Chapter 2227: This Unlucky Kid
"Heaven's Favor Eye, activate! Visual Sharing!"
Shengyi's eyes were wide open, her pupils darting rapidly in all directions, locking onto every position.
Within Tiantang Zhijing, two-dimensional plane fragments were everywhere, varying in size, moving in chaotic, unpredictable patterns. Some drifted extremely slowly, while others moved at astonishing speeds. Even a fragment as small as a fingernail, upon contact, could be instantly fatal, reducing a person to a two-dimensional state. Here, even one would not dare to release their mental energy, as touching a fragment would cause it to be devoured by the two-dimensional plane. Furthermore, the plane would frantically extend toward the source of the mental energy release.
Jiangnan could sense the spatial fluctuations emitted by the two-dimensional planes, but there were too many of them, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact positions. Moreover, the spatial energy within Tiantang Zhijing was extremely pure, further weakening his perception of spatial fluctuations. Yet Jiangnan felt a sense of liberation, like a fish returning to the sea, and couldn't help but start frolicking around.
Fortunately, Shengyi was there. Her eyes served as the best scanning device. Under the visual sharing ability, everyone could receive the images she saw. Some directions shone with golden light, marking safe paths, while others were pitch-black and silent, indicating dead ends. Although the safe paths were few, the golden lights formed a continuous route forward, pointing the way for Jiangnan.
Jiangnan moved like a slippery loach, using his mental energy to carry everyone on a wild dash through Tiantang Zhijing. It was like bursting into a dazzling kaleidoscope world, surrounded by a magnificent and mystical starry gallery.
Shengyi's face turned pale with fright.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪﹏꒪‧̣̥̇) "Slow down! Slow down! At this speed, if we crash, we'll die!"
Just then, a dark venomous stinger shot out from the gap between two-dimensional fragments, moving extremely fast, heading straight for Jiangnan and the others. But the next moment, under Xuanshe's stunned gaze, Jiangnan and the group instantly vanished from their spot and reappeared over a hundred thousand meters away. The venomous stinger hit nothing.
Xuanshe's eyes widened, and he froze in place.
∑(°ロ°๑) "Teleportation? Did you just use teleportation?"
Jiangnan propped his chin, surveying the surroundings.
(͡°ก͡°) "We're deep enough in now. No one should disturb me here, right?"
Xuanshe squinted. "Answer my question. How can you use teleportation?"
Jiangnan grinned.
(๑¯ĭ↼¯ĭ) "There's no need for me to answer that question anymore. You're already my prey anyway. It's normal for a Dark Soul Clan member to use teleportation, isn't it?"
Xuanshe gritted his teeth. "Bullshit! I've never heard of a Dark Soul Clan member using teleportation! You have a summoning ability? That's your trump card? Ha! If that's the case, you're in trouble. Within Tiantang Zhijing, space is chaotic and disordered. You can't break space, so you won't be able to summon dimensional creatures."
Jiangnan was taken aback. He then slammed his head into the space in front of him. A glazed-colored radiance flickered on the top of his head, but he hit nothing. The space wasn't shattered by Absolute Spirit Flash.
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh? Really? Can't break it? So what? You're all high and mighty, but you can't contact your main body either, right? We're even."
Xuanshe sneered. Indeed, the connection between his avatar and his main body had been severed by countless two-dimensional planes. But so what? "Heh, what difference does it make? What bothers me is that glazed colored energy. The Dark Soul Clan doesn't have that ability. You're not from the Dark Soul Clan? If I'm not mistaken, Black is already dead, isn't he? A small mine boss like him wouldn't dare do such a thing. Who exactly are you?"
Jiangnan smiled brilliantly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand, and six massive rift-saw blades instantly took shape, howling as they slashed toward Xuanshe. "Keep guessing. You can be a bit bolder."
Xuanshe raised his hand, and a dark matter force field instantly materialized, deflecting the six rift-saw blades, which then heavily struck the two-dimensional plane fragment behind Xuanshe. They silently sliced into it, causing the fragment to instantly reduce the blades to two dimensions, releasing a massive amount of energy. The fragment then frantically expanded in all directions, like it had been injected with a stimulant.
Jiangnan watched this scene, his eyes sparkling. But Xuanshe froze in place.
Σ(°△°|||) "Rift-saw blades? Jiangnan? You're the Jiang Devil? Impossible!"
In the starry sky, everyone recognized Jiangnan's spiritual techniques, and Xuanshe instantly identified them.
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. (๑◔̫◔ิ) "Oh? Quite knowledgeable, aren't you? You guessed correctly, but no reward."
Xuanshe glared. "You should be in Ming He Death Prison right now, not here! You, you, you... did you escape?"
Escape from the Minghe Star Domain spanning eight million light-years? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! But this was undoubtedly Jiangnan. There was no one else in the starry sky who could be this infuriating.
The Sacred Law Council thought they had ended Jiangnan, but who knew he was actually in the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang, hijacking his cargo and recklessly wandering the starry sky? You call this suffering? If the Sacred Law Council knew this news...
Thinking of this, Xuanshe's face darkened. They couldn't know. He couldn't contact his main body. Communication was cut off. Jiangnan did it on purpose. Knowing he couldn't make contact, Jiangnan revealed his identity.
Jiangnan smiled, stepping through the starry sky, advancing step by step. "Ming He Death Prison? It's not like I can't come and go as I please. Since you know who I am, there's no need for you to continue existing. I'm taking this account!"
As he spoke, Jiangnan's body was wracked with intense spatial fluctuations. He formed hand seals at his chest, his eyes bloodshot.
(˶‾᷄⁻‾᷅˵) "Black Hole... Devouring Star!"
Xuanshe: !!!
Damn it!
Without a second word, he turned and bolted, with no intention of fighting Jiangnan. Even Star Devourers didn't want to touch that thing. How could his small account possibly withstand it? But after running far away, he looked back and saw no movement. Jiangnan was still standing in place, his face flushed red.
(◦´థжథ)σ "Pfft! You actually believed that? Do you really think I'd need to use a big move to deal with you? How foolish would I have to be?"
Shengyi: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Scaring Xuanshe that far away with just four words? Nan Shen was definitely one of a kind, right?
Wang Youzhi's mouth twitched. He even made hand seals! I thought he was really going to unleash a big move. Even I want to beat him up right now!
[From Xuanshe: Resentment +1009!]
Xuanshe roared at the sky.
(ง°皿°)ง "Ahhh! You bastard! I'm definitely going to kill you!"
He stretched out his hand, aiming at Jiangnan's direction.
"Energy Burst!"
Instantly, the energy accumulated within everyone's bodies became restless. This was the aberrant nature of the Chaos Race—they could control almost any natural energy.
Jiu Lan squinted. "Domain Expansion: Ming He Chong Xing!"
Endless Stygian energy burst forth like a nine-curved raging dragon, instantly enveloping the entire area. The Chaos Race could easily detonate spiritual energy, but when faced with Stygian energy, they were completely helpless. The Energy Burst was suppressed instantly.
However, Jiangnan and Wang Youzhi's faces turned pale.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "Don't!"
But it was too late. The shattered two-dimensional planes around them were swept into Jiu Lan's Ming He Chong Xing domain. Like a drought finally meeting rain, all Stygian energy that touched the two-dimensional plane fragments was instantly reduced to two dimensions. All fragments within the domain were nourished, growing wildly and expanding wantonly. Fragments that were originally only the size of a fingernail suddenly exploded to tens of thousands of meters or more. The entire domain was being two-dimensionalized. Countless fragments extended at extreme speed toward Jiu Lan's position, leaving no living space. Two-dimensional fragments were advancing from all directions.
Jiu Lan's face instantly turned pale. And under the shroud of Stygian energy, everyone's abilities were sealed. There was no way to teleport. This was bad.
In that split-second crisis, Jiu Lan bit her lower lip and heavily slapped Jiangnan's back.
"Ming He Sheng Yin!"
In an instant, Jiangnan felt all the Stygian energy covering him being repelled by the life seal, restoring his abilities.
Warp bubble!
A warp bubble instantly formed. Under the Heaven's Favor Eye, a safe path emerged. The warp bubble carried everyone at maximum curvature, darting away. But the speed was too fast. Tiantang Zhijing was full of fragments. Careening around in a warp bubble was suicide. Just as they were about to hit a two-dimensional plane and become photos of the entire group, Jiangnan's eyes blazed.
Space Wormhole: Time-Space Corridor!
A wormhole formed instantly, passing through the two-dimensional plane. A pair of wormholes created a time-space corridor, within which the warp bubble frantically shuttled. This finally gave Jiangnan a chance to brake.
Jiangnan came to a screeching halt, drenched in cold sweat. He looked back at their original position. There, it was already filled with dense two-dimensional fragments. The domain they had just released was completely two-dimensionalized. One more moment, and everyone would have been trapped inside. Fortunately, Jiangnan's operation was extremely precise.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at Jiu Lan with resentful expressions.
Jiu Lan looked apologetic, lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers.
(⑉⸝ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅⸝⑉) "I... I'm sorry. I forgot..."
Wang Youzhi pointed at her: (°～°〃)☛ "She really is quite unlucky."
Rather than being wiped out by Xuanshe, they almost killed themselves.
Meanwhile, Xuanshe on the side was completely stunned.
Jiangnan, however, was astonished. "What was that Ming He Sheng Yin just now? Even within your Ming He Chong Xing domain, I was able to use my abilities?"
Jiu Lan blushed. "Because it's my domain. I decide who to seal and who not to seal. The Ming He Sheng Yin only works within my domain. But within the Minghe Star Domain, the life seal is useless, because the eight million light-year flow of the Stygian River creates too strong a field. No one can suppress it or push it aside. Otherwise, if I gave you a life seal, you could just run away directly. Why would we have to go through all this trouble?"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up with understanding. So that's how it was. Jiu Lan's Ming He Chong Xing domain was somewhat similar to Big Wolf's Extreme Day Cloud Sea.
