Chapter 1160

Fang Yu entered through the door, reached the great hall, then followed the stairs up to the second floor; on this second floor there was one room whose doorway was somewhat unusual, with a woman in purple-patterned clothes standing before it; that woman pulled open the door, and at once a stream of flowing light spilled out from within.

"Step inside, and you will be in the Thunder World."

The woman said coldly.

"Mm."

Fang Yu stepped straight through the doorway, and at once the world spun, the stars shifted, and a new world appeared.

Fang Yu stood in the void, sensing that this world's gravity was many times that of the outside — an extremely unusual world.

When his gaze looked toward the distance, he saw an endless black desert stretching to the horizon.

This desert was also mentioned in the guide; it was called the Death Desert. Every grain of sand was deep blue, looking black at first glance, and every grain was very heavy — a hundred times heavier than ordinary iron.

These grains even possessed a kind of magnetism, binding all the sand together.

The entire world displayed attributes utterly different from the outside world.

Fang Yu did know why this world was special — it was because it had been created by a Realm Lord; when a Realm Lord creates a world, they use the primordial energy of the universe to forge it; the foundation of an entire Realm Lord world is Cosmic Crystal, and the land, sand, rocks and so forth here are all influenced by the universe's primordial energy, making them far more unusual than matter outside.

Primordial energy of the universe.

This was a powerful energy that only those who had reached the Realm Lord level could wield; once this energy condensed, it became "Cosmic Crystal," which was considered hard currency even within the universe.

Cosmic Crystal as hard currency was not currency issued by countries like Silver-Blue Coins, Black Dragon Coins, or Qianwu Coins, but rather condensed from the universe's primordial energy; it possessed enormous value in itself, much like the Pure Yang Pills that circulated across the three thousand great worlds of the Eternal Great World — valuable in their own right, and capable of greatly benefiting cultivators.

And Cosmic Crystal was the same — possessing enormous value in itself, so it could be used in any cosmic nation, accepted by any race.

One of Fang Yu's purposes in coming this time was to obtain the Cosmic Crystal of this Realm Lord world; he felt that such a thing was very likely to be of some benefit to his comprehension of the Law of Creation, or even the Law of Worlds.

As Fang Yu spread his divine sense across this desert, preparing to search for Cosmic Crystal, a group of young men and women several hundred li away were flying desperately for their lives.

Behind them was a black sandstorm that blotted out the sky and earth, sweeping toward them at an astonishing speed.

This black sandstorm was the Death Desert's deadliest killing force — the Death Storm.

Its appearance followed no规律, suddenly emerging, blanketing the heavens, leaving nowhere to hide; generation after generation of predecessors told their juniors that when facing the Death Sandstorm, whether flying into the sky or burrowing beneath the desert was seeking death — the only way was to race the Death Storm in speed.

As long as you had not been caught by the Death Storm before it dissipated, that meant you had survived.

Fang Yu's gaze looked toward the distance; the Death Storm there had already caught up with a man, sweeping straight over him; under the assault of sand grains imbued with the universe's primordial energy, the battle armor on that man's body shattered directly, his physical body utterly collapsing, with no power to resist at all.

"Ah!"

"Run!"

"Quick!"

The others all wore twisted expressions, each erupting with their fastest speed in the face of death.

But the Death Storm seemed to speed up as well; with one sweep, those few men and women were all engulfed by the Death Storm and perished.

And after devouring the people of this squad, the Death Storm's speed finally dropped, and at last it dissipated.

"Compared with the Black Sun Calamity, each has its own flavor. The Great Calamity Art seems to be able to merge with the Great Yuan Magnetic Art as well, transforming into a kind of Great Immortal Art."

Fang Yu watched this scene, feeling that Death Storm, lost in thought.

He strode across this stretch of Death Desert, moving with extreme speed.

Suddenly, he reached out with a great hand, and a small crystal appeared in his grasp.

This crystal had originally been deep within the desert, impossible for anyone to discover, but with one grab of Fang Yu's great hand, it appeared in his hand.

The entire crystal radiated an incomparably dense aura of the universe's primordial energy.

Cosmic Crystal.
