Inside the Gravity Bead's internal space.
Chen Fan had arrived here once again.
The ninth-tier Great World had now become his personal backyard.
He could enter it whenever he wished.
Last time, he had indeed asked if others could sense his aura.
The answer was no.
Once he retreated into the internal space of the Gravity Bead, all traces of his presence left in the world would vanish.
As for the first time he entered, the reason he was able to be detected was purely due to the residual energy from his cultivation at the time.
In moments of crisis, he could fully retreat into it.
And then, disappear forever.
With a ninth-tier Great World as his internal space, even an eighth-tier might not be able to find him.
...
Boom.
The physical body of the Demonic Sword Great Emperor appeared directly.
"Suck."
At this moment, Chen Fan needed to recover as quickly as possible.
His injuries were too severe, and his Dao injuries were even worse.
He couldn't delay, or it would leave lingering issues.
"Buzz."
The energy within the body of a seventh-tier Great Emperor was being frantically extracted.
The pure energy didn't need further refinement.
Refinement required the Great Dao Universe and was a bit of a waste of time.
Therefore, plundering was the best way to grow stronger.
In the chaos, cultivating in a formal manner would lead to extremely slow progress.
As a result, methods like plundering and robbing emerged as simpler ways to advance.
Simple, brutal, and fast.
Rumble.
A large amount of energy was extracted and continuously integrated into his body.
Unfortunately, Chen Fan did not notice that wisps of energy were constantly escaping from the Demonic Sword's body, seeping into the empty ninth-tier Great World.
And then, they rapidly disappeared.
The Great World, empty for countless years, had not a trace of energy.
Now, energy finally appeared.
However, fortunately, the energy loss was not significant, and Chen Fan did not notice it.
...
Boom.
Within his body, the Great Dao roared.
The wounds on his Great Dao were continuously being repaired.
"Alas."
Chen Fan sighed softly, "It's too tragic."
What was tragic?
Naturally, it was the Dao injuries.
Life, death, dark water... all six Great Daos were covered in dense, dense wounds.
They were on the verge of collapse.
"Fortunately, that fellow Panshi is a coward," Chen Fan felt lucky.
He hadn't expected his Great Dao to be injured to this extent.
If he had fought that day, his Great Dao might have collapsed.
He was very fortunate.
And he was also fortunate to have snatched back the Demonic Sword's physical body.
In just this short while, only about half of the injuries on the six Great Daos had been repaired. As for the Dao injuries, they had only just been suppressed, with only about twenty to thirty percent repaired.
"Huh, something's wrong..."
Chen Fan, with his keen senses, suddenly felt that something was amiss.
The energy was dissipating too quickly.
"How could this be?"
Swish.
He instantly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell upon the Demonic Sword's physical body.
Energy, like threads, was seeping out through the Demonic Sword's pores.
If it was only a faint trace at the beginning, it was now a blatant, unreserved theft.
Chen Fan's face turned green, and he quickly put away the Demonic Sword Great Emperor's physical body.
If this continued, it would be empty.
"What's going on?"
Chen Fan muttered to himself.
His divine sense spread out like a net, trying to investigate the reason for the energy dissipation.
"Huh?"
Upon this investigation, he did indeed discover something different.
This ninth-tier Great World seemed to have become much more vibrant.
It had been in a state of deathly stillness before, but now, there was a hint of vitality.
"Is it because of the energy?" he pondered.
There was no answer.
Was this world truly alive?
After pondering for a long time, Chen Fan decided to test it.
If this Great World was truly alive, then... it might be of greater help to him.
With this thought, Chen Fan immediately walked out of the gravity space.
In Sword City, Chen Fan emerged.
"City Lord."
Within Sword City, the guarding Emperor Venerables stepped forward.
"It's nothing, don't mind me," Chen Fan waved his hand.
Indicating that they should continue their cultivation.
And his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
He was still injured, but it was no longer a hindrance.
Chii.
He exited the realm gate.
Outside, Emperor Venerables were also stationed outside the Life and Death Realm as sentries.
The two Dao Masters could sense danger, but if a powerful being excelled at concealment, they might still approach silently.
This would be dangerous.
Therefore, it was necessary to have some visible sentries, which could offer some assistance.
At the very least, it would provide peace of mind.
"City Lord."
The guarding Emperor Venerables stepped forward.
"Lu Qi?"
A female Emperor Venerable, a first-tier, Chen Fan recognized her.
This female Emperor Venerable had comprehended the Guihua Great Dao, and she had made great contributions during the raid on the Shenxiao Domain that day.
Lu Qi smiled, "The City Lord still remembers his subordinate."
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded, "Is it your shift?"
"Yes."
After a brief chat, Chen Fan left the Life and Death Realm.
In the chaotic expanse ahead, he intended to conduct an experiment in the chaos.
Some secrets are best known by as few people as possible.
Lu Qi watched the City Lord's receding back with a look of reverence in her eyes. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Alright, stop looking."
There were two guarding Emperor Venerables. The male Emperor Venerable stepped forward and said with a smile, "Countless people admire the City Lord. Such a person is destined to illuminate the chaos, and you cannot bind him..."
The implication was clear.
Admiration was fine, worship was fine, but don't harbor any delusions about having anything with the City Lord.
A prodigy like the City Lord, no one could bind him.
"Hmph."
Lu Qi gave the other person a disdainful look.
She deigned not to reply, and directly returned to sit above the Life and Death Realm.
"Heh heh."
The male Emperor Venerable was not angered.
As fellow Dao companions, what was wrong with a few jokes?
...
In the chaos, Chen Fan stopped.
The Gravity Bead appeared in his hand, and he injected energy into it.
"Buzz."
The Gravity Bead trembled slightly.
The gravity domain instantly emerged.
Chen Fan began to inject a large amount of energy, but no matter how much he injected, the Gravity Bead acted like a bottomless pit, swallowing all the energy.
Rumble.
The gravity domain began to expand frantically.
"It still hasn't appeared?" Chen Fan was surprised.
He had already injected all the energy within him into the Gravity Bead.
Yet, only the gravity domain had appeared; the world... still had not.
"Did I do it the wrong way?" Chen Fan pondered.
It made sense. If the world space of the Gravity Bead could only be opened by simply providing energy, then the Angel Holy Emperor of that year wouldn't have been killed so easily.
"What should I do?"
As he pondered, the energy slowly flowed back.
The energy was only injected into the Gravity Bead, not consumed; it could be recovered.
"Dao principles."
He decided to change direction.
As he thought, so he did. The Life and Death Great Dao began to be injected into the Gravity Bead.
Unfortunately, it was still useless.
Looking at the Gravity Bead in his hand, he pondered for a long time.
There was no solution.
"Right..."
Suddenly, Chen Fan's eyes flashed.
Buzz.
The Emperor Tablet appeared in his hand.
To be precise, this was the realm gate of the ninth-tier Great World.
"Shatter."
Chen Fan, at this moment, did not hesitate to shatter the Emperor Tablet.
It was very sturdy, but not indestructible.
The Yin-Yang Great Dao, with a 'boom,' directly shattered the Emperor Tablet.
In an instant, a dense gravitational force spread out.
