Yun Yang could only feel himself floating, his body completely weightless. His deific consciousness was blurry and he did not know where he was.
However, there was a solemn and dignified voice that kept echoing in the surroundings.
"The heaven and earth are black and yellow, the universe is barren, the lower realm's commoners come knocking on my door; the way is the way, there is no hesitation; the country has its laws, the heaven has its rules, the way has its path, the way has its rules; the heaven and earth are heartless, the people are limitless; keep your heart and mind, it's inauspicious to go against it; in the martial world, the strong is king; do not indulge in lust or lust, those who go against it shall be hurt; in the martial world, heaven will pay; good will be rewarded, evil will be punished; the ruler is above, do not think and do not measure …"
The words were repeated over and over again in his mind for a good seventy to eighty times!
In the end, when Yun Yang felt that he could recite it backwards …
Another solemn voice came unexpectedly, "Entering the Bound of Universe, the ruler is free to soar; the heaven's rules are in your heart, you shall not go against it. Disobey, you shall die! Don't blame me for not warning you! "
Then, Yun Yang felt himself being lifted off the ground, falling rapidly like he was carrying a thousand catties.
He did not know how high up he was in the sky. Falling so quickly, it would be fine if he was injured, but he would not fall to his death just like that, would he?
Yun Yang tried his best to gather spiritual Qi to lighten his body and decelerate to reduce the speed of his fall, but it was all in vain. The spiritual Qi in his body, which had always been at his command, was now completely sealed, unable to be mobilized at all.
Even Emmie had lost contact with him just like before, as if it did not exist at all!
If he had only fallen at a high speed, Yun Yang would still have room to maneuver despite his precarious situation. However, the thunder and lightning that kept rumbling around him became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Bolt after bolt of lightning struck him with perfect accuracy. His entire body was enveloped in an excruciating pain, as if he was being torn apart. Under the continuous and escalating assault of the pain, Yun Yang could not help but faint.
Boom!
Yun Yang's body landed in a dense forest like a meteorite.
The entire ground shook three times as a certain someone fell to the ground.
Dust billowed into the sky, covering the entire area. Yun Yang's body sank deep into the soil like he was burying himself, unable to see the light of day.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yang slowly woke up. It was one thing for him to regain his consciousness, but the fact that he could not see his own fingers and that his nose and mouth were suffocating were reminding him that he was currently buried in the ground. Yun Yang dared not delay as he tried his best to circulate the spiritual Qi in his body. If he wanted to break out of the ground, he had to at least use the earth manifestation power. It would be a great irony if the Nine Supremes and Nine Elemental Powers were to perish in the ground due to suffocation.
Just as Yun Yang took a breath, the spiritual Qi in his dantian responded like a tsunami. A massive, unstoppable force carried Yun Yang out of the ground with a loud boom.
Yun Yang was completely unprepared for the sudden turn of events. He was still stuck in the fear of not being able to circulate his spiritual Qi, falling freely from a high altitude and being buried deep underground. His best plan was to be able to circulate a portion of his essential Qi or turn into the earth manifestation to support himself out of the predicament of being buried deep underground. If he could not even do this, it was not impossible to contact Emmie and ask it to provide him with a portion of his life force to avoid the situation of dying knowing about it.
Unexpectedly, the circulation speed of his spiritual Qi was more than twice as fast as when he was in Tianxuan Continent. Although it was only a thought and a breath of Qi, he was able to escape the shackles of the ground and see the light of day once again!
Although Yun Yang was free, the doubts in his heart grew. He could not even circulate a single strand of spiritual Qi when he fell just now. How could he suddenly improve by leaps and bounds when he woke up? What was going on?
Yun Yang, who was in midair, lost his balance, which was a rare occurrence. He shot out horizontally and then shot up into the sky like a cannonball. His movement defied logic, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Poof!
Yun Yang's Qi dissipated and he returned to the ground. However, he realized that the ground he was standing on seemed to be a little soft. Looking down, he could not help but be shocked.
The ground was filled with piles of fallen leaves that were several feet deep.
Furthermore, they were all leaves that had just fallen and had yet to rot completely!
Yun Yang's doubts grew. What kind of tree could shed so many leaves in one season?
This should not be the case. If it had been more than a year, they would have rotted long ago.
How could they be so fresh and wilted?
When he lifted his head and looked around, he was shocked once more.
"Where am I?!"
This was a dense forest, the kind that was deep in the mountains where no one would ever tread!
A place like this should be an area where plants and flowers grew the most luxuriant. However, when he looked out, all he could see was a scene of wilted yellow. It could be said that the entire place was dead silent and withered.
It was true. As far as his eyes could see, be it the plants or the towering trees, they were all wilted. There was no sign of life, not even a hint of greenery.
In spite of this, the massive tree trunks were still standing on the ground, the branches still sticking out.
"What's going on? Why are the trees all dead? "Yun Yang looked around, unable to comprehend the situation.
With his eyesight, he could tell that these trees were still alive and thriving two to three days ago at the latest!
Some of the branches still had signs of healthy sprouts, but they were all withered now.
Under such circumstances, they would have been blown away by the wind even if it had been more than two days.
However, here came the puzzling question – what could have caused these trees to wither in such a short period of time?
Yun Yang tried to move his body to make sure that the explosion just now was not a coincidence. Only then did he stand up and move his body a few more times to make sure that there was no discomfort in his body. Instead, he was more agile and his vital Qi flowed energetically. He was in a state that he had never been in before.
Deep in thought, he walked to a large tree and extended his hand to support it, murmuring, "What's going on?"
Suddenly, there was a poof. Just as he touched the tree with his hand, the tree, which was so thick that it would take at least a dozen people to wrap their arms around it, suddenly turned into dust with a bang and fluttered down.
Yun Yang retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, dumbfounded.
'Just now, I … I didn't use any spiritual energy in my hand … Besides, even if I used a considerable amount of cultivation, I could indeed smash this tree into powder, but it seems that I can't do it in such a state where there's no moisture at all …'
How could I have such a powerful being!?
Today was probably Yun Yang's day of shock. Unexpected situations came one after another, one after another.
As the huge tree suddenly turned into dust, it was as if a signal horn had been blown. All the trees in the surroundings seemed to have been summoned, and without exception, they all fell down in large swathes!
Then, they turned into dust as well.
Yun Yang soared into the air and stood high in the air, watching in bewilderment as all the trees within a radius of hundreds of miles from where he was fell, turning into dust from near to far. Everywhere he looked, the dust obscured his vision.
And in this entire area, it seemed like he was the only one close to this earth-shattering dust.
Other than that, there was nothing else with any signs of life.
Yun Yang, who was hovering in the air, was dumbstruck.
