Chapter 1354: The Long, Lonesome Days
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
The void was hazy with countless pieces of rocks and broken stars. Dangers hid everywhere and generated from time to time.
The land here was endless and ever desolate. It was like a world that had been abandoned for billions of years. There was no aura or any streak of living beings.
Shi Yan and Audrey were sitting on a rhombus piece of a broken lunar star. They looked at the endless void, their faces low-spirited.
Shi Yan had refined this broken lunar star to make it a temporary battleship. Using his God power, it moved fast like a meteor shooting across the Sea Domain of Nihility.
With the current speed of this lunar star, it could travel through a star area that was more than one billion miles in a day. However, they didnât know how long they had been riding on this piece of rock. They got no harvest along the way, anyway.
They had encountered nothing precious or any creature. It seemed like only the two of them existed in this immensely vast and borderless Sea Domain of Nihility.
The lonely, isolated feelings gradually churned in their hearts. They thought that they would never see hope or the other end of this place.
In the beginning, the two still talked and encouraged each other every day. Then, they reduced the talking as they saw the dispirited gleam in each otherâs eyes.
This place had thin earth and heaven energy that they could use to cultivate. However, it was weak, so it was really difficult to use the energy here to advance their cultivation further.
One day, Audreyâs cold eyes slightly brightened. She still wore a green dress and her beautiful face didnât have a speck of dust. A faint halo protected her sexy body. âHow long has it been?â
She mumbled as if she was talking to herself.
Shi Yan opened his closed eyes as he heard her, his face bitter and astringent. âThereâs no sun, moon, or stars. We donât have the concept of time here. I donât know how long it has been. But I think it should have been more than a while. Before we got here, my Third Sky of Incipient God Realm hasnât steadied but now, Iâm good.â
âI wonder what is going on in our world. Had Hui destroyed our world? I donât know where my mother teleported to. If she was here, why havenât we met yetâŠâ
Audrey hadnât talked to Shi Yan for a while. And now, when she began talking, it seemed like she couldnât stop. âSigh, if Iâd known we would be delivered here, e staying back there wouldnât have been a bad choice maybe.â
Shi Yan was surprised. âIf you stayed there, perhaps you wouldnât be killed, but your soul would have a Soul Seal that doesnât belong to you. You want to be⊠its puppet?â
Audrey was low-spirited. She stooped and sighed. No matter what, she was still very mesmerizing.
âAccording to you, the experts at the Immortal Realm used to come here to train themselves. How⊠how could they get in? And, how do we get out of here?â asked Shi Yan with a frown.
âAlthough my mother is an expert at the Immortal Realm, sheâs also the Matriarch, so she had to manage the tribe. She hasnât had a chance to visit the Sea Domain of Nihility yet. She told me that those Immortal Realm experts had come to the end of our world and crossed a strange river to get to this place.â
Audrey furrowed her brows and remembered her motherâs words. She explained, âThe warriors coming here from our world have a special compass, which navigates our world. Thatâs how they can save themselves from getting lost and end up finding the way home.â
Shi Yan gave a bitter smile. âItâs tragic that we donât know the direction. We donât know where our world is. Weâre like headless flies flying aimlessly.â
This area was misty and they couldnât measure time or check the direction. They were left with endless loneliness and coldness. If a warrior got lost here, loneliness and isolation would nibble his or her heart. He would eventually lose his mind and sink into the eternal darkness.
In this area, despair was someoneâs biggest enemy. If he couldnât defeat his despair, his will was going to wear out. In a hopeless situation, he would think about negative results.
Then, he would fall into bewilderment and gradually get weaker until he consumed all of his vitality.
âItâs strange. My mother said that this area is extremely perilous. Dangers are hidden everywhere. Why are we still safe and sound?â Audrey was curious.
Shi Yan couldnât explain this.
Elder Spark of the God Clan had visited the Sea Domain of Nihility but he had just surveyed the outskirts of the Sea Domain. He got the Celestial Ice Jade Flake there.
According to him, the Sea Domain was extremely dangerous. Except for real experts at the Immortal Realm, the others could hardly survive.
However, during this time, besides the isolation, loneliness, and coldness, Shi Yan and Audrey hadnât actually faced any danger that could make them perish.
This filled their hearts with doubts.
âEr⊠is it really the Sea Domain of Nihility? Could we⊠be wrong?â Shi Yan sounded astounded.
âNo, we canât be wrong!â Audrey confirmed. âSee, pieces of broken stars, dregs of the asteroids, the void caves, and turbulent energy. They are the features of the Sea Domain of Nihility. I guess itâs because of our location that we havenât encountered any danger. Maybe weâre in a very special area in the Sea Domain.â
âWhich place?â Shi Yan was surprised.
âI donât know. But Iâve heard from my mother that the Sea Domain of Nihility still has some relatively safe areas that the experts could rest in for a short time to adjust their conditions. Anyway, she also said that there wouldnât be anything to harvest in those areas. The precious items wouldnât appear there,â explained Audrey.
âWhy is that?â asked Shi Yan.
âShe said that there so many Immortal Realm experts have visited the Sea Domain of Nihility to explore. They had finished searching for precious items in the safe zones a long time ago. Nothing was left. Only the areas with a lot of deathtraps could have treasures that they havenât discovered yet,â answered Audrey in a low-pitched voice.
Suddenly, she got up. Her creamy, straight legs were so attractive. Her pair of clear and deep eyes zoomed over to the further area. She sighed, âTian Xie said that weâve been living in Desolateâs Incipient Extent. That world isnât a real universe. I think the creatures from a real universe used to come to this area. But because itâs unimaginably vast, itâs hard to meet them.â
She turned her head to look at Shi Yan and contemplated, âThe precursors of Imperial Dark Tribe used to meet the aliens in the Sea Domain of Nihility. They belonged in a real universe! Itâs a secret in our tribe. Itâs not to be told to the others, but weâre in a special circumstance. Itâs okay if I tell you now.â
âThe creatures from a real universe? Were they Absolute Beginning creatures?â Shi Yan was astonished.
âI donât think so,â Audrey shook her head, âaccording to the records from our precursors, although they looked strange, they werenât as giant as the Absolute Beginning creatures. My precursor couldnât communicate with them. They met and then parted shortly after that. My precursor guessed that they were really strong and not weaker than him. At that time, he was at Second Sky of Immortal Realm.â
Shi Yan kept silent.
He got the truth for a long time ago. He knew that the world he had dwelled in was just Desolateâs Incipient Extent. It was the world that Desolate had created. It wasnât a real universe.
The Sea Domain of Nihility had gotten rid of Desolate. SThus, it wasnât strange if other creatures could come here.
In this immense sea of stars, if the Absolute Beginning creatures like Desolate, Devour, or Hui could exist, there were other living beings. Perhaps they werenât as powerful as Absolute Beginning creatures, but they were clearly strong.
Theoretically, it wasnât strange if the precursor of the Imperial Dark Tribe could encounter some aliens in the Sea Domain of Nihility. It was just that they were wandering in an extremely vast area and they couldnât meet any strange creature.
As thoughts crossed his mind, Shi Yan kept quiet for a long time and then said, âWe canât stay idle like this. Perhaps we should seek the dangerous areas proactively. We can find the precious treasure in the place that could threaten our lives. We could even see the other creatures!â
If they stayed in this safe zone, even if they could rest for one hundred years, they wouldnât find the way home. If they couldnât meet any other creature to learn about this area, they were never going to escape this place.
âItâs a good idea. But we donât even know where the dangerous areas are! Even if we want to go there, we have to find a suitable area,â said Audrey begrudgingly.
âIf you had told me we could have a bigger chance if we entered the dangerous areas, we would have gone there a long time ago. While riding the meteor, I could feel that some places were very dangerous. I tried to avoid those areas.â
When they were moving, Shi Yan had released his Soul Consciousness to sense around. He recognized many areas with the terrifying energy fluctuations. The auras of those areas made him feel his life was threatened.
Thus, he didnât notify Audrey and avoided to ensure his own safety.
And now, listening to Audreyâs explanation, he finally knew that they must take risks to find the right direction. They had to proactively jump into those deathtraps.
âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â Audrey rebuked and blamed him for wasting their time.
âYou couldnât endure the dangers there. I just wanted to keep you safe,â Shi Yan gave her a forced smile. âYouâre at First Sky of Incipient God Realm. Iâm sure you canât survive the lands Iâve sensed.â
Let alone Audrey, even Shi Yan knew those areas were unpredictably dangerous that he couldnât be sure about his own safety. Thus, he didnât tell Audrey.
âYou disdain me?â Audreyâs eyes turned cold.
âAlright, we should keep going. When my Soul Consciousness spots the danger, we will get there. I hope you can perform your best and surprise me at that time,â Shi Yan smiled relaxedly.
Audrey snorted. âWell, Iâm one of the warriors with the Origins. Even though my realm is low, I can protect myself. I wonât depend on you.â
âNothing could be better then.â
