Light at the end of the Tunnel

As Xue Ying ventured deeper along the stone road, he encountered many split paths. Everything seemed calm and quiet. Suddenly, as he stepped on a piece of stone tile, it sunk downwards, causing an overflowing force to erupt on his body, pulling Xue Ying in. The stone tile soon regained normalcy as if nothing had happened.

Deep underneath, in a dark cave, Xue Ying immediately pulled himself up after falling down. He looked around him carefully.

‘Even as that higher dimensional expert ‘Yuan’ left behind some opportunities to the weak, he had left behind many traps as well.’ Xue Ying muttered to himself. Comparatively, Luo City Lord was more generous. He directly bestowed a World Flower Seed to him. Naturally, this was because they knew each other and secondly, his hometown was rapidly moving towards an apocalypse. That was why Luo City Lord chose to aid him.

‘If I chose to take Ancestor Fan as my teacher, I might have an easier time now.’ Xue Ying mocked at himself.

But he did not regret it.

Xue Ying could not foretell when he first reincarnated into the Realm Heart Great Land that he would create the ‘Nine Rotation Undying Technique’! Otherwise, he would have become a core member of the Fan Clan confidently before accumulating sufficient points to exchange for an avatar technique.

It’s a pity that despite his current realm, it was impossible for him to prophesize what his future would be like.

Hence, Xue Ying chose the safer path and took Southern Cloud King as his teacher! At least he got the avatar technique in his hands early on.

‘The Realm Heart God Palace is treacherous! Getting a treasure isn’t easy even if I comprehended some laws of the place.’ Xue Ying understood this point. The difficulty of acquiring any treasure in the Realm Heart God Palace was extremely high. It was impossible for ‘Yuan’ to give an easy time for these juniors, ‘Even if I moved alone, it is hard to say who would get a bigger harvest in the end.’

“Hua.”

Holding on to the Scarlet Cloud God Spear, Xue Ying carefully advanced forward in the dark underground cave.

According to the intelligence given by his teacher, one must not casually fly in the Realm Heart God Palace! Every movement made must be done under careful consideration! If there’s a path to take, walk along the path. If there were stairs, then walk along the stairs! This would make the journey a little safer. But for existences like Emperor Summer, Emperor Cang, and Great Paragon Fuyi, they were confident of dealing against any danger, which was also why they dared to fly.

Other than the most apex experts, even Great Paragons had to be well-behaved and walk.

‘This place.’ Xue Ying tried extending his senses, only to feel a majestic boundless power pervading the entire world. The region that he could perceive was forced to a small radius. Any further extension of the region would be blocked by an unseen power.

Xue Ying advanced forward.

“Chi chi chi~”

After traveling for an hour, he was still stuck in the dark underground passage, albeit a sound could be heard coming from the front.

“Mn?” Xue Ying’s heart became taut as he became alert.

A black shiny-carapaced insect tunneled out from the wall to the side. Its pair of little eyes stared at Xue Ying. Both of them were several hundred kilometers apart, and this was considered close to Cosmos Gods! Nevertheless, when it tunneled out of the passage walls, Xue Ying’s domain did not reflect any movement.

“Shua.”

It instantly disappeared. At the same time, it appeared before Xue Ying, sending its pair of sharp claws against Xue Ying’s chest. Nevertheless, this figure gradually dissipated.

‘So fast!’ Xue Ying with his spear appeared at another location. Even though the suppression of the Realm Heart God Palace was great, preventing him from teleporting–Xue Ying’s Scarlet Cloud Domain was kept to a 50 kilometers radius after relying on the God Spear–it was sufficient for him to evade against the sudden attack by this monstrous carapaced insect.

‘The speed of this carapaced insect is beyond mine! It seems to have reached the offense power a second-level Cosmos God could exert.’ Xue Ying immediately made his observations.

The black-carapaced insect suddenly lifted its carapaced-wings.

“Chi chi chi~” Violet lightning began swimming away from it.

“Shua shua!”

The speed of the black-carapaced insect soared once again as it madly attacked Xue Ying.

“Peng.”

Even if Xue Ying could dodge the attacks by relying on the Scarlet Cloud Domain, given that the other party’s frightening speed had rose once again, this space of 50 kilometers was no longer useful. Just three moves later, the claws of the black-carapaced insect clashed against Xue Ying’s spear. The black-carapaced insect was forced backwards. Its pair of little eyes glared at Xue Ying.

“Hou~” It let out a vigorous roar.

“Chi chi chi~” Very soon, many other similar high-pitched sounds could be heard from the surroundings.

Xue Ying’s expression changed.

At that moment, many black-carapaced insect started tunneling out from all over the cavern walls–a dense number of several hundred black-carapaced insects came out from different locations on the cavern walls.

‘I’ve just entered the Realm Heart God Palace not too long ago.’ Xue Ying was no longer in a mood of enjoyment. Previously, he considered studying the strength of the black-carapaced insect, but now… what he thought of was not to get forced out from the Realm Heart God Palace by these black-carapaced insects.

According to the intelligence, if Xue Ying could not withstand through the dangers of Realm Heart God Palace, he would be teleported out. That would mark the end of his journey in the Realm Heart God Palace.

Xue Ying wasn’t willing to fail so simply!

“Weng!”

His full strength was released. Relying on the Devil Emperor Gown, Xue Ying let out a full-powered Mirage and Illusory Realm. This grand illusory realm pervaded out in all directions. At that instance, these black-carapaced insects started swaying as if they were inebriated. Following that, they began falling one after another and could no longer resist! Furthermore, they soon tunneled back down deep into the underground cave silently and disappeared from before him.

‘Fortunately, my Mirage and Illusory Realm could restrain them.’ Xue Ying thought.

The Mirage and Illusory Realm was one of his prime killing techniques.

After all, even Great Paragons had to rely on top-graded secret treasures before they could become that strong. Ordinarily, there was no difference in their soul strength with second-level Cosmos Gods. Facing Xue Ying’s Mirage and Illusory Realm, most had to distribute part of their heart force in dealing against the illusory realm, reducing their strength.

…

As time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it had been 20,000 years or so later.

“I, I am finally out!”

Xue Ying finally saw the light. With his vision, he could easily see the end of the tunnel and the vast canyon outside.

Even though he was excited, Xue Ying still completed the final segment of this cave.
