The Strange Giant Sphere

The Supreme Saint's cold voice echoed throughout the space, devoid of any emotion. The chains rattled and swayed, their movements synchronized with the Supreme Saint's voice, creating an even more sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

After leaving the location of the Supreme Saint, the Ruins found an open space. Looking at the crack in the sky and thinking about the scene they had seen before, they felt very heavy-hearted.

He felt that his chances were really slim in this round.

Previously, no matter what methods the Supreme Saint used, they would try their best to deal with them. But today's situation has become a fait accompli, and it is impossible to deal with it.

That place has already taken shape, and he can't even control this place anymore. Now the whole situation has become a head-on confrontation.

"No matter what the situation, I have to fight to the death. I'm going to die anyway, so I need to contact them in advance and at least make some preparations."

Upon Ruins this, Yiji immediately tried to contact Yun Zihai, but he remained seated in mid-air for a long time before finally standing up, and sighed inwardly.

"We've lost control here, and we can't even make contact."

He has lost control here; the only thing he still possesses is the power to trap the Supreme Saint.

But now it seems that this power is not enough, and he can no longer contact Yun Zihai.

For them now, information is completely cut off, and people don't even know what's happening. This situation is very tricky, because knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

But now he knows the other party's background, yet he can't contact them, which is quite awkward.

"It all depends on fate. If it's destined to succeed, then it will succeed; if it's not, then it will fail."

The Ruins sighed silently, ceasing to think about these things, and focused on locking up the Supreme Saint.

For him now, the most important thing is not to let the Supreme Saint leave prematurely, otherwise no one will have anything to play with.

The Ghost Market.

Xu Bai was sitting in front of a mountain of books, engrossed in working through them. He was working on piles of books with a calm and unhurried attitude.

However, his speed was not slow. Due to the upgrade of his cheat system, he could describe his progress bar as being incredibly fast. But the mountain of books in front of him was indeed a lot, so although Xu Bai's progress was fast, it would still take a long time to finish it.

"I wonder how things are in the human world, and whether any strange things have happened."

This time, he doesn't plan to return to the human world for the time being.

According to the clues he received, he would be caught if he went out, so it was safer to stay here. He would develop here first, and then go out to see what would happen when he had developed to a certain extent. At the very least, he had to finish all these books.

Although the process is tedious, the decreasing progress bar makes the rapid sense of accomplishment make the tedium disappear without a trace.

"At this rate, although it will take some time, this progress will allow me to make a huge improvement, which is not bad."

"Hmm? This is Entering Sainthood Failure Insights?"

"Keep it until I finish reading all the books."

While working on the progress bar, Xu Bai also discovered many Entering Sainthood Failure Insights.

It truly is a treasure trove left to him; the contents here are extremely important to him. However, he didn't put his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights. Entering Sainthood Failure Insights, he set them aside and planned to extract the Fusion Art from them after he finished studying all the books, and then combine all these complex skills together.

Thinking this, Xu Bai started organizing again, working on the progress bar while listing out the lessons learned from his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights. This took even longer, but it would be more convenient later.

In this environment, Xu Bai's efficiency actually increased when he was alone.

Gradually, time slipped away. Although there was no distinction between day and night here, Xu Bai couldn't feel the specific point in time, but he knew that he had been working on this for quite a long time.

He stretched, moved around a bit, picked up another book, and prepared to continue working on it.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom!"

A series of booming sounds echoed across the sky.

Xu Bai suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky. Countless cracks appeared in the sky. Even though they were far away and high up, Xu Bai could see them clearly with his eyesight, and with the cracks becoming more and more numerous.

That location was another space in the Ghost Market, where countless corpses were hidden.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. "I don't feel any danger."

People at their level have a very strong ability to sense danger.

There must be something unique about a situation where no danger is felt but the scene is strange.

"Snap!"

After the roar subsided, only the cracking sound of shattering remained. The sky resembled a broken mirror, with cracks falling to the ground like rain.

The crack that fell to the ground turned to ashes in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

In a very short time, a huge hole appeared in the sky.

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Bai's brows furrowed even deeper.

In fact, he had gone in several times before, each time breaking through the barrier himself before going in, and even if the sky was broken, it would repair itself.

This time was different; the sky broke on its own and did not repair itself, which seemed very strange.

From that huge opening, there was a faint sound of wind, howling so loudly it sent chills down one's spine, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

Xu Bai did not approach rashly. Even if he did not feel any danger, he would not go near without thinking. There might be something inside, especially when he thought of the tall figure made of flesh and blood that he had seen before, which made him feel a chill down his spine.

The large hole remained, but it did not continue to break apart or repair itself; it simply hung there high in the sky.

Xu Bai waited and waited, but after a long time, he didn't see anything unusual. He turned around and looked at the books behind him. Instead of going closer to the hole, he patiently started working on the progress bar.

There's no need to go there; the progress bar is the most important thing. As long as you grind the progress bar, there's nothing you can't do.

Let's finish the progress bar first. As for that big hole, it's still there, it's not going to disappear.

The huge hole in the sky remained unchanged, and Xu Bai continued to work on the progress bar. The two did not disturb each other, which instead formed a strange tacit understanding.

What Xu Bai was unaware of was that some wondrous changes were taking place inside the large cave.

Countless corpses lay motionless on the ground, but in the very center, a golden sphere of light was flashing.

The golden sphere of light flickered, and suddenly, countless fine threads emerged from it.

These silk threads were grayish-white and connected each corpse. As the corpses were connected by the silk threads, they began to tremble at an irregular frequency.

The shaking was very fast, and the shaking corpse looked extremely shocking.

As the corpse trembled, the golden sphere of light shifted from flickering to a stable state, and the grayish-white threads became more solid.

Just then, shadows suddenly appeared on the golden sphere of light, gathering densely and intertwining on its surface.

At this moment, the hole was gradually widening and was heading towards Xu Bai's direction.

Xu Bai was rushing to finish his work when he saw this scene and was completely stunned.

"Does this thing have a grudge against me?"

He didn't know what would happen after the big hole opened up.

But judging by the pace, it won't take long for it to spread over here.

Xu Bai turned around, looked at the mountain of books behind him, sighed, and got up to fly towards the large hole.

Since things have come to this point, we need to find a solution. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong and the books behind him are lost, that would be truly unfortunate.

The huge black hole continued to spread outwards, as if it were about to swallow the entire sky, but as Xu Bai approached, the speed of its spread slowed down.

When Xu Bai arrived at the bottom of the large cave, he was finally able to see the situation inside clearly.

Inside the large hole, the golden sphere, which was originally of a normal size, has now expanded to a terrifying extent.

The grayish-white silk threads also changed from being extremely thin to being as thick as a thumb, with each grayish-white silk thread inserted into the corpse.

The corpse was drying up at a visible rate, and as it dried, the golden sphere grew even larger, now the size of a sports field.

"This thing is absorbing the energy of the corpse, and why does it feel so familiar?"

Xu Bai immediately saw the truth. It was normal that it felt familiar, since the gold and grayish-white colors corresponded to his Heavenly Change. So the question was, what exactly did this golden sphere want to do? As the grayish-white threads continued to absorb, the golden sphere continued to expand, while some corpses could not withstand it and turned into ashes.

Gradually, all the corpses disappeared, and when the last corpse turned to ashes, the golden sphere began to shake violently.

Xu Bai wasn't afraid. He stroked his chin, deep in thought. The huge golden sphere in front of him didn't pose a threat to him; instead, it made him feel quite at ease.

The grayish-white threads had been retracted, and the large golden sphere remained suspended, still trembling.

Moreover, countless figures appeared above, each one different.

Xu Bai was pondering whether to go forward and take a look when the golden sphere suddenly changed.

The golden sphere stopped shaking, changing from motion to stillness, creating a stark contrast. On the surface of the golden sphere, the floating figures finally merged completely, and the golden sphere began to gradually darken.

Starting from the very top of the golden sphere, it gradually disappeared. The entire process took less than half a minute, and the enormous golden sphere was gone.

Xu Bai looked up, surprised at the scene. "That's it?"

He had expected something earth-shattering to happen, but it all happened so fast that nothing was left behind.

Xu Bai searched back and forth inside the cave, but found nothing; even the corpses had turned to ashes.

It's completely empty here.

He came out of the hole again and found that it could not be healed. He searched for a long time but found nothing.

Xu Bai thought about it and decided not to continue searching; going back to work on the progress bar was the priority.

He didn't linger there, returning to the mountain of books to continue working on the progress bar.

world.

Barbarian Territory.

Chu Yu, along with the disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, is currently stationed on a mountain.

Now, the entire border of the Barbarian Territory is guarded by the First Prince, who has also been granted the title of king, following the old path of the Rising Dusk King, while she focuses on the affairs of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

Chu Yu is now not far from the Extraordinary Realm, just one step away from stepping into it, but recently her thoughts have become increasingly chaotic.

Xu Bai has been missing for some time now, and everyone connected to him is in a state of confusion. Chu Yu is also feeling irritable every day, and she becomes anxious when dealing with things.

Chu Yu stood atop the mountain, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, and sighed silently.

"Junior sister, why sigh? With Xu Bai's strength, are you still worried about him?"

A voice rang out, Chu Yu turned her head to see Qin Feng holding a fishing rod, preparing to head towards the river not far away.

Chu Yu shook her head and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, so of course I'm worried, but lately I've been feeling uneasy, and I don't know why."

Time can transform a person, and Chu Yu has long since shed her former naivety and become more mature.

Of course she was worried about Xu Bai, but she trusted Xu Bai even more. With Xu Bai's strength, the possibility of him encountering danger was very small. It was just that recently, for some reason, she had been feeling increasingly irritable.

Qin Feng didn't think much of it, scratched his head and said, "Try to think positively. I'm going fishing now. I won't say any more."

After Qin Feng left, Chu Yu returned to her original state, gazing at the setting sun in the distance, lost in thought.

For some reason, the restlessness in my heart was gradually increasing, as if some danger was about to befall me.

Sea area.

A muscular man, standing two meters tall, was gazing at the endless sea.

Standing beside him were all sorts of people, dressed in different styles, quite unlike the clothing of the Great Chu Kingdom.

"Butcher of Heavens, are you sure that treasure will allow us to infiltrate silently?"

Beside him, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar waved a folding fan, speaking in a detached tone.

Butcher of Heavens was muscular and strong, but strangely, he carried a long sword on his back.

"That was my most precious treasure. If I could just take it back, I would be able to control it perfectly and teleport people to any place I wanted."

"What, you can't wait?"

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and did not answer.

More and more people gathered around, forming a dense crowd, and all of them exuded a terrifying aura.

The middle-aged scholar continued to fan himself with his folding fan, "It's almost time. Everyone has gathered here, just waiting for you to lead us over."

Butcher of Heavens nodded and turned to look at the people around him.

"Set off!"

"Our mission is to seize the ultimate treasure. Anyone who obstructs us will be killed without mercy!"

"For the Supreme Saint!"
