Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

Kong Xuan was sitting.

The Purple Bamboo Sea rustled and the water murmured.

Little White was lying at my feet, dozing off.

Mie Shi sat cross-legged under the bamboo, his breathing long and even.

Everything remains the same.

suddenly.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

A powerful threat surged from the depths of nothingness.

It's not about getting closer slowly.

It appeared suddenly.

It's like a knife held to your neck.

Kong Xuan froze.

He had never felt such a terrifying aura.

It's better than going against the grain.

Stronger than the Void Beast.

It's even stronger than the self deep in the vacuum.

Immediately afterwards, a gaze fell upon him.

From the highest point, from the farthest distance.

It penetrates the vacuum, it penetrates nothingness.

It fell on him.

It's like looking at an ant.

Kong Xuan's expression changed drastically.

He is already at the thirtieth level of the vacuum.

The three elements of emptiness, reality, and source are unified.

But in the face of that gaze, he felt like he was nothing.

Like an ant looking at the sky.

Like dust looking at stars.

His gaze lingered for three breaths.

Then it disappeared.

Kong Xuan gasped for breath, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Xiao Bai woke up with a start and looked up at him.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Kong Xuan did not answer.

He got up and walked out of the house.

Standing in the courtyard, I looked up at the sky.

The sky was purple, dotted with stars.

There was nothing there.

But he knew that gaze had passed over him.

Xiaobai followed him out and took his arm.

"Master, you look terrible."

Kong Xuan said, "Something is watching me."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "What is it?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "I don't know."

"Very strong."

"So powerful that I can't even imagine it."

Xiao Bai became nervous and looked around.

There was nothing there.

Mie Shi got up and walked to Kong Xuan's side.

"Master, I can feel it too."

"That gaze came from the deepest void."

Kong Xuan nodded.

The two looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

Kong Xuan turned around and flew towards the Hongmeng Palace.

Little White followed behind.

The destruction of the world followed closely behind.

Hongmeng Hall.

Hongmeng sat on the chair, closing his eyes to rest.

He opened his eyes when he saw Kong Xuan enter.

"You felt it too?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "That gaze."

Hongmeng stood up, his expression solemn.

"It's not just about the gaze."

"There's something else."

Kong Xuan asked, "What is it?"

Hongmeng said, "People from the void world."

Kong Xuan was taken aback: "A void world?"

He had never heard of it.

Hongmeng said, "I just found out too."

"The Heavenly Mystery Domain Master has deduced it."

"The void world exists above the vacuum."

Above all else.

"The people there never come down."

"Now, they're coming down."

Kong Xuan asked, "Why?"

Hongmeng shook his head: "I don't know."

"The Celestial Realm Lord is currently performing a divination."

"Let's go take a look."

The two flew out of the Hongmeng Palace and headed towards the Tianji Domain.

Little White followed behind.

The destruction of the world followed closely behind.

Celestial Realm, Spiral Mountain.

The palace atop the mountain.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain sat cross-legged in the hall, his face pale.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, as if he had suffered internal injuries.

Upon seeing Kong Xuan arrive, he opened his eyes.

"You've arrived."

Kong Xuan sat opposite him: "What have you deduced?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery took a deep breath.

"The void world exists above the vacuum."

"The people there call themselves the Nothingness Clan."

"They are neither born nor die, neither increase nor decrease."

"They never concern themselves with what happens below."

"Now, they're coming down."

Kong Xuan asked, "Why?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery said, "Because of you."

Kong Xuan was taken aback: "Me?"

The Celestial Domain Lord nodded: "You killed the Void Beast."

"Void Beasts are the pets of the Void race."

"You killed their pet, and they're coming to demand an explanation."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Void Beast.

He killed him.

To save the vacuum.

Now, karma has caught up with them.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain said, "They sent someone down."

"His cultivation level far surpasses yours."

"You can't beat him."

Kong Xuan asked, "How strong?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery extended three fingers.

"There are thirty layers of vacuum, and you are on the thirtieth layer."

He's on the 90th floor.

Kong Xuan's expression changed.

Ninety floors.

It is more than sixty stories high.

That's the difference between heaven and earth.

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain said, "He came not to kill you."

"I've come to take you to the void."

"Accept the trial."

Kong Xuan asked, "What if I don't go?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery said, "He will destroy this place."

"Destroyed Hongmeng, destroyed Chaos, destroyed everything."

"Until you come out."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Hongmeng stood to the side, his face ashen.

"Is there no other way?"

The Lord of Heavenly Mystery shook his head: "No."

"The Void Race is invincible."

"At least for now, we are invincible."

Kong Xuan stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.

Where did he go?

The Lord of the Heavenly Mystery Domain said, "In the first layer of vacuum."

"Wait for you."

Kong Xuan nodded and turned to walk out of the hall.

Little White caught up with him: "Master, are you going?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Go."

Xiao Bai asked, "Can I not go?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "I won't go, he'll ruin this place."

"This place is ruined, what will happen to Mother?"

"What are you going to do?"

Little White cried, "But if you go, can you ever come back?"

Kong Xuan did not answer.

He stepped out of the palace gate and took flight.

Little White followed behind.

The destruction of the world followed closely behind.

The three flew towards the first layer of vacuum.

Passing through the primordial chaos, passing through nothingness.

Entering a vacuum.

First floor.

The sky here is transparent, and so is the ground.

In the void, there stood a person.

He wore a white robe and had white hair; his face was handsome.

His eyes were like stars, and his aura was like an abyss.

His cultivation level is beyond my comprehension.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Kong Xuan.

"You're Kong Xuan?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Yes."

The man in white robes said, "My name is Xu Wuzi."

"From the void world."

"I've come to take you back."

Kong Xuan asked, "What are we going back for?"

Xu Wuzi said, "Accept judgment."

"You killed the Void Beast."

"That's our pet."

Kong Xuandao: "It devours the vacuum."

"If we don't kill it, the vacuum will be destroyed."

Xu Wuzi said calmly, "Whether the void is destroyed or not is none of your business."

Kong Xuandao said, "If the vacuum is destroyed, my world will also be destroyed."

Xu Wuzi said, "That's your business."

"You killed our pet, so you must face trial."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

He knew that saying anything would be useless.

These people are unreasonable.

Xu Wuzi asked, "Are you leaving or not?"

Kong Xuan asked, "What if we don't leave?"

Xu Wuzi raised his hand and waved it gently.

A beam of light flew out from the palm of his hand.

The roar echoed in the distance.

The vacuum shattered, and the earth collapsed.

The emptiness beneath is revealed.

Xu Wuzi said, "This attack only used one percent of its power."

"The next strike will be aimed at your world."

Kong Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

"I'll go with you."

Little White rushed over: "Master!"

Kong Xuan raised his hand and patted her head.

"Go back and wait for me."

Xiao Bai shook her head: "No, I'll go with you."

Kong Xuandao said, "You can't go."

"It's too dangerous there."

Little White cried, "But I don't want to leave my master."

Kong Xuan looked at her with tender eyes.

I will definitely do what I promised you.

"I will come back."

Xiao Bai looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

But she let go.

She knew she couldn't stop it.

Kong Xuan turned around and walked towards Xu Wuzi.

"Let's go."

Xu Wuzi nodded and raised his hand to create a crack.

Within the crack lies nothingness.

It is emptier than a vacuum.

There wasn't even light.

The two stepped inside.

The crack closed.

Xiao Bai stood still, gazing at the empty space.

Tears streamed down her face.

"Master, you must come back."

Annihilation stood behind her, silent.

A void world.

There's nothing here.

There was no sky, no earth.

There was neither light nor darkness.

It's empty.

Utter emptiness.

Xu Wuzi walked in front, and Kong Xuan followed behind.

We walked for a long time.

A palace appeared ahead.

The palace was not large, and it was completely transparent.

Like an ice sculpture, like crystal.

The palace gates were open.

Nine people were seated in the hall.

There were old and young, men and women.

Their cultivation levels are completely unfathomable.

Xu Wuzi said, "These nine are elders of the Void World."

"Your trial will be presided over by them."

Kong Xuan walked into the hall and stood in the center.

Nine pairs of eyes fell on him.

There was indifference, curiosity, and scrutiny.

The elderly man sitting in the center spoke up: "You are Kong Xuan?"

Kong Xuan nodded: "Yes."

The old man asked, "Why did you kill the Void Beast?"

Kong Xuandao: "It devours the vacuum."

"If the vacuum disappears, my world will also disappear."

The old man said, "That's your business."

"Void Beasts are our pets."

"You will be punished for killing it."

Kong Xuan asked, "What punishment?"

The old man said, "Stay in the void."

"Be our servants."

"For all eternity, you shall never leave."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

To be a servant.

Forever and ever.

That would be worse than death.

The old man asked, "Are you willing?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "I don't want to."

The old man's face darkened: "Then die."

He struck out with his palm.

The palm strike was silent and colorless.

But Kong Xuan sensed it.

That palm strike was enough to kill him.

Kong Xuan did not dodge.

There's no escaping it.

The gap is too big.

The palm strike landed squarely on his chest.

Kong Xuan was sent flying backward and crashed into the palace wall.

He coughed up blood and had three broken ribs.

He got up, swaying unsteadily.

The old man stopped and looked at him.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you willing?"

Kong Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I don't want to."

The old man raised his hand and struck again.

Kong Xuan flew backwards again.

This time, the fall was even harder.

His left arm was broken and hung down at his side.

He got up and stood up.

He was covered in blood, but his eyes were resolute.

"I don't want to."

The old man frowned.

The other eight people whispered among themselves.

"This kid's got some backbone."

"It would be a waste to kill him."

"It will come in handy."

The old man raised his hand to stop them.

Looking at Kong Xuan, his gaze was complicated.

Do you know the consequences of refusal?

Kong Xuandao: "I know."

"die."

The old man nodded: "So you're still going to refuse?"

Kong Xuandao said, "I would rather die than be a slave."

The old man remained silent.

After a long silence, he spoke: "Then I shall die."

He struck out with his palm.

This time, I used all my strength.

The palm strike was as powerful as a mountain, pressing down on Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes.

dying.

Little White, see you in the next life.

Mother, I'll drink your soup again in the next life.

suddenly.

A voice rang out.

"stop."

The palm strike stopped in front of Kong Xuan.

It missed him by an inch.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes.

A person stood at the entrance of the palace.

White robes, white hair, and an aged face.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, as if he could see through everything.

The nine elders' expressions changed drastically when they saw him.

They all stood up and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings to the Lord of Nothingness."

The man entered the hall and walked up to Kong Xuan.

She looked down at him.

"You're Kong Xuan?"

Kong Xuan nodded.

The Lord of Nothingness asked, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

Kong Xuan was taken aback.

The nine elders were also stunned.

The Lord of Nothingness is taking on disciples?

Endless years, never before.

The Lord of Nothingness said, "Your bones are hard, and your heart is hard too."

"He has backbone and a sense of responsibility."

"Such a person is worthy to be my disciple."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

To become a disciple of the Lord of Nothingness?

Then you won't have to die.

They don't have to be servants.

But should he stay here?

Xiao Bai is still waiting for him.

The Lord of Nothingness saw through his thoughts.

"Once you become my disciple, you are free to come and go as you please."

"The void world, the primordial world, go wherever you please."

Kong Xuan asked, "Is it true?"

The Lord of Nothingness nodded: "Indeed."

Kong Xuan knelt down: "Master."

The Lord of Nothingness laughed.

Her smile was faint, yet genuine.

He helped Kong Xuan up and took something out of his sleeve.

A bead, transparent.

There is a light inside, very bright and pure.

"The Pearl of Nothingness, the origin of the void world."

"Obtaining it allows one to prove the state of nothingness."

Kong Xuan accepted the Void Pearl.

The beads felt cool to the touch, like water.

Within the transparent bead, the light was very bright and pure.

Like eyes, watching him.

Kong Xuan kowtowed: "Thank you, Master."

The Lord of Nothingness nodded: "Go."

"Once you refine it, you will reach the realm of nothingness."

Kong Xuan rose and left the hall.

Xu Wuzi followed behind and walked out of the palace.

The two walked in nothingness, with nothing around them.

It's empty.

Xu Wuzi spoke up: "Congratulations."

Kong Xuan nodded: "Thank you."

The Void Child said, "The Lord of Nothingness never accepts disciples."

"You're the first one."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

Xu Wuzi asked, "Do you know why?"

Kong Xuan shook his head: "I don't know."

Xu Wuzi said, "Because you are special."

"I don't know what's so special about it."

"But the Lord of Nothingness knows."

Kong Xuan remained silent.

special?

What's so special about him?

From the beginning of time to chaos, from chaos to primordial chaos.

From the primordial chaos to the boundless void, from the boundless void to the vacuum.

Wherever he goes, he attracts attention.

The Reversal Path, the Void Beast, the Lord of Nothingness.

One by one.

A sense of unease welled up in Kong Xuan's heart.

Xu Wuzi escorted him to the front of a house.

The courtyard is small and completely transparent.

Like a crystal carving.

There are no doors, no walls.

It's empty.

Xu Wuzi said, "This is your residence."

"Refining the Void Pearl will take time."

"No rush, take your time."

Kong Xuan nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Xu Wuzi turned and left.

Kong Xuan sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed.

The Void Bead slowly rotated in his palm.

It's icy cold, very cold.

It's like holding a piece of ice that's been frozen for millennia.

He activated his cultivation, preparing to refine it.

suddenly.

A flutter of excitement crossed my heart.

It's very faint, yet very clear.

Like needle pricks, like knife cuts.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and looked down at the Void Pearl in his palm.

The bead remained transparent, and the light remained bright.

But his unease grew stronger.

This bead is a threat.

It poses a great threat to him.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and focused his mind on his body.

Emptiness, substance, and source—these three forces circulate within the body.

His cultivation at the thirtieth level of the vacuum realm was as stable as a mountain.

The aura of the Void Pearl felt unfamiliar to him.

Not unfamiliar.

It is dangerous.

Like a venomous snake, hiding in the grass.

You can't see it, but you know it's there.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes and stared at the Void Pearl.

Thinking back to what happened before.

The Lord of Nothingness took him as his disciple.

too suddenly.

A person who has lived for countless years never takes on apprentices.

Why did you choose him?

Because his bones are hard?

Because he has backbone?

wrong.

In a void, there are many people with strong backbone.

There are more people with backbone now.

Why him?

A thought suddenly occurred to Kong Xuan.

The Lord of Nothingness is using him.

He possesses something that the Lord of Nothingness covets.

That's why he took on disciples and gave them the Void Pearl.

The beads are not a gift.

It's a trap.
