In the Dream Realm, at the core of the Phantom Sun.
Soft Feather, the Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword, Senior Turtle, and Onion Lady floated silently a short distance from the core.
The Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword and Senior Turtle joined forces to erect a barrier, shutting out the Phantom Sun's heat and protecting Soft Feather and Onion Lady within it.
Senior Turtle gazed at a mass of black matter in the center of the core and asked, puzzled, "What is that?"
Though the mass was black, it delivered the same fiery sensory punch as Lao Gan Ma... as if it might explode at any moment.
Just looking at it made their whole bodies feel hot and prickly!
"If I'm right, that's the Stellar Explosion Virus, the thing Senior Song warned us to watch out for. I didn't expect it to actually exist inside the Dream Realm's Phantom Sun." Sitting on Senior Turtle's back, Soft Feather took out a telescope-like magical instrument and observed the black mass from afar.
According to Senior Song, it could detonate a star and destroy an entire Small World.
Who would have thought even a Phantom Sun in the Dream Realm could be infected?
"What happens if it explodes?" Onion Lady asked timidly.
She was the little demon with the lowest cultivation present, delicate and frail. Without Senior Turtle's protection, even a slight energy shock would be enough to send her to the Yellow Springs.
"According to Senior Song, once it explodes, it'll set off the entire star, destroying the star and everything around it. And this virus is incredibly vicious... even a Longevity Immortal could be consumed by it and die in the stellar explosion," Soft Feather said.
The sight of Heavenly Emperor Dada's death had proved just how terrifying the Stellar Destruction Virus was.
