#344 - The world collapses
Hearing this, Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy, he always felt as if he had been caught up in some big trouble.
"Boy, although I don't know why you have found the path of cultivating immortality and refining Qi, you will need this old osmanthus to help you if you want to achieve great things in the future. Marrying this old osmanthus is beneficial and harmless to you. When you cultivate to the realm of 'advancing martial fire and retreating yin talisman' in the future, you will still have to rely on this old osmanthus to help you build an unparalleled foundation," said the Great自在天魔.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen only felt a headache, but now that the trouble had come to his door, he had no good way to avoid it.
"It's just using a little mana to nourish it every day, it's not a big deal for me," Zhang Chen could only constantly comfort himself.
As for the future competition for luck and the competition for great fortune, it was too far away for him. When his cultivation becomes strong in the future, no matter what the other party's background is, he will just kill them directly.
It was also a fortunate thing for Zhang Chen to take back the 定海神珠.
However, without incense and faith in Huangli Temple, the progress of his skills would inevitably be delayed, which also made him feel very annoyed.
Zhang Chen took back the 定海神珠 and returned to his small building to quietly cultivate, taking out and refining his slingshot. Now that there was no source of skill points, he could only rely on himself to actively comprehend skills.
While Zhang Chen was in quiet cultivation, time passed quickly, and the day when the space channel was about to close arrived. There were probably two months left before the space channel would collapse.
And the destruction date of the first heaven of the spiritual world was getting closer and closer.
If there were no accidents, the destruction of the space should come before the closing of the space channel.
"Boy, the first heaven of the spiritual world has already begun to be destroyed. If you want to absorb the power of the storm when the spiritual world collapses, you should set off now," the Great自在天魔 reminded Zhang Chen.
"What should I do?" Zhang Chen asked.
"When you enter the space channel, you will naturally know what to do," said the Great自在天魔.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen nodded, then put away the slingshot, and felt a little worried: "How is that big black dog? I'm just afraid that the big black dog will cause me trouble at a critical moment and delay my cultivation."
"The big black dog hasn't woken up yet! Even if the big black dog wakes up, you can just give him another brick," said the Great自在天魔.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen was surprised, he didn't expect that the power of his Pangu stone was so amazing, it had been two months and the big black dog hadn't woken up yet. Since there was no big black dog causing him trouble, Zhang Chen directly transformed into a vampire bat and flapped his wings and flew away. When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of the space channel. At this time, there were still crowds of people in front of the space channel, and people from various aristocratic families were constantly entering and exiting the space channel.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who want to take a gamble.
Zhang Chen mixed in with the crowd and watched the Pingbian Prince's Mansion constantly transfer one batch after another of civilians to their deaths, and also saw batches of Jianghu people entering the first heaven of the spiritual world to try their luck.
People constantly brought bundles of green grass out of the spiritual world. The green grass was ordinary in the spiritual world, but after coming to the material world, it inexplicably changed, exuding a mysterious aura and becoming a mysterious object.
Not only green grass, but also people carrying wooden buckets, carrying buckets of soil from the opposite spiritual world, and then being frantically snatched and bought by various families.
"Good fellow, these people are really scraping the ground three feet deep!" Zhang Chen looked at the people coming and going in and out of the space channel, and couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, these people were all Zhou扒皮.
However, every plant and tree in the spiritual world has mysterious power, and it will indeed have various incredible effects when taken to the material world.
Zhang Chen got himself a bamboo hat, put on the bamboo hat and passed through the two worlds channel, and came to the other end of the space channel. He saw dozens of miles of smoke and dust in front of him, and the place was barren. Not only were all the vegetation searched clean, but also tens of thousands of civilians were constantly digging the soil and transporting the soil out.
"It's really like locusts crossing the border," Zhang Chen muttered to himself, and then said to the Great自在天魔: "What should I do now?"
"Fly south, fly three thousand miles, you should be able to see the collapsing space," the Great自在天魔 looked at the distant sky and replied.
Zhang Chen flapped his wings and flew away, but in three days, he flew three thousand miles, and then his movements suddenly stopped in the void, and his eyes looked at the distant sky, his eyes full of horror.
What is the scene of space collapse?
It was as if a black tide was sweeping in, and the entire world was being destroyed wherever it passed.
Or the entire world was like a destroyed domino, breaking bit by bit from the edge, and the broken place revealed a dark space, with black storms flowing in the space, constantly eroding the edge of the world.
The collapse of the spiritual world is not an instant, it is a long process.
The whole process is like a biscuit being crushed from the edge, it is slowly delayed.
Along with the collapse of the distant space, a monstrous storm was rolled up in the spiritual world at this time, blowing sand and rocks, the sky was dark, like the end of the world, and the vampire bat transformed by Zhang Chen also swayed constantly with the hurricane.
"Did you see it? That is the space storm! You must pay attention, don't be swept into the space storm, otherwise if you lose your direction in the space storm, you are likely to slowly die of old age in the endless darkness," the voice of the Great自在天魔 was full of caution.
"This space storm is so terrifying, can I really resist it?" Zhang Chen looked at the dark nothingness stretching for hundreds of miles, like a beast's mouth, nibbling at the biscuit bit by bit, and couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate.
"If it is purely the power of space collapse, you certainly can't resist it, even if it is an existence at the 果 level, it is extremely difficult to resist space annihilation. But what is in front of you is the space storm born when the world collapses and is destroyed. The space storm destroys the spiritual world, leading to the collapse of the spiritual world, and also gives birth to the spiritual storm. Since it is a storm, it is of course within the scope of your 定风珠's restraint. Don't worry, no matter how fierce the storm is, it will definitely not be able to do anything to you," said the Great自在天魔.
Hearing the words of the Great自在天魔, Zhang Chen glanced at this guy, but he didn't dare to be careless. If this dog thing harmed him, wouldn't he die without a burial place?
So Zhang Chen manifested his original appearance on a mountain, his eyes looked at the expanding spiritual storm in the distance, and began to pinch the formula to try to absorb the wind in the spiritual storm.
The spiritual storm is born from the space storm destroying the spiritual world, so its expansion range is limited, always within ten miles of the space storm at the destruction of the world barrier.
The spiritual storm is inside the world, and the space storm is outside the world.
As for whether Zhang Chen will be left here after the space channel is closed, Zhang Chen is not worried. The spiritual storm is still three thousand miles away from the space channel, and according to the current speed, it will take three to five days to blow over.
Zhang Chen has 定风丹 in his hand, all the hurricanes are calm in an instant when they approach Zhang Chen, and then Zhang Chen pinches the formula in his hand, preparing to absorb the spiritual storm in the distance, but the dark spiritual storm is a hundred miles away from Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen cannot absorb it at this time.
"Kid, don't be a wimp! Directly charge into the mental storm and absorb the wind energy within it," the Great自在Heavenly Devil, that dog, kept urging Zhang Chen beside him.
Zhang Chen ignored the words of the Great自在Heavenly Devil. That dog only came up with insidious tricks all day long.
As the mental storm continued to approach, seeing the collapsing space like a prehistoric beast opening its bloody mouth and constantly approaching him, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little panicked as it got closer and closer. Fortunately, Zhang Chen's Wind-Fixing Pill flickered with rays of light, firmly covering Zhang Chen, allowing the external wind and sand to rage and darken the sky, but it couldn't do anything to Zhang Chen.
Just as the mental storm was ten miles away from Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen finally extracted a wisp of black wind energy from the void.
That wisp of black wind energy was extremely violent, distorting the world wherever it passed. The air was agitated by the impact of that wisp of mental storm, stirring up sand and dust explosions. However, after that wisp of mental storm was guided by Zhang Chen and entered the range of the Wind-Fixing Pill, it immediately quieted down and began to weaken and dissipate.
Zhang Chen couldn't let that wisp of mental storm be suppressed and dissipated by the power of the Wind-Fixing Pill, so he quickly absorbed the calmed storm power into the Hum Acupoint.
As that wisp of mental storm was absorbed into Zhang Chen's Hum Acupoint, Zhang Chen activated his secret technique. The wisp of mental storm was decomposed by mana, branded with his divine power, and refined in a mysterious way. Then, when the mental storm disappeared, a few grains of black sand fell into the Hum Acupoint.
There was a vortex of Yin wind flowing in the Hum Acupoint. At this time, the black sand fell directly into the Yin wind vortex and was drawn by the Yin wind vortex.
"Success!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed to see this scene.
The mental storm was ten miles away from him, but the aftermath of the mental storm had already swept over in advance, and ten miles was the range Zhang Chen estimated.
Starting from the core of the mental storm, the power of the aftermath of the mental storm would be annihilated by the power of the material world once it exceeded ten miles, so Zhang Chen estimated that the distance of ten miles was a limit distance.
Once it exceeded ten miles, the mental storm would disappear.
Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in place, constantly breathing in and capturing the aftermath of the mental storm in the air. One grain of black sand after another was refined by Zhang Chen and scattered in the Hum Acupoint.
As the mental storm approached, the mental storm power absorbed by Zhang Chen became faster and faster.
Eight miles.
Seven miles.
Five miles.
...
The mental storm continued to approach Zhang Chen, but seeing the Wind-Fixing Pill flickering around Zhang Chen, no matter how fierce the mental storm was, raging and darkening the sky, shaking the earth and mountains, it couldn't do anything to him.
At this time, Zhang Chen believed the words of the Great自在Heavenly Devil. The mental storm really couldn't do anything to the Wind-Fixing Pill.
As the mental storm got closer and closer, the mental storm power in the air began to become abundant. The speed at which Zhang Chen refined the mental storm became faster and faster. When the mental storm approached within a mile, Zhang Chen stopped absorbing the mental storm and looked at the approaching dark void outside the world barrier with a shrunken pupil.
At this time, he could see clearly at close range that in the darkness, there were chaotic spatial storms sweeping and raging, constantly destroying the edge of the mental world.
The mental world and the spatial storms in the darkness were clearly distinct. The spatial storms were in the endless darkness, and there was a mysterious force in the mental world that resisted the invasion of the spatial storms in the darkness and resisted the intrusion of the spatial storms.
Even if the mental world instinctively resisted, the spatial storms still affected the mental world through space, causing material collapse, disintegration, and agitation, and stirring up mental storms.
The mental storm power that Zhang Chen absorbed at this time was just the energy from the mental world being destroyed by the spatial storms.
In Zhang Chen's view, the entire mental world at this time was like a piece of paper, and the spatial storms in the endless darkness were like a burning flame. The flame was burning the paper little by little, slowly but firmly.
And the mental storm that Zhang Chen absorbed was just a spark that had not yet been extinguished, floating from the flame.
The dark void was like a big mouth, and wherever it passed, the mountains disappeared directly, the earth was annihilated, and vegetation and other objects disappeared with it.
"That darkness is the endless void. Once you are drawn in, you will lose your way," the Great自在Heavenly Devil reminded Zhang Chen in his ear.
Zhang Chen looked at the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers slowly disappearing under the 'dark giant mouth' and was extremely shocked: "Those mountains? Matter? Vegetation? Were they all destroyed by the spatial storm?"
"That's right!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil nodded: "Only some things that are not afraid of spatial storms will be thrown out in the spatial storm and fall into the material world, which is the material world you are in now."
Zhang Chen was extremely shocked. Seeing the spatial storm constantly approaching, he turned around and ran without saying a word.
He didn't want to be drawn in and try the power of the spatial storm.
At this time, the world was full of wind and sand, and it was really dark and gloomy.
Fortunately, Zhang Chen had the Wind-Fixing Pearl. After running ten miles away, he sat cross-legged again and began to capture the mental storm.
Before long, in Zhang Chen's watching eyes, the mountain where he had been sitting disappeared into the dark space.
The dark void on the opposite side seemed to be a bottomless pit. Anything that fell into it would be swallowed cleanly.
Zhang Chen worked hard to capture the mental storm and increase his own background.
As the mental storm approached again, Zhang Chen got up and fled again. However, when Zhang Chen fled this time, he suddenly thought of the big black dog: "I said, is that big black dog awake? Could that guy have been swept into the spatial storm and lost his life?"
"You're thinking too much. How can a mere spatial storm do anything to that big black dog?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil said unhurriedly: "Worry about yourself first."
Zhang Chen thought about it and felt that it was true. The Emperor's Daughter could break through spatial barriers and forcibly open a passage in the spatial turbulence. Although the big black dog was not as good as the Emperor's Daughter, it should not be afraid of the spatial storm.
"I wonder what kind of power the mental storm I have cultivated will have when it is unleashed," Zhang Chen secretly looked forward to.
Then Zhang Chen began to concentrate on cultivation, swallowing all kinds of mysterious Qi in the world.
However, as the mental storm approached again, Zhang Chen noticed the change in time: "The speed at which this mental storm spread ten miles is faster than before! At least fifty breaths faster."
"That's for sure. Mental storms will form a chain reaction, like a fire burning a house. As the fire starts, it will only burn faster and faster, eventually sweeping the entire world," the Great自在Heavenly Devil said.
Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this. According to the Great自在Heavenly Devil, the speed of the mental storm was getting faster and faster, and the time left for him was indeed running out. Thinking of this, he looked at the approaching mental storm, but he didn't dare to delay. He got up and ran ten miles away.
