Zhou Wen imagined that the Chaos Egg would be capable of withstanding the treasure beam when it landed on the Chaos Egg.
Zhou Wen was somewhat dumbfounded the next second. The treasure beam didnât attack the Chaos Egg. Instead, it carried the Chaos Egg towards the jade book and stored it inside.
Zhou Wen struggled to get out to no avail. He was forcefully pulled into the book. Just as he was thinking about how to escape, he heard a thud as the book snapped to a close.
Zhou Wen felt his surroundings turn dead silent as though it was an endless dark void. He couldnât see, hear, or sense anything.
He attempted to rush out, but there was nothing around him. No matter where he went, the outcome was the same. It was as though there was no end to the void.
This is definitely Starlord Merciful Songâs domain power. I wonder what domain this is. Why is it so odd?
?Zhou Wen knew that things were going south.
Although Starlord Merciful Song didnât kill him, trapping him here forever was worse than killing him.
Thankfully, this was a game, so Zhou Wen could commit suicide again. In reality, it was basically no different from dying.
Of course, Zhou Wen couldnât wait for Starlord Merciful Song to open the jade book. He knew the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.
He had made it a habit in-game to identify the other partyâs abilities before taking action. It was mainly to understand the abilities of dimensional creatures. Otherwise, even if he killed a dimensional creature, he wouldnât even know what abilities it had.
He failed to come up with a way to escape after some extended thinking. Even if he released the Golden Wyrm Scissors, it could only fly randomly in the endless void. There was no way out.
Here, spatial powers didnât seem to work as though they were locked. Zhou Wen was actually unable to use spatial teleportation or instant transmission. He had no choice but to commit suicide.
Dripping a drop of blood to revive, he was just about to enter the dungeon and gain the upper hand over Starlord Merciful Song by killing him with the Golden Wyrm Scissors and not giving him a chance to flip open the jade book when he suddenly heard his phone ring.
âOld Zhou, someoneâs looking for you.â It was Li Xuan.
âWho?â Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
âHeâs wearing a cloak and a mask. Itâs impossible to tell who he is. However, from his bearing, he shouldnât be an ordinary person. Do you want to meet him? If not, Iâll defeat him and send him on his way,â Li Xuan said.
âLet me take a look first,â Zhou Wen said as he walked out and quickly arrived at the door.
âWhere is he?â Zhou Wen saw Li Xuan drinking tea in the guardhouse.
âOver there.â Li Xuan curled his lips towards the left of the door.
Zhou Wen looked in that direction and saw a person standing under the shade of a tree. Indeed, just as Li Xuan had said, the person was tightly covered up. One couldnât even tell if the person was male or female.
However, Zhou Wen recognized him at a glance and couldnât help but be slightly taken aback.
Jiuyang, whatâs this fellow doing here?
?Zhou Wen found it odd.
Zhou Wen was wondering why Jiuyang was being so polite if he knew that he was Egg Sovereign and wanted to seek revenge.
However, if he wasnât here to seek revenge, what else could Jiuyang be doing?
âDo you know him?â Li Xuan asked as he drank his tea.
âJiuyang,â Zhou Wen answered.
âPfft!â Li Xuan spat out the tea he had just drunk. âWhich Jiuyang? Saint Jiuyang?â
âWho else could it be? Iâll go see what heâs here for,â Zhou Wen said as he walked towards Jiuyang.
âWho are you? Why do you want to see me?â Zhou Wen came in front of Jiuyang and asked, feigning ignorance.
âYou know who I am,â Jiuyang said calmly. âI came here to invite you to the Holy Land as a guest.â
âAlthough I donât know who you are, I appreciate your kindness. Itâs best if you return. A sanctified place like the Holy Land isnât a place an ordinary person like me can go.â Zhou Wen rejected it without even thinking.
Holy God hated him to the core. It would be odd if something beneficial awaited him in the Holy Land.
âAlright, if you defeat me, you donât have to go,â Jiuyang said bluntly.
In fact, Jiuyangâs main goal for coming here was to fight Zhou Wen. Whether Zhou Wen went to the Holy Land was a matter of Holy Godâs concern. Jiuyang didnât care, but he couldnât disobey Holy Godâs orders.
âDonât joke around. How can I beat you?â Zhou Wen said.
âIf you donât know who I am, how do you know that you canât beat me?â Jiuyang said calmly to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen knew that he had been careless, but he didnât need to worry about such matters. He said with a smile, âSaints from the Holy Land are each stronger than the last. No matter which one of them comes, a mortal like me isnât their match.â
âItâs useless no matter what you say. Fight me or Iâll take you back through force. The outcome will be the same,â Jiuyang said to Zhou Wen.
âWhy donât we do this? Go back for now. Iâll visit the Holy Land when Iâm free. I really have something on now and canât leave.â Although Zhou Wen was already at odds with the Holy Land, he wasnât willing to fall out with it.
âDo you want to choose the venue or should I do the honors?â Jiuyang ignored what Zhou Wen said and continued speaking at his own pace.
When Zhou Wen saw Jiuyangâs behavior, he knew that things wouldnât end well today. Instead of letting Jiuyang fight him here and cause Guide City to suffer, he might as well choose a venue himself. At the very least, he wouldnât harm his family and friends.
âFollow me,â Zhou Wen said as he vanished.
Ordinary people couldnât even see Calamity-grade entities when they traveled at the speed of light.
Jiuyang didnât say a word as he followed. He followed beside Zhou Wen at an unhurried pace. Clearly, he was much faster than Zhou Wen.
Of course, this wasnât Jiuyangâs speed, but the speed of the Sun God Guardian.
âYou are indeed very strong, but you donât have a Guardian. Did you use Spirit Casting or a Mythical Serum?â Jiuyang sized up Zhou Wen as his eyes gradually lit up.
âWould you believe me if I said that I didnât use Spirit Casting or a Mythical Serum?â Zhou Wen said as he flew.
âNo,â Jiuyang answered with certainty because he had never seen a human advance to the Mythical stage purely as a human, much less to the Calamity grade.
âThen I canât answer you.â As Zhou Wen spoke, he had already crossed the mountain range known as the spine of the world and continued heading west.
âWhy are you running so far? Thereâs no one here,â Jiuyang said.
âItâs boring without anyone. Iâll take you to an interesting place. Itâs more interesting to fight there..â Zhou Wen continued flying forward without looking back as he headed for the West District.
