Chapter 1886: with translation of chapter title

"This..."

Xue Ningzhen watched the hastily retreating Red Stone Continent players, and for a moment was dumbstruck.

After the enemies had mostly left, she exclaimed in astonishment: "Brother Xiao Feng's influence is truly terrifying..."

Xiao Feng laughed and said: "Ill fame spreads like this; those weaker war zones, upon seeing you, would probably just turn and run."

"I'm not nearly as frightening as you, Brother." Xue Ningzhen gave a light chuckle.

Immediately she flew to the other side of the canyon to check if any stragglers remained.

Deep within this Windswept Canyon lies a small Mi Jing capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands for cultivation; for the populous Azure Blue Realm, it is still relatively important.

After all, not every zone is like the Blue Star No. 8 War Zone, which has an unreasonable leader holding down the fort, plus a group of freak players whose gear is two eras ahead, capable of sweeping all directions.

The Azure Blue Realm has a permanent population of nearly 2.4 billion, with close to 200 million Divine Lord–level players; ordinary cities cannot provide a superior cultivation environment, so we must seize as many Mi Jing as possible.

Relying solely on Xue Ningzhen and her fellow Daoists, the Di Pan they've seized over the past two years, while not insignificant, is still insufficient.

Xiao Feng followed her to the vicinity of the Mi Jing entrance; the scattered remnants of personnel on the Red Stone Continent were swiftly wiped out.

Some of the deceased players in the Azure Blue Realm have been revived, and they have all rushed over to help.

Dao friend Xiao Feng!

Immortal Xiao Feng!

Wow, what a handsome male immortal! Together with our Xue Fairy Maiden, it's literally a match made in heaven—

Upon seeing Xiao Feng, the surrounding players greeted him, and some wanted to tease them, but before they could finish speaking, Xue Ningzhen silenced them with a spell that smeared their mouths.

"The battle's over, Brother; shall we go into the Mi Jing to have a look?" Xue Ningzhen invited.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's mood was excellent.

It wasn't because he had won, but because he had gained a new ability along the way.

He intended to go straight to the Void Sea to test it, to see whether his new trick could work in the Despair Trap.

Thus, in response to Xue Ningzhen's invitation, he politely declined: "Next time; I had a sudden epiphany on the way here, so I won't continue fighting."

After saying that, he gave a slight smile, then directly used Mi Jing teleportation to return to Cuiwei City.

"Huh?"

Watching his sudden departure, everyone was a bit surprised.

Immortal Xiao Feng really is a busy person.

Good thing he left, otherwise my Xue Ningzhen Fairy Maiden would have been snatched away by this handsome guy—

Coming and going in a hurry, truly worthy of being the server's top expert who is like a divine dragon—seen only the head, never the tail.

Xue Ningzhen was a bit puzzled, thinking she might have said something wrong earlier that drove Xiao Feng away.

But upon further thought, he doesn't seem like that kind of petty person; he probably truly had another epiphany.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling happy for him.

"Let's go, let's occupy this place; I still have some prestige, so I can set up a refuge." She called out, leading the crowd into the Mi Jing to occupy it.

Elsewhere.

Xiao Feng returned to Cuiwei City, immediately teleported to Rongjin City, then entered the Chaos Secret Realm.

Then he passed through the Void Sea gate and appeared directly in the Void Sea.

The Despair Trap prompt reappeared; gazing at the distant ice‑blue planet, Xiao Feng felt an urgent eagerness.

"Hope it succeeds..."

He silently prayed.

He then took out a divine stone and placed it on the spot.

The divine stone floated alone in midair, becoming a coordinate point.

With a thought, his Li Ti turned into a state of nothingness, becoming a cluster of primordial source qi, and he immediately sped off in a direction.

True primordial source qi is invisible, not a purplish‑gray flow manifested by divine power.

It is the tiniest particle in the universe; according to Chen Jie, this particle is so small that even cosmic space cannot sustain it, leaking directly from the "cracks" of material space into higher‑dimensional space, where it is devoured by higher‑dimensional beings.

It can exist in the myriad worlds because this universe is a virtual universe built within the material universe, adding an extra layer of protection.

Another reason is that after Chen Jie's father became the Lord of the Universe, he reinforced the cosmic walls, shrinking the cracks in material space so that no higher‑dimensional substance can seep in, and there is no need to worry about primordial source qi leaking out.

Therefore, even if Xiao Feng were to disintegrate himself in the real world, there would be no risk.

Conversely, without this second layer of protection, his self‑disintegration in the real universe would likely be total suicide, vanishing outright between heaven and earth, entering the higher‑dimensional universe to become food for "spirits".

Xiao Feng, transformed into primordial source qi, is propelled forward solely by his willpower.

Not long after, a pain like a torn soul surged; he hastily resumed his Li Ti form and caught his breath.

"Huff… maintaining this technique in the void shortens its duration." He calculated the time; it had been only about seven seconds.

In the Void World, material energy is scarce; only the underlying spatial structure exists. Primordial source qi particles move relatively freely, but they also dissipate more easily in the expansive void, being diluted.

The surroundings are a bit cold.

After condensing his Li Ti, he took a close look.

The divine stone… is simply not there.

He can no longer see the divine stone he left behind!

Looking in another direction, he discovered that the ice‑blue planet had become noticeably closer!

At this moment, the distance between them had shrunk by almost 100,000 kilometers!

"It works! It actually works!" Xiao Feng burst into wild joy.

The spatial compression effect of the Despair Trap takes the originally stretched‑out spatial structure, stacks and compresses it into a denser form; thus, when one flies within it, it appears to be constantly moving, but in fact one is shuttling endlessly up and down through a distorted passage, with the actual cosmic coordinates hardly shifting at all.

The spatial density in this vicinity is over a hundred million times that of the outside, but the spatial substrate itself is massless; it is not composed of primordial source qi, has no physical substance, and thus no physical meaning—it might as well not exist.

Hence the Despair Trap is aptly named; even if a Venerable were to arrive, they would still have to obediently thread along the twisted void passage, their speed plummeting by a factor of a hundred million.

But Xiao Feng is different!

Material law and spatial law are two parallel laws, both belonging to high-dimensional rules.

Spatial source substance can be stacked and compressed, squeezing a space as large as the sun into an area the size of a fingernail.

But the source qi of all things can directly ignore its stacking and compression!

This is a more overbearing method than void traversal, equivalent to a needle piercing folded paper: no matter how many layers, it pierces through all at once and appears directly on the other side!

Such a flight method cannot be trapped by even desperate confinement formations; the vast majority of enemy-trapping formations will pale before it!

"This is truly void traversal…… or rather, spatial jump?" Xiao Feng thought to himself.

He immediately gave this new skill a name: Chaos Escape Technique!
