Chapter 1 The Last Second

In the last second before the spatial channel closed, Qiao Yu shouted his heartfelt greeting to Hermes.

Through the closing crack of the channel, he clearly saw a look of astonishment flash across Hermes' face.

That felt good!

That was Qiao Yu's only thought right now.

It felt so good.

If he couldn't beat Hermes, couldn't he at least enjoy a bit of verbal satisfaction?

The instant the spatial channel closed, the vision before Qiao Yu's eyes abruptly went black, and then his body experienced a feeling of weightlessness.

Qiao Yu then activated his Ghost Pupils, and the blue-golden pupils emitted a faint glow in the darkness.

Appearing before his eyes was a twisted spatial channel. The space here was distorted, with pale silver lightning flashing from time to time. That lightning made Qiao Yu's heart tremble.

He had a premonition that even with his perfected Underworld Rakshasa Body, it wouldn't feel good at all to endure that lightning.

And it was completely silent here. The surroundings were completely still, without a trace of life.

"What exactly is this place?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qiao Yu would have found it hard to imagine that such a place existed in the world.

"If I'm not mistaken... this should be an extra-dimensional space," the Black Phoenix in the undead space said.

"Extra-dimensional space? Xiao Hei, do you know what this place is?"

Qiao Yu directly summoned the Black Phoenix and then rode on its back.

"Don't! Quickly send me back! Only gods can pass through extra-dimensional spaces, I'll die!!"

The Black Phoenix cried out in horror. Then Qiao Yu saw the Black Phoenix begin to disintegrate bit by bit, just like Xing Yuanhao just now.

Startled, Qiao Yu quickly returned the Black Phoenix to the undead space.

"What's going on? If only gods can pass through, why am I okay?" Qiao Yu was a little puzzled.

"I don't know! That person must have done something to you,"

The Black Phoenix was still a little shaken. If Qiao Yu had acted a second or two later, she would have really been completely disintegrated by the extra-dimensional space.

"Huang Huang, are you okay?" The Nine-Tailed Black Flame Fox hurriedly came over with a look of heartache.

However, the next moment, a loud phoenix wing slapped him in the face, sending him flying.

"Don't bother me!"

Ignoring the commotion in the undead space, Qiao Yu focused his attention on the spatial channel in front of him.

It seemed that now, he really could only go through this place first and then make plans.

Qiao Yu didn't try to rush. Instead, he circulated his power and slowly moved towards the twisted spatial channel ahead.

In the silent and dark extra-dimensional space, a figure moved forward silently, like a lonely traveler in the starry sky.

However, no matter how he moved forward, the surrounding scenery didn't change at all. Everything was the same dead darkness and flashing silver light.

If one's willpower wasn't strong enough, staying in this kind of environment for a long time would probably turn them into a madman.

Even Qiao Yu couldn't help but frown. This spatial channel seemed to be endless. He couldn't even remember how long he had been moving forward.

"Am I going to be trapped here to death?"

Qiao Yu began to wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction.

Because no matter which direction he looked, the scenes he saw were almost the same.

This damn place didn't even have any landmark to help him determine the direction.

Just as Qiao Yu was complaining that there was nothing to identify the direction in the extra-dimensional space, a large mass of pale silver unidentified object flew towards Qiao Yu.

"What is this thing?" Qiao Yu frowned in confusion.

Then, when the unidentified object got closer, Qiao Yu realized that this thing was especially big! It smashed towards him like a building.

"Run! It's an extra-dimensional storm!" The Black Phoenix's urgent voice sounded in the undead space.

"What is an extra-dimensional storm? Is it very terrifying?" Qiao Yu scratched his head.

"..." The Black Phoenix was silent for a moment before saying, "Even a god would lose a layer of skin if they encountered an extra-dimensional storm."

As a divine beast in her previous life, although the Black Phoenix's strength was not great, her knowledge was still there.

She had naturally heard of such terrifying things as extra-dimensional storms. It was said that a long, long time ago, a super strong member of their phoenix clan was trapped and killed in an extra-dimensional storm.

Qiao Yu's heart tightened instantly when he heard this.

So, after waiting for so long, a big guy had finally arrived!

He quickly turned around and fled, rushing in the opposite direction of the extra-dimensional storm. However, the speed of the extra-dimensional storm was unbelievably fast.

Even with the 100% agility buff from the Zhulong Crescent Blade, Qiao Yu's agility had already exceeded 20,000, but he was still brushed by the edge of the extra-dimensional storm.

And this was the first time Qiao Yu had heard a sound in the extra-dimensional space.

It was a crackling sound of electricity. Pale silver arcs of lightning danced in the storm like a pile of happy little elves.

In an instant, a terrifying force began to tear at Qiao Yu's body!

"Damn it, that old Hermes didn't remove the restriction on my Undying Body!"

The sharp pain on his body instantly made Qiao Yu react. The tearing sensation from the extra-dimensional storm felt like it was going to tear him to pieces. Countless bloodstains instantly appeared on his body.

At this moment, Qiao Yu looked like a bottle full of cracks, as if he would shatter at any moment. His whole body was charred black by the terrifying lightning.

And this was only from being brushed by the edge of the extra-dimensional storm!

Looking at the extra-dimensional storm that was close at hand, Qiao Yu's scalp went numb.

If he was brushed by this extra-dimensional storm a couple more times, even if it was just a brush and he didn't get sucked in, Qiao Yu would definitely die!

What frightened him even more was that the extra-dimensional storm behind him was now emitting an extremely powerful suction force, as if it wanted to suck Qiao Yu in.

Qiao Yu couldn't care about so much at this time. He took out the Yellow Springs Scepter, summoned two little skeletons, and then used the two little skeletons as stepping stones to stomp hard, rushing in the opposite direction.

The two little skeletons were directly crushed by the storm before they could be disintegrated by the extra-dimensional space.

Then Qiao Yu summoned another little skeleton at the maximum distance.

"Undead Displacement!"

Qiao Yu and the little skeleton instantly swapped positions, and the little skeleton was also decomposed into fragments in the extra-dimensional space.

Then Qiao Yu ran for his life. At this time, he couldn't care about the direction. Saving his life was the most important thing.

He fled, the storm chased, he had no way to escape.

First Universe, Thunder Era, Yuanze Star, Crimson Leaf Kingdom, Borderlands.

The gale howled, blowing out a sense of desolation, and even the air revealed a bloody smell.

A full twenty Emperor-realm powerhouses guarded a carriage, and pulling the carriage was a divine beast that resembled a Qilin.

Each of these twenty Emperor-realm powerhouses was on high alert, as if guarding against something.

"Remember! You must not be careless. If anything happens to the princess, everyone can prepare for a nine-generation extermination!" the leading Emperor-realm powerhouse said in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade light suddenly descended from the sky.

The divine beast pulling the carriage instantly bled and was split into two piles of rotten meat.

"The people from the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion have caught up, quick! Quickly protect the princess!"

The leading Emperor-realm powerhouse screamed at the top of his lungs, but the next moment, a bloody mark appeared on his throat.

"With you people, you also want to stop me?"

A cold voice sounded, and then a man carrying a long knife appeared out of thin air in front of the carriage.

"Crimson Leaf Princess, come out obediently. Someone paid eight hundred taels of gold to take your dog's life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a slender jade hand, and then a graceful and luxurious girl walked out.

She had an oval face, slender eyebrows, and skin as white as snow. There was a small dimple on her oval face.

This person was the princess of the Crimson Leaf Kingdom, Mu Wan'er.

"Your Highness, why did you come out? Hide quickly. Even if we risk our lives, we will definitely stop this guy!" An Emperor-realm guard hurriedly dissuaded her.

"You can't stop him. He is the seventeenth-ranked Saint-realm assassin in the Heavenly Fiend Pavilion, Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade." Mu Wan'er slightly parted her cherry lips, her voice as pleasant as a clear spring.

"Oh? As expected of the Crimson Leaf Princess, you have good eyes." Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade carried his knife on his shoulder, looking proud. "But... you still have to die!"

A murderous intent burst out in Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade's eyes.

Then he transformed into a ghost, instantly killing all the other dozen Emperor-realm experts with a single strike to the throat, clean and efficient.

Just as he wanted to do the same and solve Mu Wan'er with a single strike to the throat, Mu Wan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp dagger suddenly stabbed towards Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade's neck.

Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade felt an unspeakable sense of danger. Then, relying on instinct, he lifted his long knife upwards.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out. Mu Wan'er's hidden dagger was ineffective, only leaving a shallow bloodstain on Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade's neck.

"Saint-realm first layer? I didn't expect it! The outside world says that the Crimson Leaf Princess has no cultivation, but I didn't expect the Crimson Leaf Princess to already be at the Saint-realm first layer. I almost capsized in the gutter!"

A cold light flashed in Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade's eyes, and there was also a lingering look of fear.

"I originally wanted to kill you directly, but now I've changed my mind! I'm going to sever your tendons and then play with you! I've played with all kinds of women, but I've never played with a princess!"

Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade's lewd eyes scanned Mu Wan'er's beautiful body.

Mu Wan'er's face was ashen. Her sneak attack had been ineffective, and she was no match for Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade in a head-on fight.

Today, she was doomed to suffer a disaster. But even if she died, she would not be defiled by someone like Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade!

Mu Wan'er already had a death wish in her eyes. She wanted to commit suicide before Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade touched her!

Just then, an unexpected event occurred!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky. Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade and Mu Wan'er raised their heads in unison, and then they saw a scene they would never forget!

A terrifying hole had exploded in the sky!

A terrifying pale silver light rushed out from the hole. That silver light gave people the feeling that even gods could be killed.

Silver snakes danced wildly, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Then, a charred black corpse fell right in the middle of Mu Wan'er and Heavenly Nether Ghost Blade!
