Surprise Attack

In the void of the Baixuan Secret Realm, the Void World Vine moved cautiously and slowly. Those who knew of him knew only of his ability to create illusions. Few knew that his true strength lay in creating a Void Realm—a false, hidden world that only he could enter. By using it, he could move silently through the Spatial Turbulence Layer connected to the Void Realm, allowing him to escape from the clutches of powerful beings.

Of course, the Void Realm was not without flaws. Those who searched carefully and persistently could detect disturbances in space. Even a Universe Master would need some time, though; otherwise, it would not have remained his closely guarded trump card.

From within the Void Realm, he sensed that something had disturbed a trace he had left behind somewhere.

This new Rock Lifeform is nothing like those few big fools. He really came to find me. Did he hear a rumor and come on his own, or was he sent?

The Void World Vine crept toward the exit, looking regretfully at the space ahead. That was where the Void Realm's coverage ended. Extending its coverage took time. After checking himself over, the Void World Vine—with his immense body—glided toward the exit as lightly and tracelessly as a feather.

"Zzt."

The sound was extremely faint, yet it instantly carried through the void to a distant point. Even the Void World Vine had no time to react. His perception swept behind him, where a Rock Lifeform stood. Their gazes seemed to meet.

Like a jellyfish, the Void World Vine's tendrils began to sway. He abruptly halted, then shot through the void at tremendous speed. His divine body was even larger than Danchan Clone's, so this was already incredibly fast—but his heart still sank.

This one means trouble.
