The formation left by the Array Emperor and reinforced by Shangguan Xinyao was eaten like food before the Space-Time Worm.
Dog Sheng deduced from this—could this fellow eat through any barrier similar to formations?
The answer he got—yes!
This was extremely satisfying. After all, the various plane strongholds on the battlefield all had invisible defensive barriers. Unless war was declared, there was fundamentally no way to break through them.
Now that the Space-Time Worm could do it, didn’t that mean he could freely enter and exit the various plane strongholds?
“Hehehe!”
Jun Changxiao laughed wickedly, “You planes on the battlefield better not provoke me, or I’ll immediately visit your homes.”
“…”
The System said, “Host really resembles a villain!”
After the space-time tunnel connecting the two planes was patched up, Jun Changxiao relaxed.
As long as they couldn’t get in, with the Space-Time Worm he could reopen a hole and enter—completely shifting from passive to active.
“Can you break through a space-time tunnel and then block up the entrance?” Jun Changxiao asked.
His meaning was to dig a hole, then patch up the source point while continuing to dig from the other end—this way he could enter while enemies couldn’t follow through the tunnel.
“Yes.”
The Space-Time Worm said, “However… digging and patching holes consumes a lot of energy and will leave me in a weakened state for a period of time.”
Jun Changxiao didn’t mind. As long as the entrance could be blocked, the Soul Clan definitely couldn’t enter.
“Rest for now.”
“In a few days, dig a hole to the Soul Clan Continent.”
With the Space-Time Worm matured and possessing the ability to break through space-time tunnels, he naturally wanted to impatiently head to the Soul Clan Continent to explore what kind of world it actually was.
Of course.
Jun Changxiao’s intention was merely to scout the enemy, so he planned to go alone.
The sect would still focus on cultivation. Once they had enough Wuwangs, Wuhuangs, and top-tier power, then they could play properly with them.
With Eternal Sect’s current strength, crushing any top sect was no problem, but making enemies with an entire world would be a bit difficult. So they also lacked the ability to attack Soul Clan Continent.
…
Jun Changxiao used the Super Transmission Array to return to Eternal Sect, then summoned Yuan Gongzi and the others, telling them about going to Soul Clan Continent and instructing them to continue working hard to develop the sect in his absence.
“Sect Master.”
Li Qingyang said gravely, “Soul Clan Continent must be extremely dangerous. This disciple is willing to accompany you!”
“I’ll go too!” Ye Xingchen said.
He wasn’t worried that Jun Changxiao would encounter danger—mainly he wanted to go to other planes seeking thrills, improving himself through extensive combat.
“No need.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head, “This Seat’s purpose this time is to scout the enemy. One person is sufficient.”
He had dual Sword and Martial Saint cultivation, plus trump cards like the Blade of Inevitable Victory—naturally he feared nothing in Soul Clan Continent. But how strong this world was remained unknown, so he absolutely couldn’t casually send disciples to take risks.
The System complained, “In other words, you just don’t want to bring burdens along.”
Yuan Gongzi had integrated into Eternal Sect, with many internal affairs handled by him. Li Qingyang and Xiao Zueji had also become proficient in pill and equipment refining operations.
So after arranging everything, Jun Changxiao prepared Liu Wanshi’s fried rice and Lan Kang’s fine wine before heading to Eternal City again.
On this trip to Soul Clan Continent, who knew when he’d return.
So before his departure, the sect’s higher-ups and disciples all came to see him off.
“Sect Master!”
Liu Wanshi said tearfully, “You must come back alive.”
“…”
As the disciples saw him off, Jun Changxiao entered the transmission array.
Just as he was about to transmit, he heard Lu Qianqian’s voice, “This clearly concerns the entire continent—why does Sect Master have to bear it alone?”
“Because…”
Jun Changxiao paused, then smiled, “This Seat wants to monopolize Soul Clan Continent’s resources.”
Joining forces with Xingyun Continent’s top martial artists to oppose Soul Clan Continent would undoubtedly be easier, but Jun Changxiao preferred enjoying alone rather than sharing.
Besides.
The space-time tunnel was sealed—temporarily removing that worry.
He held the initiative with the Space-Time Worm. Going to Soul Clan Continent was equivalent to going to cause them trouble. The various experts might not be willing to follow, since who knew if they’d die there.
“Whoosh!”
The formation flashed with light.
Jun Changxiao appeared in Eternal City, then headed toward the repaired space-time tunnel area.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Wild winds howled, sand and dust filled the sky.
His silhouette gradually merged into the harsh environment, quite reminiscent of the feeling “The wind blows cold over the Yi River; once the hero departs, he may never return.”
“Damn it!”
Jun Changxiao roared loudly at the camera, “This old man is going to scout the enemy, not to die! Can you turn off that ‘Two Springs Reflecting the Moon’ background music!”
…
“Master, when do we start?”
“Right now!”
“Yes!”
Receiving the command, the Space-Time Worm opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and began gnawing at a section of spatial barrier, then continuously ate into the deep void.
In just moments.
A space-time tunnel entrance with a radius of one meter appeared. Jun Changxiao didn’t hesitate and dove in.
“Heh~~tui!”
After digging forward for a distance, the Space-Time Worm turned around and spat out a ball of energy, sealing the entrance shut, then turned back to continue excavating forward.
This tunnel eaten out was surrounded by seven-colored flowing light, giving the feeling of being amidst clouds and mist.
“Master.”
While eating, the Space-Time Worm said, “The tunnel I’ve opened has special barrier protection and can be maintained long-term. However, don’t force your way through, or once you leave the tunnel, you’ll be forever lost in the deep space.”
“Mm.”
Jun Changxiao responded, looking through the seven-colored flowing light toward the dark environment outside.
However, after who knows how long they traveled, he actually discovered a corpse in the deep space.
“Master.”
The Space-Time Worm said, “This should be an expert who accidentally entered deep space and died unable to find a way out.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao immediately fell silent.
The corpse had no obvious external injuries, its face showing a ferocious and agonized expression—it had probably been driven to death by anxiety.
The Space-Time Worm said, “Ordinary people can hardly enter deep space. This human must have had strong cultivation in life, perhaps… possessed the ability to Shatter the Void, but didn’t fly to the Upper Realm and was unlucky enough to get lost in endless void.”
Surprise appeared on Jun Changxiao’s face.
Possessing the ability to Shatter the Void would definitely be Wudi-level in Xingyun Continent, yet actually died in endless void—this was simply too tragic.
“That’s why.”
The Space-Time Worm said, “Without sufficient confidence in ascending to the Upper Realm, one shouldn’t easily Shatter the Void, or this will be the result.”
“Can you dig over there and retrieve the corpse?” Jun Changxiao asked.
“Yes.”
The Space-Time Worm’s head rotated, changing direction, then quickly arrived before the corpse.
“Crack!”
Opening its mouth to bite, the void shattered.
That corpse instantly entered the space-time tunnel, but having separated from the endless void, the intact appearance and skin rapidly decayed, leaving only clothes and bones.
Jun Changxiao said helplessly, “This was vacuum-packed, after all.”
The corpse rapidly decomposing didn’t matter—the key was that the spatial ring on the finger bone was perfectly preserved!
“If he truly was an expert who could Shatter the Void in life, there must be good things inside!” Dog Sheng hurriedly stripped it off, a smile appearing on his face.
System: “…”
Looting to this extent—couldn’t be more conscienceless!
