Although the battle was critical, Jing Qian remained calm!

He remained silent, pouring all his focus into the Sumeru Destiny Constitution, feeling the pulse of this unique dimensional space.

Then, following the flow of his thoughts, he moved forward once more.

Under pressure, Jing Qian's understanding of the Sumeru Destiny Constitution improved slightly.

His magic power was only enough for this last move, and the improved Sumeru Destiny Constitution naturally had a completely different effect!

Every cultivator, in the initial stage of obtaining a Destiny Constitution, would enter a period of rapid growth in strength after exploring the wondrous power of the Destiny Constitution!

Only after he had initially mastered the full power of the Destiny Constitution would he encounter the first bottleneck.

Jing Qian had painstakingly burned himself to Determine Destiny and refined this extremely high-ranked Sumeru Destiny Constitution, yet it had only been a mere few days.

His control over this Destiny Constitution could be said to be extremely rudimentary!

At this moment, every bit of increased understanding of Sumeru was an opportunity for a qualitative change in his strength.

The giant crab of the White Fang rank before him was the first enemy he had faced alone since leaving the Azure Pearl.

Under the pressure of life and death, he poured all his focus into Sumeru, ushering in a crucial breakthrough!

Before this, Jing Qian's void walking, as long as his Destiny Essence magic power was sufficient, could penetrate air and water, appearing anywhere according to his will.

This power was already strong enough!

It could almost make Jing Qian invincible in any battle.

And as his understanding of the Sumeru Destiny Constitution improved, a thought deeply buried in his heart suddenly arose.

Since gaseous and liquid states could not obstruct his spatial traversal!

Could solid objects also be leaped over using the power of Sumeru?

Under telepathic connection, he followed the tendrils of power from the Sumeru space and directly phased into the giant crab's colorful back shell.

"It really doesn't work?"

When Jing Qian tried to rely on the power of Sumeru to directly phase out from within the giant crab's internal cavity, he was startled to find that his idea was simply impossible to achieve!

His power was not enough to break through the layer of White Fang Destiny Essence on the giant crab's body surface.

This was not because Sumeru's divine might was insufficient, but because he himself was too weak!

Jing Qian had a feeling that as long as his own Destiny Essence magic power was deep enough, it was truly possible for him to pierce through the opponent's defense and directly enter its flesh.

However, that was a matter for later!

At this moment, the battle had reached its most critical point!

Along with the improvement in his control over Sumeru, even though he failed to achieve the first tactical objective, the true opportunity for victory had already appeared in his heart!

Just as the giant crab opened its mouth to howl, Jing Qian compressed the power of Sumeru to the extreme.

He actually followed the opponent's giant mouth and directly phased into its digestive system, flying down along its intestines and stomach.

He had already realized that since he couldn't directly penetrate the shell, he just needed to find a place where the opponent's magic power didn't cover!

The giant crab's magic power was concentrated on its shell, greatly increasing its defense.

However, the various organs protected within the shell were tender and delicious!

Jing Qian's will was like iron, his sword like a dragon. Holding the iron skewer-like sword, he leaped out of the space and appeared inside the giant crab's small intestine.

He unleashed all his remaining magic power, attacking the tender inner wall of the opponent's small intestine with all his might. In just a few sword strokes, he pierced through it, completely entering the giant crab's body.

Jing Qian had no more reservations and completely let himself go!

The skewer-like sword in his hand danced freely. Wherever he went, any organ visible to the naked eye was destroyed by him!

Looking at the giant crab again, it was stimulated by the sudden burst of pain within its body and was on the verge of madness, struggling desperately in the seabed.

But it was all in vain!

This mighty fortress was easily breached by the enemy from within!

It thrashed for a full stick of incense before finally dying, collapsing onto the seabed.

A small figure crawled out of its mouth, bringing with it a surge of murky blood.

Mixed within this blood were unrecognizable fragments of internal organs, scattering in the sea.

Jing Qian had finally killed the giant crab completely!

He slowly swam upwards, raised his hand, released a silk thread, pulled over half a coconut log, and climbed onto it with difficulty.

After all that struggle, he was back in a state of depleted magic power and physical exhaustion.

In fact, he was even worse off than when he had just escaped the tsunami!

Now, his raft was gone, his hammer was lost, and the only covering he had, the wrapped blanket, was stained with filth and had been discarded by him to the seabed.

All over his body, only a brocade pouch tied to his arm remained.

Someone who didn't know the truth, seeing his current appearance, would absolutely not imagine that this half-grown child lying on a rotten log and "airing his bird" was actually a cultivator in the Determining Destiny realm!

Jing Qian took several long breaths before finally recovering from the tension of the great battle.

He didn't rush back to the Destiny Stele Space to replenish his Destiny Essence. Instead, he first untied the brocade pouch from his arm.

Life in this otherworld was too unstable. If he didn't quickly study this brocade pouch, something might happen again, and it might be taken by someone else!

Jing Qian stroked the small brocade pouch, which was over three inches long, and examined it carefully.

The entire pouch was woven from spider silk, cool and smooth to the touch. It was clearly not an ordinary item.

Jing Qian originally wanted to open it to see what was inside, but he found that the entire pouch was seamless and had no opening at all.

He immediately poured his divine sense into the brocade pouch.

Just as he had expected, this brocade pouch was a spatial storage treasure!

A small space, one meter square, appeared within his perception.

And within this space, there were only three simple items.

Just as he was about to take these items out to investigate, the Sumeru Destiny Constitution hidden in his sea of consciousness suddenly changed!

A strange power emanated from this Sumeru, flowing up Jing Qian's arm and directly into the brocade pouch.

Subsequently, this precious brocade pouch, like a balloon, exploded with a bang!

Jing Qian was startled at first, but then inspiration struck, and he directly entered the dimensional space, disappearing from his original location.

And this time, the dimensional space he had entered and exited many times had undergone a drastic change in form!

An independent void, like a bubble, appeared before him!

This Sumeru Destiny Constitution had actually swallowed the storage brocade pouch directly, evolving a new void within this dimensional space!
