Chapter 1 The Independent Land

This independent land, adrift in the void of the "Old World," is usually covered in snow all year round, with very little activity or sound.

But today, the violent collision sounds almost tore the sky.

The airship ascended straight up, but the closer it got to the top of the void, the slower its ascent became...

Because there were simply too many low-level creatures of the Traveler race.

Sweat had already seeped out of Bai Xiu's forehead. He sat cross-legged, his spine very straight. The Thunderclap Domain had transformed the entire right wing of the source energy craft into a thunderous swamp. Anyone who entered the swamp would instantly be shattered by electric arcs and burned to ashes. The Thunder Realm Walker was also on a killing spree in the domain.

But it was no use.

These bone-winged creatures were simply inexhaustible!

Those wise leaders who controlled the low-level creatures of the race were clearly using these "lives" to exchange for their extraordinary source matter!

On the other side.

Gu Shen's situation was much better, because he had an entire complete Pure Land within him.

He possessed a massive amount of source matter.

The Travelers had mobilized the power of their entire race to hunt him down... but Gu Shen's heart lake contained an entire complete Pure Land world. The extraordinary source matter from the eight giant flowerbeds was being mobilized by Gu Shen at this moment. Li Qingci and Tie Wu knew the meaning of this situation, so they moved out the accumulated source matter under the Susu tree.

"Is your source matter... not enough?"

Gu Shen turned to look at Bai Xiu.

Little Xiu's expression was a little pale.

In less than ten minutes, his Thunderclap Domain had already slaughtered tens of thousands of bone-winged creatures. This number was still increasing, and now his source matter was flowing away at an alarming rate.

"It's still enough for now."

Bai Xiu bit his lip.

He could continue to kill... but this was the "Old World". What would happen if his source matter ran out?

When he was unable to maintain the domain, the situation would completely fall into passivity!

"Withdraw the domain... my 'Blazing Fire' will cover the entire source energy craft."

Gu Shen placed a hand on Bai Xiu's shoulder. He said in a deep voice, with a commanding tone.

Bai Xiu was stunned for a second.

"And don't refuse my source matter."

Gu Shen looked directly into Bai Xiu's eyes. He said calmly, "I know you can absorb external source matter... We're at this point, there's no need to hide this secret between us, right?"

"..."

Little Xiu fell silent.

Then his eyes turned to surprise, shock.

Because at the point where Gu Shen's palm met his shoulder, a large amount of source matter poured out. Gu Shen generously gave away a portion of the Pure Land source matter, sending it into Bai Xiu's body, and the latter did not refuse.

Little Xiu silently accepted this source matter. He said in astonishment, "What about you? What will you do?"

"Me?"

Gu Shen grinned.

"My source matter... is inexhaustible."

The moment the Thunderclap Domain was withdrawn, Blazing Fire and Pure Land spread out, replacing it.

After the two Great Accomplishment Domains were deployed, Fire Spirit sat cross-legged at the front of the source energy craft, flames and ice intertwined, elements colliding, surging.

Fire Spirit raised her head and looked at the top of the sky.

Only a little distance remained to the dark curtain of the void.

The gate arranged by the Travelers was still being opened continuously...

Gu Shen took a deep breath. He felt immense pressure.

Countless low-level creatures gathered together, jointly impacting his domain. It was a killing intent from an entire race. Several wise leaders had gathered outside the void. They crossed their arms and coldly watched him, with no intention of taking action. In Gu Shen's perception, some of these wise leaders were even "titled" experts.

In the hundreds of years that the Traveler race had roamed the "Old World," they had established their own unique system.

They jointly supported a God Seat...

But beneath the God Seat, there were also Origin experts, with titles.

Compared to the brilliant and prosperous Five Continents humans, the Traveler race's civilization seemed very desolate and extreme. They obeyed the most basic "survival of the fittest" law of the "Old World," but this law allowed them to possess extremely strong cohesion.

"I've rested... If you're tired, you can withdraw the domain, and I'll take over."

Bai Xiu gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

With Gu Shen's help, his biggest "shortcoming" had been compensated for. In just a few dozen seconds, Bai Xiu had returned to his previous state.

He said solemnly, wanting to share some of the pressure for Gu Shen.

"The real trouble isn't these."

Gu Shen raised his head and nodded his chin.

He signaled Bai Xiu to pay attention to those wise creatures standing outside the void.

"The Traveler race... has many strong people."

Bai Xiu's expression was solemn, frowning. "They... are watching? If they attack now, they are likely to shoot down the source energy craft."

"Yes, this is precisely the terrifying part of the Traveler race."

Gu Shen murmured, "They won't attack. They will only watch us fight with these low-level creatures."

The wise creature that took the lead in pushing open the gate was an extraordinary life with titled strength.

At that glance.

It sensed the strength of the two people inside the source energy craft.

So... there was the subsequent sea of blood tactics!

"The lives of these low-level creatures can't be considered lives... In their eyes, these are just tools. They won't take risks that threaten their own lives because of the damage to mere tools." Gu Shen said in a low voice, "The division of classes and corresponding division of labor within the Traveler race are very clear. The lives of these wise leaders are much more important than those of the bone-winged creatures."

The lives of bone-winged creatures were meant to be given away.

"If they want to attack... then it must be when we are 'exhausted' and show signs of decline."

Gu Shen said, "So I hope that you will just maintain this state of 'source matter depletion', don't use the Thunderclap Domain again, and don't reveal the information that I can replenish source matter for you."

Bai Xiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Gu Shen's meaning.

"Okay!"

He circulated his breathing technique, recalibrating his mental state.

That originally full mental state instantly shriveled back. Little Xiu's acting skills were very good. Even Gu Shen, who was close at hand, did not notice anything unusual.

"Very good."

Gu Shen said in a low voice, "Next... we will rush out of this area. No matter what happens, don't take action."

Bai Xiu frowned slightly. He didn't understand Gu Shen's meaning yet.

The next moment.

Gu Shen withdrew the protection of the two Great Accomplishment Domains.

"???"

Bai Xiu never expected that Gu Shen would make such an operation—

The domain was withdrawn!

The source energy craft was exposed to the gap that countless bone-winged creatures were attacking. After losing the protection of the domain, the source energy craft suddenly became a piece of exposed fat!

The intelligent driving system automatically propped up the protective shield outside the source energy craft. The North Continent Research Institute's defense technology was very complete. This protective shield could withstand a large amount of bombardment... but compared with the Great Accomplishment Domain of a titled transcendent, it was still far behind.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the dense sound of impact, the protective shield shattered.

Countless bone-winged creatures surrounded the source energy craft, and the dense, piercing sounds gathered together, making one's scalp tingle.

Bai Xiu couldn't understand the purpose of Gu Shen's operation.

He looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen's expression was extremely calm.

So far, the source energy craft was still under the shroud of the Calamity Barrier. Although the battle in this void sky was fierce... the real fierce battle on this land was a hundred miles away.

That was a battle between two Origin experts.

Those wise leaders who had descended here had no intention of letting their clansmen participate in the "encirclement and suppression" of Silver Fox... because they knew very well that once the battle between transcendents involved "Origin", it would be difficult to make up for the gap with numbers.

Origin power was a dimensionality reduction strike for ordinary transcendent beings.

And just as these bone-winged creatures gathered together—

A wisp of pitch-black color surged in the void...

Silver Fox, who was a hundred miles away and fighting fiercely with the black giant, felt the abnormality at the far end.

Silver Fox cast a gaze towards the top of the sky, accurately locking onto the location of the source energy craft.

He only made a very simple action.

Stretching out his pitch-black right hand.

Closing his five fingers, making a fist.

"Crack!"

Origin power exploded a hundred miles away, in the center of the vortex where a large number of bone-winged creatures gathered...

The piercing sound was instantly erased!

These bone-winged creatures seemed to have never existed.

The battle between Origins was extremely dangerous. There was a limit to what Silver Fox could do. He did not have the energy to kill those low-level bone-winged creatures one by one, but if the other party gathered and huddled together, he did not mind taking action and crushing them to pieces.

After this attack, the wise leaders of the Traveler race would have some understanding of his Origin.

Similar things would not happen again.

……

……

"Rumble!"

A violent engine roar resounded at the top of the sky.

The source energy craft, whose protective shield was shattered, rushed out of the spherical black domain that shrouded the top of this continent, which meant that Gu Shen and Bai Xiu had finally escaped the shackles of that "Calamity Barrier."

But it was not over yet.

Because outside the void, there were still wise leaders of the Traveler race waiting for them.

The gate did not close, and a large number of bone-winged creatures continued to pour out... Silver Fox's pinch just now was a temporary clearing of the battlefield, but this battle had just begun!

"Wait a little longer!"

Gu Shen immediately stopped Bai Xiu from taking action.

The source energy craft was advancing in the void. After the protective shield was broken, this airship had completely become a piece of fat to be slaughtered...

Losing the last protective device.

And after a baptism of the sea of blood tactics.

If the wise leaders of the Traveler race determined that the transcendents in the airship were unable to resist, they would personally take action next!

After a brief silence.

The wise leaders suspended in the void made an assessment of the battle just now. They no longer continued to wait, but slowly spread their wings and took the initiative to approach this airship.

"Now... take action!"

Gu Shen's voice was cold to the extreme, "Don't show any mercy! Only by killing these leaders can we have a chance to live!"
