Realm.

Following the Star Chart in the Mysterious Black Tortoise Shell, Bai Ye made his way toward Dust Star Valley.

Dust Star Valley was not located within the Wild Domain.

Instead, it lay at the boundary between the Wild Domain and the Profound Domain, hidden deep within the Heavenly Gang Corridor between the two domains.

The Heavenly Profound Continent was divided into eight great domains. Between each domain surged void Gang Wind, cutting them off from one another and forming "Heavenly Gang Corridors" hundreds of thousands of miles wide.

This area was a Forbidden Zone for cultivators. Spatial rifts and Chaos fragments were mixed within the Gang Wind. With the slightest carelessness, a Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator would be torn apart by the wind, unable to preserve even their Dao Body.

Only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, relying on their abundant Spiritual Energy and powerful Dao Bodies, could barely move along the edges of the corridor. Anyone wishing to venture deeper had to be prepared to survive nine deaths out of ten.

Several days later, Bai Ye reached the boundary between the Wild Domain and the Profound Domain.

The sight before him completely overturned his understanding of the word "corridor."

It was not a narrow passage, but a vast, boundless region of the void, like a black ocean formed from Gang Wind!

Across the hundreds of thousands of miles of void, dark Gang Wind churned like raging waves, roaring with deafening force!

Wherever the Gang Wind swept past, the void split into fine rifts, within which dangerous Chaos light flickered!

Occasionally, golden lightning lashed out from the Gang Wind and struck meteors deep in the void, instantly blasting them into powder!

On the distant horizon, Gang Wind intertwined with nebulae, forming a deep darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light and making anyone who saw it tremble.

This was the Heavenly Gang Corridor.

It possessed both the ocean's vastness and the abyss's fatal danger!

"System, check in."

Bai Ye silently chanted in his heart.

"Ding! A special location, 'Heavenly Gang Corridor,' has been detected. Super reward activated!"

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained a third-grade Heavenly God soft armor—'Star Cloud Soft Armor'!"

A completely silver-white suit of soft armor appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The soft armor was as thin as a cicada's wing. Intricate nebula patterns were embroidered across its surface. It felt as smooth as silk to the touch, yet he could sense the heavy Divine Power contained within.

This was the first time he had obtained a Heavenly God-level treasure through checking in, and he could not help but feel delighted.

With a thought from Bai Ye, the soft armor transformed into a streak of light and instantly merged into his body's surface, fitting perfectly with his divine body without affecting his movements in the slightest.

At the same time, a gentle yet resilient barrier of Divine Power formed over his body, keeping the Gang Wind's scattered force outside and giving him an immense sense of security.

"So this is a Heavenly God-level divine artifact. With this divine artifact, even a Condensation Vein cultivator could easily cross the Heavenly Gang Corridor!"

Bai Ye praised it.

After making his preparations, Bai Ye's figure blurred, and he stepped into the Heavenly Gang Corridor.

The moment he entered the corridor, he felt a distinct suppression.

When his Primordial Spirit spread out, it met invisible resistance. His Primordial Spirit, which could originally cover a territory ten thousand miles wide, could now extend at most a hundred miles.

His perception had also become blurred, making it difficult to catch movements in the distance.

As expected, this place is no simple matter.

Bai Ye urged the Movement Character Secret. His figure transformed into a pale golden streak of light, weaving nimbly through the surging Gang Wind as he sped toward Dust Star Valley, following the direction indicated by the Star Chart.

The dark Gang Wind constantly battered the barrier around his body, yet it could never break through the defenses of the Star Cloud Soft Armor.

He was like a lone skiff, steadily advancing through the raging waves of Gang Wind.

Three days passed.

Within the perilous environment of the Heavenly Gang Corridor, they vanished in the blink of an eye.

Relying on the Movement Character Secret's extreme speed and the Star Cloud Soft Armor's formidable defenses, Bai Ye cut through every obstacle and finally reached the core region indicated by the Star Chart.

This was already the deepest part of the Heavenly Gang Corridor, and the terror of the environment far exceeded that of the outer regions.

The dark Gang Wind was no longer a disorderly mass of raging waves. Instead, it had condensed into pillars of wind several zhang thick, rampaging through the void like giant pillars holding up the heavens!

Silver-gray spatial rifts coiled around the surfaces of the wind pillars. Occasionally, floating meteors collided with them and were instantly torn into powder, without even a trace of dust remaining.

Even more unnerving was the faint Chaos aura permeating the air. This aura could corrode a cultivator's soul. Even Bai Ye, who had reached the True God Realm, had to circulate his Primordial Spirit to resist it.

The distant void appeared a distorted dark purple, as though it might collapse at any moment and reveal an even deeper layer of empty space.

In such an environment, let alone Nascent Soul Realm cultivators—even Tribulation Crossing Realm experts could lose their lives and have their Dao dissipate if they made the slightest mistake.

"Finally, I found it."

Bai Ye's gaze pierced through the rampaging pillars of wind and landed on the void ahead. A glimmer of understanding flashed through his eyes.

A huge meteor floated there.

Rather than calling it a meteor, it would be more accurate to call it a small continent drifting through an ocean of Gang Wind.

Its entire body was dark brown, and its surface was covered in ravines and meteor craters of varying depths. Clearly, it had endured countless years of collisions with Gang Wind and fragments of the void.

This "Meteorite Continent" was more than thirty miles long and over ten miles wide. Rocks were occasionally stripped from its edges by the Gang Wind and fell into the abyss of the void below, producing deep rumbles that echoed for a long time.

The continent's surface was not bare rock. Scattered across it were mineral crystals shining with faint spiritual light.

These were "Gang Wind Crystals," formed after being nourished by Gang Wind and Chaos aura over a long period. They were rare materials for refining spiritual artifacts.

But Bai Ye had no mind to concern himself with these treasures. His attention was completely drawn to the abrupt portal standing in the center of the continent.

It was a portal carved from a single block of pitch-black rock. Six meters high and three meters wide, the stone was as hard as divine iron, its surface gleaming with a cold luster.

There were no superfluous decorations on the rock, yet several indistinct Ancient Runes were faintly carved into it. Under the Gang Wind's caress, the runes occasionally flashed with a faint silver light, radiating heart-pounding spatial fluctuations.

It stood there alone in the center of the Meteorite Continent, starkly out of place amid the desolate, broken surroundings, as though it had existed there since ancient times and witnessed the passage of years through the Heavenly Gang Corridor.

Bai Ye's figure blurred, and he landed on the rocky ground of the Meteorite Continent. The rock beneath his feet was cold and hard, still bearing the rough sensation left behind by the passing Gang Wind.

He walked up to the portal and took the Mysterious Black Tortoise Shell from his storage ring.

The instant the Tortoise Shell left the storage ring, it seemed to sense the portal's summons. It automatically emitted a faint golden light, broke free from Bai Ye's palm, and slowly rose into the air, flying toward the pitch-black portal.

Whoosh—!

When the Tortoise Shell reached a point three feet before the portal, it suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light!

This radiance was no longer the faint halo it had displayed before. It was brilliant like a small sun, golden streams of light flowing along the cracks on the Tortoise Shell's surface and illuminating the ancient patterns with crystal clarity.

Immediately afterward, the Tortoise Shell transformed into a golden streak of light and shot straight into the pitch-black portal!

There was no collision as expected. The instant the Tortoise Shell touched the portal, it slowly seeped into it like a drop of water merging into the sea.

As the Tortoise Shell merged into the portal, the Ancient Runes on its surface were instantly activated. Golden patterns spread from the bottom of the portal to its top, circulating continuously as though they had come to life and radiating immense spatial power.

Rumble—!

The portal let out a deep roar and slowly opened inward.

A crack appeared first. From within it surged an incomparably dense spatial power, distorting the air around it. Even the rampaging Gang Wind was drawn in by this force, forming a small whirlwind that revolved around the portal.

As the crack gradually widened, a faint purple radiance shone from within. One could vaguely sense an aura of vast, pure Spiritual Energy hidden inside, but the scene within remained impossible to see.

Bai Ye's brows drew together slightly as he extended his Primordial Spirit toward the portal's interior.

Yet the moment his Primordial Spirit touched that layer of purple radiance, it vanished like a mud ox entering the sea. The connection was lost, and not a single piece of information returned, as though it had been completely isolated by an independent space.

As expected, it is an independent Secret Realm space.

After a brief moment of thought, Bai Ye made his decision.

He had come here precisely to seek the inheritance. Even if there were dangers inside, with his current peak True God Ninth Layer strength, he was more than capable of dealing with them.

Without further hesitation, Bai Ye raised his foot and stepped forward. His figure instantly passed through the purple radiance and vanished into the portal.

The instant he entered the Secret Realm, the opened pitch-black portal slowly closed inward. The golden runes gradually dimmed, ultimately returning to their original pitch-black appearance.

On the Meteorite Continent, only the raging Gang Wind continued to howl, as though nothing that had just happened had ever occurred.
