The seperate space inside the carriage shook violently and, following that, began to fragment and fall apart!
Huge pieces of rubble cracked and shifted in the seperate space, much like how tectonic plates moved during an earthquake. Nobody present was a fool; this place was not on earth, and it was the seperate space that was collapsing!
For such a huge change to happen, the carriage had to be in trouble!
The collapse had happened too suddenly, and most people were not together when it happened. At this time, countless fragments of the seperate space were shooting across the area in all directions!
Some were going forward, some backwards, and some sideways!
“I guess this is goodbye…”
Although Bei Feng had a light smile on his face, his heart was filled with grief and bitterness. The shard he was on was flying towards the left side!
As for Bai Xiang and the rest, they were flying straight forward, towards the front. In other words, they were going separate directions from him! Numerous streams of dark-colored light surged from under his feet. The bit of ground he was standing on was only 10 zhang wide, and the dark-colored light constantly struggled against the spatial energy that sought to collapse it. But the rate at which it was exhausted was too quick. In at most six hours, the seperate space’s energy would be completely overcome.
It wasn’t that Bei Feng did not want to jump off his shard. It was just that there were already 10-plus Demonic Beasts and three cultivators who’d used their lives to show him the consequences of doing so.
Looking at it in another way, things like spatial wormholes were high-level stuff that people of Bei Feng’s level could not come into contact with. Transference arrays were more on their level.
Bei Feng sat down cross-legged with a sigh as he looked at a piece of shard over a dozen kilometers long drifting away from him. Slowly, he was left all alone among a sea of broken shards with just him and the little fox in his arms.
Bei Feng rubbed the little fox gently on the head and said with a light sigh, “Little fellow, it seems like I won’t be able to fulfill the promise I made to you. I can’t even save myself this time.”
There weren’t any sounds around him, and the number of shards floating around him had grown less and less as they gradually gathered towards Bei Feng’s location.
The little fox’s ears twitched lightly as it finally opened its eyes lethargically.
“I guess my life hadn’t been lived in vain. Only, there are still some things that I’m not reconciled to…”
Bei Feng seemed to be talking to the little fox, and to himself at the same time.
“Meep, meep!”
The little fox raised its head and looked around, suddenly gaining clarity and understanding the dangerous situation. Meeping weakly, it struggled to crawl out from Bei Feng’s grasp.
Bei Feng did not think too much of it, and directly lifted the little fellow out with a light smile on his face. “In the end, it’s you who will be accompanying me.”
Bei Feng caressed the little fox with one hand as his mind drifted to unknown places.
The shard under his feet was growing smaller and smaller, and was less than a meter wide now. It was barely enough for him to sit cross-legged.
His long snow-white hair blew along the movements of the air in the small space; the parts that extended past the shard’s edge were directly chopped off, disappearing completely.
Everything that had happened since his childhood flashed past his mind like a movie, and even scenes that he’d intentionally thrown from his mind or forgotten suddenly all surged back to him.
“Wu!”
The little fox opened its mouth and bit down hard on Bei Feng’s palm!
Bei Feng lowered his head and looked at his palm with some incredulity. There were actually two tiny bite marks dripping with blood on his palm!
His body was so powerful now that even bullets could not break his skin. But now, it’d actually been hurt by the little fox’s bite!
“Meep, meep!”
The little fox cried out softly as tears filled its eyes. A look of yearning and unwillingness shone in its eyes as it took one last look at Bei Feng’s face. Following that, the look hardened into resolve!
Under Bei Feng’s astonished gaze, the little bit of fur on its back began to disappear, and soon after, its entire body turned crystalline; even its innards could be seen!
“What are you doing?! Stop it now!”
Bei Feng’s eyes widened as he suddenly had an ominous feeling. Standing up, he cradled the little fox in his arms in panic.
The little fox ignored Bei Feng’s words and its forehead suddenly split open as a drop of black-colored blood the size of a pinky floated towards Bei Feng!
From this drop of blood, Bei Feng could feel the presence of the little fox’s soul. He did not dodge, knowing that the little fox would not harm him.
In Bei Feng’s vision, this drop of blood floated to his forehead, and like a drop of water entering a lake, it directly sank into his sea of consciousness without leaving any mark on his forehead!
In his sea of consciousness, Bei Feng’s spirit hovered before him. With a wave of his hand, the drop of blood flew towards his spirit and directly burrowed between his spirit’s brows!
“Ka-cha!”
Between his brows, a stellar acupoint was opened. This was not a stellar acupoint that was recorded in the Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique. This stellar acupoint would also not birth a Star God. This stellar acupoint was formed using the little Fox of Human and Natural Disaster’s soul blood as the lead and the evil source energy as the base to produce a Bane Star!
Bei Feng watched joylessly as his mental power sank into his sea of consciousness. The shard that he was standing on had already become smaller and smaller at this point!
A part of Bei Feng’s body had even been directly corroded by the void energy already. Bei Feng was like a cluster of sand at this point, and as the shard below him grew smaller and smaller, his body began to disappear!
Bei Feng’s face was devoid of joy or sorrow, as if he couldn’t feel any pain at all.
At this moment, huge changes were happening in his sea of consciousness. In the instant that his stellar acupoint opened, large amounts of calamity Qi that was hidden in the soul blood burst out in a terrifying manner. Any normal human’d be in deep trouble if they even got touched by a strand of it!
The evil source energy in his dantian also surged endlessly into the stellar acupoint, and even the 10 percent of evil energy that he thought had been lost flowed over from all parts of his body into the stellar acupoint!
Large amounts of evil source energy and calamity Qi merged together, using the little fox’s soul blood as the base to create a never before seen Star God!
Not only that, the Extreme Yang star and Extreme Yin star also stirred as the two opposing kinds of stellar energy merged together again!
Following that, numerous strands of Primordial Chaos Qi began to appear! Just a single strand caused Bei Feng’s soul to feel like it was going to be crushed!
10 strands of Primordial Chaos Qi flowed into the stellar acupoint, and the two Third Stage Perfect Star Gods fell apart and reverted to their original form!
Only by resting for a long period of time time would they be able to recuperate!
After an unknown amount of time, all the evil source energy and the calamity Qi had merged together perfectly, forming into a completely black-colored heart that was surrounded by Primordial Chaos Qi!
“Badump! Badump!”
The powerful heartbeat rang out in Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness, jolting his soul!
Bei Feng’s soul began to grow taller in this moment. In just an instant, it’d already reached one cun tall! This increase was at least 10 times the original size!
“This is what you intended?”
Bei Feng finally understood what the little fox had done. There were no other options other than this to raise his chances of survival!
With the size of his soul right now, together with the strength of his mental power, he could survive for a short period of time without a physical body!
But even with the little fox sacrificing itself like that, his chance of survival was still incredibly slim. After all, the physical body was like the boat which held the soul as the sailor, and mental power was only the oars which steered the boat! The boundless bitter sea that they were on was called cultivation!
And now? Bei Feng opened his eyes to see his shoulders disappearing bit by bit. The boat was ruined, and with only the oars and the sailor remaining, how was he supposed to cross the bitter sea?
This place was not land, but the endless starry sky. Even if his soul had achieved a breakthrough in quality, he would still die if it couldn’t find a suitable body to attach it to!
There was a technique in the Yin-Yang School’s legacy that taught one to do that, but with Bei Feng’s mental power, there was more than a 90 percent chance of failure even if the target was just a random cat or dog! And the remaining 10 percent would most likely not be a smooth transition, leaving him with a fractured or injured soul. In any case, seizing the body of another person was incredibly difficult!
As Bei Feng’s body disappeared bit by bit, even he found his situation sadly amusing. For someone like him who’d obtained a heaven defying piece of luck 1 , there probably weren’t many who’d ended up in such a wretched state.
Very soon, the shard under Bei Feng’s feet completely disappeared and Bei Feng’s body was instantly disintegrated by the void energy, turning into dust.
After an unknown amount of time, Bei Feng finally opened his eyes. He felt incredibly weak, and the space around him felt like knives which sliced at his soul constantly!
Bei Feng’s mental power was depleting at an extremely rapid pace as it fought to hold back the corroding spatial energy forms. However, there were still some energy that seeped through and sliced his soul.
This kind of pain was far more terrifying than the pain of the physical body. It was so tormenting that Bei Feng mind was scattered!
Bei Feng’s soul would heal immediately after every slash, but after it recovered, it would grow slightly weaker.
Time passed, and Bei Feng’s soul was still drifting through the spatial wormhole. His mental power was completely exhausted, and he was currently holding on completely by the strength of his soul.
Bei Feng’s soul was scarred and battered at this time, and the speed of reparation was slower than its destruction. The height of the soul had also dropped from one chi to three cun tall!
However, its toughness had increased by an uncountable number of times. The impurities inside of the soul were usually the hardest to remove. And right now, Bei Feng’s soul was like a burning piece of metal that was being refined continously. Only, the slightest carelessness during this kind of refining method would result in irrecoverable damage.
“Ding! Host’s body is determined to be in imminent threat of death. Commence resue plan?”
The emotionless voice of the System suddenly sounded out coldly in Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness.
“Commence it!”
Bei Feng had never found that emotionless voice of the System so pleasing to the ears before. At this moment, he did not even care about what conditions the System would have for such a rescue plan, agreeing immediately without hesitation.
Previously, he had been hesitant to raise his Fisherman grade to Grade 5 because he had some reservations towards this System. After all, he’d been scammed multiple times by it before. But at this moment, the System had become his only life-saving straw that he grasped firmly onto!
“Ding! Rescue plan commencing, 60 million experience points deducted!”
The cold voice of the System rang out as a layer of gray smoke appeared around Bei Feng’s soul. The gray smoke directly isolated his soul from the chaotic spatial energy, and at the same time, it began to repair his injuries.
Hearing the System deduct 60 million experience points for the rescue mission, Bei Feng felt extremely lucky that he hadn’t used the experience points much nor raised the Fisherman grade in the last few years. Although 60 million experience points was a hefty amount, it was still something that he could fork out!
‘How close! If I didn’t have enough experience points this time, wouldn’t I have died?’
Bei Feng felt a great lingering fear in his heart. He just so happened to have slightly more than 60 million experience points saved up. After using several hundred thousand points to translate the Yin-Yang School’s legacy, he only had 6000-plus experience points remaining.
“Ding! You get what you pay for. Different rescue plans will require a different amount of experience points. This rescue plan was deemed the most suitable based on host’s currently available experience points,” the System explained cooly in response to Bei Feng’s question.
But before Bei Feng could answer it, he’d fallen unconscious. Following that, the gray fog carried him away, drifting far into the distance and disappearing.
