The Immortal Tan sat much longer than Jing Jiu. He didn't leave Chaotian until he was certain that the fairy energy he had collected was equal to the energy of heaven and earth he had brought with him. However, the direction he took was different from Jing Jiu's.
In the next moment, Jian Xilai arrived and sat on the bamboo chair.
It seemed that the bamboo chair had become a place for the ascendants after they left Chaotian.
As soon as Jian Xilai started to forge the fairy man, a black figure as large as a mountain blocked the distant white fireball.
The speaker was Cao Yuan. His Cultivation state was not inferior to that of the Immortal Tan and Jian Xilai; but it was more difficult for him to think it through than anything else.
"Do you want to sit down?" Jian Xilai asked.
Cao Yuan shook his head while looking at the bamboo chair.
There was no heaven and earth in this dark and cold world, and there was no weight. He didn't have to worry about his heavy golden body crushing the bamboo chair. The problem was that he couldn't sit in it.
After a long while, they left this place one after the other, heading in a different direction from Jing Jiu and the Immortal Tan.
…
…
There was no heaven and earth in the dark space of the universe. Naturally, there was no up or down, no left or right. There were countless directions.
Even if they came from the same place, it was difficult for them to walk the same path.
Jing Jiu had his own direction.
The universe had no boundaries and no existence. It was extremely empty, but there were still some traces left behind.
It was the familiar scent of the Fiend Prison and the purple flower, in addition to the scent of the Sword Jail and the Shenmo Peak; to put it more precisely, it was the scent of Ada.
Only Cold Cicadas and those mosquitoes could have such a smell.
The smell was already very faint, like a drop of ink falling into the sea, but he still caught it, indicating that the Snow Girl had left from this direction.
He didn't have any sensory abilities, nor did he have a sense of smell. This kind of capture was more like a kind of analysis of small things.
He was looking for the Snow Girl, because she had uttered a soft "eh" after she had ascended. It was obvious that she had encountered something that surprised even her. Was it possible that she had encountered the rumored heavenly demons of the outside world, the powerful enemies that the Cultivation circle in Chaotian had been wary of for many years and the likes of Taiping Zhenren had come up with the idea of destroying the world?
He turned into an inconspicuous glimmer of light in the dark background and headed toward the depths of the distant universe.
After an unknown amount of time, he reappeared.
Those scents disappeared here, or rather, they were replaced by another scent.
The background of the universe was dark. In the distance, there were some indistinct, extremely faint dark patches. One could see a small black dot there, darker than the color of the surroundings.
The sword fire illuminated his face, and his eyelashes shimmered.
He did not need light to see the object clearly. He ignited the sword fire in order to stop at a faster speed.
The flame did not go up, but turned into a fireball.
The little black dot grew bigger and bigger, gradually revealing its true appearance, like a black dandelion without a handle.
It reminded him of Ada.
As he got closer and closer, the black object grew larger and larger, occupying a large part of his field of vision. It was like a small mountain.
With the increase in size, anything would appear terrifying. Hence, the weak black dandelion turned into a cold and terrifying black monster.
The monster was completely black, with thousands of extremely thin tentacles growing out of its body.
There was no wind in the universe, so the tentacles did not flutter. However, they should be soft and could move freely when they were alive.
Yes, the black ball-shaped monster with countless tentacles was already dead.
Jing Jiu confirmed that there was no trace of activity inside, no fluctuation of aura, and it was extremely cold, even colder than the surrounding universe.
He reached out his hand to touch the monster gently. The touch was a bit strange, like a combination of leather and crystals, and it was somewhat disgusting.
To his surprise, when he tried to enter the monster's body, he found that the monster's skin was extremely tough, countless times stronger than those of the monsters in the Snowy Country. He could feel a clear resistance when his fingers broke open the monster's skin. If this was the corpse of an Extraterrestrial Demon, how strong would it have been when it was alive if it could still have such a strong defense after its death? Together with such a huge body, it could easily destroy a sword boat of Aoyama with one strike.
Several tentacles left the monster's corpse and slowly floated outward. An enormous crack slowly appeared on the surface of the monster.
Jing Jiu flew in and found that it was midair inside. It looked like a cave full of stalactites.
Those stalactites should be the protrusions of the mucous membranes, and those dark and gray bands should be a kind of fascia used to transmit energy.
The scene inside the monster's corpse was as disgusting and uncomfortable as the feeling of the skin.
Jing Jiu was certain that this peculiar body structure didn't exist in any living being in Chaotian, but he somehow felt a sense of familiarity with it.
The monster didn't have a core for transmitting energy. To use the analogy of the humans and the demons, it didn't have a heart. A few cocoon-like objects were suspended in the middle of the monster; it was unclear if they were storage devices or thinking organs.
Jing Jiu flew around the monster's body at a high speed and memorized all the shapes and distribution of the objects. Then he came to the front of a few cocoon-like objects.
The surface of the cocoons was covered with a layer of frost, indicating that this was the only place in the monster's body that had something similar to water.
Jing Jiu reached out his finger and touched one of the cocoons lightly. He felt a tingling sensation, but he wasn't sure what kind of energy it was.
Without a sound, the cocoon-like object disintegrated, turning into countless ice crystals that slowly floated in all directions.
Jing Jiu had guessed that this was the work of the Snow Girl; he merely wanted to confirm it. He flew out of the monster's corpse and flew a few miles away before he turned around to take a look.
The broken ice crystals of the cocoon-like objects had already touched the inner wall of the monster's corpse. The black monster quivered slightly, thousands of tentacles on its surface waving slowly.
The black monster turned back into a black dandelion without a handle, as if it were drifting in the wind.
Jing Jiu had the familiar feeling again.
…
…
The Fiend Prison and Ada were nowhere to be found in the quiet space of the universe.
The Snow Girl had become more cautious after killing the black monster; she must have put away Cold Cicada.
Where should Jing Jiu go now?
If the black dandelion like monster was the heavenly demon of the outside world as imagined by the Cultivation practitioners, there would be more than one of them.
Jing Jiu lifted his finger and sniffed the gray ice crystal on the tip of his finger, and then headed toward the source of the smell.
As he flew, he encountered a few more black dandelion like monsters, and was increasingly convinced that they were the so-called heavenly demons of the outside world. Those heavenly demons of the outside world had all turned into cold corpses. Jing Jiu knew that he was heading in the right direction, and that the Snow Girl was heading in this direction. As such, he sped up.
After flying for a long while, Jing Jiu suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at the white fireball.
The white fireball had become very small, exuding a tranquil and dim glow in the distant dark space.
Jing Jiu thought that this was the star.
…
…
Jing Jiu turned around and continued flying forward.
There was another star waiting for him in front of him.
The star grew larger and larger, and turned into another sun.
This sun was a red fireball, very large, with some tongues of fire coming out from its surface.
He didn't have time to appreciate this magnificent scene before it disappeared.
A huge shadow blocked the fireball.
It was the same as when the Dead Dog used his body to block the sun in the sky.
There were hundreds of thousands of thin tentacles on the surface of the shadow. Judging from the shape, it looked like those monsters he had seen along the way, exuding a very cold and dreadful energy, giving off a feeling that it could swallow everything.
Jing Jiu sensed a strong sense of danger.
This heavenly demon of the outside world was hundreds of times larger than the ones he had seen before. The worst part was that those tentacles were drifting slowly, like the wild grass at the bottom of the water. It was because this demon of the outside world was alive.
A powerful energy wave came out from the shadow, heading toward various places in the universe. It was evident that the demon was searching for something.
The energy wave would soon arrive at the space where Jing Jiu was.
Jing Jiu had thought of many things in a short time.
This heavenly demon of the outside world must have come here for his deceased subordinates or descendants, so it must be much stronger.
Judging from the time, the Snow Girl should have left not long ago.
Given her temperament, there was only one possibility that she hadn't killed this heavenly demon of the outside world; she wasn't sure that she could kill it.
Where should Jing Jiu flee to then?
…
…
As Jing Jiu was thinking of all this, the energy wave of the heavenly demon of the outside world had already swept over the space where he was.
Jing Jiu didn't show any fear. He looked at the huge black dandelion one hundred miles away in Silence.
While flying in the universe, he could see some meteorites once in a while, especially when he was close to the red fireball in front of him. The number of meteorites increased.
At the moment, he had no breath, no temperature, no heartbeat, no energy, and nothing at all.
It was believed that a lifeform in a higher state wouldn't be able to distinguish him from a meteorite.
Back when he participated in the Cultivation tournament of the Plum Meeting, his Cultivation state was still very low, but he was able to kill a great many monsters of the Snowy Kingdom in one night.
As expected, the energy wave of the heavenly demon of the outside world didn't linger after sweeping over the space where he was, heading to another place.
It was time for Jing Jiu to leave; but he suddenly thought of something.
This place was very far away from Chaotian, but it was still possible for this lifeform of the heavenly demon of the outside world to find the place by following the tracks.
The white fireball was the nearest star to this place.
Hmm.
Looking at the heavenly demon of the outside world, Jing Jiu raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
No sound could be heard in the dark space.
Yet, a ball of sword fire lit up on the tip of his finger.
The fireball was very eye-catching.
It looked like a star.
