Lin Xiao circled around the Sky Piercing Wind Pillar and went down a few thousand kilometers. He went past forty to fifty floating islands and finally found traces of humans on a large floating island that was thousands of square kilometers in size.
However, these were only native humans. There were hundreds of thousands of humans on the floating island. They had developed a decent civilization and had grasped the power of magic. Huge airships traveled to and fro different floating islands.
With this large floating island as the center, there were nearly 100 floating islands of various sizes within a diameter of 1,000 kilometers. There were traces of human natives on 20 of the floating islands. It was equivalent to colonization, and there were about two million humans in total. Among the various races that Lin Xiao had seen on the hundreds of floating islands, this was the largest number.
Once there were different races, in order to compete for survival and territory, there would naturally be wars. Although there weren't many races, their battles were still impressive. Humans relied on airships to travel to and fro different floating islands to attack. They were considered the overlords of the many floating islands.
Lin Xiao watched with interest for a long time. The humans living on these floating islands didn't notice him.
Although there was a very powerful existence hidden in the Sky Piercing Wind Pillar, there weren't any powerful creatures on the surrounding floating islands. There wasn't even a true god level existence.
However, this didn't mean that there weren't any experts in this space. The flow of time in this space was so stable. It would definitely attract a large number of outsiders who wandered in the Chaos Domain to settle down here.
The prerequisite was that they could find this world alive.
After leaving a mark on a floating island around this Sky Piercing Wind Pillar, Lin Xiao left this floating island and flew far away from this Sky Piercing Wind Pillar. He wanted to see the other Sky Piercing Wind Pillars in this world and see how they were doing.
However, when he was some distance away from this Sky Piercing Wind Pillar and the floating islands around it, he realized that the further he was from the Sky Piercing Wind Pillar, the more chaotic the time in the void became. It was gradually changing to the chaotic state of time in other worlds.
It was obvious that the stability was limited to this Sky Piercing Wind Pillar and its surroundings. The further he was from the Sky Piercing Wind Pillar, the weaker the effect of the light wave until there was no light wave.
It was no wonder that the races on these floating islands were only active in the thousand-kilometer radius of the Sky Piercing Wind Pillar. They didn't leave this area.
With a mortal's lifespan of a few decades, once they left this stable area, once the flow of time changed too much, they would die of old age in minutes.
Of course, this had no effect on Lin Xiao. He ignored it and plunged into the void, quickly disappearing without a trace.
There were also some floating continents within the Sky Piercing Storm Pillar, but without the influence of the unknown power of the Sky Piercing Storm Pillar, the flow of time here was as chaotic as in other worlds. The lifeforms living on these continents were replaced very quickly, and it would only take a very short time for them to mature.
Lin Xiao wandered in this void where he could neither see the sky nor the ground. From time to time, he would see floating islands floating in the void. Occasionally, he would see some flying creatures crossing the floating islands and wandering in the void.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he had traversed a distance of millions of kilometers. If this was any other mega-sized dimension, he would have reached the end of it. However, he still hadn't seen a second Storm Pillar here. If he hadn't vaguely seen other Storm Pillars in the sky, he would have thought that there was only one Storm Pillar in this world.
On this day, he saw a rather large floating island in the distance. Before he got close, he saw a few massive shadows approaching the island from the wind belt at the edge of the island.
At first, he thought that some massive monster was entering the island. However, when he got closer, he realized that there were four large airships that were over 100 meters long. There were cannons installed on them, and they fired cannons at the island from afar.
Very quickly, the island launched a counterattack. However, it was only a counterattack with crossbow bolts. Although the crossbow bolts were powerful, the airships were massive and made of metal. Many of the crossbow bolts missed and bounced off. Even if they hit their targets, they might not be able to penetrate the airships.
The airships quickly defeated the resistance at the edge of the island. They broke through the wind layer at the edge of the island and entered.
Lin Xiao followed them with interest. He saw that the four large airships had entered the edge of the island. There was a large empty space there. It was a city that looked like a port. However, it had been blasted open by the cannons. A large number of fully armed soldiers who looked like the Octopus people jumped down from the airships that were almost touching the houses and charged into the city. They fought with the creatures that looked like the Octopus people in the city.
At the same time, there was a strangely shaped castle in this floating island that was 20 to 30 square kilometers in size. There were many farmlands and farmhouses around it. The floating island was like an independent kingdom. At that moment, a group of about 300 Octopus people were heading towards the port to provide support.
The Octopus people at the port were obviously no match for the invaders. There was a huge difference in the weapons, equipment, and average strength of both sides. In particular, the invading Octopus people seemed to have sensed that the enemy's reinforcements were about to arrive. The largest airship pod in the center was lowered. A group of Octopus people, who were obviously the leaders, were lowered. The leader of the Octopus people wrapped one of his tentacles around the sword at his waist and raised it high. An invisible wave spread out like lightning.
The invading Octopus people in the city were affected by this and became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their combat strength instantly soared, and the defending army that they could not defeat instantly collapsed.
"Nightmare?"
Lin Xiao did not care about the outcome of the battle between the foreign races. He had stopped because he was curious. It had been a long time since he had seen such a low-level battle.
However, he did not expect to have an unexpected gain. When the leader of the Octopus people used his technique, he sensed the aura of a child from the Nightmare Realm.
Yes, the leader of the Octopus people was not a child of the Nightmare Realm, but the power it used came from a child of the Nightmare Realm.
When he sensed the aura of a child of the Nightmare Realm here, Lin Xiao was instantly interested.
The invaders quickly defeated the defending army at the port and formed a formation outside the city to fight against the Octopus people who were supporting them from behind. In this battle of up to 500 people, the leader of the invaders used his technique several times to change the situation. Lin Xiao seriously sensed it and confirmed that the power that appeared when the leader used his technique came from a child of the Nightmare Realm.
This meant that there was definitely a child of the Nightmare Realm behind the Octopus people who had bestowed him with power.
Then, Lin Xiao directly attacked. A white light descended from the sky and landed in the crowd. The leader of the Octopus people disappeared.
When their leader suddenly disappeared, the invaders were instantly thrown into disarray. Their morale plummeted, and they were defeated by a round of attacks from the defending army. They scattered and fled in all directions.
Lin Xiao did not care about these changes. At this moment, he had already appeared in the void more than 100 kilometers away from the floating island where the Octopus people lived. He sat cross-legged in the void while the Octopus people lay unconscious in front of him.
Although they were called Octopus people, they were not a race that had evolved from octopuses. They should be some kind of humanoid species, but their four limbs were not the arms of an ordinary person. Instead, they had four tentacles and many small tentacles behind their heads. They looked like octopuses.
There were no bones in these tentacles, only pure flesh. They were as flexible as the tentacles of an octopus.
Lin Xiao did not wait for the Octopus people to wake up and ask questions. He directly stretched out his finger and tapped the Octopus people's forehead. A few seconds later, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He muttered to himself, "Is there such a coincidence?"
He directly read the memories of the Octopus people's soul. He read all the memories of its life from its birth until now. He found the source of the power of the Nightmare Realm that it controlled.
The result was both unexpected and within his expectations.
The person who had bestowed this power to the Octopus people was indeed a child of the Nightmare Realm. However, the source of this power surprised him. Or rather, the origin of the Octopus people surprised him. Regardless of whether it was the invading Octopus people or the Octopus people they were attacking, they were all creatures from the Nightmare Realm that originated from a very powerful child of the Nightmare Realm.
To put it bluntly, these Octopus people were creatures derived from the Nightmare Realm's creatures. They were not natives of this world.
However, as they had been wandering in this world for a very long time and had reproduced for many generations, they were no different from natives.
Although the Octopus people leader was also part of the Octopus people race, he was different from the other members of his race. He had received the mark of another Nightmare Realm's child and obtained the ability to borrow the power of another Nightmare Realm's child. This was the skill that he had just used. These natives had a unique name in this world — Heroes!
"What a familiar name!"
Lin Xiao stood up and looked into the distance. From the memories of the Octopus people hero, he knew that the vast area in front of him was the territory of the Nightmare Realm. Countless Nightmare Realm Lords ruled this area with the Storm Sky Pillars as their center. They continuously fought with the lords of other empires over the Storm Sky Pillars.
With the status of the Octopus people hero, he was unable to know the main body of the other empires. His lord was only a very ordinary Nightmare Realm Lord and did not have the qualifications to participate in the war with the other empires. However, Lin Xiao could guess that the other empires had descended from other civilizations in the divine territory.
In other words, in this unimaginably large space, it was very likely that he would encounter other human children of the divine territory who had accidentally been lost in the Chaotic World.
Although the children of the divine territory rarely entered the dangerous Chaotic World, most of them were not strong enough to survive the dangerous worlds and find this world. However, there would always be various accidents and good luck. As time passed, there would always be some.
Wang Zhong killed the Octopus person with one finger. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the floating island that was over 100 kilometers away.
The space above the floating island suddenly distorted, and the massive floating island was deformed by an invisible force. With a bang, it broke into several large pieces and squeezed toward the center.
The Octopus people on the island did not even have time to react before they died in this destructive natural disaster. Along with the shattered floating island, they turned into meat paste and merged with the massive stone ball.
Just as he destroyed the floating island, a will in a Storm Sky Pillar in the distant Nightmare Realm suddenly awakened. A ray of black light flashed and flew out of the Storm Sky Pillar in a certain direction.
At that moment, the stone ball that the floating island had formed had completely distorted and quickly disappeared.
Lin Xiao gently exhaled. A ray of light flew out and turned into a jade tablet in front of him. A message appeared in his mind out of thin air.
"Fragments of the divine territory: Fragments of the divine territory of a fallen Nightmare Realm Lord. Gather ten fragments of the divine territory to form a complete seed of the divine territory!"
