Void IV

Under the azure sky and warm sunshine, a line of wild geese flew into the distance.

Tiny white and yellow butterflies fluttered around me, circling with the bees as if playing and frolicking.

Further away, a voluptuous woman wearing a long dress resembling a white cheongsam was strolling gracefully toward them.

The woman had a broad forehead, with a single red snake eye pattern between her brows; otherwise, she was like any other beautiful woman. Her demeanor was languid yet noble.

"You've finally come in." The woman's cherry lips parted slightly, uttering a voice exactly like White Scale's.

"White Scale?" Zhang Rongfang looked at the woman opposite him with surprise.

"It's me." Her White Scale was streaked with white, and she gently lifted her skirt, ignoring her exposed fair thighs. She sat cross-legged on a sloping White Stone, looking down at Zhang Rongfang from above.

"So, this is my Void. A world that belongs only to me."

She gestured around with her wristband, her tone tinged with pride.

Zhang Rongfang looked around; the scenery in the distance was somewhat blurry and not very clear.

He didn't reply, but instead tapped his toes, unleashed his movement technique, and flew straight off in one direction.

Soon, after more than two hundred meters, he suddenly stopped. Standing in a meadow full of flowers, he reached out and touched them.

His fingers could clearly sense an invisible barrier, firmly blocking his hand.

"What's this?"

"You don't actually think the Void is infinite, do you?" White Scale appeared behind him at some point.

"I used to Void large, much larger than I am now, but after I decayed, I was reduced to the size of a coffin. Just big enough for me to lie down and sleep in."

"It wasn't until you came that I slowly acquired this much territory," White Scale explained carefully.

"Is this your imagined world? Did you create it yourself?" Zhang Rongfang stroked the invisible barrier, feeling as if he were touching some kind of smooth, cool porcelain.

"This is where I used to live in seclusion. Isn't it quiet and beautiful?" White Scale sighed. "Unfortunately, I gradually forgot the An Ning I had back then. I was swept up by the believers and lost my true nature."

To be honest, if I hadn't met you and gained the power to expand my Void energy from you, I'm afraid I would still be lost in the pleasure of absorbing brain marrow, unable to extricate myself.

She looked at Zhang Rongfang, whose height was just the same as hers.

"Here, I can fully unleash my power, and I can modify or add to the surrounding environment in a short time if I want."

"For example, like this." She stretched out her right arm and pointed casually.

At her right foot, a blooming red flower rapidly grew taller and larger, then transformed into a patch of pink light.

The light spots regrouped, forming a cylinder three meters high.

Bang.

White stone-like patterns appeared on the surface of the cylinder. Then it crashed heavily to the ground, knocking down a patch of flowers.

"Look, this is the power of the Gods and Buddhas within the Void," White Scale explained.

"Is there any damage?" Zhang Rongfang immediately saw the key point.

"You are very perceptive. Such losses are actually quite significant, so we rarely change the environment, but rather focus our energy on strengthening and restoring ourselves." White Scale nodded.

Zhang Rongfang understood somewhat; even the Void was the home ground of the Gods and Buddhas.

Normal Remnant God like White Scale seem fine now; everything is quite logical.

But if you were to enter the Void of some Innate God, who knows what kind of environment it would be like inside?

"So you usually live here alone?" he asked again.

The entire area here is just a sea of flowers on the slopes, nothing else at all.

"Yes. If there's nothing else, we can chat. We don't need to eat or drink, we have plenty of time to spare, no need to rest or sleep, how about that? Isn't that great?" White Scale said with a smile.

"So, do you know where that passage outside is?"

Zhang Rongfang roughly understood the situation of the Gods and Buddhas in the Void, which was indeed very troublesome.

But what he found even more mysterious was the dark metal passage he had seen when he first entered.

"Passage? You mean gap? I'm not quite sure." White Scale shook his head. "That passage is a place that everyone who enters my Void will see. We usually call it a gap, as a transit station."

She thought about it.

"When I communicated with other Physical Body God, everyone mentioned that passage, but no one paid much attention to it. Because whether it's us or you ordinary people, the time we can stay there is very, very short. If we're not careful, we'll be forcibly sent back, so we can't explore any further."

"Is that so?" Zhang Rongfang took out the fragment of the Sea Dragon God Statue from his pocket.

That is, the fragment with a row of mysterious symbols on the back.

"If you see these symbols elsewhere, please let me know," he said earnestly.

"You do have a secret after all." A knowing look appeared in White Scale's eyes.

"Everyone has secrets, just like you," Zhang Rongfang replied. Even a Remnant God, no matter how stupid, wouldn't act like the naive and innocent girl in front of him.

"Okay. I agree, but can you tell me what these symbols are? You don't need to go into too much detail, just a general description," White Scale asked curiously.

Zhang Rongfang fell silent for a moment.

He looked down at the bronze fragment in his hand.

"A special thing used to mark what is used."

On that fragment, a row of fine symbols now faintly resembled many of the numbering codes he had often seen in his previous life.

He then recalled the door he had just seen leading in, as well as the metal passageways on either side.

A chilling suspicion arose spontaneously in his mind.

Could these Gods and Buddhas possibly...? "Could you send me back to that gap passage to take another look?" he suddenly asked.

"It is possible. You can go through it once when you go back, but you won't be able to stay for long before you are forcibly sent back," White Scale said seriously. "Actually, I've thought about exploring that passage before, but there's no way. Time is a factor, and you simply can't leave the area around the door."

"Give it a try?" Zhang Rongfang said in a deep voice.

White Scale's Void ended just like that. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and there was no bloodshed or conflict with gods and Gods and Buddhas.

On the contrary, the passage he saw before entering the Void gave him a strange and inexplicable feeling.

So he was eager to go back and see it again.

"Don't you want to stay here any longer?" White Scale opened his arms, revealing an ambiguous expression.

"Here, I can arrange all sorts of life for you~~ like having ten Heavenly Maiden play games and have fun with you~~~"

"You old lecher." Zhang Rongfang was speechless. "I'm going back."

"Hehehe, you're tempted, aren't you? Just a moment ago, I felt your heart skip a beat." White Scale's smile became even more ambiguous, her pretty face leaning closer, a smug look on her face.

Bang!

In an instant, Zhang Rongfang raised his hand and threw a punch.

With his Super Speed Movement, the Immortal Method Ground Shrinking, and his current terrifying physical abilities...

Boom!!! White Scale raised his hand with lightning speed, steadily catching the punch. A circle of white mist slowly spread between the two, causing the surrounding sea of flowers to tilt and fall to the ground.

"It's useless. Within my Void, my power can be amplified by at least 100%!"

White Scale shouted triumphantly.

"Furthermore, what I fought you with before was only a portion of my true power! Therefore, you cannot possibly defeat me now!!"

"Again!" Zhang Rongfang's body rapidly swelled and grew larger.

Since everyone knew each other well and had a symbiotic relationship, he didn't hide anything and directly activated all three Blood Lotus at the same time, along with his Final Form Godspeed.

Call!!

Rings of heat rapidly spread outwards from Zhang Rongfang.

His size instantly reached seven meters, and he lunged forward.

Immortal Method: Blood Mist.

Boom!!!

Zhang Rongfang slammed his arms into the ground, shattering them and sending up a spray of blood and mist.

In an instant, the earth shook violently within a 30-meter radius, and all the flowers were shaken off the ground, roots and all.

The soil here seemed exceptionally soft, and was almost completely destroyed by the shockwave from this attack.

The White Scale got too close and were immediately stuck to the Blood Mist, their bodies hissing and corroding, emitting large plumes of smoke.

"Are you crazy? You're actually going to do this?!"

Enraged, she leaped into the air, transforming into a Giant One-Eyed White Python over twenty meters long, and slammed fiercely into Zhang Rongfang.

In the smoke, the white python and a dark red fist instantly clashed.

With a loud bang, another deafening sound followed.

White Scale rolled backward and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhang Rongfang also took two steps back, his chest heaving.

"His strength is indeed much greater than before." Previously, White Scale estimated that he was only about twice the strength of Sang Lan, in terms of pure power.

But now, it has most of Auduna's.

Swoosh.

As he was making his comparison, a figure in a white dress suddenly flew out of the smoke in front of him.

The figure had waist-length black hair, an extremely full chest, Jin Ling around the waist, and a cold and aloof expression.

It was none other than the Heavenly Maiden Tong Zhang.

"Rong Fang, what are you doing here?" Tong Zhang suddenly let out a weak groan, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and slumped softly toward Zhang Rongfang.

"I just encountered a big snake, I'm so scared."

As her delicate body fell, her dress was accidentally torn open, revealing glimpses of her skin.

BOOM!!!

Zhang Rongfang delivered a powerful punch, striking Tong Zhang squarely in the face.

Blood splattered, the beautiful face of the Heavenly Maiden Tong Zhang was deformed, her lips were torn, and her nose was broken. Then she cried out in pain and her body flew backward, transforming back into the White Scale human form in mid-air.

"Aaaaaah!! You heartless lunatic who can't even cherish a woman!! Zhang Rongfang, I curse you to have sons who are born without a penis!!"

"Get out! Get out of here!!" White Scale screamed and waved her hand.

The ground beneath Zhang Rongfang's feet suddenly began to flow rapidly, like a conveyor belt, instantly moving him a great distance backward.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and he was standing once again in front of the metal door engraved with the One-Eyed White Python.

"With your stupid look, you think you can pretend to be Heavenly Maiden?" Zhang Rongfang chuckled. Then he turned and looked around.

On both sides were dark, winding metal passageways.

The vast passageway was empty and silent, as if no one had passed through it for a very, very long time.

Without hesitation, Zhang Rongfang turned and strode out into the passage on the left.

Hiss! Suddenly his footing sank.

An extremely heavy pressure descended from the sky, pinning him firmly to the spot, rendering him unable to move.

Within a short time, his entire body emitted faint cracking sounds simultaneously. It was a groan of unbearable strain.

At this moment, he had already activated the Blood Lotus and reached the Final Form. He was at the peak of his physical condition.

But this immense pressure still caused his blood to circulate wildly throughout his body, as if he had suddenly been subjected to a weight exceeding his limits.

One second, two seconds later, my heart felt like it was exploding, making huge, continuous noises, surging all the blood to provide more power.

Just as Zhang Rongfang was about to collapse to his knees, his vision suddenly blurred.

Whoosh! The immense force vanished.

He returned to the original location of the White Scale Temple.

Everything around remained unchanged, except that heavy rain was pouring down overhead.

Clearly, quite a bit of time has passed.

He rapidly shrank, returning to his normal body. Breathing heavily, he quickly took a pill from his pouch and popped it into his mouth to relieve the intense exertion he had just experienced.

"Interesting. If my guess is correct, then this Void gap..."

He was panting heavily, but he felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
