Chapter 1417: New World, Baiyuan Continent!

And as the long sword fell, a faint reddish mark also appeared on the woman's wrist.

Obviously, that "whoosh" sound just now wasn't produced out of thin air; something indeed flew through the air and sliced Liu Jin's wrist.

"Hehe, compared to your swordsmanship, my Severing Love Silk seems to have the upper hand!"

Having knocked down the long sword and wounded her opponent, the purple-clad woman across from her curled the corner of her mouth slightly upward, looking at her with a smug expression.

At the same time, she moved her hands slightly again, and then a dense series of faint tearing sounds rang out continuously around the white-clad woman.

And if one carefully looks around Liu Jin, one can discover.

Around her, at this moment there are countless tiny threads constantly attacking her.

Of course, although Liu Jin has lost her long sword, she obviously does not intend to surrender.

While the purple-clad woman was acting, she also flipped her jade hand and took out a yellow talisman.

However, the few people fighting above the forest simply had no idea.

Meanwhile, as they fought, a wooden ship several hundred zhang in size was speeding through the dark void.

And Lin Feng, who had left the Dou Qi Continent for several months, now sat with Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu, their faces full of worry, crouched in the cabin, looking at the Da Qian Tu placed on the floor.

"Ah, Master, we've been flying for almost three months and still haven't found the Baiyuan Continent—are you even capable?"

After watching for a long time, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a bit depressed, rubbing her colorful hair with both hands, her face full of grievance.

Three whole months have passed, and they still haven't found where the Baiyuan Continent is!

They spend all day in this small boat that is only six or seven hundred zhang long and two or three hundred zhang wide.

After a long time, she no longer even has the thought of making a little fire for her master!

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng also spoke gloomily: "What can I do? These continents, we outsiders can't reach them directly; we can only search for corresponding space nodes in this universe. And these nodes, the largest are only the size of an ordinary door, while the smaller ones are as tiny as a speck of dust."

"In this vast, boundless cosmic space, as the distance from the Dou Qi Continent grows ever greater, my soul perception has been compressed to only a few dozen li; even with a map, finding the Baiyuan Continent's space node is still quite difficult!"

While speaking, Lin Feng helplessly glanced through the cabin's small window at the dark outside world.

He, a Dou Emperor expert, could naturally summon wind and rain on the Dou Qi Continent.

But once he left the Dou Qi Continent and entered this vast universe, facing alone the cosmic power of the Da Qian Shijie,

he had no resistance at all and was instantly suppressed.

Over the past two months or so, they have traveled an unknown distance at hundreds of thousands of times the speed of light, during which they have seen an unknown number of space nodes of other continents.

But the problem is, none of those are the Baiyuan Continent's space node.

As for those so-called space nodes, they are actually like anti-theft doors for lower planes such as the Dou Qi Continent, Tianxuan Continent, and Baiyuan Continent, used to protect each world from invasion by experts from other worlds or from the lower realms of the Da Qian Shijie.

Those who possess a key can open this space node and enter the corresponding world.

As for the key, it can be an item bearing the imprint of a native of the continent, or an official key issued by the Da Qian Shijie, etc.

In short, as long as the space node acknowledges it, it's fine.

But if you don't have a key, then you can only rely on your own methods.

However, not long after Lin Feng finished speaking, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his soul power.

"Huh?"

This extremely faint fluctuation in his soul power, though easy to miss if one isn't careful, he had become accustomed to after sensing countless continental space nodes over these months, so he quickly noticed it.

Then he didn't have time to continue arguing with Xiao Ling; he immediately steered the void ship toward the direction his soul fluctuation had come from.

"Master, have you discovered something?"

And Xiao Jiu, who was crouched on the ground looking at the map, upon sensing her master's sudden reaction, immediately asked.

After all, having stayed here for so long, she also wanted to get out.

"Hmm, I've sensed another space node; as for whether it's the Baiyuan Continent, I can't tell."

While speaking, Lin Feng controlled the void ship to flicker, and in an instant arrived at a patch of dark void.

This place appears, although empty of anything.

But Lin Feng can clearly sense that not far ahead, there is a space node the size of a speck of dust.

"Master, your luck is terrible—after hundreds of attempts none have been it; let me try this time!"

However, as soon as Lin Feng and his group arrived before the space node, Xiao Ling immediately stepped forward, stamping her long, straight jade leg and reaching out her hand toward her master.

However, her appearance, though it looks somewhat domineering,

but during this time, Lin Feng, out of boredom, constantly played with her body, leaving her jade legs covered in red claw marks, utterly destroying that aura.

"Since you, little girl, are interested, then I'll give it to you."

However, seeing Xiao Ling interested, Lin Feng didn't say much, just casually pulled out a jade tablet engraved with some beast patterns and tossed it to her.

"Hmph, Master, you just watch this time!"

Having taken the jade tablet imbued with Liuxi's aura, Xiao Ling immediately brushed her jade finger across her nose, turned around with extreme confidence.

"Whoosh"

Immediately after, her figure darted, and the next moment she appeared outside the void ship, within the protective shield.

Thereafter, the Xiao Ling floating in the air swiftly formed hand seals, and a vast sea of colorful flames surged forth from within her body.

"Go!"

As soon as the flame sea appeared, she immediately commanded it to transform into gigantic fire dragons that flew forward, illuminating that dark expanse of space.

At the same time, Xiao Ling changed the seal in her hand, and the several fire dragons in the distance suddenly made a turn in the dark void.

They quickly linked together, forming a enormous ring tens of thousands of zhang in diameter.

"Seal!"

Seeing the ring formed, she immediately commanded the fire ring to rapidly shrink, crushing inward toward the center.

The fire ring's transformation speed is extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, it shrank from a diameter of tens of thousands of zhang down to a point of light.

At the same time, as the strange fire continually compressed inward, the pressure at its center grew ever greater!

Of course, what Xiao Ling is doing isn't just for fun.

Because, thanks to the abilities of numerous anomalous fires, she can sense.

At the center of the fire ring she created lies that dust‑sized spatial node!

As Xiao Ling compressed the fire ring, she noticed the thing inside the light speck "struggling" more and more.

Such a massive amount of anomalous fire continuously squeezes the spatial node inside, causing it to emit powerful shockwaves in "resistance."

Nevertheless, Xiao Ling also fully pressed the fire ring inward, her gaze fixed on that "light speck."

Boom!

During the stalemate between Xiao Ling and the spatial node, finally a distant colorful light speck burst open.

In an instant, a massive amount of anomalous fire was rapidly thrust by the inner pressure to a place tens of thousands of li away!

At the same time, energy surged at the spot that just exploded.

Then a black speck, dust‑like, faintly emerged from within.

That speck was black and tiny; if Lin Feng and Xiao Ling weren't both strong, they probably wouldn't have noticed its existence!

And the moment the black speck appeared, an odd spatial ripple slowly radiated outward from it.

Meanwhile, inside the Void Boat's shield, Xiao Ling saw the tiny black speck appear, and a smile of delight instantly lit her face.

Immediately, she took out the jade tablet Lin Feng had given her and sent it toward the black speck.

After all, according to information obtained from that fleeing bad woman, it was a mark left by someone from another world.

When a spatial node near the world where the mark's owner was born is approached, the node reacts.

Thus, if this jade tablet can react with the black speck, they've found the right place.

Buzz!

Soon after the jade tablet touched the distant spatial node, the ATM, that spatial node suddenly burst out a black radiance.

At the same time, it sensed the aura of a native of this world.

The defense on that black speck silently weakened considerably.

Oh yeah, great, we've found the right place!

Seeing the spatial node react with the jade tablet, an unmistakable ecstatic grin burst onto Xiao Ling's face, and she leapt up uncontrollably in excitement.

Because they reacted, it proves this spatial node is the Baiyuan Continent spatial node they have been searching for over the past two months!

Realizing her boring days were ending, Xiao Ling cheerfully said, "Indeed, I, Xiao Ling, am the most formidable flame under the heavens; this first detection already uncovered the passage to the Baiyuan Continent!"

Huh?

At the same time, Lin Feng and Xiao Jiu, by the cabin window, were both taken aback.

Who could have imagined Xiao Ling's luck to be this good.

The first detection truly succeeded in locating the spatial node to the Baiyuan Continent.

But immediately after, Lin Feng, realizing the situation, warned, "Girl, quickly open this spatial node; I'll take charge of shattering the world wall."

Alright!

Hearing her master's call, Xiao Ling, who had been lost in excitement over finding the spatial node, finally snapped back to herself.

She immediately summoned the colorful anomalous fire within her, turning it into massive pillars of flame.

They surged forward, bombarding the distant black speck.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanying Xiao Ling's frantic assault, in an instant the distant spatial node erupted with sudden bursts of fierce, multicolored flames.

Buzz

Under Xiao Ling's urgent, frenzied strikes, the dust‑sized spatial node finally began to expand slowly.

After several minutes of continued bombardment, the dust‑like black speck, through the girl's effort, ultimately became a black vortex about a zhang in size.

At the same time, a violent spatial fluctuation capable of instantly crushing a Nine Star Peak Dou Saint spread out faster than light, evoking awe.

As the spatial node expanded, the world wall hidden behind it lost its protection and was laid bare.

Haha, I did it, I've opened the spatial node!

The next moment, seeing the distant spatial node opened and revealing the hidden world wall, Xiao Ling was instantly overjoyed.

Look, Xiao Ling, I'll burn that turtle shell of yours to pieces!

Immediately, the girl atop, her confidence soaring, discarded Lin Feng's words and swiftly summoned the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her, aiming to scorch a huge opening in the world wall.

After all, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is famed for its burning power, making it perfect for this situation!

With that in mind, the girl quickly formed seals with both hands.

Then two golden fire dragons arched backward and roared, lunging toward the distant world wall.

Clang!

However, unexpectedly, as the fire dragons touched the Baiyuan Continent's world wall, Xiao Ling instantly felt an immense recoil.

The force was so great that even a Dou Emperor‑realm Xiao Ling could not resist, and she was flung away.

As for the two fire dragons formed from the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, they vanished the instant they contacted the world wall.

Ouch!

She let out a wail, then crashed hard onto the Void Boat's deck.

The massive force caused the Void Boat to stagger back dozens of li before Lin Feng managed to steady it.

Sigh, this girl is beyond saving…

Seeing the scene, Lin Feng helplessly covered his face.

Then he shifted his form and appeared above the Void Boat.

He flipped his palm, producing a roughly seventy‑centimeter, hammer‑like, solid gray metal cone that materialized in his hand.

At the same time, when the spike appeared, its tip instantly flashed with a chilling light that made the eyes unable to stare directly.

And this iron‑claw‑like spike is one of the items Lin Feng obtained from the black‑white iron chest, the World‑Breaking Spike.

As for its function, the name itself reveals it: a treasure specifically for breaking the World Wall.

When the World‑Breaking Spike was deployed, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all and immediately poured the Dou Qi raging within his body into it.

"Buzz!"

After successfully activating it, the spike began to be covered by colorful Dou Qi.

"Go!"

Lin Feng's mind instantly shifted, and he swiftly guided the spike in his hand toward the spatial wall inside the distant black vortex.

In an instant, the World‑Breaking Spike, cloaked in multicolored light, left the Void Vessel's shield, flashed through cosmic space, and then made contact with the World Wall inside the spatial node.

"Crack! Bang!"

When they touched, the standoff lasted less than a split second, and the World Wall that had left Xiao Ling in a sorry state was instantly shattered like glass, leaving a thousand‑foot‑wide hole.

"Great!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng, while controlling the returning World‑Breaking Spike, thought to accelerate the Void Vessel below toward the gap that the plane power was slowly repairing.

"Oh ho, finally smashed that damn turtle shell that bullied me!"

On the deck, Xiao Ling, grinning with clenched teeth and supporting her waist as she stood, instantly jumped up with the excitement of a three‑year‑old.

After all, that thing just now had caused her, Lady Xiao Ling, a humiliating disgrace she deeply remembered!

As for opening the cabin door, the little Jiu who was stepping out heard the former's words and immediately rolled an annoyed white eye.

She then walked onto the deck, a faint hope stirring in her heart.

With golden eyes, she stared intently at the gap in the World Wall ahead, obscured by white light.

As for Xiao Ling, after rubbing her sore waist from the fall, she also stretched her neck and, excitedly restless, looked forward.

"Swoosh!"

In the next moment, with Lin Feng fully propelling the Void Vessel after catching the World‑Breaking Spike, it sliced through the void at extreme speed.

In the blink of an eye it passed the gap in the World Wall and entered the world inside.

"Baiyuan Continent, the second new world I will explore, I, Lin Feng, have arrived!"

As soon as the words finished, the three of them, together with the massive Void Vessel beneath them, vanished into the blinding white light of the World Wall.

At the same time, the huge gap behind them, under the restoration of plane power, closed rapidly and returned to its original state.

Even the outer spatial node, likewise, reverted to a speck of dust in the blink of an eye. (End of chapter)
