Chapter 1003: Chapter 769: Entry, White Snake, Weakening

This pressure is indeed very strong, so strong that it is irresistible. Even though both Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu are cultivators of the Selfless Realm, they feel an almost insurmountable sense of resistance.

However, beneath this immense pressure, neither Emperor Xuanwu nor Qin An felt any sense of danger, as if this pressure was not meant to kill them, but had other intentions.

Qin An looked at Emperor Xuanwu and said, "Let’s not make any moves for now, let’s see what it actually intends to do."

Afterward, the two made up their minds and did not move.

As time went by, the pressure gradually increased, and Qin An noticed the scenery around him was changing in waves.

The sensation of this change was very mysterious, as if the scenery before him suddenly became fake, yet everything amidst this falseness was slowly evolving into reality.

Qin An glanced at Emperor Xuanwu and noticed that Emperor Xuanwu’s expression was identical to his own — both astonished and incredulous.

Clearly, Emperor Xuanwu felt the same sensation as Qin An.

The two did not say much more and continued to experience.

And when the power that was both illusory and real gradually dissipated, they found that their surroundings had changed. They were no longer in the fragmented world of the Heavenly Demon but had arrived in a dense forest.

This forest looked incredibly lush, filled with vitality.

However, the moment Qin An entered this forest, he immediately sensed something unusual.

He abruptly turned his head to look at Emperor Xuanwu and said, "Your Majesty, have you felt it? It seems like something is gradually invading our consciousness, but it is not trying to obliterate our consciousness. It feels more like it’s making our frequencies resonate with this world."

This feeling is very strange and cannot be clearly described in words, akin to wanting them to become a part of this world.

Yet, what will happen after becoming a part of this world, no one knows.

Fortunately, this change is very subtle. At the current pace, it will take a long time to fully synchronize with the world’s frequency.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded upon hearing this, saying, "I also feel it, it’s very peculiar, and I feel as though it was always meant to be this way, as though I should have always been in tune with this world."

As he spoke, a hint of fear appeared on Emperor Xuanwu’s face.

After reaching his level, it is difficult for him to show such emotion. However, Qin An feels that his current emotion is quite normal.

Because even Qin An himself cannot resist that gradually assimilating power.

It seems like water flowing quietly, yet as indestructible as stone.

"Let’s have a look around, to see what’s different here," Qin An said.

Those Heavenly Demons who have not reached the No-Self Realm can only sense the mysterious and terrifying world, while the Heavenly Demons like the Ancestral Mechanical Emperor who have reached the No-Self Realm might have tried this before and entered this place.

But exactly what is going on, Qin An doesn’t know, and neither does Emperor Xuanwu.

There’s no clue here, yet clues abound, and to find these clues, they need to explore what’s peculiar within.

The two no longer speak much and start searching in the forest.

They move forward in one direction. Even if there’s no path ahead, they don’t turn.

Passing an obstacle, Emperor Xuanwu doesn’t wait for Qin An to make a move, instead, he raises his hand and strikes out with a Void Essence.

However, when this Void Essence lands on the giant rock before them, it only bounces up a small pit.

Emperor Xuanwu is completely stunned, as if seeing something terrifying never seen before, staring at the stone in front.

"Impossible, my full strength strike is enough to destroy half of the Daqian Kingdom, why did this happen?"

After reaching the No-Self Realm, both strength and destructive power have significantly increased. It’s an exaggeration to say, with Emperor Xuanwu’s strength, if there’s no other cultivator of the No-Self Realm to balance him, it wouldn’t take much time to destroy the entire world.

However, Emperor Xuanwu’s strike just now only managed to gouge a small pit.

Even a casual strike, which is enough to destroy a city, barely causes a ripple when hitting this giant rock.

This scene is truly too curious.

Qin An furrowed his brow, mimicked Emperor Xuanwu’s action and swung his blade at the rock.

He directly used the Secret Technique Three Blades Unite, with power terrifying to the extreme.

But when the blade landed on the rock, the damage caused also only slightly deeper than Emperor Xuanwu’s pit.

Qin An sheathed his blade and stood, then looked at the trees beside, raised his hand, and slashed.

After this slash, the trees were only slightly cut, not severed at the root.

He tried slashing the ground, and the same scene from before reappeared.

After this, Qin An furrowed his brow even deeper.

"Your Majesty, everything in this world is harder than in our world, in other words, perhaps we are weaker relative to this world."

Upon this speculation rising, Emperor Xuanwu furrowed his brow as well.

He feels Qin An’s perspective might be correct. Either this world is stronger or they are weaker — only these two possibilities, no other results can be thought of.
