Chapter 268 - Nothing (2/2)

He stepped into the vortex.

-----

In the Milky Way Realm, several hours after Yan Zaizen's departure.

A spatial slit emerged. From this spatial slit, a grey-robed, masked figure appeared. His silver irises gazed around, the light within containing incredible intelligence and sharpness. After a short while, he locked onto a location and stepped forward. Like a shadow exposed to the sun, he vanished. When he reappeared, he stood before the inter-heavenly spatial formation's location.

”What? He entered the Vast Expanse?!” The masked man exclaimed, his tone obviously suffused with disbelief and shock. His fists clenched to the point crunching sounds emitted. From his reaction, one could tell he lacked the ability to follow.

”You've returned.” A soft light sparkled near the masked man. From this soft light, a man garbed in white and seemed to be the picture of purity itself appeared. This was Eloah. As he arrived, his eyes trained on the masked man's figure, his eyes flickering with a profound light.

The masked man wasn't startled by this sudden arrival. Instead, he turned towards Eloah. From beneath the mask, a voice suffused with elation sounded, ”It's been a while, Eloah.”

Eloah only acknowledged with a slight nod, his gaze turned towards the spatial formation. ”You've been given a second chance. Don't make the same mistake.” Eloah's words may sound cryptic to outsiders, but the masked figure understood.

”It's my father's,” was all he said in response.

”Haaa…” With a sigh that seemed to contain untold worries, he pointed his finger towards the spatial formation. As if the formation understood his desires, a hole of pure blackness appeared in the void. This hole was about the size of the masked figure.

Witnessing this, the masked man gazed deeply at Eloah, his emotions complex. However, he didn't linger for long. With a step, he entered the hole.

”Sometimes...words are better than a sword,” these words traveled through the hole and into the masked man's ears. However, he didn't stop. Instead, he sped up and exploded with a mind-blowing swiftness.

Eloah didn't say another word, only sighing before vanishing.

Exiting the spatial vortex, Yan Zaizen's eyes widened in shock. His mouth was an 'O' and his scale felt numb. It was as if his soul had been shaken at its core. The spatial vortex behind him collapsed, his control over it slipped as it could no longer be supported without his active assistance.

In his vision was nothing.

There was truly nothing.

No air, no essence, no moisture, no sound waves, no heat, no light, no heavenly laws, nor a single speck of life aura. For as far as his senses could go, there was utterly and terrifyingly nothing.

”What is this place?!?!” Pinaka's voice was many decibels higher as she felt horror in the depths of her soul. For someone who had Yan Zaizen's False Grand Dao, this was the first time she had ever reacted so shocked. This sensation into the depths of his mind, his soul, and every cell of his body.

He looked all around, unable to find up, down, left or right. If it wasn't for his pulse, he couldn't accept his status of being alive. This place seemed to be stifling all things in existence, allowing nothing to exist within its confines.

Losing track of time, his mind stilled.

Only a feeling of hopelessly drifting remained.
