Chapter 459

The stormy quicksand spanning hundreds of light‑years around, like an ignited ammunition dump, instantly burst forth with endless wind‑and‑thunder power.

It affected the surrounding light‑years nearby.

The entire expanse of space shattered instantly, endless spacetime turbulence arose, and endless black storms mixed with endless wind‑and‑thunder power raged.

This place instantly became an extremely dangerous zone, where even the Strongest Being would fall in an instant.

The power here has long surpassed the tenth rank; even possessing a Supreme Treasure Palace cannot last more than a second.

The Winged Demon God was fleeing at high speed aboard a Supreme Treasure Palace, yet was enveloped in the endless black storm.

"Ah! I have fallen, human—you won't fare any better either." the Winged Demon God roared.

Endless wind‑and‑thunder power mixed with endless black storm, its might already exceeding the limit that a Supreme Treasure Palace can bear.

Endless might seeped into it.

It eroded the Winged Demon God's body, surpassing the limit of the Supreme Treasure Armor, causing a tremendous weakening.

Almost instantly, the Winged Demon God was submerged under the endless might, continually striking his True God's heart.

Even as he died, the Winged Demon God tried to drag Xiao Yu down with him, then suddenly self‑detonated his body.

With a "Boom!" the endless storm raged.

The Winged Demon God fell completely!

At the same time, all life within the Winged Demon God's mini‑universe instantly perished, endless spacetime began to collapse and shatter, and even the origin of that mini‑universe was in turmoil.

"Self‑inflicted!" Xiao Yu snorted coldly, then focused on dealing with his own crisis.

……

After becoming aware of the Winged Demon God, Xiao Yu notified the Human Race's many powerhouses in the Virtual Universe, urging them to rush over and loot the wealth.

……

Under the endless storm, Xiao Yu also fared poorly.

Only to see that his Three Thousand Blade Domain had been pushed to its limit, yet could not block the endless storm in the slightest.

He could only occasionally swing a blade outward, clearing a region of wind‑and‑thunder power, but because space was shattered, it also triggered endless black storms.

However, the power of these black storms was ultimately limited and could not breach Cold Cliff Fortress's defenses.

However, the cleared wind‑and‑thunder power lasted less than a second before being swallowed again by the raging giant storm, so Xiao Yu could only keep slashing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu's divine power within his body is astonishing; he hardly minds this consumption, and even without using the divine power reserves in his World Ring he can cope.

Xiao Yu felt that the two coordinates in his Sea of Knowledge were rotating and constantly shifting in disorder with the tremendous storm's power.

Suddenly, he sensed a core containing endless wind power flying toward him.

"Ha ha, quite a coincidence." Xiao Yu laughed, his divine power already like a palm grasping that treasure and pulling it over.

Inside the fortress, Xiao Yu stared at the black sphere emanating endless wind power, somewhat dazed.

"System, analyze the treasure before me."

【1 trillion Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

【Netherwind Orb, a precious treasure born of the Endless Wind Domain on the Origin Continent, containing endless wind power, a precious material for forging Supreme Treasures, which can be placed in the void; after a million eons, it can form a wind domain.】

【Wish fulfilled!】

"Ha ha, I've also obtained the wind‑law treasure; now I only need the metal, wood, light, and lightning law treasures to complete the Ten Great Laws." Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced.

Of course, Xiao Yu's ambition does not stop here; he will also try to have the World Seed devour some curiosities, and if he can obtain other law treasures, he will also have the World Seed devour them.

He then immediately flew toward the other coordinate, continually opening a path with secret arts, and shortly thereafter also obtained the other treasure.

This is an irregular blue sphere containing endless thunder‑god power; although only about the size of a human palm, it seems to hold endless divine power.

"System, analyze this treasure before me that contains endless thunder‑god power."

【1 trillion Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

【Nine Heavens Thunder Crystal, a precious treasure born of the Endless Thunder Domain on the Origin Continent, containing endless thunder‑and‑lightning power, a precious material for forging Supreme Treasures.】

【Wish fulfilled!】

"Now that's good, I've obtained another useful treasure." Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Right now, I just need to get out quickly."

He then stored the two treasures inside his World Ring.

Xiao Yu glanced toward the depths of the Feng Lei Liu Sha, at the Winged Demon God; he felt a pang of reluctance, for that Alien Tribe's Strongest Being surely possessed at least three Supreme Treasures.

Yet from the depths of the Feng Lei Liu Sha continually came a sensation that made him feel shocked.

"Just three Supreme Treasures; even if I could look for them later, right now my life is the priority." Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Instantly, the Cold Cliff Fortress, like a particle, suddenly turned around and headed back the way it came.

"Rumble rumble~~"

Booms of thunderous noise kept arriving intermittently.

Xiao Yu's divine power spread outward, yet it felt as if sinking into an abyss, unable to detect anything besides the endless storm.

Sensing something amiss, Xiao Yu immediately began to accelerate continuously.

The Cold Cliff Fortress's speed instantly surpassed ten thousand times the speed of light, still accelerating—50,000×c……100,000×c……

Only to see behind Xiao Yu, at the place where the Winged Demon God had just self‑destructed in the wind‑and‑thunder core, a region of space seemed to collapse, as if falling into an unknown dimension.

The surrounding endless wind‑and‑thunder power, together with the gigantic black storm, was sucked into it.

The endless swallowing force formed a huge vortex; this dark vortex grew larger and larger, devouring everything around it completely.

This dark vortex was rapidly expanding.

Its speed exceeded ten thousand times the speed of light, reaching a hundred thousand times, and it continued to accelerate.

As the vortex grew larger, its devouring speed also increased.

"Fast! Fast!" Xiao Yu felt the terrifying aura behind him, which had nearly reached the vicinity.

The endless swallowing force instantly reached the surroundings; the Cold Cliff Fortress was immediately slowed by that endless swallowing force, its speed dropping below ten thousand times the speed of light.

"I am Time and Space!" Xiao Yu let out a howl and again activated the heavenly‑bestowed secret technique.

Using Xiao Yu's present comprehension of Time and Space to wield the secret technique, its potency had already surpassed its limit, attaining the Sixth Tier, and then, under the empowerment of the Source God Blade, reached the Tenth Tier.

In an instant, a time‑space river hundreds of light‑years wide and of immeasurable length stretched between Xiao Yu and the dark vortex.

Simultaneously, Eternal Fire and Eternal Ice were also deployed, and the Eternal Star Domain unfolded in an instant.

The Burning Divine Pearl also activated of its own accord, causing all secret technique potency to surge by one tier.

Instantly, the boundless domain power resisted the endless devouring force, and Cold Cliff Fortress finally fled at a speed of one hundred thousand times the speed of light.

Yet the dark vortex devoured the endless wind‑and‑thunder power, its expansion speed already reaching one million times the speed of light, far surpassing Cold Cliff Fortress's escape speed.

Xiao Yu only sensed the devouring force behind him growing ever stronger.

Then the Source God Blade was raised again, and successive blasts of "Destruction" were abruptly swung toward the dark vortex.

These attacks, whose potency reached the Fourteenth Tier, not only failed to impede the dark vortex's speed, but actually caused its velocity to skyrocket.

"Phantom Slash!"

In an instant, Cold Cliff Fortress was absorbed into his body, and thereafter, no Illusory Shadow manifested in Xiao Yu's surroundings.

"What's going on? No effect? How could this be?" Xiao Yu asked, bewildered.

For the first time, the Phantom Slash unexpectedly had no effect.

Watching the dark vortex about to engulf Xiao Yu, could this moment of crisis only end in waiting for death? (End of chapter)
