Chapter 473: Black Fog Space

"To be able to obtain triple-digit first-class geniuses, among whom there is even a supreme genius."

"It can be considered an unexpected joy of this trip."

Su Ping was very satisfied with this trip to the Kali Civilization.

He obtained a mineral vein that produces large amounts of Gray Gold and gained the faith of the intelligent race living next to the vein, which was just right for refining the Gray Gold using this power of faith.

Or perhaps having so many excellent talents was an unexpected joy.

In the Pot Heaven, Su Ping brought the little girl he had rescued to a newly expanded mountain peak.

On this mountain peak, Su Ping installed a building set he had obtained from a card draw.

In the blink of an eye, a wooden manor surrounded by flower fields appeared on the mountain peak.

The little girl was placed inside the manor.

Immediately, a female crane-spirit Daoist child descended to take care of her and, at the same time, teach her the path of cultivation.

The little girl was named Mina, and her entire family had perished in the Distortion Disaster.

However, Su Ping had not lied to her.

In this world without Spirit Qi, the souls of the vast majority of intelligent beings dissipate shortly after death.

In fact, except for those with exceptional talent, most intelligent beings, after their souls leave their bodies upon death, would dissipate before they could even recover consciousness.

However, because of the appearance of large amounts of Gray Gold in the Kali Civilization, those in the Kali Civilization who died due to the Distortion Disaster...

... were able to keep their soul bodies from dissipating quickly because of the radiation from the Gray Gold.

Although this resulted in these intelligent beings having to endure suffering even after death.

It was precisely because of this that they held on until the arrival of Su Ping's true self, who then casually used one or two magic treasures like the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

He then absorbed the souls of all the people of the Kali Civilization on the entire planet.

Next, they would recuperate in the Netherworld and accept their new identities and new jobs.

In the projection Su Ping waved into existence, Mina saw the souls of her family.

Because her talent was so good, Su Ping even valued her highly.

Mina was granted an exceptional opportunity to see the soul bodies of her family.

From then on, Mina had no more doubts, and her subjective initiative reached a height she had never attained before.

For the sake of resurrecting her family!

With this as her goal, Mina almost achieved the pinnacle of "grinding" in her subsequent cultivation.

This also allowed her special Spirit Body—a type of Spirit Body not collected by the Cultivation World, which could absorb starlight to strengthen the Divine Soul and increase the resonance of the array—to be utilized to its maximum potential.

With the help of Su Ping's Spirit Herbs, she broke through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in no time.

And in just a few days, she advanced from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.

If this were anyone else, it would be "pulling up seedlings to help them grow," and even with Spirit Pills to make up for physical defects, problems would arise in the Divine Soul.

But after Mina broke through, she only needed to be thrown outside to bask in the starlight to consolidate her realm and complete the accumulation of her state of mind.

This made the term "pulling up seedlings to help them grow" a joke when applied to her.

This constitution also made Su Ping's eyes light up.

Thus, the next time he fished up a Star Spirit Fish, Su Ping copied this Spirit Body onto himself.

Increasing the resonance of the array is not only useful for Dao Integration planets.

It is also of great use when setting up a Space-Time Array in the Cultivation World.

With large amounts of Gray Gold and an increase in the production of Abyss Gray Soil.

Su Ping's arrangements in the Cultivation World also accelerated in progress.

As for the Kali Civilization, it was handed over to Kafute to manage on his behalf. As long as there were no large-scale conversions that would affect the implementation of his plans, Su Ping would not care about anything else.

After Su Ping's avatar left, Kafute, after experiencing a short period of confusion, gradually settled into his role.

If there was anything he didn't understand, there would naturally be professionals who smelled the opportunity and took the initiative to come and serve him.

At the same time, Kafute also gradually realized some techniques left behind by Su Ping's avatar to exert his own talents.

He could see through people's hearts and display pressure.

Coupled with the True God appearing to endorse him.

Without any surprise, Kafute became the most authoritative and unquestionable existence in the Kali Civilization!

The Cultivation World, North King Time Domain.

A space-time sea area shrouded in black fog.

This is one of the Forbidden Lands recognized by the cultivation forces of the North King Time Domain.

The Black Fog Forbidden Domain.

It is rumored that this forbidden domain has existed since the time when the ancient gods and saints divided the Time Domain.

No one knows what it looks like inside or what secrets exist there.

Because even if a Heavenly Immortal, who had received assistance from an Immortal Emperor and carried a life-saving trump card, went inside.

They would disappear without a trace.

As for an Emperor... after the Heavenly Immortal carrying a life-saving trump card failed.

Even if an Emperor wanted to go and investigate, those around the Emperor would desperately stop the Emperor from taking such a risk.

After all, if an Emperor were to go and never return.

It would cause the entire Time Domain to undergo another blood-soaked upheaval!

Outside the black fog, Su Ping appeared in the Void.

"Hmm... is the last Time-Space Node in this black fog area?"

"A forbidden domain area that even Emperors dare not enter?"

Su Ping whispered, his eyes radiating divine light as he looked at the black fog area.

Then, he discovered with some regret that this patch of black fog was indeed quite strange; even his Great Vehicle Realm divine sense could not discern anything.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ping took out the Memory Scepter.

With a stir in his heart.

The Memory Scepter took effect.

The Memory Phantoms of Valkyrie Kong and Fire Knight Erwin were summoned over.

Then, at Su Ping's request, these two Memory Phantoms fearlessly transformed into two streaks of light and entered the black fog.

Hum!

As soon as they plunged into the black fog area.

The two of them vanished from Su Ping's divine sense perception.

However, it was not a big problem.

The divine sense perception had disappeared, but the connection through the Memory Scepter remained.

The curious Su Ping chose to possess their vision.

Suddenly!

Su Ping's eyes brightened as he saw that the Shikong Haiyu within the black fog was not the kind of Spirit Mist space he had guessed it to be.

Instead, it appeared above a boundless, pitch-black ocean.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, making the light extremely dim.

Su Ping had Valkyrie Kong tilt her head slightly.

With the help of her Void talent, her gaze pierced through the dark clouds and saw the source of the surrounding light.

It was a white moon.

Or perhaps a moon-shaped Shenchong.

On the oval-shaped Shenchong, a massive head with only simple facial features hung low.

The pale skin was covered in limbs of various shapes.

They were swaying rhythmically with the breathing of the human face.

This moon Shenchong emitted a soft white light, penetrating the dark clouds so that the space below was not completely pitch black.

Su Ping could feel that the status of this unknown deity was likely no lower than those chaotic Demon Venerables.

And it also possessed the Mental Pollution abilities of Decay and the children of the evil gods.

It was fortunate that Valkyrie Kong was already the Queen of the Void and had the potential to become a Void Sovereign.

Even if her strength was insufficient, her resistance was high enough, which was why she was not polluted by looking directly at the entity's form.

And in the depths of this pitch-black Dahai.

As Valkyrie Kong lowered her head to look.

In the deep sea, tens of thousands of kilometers down, floated one after another strange, giant beasts with body lengths ranging from hundreds to thousands of kilometers.

Most of these giant beasts resembled whales in body shape, but their entire bodies were severely deformed, and their heads bore human faces of varying sizes.

One look was enough to know they were not proper giant beasts.

They sensed they were being watched.

Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and the human faces on their heads opened one after another, transmitting messages toward the source of the gaze.

Su Ping was bold because of his high level of skill.

Not worried that the Memory Phantoms would have any issues, he accepted all these messages.

Then, Su Ping was surprised to discover that the messages sent by these giant beasts in the deep sea were actually pleas for help.

The backgrounds they claimed for themselves were also increasingly grand.

There were Sect Masters and Elders of ancient, hidden sects.

There were also Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities from various factions within the Three Great Alliances.

They were all enticing the Cultivator who received the messages to hurry over and save them.

And they kindly told them the method.

As long as one aimed at the deep sea and unleashed their strongest attack.

They could take the opportunity to break free.

At that time, not only could they join forces to take the Cultivator with them to leave this forbidden domain.

Once they safely returned, they would definitely provide a generous reward.

These messages seemed unreliable.

But Su Ping thought carefully: if it were not him, but some other Cultivator who entered.

After trying methods and discovering they could neither contact the outside world nor leave.

They would either look up, see that moon Shenchong, and then go mad and self-destruct.

Or they would have no choice but to believe these enticements and give it a try.

And once they attacked the deep sea.

Su Ping suspected that perhaps there would be one more giant beast trapped in the deep sea.

"Based on the situation known so far."

"This forbidden domain seems to be a Seal space that transcends the Ten-Tier power level."

"The existence being sealed is likely that pale, moon-shaped, unknown deity."

"..."

Su Ping ignored those pleas for help.

First, let Valkyrie Kong and Aierwen search for the location in the boundless sky above the vast Dahai, following their perception of the Time-Space Node.

However, Su Ping soon discovered that even though they were clearly close, they could not fly to the destination no matter what.

"Space has been distorted."

"The space involving the destination has been hidden."

"Sigh, I originally only intended to finish the mission silently and run away."

"Now there's no other way."

After Su Ping perceived this point, he sighed with emotion.

Then, as Valkyrie Kong entered the Queen of Void state.

The entire space within the black mist began to tremble slightly.

A Void Mark appeared on the center of the Queen of Void's brow.

A wisp of Void aura obtained from the Xukong Shengdian appeared on the Mark.

In an instant!

Both the dark clouds and the Dahai boiled over at the first moment.

Woo woo woo!

The moon-shaped Shenchong above the dark clouds also shook a few times, and its breathing frequency became disordered.

Boom!

A whirlpool with a diameter exceeding hundreds of thousands of kilometers appeared in the pitch-black Dahai.

One giant beast after another broke away from the deep sea and emerged on the surface of the whirlpool.

These giant beasts, whose heads had human faces as they spun continuously with the whirlpool, all revealed wild joy and shouted various frenzied words.

Following that, some giant beasts were pushed by a great force and rushed into the high sky.

Swish!

Aierwen used the accumulated Flame Mark, transforming into a Fire God Knight emitting red light.

Facing the giant beasts, a single sword strike could split one in two.

At the same time, the split giant beast bodies immediately ignited into raging fires, turning the bodies to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The first giant beast was still burning, but more giant beasts leaped up one after another.

It was also as they all flew up together.

That Su Ping noticed their abdomens were actually already hollow cavities.

These giant beasts were, shockingly, a group of empty shells!

"Explode!"

Aierwen also unleashed full power, burning his entire body, including his Divine Soul and primordial spirit.

Including his very existence, manifesting a Fire Phoenix not inferior to the Chiyuan Xianren of that time.

The thousands of flame streamers bloomed by the Fire Phoenix, like living ribbons, pounced toward those giant beasts, igniting the giant beasts in the blink of an eye.

First, thousands of ribbons submerged into the deep sea.

And then, after the entire Fire Phoenix let out a cry, it also rushed into the very center of the deep-sea whirlpool.

And so!

As the Fire Phoenix exploded in the center of the whirlpool!

The boundless pitch-black Dahai, as far as the eye could see, was ignited by the phoenix flames!

Using the seawater as fuel, these flames spread and burned crazily.

This also caused the temperature of this space to begin rising rapidly.

And in the high sky.

The Queen of Void also completed the ritual.

Relying on the Void Sovereign aura bonus.

She summoned an adult Void King Beast... the Void Giant Snake Yegusi!

This Void Giant Snake, emitting a pale blue light, just by poking its snake head out from the time-space rift, occupied the vast majority of the Queen of Void's field of vision.

When it opened its big mouth.

The moon-shaped Shenchong, about the size of half a Water Blue Star, was like a sugar pill about to fall into a bloody maw.

Boom!

The Void Giant Snake stretched its neck, broke through the dark clouds, and swallowed the light source of this world in one gulp.

The world was instantly plunged into darkness.

Then, the surroundings seemed to fall into a time-stopped state all at once.

The dark clouds, the seawater, and the still-flowing air all solidified.

Then they began to crack inch by inch.

Crack!

Su Ping, outside the black mist area, was also able to hear this crisp sound.

Afterward, he saw the black mist begin to shrink, collapsing toward a singularity within.

At this moment, Su Ping perceived that the two partners he had summoned were also unable to withstand this spatial collapse.

They lost all signs of life in an instant.

Fortunately, this was only a Memory Phantom; once the cooldown time passed, they could continue to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Su Ping's gaze looked toward the collapsing black mist space.

For the sake of safety, Su Ping chose to leave behind his Primordial Spirit Avatar.

His true body, meanwhile, teleported back to the Biyuan World.

At the same time, he played his trump card, summoning the phantom of the Fox God and the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor to assist him.

Hum!

Space vibrated and fluctuated.

Accompanied by a painful low moan.

The crescent-shaped Shenchong, which should have been swallowed by the Void Giant Snake, emerged from the collapsing Black Fog vortex.

Su Ping's Avatar looked at the opponent, sensing that its size had shrunk by at least half compared to when it was in the Black Fog space.

It seemed the Void Giant Snake's attack was still very effective.

Furthermore, it was true damage; otherwise, for such an existence, a mere loss of body could be recovered in the blink of an eye.

Such a massive disturbance in this Black Fog Forbidden Domain.

Naturally attracted the attention of the Three Great Alliances and various hidden forces.

In this very instant, Su Ping's Avatar could feel over ninety gazes looking over.

He hid behind the Fox God.

He let the Fox God and the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor radiate divine light.

Immediately, many of the people behind these gazes groaned, suffering a backlash.

Then, upon confirming that the opponents of these two Great Abilities with the aura of an Emperor were actually unknown Ancient Gods from the ancient era.

Sorry to bother you! Apologies, farewell!

The majority, realizing this was not a spectacle they could watch, made the correct choice.
