Li Cheng颐, trailing behind, was speechless.



The imposing, high-class image of the Silver City walls had taken a nosedive for him at that moment.



"Selling niuzi! Blood-replenishing niuzi, magic-replenishing niuzi, true essence immortal power magic power yuanqi replenishing niuzi, and so on! Compatible with all kinds of cultivation methods on the market. All kinds of niuzi available! Come and take a look, they are all great supplements!”



"Newly arrived battlefield mystery boxes! One star coin, no bargaining! First come, first served, get them before they're gone!"



“Rare materials on sale at a steal!! Closing up shop at nine o'clock tonight! Get them while you can! Come take a look!!"



"Second-hand, damaged spaceships, two for one star coin! Honest prices for all!”



One after another, Tian Ju Ge disciples set up stalls along the base of the passage walls.



The crowds of people floating in the central passage, awaiting inspection, naturally dispersed to browse the stalls on either side.



“Want to take a look? It’s all battlefield junk, but sometimes you can find something good in the trash. It all depends on your eye." Qing Ming smiled.



"Forget it, let's hurry up and find Senior Brother Lan Meng." Li Cheng颐 shook his head with a strange expression.



"It's fine if you don't want to. The main battlefield here is against the Nihility Sect, there aren't many good things."



The two of them stopped talking and sped up, flying forward.



Inspection beams swept over them, but their status as Tian Xuan disciples allowed them to maintain their speed, quickly passing through the long passage that stretched for thousands of kilometers.



On the other side of the city wall was the equally empty and dark Black Sea void.



However, while the other side at least had some floating dead angles visible, here there wasn't a single one.



The streams of light that flew out of the city wall exit, transformed into winding beams, shooting rapidly towards the distant darkness.



Like beams of colored light shining into the darkness.



The two of them had just exited.



When they heard a shrill cry from the right.



"Here! Here!"



A tall black minotaur wearing heavy black armor and wielding a giant battle-axe was waving at them with one hand.



Completely out of sync with his magnificent and imposing appearance was the soft, cute, childlike voice.



The minotaur, over five meters tall, continued to call out.



"This way, come this way."



Qing Ming's mouth twitched, but he still took Li Cheng頤 with him and approached.



The two bowed to each other with clasped fists.



"I am Hei Niu, sent by Master Lan Meng to meet Senior Brother Bai Lu. Just follow me." The minotaur explained in a delicate voice.



"I won't go, I have other matters, I'll head back first." Qing Ming quickly added, patting Li Cheng頤 on the shoulder. "Junior brother, be careful."



"Thank you, senior brother, for your protection along the way!" Li Cheng颐 replied quickly.



"Don't mention it, remember, if you encounter a Quan Zhi (All-Knowing), run immediately. For the rest, try your hand first, don't be impulsive, and don't go too deep in one go." Qing Ming instructed.



"Understood."



Li Cheng颐 nodded seriously.



Only then did Qing Ming turn around with satisfaction, transforming into a beam of black light and disappearing.



Leaving the minotaur and Li Cheng颐, the two watched him disappear completely before turning and flying towards the depths of the Black Sea.



"From here on out, you need to be careful. The Nihility Sect has extremely strong concealment and often infiltrates this side to launch attacks. All their attacks carry Nihility poison, which corrodes everything and transforms it into complete nothingness. If your regeneration ability isn't strong enough, senior brother, I don't recommend close combat with them.” Hei Niu explained along the way.



"Is it no good even if the body's strength is high enough?" Li Cheng颐 frowned.



“At least a Saint level is required. If you can't regenerate from a drop of blood, it's best not to engage in close combat on the battlefield, stay in the rear for ranged attacks or release clones." Hei Niu replied.



The two hadn't flown far when a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in the void ahead.



The black mist seemed to flash and teleport, one second it wasn't there, the next it appeared directly.



The mist quickly dispersed, revealing a large group of ragged, red-eyed monsters composed entirely of black mist.



The monsters, wielding all sorts of old weapons, rushed towards Hei Niu and Li Cheng頤 upon seeing them.



Chichi chichi!!



The scattered patches of black gas transformed into ropes, enveloping the two of them in a fan shape from the front.



Attempting to bind them.



"It's a Mist Spirit Monster! Be careful not to be touched by them!" Hei Niu swung his giant battle-axe, cleaving forward, and a large gust of black wind blew out.



The black wind transformed into countless black spikes, densely covering a large area around them, engulfing all the red-eyed monsters.



After a series of dense piercing sounds, everything quickly quieted down.



The Mist Spirit Monsters had completely disappeared.



"These Mist Spirit Monsters are just the lowest-level explorers of the Nihility Sect, easily dealt with by anyone above the third seal. The only thing to be careful of is their poison. Anyone below the Saint realm who is contaminated has to return to Silver City for treatment," Hei Niu explained.



"Thank you." Li Cheng颐 nodded.



Watching the other party put away his giant axe and continue forward, he followed.



Along the way, they quickly encountered two more groups of Mist Spirit Monsters, all of which were dealt with by Hei Niu.



As they continued forward, a complex cacophony gradually began to emerge in the surrounding void.



The cacophony seemed to be a mixture of countless noises, roars, hisses, frenzied screams, the clash of weapons, explosions, the cutting of sharp blades into flesh and wood, and so on, all kinds of sounds mixed together.



"We're approaching the battlefield. Be careful." Hei Niu reminded.



Li Cheng颐 didn't need the reminder, he could already see the scene unfolding ahead.



An ocean of rainbow-colored light points was fiercely clashing against an equally large ocean of black.



Black was not supposed to be so conspicuous in the Black Sea, but here, those boundless, countless black monsters were particularly clear and distinct.



Their forms were bizarre, but the main body consisted of a mass of black gas with red eyes in the center, controlling everything.



There were Mist Spirit Monsters like the ones they had encountered before, giant skeleton with bone-white bodies wielding huge cleaver, and dark shadow dragons spewing dragon breath. But more were irregular large balls with no specific shape, covered in densely packed black hands and feet.



Li Cheng頤 couldn't even tell how many there were at a glance.



The monsters in the black ocean opposite each other crowded together, rushing forward madly, using their bodies to block the massive incoming attacks.



Everyone on the Tian Ju Ge side was covered in a layer of faint colored light to distinguish them.



This layer of colored light seemed to also temporarily immunize everyone against the Nihility poison, allowing them to charge forward for close combat.



In the middle and rear of both sides, huge battleships or fortresses floated quietly, releasing circles of black mist and colored light.



"Let's go this way, the master is here." Hei Niu turned right and sped off.



Li Cheng頤 withdrew his gaze and quickly followed.



He had just used his consciousness to sense the area and discovered that everyone participating in the battle ahead was indeed a powerful individual above the third seal.



Some of the stronger ones even had ten seals.



Around those floating fortresses, there were even groups of Shen Huo (Divine Fire) experts, assembling and releasing waves of ranged rainbow magic.



The Saints were further back, wearing dark gold war armor that could amplify their bodies and consciousness, and holding spiked giant shields that could cover their entire bodies. They seemed to be used as heavy assault units.



"Although this is our Tian Ju Ge's main line of defense, the Lian Cheng Association and many smaller forces have also joined in to fight against the Mother of Nihility."



Hei Niu led the way, flashing several times along the way.



Finally, they arrived in front of a huge fortress that resembled a silver dojo.



The dojo fortress constantly released rainbow-colored halos, clearly acting as a war force field generator.



A team of cat-headed Daoists wearing Tian Ju Ge robes stepped forward to check their identities.



After verifying their tokens, the two accelerated and flew into the dojo from the rear.



After passing through a series of heavily guarded black passages, the two finally entered the core hall of the dojo after traversing thousands of kilometers.



A huge yin-yang taiji was underfoot, constantly rotating in black and white.



Above was an endless rainbow of light, so blinding that it was impossible to look directly at it, and one couldn't see what was there.



Around the walls of the hall were rows of magnificent giant silver pill furnaces, embedded within.



Within each pill furnace, one could see a ball of rainbow-colored flame burning.



There were a total of eight pill furnaces around the central taiji, rotating in opposite directions.



Apart from these, there were also a large number of strong, black-skinned pig-headed men without clothing, constantly transporting carts of unknown substances along the embedded ramps on the walls, and pouring them into the pill furnaces to be burned.



"Hei Niu greets the master!" At this time, Hei Niu stopped in the middle of the taiji diagram and respectfully clasped his fists towards the sky above.



Li Cheng頤 narrowed his eyes and looked up as well.



The blinding colored light slightly converged in his eyes, filtering layer after layer, until the light was weakened to an acceptable level, he could finally see what was floating overhead.



It was a huge fat man made of countless rainbow-colored bubbles.



The fat man sat cross-legged on an equally wide high-backed chair, floating in the air, his Buddha-like, kind face smiling as he watched Hei Niu and Li Cheng颐 below.



His size, including the chair, occupied the entire dojo ceiling, and the diameter of the dojo hall's floor was at least three hundred meters or more.



Furthermore, similar to the Four Elders of Cai Tian, the fat man also had eight slender white jade spider legs behind him, piercing into the surrounding void, constantly digging out clusters of colored matter and stuffing them into his navel.



There was also a black mouth full of sawteeth at his navel, constantly chewing the various substances being stuffed in.



"Ah, the taste of home..." the fat man took a deep breath.



Tear.



Suddenly.



Countless flesh buns bulged out from the smooth top of his huge, round head.



The flesh buns all grew identical fat faces, making intoxicated sounds.



"It really is the aura of home..."



"I smell it."



"I smell it too..."



"How long has it been since we went back?"



"I can't remember... it's been too long... if we were to return now, the entire world would be unable to withstand it..."



"It's a pity we can no longer split our spirits..."



Li Cheng頤, watching this scene below, felt goosebumps all over his body.



Behind him, a deer-bodied, snake-tailed nine-headed squirrel phantom rapidly emerged. This was so disgusting that he almost revealed his true form.



"Ever since the master stepped into the Quan Zhi (All-Knowing) realm and converged all his past, present, and future bodies, something went wrong, so..." Hei Niu carefully explained from the side. "But don't worry, those are all the master. It's just that each one is a different version of him from a different time."
