Wang Xuan disappeared into the Altar Space, Long Ling spiraled wearily, awaiting his return.
It only hoped that Wang Xuan’s gains would be substantial; if he could indeed touch upon some core mysteries, his future would be boundless, achieving immortality with ease.
Even if he just obtained some peripheral treasures, it would be enough for him to become a formidable figure of his time, leaving his name in the starry sky.
After all, the items that could remain in that place were extremely precious and powerful, otherwise they would have long been destroyed and dissolved.
“I hope you can live a bit longer, don’t die just after I’ve had a few naps.”
It was bound here, as the source of energy for the Altar, the time it spent was too long, yet in such a long span, the beings with whom it could speak numbered merely a thousand or so.
Wang Xuan was just one of them, and it did not hold much hope, just a random seed sown.
Mental daze ensued, as Wang Xuan’s consciousness returned, his body felt extremely out of place, unable to sense up from down, without any sense of direction or gravity.
In front of him was a gray, murky space, saturated with dark, decaying energy that bore the nature of destruction and downfall, stretching endlessly.
The dark energy incessantly eroded Wang Xuan’s Gang Qi Shield, depleting a great amount of his True Qi, if he maintained it long, he wouldn’t last ten minutes before exhausting his True Qi, only relying on the accelerator’s assistance for recovery.
Having come to this space, where he once trudged with difficulty, Wang Xuan still remembered how dangerous it was then, even with some defensive items remaining from the Altar Space, they were obliterated cleanly upon arrival here, forcing his departure.
Looking up, the mist behind him grew ever darker, pitch-black as though a gaping maw that could devour everything, burying all, unsettling one’s heart profoundly.
Gazing ahead, Wang Xuan could only see a few blurred specks of light; he knew it was the great distance at fault, coupled with the overwhelming dark energy, obscuring his vision.
As for his whereabouts, whether at the edge of the battlefield or elsewhere, Wang Xuan had no clue. Regarding the battlefield, he had learned from the altar’s inscriptions.
With the starry sky as the battlefield, looking around, unable to see stars, one knew those stars had long been destroyed, disappearing without a trace amidst the aftermath of battle.
Stepping on the solid ground, Wang Xuan proceeded along the path, from the Altar to here, emerging on a pale golden floor; unfortunately, virtually no light reached here, any that did were from distant places, weakened to near non-existence.
He took out the illumination device, examining the patterns on the ground, intricate like Array Patterns, yet a thousand times more complex than any he had seen before.
“This isn’t the place I appeared last time; I remember last time I landed on a giant sphere tens of kilometers around, not such flat ground.”
On his previous visit, he acted in haste, his strength quite feeble, so his gain was merely an accelerator, a treasure that baffled him regarding its acquisition.
“As Long Ling said, the place of appearance was somewhat random, even it couldn’t control it.”
Striding on the flat ground, he kept the images he saw in his mind, piecing them together continuously; the larger the area he scanned, the more surprised he became.
After investigating the edges of the land beneath his feet, he was quite amazed, for even at the narrowest, it spanned several hundred kilometers, and as for the length, he hadn’t reached the end in a long time.
Fortunately, his speed was fast enough, combined with no air resistance here, allowing easy surpassing of the speed of sound, enabling a rapid traverse of thousands of miles of space.
“Too slow.” After exploring for over ten minutes, Wang Xuan swiftly restored his depleted True Qi using the accelerator, though he dared not use the Space Gate for fear of landing in peril.
Circling for an hour, he finally surveyed the entire ground, piecing together everything his vision captured into an entire figure in his mind.
At this moment, a humanoid form materialized in his mind.
This humanoid creature was of a massive build, wearing ancient battle armor, wielding a long sword in hand, as imposing as a Divine General.
Though unbelievable, the result he obtained was such, a giant with one head and two hands, yet its lower body vanished without a trace, and its head bore a penetrating hole.
Amidst the starry void, a colossal corpse nearly ten thousand miles long, sprawled across here. This stunning, questionable image completely reshaped Wang Xuan’s worldview.
Does such a massive being exist in the world? A being so powerful? One individual could rival a planet; if it engaged in battle, how terrifying that would be!
Though unbelievable, true is true, Wang Xuan pondered continually, in this war, how powerful were the participants really?
Each one, surely greater than a True Immortal by tenfold, hundredfold!
“Alas, such a powerful being has perished too.” Wang Xuan lamented, witnessing with his own eyes such awe-inspiring beings, yet are just remains after countless billion years.
If alive, who knows what magnificent demeanor it might have.
After this shock, his heart gradually calmed, pondering on how to find treasures.
“On such a powerful being, there must be good things, I just hope there’s still something preserved for me to find.”
Upon searching the giant corpse, Wang Xuan found nothing, except for a gigantic, uncollectable sword riddled with cracks and decay, and some adornments on the giant, he saw nothing more.
Looking at the cavity in the giant’s abdomen, Wang Xuan looked upward thoughtfully, indeed, a massive collection of asteroids and dust floated above.
He leaped upward, moving at dozens of times the speed of sound, accelerating continuously through the asteroids.
The higher he ascended, the denser the asteroids, until a gigantic continent appeared before him, the continent already shattered, fragmented and incomplete.
“Could this continent have leapt out from the giant’s body? But it’s even bigger than the giant’s corpse.” Wang Xuan mused in confusion.
He landed on the continent, never encountering danger, so boldly used the Space Gate to journey through the continent, covering hundreds of miles instantly.
Although True Qi consumption was high, it could be supplemented by converting Source Power, not an issue.
One decayed, crumbling city after another appeared before Wang Xuan, yet aside from their remains, nothing was left. Perhaps in such a grand battle, the energy aftershocks had already obliterated them.
Until he found this continent’s core area, a vast city spanning thousands of miles, perhaps once the giant’s long-abided residence.
The city walls were measured in kilometers and still retained some remnants, adorned with numerous sculptures, likely carved by beings venerating that giant.
“This continent’s humanoid creatures must have numbered at least ten billion, yet in an instant, they turned to dust, died all at once.”
Upon reaching the great city, Wang Xuan felt a strange sensation within, or rather, the accelerator had a sort of sensing; from too far a distance, it was uncertain if there were treasures.
Step by step, he approached the residence of the Divine Being, at the city’s center, Wang Xuan unexpectedly spotted a relatively well-preserved structure and immediately went inside.
The Divine Being’s dwelling, surely treasure-filled, but the endless years of dark energy erosion left only remnants and waste; retaining original shape was due to unique materials, the essence, the spirituality, all long gone.
Having found nothing, Wang Xuan searched everywhere until he reached a bedroom and saw the bed of the Divine Being.
His gaze fell directly on a stone resembling a pillow.
