# Chapter 1747: Burning
It seemed this dimensional gap was far more lively than he had imagined!
Jiangnan sat atop the earthworm, his Sky-Severing Blade pressed horizontally against its neck!
(ꐦ‾᷄～‾᷅)۶¤=[=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞7
"Tell me about that Black God. What's this Lost Kingdom business? If you make me happy enough, I might just let you off the hook!"
The earthworm dared not show any toughness now. It spewed out everything like beans spilling from a jar!
"Black God is the supreme deity, the one and only king! The unshakable ruler of the dimensional gap! The overlord!"
"No dimensional creature dares to disobey Him!"
"And the Lost Kingdom is the holy nation, the paradise, the promised land that Black God created in the dimensional gap! It is the place every dimensional creature dreams of!"
"If we can enter the Lost Kingdom, we're set for life! This is the dream of every dimensional creature, you know?"
Jiangnan was astonished. There was actually an unknown nation within the dimensional gap?
Remember, this was 3.5-dimensional space!
What kind of being could forge a holy kingdom here with their own hands?
"Is Black God very strong? What do they look like? Got any tumors in their head?"
The earthworm was terrified. This human dared to have designs on Lord Black God?
"Are you crazy? Lord Black God is omnipotent in this dimensional gap! No creature has ever seen Black God's true form! Their existence transcends our understanding!"
"All we know is that Lord Black God loves collecting organs and body parts from various races, especially human ones. Anyone who obtains them is handsomely rewarded!"
"Families like the Three-Eyed Marten Clan and the Void Black Dragon Clan have all become rich!"
As it spoke, it looked at Jiangnan's body greedily again.
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. Amidst its screams of pain, he performed another amputation surgery on the earthworm.
Only then did he understand. It turned out that most dimensional creatures completed contracts to exchange various body parts as offerings to Black God!
And Black God would grant them the qualification to enter the Lost Kingdom!
Black God especially liked human body parts, even appendixes?
So it wasn't just Mo Mo who had summoning-type abilities. There should be many among the Starry Sky Races!
But what was this strange hobby of Black God's? Collecting body parts from various races?
What for? To take them back and display them for appreciation?
How perverted!
Jiangnan didn't dare to test this level of being lightly. After all, this was an overlord-level big shot in the dimensional gap, a being beyond comprehension!
With his mere Starlight rank going over there, he'd probably just be delivering food. If he got turned into a specimen or something, that wouldn't be good.
But he still couldn't help asking: "Is the Lost Kingdom far from here?"
The earthworm nodded: "There's no concept of distance in the dimensional gap, but it takes a long time to get there."
Jiangnan's heart itched. In that kingdom, there must be powerful dimensional creatures everywhere!
That was money, wasn't it? Dimensional pearls and such could be obtained easily, right?
Liu Mang trembled: ● "Nan Shen, you're not thinking of going for a stroll in the Lost Kingdom, are you?"
Jiangnan shook his head: "I don't have that much time to waste here. Besides, going there might get me turned into a specimen!"
Liu Mang patted his chest. Good, good. Nan Shen hadn't gone crazy.
Looking at the trembling earthworms under his gaze, Jiangnan's eyes sparkled with mischief.
(ಡ.̫ಡ)
Before long, in the endless darkness!
Void chains tied nine hundred-meter-long giant earthworms, one end fastened to the Spirit-Sealing Pillar!
Space kept folding plus teleportation, reaching an astonishing speed!
Shanmiao covered her face. Riding in a carriage pulled by earthworms? Was this all really not a dream?
Catching dimensional creatures to pull a carriage? How could this be possible?
Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Others have nine dragons pulling a coffin, majestic beyond compare! You've got nine earthworms pulling a pillar?"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips and grinned: "If I hadn't run into dragons, it would have been dragons pulling the pillar. These stupid earthworms are way too slow!"
"Hurry up! Or I'll cut you in half and make it eighteen earthworms pulling the pillar! Double the speed!"
The earthworms were about to cry. You're not even human, you know. Cutting them in half wouldn't make them faster!
We're working as your slaves and you still complain? If you don't like it, don't use us!
Jiangnan held the earthworm king's dimensional pearl in his hand, looking hesitant.
Absorb or not absorb?
If he absorbed it, his Starlight technique would be secured, and his strength could increase a little more.
But whether it was spatial confinement, folding, or vortex, Jiangnan didn't really fancy any of them. Their offensive power was limited.
The improvement wouldn't be significant. Now that he was Starlight rank, every skill slot was precious.
Although Jiangnan was confident he could use these skills creatively, it would be hard to achieve a qualitative change.
The situation outside was critical. He had to become as strong as possible by any means to have a chance to influence the situation in future battles.
"Tsk~ That little loach's warp bubble is the real deal. Compared to it, these are all garbage."
Clearly, Jiangnan was thinking about the Yo-Yo Void Loach again. If he had warp bubble, his strength would definitely undergo another qualitative leap.
He wondered if Void Sea had opened up along with this spiritual calamity.
"Hey~ Are there any other gathering places for dimensional creatures nearby? I might as well cut their tumors along the way."
The earthworm trembled: "There are some, but they're far away. It would take a lot of time to..."
Jiangnan waved his hand dismissively:
(︶～︶#)۶ "Alright, alright, forget it. Just pull your pillar honestly!"
Liu Mang swallowed hard. Good heavens. If time weren't an issue, Nan Shen wanted to grind for monsters in the dimensional gap too?
Was he the only human who could live so freely in the dimensional gap?
And so, nine earthworms pulling a pillar carried Jiangnan and the other two straight toward the star-mark node!
The outside world was in chaos. Jiangnan was worried about Huaxia and wanted to get out as soon as possible, but it would probably take a while.
...
A bit earlier, right when the three Spirit-Sealing Spell Arrays were unsealed and spirit realms from four different eras were opening worldwide!
The transfer work at Rongcheng toward the Toy House was far from complete!
The Pioneer Basin was packed with people, carrying large bags and small bundles, surging toward the Toy House!
Everything was still orderly. The queue echoed with crisp, silver-bell-like laughter from children!
Some kids were throwing snowballs and making faces at each other. Clearly, to children, they didn't understand what was about to happen.
They even found it fun and amusing. After all, children's worlds are always full of innocence and curiosity.
Just then, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to surge violently, even forming thick spiritual fog!
Even in the deep winter, this terrifying amount of spiritual energy gave people a warm, spring-like feeling.
Xiao Chuihuo, dressed in Tang-style clothing, stood with his hands behind his back, his expression turning serious.
At that moment, Jiang Ning appeared holding Jiang Jing, her eyes filled with anxiety!
"Grandpa Xiao! It's starting!"
Above the sky, on the ground, even within Rongcheng City built of steel and concrete!
Space gates opened one after another in succession!
The earth began to tremble. Beast roars echoed through the nine heavens!
Bloodshot-eyed spirit beasts, countless as a tidal wave, surged out of the spirit realms in massive numbers!
In an instant, the orderly queue of people began to descend into chaos. Panicked screams rang out!
All Spirit Martial troops gripped their weapons tightly, fully on alert!
Guan Tai glared: "In! Get in, damn it! Activate the God-Slaying Spell Array! Seal the entrance to the Toy House!"
Someone immediately shouted anxiously: "Are you sure? The transfer isn't complete yet! There are still people in the city! What about the civilians outside the array?"
Guan Tai roared: "Hurry the hell up! I told you to activate it! Do you want everyone inside the array to die with you?"
Everyone present was a civilian with no combat power. If even one spirit beast got in or a single spirit technique was thrown over,
Casualties would be in the hundreds or thousands!
Hesitation would only cause greater losses!
Xiao Chuihuo squinted, flames swirling around his body: "No need. I'm here. First, let's..."
Before he could finish, a giant space gate suddenly opened above the Pioneer Basin!
A yellow leopard over a hundred meters long raised its claws and charged out of the space gate, rushing toward the dense crowd!
Its rank was a full Dao Heaven Three Star!
Its whole body flashed with dazzling lightning. Opening its mouth, it spat out a thunderbolt a hundred meters thick, blasting toward the crowd at terrifying speed!
Guan Tai's eyes turned bloodshot. He roared, throwing himself recklessly above the crowd!
In an instant, he transformed into a hundred-meter-long golden furious lion, using his body to block the massive thunderbolt aimed at the crowd!
Then, he opened his mouth and bit down on the leopard's neck. Blood splattered everywhere!
He wrestled it to the edge of the basin, sending dirt and stone flying everywhere!
But behind the leopard, even more spirit beasts were charging out!
Xiao Chuihuo's eyes were blazing with fury. Now it was too late to activate the array!
The spirit realm opening right in their faces?
Xiao Chuihuo's whole body blazed with scorching flames. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers!
A dark red pellet flew forward, directly hitting the space gate!
"Boom!"
The explosive flames were dazzling. The shockwave pushed back the tide of beasts charging out!
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Chuihuo arrived before the spirit realm's space gate. He made a pushing motion with both hands!
Flames raged wildly around his body!
"Prairie Fire • Burning!"
"Boom!"
Endless flames erupted, pouring directly into the spirit realm! Not a single spirit beast could charge out!
Meanwhile, Rongcheng City was already in complete chaos!
There were still large numbers of people in the city who hadn't completed their evacuation. But countless Hellfire Dragons were pouring out of the spirit realms!
They flew above the city, their wings stirring up terrifying heat waves!
Opening their mouths, they spewed fire pillars dozens of meters thick!
Explosions and collapses rang out one after another. It was a scene of doomsday!
Countless people were consumed by the sea of fire. Rongcheng was already glowing with flames!
Xiao Chuihuo cursed: "Motherf*cker!"
Maintaining the burning with one hand, he raised the other toward the sky above Rongcheng!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Over a dozen dark red pellets blasted through at fifteen times the speed of sound, exploding over Rongcheng!
Over a dozen thirty-thousand-meter fire lotuses bloomed in the sky!
Countless Hellfire Dragons were scorched black, falling from the sky!
Back at the spirit realm, Xiao Chuihuo stopped the burning!
No more spirit beasts charged out. Only magma, like a waterfall, flowed out of the space gate!
Mixed with countless charred black beast corpses!
