Giant meteorites, each no less than ten thousand meters in diameter, floated here, forming a vast forest. Bai Wu'an fought against numerous extraterrestrial demons here, finally managing to kill the three most persistent ones and shake off the other pursuers. Only then did he have time to reminisce.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but no matter where he went, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Bai Wu'an frowned and decided to put the question aside for now, deciding that it wouldn't be too late to study it carefully after returning to the mainland.
By turning his head slightly from here, he could see the Central Plains. It was a vast land stretching over 100,000 miles in length and width, almost entirely dark from this vantage point, with only the areas illuminated by the golden sun showing a bright glow.
He decided to go back, but before he actually set off, he first raised his sleeve and looked inside to see how the two prisoners trapped in the "bottomless black hole" were doing.
But that one glance was enough to make his eyes widen in fury!
What did he see?
His meticulously designed, painstakingly constructed secret realm, the "bottomless black hole," used to torture his captives and prisoners, is now...
Those two people actually ruined it!
The two guys seemed to be quite skilled. Instead of breaking down the spatial barrier of his secret realm to escape, they seized the core pillar of his secret realm and destroyed it, causing the entire space to collapse completely!
For a moment, Bai Wu'an's heart bled. Destruction is easy, but reconstruction is difficult, not to mention that the secret realm space is now shattered so badly that his sleeve universe is filled with fragments. Just cleaning up these debris and rubble will cost him an unknown amount of money!
And all of this is thanks to the two people in this place!
A surge of rage filled Bai Wu'an's chest, but at this moment, he had no time to grieve for his losses. In his vision, Yun Chu'an and Ye Jinglan had once again stumbled into one of the terrifying torture chambers he had meticulously constructed, and now they had found its core and were about to launch an attack!
The potential losses made him look almost terrified for a moment.
No, damn it, stay away from the core of my secret realm!
Overwhelmed by fear, he disregarded any finesse and immediately cast a spell, throwing Yun Chuan and Ye Jinglan out of the secret realm!
Inside the secret realm, Yun Chu'an and his companion had just located the core pillar. Overjoyed, they were about to act when a massive force swept over them, engulfing their bodies. The next moment, the world spun around them!
Yun Chuan was thrown out of that space. As soon as he came out, he felt that the surrounding environment was quite unfamiliar and the air pressure was low, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He circulated his internal energy to adjust himself, barely managing to adapt to the completely new environment. After carefully surveying his surroundings, he was utterly shocked. "You Lin Zai Lin miss you empty Lin Zai Zai, are you there yet…?"
Where did this come from? Is this still the world of cultivation?
The background was a dim starry sky, and around it was a huge meteorite with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters, which fell and scattered in the turbulent flow of spiritual energy, causing chaos.
Many extraterrestrial demons of varying sizes and shapes, but equally weak in strength, hid their heads and backs in front of and behind these meteorites, like hunters or wild beasts lurking in a dark forest, ready to pounce on their prey at any moment.
But these hateful gazes were not enough to alarm Yun Chuan. What truly terrified him was the figure directly in front of him, a Qin Kingdom Nascent Soul Pillar General, Bai Wu'an, dressed in blood-stained white robes, his eyes now contorted with ferocity and rage!
The guy's angry expression startled Yun Chuan, but at the same time it made him realize that he and Ye Jinglan had just done the right thing, and this guy was really in pain now!
"You deserve to die!"
Bai Wu'an muttered something and swung his sword, intending to strike him. At that critical moment, Ye Jinglan shouted from afar, "Take this!"
The next instant, the storm formed by spiritual energy pushed away the huge meteorite with a diameter of ten thousand meters!
She did it on purpose. Although the power of this action was not high, the range of influence was extremely wide. Many small meteorites around were swept away and scattered. The huge meteorites collided with each other, and the rumbling sound spread in the storm formed by the spiritual power. The damage was not great, but the noise was earth-shattering. In the blink of an eye, many extraterrestrial demons around all turned their eyes to this place!
"Hungry……"
A colossal giant-headed demon opened its blood-red maw, its chaotic will filled only with greed. It couldn't distinguish which threat was greater or lesser, and seeing the even larger and purer spiritual energy emanating from Bai Wu'an's body, it immediately swooped down, opened its mouth, and prepared to swallow him whole.
"roll--!"
Bai Wu'an roared, his furious voice seemingly capable of shattering the massive meteorite with a diameter of ten thousand meters. He swung his sword backhand, unleashing a deafening sword light with terrifying power that instantly cleaved the colossal giant-headed demon in two.
Even knowing about the opponent's many glorious and amazing achievements, in his subconscious mind, the extraterrestrial demon with the strength of a Golden Core was definitely a greater threat than Yun Chu'an, whose cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
However, this gave Yun Chuan a chance to catch his breath.
Taking advantage of the moment he turned to attack the giant demon, Yun Chu'an transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped away into the distance, hiding behind a giant mountain with a diameter of ten thousand meters. He then held his breath and quickly disappeared from sight.
Bai Wu'an turned his head and looked back, and when he saw that he had acted this way, he sneered, his voice full of endless mockery: "What, do you want to play hide-and-seek with me?"
He stepped forward with his sword drawn, focused his gaze and chanted an incantation. With a sweep of his divine sense, he locked onto Yun Chu'an's current location: "No matter where you hide, you will find no place to hide in front of me!"
He gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could tear him to pieces right now. Yun Chu'an leaped and bounded among the rocks, his heart filled with urgency. Even though he could control lightning, it was almost a pipe dream to shake off a Nascent Soul cultivator who was determined to pursue him.
If they don't get rid of him, with Yun Chuan's current strength, even if he joins forces with Ye Jinglan, there is absolutely no way they can contend with him!
We must find a way!
His heart was burning with rage. He looked up at the sky and suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He realized that the overwhelming hordes of extraterrestrial demons were all targeting Bai Wu'an as their primary enemy.
Immediately, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Oh, I see. These guys see him as a more delicious meal because of his higher cultivation level!
Despite his low cultivation level, at this moment, it might actually be an advantage for him in the face of these extraterrestrial demons!
In this case……
In a flash, many thoughts raced through his mind. Under Bai Wu'an's pursuit, returning safely to the surface was virtually impossible.
Moreover, it's unlikely anyone would be there to help, so it's better to...
Let's take a gamble in a more dangerous place!
With this thought in mind, instead of turning back down to the Central Plains, he turned around and rushed towards the higher sky!
This place is thousands of miles above the surface of the Central Plains. The air is extremely thin, and the surrounding spiritual energy is not only violent but also extremely polluted. When those forces grazed Yun Chu'an's body, he even felt his skin burning with pain.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, continuing his rapid ascent. Above, a colossal extraterrestrial demon lay still, seemingly asleep. The aura it emitted was vast and powerful, far beyond what Yun Chu'an, with his cultivation level, could possibly provoke.
However, glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Wu'an rushing after him. Immediately disregarding the danger, lightning crackled on his guandao, and he charged straight at the back of the enormous extraterrestrial demon, nearly a thousand meters in diameter—
Chapter 665 Seeking External Help!
Shila-
The once invincible "Three Thousand Springs" left only a shallow mark on the back of this behemoth. But this level of pain was enough to awaken it. The huge creature slowly stretched out its body, revealing itself to be a Cyclops, over two thousand meters tall, with a single horn on its head and only one enormous eye on its face.
His hazy eyes drooped slightly, trying to find the presence that had unknowingly awakened him from his deep sleep.
But soon, his chaotic and greedy will was completely drawn to a tiny but delicious creature.
That pure nascent soul, like a delicious cake exuding a tempting aroma, attracted a ravenous demon who had been starving for days. The two-thousand-meter-tall cyclops immediately forgot the pain of being woken up and reached out and opened its mouth to strike Bai Wu'an!
When Bai Wu'an realized the level of cultivation of the enormous cyclops in front of him, his face suddenly turned green.
A fluctuation at the Nascent Soul level!
This is a demon from beyond the realm with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Damn!
He gritted his teeth, filled with intense resentment, and cursed Yun Chu'an, thinking to himself, "Why did you have to provoke such a thing!"
He tried to dodge it, but the enormous cyclops's divine sense had already locked onto him. Helpless, Bai Wu'an gritted his teeth and had no choice but to temporarily raise his sword to meet the enemy.
Although their opponents were far stronger than themselves, and although they might have expended considerable energy, they were still inside the protective atmospheric layer, and the heaven-protecting array was still suppressing these extraterrestrial demons, so…
He was actually quite confident of winning!
On the other side, Yun Chu'an woke up the largest behemoth, then turned and ran away without stopping for a moment.
Several extraterrestrial demons, resembling giant mosquitoes or mutated vultures, surrounded him. However, these beings, whose strength was only at the Golden Core level, posed no threat to him whatsoever. He swung his sword and used lightning to kill them, then flew dozens of kilometers away in the blink of an eye and hid behind a boulder.
He was breathing rapidly. Although he could hardly absorb any clean spiritual energy high in the sky, he was closer to the sun, and the golden crow's rays allowed his special physique to still function, providing him with a continuous source of power.
He had just caught his breath when a sudden gust of wind swept around him, and a figure appeared beside him. Yun Chu'an was startled and turned to look. When he saw that it wasn't Bai Wu'an, but Ye Jinglan, he became even more anxious: "Big sister, why did you chase after me!"
Opposite her, Ye Jinglan was wearing only a black sports vest, practically shirtless, wielding a curved sword in her left hand and a double-edged battle axe in her right, exclaiming repeatedly, "These weapons are so useful! I can take down those demons with a single strike..."
Upon hearing his words, she was taken aback, then said, "I'll protect you. It's safer if we're together!"
Yun Chu'an said anxiously, "Safety my foot! At a time like this, splitting up to escape is the safest thing to do! At least one of us can escape, then we can go and ask for reinforcements and think of other ways!"
He was so anxious, but Ye Jinglan shook her head slightly and said, "No, Chu'an, do you really think we can escape from the pursuit of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
“You may not have been here before, but I have been here before to escape being hunted down—this place is thousands of miles below the surface, and the density of extraterrestrial demons decreases the further down you go.”
"At that time, will our mere Golden Core cultivation level really be able to shake off a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Yun Chu'an was speechless, unable to answer. He had only been cultivating for a short time and truly didn't understand these things. He immediately gave up thinking and asked, "Then, elder sister, what do you suggest we do?"
Ye Jinglan remained calm and composed, saying, "It's simple, make a big fuss and find outside help!"
Yun Chu'an was taken aback, then heard Ye Jinglan say, "This place is bound to have many powerful righteous cultivators who routinely come to clean up the pollution from the extraterrestrial demons. As long as we encounter one of them or do something to attract their attention, we will be safe!"
Yun Chu'an's eyes widened: "Huh? There's such a thing?"
Ye Jinglan nodded vigorously: "Yes! Because this is the front line against the extraterrestrial demons, no cultivators are allowed to kill each other here. Guess how strict this rule is? Back then, the evil cultivators of the Corpse Driving Sect would immediately send people to exterminate the extraterrestrial demons as a show of their stance once they realized they were in danger of being wiped out."
"Because of this, the righteous cultivators delayed for a long time and couldn't make up their minds to wipe them out. Later, it was the Qingyun Sect that took the lead and forced many righteous sects to cooperate with them, which finally allowed them to completely destroy the Corpse Driving Sect!"
Her candid conversation and the secrets she revealed astonished Yun Chu'an. He hadn't expected that the evil cultivators of the Corpse-Driving Sect would have done such things in secret. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
“So,” she squeezed Yun Chu’an’s hand, “now, it’s time for us to make a big splash. As long as we run into one or two Nascent Soul stage seniors with broad spiritual senses, or even a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, we’ll be saved!”
She finished speaking quickly, then, without further delay, took Yun Chu'an's hand and turned to leave. Yun Chu'an's gaze drifted into the distance. Although his cultivation time was still short, he already knew some basic common sense.
For example, the Integration Stage is very close to the end of the cultivation path. After that comes the Tribulation Transcending Stage.
Once the tribulation is over, the cultivator can ascend to the immortal realm and become an immortal.
However, most of the powerful figures in the Tribulation Transcending stage are in seclusion and will not easily emerge until they are truly confident in overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, the Integration Stage is roughly the pinnacle for cultivators who are currently active on all the continents.
Upon hearing Ye Jinglan's words, Yun Chuan couldn't help but show a hint of longing on his face.
A powerful being in the fusion stage!
Will I have the opportunity to meet such a great person today?
He didn't know, but in any case, now was the time to act.
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded, before leaping forward and speeding towards the area with the highest density of extraterrestrial demons.
Yun Chu'an glanced at Ye Jinglan's profile; her beautiful face was flushed and dotted with sweat. Knowing that even with divine weapons, she must have expended a lot of energy just now, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Elder sister, don't be stingy with the spirit stones I gave you last time; use them if you need to!"
Ye Jinglan looked at him and suddenly chuckled: "You're no good at talking about me, are you?"
Yun Chu'an said, "You don't need to worry about me. I can recover my strength by sunbathing. The important thing is you, big sister. Your fighting power is the most important!"
Before Ye Jinglan could say anything more, a roar suddenly came from behind. That familiar voice, belonging to Bai Wu'an, made both of them change color instantly.
Without pausing for further words, Ye Jinglan leaped forward and began absorbing the spiritual energy of the mid-grade spirit stones in her spirit stone bag. In one gulp, hundreds of spirit stones were completely consumed.
Yun Chu'an also sped along, taking a moment to turn his head and look back. From a distance of more than ten miles, he saw Bai Wu'an rapidly approaching.
Bai Wu'an was in a bad state at the moment. His hair was disheveled, and his white clothes were covered with black and red blood. It was impossible to tell whether it was his or the blood of the terrifying extraterrestrial demon in the shape of a one-horned, one-eyed giant that he had just killed.
Anyway, his spiritual energy was scattered and he could hardly control his spiritual energy fluctuations. So at this moment, his aura leaked out and spread, announcing to all the demons in the sky that he was a weak Nascent Soul cultivator, which made them all go crazy and rush to open their bloody mouths to bite this man!
Those giant demons, as large as small mountains and with a radius of hundreds of meters, opened their blood-red maws and roared out earth-shattering soul shockwaves; those mosquito-shaped demons, which came like dark clouds and covered the sky, rushed down one after another, trying to suck his blood.
Not to mention, there are all sorts of strange-looking guys, each with at least the strength of the Golden Core stage, roaring and rushing over, all wanting a share of this pie!
"roll!"
Bai Wu'an roared incessantly. Although his condition was not very stable at the moment, his overwhelming strength was still far beyond what these demons could stop. With a swing of his long sword, a sword light of ten thousand feet appeared. All the demons who dared to block his way were killed with a single sword strike. Even those giant skull demons with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage were either killed or seriously injured by this sword strike!
Chapter 666 Fellow Daoist Bai, what are you doing!
Bai Wu'an was extremely anxious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was incredibly agitated. With his strength, he couldn't possibly stay in this dangerous space for long, because the density of extraterrestrial demons here was too high, and he couldn't withstand the strain.
He must eliminate Yun Chuan as soon as possible, capture Ye Jinglan, and then return to Qin immediately!
However, he no longer had the chance to launch a sneak attack. How easy would it be to capture Ye Jinglan safely? Although many of the demons in the high heavens were heading straight for Ye Jinglan, intending to devour her, they were nothing compared to those who were besieging Bai Wu'an.
She was like a fish, dodging and darting through the vast ocean of demons. She only needed to occasionally repel one or two demons that rushed up from the side to continue her swift journey.
On the contrary, Bai Wu'an had no choice but to fight his way through, using force to eliminate the swarming demons. He was not as good at high speed as Ye Jinglan to begin with, and now that the odds had shifted, he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Although the distance between the two seemed to be constantly closing, it was visibly that Ye Jinglan had approached a gigantic demon that was a hundred meters tall, with a body as smooth and solid as obsidian, and whose terrifying strength was unknown!
Ye Jinglan sped forward, her heart pounding. She rode the storm upwards, then drew her bow downwards. The boundless storm gathered on the bowstring, and then the arrow shot downwards—
The raging arrow struck the enormous demon squarely on the forehead, carving a crater less than half a meter deep. Such terrifying defensive power astonished Ye Jinglan. After equipping herself with a brand-new weapon, enhanced by its power, this arrow would normally be capable of leveling a small mountain. If it had struck Bai Wu'an directly, it likely would have inflicted minor injuries on him as well.
However, such a blow was almost unable to break through the defenses of this behemoth.
This guy's strength far exceeded her expectations.
She was surprised, but then overjoyed. Without hesitation, she turned and flew away.
The colossal creature had been awakened; it was a condensed stone giant. Its body also resonated with terrifying fluctuations at the level of a cultivator. It swept its thoughts around, then locked onto Bai Wu'an's location, stretched out its massive body, and charged towards him.
hateful!
