Chapter 1884 - 1452: The Black Mist That Seals Everything! Preparing to Leave!

Two days later.

At an altitude of several thousand meters, thick black fog resembling liquid clouds slowly drifts.

Within the gaps of the black fog, streaks of light resembling golden arrows can be faintly seen projecting out, as a silhouette enveloped completely in Golden Light floats within the black mist.

The air here seems bizarrely fresh, contrary to how it should be thin at such altitude, which further indicates one thing—the Sky, though named Sky, is actually a deep abyss reaching deep underground. The higher you go, the closer you get to the ground, and not actually reaching outer space beyond the Mixed Martial Arts World.

"The resentment here is more intense, even condensing some Fallen Heaven and Earth Power, and even I feel a strong pressure. It’s not wise to linger... No wonder no one has ever left the Sky over the years..."

The figure floating in midair is naturally Jiang Dali.

At this time, he has changed into ancient clothing swiped from a hapless fellow, with Illusion Soul Power extended from the tail pillow acupoint behind him transforming into a pair of large golden wings comparable to his size, shining brilliantly and making his muscular body seem as though it is stacked with gold, exuding immense strength.

Ever since cultivating the War God Chronicles to the Shocking the Ancient and Modern level of the 10th realm, refining the Illusion Soul, although he cannot achieve long-distance flight, he can still rely on the Illusion Soul to manifest a pair of wings, maintaining short-distance flight or glide for a period in mid-air.

In essence, this is because the wings manifested from the Illusion Soul are derived from the War God Power cultivated from the War God Chronicles; without War God Power, manifestation cannot be achieved.

His current Inner Strength, while nearing three million, close to two hundred years of cultivation, nearly half of which comes from cultivating Divine Demon Golden Body and Absorption Skill, has been converted into pure War God Power, actually approaching two million in terms of War God Power.

This level of War God Power cannot be said to be weak, as it indeed converges Chuan Ying’s lifetime power.

However, such power in the adverse environment of the Sky can only manage to condense into an Illusion Soul comparable to his size without loss. If the size were any larger, the speed of power consumption would exponentially increase, and the pressure from the Sky’s resentment would escalate as well, making it cost-inefficient.

Thus, seeking to achieve long-distance flight relying on Illusion Soul Power at least within the Sky is hopeless.

Even short-distance flight sees swift energy loss, with full-speed flying providing sustenance for at most the duration of three incense sticks.

This level of consumption is better met with the sheer physical strength of his body.

With his body’s explosive force, his legs can unleash energy equivalent to ten kilograms of TNT, producing over forty million joules of energy, easily pushing his body, weighing roughly five hundred pounds in its normal state, several thousand meters into the air.

Having savored the scenery at high altitude, Jiang Dali’s gaze turns downwards, with a flash of Golden Light in his eyes, piercing through the dense black fog to faintly discern the contours of the mountains below.

Immediately, he retracts the buoyancy of his wings, his figure plunging freely downward.

Based on his estimation from extending his Primordial Spirit for one mile briefly for observation, approximately another two thousand meters upwards should reach the ground.

However, the further upwards, the denser the black fog formed by the gathering resentment of Heaven and Earth becomes, even polluting his Primordial Spirit, making him sever part of his Divine Fragment, while the uppermost several hundred meters near the ground presumably have the black fog solidify into an almost tangible dark swamp, or even solid darkness.

In such regions where the black fog grows thicker, Heaven and Earth resentment multiplies tenfold to a hundredfold, forming pure Fallen Heaven’s Will power that covers the Sky in all directions, constructing a completely sealed prison.

Under such terrifying circumstances, it’s no wonder that over a thousand years not a soul has escaped, not even Guang Chengzi.

After all, normal people of the Martial World, even those powerful like Ling Donglai at the half-step Breaking Realm, cannot fly, and at most, like him, can attain heights of several thousand meters using momentum from their attacks, which is something not possible for everyone since not everyone possesses his powerful Divine Weapon physique capable of withstanding immense impact and rapid movement.

And even upon reaching heights of several thousand meters, facing the increasingly potent and all-encompassing Fallen Heaven’s Will, it’s exceedingly challenging to engage in a battle against the vast Heaven and Earth Will simultaneously in mid-air and break through forcefully.

Thus, without reaching the Breaking Realm, being trapped within the Sky indeed places one in a dire situation.

There is only one place within the Sky considered a breakthrough point, potentially offering some hope of leaving the Sky.

That location is the exit of the Sky that Guang Chengzi has frequently ventured to over millennia—the End of the World!

The End of the World is likely the only known place apart from the Earth Crystal Core that allows access into and out of the Sky, a vast area of Sky not sealed by the Fallen Heaven’s Will, thereby making it both an exit and entrance.

And for thousands of years, the exit has been guarded by supreme experts dispatched by the Holy Dynasty.

In ancient times, the guarding of the Sky involved the united mission of the Six Top Families and Four Great Sects of the Holy Dynasty, but ever since the legendary Dugu Qiubai emerged, the guarding of the Sky became the most sensational deed he carried out within the Holy Dynasty.

...

Bang!—

With the cushioning deceleration of his Illusion Soul Wings, Jiang Dali lands upon a black tower-like Fallen Immortal Mountain, his eyes falling on Guang Chengzi and Zhu Wushi across him as they simultaneously set down their chess pieces.

Today marks the last day of his agreement with Guang Chengzi.

During the past two days, he and Zhu Wushi traversed various parts of the Sky, assisting Zhu Wushi in devouring the relatively pure Earth Intent scattered throughout the Sky.

This relatively pure Earth Intent, partially uncontrolled by the Four Great Families, is vast and exhibits astonishing power, distributed across the Sky, forming the primary force in the tug-of-war with Fallen Heaven’s Will, yet it is progressively infected by Fallen Heaven’s Will, nurturing Fallen Earth Intent.

The families do not want to exert control over this massive pure Earth Intent, but they are limited by the main brain’s function, which cannot control overly immense Earth Intent and easily suffers backlash leading to main brain collapse.

The main brain’s function being restricted by technology unable to advance, they reluctantly rely on elevating themselves and increasing control and connection through their strength, giving rise to the Family Heads controlling the Earth Crystal Core.

The Elder Council members capable of becoming Family Heads or candidates of the Four Great Families have emerged as elite talents from the Martial World over the years, possessing at least the strength of the Returning to Truth Realm.

The top players of the major families, such as Ting Shui, are considered future successors fostered by the families, awaiting elevation to the Elder Council through comprehensive selection and grooming after existing members die of old age or accidents, eventually becoming Family Head candidates.

The stronger the Family Heads controlling the Earth Crystal Core, the stronger their Primordial Spirit Power, better compensating for the main brain’s functional deficiencies by actively absorbing and controlling more Earth Will, deepening communication with Earth Intent until eventually devouring all Earth Intent, achieving total control.

Consequently, though the Four Great Families control more than one percent of the Earth Intent, they can only manipulate that portion they hold and indirectly influence the judgment of Earth Intent’s primary consciousness, yet they cannot command the primary consciousness itself, nor halt the Earth Intent’s biological instinct to devour Fallen Heaven’s Will, which, despite causing losses, also offers benefits.

Nonetheless, faced with Jiang Dali and Zhu Wushi’s actions over two days of devouring pure Earth Intent, the Family Heads of the Four Great Families harbor intense animosity.

Unable to quickly contend with the combined power of Jiang Dali and Zhu Wushi, they dare not risk awakening the primary consciousness of Earth Intent directly, worried their actions might trigger its awakening.

Fortunately, even devouring over two days, Zhu Wushi merely consumed about one-thousandth of the Earth Intent’s total, which didn’t alarm or awaken the deeply slumbering Earth Intent.

Now, as they’ve watched Jiang Dali and Zhu Wushi approach Guang Chengzi intending to exit the Sky, the Family Heads of the Four Great Families collectively breathe a sigh of relief, secretly planning to act against Zhu Wushi once Jiang Dali departs, ensuring he can never again consume Earth Intent even if not entirely destroyed...
