Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 64 The impending spiritual energy tide and the battle with Retsu Unohana.
Su Mengyao eventually left, but unlike when she was excitedly showing off with the spatial ring at the beginning, she left with an expression of existential doubt on her face.

Even now, she still can't understand why Ye Xuan would give her a shock every time she came to his place.

Especially this time, she took out the spatial ring developed by the research institute, and Ye Xuan immediately showed her the spatial ring he had taken out from who-knows-where, a version of the treasures of the heavens.

If she hadn't known that Ye Xuan would never do such a thing, she would have thought that Ye Xuan was targeting her.

After Su Mengyao left, Ye Xuan continued his cultivation; he also materialized Xiao Yan and had him refine medicine.

At the same time, deep in the universe.

The void, silent for billions of years, suddenly rippled.

At first, it was just a tiny crack, like a scratch on glass, barely noticeable in the dark universe; but as time passed, the crack began to twist and expand, as if being torn apart by some invisible force, with dazzling light bursting from its edges.

"boom--"

The silent explosion reverberated in the vacuum. Although no air transmitted the sound waves, the tremors of space caused the nearby stardust to tremble. The crack completely collapsed, transforming into a huge wormhole with a diameter of over ten thousand meters.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted from it like a tidal wave, forming a magnificent vortex of spiritual energy in the universe.

And this is just the beginning.

The spiritual energy surging from the wormhole spread at a speed exceeding the speed of light, causing ripples in the space as it passed through. Under the impact of this energy, the nearby floating meteorites began to change.

On the hard rock surface, crystalline veins suddenly grow, pulsating slowly as if infused with life; the cold metallic minerals change, forming crystals that have never appeared before.
Several lifeless asteroids around them cracked open under the influence of spiritual energy, spewing out a life force that emitted a glowing green light.

As the spiritual energy spread, the spacetime structure around the wormhole began to become unstable, and one secondary wormhole after another bloomed in the void, transmitting spiritual energy to more distant star fields.

One of the streams of spiritual energy traveled tens of thousands of light-years and arrived at a desolate planet.

The dark red earth was cracked and parched, the atmosphere was filled with toxic gases, and the light of stars was obscured by thick dust clouds, with only faint light able to penetrate.

There was no water, no vegetation, and no sign of life.

"Zi-"

The boundless spiritual energy enveloped the entire planet like a celestial canopy. The originally turbid gas began to decompose, and the dust clouds in the high sky were moistened by the spiritual energy, gradually turning into spiritual mist containing energy, forming a protective layer of spiritual energy on the planet's surface.

The cracked soil suddenly became moist, and countless crystal-clear spiritual liquids seeped out from the cracks in the ground, converging into winding streams; wherever the streams flowed, the crimson earth began to fade, gradually revealing a fertile dark brown.

At the center of the planet, a crystal-clear seedling sprouts from the soil, its leaves as transparent as blue crystals, and its stem entwined with golden patterns.

It grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it grows into a towering tree. The moment its canopy unfolds, countless points of light scatter out and fall onto the surrounding land.

Wherever the light touched, more plants began to sprout, creating a vibrant scene.

A true spiritual revival is on the horizon.

Blue Star is merely a planet in the vast universe that has been occasionally touched by the tides of spiritual energy.

Even due to its remote location in the star system, it received the baptism of spiritual energy later than many other planets; while the civilizations on some other planets had already evolved under the nourishment of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of Blue Star may have only just begun to revive.

And this is precisely the most dangerous place.

Humanity believed that mutated beasts were the greatest threat, that awakened superhumans would overturn the order, and that the struggle for treasures from all heavens would determine the future; but the real crisis was not only on Earth, but also beyond the stars.

This is a selection process across the entire universe. Those civilizations that awaken first will inevitably turn their attention to other planets in the distant future; Earth is one of them. It's just unknown who will be the hunter and who will be the prey then.

After all, what Blue Star experienced was more than just the revival of spiritual energy.

On the Kunlun Mountains, in the snowy region.

The biting wind was shredded by the sword energy, and on the snow, two figures suddenly crossed paths.

"Keng!"

The moment the blades clashed, the snow within a radius of a hundred meters exploded with a deafening roar, revealing the dark permafrost beneath.

Unohana Retsu took a half step back, a sickly smile playing on her lips. Her fair cheeks flushed, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, the sharp pressure of this sword is truly delightful."

She spoke softly, her figure suddenly blurring. It wasn't a flash, but a pure killing technique; she lowered her body, the blade slashing upwards, aiming at Ye Xuan's throat!

Ye Xuan turned his head, the tip of the knife grazing his neck, drawing a string of blood beads. At the same time, his right hand held firm, thrusting straight at Mao Zhihua's heart!
"Pfft!"

The blade penetrated three inches into her flesh, but she managed to stop it with her ribs. Instead of retreating, Retsu Unohana advanced, letting the longsword pierce through her shoulder, while her Zanpakuto was already pressed against Ye Xuan's abdomen, piercing through it.

Ye Xuan's face showed little expression. The moment his abdomen was pierced, he grabbed the blade with his left hand, blood gushing from his palm. He used the force to spin around, throwing Unohana Retsu and her sword into the air. At the same time, he drew his sword with his right hand, a golden light surging forth.

Wang Quan's sword intent surged forth, and the Three Thousand Blazing Flames repaired his pierced body.

Golden sword intent roared out from the blade, slashing towards the enemy in the air. However, Unohana Retsu chuckled lightly the moment the sword intent reached her. She turned her blade slightly, and a surge of spiritual pressure erupted, transforming into a slash.

The moment the two collided, the golden sword intent pierced through it.

Crimson blood bloomed in the air, soaking Unohana Retsu's kimono and clinging to her curvaceous body; her eyes were hazy and feverish, oblivious to her injuries, completely absorbed in the moment.

"Come again, come again!"

"Show me your limits!"

She moved forward again, her blade flashing like a storm, seemingly severing everything in its path.

Ye Xuan drew his sword and charged forward, and the two clashed once more.

They didn't know how much time had passed before the two passed each other again.

Ye Xuan's sword pierced Unohana Retsu's lung; while her knife was pressed against Ye Xuan's heart.

Blood gushed from both of their mouths at the same time.

"pity."

Unohana Retsu sighed contentedly, her blood-stained lips almost touching Ye Xuan's ear.

"If this were my true form, I should already be here by now."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xuan canceled the power of the Rat Talisman, and Unohana Retsu's body returned to its figurine form, with the blood from before completely disappearing.
