Chapter 179
Storm
It was pitch-black dark everywhere he looked, like he was floating in some kind of void space, a universe without starsThis was a stark contrast to his last atte the Zhuji phase, where people like He Shao, Liu Chuan, Xie Fei, and Zhao Yujian had appeared inside his Spirit space for no other reason than to taunt hi in his Spirit space except for this e to do with the location, or the fact that he had better control over his Qi's concentration this time around
Still, he wished he had soht track
He waited in the darkness
After a while, he tried to i around inside his Spirit spaceAfter a few tries, however, he began to realize how pointless it wasFor one, he couldn't tell if he had actuallyhere except for dark, empty spaceFor all he knew, the notion of space and ht not even make sense here
But as he supposed to do now? Just wait and do nothing? Again, that felt way too easy
No
There had to be so for him to accomplish hereWell, he was supposed to sustain Ishvara while his Vital Orb was for of omnipotence, of supreme power? Where were the temptations or the illusions? None of this made sense
Was he even in Ishvara?
He spent aexactly what happened when his personal God showed upHis personal God looked the same it did the last tiical objectsAfter it showed up, the six-ar him with a sense of omnipotenceHowever, the moment his Spirit overpowered his personal God's will, he found himself trapped inside this dark world
In the end, Li Yundong decided to go with an age-old advice: if it ain't broke, don't fix it
He decided to wait it out and see ould happenSo he didHe waited and waited until he felt soainWhen he first arrived inside this dark world, if was like the concept of sensory perception didn't even exist, like he couldn't receive any sensory input other than this persistent darkness before himBut now he could actually feel a sensation, one that he was absolutely certain originated froer and stronger until it became some kind of e that he couldn't even identify let alone fathom
Was this how a baby feel like inside itssound, which turned into a roar in ahadn't a single clue what it wasAll he could do was hang on for dear life until everything blew over—he hoped
Which, of course, was a fool's hope
It didn't blow over, but blow up instead, right in his face
A bright flash filled the dark void inside his Spirit spaceHis sensory perceptions returned to hi into him like an avalancheWhen he opened his eyes, he found hih what appeared to be the sky
All of a sudden, his body stoppedsoundedThis tile doubt in his lanced around hie stor him like so maelstrom of dark storm clouds
He tried to free hiht flashes lit up the surface of the cloudsThe next thing he knew, he was screah hi electrocuted
