A hundred kilometres behind Lu Ye, Tang Jun, who was chasing after him like a mad dog, witnessed this unforeseen event with his own eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.
With Yue Yao's cultivation and a lifespan of more than three thousand years, in terms of knowledge and experience, Lu Ye naturally could not compare.
Therefore, he could see the problem at a glance.
This area of Space had collapsed!
This was obviously a sudden and accidental event. Tang Jun had only heard of such a thing from others a long time ago and never thought he would encounter it one day.
The probability of such a thing happening was simply too small.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly stopped and turned around to leave this area.
However, the speed of the Space Collapse was so fast that even though he was a hundred kilometres away from Lu Ye and his reaction was not slow, he still could not escape.
Almost at the same time as he turned around, the space around him began to shatter and Tang Jun instantly felt as if he had stepped on empty air. Immediately after, he experienced the feeling of powerlessness that Lu Ye had experienced before.
Even though his cultivation was much higher than Lu Ye's, under the terrifying suction force, he still had no room to resist and his body slipped uncontrollably into the area of Space Collapse, following in Lu Ye's footsteps.
The two figures disappeared and the Space Collapse and shattering became even more violent, rapidly spreading in all directions. It was a long time before it gradually subsided. In this part of the Starry Sky, a huge circular portal appeared, the inside of which was turbid and chaotic, leading to some unknown place.
In this chaotic and disorderly place, Lu Ye urged his Spirit Qi to protect his body, but the effect was weak. A mysterious force that he could not understand was surging in all directions. Under the constant erosion of this mysterious force, his protective Spirit Qi was broken again and again, and soon he was covered in blood, even a layer of his flesh being scraped off.
He slowly realized what had happened.
In terms of knowledge and experience, he was indeed inferior to Tang Jun, but for better or worse, he had read a lot of Jade Slips in the Dwarf Race's Rest Abyss Pavilion. Comparing his current experience with the records he had read in a Jade Slip, he naturally understood.
He had inadvertently induced the birth of an Insect Path!
The Starry Sky was filled with dangers, not just from the various Star Beasts and masters of the various major races, but also some extremely hidden, naturally dangerous places.
It was a naturally dangerous place. Normally, one wouldn't be able to see any clues from the surface, but in reality, it was a place where cultivators' expressions would change.
That was the place where space was weak.
Under normal circumstances, every space was extremely sturdy. No matter how much time passed, there would not be much change.
However, the starry sky was vast, and there were always some special places where space was extremely fragile. Some were natural, while some were caused by other special reasons. For example … the nurturing of the Insect Dao.
The Insect Path was not directly related to the Insects. The Insect Path was only a name. Strictly speaking, the Insect Path was a void passage where both ends were connected to two locations in the vast starry sky. Entering from one end of the Insect Path would allow one to cross the barrier of space and easily arrive at the other end, saving a lot of time on the journey.
In the starry skies, there were many such Insect Pathways. Many experts would rely on stable Insect Pathways to achieve the goal of rapidly traveling between two specific locations. The Insect Path was not an eternal existence. Some were slowly disappearing while others were being born.
The space at the two ends of the Insect Path that was being born was undoubtedly the place where space was weak. As time passed, it would become weaker and weaker until one day, it would completely collapse and turn into the entrances of the Insect Path.
Lu Ye did not expect himself to be so unlucky to encounter such a thing. There were too many coincidences in this.
Under Tang Jun's pursuit, he had coincidentally arrived at this location.
This location was coincidentally where the entrance to the Insect Path was born.
He had also coincidentally constructed the Void Spirit Rune here …
Under normal circumstances, even if it was a place where space was weak, a cultivator passing by would not cause any changes unless they happened to coincide with the birth of the Insect Path. However, this probability was not very likely.
However, Lu Ye had constructed the Void Spirit Rune.
The Void Spirit Rune involved some of the mysteries of space. The moment the Void Spirit Rune was successfully constructed, it undoubtedly caused some changes in this space, causing the Insect Path's entrance to appear prematurely. That was why this fragile space shattered and collapsed.
The Insect Path's appearance was caused by him. If it were not for him, the Insect Path might only appear after a few decades or a few centuries.
Understanding this, Lu Ye immediately realized that he was in big trouble!
When the Insect Path was first born, it was extremely unstable and could not be smoothly passed through. It could even be said that not every Insect Path could be passed through. Even if some Insect Paths had been born for a long time, they were still extremely chaotic inside. Even if Rizhao entered, he would lose himself and fall into it.
Most Insect Paths would undergo a period of evolution and slowly become convenient for cultivators to pass through.
No matter what, the Insect Path he was in was definitely a place that could kill.
This was the first time he had experienced such a thing. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with it. Carefully recalling the information he had read in the Dwarf Tribe's jade slip, he quickly calmed his mind and allowed the mysterious power around him to wrap around him. He did not dare to resist. This was because the information recorded in the jade slip said that if he really encountered such a thing, the best choice was to let nature take its course. If he was lucky, he might be swept out of the Insect Path by the mysterious power. Any resistance would only make the situation worse.
At this moment, Lu Ye felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea. There were undercurrents under the sea. One moment, he would be swept in one direction by an undercurrent, and the next moment, he would be swept in another direction by another undercurrent …
After a few times, he completely lost his sense of direction.
After experiencing it personally, he finally felt the danger of this newly born Insect Path. If a cultivator fell into such a place, it would be easy for them to lose their sense of direction. Without a sense of direction, even if they had the ability to break out, they would not be able to find a suitable place.
As for what the mysterious power that was wrapping around him was, Lu Ye could not tell. Intuitively, it was like a sharp blade, scraping every inch of his skin.
His protective spirit energy was constantly being broken in the process. He kept urging it, but the effect was minimal. Several layers of his skin and flesh had been scraped off, and every part of his body was in intense pain.
How to escape was the problem he had to consider at this moment. The probability of relying on the strange undercurrent to wrap him up and escape from this place was not high. If he did not try, only death would await him.
But what should he do?
Just as Lu Ye was pondering, a familiar roar suddenly came from not far away.
It was Tang Jun's voice!
This guy had actually fallen into this place.
Based on his voice, it was obvious that he was urging his power to fight against the surrounding environment. However, it was hard to say how effective it was.
Lu Ye's mood instantly improved!
If he was the only one who had fallen into this place and Tang Jun escaped, then the Nine States would be in danger. Tang Jun would definitely search everywhere for the cultivators of the Nine States. The Peerless Continent was only a year's journey from the Nine States. With Tang Jun's ability, it was not impossible for him to find the Nine States.
At that time, without him holding the fort, the cultivators of the Nine States would not have the red talisman with them. How could they defeat Yue Yao?
Now that Tang Jun had fallen into this Insect Path, whether or not he could leave this place alive was another matter. How would he be able to find trouble with the Nine States?
He finally had a companion! They were truly in the same boat.
Tang Jun's voice only appeared for a moment before it disappeared. Both of them were wrapped in the fierce undercurrent, unable to control their bodies. Just now, they were not far away, but now, Tang Jun was definitely far away.
Lu Ye could not be bothered to think too much about Tang Jun. Right now, he needed to think about himself. He had only fallen into this place for a moment, but he already felt like he could not hold on any longer. In the end, he was only at the early stage of the Constellation Realm. He had not even refined the essence of his flesh to the extreme. Although his physical injuries usually healed quickly, it was not to the extent that he could regenerate his flesh. This kind of thing could only be done by refining the essence of his flesh to the extreme and advancing to the middle stage of the Constellation Realm.
Right now, his entire body was covered in blood, and there was not a single part of him that was unscathed. If this continued, he was really going to die.
Lu Ye had no choice but to stuff a handful of Spiritual Jades into his mouth first, then take out the Dragon Throne.
With the scarlet armor on his body, Lu Ye could clearly feel his foundation being continuously devoured. Fortunately, his cultivation level was now high, so he could hold on for a longer time.
However, there would eventually be a time when his Spiritual Qi would be exhausted.
He had to find a way to escape before his strength was exhausted.
He tried hard to recall the various details of the intelligence he had seen in the jade slips of Resting Abyss Pavilion, hoping to find a suitable solution from them. Unfortunately, he came up with nothing. The omnipresent undercurrent was still washing over them, but with the Dragon Emperor's protection, Lu Ye's body was unharmed. Only the Dragon Emperor was constantly emitting creaking sounds. It seemed that even the Dragon Emperor's armor wouldn't be able to last much longer.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye had an idea and put away the Dragon Throne.
He activated the power of the Talent Tree. In an instant, countless tiny roots that were hard to detect covered Lu Ye's entire body.
His idea was very simple. The Talent Tree could devour energy, not just spirit stones and Spiritual Jades, but even the Spiritual Qi in a cultivator's body. Then, this strange energy in the surroundings … could it also be devoured?
If that was the case, with the help of the Talent Tree, perhaps he could resist the erosion of that strange energy.
After some testing, Lu Ye found that his idea was correct. The Talent Tree could indeed devour that strange erosion power, but the problem was that the speed of devouring was not fast enough. Therefore, in the process of devouring, he would still be injured by the erosion. However, compared to before, it was indeed a little bit lighter …
If the Talent Tree's devouring power was strong enough, it would definitely be able to help him resolve the crisis before him. Unfortunately, it was not yet possible.
But soon, Lu Ye had a strange feeling. As the Talent Tree devoured the Void Spirit Runes, he had a strange feeling in his heart. This feeling was unclear, but it inexplicably deepened his understanding of the Void Spirit Runes.
That was a strange thing indeed.
