Chapter 346 It seems that God is still looking out for me.
"Even worse..."
Old Ancestor Youquan paused, his tone becoming even more sinister.
"What if he were teleported directly outside the world barrier..."
Upon hearing the words "outside the world barrier," the expressions of all the elders present changed slightly.
That was a true no-go zone.
It is not only patrolled by an endless army of demons, but also a paradise for countless extraterrestrial creatures.
"good!"
An elder standing nearby lit up and chimed in.
"Outside the barrier, void beasts roam freely! Those beasts reach the ninth level of cultivation upon adulthood, with thick skin and tough flesh. Even we in our prime dared not easily provoke them."
"In Duanmu Hong's current state, encountering a void behemoth would be certain death!"
This conclusion immediately eased the previously heavy and oppressive atmosphere considerably.
Everyone nodded in agreement, as if they could already see Duanmu Hong dying tragically in the jaws of the void behemoth.
"Fellow Daoist Youquan is right."
"Hmph, well, he was just unlucky and brought this upon himself!"
"Since Duanmu Hong is practically dead, we don't need to waste our energy on him anymore."
Seeing that the situation had been stabilized, Patriarch Youquan immediately seized the opportunity to change the subject.
"Alright, let's put an end to Duanmu Hong's matter. The most urgent thing now is to think about what to do on the Void Battlefield."
"That great formation was severely damaged, the demon army is pressing in, and there's that newly promoted ninth-tier demon emperor..."
The crowd's attention was finally drawn back to the main topic, and they began to discuss strategies for "keeping a firm foothold in the rear."
……
【Beyond the Heavenly Mystery Realm, in the Depths of the Endless Void】
This is the true land of chaos.
There is no light, no air, and no gravity.
Only eternal darkness, and the occasional dazzling yet deadly energy rays streaking across the distance.
This is a forbidden zone for life, and also a vast ocean beyond the "lone boat" of the Heavenly Mystery Realm.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, a peaceful void began to twist violently.
A silver spatial rift suddenly tore open, and then a disheveled figure fell out of it.
"Thump."
Duanmu Hong crashed heavily to the ground, the momentum causing him to roll several times before coming to a stop.
"Cough cough... Pfft!"
As soon as he landed, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The side effects of the teleportation talisman, combined with his previous severe injuries, made him feel as if his body was falling apart, and even moving a finger was excruciatingly painful.
Duanmu Hong lay on the ground, panting heavily, greedily inhaling the power of the surrounding spatial laws.
"At least we survived."
He gave a wry smile.
Although I don't know where I am, as long as I'm not in the Burial Valley of Emperors, and as long as I haven't died at the hands of those old guys, there is still hope.
A moment later, Duanmu Hong, who had regained a little strength, struggled to sit up and cautiously looked around.
It was pitch black all around; there were no stars in sight, and no direction could be discerned.
However, his brow furrowed suddenly when his palm touched the ground.
"Um?"
"This texture feels wrong, very wrong."
In the void, there is either nothingness or floating meteorites.
But the ground beneath their feet was hard yet resilient, and its coldness seemed to contain a terrifying temperature.
Duanmu Hong lowered his head and carefully examined the ground beneath his feet.
Upon seeing this, his pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
What they saw beneath their feet was not rock or soil, but enormous, black shield-like scales.
Each scale is the size of a house, engraved with extremely intricate patterns, exuding an ancient, wild, and noble aura.
As the master of the Demon-Slaying Hall, Duanmu Hong, who was well-read, instantly thought of a legendary creature.
"Living in endless void..."
"They feed on the stars..."
"Upon reaching adulthood, one reaches the ninth rank, possessing a body comparable to that of the continent..."
"This...this is..."
Duanmu Hong's face turned deathly pale instantly, and even his lips began to tremble.
Void Beast!
Moreover, judging from the density and color of these scales, this is definitely not a cub.
This is a ninth-tier void behemoth that has reached adulthood!
At this moment, Duanmu Hong was just like an insignificant flea standing on the back of this primordial behemoth!
"Gulp."
Duanmu Hong swallowed hard, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He stood frozen in place, not daring to move, and even forcibly held his breath.
He knew very well that in his current state of utter exhaustion, let alone fighting this monster, even if it rolled over and crushed him, he would be turned into mincemeat.
"Don't panic...don't panic..."
Duanmu Hong frantically tried to comfort himself in his heart.
"Void behemoths are lazy by nature and spend most of their time sleeping, sometimes for tens of thousands of years."
"As long as it's asleep, as long as I don't make too much noise and sneak away quietly... there should still be a chance."
To verify his conjecture, he carefully released an extremely faint wisp of divine sense to sense the fluctuations in the surrounding aura.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
The colossal creature beneath their feet remained motionless, its aura completely suppressed, like a desolate continent.
"call……"
Upon confirming this, Duanmu Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling half of his anxiety lifted.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and managed a weak, relieved smile as if he had survived a close call.
"It seems that God is still looking out for me."
"This big guy is sleeping very soundly; as long as I'm very gentle..."
However, just as he was about to tiptoe to the edge, wanting to leave this place of trouble...
Suddenly, a chilling sensation shot straight from my tailbone to the top of my head!
It was the feeling of being "watched" by some terrifying being.
Duanmu Hong's foot froze in mid-air.
His smile froze on his face, his neck clicked like a rusty gear, and he turned his head stiffly to look behind him.
All that could be seen was the endless darkness of the void.
Before anyone knew it, two enormous "golden full moons" were hanging there silently.
No, that's not the moon, that's a pair of eyes.
A pair of enormous vertical pupils that exude endless majesty.
The owner of those eyes was slightly raising his enormous, mountain-like head, staring with interest at the tiny human on his back, who was trying to sneak away like an ant.
In this desolate void, the human and the beast shared a deep, cross-species gaze.
The surrounding void seemed to freeze at that moment.
Duanmu Hong stared at those eyes, which were thousands of times larger than his entire body, and his mind went completely blank.
"..."
silence.
A suffocating silence.
Duanmu Hong felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost fell to the ground.
Damn it, this void behemoth not only didn't fall asleep, but also discovered itself.
"Dear family members watching on screen!"
"What do you think I need to do to survive?"
"Waiting online! It's urgent!"
