The Second Distortion

Having the ability to travel fast and slow, Zhang Xuezhou is not afraid to traverse spaces that are only temporarily accessible.

Everyone has their own strengths. Huang Daoxian can solve the problems that Zhang Xuezhou cannot, and Zhang Xuezhou can do the things that Huang Daoxian finds difficult.

Despite Huang Daoxian's reluctant encouragement, Zhang Xuezhou genuinely attempted to explore this hidden space and try to enter it.

Whether it was Huang Daoxian, Xu Lu, or Hu Yu, Qi Zhu, and other cultivators, many cultivators came on fire meteors, and none of their fire meteor bases could be hidden in another space.

Currently, only Donghua can achieve spatial overlap. If it weren't for the fact that even the owner of the Immortal Gem couldn't be reborn, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was a considerable possibility that he would give up assisting Genas, so as not to provoke another top-level cultivator.

"Who could imprison a cultivator no less powerful than Donghua within?"

Zhang Hao was taken aback after hearing Zhang Xuezhou's analysis.

Zhang Hao had fought Donghua's soul before and knew very well that the other was so difficult to deal with that it was unbearable.

Although it is unknown what great abilities Donghua would possess if he had a physical body, Donghua's divine soul is indeed superior to his.

Whether this hidden space belongs to the owner of the Immortal Gem, or whether someone defeated the other and imprisoned the owner of the Immortal Gem here, it signifies terrifying power.

"You've been on Tours Island for years, didn't you know anything about it?"

Zhang Manqian asked Zhang Huang, the holdout resident of the Tuer District, in a low voice, but Zhang Huang scratched his head repeatedly, indicating that he did not know.

"Could it be Qinmeng's?"

Changkong Yinglian made a guess, which immediately caused everyone's expression to change slightly.

"We'll be adversaries sooner or later. Even if we don't confront him, he'll still kill us. Who cares!"

Zhou Rihui shouted.

He spoke loudly and his words were sincere.

Including Zhang Xuezhou, none of them had ever seen Qinmeng, the half-step ascendant who had merged with the origin of the world, but they had all genuinely felt the changes in the environment, and no one was willing to accept an environment similar to Qinmeng's region.

This change is not benign like the Sinkhole No. 2; instead, it will bring irresistible social dangers, inevitably leading to opposing positions. Not to mention the potential for persecution during the other side's dimensional ascension to eliminate hidden dangers.

"Can we squeeze in?"

Ren Yisheng asked Zhang Xuezhou kept touching the cave walls, prompting Zhang Xuezhou to shake his head repeatedly.

"I didn't feel any distorted space that I could squeeze into," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I've already been very lenient with you," Huang Daoxian grumbled. "I've already used my blood to draw out his strength, he's definitely hiding here. Don't expect me to use my blood again to search!"

"Is it possible that he isn't in another dimension, but rather sealed within the stone layers?" Li Qi asked cautiously.

"What a joke! Who can survive sealed inside a layer of stone?" Huang Daoxian exclaimed.

"It's not surprising to survive inside a layer of stone; some types of stone can nurture life within them," Zhang Hao said, shaking his head. "All matter caught in spatial turbulence will shatter and disappear. Perhaps it really is as Li Qi said; he might be sealed inside a stone body and unable to escape!"

"Uncle Wang, could you see if you can cut through this layer of rock?"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

Most Gene Weapon incorporate powerful fire and electric shocks; currently, there are few weapons that rely solely on physical destruction. Wang Haoran's ' Martial Cry ' is one of them.

Martial Cry's form resembles a cutting disc, and he kills opponents by cutting at lightning speed. Using it to cut stone bodies is a practical application in daily life.

This weapon was more destructive and faster than Zhang Xuezhou's Stone Transformation Technique. Zhang Xuezhou gave a shout, and a piercing sound rang out as large chunks of rock from the cave fell down.

"These rocks don't appear to be naturally formed; their color differs somewhat from the surrounding rock layers!"

After being cut several times, the colors of the cave walls became clearly visible under strong light, and were also identified by Jiang Ying, who was knowledgeable in geology.

He hesitated for a moment before expressing his opinion.

"This is typical eroded terrain, with limestone layers as the main component, but this particular layer is lava, which shouldn't be mixed in here," Jiang Ying said cautiously. "If we cut along the edges of the two types of stone, it should be easier to cut!"

"It appears to be caused by human intervention!"

Zhang Hao added, affirming Jiang Ying's opinion, and even tapped the different parts of the stone layers with his hand.

"This piece of stone looks like it was welded here later," Zhang Hao said.

"Perhaps it was caused by the spell cast by the owner of this immortal gem!"

Nagesi took a deep breath.

In the past, this was a top-tier master whom he would never have been able to meet in his entire life. But now, such masters are forced to close their doors and eke out a living.

Considering the width of this cave passage and the few Medusas and cavemen who have survived to this day, Nagesi could imagine the panic and disarray of this top expert.

"This could very well have triggered an ability called Lava Eruption, which has sealed this place off," Nagesi pondered for a few seconds before saying.

"It's a pity that Xu Lu isn't here. He has more authority on fire and might be able to research something!"

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and touched it, then forcefully broke off a piece of lava rock with his fingers.

After watching for a few seconds, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, as he found it difficult to judge the caster's strength.

"You have people playing with fire over there?"

Nagesi's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the Immortal Gem that Zodiac had returned to him.

"Don't worry, he's practically useless; he can't compete with you!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied, then instructed Huang Daoxian to search for the source and cast the spell again.

"It seems we still need to dig another ten or eight meters deep!"

Huang Daoxian was much more cautious when casting the spell for the second time, and even made a rough estimate of the distance. This estimate made Wang Haoran was cutting through the stone layers, turn pale, but he gritted his teeth and continued to exert force to drive the weapon.

"Try pushing it inwards after the edges of the stone layer loosen. If there really is a hidden space inside, you should be able to push it directly in!"

If we compare it to the distorted space of North Rehe, some things become easier to understand.

Normal mountains are difficult to push inward, even for strongmen like Zhou Rihui. However, if the internal space can continuously crush everything, these lava rock layers will be pushed forward due to the consumption of energy, until the accumulated rock layers disappear.

As the cut moved further inward, everyone began to work together to push it forward.

Like an old, worn-out piece of cloth, a tearing sound came, accompanied by the slow inward movement of the stone layers.

As some had previously speculated, the original owner of the Immortal Gem was not sealed within the stone layer, but rather a hidden space lay behind it.

When the depth reached eight meters, a new cave space emerged behind the stone wall illuminated by strong light, while the lava rock mass continued to disappear.

Zhou Rihui punched the stone layer, which cracked and then disappeared as if swallowed by Taotie's maw. He jumped back abruptly, looking at Zhang Xuezhou with horror on his face.

"I'll go check it out. If it's easy to get through, I'll take everyone in with me!"

Zhang Xuezhou reached out and grasped the Poison Tree Staff in his palm.

The ability to control speed emerges and rapidly evolves into a domain.

Once Zhang Xuezhou had narrowed his domain to a small area around his body, he lifted his leg and took a step forward.

The world instantly transformed into two colors: black, a dark space, and white, turbulent spatial currents.

These are the black holes and white holes that Huang Daoxian spoke of. Through their chaotic interaction, they create spatial distortions. Once trapped inside, one will be mercilessly shattered, and even one's soul will find it difficult to escape.

Zhang Xuezhou stepped into the dark area, and saw a white wave sweeping down like a crashing wave. He barely managed to dodge it.

Compared to the distortion of the North Rehe, this spatial turbulence is far more violent and ferocious, requiring Zhang Xuezhou to proceed with caution even when he has achieved maximum speed.

As he continued to move forward, a dim, reddish light entered his eyes. Zhang Xuezhou then leaped forward, and a dark underground world appeared before him.
