As the 7,000 Sea Palaces in the Deep Sea gradually calmed down, the various hidden powers in the area gradually left, and the 7,000 Sea Palaces once again returned to peace. Everything seemed to be coming to an end.
However, no one noticed that on an island not far away from the 7,000 Sea Palace, a man dressed in green was sitting cross-legged. He opened his eyes, and there was a wave of power in his eyes that seemed to dominate the world.
"10 years have finally come to an end."
The man opened his eyes gently. In the next moment, the power around the man seemed to come to a standstill. The heavens and earth seemed to submit, and an endless sense of oppression emanated from him. In the face of this power, even the many experts who had appeared later in the 7,000 Sea Palaces would have to concede defeat. This power was enough to look down on the heavens and earth.
Behind the man, there was a huge wheel. It was a green shadow, and it looked like a passageway to reincarnation. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake. At the center of the green patterns, there was a huge ancient totem.
In the center of the totem, there was a thick fog that formed a tattoo that looked like a soul. If Qin Shi had been here, he would have been shocked. This was because he was no stranger to this man. It was Fufeng, the one who had burned the book for him and led him step by step down this path of no return.
The huge wheel totem behind Fufeng was also very familiar. Back then, the tattoo on the shoulder of a woman in Sky Mist looked exactly like this.
Fufeng smiled contentedly. "Hehe, it seems like everything went smoothly. I just did not expect that there would be such a big commotion. Even the power of two Immortal Residences has appeared."
"That little guy … Wherever he goes, there is no peace." The space behind Fufeng warped, and the Old Urchin appeared with a grin.
"Yes, but in the past 10 years, his growth has been unexpected. I originally thought that he would only be able to complete 80%. Who would have thought that all the opportunities would be unearthed by him, and even the Supreme God Talisman would fall into his hands?"
Fufeng said, stroking his beard. In the next moment, there was a sharp glint in his eyes. He stood up and said, "Next, it is time for us to act."
With that, Fufeng waved his hand, and a cloud of wind and clouds scattered. "Find the location of that kid's space. Let's move out."
The Old Urchin didn't waste any words and nodded. The next moment, he began to control space. Space power was extremely difficult to control in front of anyone, but in the Old Urchin's hands, it was like magic. It was effortless. The most shocking thing was that every time the Old Urchin used his power, the power of space actually superimposed. It was like layers of waves that began to rapidly spread in all directions.
A moment later, the Old Urchin's old eyes brightened, "Hehe, that Void Ancient Devil Clan little baby's progress is amazing, actually using a Space Crack Stone to connect to that place. If I hadn't discovered it earlier, this little brat would have caused a great disaster."
"The fourth world?" Fufeng couldn't help but frown. The Old Urchin nodded with a bitter smile.
"Haha, what a blessing. However, now is not the time. Let's go." Fu Feng's figure flashed and he disappeared without a trace.
The Old Kid followed closely behind, and the two of them headed toward a place that no one knew of.
…
Amidst the darkness, spatial vortexes that flowed rapidly all around them were like streaks of electricity, forming beautiful patterns all around.
Qin Shi didn't know how long he had been in this space. He could only feel his entire body aching, and it was only then that he curled his finger in pain and woke up with a start.
"Little brat, you're awake?" The evil spirit's voice rang out, sounding extremely tired.
Qin Shi sat down cross-legged and let out a long breath. Images suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the next moment, Qin Shi's black eyes flashed coldly and turned slightly red. All that flashed through his mind was the pitiful state of the 7,000 Sea Palace.
Although Qin Shi had successfully escaped this time, he knew that he had lost the first battle against the Ming Group, and it had been a crushing defeat. If not for Mu Xiaojing's help, he definitely wouldn't have had the chance to escape. This time, Qin Gong had sacrificed too much, and his eyes were red with anger. "Little brat, don't think too much.
"Brat, don't think too much about it," said the Wretch-Devil indifferently. "Nobody in this world can stop Zhe Tian. The fact that you were able to leave alive is already a testament to your ability. Besides, you're still young, and you have plenty of time. As long as we can find a place where there's no one around and focus on cultivation, I'll accompany you when you return. We'll wipe out the Dark Squads."
Qin Shi nodded. He naturally understood what the evil spirit was saying. This time, he had completely realized how insignificant he was, and how powerless he was in front of Zhe Tian. The Life and Death Realm was a level that made him feel oppressed.
But very quickly, Qin Shi felt relieved. Back then, the Mysterious Spirit Realm, the Nine Heavens Realm, and then the Domain Realm and Boundary Realm had all suppressed Qin Shi to the point where he couldn't breathe. But now, Qin Shi had the power to look down on them. Therefore, Qin Shi believed, and always believed, that it wouldn't be long before he too entered the Life and Death Realm, the Rebirth Realm, and even the Ethereal Realm.
But there was one thing that he didn't dare agree with the evil spirit, and that was his time. He didn't have much time, and he had too many things to do.
"Now, do you know where we are going?" Qin Shi stood up and said indifferently in the spatial tunnel.
The blood shaman's voice resounded, "I don't know. Because the spatial tunnel is not stable, we can only open one end. As for the other end, it's completely up to fate. It's even possible that there is no other end. Along the way, we will also run into countless spatial storms."
"I see."
Qin Shi nodded thoughtfully. He had long since prepared for this kind of result, but even so, he had to do it.
"Kid, don't look down on the spatial storms I'm talking about. The ones you've run into before are of the lowest grade. You should know that this time, we are in a two-dimensional space, and the power of the spatial storms will stack up. Moreover, the intensity of the storms will be very high. It's very possible that there will be some Space Beasts, some of which have lived for tens of thousands of years, and some of which are as old as the heavens." The blood shaman warned again.
Only then did Qin Shi nod solemnly. He also knew that the power of space was one of the most powerful strange powers in the world. Some of the powerful spatial storms even had the power to destroy the world. Even Life and Death Realm experts might not be able to resist them.
"In short, we should be careful. First, determine our direction, and if we can't, then we'll think of a way to get out of here." Qin Shi said indifferently.
The blood shaman nodded. Only then did Qin Shi stand up. No matter what, he had to leave this spatial tunnel first. However, just as he stood up, his black pupils suddenly emitted a dim light. From his palms, several fragments of power appeared. Each of them was emitting a faint divine light, but this divine light was extremely weak.
Monstrous anger and guilt rose in Qin Shi's black pupils once again. "These divine items … they've all become like this because they tried to save me."
"Boy, it's fine. They're just damaged. They're not completely destroyed. As long as you reach Life Realm and pour in your life force for a period of time, you'll be able to recover them. You might even be able to recover them if you run into some fortuitous encounters. Burning Book, as long as you refine Gray Flame Spirit Recovery Pill, Burning Book's power should be able to completely recover," the evil spirit said faintly.
Qin Shi nodded and temporarily put away the divine items. He had already made up his mind to awaken them.
Qin Shi's group of three traveled through the spatial tunnel for a very long time. Along the way, just as the blood shaman had said, the three of them encountered many spatial storms. Fortunately, they weren't strong, and they managed to deal with them all. In half a month, Qin Shi's group of three traveled tens of thousands of miles along the spatial tunnel. However, there were still no signs of an exit. Qin Shi's face gradually darkened.
"Blood shaman, is there no way to break this space from the inside?"
Qin Shi solemnly realized that this spatial tunnel might really be like what the blood shaman had said. There was no exit at all.
The blood shaman shook his head helplessly. "There's no other way. If it's just a single layer of spatial power, I can still tear it apart. However, it's impossible for two layers to overlap, because we're trapped in countless spatial rings. Even if I tear apart this layer, there'll be another one, and there'll be an endless number of layers. Unless someone can find us from the outside world and tear apart the space to save us."
Qin Shi could not help but frown. Wait for someone to save them here?
The possibility was too low.
"Is there no other way?"
"The other way is to wait. Wait for a spatial storm. When the spatial storms collide, there's a high possibility that the space will become chaotic and reverse. At that time, if someone happens to cast spatial power nearby, there's a high possibility that this power will flow over and open up a tunnel," the blood shaman said helplessly.
Qin Shi sank into silence. These two methods were very passive.
This was not the result that Qin Shi wanted, but there was nothing he could do.
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. "Looks like we can only slowly explore now."
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. Qin Shi's frown deepened. He was gradually losing his patience. In this spatial tunnel, every place looked the same. Qin Shi even had the illusion that he was going in circles. The most helpless thing was that the blood shaman actually told him that it was very possible. Due to the nature of space, they could always be rotating in a circular space.
This completely drove Qin Shi crazy.
However, just as Qin Shi was at his wit's end, a violent vortex suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
When the spatial vortex appeared, the blood shaman furrowed his brows. This was because the vortex contained an extremely powerful force.
"Kid, be careful. It's a high-level spatial storm!"
Qin Shi's black eyes darkened. He clenched his fists and became serious.
From the approaching vortex, Qin Shi felt a strong threatening aura.
This force was too powerful, so powerful that it was not something that Qin Shi could handle.
Bang!
