The instant Mu Chen stepped into the spatial rift with the three others, darkness wrapped around them like viscous ink.
This was a dark expanse of nothingness that seemed capable of devouring even the air, leaving them feeling unbearably oppressed and weighed down...
This was the Void Space where the Divine Beast Origin lay!
Within this Void Space, spiritual energy was broken down by the darkness. After prolonged exposure to the void, even their own spiritual energy would gradually disintegrate, until they finally sank into its depths, unable to escape.
Ordinarily, they should have waited for a giant meteorite, climbed aboard, and relied on it to carry them down into the Divine Beast Origin.
Waiting here meant a continuous, irreversible drain on their spiritual energy. Every breath seemed exceptionally long and precious.
Mu Chen likewise sensed the omnipresent dark power attempting to break down and erode his spiritual energy.
That power seeped into every crack. Ordinary spiritual energy could not endure contact with it for long.
But that was all it could do.
His spiritual energy had long since surpassed what the darkness of this Void Space could break down.
Chaos encompassed all things and could assimilate all things. To him, this simple power of disintegration was no more than an empty shell.
Mu Chen stirred his will.
Buzzz-
A gentle yet irresistibly vast surge of chaos spiritual energy formed a translucent barrier of light, spreading abruptly from Mu Chen and instantly enveloping Nine Nether, Mo Feng, and Mo Ling behind him.
Outside the barrier, darkness remained, its disintegrating power ceaselessly eating away at it, yet unable to shake that thin membrane of light in the slightest.
Inside the barrier, the oppressive sensation that had made their spiritual energy churn and dissipate vanished instantly. Even breathing became easier.
