Chapter 476: 暴走的空间乱流

"To be able to survive here, this little girl must possess at least the strength of a Divine Sovereign. But this is our domain, so obediently become our nourishment!" Another deep, terrifying voice echoed. Following it, within a world interwoven with darkness and vibrant colors, two pairs of twisted, dark eyes appeared.

Two Soul Devouring Beasts! Across the entire Chaotic Dimension, there were no more than thirty Soul Devouring Beasts in total. One could traverse space tens of millions of times and still not encounter a single one. To encounter one meant extreme misfortune, as this was a spatial rift, a place where profound energy was incredibly difficult to release. Unless one possessed unbelievably immense power, encountering a Soul Devouring Beast left only one option: flee with all one's might. However, Soul Devouring Beasts' control and interference over space far surpassed that of ordinary beings; they could easily interrupt a target's spatial travel, leaving them nowhere to escape. Even if not devoured by the beast, they would be immediately consumed and destroyed by the collapsing spatial tunnel.

To encounter two Soul Devouring Beasts at once could no longer simply be described as "misfortune."

Facing these spatial demons, feared by all, Jasmine's expression remained cold. Far from attempting to escape, she instead closed the spatial rift she had just opened and spoke in a chilling voice, "Are you... seeking death?"

"We... seeking death? Heheheheheh! No one has ever dared to speak to this king like that... So that's it, you're merely a pitiful soul without a body. No wonder you've been able to persist in this world for so long."

The words "pitiful soul" caused Jasmine's starry eyes to darken. Her gaze suddenly turned crimson, and her entire body abruptly unleashed a terrifying murderous aura that momentarily froze the surrounding spatial storm. "Seek... death!!"

Jasmine extended a finger, and an intensely dazzling crimson light gleamed at its tip. Its brilliance was so profound, it was as if the light of countless stars had converged into that single point. Instantly, everything around Jasmine fell into complete stillness... The entire space transformed directly into a terrifying black hole, growing larger and frantically devouring everything around it.

The two Soul Devouring Beasts, which had been approaching Jasmine, froze simultaneously. Staring at the crimson light that made space itself tremble, their four grotesque, twisted eyes began to shrink, revealing shock and profound terror. A voice, trembling noticeably, cried out, "Heaven... Heavenly... Heavenly Slaughter Star God!!"

"Impossible... The Heavenly Slaughter Star God was clearly afflicted with the God-Slaying Absolute Soul Poison, a lethal toxin even for those at the Divine Master Realm. She perished four years ago; it's impossible..."

"It seems you know quite a lot!" Jasmine's starry eyes grew even colder, and the murderous aura around her intensified, piercing to the bone. "Then you deserve to die even more!"

"One... Line... Heaven!!" As her voice fell, Jasmine drew a line in the air with her finger. Instantly, a crimson line streaked across this peculiar world, as if slicing it directly in half.

The crimson line marked one of the Soul Devouring Beasts, ruthlessly slicing through the space between its two horrifying eyes... In the next instant, those two eyes separated and dissipated, and a blurry black silhouette completely dissolved into the strange spatial rift. This Soul Devouring Beast, which had existed for nearly a hundred thousand years, couldn't even let out a single cry before its demise.

"Star God... Mercy... Mercy!!" The other Soul Devouring Beast recoiled in terror. Previously, it had been skeptical about the crimson light, as the person it knew who could wield such power had long perished and could never reappear. But now, seeing its kind obliterated within its own domain in an instant, it was so startled its soul nearly scattered. With a shriek, it fled into the depths of space at its fastest possible speed.

"Trying to escape? Humph!" Jasmine sneered disdainfully, and crimson light began to gleam at her fingertip again... However, before the crimson light could fully manifest, her face suddenly turned pale, and the profound energy light she had just gathered vanished with it.

During this brief pause, the Soul Devouring Beast completely vanished into the sea of space, leaving no trace.

After more than two years spent inside the Sky Poison Pearl without using any profound energy, more than a third of the God-Slaying Absolute Soul Poison in Jasmine's body had been purified. The power she could now wield was far greater than before, but it was still not enough for her to act recklessly. She quickly suppressed the surge of poison that almost erupted and was about to give chase, but then her body halted again, her gaze fixed on the ancient Profound Ark, which had already traveled far.

She had forcibly propelled the ancient Profound Ark, intensifying the spatial turbulence within it. However, she couldn't be certain if Yun Che could withstand such a violent upheaval. If he couldn't endure it, and she wasn't there to watch over him, he would be in direct mortal danger!

After a brief internal struggle, her concern for Yun Che ultimately prevailed. She abandoned the chase and tore open a spatial rift leading back inside the ancient Profound Ark. As her figure vanished into the rift, an icy voice, cold enough to freeze one's soul, echoed into this strange world where sound was normally impossible:

"If you dare spread news that this princess is still alive, this princess will annihilate your entire Soul Devouring race!"

"Ugh... Ahh... Ahhhhhh..." Yun Che, who had just broken through to the Sky Profound Realm and stabilized himself completely within the spatial turbulence, hadn't had much time to catch his breath when he suddenly felt the spatial currents grow even more violent. It was as if gentle ripples on the ocean surface had instantly transformed into monstrous waves, and his body became drenched in blood once more within a few breaths.

Yun Che's teeth clenched together again, and sounds of extreme pain escaped between them. His profound energy circulated at full capacity throughout his body, and the golden Pagoda of Brahma above his head spun at its maximum speed. The rate of profound energy consumption and recovery, and the speed of bodily damage and regeneration, were several times higher than before—reaching a terrifying, unimaginable level.

If Yun Che's profound energy hadn't achieved a major breakthrough, he wouldn't have been able to endure such a spatial storm for even thirty breaths, not even with his Dragon God's body and the Great Path of Brahma.

Jasmine silently observed Yun Che's condition, her delicate, porcelain-like face devoid of expression. Unconsciously, seven hours passed. Yun Che's body began to sway and convulse. The terrifying spatial turbulence repeatedly ripped open his chest, nearly destroying his internal organs, and almost tore his throat several times... Jasmine knew Yun Che had reached his current breaking point. Her eyes flickered, and a colorless light briefly shimmered in her palm.

Instantly, the surrounding space solidified for a moment. Subsequently, the spatial turbulence noticeably subsided, gradually returning to the intensity it had been seven hours prior.

Like a hurricane surrounding him calming into a strong wind, Yun Che, who had remained seated upright throughout the previous spatial storm, instead collapsed onto the ground with the sudden subsidence. A large pool of blood quickly accumulated beneath him. After gasping for breath for a while, he struggled to sit up, composed himself, and began to recover from his injuries.

Although the spatial turbulence had eased, the speed at which it absorbed ambient energy only decreased slightly. Within the calmer spatial currents, Yun Che managed to make most of the bloodstains on his body disappear within half an hour. His profound energy, while continuously protecting his body, barely recovered by less than half.

Yun Che opened his eyes. Through the constantly warping space, he saw Jasmine watching him expressionlessly. He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth slightly and asked, "What... what just happened? Why did the spatial turbulence suddenly become so terrifyingly violent?"

Jasmine replied indifferently, "This ancient Profound Ark is constantly undergoing spatial travel, so any degree of fluctuation is normal. Although it has calmed down now, don't rejoice too soon. Spatial turbulence of that intensity will definitely reappear... and it might even be more terrifying than before, lasting for a longer duration. Don't forget, the ancient Profound Ark appears on the Sky Profound Continent once every three hundred years. If it doesn't manifest and stop in another space, it could potentially traverse for a full three hundred years! During three hundred years of spatial travel, any level of spatial turbulence is possible! You likely don't have much time to rest. If you don't want to die, quickly focus and recover your body and profound energy."

During the month spent inside this ancient Profound Ark, every second felt like being in hell; even a moment of relaxation would result in one's body being torn to shreds. The current state of spatial turbulence was no less than purgatory for any living being from the Sky Profound Continent. Yet, for Yun Che, who had just endured spatial turbulence several times more intense, it felt almost like a beautiful paradise. While resisting the currents, he glanced around... Although the spatial storm was incredibly terrifying, the walls and floor here showed no damage whatsoever; not even tiny scratches or cracks were visible. Their resilience was undoubtedly terrifyingly extreme.

Even if he could withstand the spatial turbulence here, the surrounding walls presented another insurmountable chasm.

Every brick and stone here had endured spatial storms for countless years, yet showed no trace of damage... Even if he survived the spatial storm, how would he destroy the stone door and leave this place?!

This thought flashed through Yun Che's mind, but he quickly suppressed it, focusing all his concentration. Within the spatial turbulence he could now manage, he used his remaining strength to recover his body and profound energy... He was not someone who would easily lose heart or fall into despair; otherwise, he wouldn't have persisted in this purgatory until now. As long as a single breath remained, even if he had to endure things a thousand times beyond an ordinary person's limits, he would never allow his will to surrender.

Now was not the time to think about how to leave this place. Instead, he had to fight with all his might to survive here, and then, as Jasmine had said... little by little, fully adapt his body to the spatial turbulence here!

The relative calm of the spatial turbulence did not last long. An hour later, the spatial currents raged once more. In an instant, it was as if countless terrifying reapers roared and flew towards Yun Che, cruelly and relentlessly cutting his body with their scythes. Yun Che's eyes widened, and he let out a furious roar, unleashing the maximum profound energy from his profound veins, while the Great Path of Brahma also operated at its peak.

He didn't know when his current ordeal would cease...

He might eventually die here... but he would never allow his will to surrender to death before his body did!
