Luo Tianyi did not respond, but the illusory figure solidified.
She can't have really agreed, Ning Xuan thought.
This is bad! he thought, rapidly retreating. But it was still a step too late.
BOOM!
The mont the sound erupted, Ning Xuan was blasted away like a cannonball. The space behind him trembled, cracked, and burst apart before he vanished.
Heavenly Charm reacted and chased after him, only to see the boundless universe. Without the slightest hesitation, she started to rush out.
BOOM!
She slamd solidly against a barrier. She was thrown back, falling so hard she saw stars.
Just as she was about to explode with rage, a voice said, "Oh no, this is bad!"
As Heavenly Charm reeled in bewildernt, another boom erupted.
BOOM!
A Stele Forest suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn't help but be startled. How did this thing appear here?!
The next mont, she saw one beautiful woman after another.
"What's going on here?" Heavenly Charm muttered, utterly baffled.
...
anwhile, Ning Xuan had been kicked by Luo Tianyi straight into a spaceti tunnel.
"Fuck! Luo Tianyi, what is wrong with you?!"
Ning Xuan was completely stunned. It was one thing for her not to help, but now she was actively causing trouble! This tunnel doesn't look like it leads to any of the five spaces Luo Tianyi showed earlier!
Ning Xuan imdiately sat cross-legged, preparing to face the spaceti turbulence in the tunnel by himself. Soon, he sighed. The spaceti turbulence contained within a tunnel created by a single kick is simply not sothing I can fight against at my current level.
But then, a smile spread across Ning Xuan's face. This won't be enough to stop .
"Heh heh, you didn't think of this, did you? I have a treasure that can suppress this..." Ning Xuan hadn't finished his sentence when he froze.
He had intended to use the Stele Forest to suppress the spaceti turbulence, but now, the Stele Forest was gone. I don't even need to think to know who was behind this.
"Luo Tianyi, I'm not done with you!" Ning Xuan roared, feeling a sudden urge to find Luo Tianyi's true form, tie her up, and give her a sound thrashing.
If Luo Tianyi had only taken the Stele Forest, I would have actually thanked her. Si Lanyi and the other won are inside it. Without them, I could proceed more freely. But the Stele Forest also held all my treasures! The Cloud Floating Sword, the Ink Jade Pouch, the Demon Brush, and everything else. Even Sister ng Luo's Divine Soul and the World Tree fruit were in there. Now, it's all gone. Luo Tianyi is unbelievably treacherous!
Forget it, I'll just have to take it one step at a ti. Looking back at the tunnel behind him, Ning Xuan felt his anger completely deflate. If the Stele Forest was gone, so be it.
He wasn't worried about Si Lanyi and the others, or even ng Luo's Divine Soul and the World Tree fruit. With Luo Tianyi's unimaginable abilities, she'll definitely take good care of them. Heh heh, I should probably thank her. Now that I'm empty-handed and have nothing, I feel completely unburdened.
With that, Ning Xuan simply lay down in the spaceti tunnel. He rested his hands behind his head and even crossed his legs, completely free from anxiety and fear of the unknown.
This nonchalant attitude caused a young woman in so other space to crush the orb in front of her.
Out of sight, out of mind, she thought. As for where that guy ends up, who the hell cares!
Within the spaceti tunnel, Ning Xuan leaped back to his feet.
"I knew you were secretly watching! I did that just to piss you off!" A smug, scheming grin spread across Ning Xuan's face.
However, as he looked ahead again, his smile remained, but his eyes were filled with vigilance. He might not fear the unknown, but he certainly wouldn't be careless. He didn't want to make a spectacle of himself.
「In an unknown world, amidst unknown mountains.」
At the center stood a peak far taller than all the rest. At this mont, atop the mountain's summit, a grand sacrificial ceremony was underway in a vast square. Within a massive cauldron, waves of blood qi surged violently. In front of the cauldron, seven white-haired old n stood in a row. They all had towering fras and sinewy, coiled muscles. Dressed only in animal skin skirts, their robust bodies were clearly not those of young n. Behind the seven, scantily clad n and won knelt on the ground, their expressions solemn.
BOOM!
The seven old n suddenly knelt in unison, shouting, "The Grand Sacrifice to Heaven now begins!"
「Within the spaceti tunnel.」
Ning Xuan's body suddenly tensed. He had heard a familiar phrase.
"Through the aeons of Ancient Tis, when life first erged... Proud and self-contained, embracing simplicity and truth..."
The Divine Chant of the Great Dao? It must be an illusion. This is a spaceti tunnel; how could I possibly hear that voice? Ning Xuan murmured, dismissing it.
Yet the voice grew louder and louder.
It's real! No, I have to go take a look!
Seeing that the spaceti tunnel showed no signs of stopping, he steeled himself, reared back his fist, and smashed it down!
「In the unknown world, at the center of the mountains.」
The seven elders performing the sacrifice suddenly looked up at the sky in unison.
BOOM!
A massive rumble echoed from the High Heaven.
"It's working! Continue!" The elder in the very middle was invigorated, his voice rising an octave.
Imdiately, the chanting of the crowd grew louder.
BOOM!
The rumbling from the High Heaven seed to respond in kind. This ti, without any prompting from the elders, the chanting grew in volu once more.
BOOM! RUMBLE!
High above, the sounds grew more and more frequent, closing in on them from right above their heads.
Then, all of a sudden...
CRACK! A sound like lightning tearing through heaven and earth!
CLANG!
The great cauldron at the forefront seed to have been struck by lightning, emitting a sharp ringing sound. The seven elders and the crowd grew uneasy, not knowing what had just happened.
Until...
"What the hell? Who's so inconsiderate, tossing animal carcasses around... Huh? Why does this blood have a sweet taste?" a voice suddenly rang out.
Behind the elders, so of the crowd exchanged glances, while others looked around frantically. The seven elders in front, however, all stared at the great cauldron. The voice was clearly emanating from within.
They looked at each other, unsure of what to do. The reason for the sacrifice was the perpetual drought. We prepared for so long to gather the exotic beasts, and now... instead of praying for rain, we've summoned a creature that can speak? What in the world is going on?!
"Elder Brother, what is happening?" one of the elders whispered to the one in the middle. The other five also fixed their gazes on him.
"Stay calm! Youngest..." the eldest began, jerking his chin towards the elder on the far right.
"Elder Brother, do you think... it could be a god descending to the mortal realm?" the youngest asked in a low voice as he drew closer. Although he usually feared neither heaven nor earth, he couldn't help but feel unnerved by such a bizarre occurrence during the grand ceremony.
"We were praying for rain," the eldest said, consoling him. "If a god had truly descended, rain should have been the first thing to fall."
"That's true!" The youngest continued to move forward.
Just at that mont, a voice sounded from above his head. "What the hell is going on here?!"
He looked up to see a blood-covered, humanoid monster stretching out its tongue to lick the fresh blood.
