Chapter 1392

A world of void without light.

A void world without light.

After Xiao Feng inflicted over 2 gai of damage on himself, he did not die instantly but was shielded by the Sword Discussion Peak Grand Formation, his health locked at 1.

Then, under the effect of a healing buff, he recovered 21% of his health per second, quickly returning to full health.

"Trouble, it seems I've been swallowed by a void rift, just like the first time I encountered the Heavenly Tower."

Everything around was emptiness, with no up, down, left, right, nor light or darkness.

It was as if his eyes were covered and he was tossed into space, completely losing perception of the outside world.

"Are you alright?"

In the emptiness world, a voice sounded in his ear, transmitted directly via voice transmission.

That voice was ethereal and dreamlike, exactly that of Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang.

"You also fell in?"

He was a bit surprised, having thought that the Immortal Realm Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang could easily break free of the suction and escape.

In the void, there is no sense of direction or matter, and he also did not know where the other was located.

Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang replied: "I could have escaped, but I missed the chance to save you."

"Uh..."

Xiao Feng instantly felt awkward.

Then he recalled that this fairy maiden had used a teleportation gate, somewhat like a Golden Immortal woodcutter, and asked: "Aren't you able to teleport? Open a teleport gate and go back."

She denied it: "Without reaching Golden Immortal status, one cannot freely open a path through the void; I merely used a sect token to return to Sword Discussion Peak. Even a Golden Immortal can only shift within the void inside a single realm; once fallen into the void world, one loses direction and cannot return the way they came."

"Well... what do we do then?" Xiao Feng felt somewhat gloomy.

Had I known the consequences of Shattering the Void were so severe, especially since I used it on myself, I would not have used it; I would have gone with a lower-tier move like Covering Sun and Moon instead...

Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang's voice came again: "No need to panic; our strength is sufficient, there will be no danger. When we encounter a rift and enter another world, we can find a way back to the Nine Provinces."

In terms of strength, both are comparable to Golden Immortal-level combat power; traveling the Heavens poses little risk, even in the void world.

Just how long this void drift will last is unknown; last time Xiao Feng fell in, it was thanks to good luck that the Heavenly Tower guided him.

Now it's uncertain; if luck turns bad, we might be trapped for hundreds of years.

"What was that move you just used? Is it a late-stage skill of the Yin-Yang Dao?"

With nothing else to do, Xiao Feng casually chatted with her.

Although Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang calls him her fated foe, there is no grudge between them; they merely followed similar cultivation paths, destined to clash in the future.

She replied: "That is an application of the Yin-Yang Grand Dao after its completion; it allows one to remain sealed and unharmed, using force against force to reflect attacks. I call it Yin-Yang Reverse Chaos; in terms of subtlety... roughly."

"6th stage, Yin-Yang Reverse Chaos..."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh.

It seems my loss is justified; a fourth-stage fighter against a sixth-stage one naturally can't win.

Perhaps guessing Xiao Feng's reluctance, she added: "Even without that move, you still couldn't beat me."

"How so?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

I have myriad techniques; I just showed one or two. You are quite good, but your cultivation is still shallow; perhaps in five hundred years you could rival me, but for now... you are still too immature. She explained.

"Five hundred years... maybe we don't need that long."

Saying his cultivation was insufficient, he admitted it.

Not being able to defeat Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang now is also a fact.

But judging by his growth rate, at most two or three years, at least a year and a half, he will reach the Major God level, that is, the God Transformation Stage.

By then his strength will leap, perhaps enabling him to defeat her.

If he breaks through two more realms to reach Supreme Major God and Great Ascension Stage, defeating her would not be difficult.

However, Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang does not think so.

She said: "When I had cultivated for ten years, I was like you, using Nascent Soul-stage cultivation to defeat a Heavenly Immortal. Now three thousand years have passed, with realm after realm crossed, my strength growth is not slow. But the stronger one becomes, the more fear they feel. When you delve deeper into the Dao, you will understand."

Xiao Feng frowned slightly upon hearing that.

Being able to fight a Heavenly Immortal in ten years is indeed astonishing for an NPC's growth speed.

"Why are you afraid?" he asked.

Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang said: "I don't know either; perhaps because the Grand Dao is boundlessly long, or perhaps... all this feels too unreal."

"Unreal?"

Xiao Feng's heart stirred.

Could she know that he is not a real person, merely a piece of virtual data?

He fell silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Soon after, Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang said again: "We will have another great clash between us; I hope you will be stronger next time."

Xiao Feng nodded: "That's certain; I've been here so long, my defeats are few and far between; each time I lost before, I won it back, and this time will be no exception."

Before, he had died a few times, defeated respectively by the Storm City Lord, the Golden Holy Dragon, and the Demon King Mihel.

And those characters were later slain by his own hand.

Although Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang is strong, she will eventually fall by his hand!

As for whether he will actually kill her, that cannot be predicted for now.

Speaking of future battles, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "What is the origin of your Heavenly Dao cultivation and primordial divine power? Why are our powers so similar?"

"Well..."

Fairy Maiden Xun Shuang was about to speak when suddenly a dangerous aura arrived.

Swish swish swish

Void blades like sharp knives swept past one after another, Xiao Feng was slashed in the arm, his whole arm nearly broke, and his health dropped by a large chunk.

It's void turbulence, watch out!

Xun Shuang Xianzi reminded.

Xiao Feng quickly gave himself a defensive buff, and the void condensed into 43 earth shields protecting him.

"Where are you?" he asked.

In the void there is no vision; Xun Shuang Xianzi has been transmitting sound into his ear, and he cannot judge her position.

As soon as her voice fell, Xiao Feng felt a broad touch on his back, as if her back had pressed against him.

"In this void world we don't know the way ahead; since we entered together, let's leave together. This place is fraught with danger, watch your defenses." She leaned her back against Xiao Feng, each serving as the other's wall.

In the void world it's easy to run into void turbulence; small-scale ones merely cause some damage, while large-scale ones can directly annihilate a person into nothingness.

This is not a normal game space; if you die, you cannot even revive by returning to town, you can only drift about as a corpse.

Xiao Feng didn't want to feel that helpless again; having a companion by his side, even if they had to endure soundlessness, breathlessness, lightlessness, and distance for a long time, was better than being alone and feeling nothing strong.

The sensation from behind was soft; the Fairy Maiden's body must be supple.

Xiao Feng's intuition vaguely sensed her aura as illusory, like drifting clouds, vague and insubstantial.

Each employed their own methods, laying layered defenses around themselves to withstand the void turbulence's attacks.

When it was safe, Xun Shuang Xianzi said: "The Dao I cultivate was passed down from my master. However, if we speak of strength, my own physique is inseparable from it."
