Chapter 2438: Beyond The Wall (1)
Yun Lintian’s group returned to the Nine Firmament Realm to recover. A week later, they regrouped and headed to the Primordial God Forsaken Realm.
As they arrived, the World Tree rustled gently, greeting everyone.
Yun Lintian immediately saw Ning Yue sitting with her back leaning against the World Tree, her eyes closed. Her entire being seemed to be one with the tree, and her aura resonated with the World Tree’s.
What surprised Yun Lintian most was Ning Yue’s profound strength. She had actually reached the God Ascension Realm, and the original little sprout within her body was now growing into a half-meter-tall tree, emitting a unique aura that belonged to the World Tree.
“What happened to her?” Yun Lintian asked as he looked at Lin Yitong.
“She has been cultivating the little World Tree in her body with the guidance of the World Tree,” Lin Yitong said softly. “It’s incredible, isn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Yun Lintian nodded. “I feel like she’s not a human but a tree instead.”
“Why are you here?” Lin Yitong asked.
“I plan to go out. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. This is the only way to go forward,” Yun Lintian responded.
Lin Yitong’s expression changed slightly. “Wouldn’t it be too risky?”
“I have to,” Yun Lintian said.
Rustle-
The World Tree suddenly extended its branch to touch Yun Lintian’s head. Yun Lintian immediately felt a gentle and warm current pouring into his body. He could see clearly that the World Tree was supporting his decision.
“Thank you,” Yun Lintian caressed the tree branch gently.
Lin Yitong took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, “I won’t stop you, but you must be careful.”
“I will,” Yun Lintian responded solemnly.
He walked up to the barrier and looked at the devastating land outside. There was nothing but endless darkness and broken asteroids.
Yun Lintian turned to look at everyone and said, “I’m heading out.”
Everyone looked at him with worried expressions, especially his women. They were reluctant to let him go.
Yun Lintian turned to face the barrier and reached out to touch it. Instantly, a tunnel appeared, leading to the world outside. Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate to rush into the tunnel with Gui Xiao and Hei Shou on his shoulders.
The tunnel was like a vortex, swirling with chaotic energies and fragmented laws. Yun Lintian felt a sense of disorientation as he traversed through it, as if his very being were being pulled apart and reassembled. He held his breath, focusing on maintaining his composure amid the turbulent forces.
Then, just as suddenly as it began, the journey ended. Yun Lintian stumbled out of the tunnel, his senses reeling. He found himself standing on a barren asteroid, the ground beneath his feet cold and unforgiving.
He looked around, his eyes struggling to adjust to the dim light. The world beyond the wall was a desolate wasteland, a stark contrast to the vibrant and ordered Primal Chaos he knew. Endless darkness stretched in every direction, punctuated only by the faint glow of distant stars and the occasional flash of chaotic energy.
Broken asteroids, remnants of some ancient celestial catastrophe, floated aimlessly in the void, their jagged edges a testament to the destructive forces that held sway here.
The air was thick with a chilling coldness, a coldness that seeped into his bones and threatened to extinguish his very life force.
Yun Lintian shivered, not from the cold, but from the sheer alienness of this place. The laws of the Primal Chaos, the familiar framework of reality he had always known, were distorted and fragmented here. He felt a sense of disorientation, as if he had been cast adrift in a sea of chaos.
He tried to sense the direction, to orient himself, but the chaotic laws confounded his senses. Up and down, left and right—all meaning seemed to dissolve in this bewildering realm. He was truly alone, adrift in a sea of endless darkness.
With a deep breath, Yun Lintian calmed his mind as the tunnel closed behind him. He decided to test his connection to the Primal Chaos. He focused his mind, summoning the Gate of Beyond Heaven. To his relief, the familiar gate shimmered into existence, a beacon of hope in the desolate landscape.
He could still return to the Primal Chaos whenever he wished. This knowledge brought a sense of comfort, a reassurance that he was not completely cut off from the world he knew.
Yun Lintian turned to look at his people behind the barrier. “I’m good. I will leave now.” “Be careful, husband,” Lin Xinyao said, and the other women followed suit.
Yun Lintian smiled and turned around, flying away. His figure soon vanished from everyone’s sight.
Yue Yun retracted her gaze and said, “Let’s go back. All of you must not slack off from now on.”
“Yes,” Lin Xinyao and the others responded solemnly.
Yun Lintian slowly flew forward with no direction. His vigilance heightened as he looked around, trying to find a possible enemy.
He flew past broken asteroids, their jagged edges reaching out like claws. He navigated through fields of chaotic energy, their unpredictable currents threatening to disrupt his flight.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred in the distance. The entire space rippled, causing Yun Lintian to stop in his place.
At this moment, two figures could be seen fighting. One was a woman in a tattered robe, and the other was a humanoid Shadow Demon.
Yun Lintian watched the distant battle with narrowed eyes, his curiosity piqued.
The woman, despite her tattered attire, exuded an aura of resilience and defiance. Her every move was infused with a raw power that resonated through the chaotic void.
The Shadow Demon, a creature of pure darkness, was a formidable opponent, its movements swift and unpredictable, its attacks laced with a corrosive energy that threatened to consume
all light.
“Enemy…” Gui Xiao said slowly.
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly, and the Heaven Piercing Sword appeared in his hand.
As the two figures drew closer, their battle grew more intense. The woman, her movements fluid and graceful, wielded a slender sword that shimmered with celestial light. Her strikes were precise and deadly, each one aimed at vital points on the Shadow Demon’s form.
The Shadow Demon, however, was a master of evasion, its form shifting and distorting, making it a difficult target to hit. It retaliated with dark energy blasts, each one carrying the power to corrupt and destroy.
Suddenly, as if sensing his presence, the woman and the Shadow Demon turned and charged toward Yun Lintian, their combined might converging into a single, devastating attack…
