After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Zhou Ran's divine sense was suspended in the chaos.

There is no ground beneath my feet, and no sky above my head.

Everywhere you look, there are only gray, charred remains.

The large fragments were comparable to the entire planet Earth, while the smaller pieces were only the size of a fist, floating quietly in the void without even a breeze.

He recognized a piece of floating continental debris.

The surface still bears the unique spiritual vein patterns of the cultivation world, but the spiritual energy has long been drained, leaving only cracked earth crust and withered ancient spiritual trees.

Not far away floated a half-metal spaceship with alien script printed on its hull that he couldn't understand.

The ship had a large hole in it, and not even a complete skeleton could be found inside.

Further away, a golden skeleton larger than the sun lay across the chaos.

The divine might still lingered in the cracks of his bones. Even though he had been dead for countless millennia, the pressure of that top-tier expert still made Zhou Ran's divine sense ache.

Zhou Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

These are not illusions.

it is true.

The Void Realm is not some kind of dimensional rift; it is a monster that devours worlds.

It devoured one plane after another, whether it was a civilization of cultivation, a technological civilization, or other strange civilizations, and in the end, they all turned into these floating garbage.

The cracks in Laoshan and the gelatinous substance in Longhushan are merely its tentacles reaching into the blue planet.

Once it swallows the entire planet, everyone will become part of these remnants, leaving no trace of their existence.

Zhou Ran's divine sense trembled, and the barrier in his mind concerning "nothingness" suddenly cracked open.

He previously thought that "emptiness" meant non-existence, or the erasure of rules.

Now he understands.

The essence of the void is "devouring definitions".

It devours a world, swallowing all its rules and meanings, ultimately turning everything into its own.

What about the reverse?

If he can incorporate the abstract rules into his own dantian, can he then define the rules himself?

Bai Xuan said that his Heavenly Gift Pill Embryo needs seven kinds of primordial elements of heaven and earth to form a pill. He previously thought that he could only find rare and precious materials on Blue Star, but now he suddenly realized that.

The void realm is filled with the essence of so many swallowed worlds; if you just pick out a piece, wouldn't it be a top-tier material for forming a core?

Even the rules of the virtual realm itself can be incorporated and used as the origin.

Previously, Xu Yun said that the path to Core Formation was a dead end, but now the path leads directly to the entrance of the Void Realm.

Zhou Ran felt a surge of excitement, and his divine sense couldn't help but drift forward, wanting to touch the divine power remaining on the golden skeleton.

Just then.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the depths of the gray sky.

The light was neither gold nor white, but an indescribable cold color. At first, it was only the size of a pinhead, but in an instant, it covered everything.

The chaos of the entire virtual world seemed to have frozen.

Those wreckages that had been floating for countless millennia vanished in an instant.

Return to nothingness.

There is no trace of its existence.

Zhou Ran's divine sense was frozen in ice, unable to move at all.

This is exactly the same situation as in Laoshan.

However, at that time, Ye Futian came to his rescue.

Now, we can only rely on ourselves!

He watched as the light slowly spread, eventually transforming into a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes devoid of any emotion, as empty as the entire universe.

Those eyes had no pupils, only a bottomless gray.

His gaze fell upon Zhou Ran's divine consciousness, which was so insignificant it was less than a speck of dust.

This is the Moon Emperor.

Himezuki.

That is the ruler of the void realm who controls the rules of erasure and has devoured countless planes.

She's here.

The phantom of the woman in white slowly emerged from the sky.

Her clothes seemed to be woven from light from chaos, without any wrinkles or decorations.

His face was expressionless, his skin was so white it was almost translucent, and even a single strand of his hair seemed to embody the essence of order.

She hovered in the sky, her figure so large that it spanned most of the void realm. With a flick of her finger, she could crush Zhou Ran's tiny divine thought.

Zhou Ran's divine sense was on the verge of collapse.

That oppressive aura wasn't directed at him.

The aura that Ji Yue naturally exuded was enough to cause countless cracks to appear on the surface of his divine sense.

As long as Ji Yue has a single thought, his soul and body will instantly become part of the void, leaving not even ashes behind.

Ji Yue's lips moved slightly.

No sound came out, only a grand idea, as if the entire universe was resonating with it, crashed directly into Zhou Ran's sea of ​​consciousness.

"You."

There is only one word.

Zhou Ran's mind went blank.

He realized it instantly.

Ji Yue recognized him.

She recognized the aura of the Demon Emperor left on him by the remnant soul of Ye Futian.

After all, the owner of this aura was a top-tier expert who had dealt with Ji Yue back then.

Ji Yue was simply curious as to why a mere mortal from Earth could possess the aura of an old friend.

Zhou Ran gritted her teeth.

This opportunity only lasts for a moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly detonated the demonic energy that had been left on the surface of his divine sense.

That was the energy within Ye Futian's remnant soul, originally intended as a backup plan during the battle of the Yangtze River, but now it was all detonated.

"boom!"

A small burst of magical light exploded in the chaos of the void.

The chaos of rules caused by the explosion of the Demon Emperor's pure demonic energy interfered with Ji Yue's perception.

Zhou Ran's divine sense used the impact to close his eyes.

Enter 'emptiness'.

He opened his eyes.

All around were still a group of old Taoist priests.

However, he could sense that Ji Yue's gaze lingered behind him for a moment.

But she didn't chase after him.

Just like a person wouldn't chase an ant that crawls past their feet.

Just as Zhou Ran's divine sense dissipated, Ji Yue's fingertip twitched.

A gray mark, imperceptible to anyone, silently settled deep within Zhou Ran's divine sense.

Zhou Ran was completely unaware.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: run.

If we don't run now, we're doomed.

Just then, the Void Crystal in Zhou Ran's hand disappeared, and he could no longer sense it at all.

Zhou Ran suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His spiritual energy was so severely depleted that he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

Just then, chaotic footsteps came from outside the door, along with Zhang Yunqing's shrill scream.

Zhou Ran!

The evil energy you attracted has breached the mountain's protective array!

"Form the Demon-Subduing Formation!"

This evil spirit must be killed on the spot today to uphold the reputation of the righteous sect!

Immediately following was the crisp sound of a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath.

Zhou Ran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a cold laugh.

At this moment, when he looked at Zhang Yunqing again, it was as if Ji Yue was looking at him.

Ants.

Zhou Ran slowly stood up, looking at Zhang Yunqing who pushed the door open and entered, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a dead object.

"I withstood the Moon Emperor's gaze."

"And what are you people?"
