I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 342 The world collapses
Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy when he heard this. He always felt as if he was involved in some big trouble.

"Boy, although I don't know why you have succeeded in cultivating immortals and practicing Qi, if you want to achieve great success in the future, you can't do without the help of this old osmanthus. It will be beneficial to you to marry this old osmanthus. When you cultivate to the realm of 'advancing martial fire and retreating Yin Fu' in the future, you will still have to count on this old osmanthus to help you build a supreme foundation." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen felt a headache when he heard this, but now that trouble had come to him, he had no good way to avoid it.

"It's just a matter of using a little bit of magic power to nourish it every day. It's nothing to me." Zhang Chen could only keep comforting himself.

As for the future battles for destiny and fortune, they are too far away for him. When he becomes stronger in the future, he will just kill the opponent regardless of his origin.

It was a blessing for Zhang Chen to take back the Dinghai Divine Pearl.

However, without the incense and faith in Huangli Temple, the progress of his skill improvement was inevitably delayed, which made him feel very troubled.

Zhang Chen took back the Dinghai Pearl and returned to his own cottage to meditate in silence. He then began to refine the slingshot. Now that he had no source of points, he could only rely on his own initiative to comprehend the skills.

As Zhang Chen was meditating, time passed quickly and the day when the space channel would be closed had arrived. In about two months, the space channel would collapse.

And the date of destruction of the first level of the spiritual world is getting closer.

If nothing unexpected happens, space destruction should come before the closure of the space channel.

"Boy, the first level of the spiritual world has begun to be destroyed. If you want to absorb the power of the storm when the spiritual world is destroyed and collapsed, you should set off now." The Great Freedom Demon reminded Zhang Chen.

"What should I do?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Once you enter the space channel, you will naturally know what to do." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen nodded after hearing this, and then put away the slingshot, feeling somewhat worried: "What about the big black dog? I'm afraid that the big black dog will cause trouble to me at a critical moment and delay my practice."

"The big black dog hasn't woken up yet! Even if the big black dog wakes up, the worst that can happen is you can just hit him with another brick." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his Pangu Stone could be so powerful. Two months had passed, and the big black dog hadn't woken up yet. Since there was no big black dog to bother him, Zhang Chen turned into a vampire bat and flapped his wings away. When he reappeared, he had arrived in front of the space channel. At this time, the space channel was still crowded with people, and people from major families kept going in and out of the space channel.

There is never a shortage of people who are willing to take a chance in this world.

Zhang Chen mingled in the crowd, watching the Pingbian Palace continuously dispatching tens of thousands of civilians to die, and seeing batches of people from the martial arts world enter the first level of the spiritual world to try their luck.

People kept bringing out bundles of green grass from the spiritual world. The green grass was ordinary in the spiritual world, but when it came to the material world, it inexplicably changed, exuding a mysterious aura and becoming a mysterious thing.

Not only grass, but also people carrying wooden barrels and buckets of soil were brought out from the opposite spiritual world, and then they were scrambled and bought by major families.

"My goodness, these people are really shameless!" Zhang Chen looked at the people coming in and out of the space channel and couldn't help but be amazed. These people are all Zhou Baopi.

However, every blade of grass and every tree in the spiritual world has mysterious power, and when brought to the material world, they will indeed have various incredible effects.

Zhang Chen got himself a straw hat, put it on and walked through the passage between the two worlds. He came to the other end of the space passage and saw smoke and dust covering dozens of miles in front of him. Everything was bare. Not only had all the grass and trees been picked clean, but there were also tens of thousands of laborers digging the soil and transporting it out.

"It's really the locusts that are passing through." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, and then said to the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon: "What should we do now?"

"Fly south, and after flying three thousand miles, you should be able to see the collapsed space." The Great Freedom Demon looked at the distant sky and replied.

Zhang Chen flapped his wings and flew away. In just three days, he had flown over a distance of three thousand miles. Then, he suddenly stopped in mid-air, and looked up at the distant sky with a look of horror in his eyes.

What is the scenario of space collapse?
It was like a black wave sweeping in, destroying the entire world wherever it passed.

Or maybe the whole world is like a destroyed domino, breaking apart bit by bit from the edges, and the broken parts reveal a dark space, in which a black storm is flowing, constantly invading the edge of the world.

The collapse of the spiritual world does not happen in an instant, it is a long process.

The whole process is like a biscuit being crushed at the edges, slowly but surely.

As the space in the distance collapsed, a huge storm arose in the spiritual world, blowing sand and rocks into the sky and darkening the earth, just like the end of the world. The vampire bat transformed by Zhang Chen also swayed continuously with the hurricane.

"Did you see it? That's the space storm! You must be careful not to get caught in the space storm, otherwise you will lose your way and most likely die of old age in the endless darkness." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of caution.

"This space storm is so terrifying, can I really withstand it?" Zhang Chen looked at the dark nothingness that stretched for hundreds of miles, like a wild beast's mouth, biting at a biscuit bit by bit, and couldn't help feeling creepy.

"If it's pure force of space collapse, you certainly can't resist it. Even for a fruit-level existence, it's extremely difficult to resist space annihilation. But what's before your eyes is the space storm that was born when the world collapsed and was destroyed. The space storm destroyed the spiritual world, causing the spiritual world to collapse, and then gave birth to another spiritual storm. Since it's a storm, it's certainly within the range of your Wind-Fixing Bead's restraint. Don't worry, no matter how fierce the storm is, it will definitely not be able to do anything to you." said the Great Freedom Demon.

After hearing what Great Freedom Demon said, Zhang Chen glanced at this guy, but he didn't dare to be careless. What if this bastard harmed him, wouldn't he be dead without a burial place?

So Zhang Chen revealed his true appearance on the top of a mountain, looked towards the spiritual storm that was sweeping and expanding in the distance, and began to chant mantras to try to absorb the spirit in the spiritual storm.

The spiritual storm is born when the space storm destroys the spiritual world, so its expansion range is limited, always within ten miles of the space storm where the world barrier is destroyed.

The spiritual storm is inside the world, and the space storm is outside the world.

As for whether Zhang Chen would be left here after the space channel was closed, Zhang Chen was not worried. The mental storm was still three thousand miles away from the space channel. At the current speed, it would take three to five days to blow over.

Zhang Chen had the Wind Calming Pill in his hand, and all hurricanes that came within a few feet of Zhang Chen became calm in an instant. Then Zhang Chen was seen making hand gestures, preparing to absorb the spiritual storm in the distance. However, the dark spiritual storm was a hundred miles away from Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen could not absorb it at this time.

"Boy, don't be afraid! Rush directly into the mental storm and absorb the spirit within it." The bastard Great Freedom Demon kept instigating Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen ignored what Mahadeva said. This bastard was using vicious tricks all day long.

As the spiritual storm approached, Zhang Chen felt a little panicked as he saw the collapsed space opening its bloody mouth like a prehistoric beast and approaching him. Fortunately, Zhang Chen's Wind-Fixing Pill flashed with light, covering him tightly. Even though the wind and sand from the outside world were blowing darkly, they could not do anything to Zhang Chen. When the spiritual storm was ten miles away from Zhang Chen, he finally absorbed a wisp of black wind from the void.

That wisp of black wind was extremely violent, and it distorted the world wherever it passed. The air was violently hit by that wisp of mental storm, and it rolled up into sandstorms. However, after that wisp of mental storm was drawn by Zhang Chen and entered the range of the Wind-Fixing Pill, it immediately calmed down and began to weaken and dissipate.

Zhang Chen couldn't let that spiritual storm be suppressed and dissipated by the power of the Wind-Fixing Pill, so he quickly absorbed the calmed storm power into the Heng acupoint.

As the spiritual storm was absorbed into Zhang Chen's Heng acupoint, Zhang Chen's secret method was activated, and the spiritual storm was decomposed by magic power, branded by his magical power, and refined in some mysterious way. Then, when the spiritual storm disappeared, a few grains of black sand fell into the Heng acupoint.

There was a vortex of Yin wind flowing in the Heng acupoint. At this time, the black sand and gravel fell and landed directly in the vortex of Yin wind and was pulled by the vortex of Yin wind.

"Success!" Zhang Chen was overjoyed seeing this scene.

The mental storm was ten miles away from him, but the aftermath of the mental storm had already blown over in advance, and ten miles was the range estimated by Zhang Chen.

Taking the core of the mental storm as the starting point, once the power of the mental storm's aftermath exceeds ten miles, it will be eliminated by the power of the material world, so Zhang Chen estimated that the distance of ten miles is a limit distance.

Once it exceeds ten miles, the mental storm will disappear.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the spot, constantly breathing in and out to capture the aftermath of the spiritual storm in the air. Grains of black sand were refined by Zhang Chen and scattered in the Hum acupoint.

As the mental storm got closer, Zhang Chen absorbed the power of the mental storm faster and faster.

Bali
Nanasato
five miles
……

The mental storm was getting closer and closer to Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen's body was covered with Wind-Fixing Pills. No matter how fierce the mental storm was, darkening the sky and shaking the mountains, he could not do anything to it.

Only then did Zhang Chen believe what the Great Freedom Demon said. The mental storm was indeed powerless against the Wind-Fixing Pill.

As the spiritual storm got closer, the power of the spiritual storm in the air began to become abundant, and the speed of Zhang Chen's refining the spiritual storm became faster and faster, until the spiritual storm was close to one mile. Zhang Chen stopped absorbing the spiritual storm, and looked towards the approaching dark void outside the world barrier, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Only now could he see clearly from a close distance that in the darkness, a raging space storm was sweeping and raging, constantly destroying the edge of the spiritual world.

The spiritual world and the space storm in the darkness are clearly separated. The space storm is in the endless darkness, while there is an inexplicable force in the spiritual world that resists the invasion of the space storm in the darkness.

Even if the spiritual world resists instinctively, the space storm still penetrates through space, causing the spiritual world's material to collapse, decompose and become chaotic, and a spiritual storm blows up.

The power of the spiritual storm that Zhang Chen absorbed at this time was nothing more than the energy left after the spiritual world was destroyed by the space storm.

In Zhang Chen's view, the entire spiritual world at this moment was like a piece of paper, and the space storm in the endless darkness was like a burning flame. The flame burned the paper bit by bit, slowly but firmly.

The spiritual storm that Zhang Chen absorbed was nothing more than a spark that had not yet been extinguished floating from the flames.

The dark void was like a gaping mouth. Wherever it passed, the mountains disappeared, the earth was annihilated, and the grass and other objects disappeared one after another.

"That darkness is an endless void. Once you are drawn into it, you will lose your way." The Great Freedom Demon reminded Zhang Chen in his ear.

Zhang Chen looked at the sun, moon, mountains and rivers slowly disappearing under the "dark mouth" and was extremely shocked: "Those mountains? Matter? Plants? All destroyed by the space storm?"

"That's right!" The Great Freedom Demon nodded: "Only some things that are not afraid of space storms will be thrown away in the space storm and fall into the material world, which is the material world you are in now."

Zhang Chen was extremely shocked. Seeing the space storm approaching, he turned around and ran without saying a word.

He didn't want to be sucked into it and try the power of the space storm.

At this time, the sky was filled with wind and sand, which made the whole place dark and cloudy.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen had the Wind-Fixing Bead. After running ten miles away, he sat cross-legged again and began to capture the spiritual storm.

Not long after, before Zhang Chen's eyes, the mountain where he had been sitting cross-legged disappeared into the dark space.

The dark void on the opposite side seemed like a bottomless pit. Anything that fell into it would be swallowed up completely.

Zhang Chen worked hard to capture the spiritual storm and increase his own foundation.

As the mental storm approached again, Zhang Chen stood up and fled again. However, this time, when Zhang Chen fled, he suddenly thought of the big black dog: "I say, has the big black dog woken up? Could it be that the guy was swept into the space storm and lost his life?"

"You think too much. How can a mere space storm do anything to that big black dog?" The Great Freedom Demon said slowly, "You should worry about yourself."

Zhang Chen thought about it and it made sense. The princess could break through the space barriers and forcibly open a passage in the space turbulence. Although the big black dog was not as good as the princess, it should not be afraid of the space storm.

"I wonder what kind of power the spiritual storm I have cultivated will have when it is unleashed." Zhang Chen secretly looked forward to it.

Then Zhang Chen began to practice with full concentration, absorbing all kinds of mysterious energy between heaven and earth.

As the mental storm approached again, Zhang Chen noticed the change in time: "This time the mental storm spread ten miles faster than before! At least fifty breaths faster."

"Of course. The mental storm will form a chain reaction, just like a house on fire. As the flames grow, they will only burn faster and faster, eventually engulfing the entire world." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was secretly shocked when he heard this. According to the Great Freedom Demon, the spiritual storm was spreading faster and faster, and he really didn't have much time left. Thinking of this, looking at the approaching spiritual storm, he didn't dare to delay, and stood up and ran ten miles away.
