Chapter 722: Puzzle 664 Level 4

"Who exactly are you!?"

Suddenly, in the half-sky ahead, a swath of dark clouds swept forth, the clouds contracting and coalescing into a colossal black giant that towered tens of thousands of meters high.

The giant’s face ignited with blood-like flames, as a pair of black colossal eyes, gazing through the flames, focused on Li Chengyi.

"Strange armor, strange abilities... your magic elements are no more than that of low-ranking demon races, yet you’re able to command such a massive and bizarre tribe..."

The giant’s resonant voice boomed like thunder, shaking Li Chengyi and Jue to the point that the wind howled around them, and ripples of space surged in concentric circles.

"Is the one who comes the Demon Emperor Nayun?" Li Chengyi halted and looked at the other.

"Who are you!?" the giant huffed coldly. "Considering you haven’t killed a single strong being from our realm, it’s still not too late for you to leave now."

"No... it’s already too late." Li Chengyi smiled.

The range of his dimensional coverage had already enveloped more than half of the Nayun Realm.

At this point, it was almost enough.

In reality, for Dimensional Demon Gods, the degree to which he had merged his consciousness with the dimension to carry out specific control steps was already sufficient.

Faintly, Li Chengyi had such an epiphany.

The next step was to form the Dimensional Embryo and then continue to raise his Consciousness Power to merge even more range.

The embryo would strengthen his control over the dimension and create a special demonic body that belonged solely to him within the Dimensional Domain.

"If you refuse, then you shall die!!"

The Demon Emperor Nayun couldn’t be bothered with further words; with a single hand, he gathered the dark clouds into a huge spear and smashed it down on Li Chengyi’s head.

Behind him, one after another, the beasts and demonic beasts of considerable size roared as they burst out of the dark clouds, swooping down on Li Chengyi as if to ambush him.

Just then, the Floral Dress on Li Chengyi’s body switched instantaneously, and a massive rift formed on his back, releasing terrifying black smoke.

A moment later.

All was calm again in the Nayun Demon Realm.

All the Immortal Zombies mysteriously vanished, and the continent returned to its original serene and peaceful atmosphere.

On the back of a phoenix zombie ablaze with gray-black flames, Li Chengyi and an elderly man dressed in an imperial robe stood shoulder to shoulder, flying towards the large portal leading out of the Nayun Realm.

Passing through the portal, the outside was a dark and vacant expanse of space.

The Black Phoenix flapped its wings for instantaneous movement, crossing vast distances in the blink of an eye.

Under its continuous instant movements, all surroundings seemed like slides in a slideshow, constantly appearing and then disappearing.

Time passed, though it was not known how long.

The Black Phoenix suddenly halted, stopping in place.

In front of Li Chengyi and the elder, directly ahead, was a colossal wall as black as mud, writhing slowly, standing immobile.

"Is this the world’s boundary you spoke of?"

Li Chengyi frowned at the black wall.

To his left, right, above, and below, as far as the eye could see, there were no boundaries. The black wall seemed to completely sever space into two halves.

"Precisely." The elder nodded, none other than the Demon Emperor Nayun, who had previously considered resistance.

Unfortunately, against Li Chengyi, donned in the Divine Flower Gourmet and magnified by a terrifying force and magic elements by a thousand folds, along with the use of Flower Language Technique, it only took a few seconds to completely subdue him.

Now, on his face, there also appeared a Ziwei Flower Seal.

That was the symbol of the Ziwei Royal Authority.

"We’ve tried many times, but found that no matter what attempts we make, the moment we come into contact with the black wall, all matter, all force, will assimilate into a part of it." Demon Emperor Nayun sighed.

"Moreover, over these recent years, we have discovered that the black wall is constantly advancing, devouring the entire space of our starry sky."

He paused for a moment.

"The one who first found the black wall was the Xuanji Sect Master. At that time, she pondered over methods to save the world, but, regrettably, she eventually concluded that it was the human race that disrupted the balance of the universe, leading to the constant approach of the black wall’s doom."

"So, she initiated a purge against all humanity on her own?" Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

"Precisely. The Xuanji Sect Master believed that the life and death in the universe must be in equilibrium. If living beings take up too much, everything will become unbalanced, and the black wall will advance more rapidly," Demon Emperor Nayun explained, "The key point is, her theory has indeed slowed down the progression of the black wall substantially, which made her belief even stronger."

"..." Li Chengyi was at a loss for words.

Even with his present dimensional perception, he could only see the black wall as a blur.

There was no line of vitality; in his dimensional sense, the black wall was just a black wall, unchanged in the slightest.

"Let’s go," he instructed the Black Phoenix to change direction, "Let’s see what the Xuanji Sect Master is up to."

After testing the levels of the Demon Emperor Nayun, Li Chengyi had an approximate comparison with his own capability to withstand for several hours under the Xuanji Sect Master.

The Demon Emperor Nayun’s actual power was akin to Li Chengyi’s when he was in his Blind Spot state, one-eighth of his power.

Far from the level of a Saint, but still enough to easily destroy a planet.

However, the warriors here were highly refined in controlling their power, rarely leaking large-scale residual energy from their power.

Thus, it was common to find subtle and deep scars of battle, but rare to see remnants of large-scale destruction.

"The Xuanji Sect Master’s strength is extremely terrifying, and since her appearance, we, many realm masters and the Family Alliance together, have jointly investigated her origins. All attempts have failed," Demon Emperor Nayun revealed a trace of worry.

"Don’t worry," Li Chengyi smiled, "I appreciate her steadfast ideal of saving the world. As long as we can fully communicate, I am sure we can reach a consensus that both parties can accept."

No matter what, after harvesting the Xuanji Sect’s resources, he would have to find a way to leave this place.

So this step had to be taken, because his time was running out.

The Black Phoenix moved swiftly with instantaneous movement, traversing vast spaces of the cosmos.

As time passed, they drew ever closer to the Star Domain where Baishi Star was located.

The Black Phoenix slowly turned, about to fly towards the direction of the Xuanji Sect in space.

The headquarters of the Xuanji Sect in space was a gigantic ship adorned with dozens of pairs of white wings.

Around the hull were rings of white discs, where warriors appeared to be battling incessantly as if there was no end.

Atop each disc, numerous martial artists were engaged in life-or-death struggles.

Silent waves of gold, black, and white undulated continuously.

Li Chengyi spared only a glance before redirecting his gaze.

Before they reached the ship, his brow furrowed tightly.

An exaggeratedly sharp pain pierced through the Floral Dress, relentlessly stimulating his body at that moment.

’Is my body issuing a warning??’

Li Chengyi instantly became alert.

The previous appearance of Demon Emperor Nayun had not triggered any warning, but the current Xuanji Sect was giving him such a clear sense of threat.

Sigh...

Indistinctly, a somewhat familiar aura spread from the ship, instantly sweeping over the three of them, not lingering, and continued to dissipate towards the outer boundary.

At the moment he felt this aura, Li Chengyi’s pupils contracted.

’Is this... a Saint Position? And it’s a native one!’

Having achieved the Saint Position himself, he naturally knew how formidable this level was.

Especially the Saints from his own world, their strength was even a notch higher.

Back when he had first become a Saint, he dared to confront the Dimensional Demon Gods head-on because, having just achieved saintliness, his homeland was right behind him.

To defeat her in the land where a Saint had originated...

This difficulty... not to mention that this world was far larger than the previous one.

Li Chengyi’s thoughts churned rapidly in his mind.

Idea after idea flashed by.

Soon, the Black Phoenix approached the ship. Once Demon Emperor Nayun sent a message, numerous figures in white robes leapt into the sky, flying towards them.

A few minutes later.

The two met the legendary, invincible Xuanji Sect Master in a cabin in the middle of the ship.

Judging by appearance, this so-called Sect Master was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

In a white gauze dress and pearl top, her soft shoulders draped with iridescent fabric, she had her hair coiled up with countless tiny eyes sneakily glancing at Li Chengyi.

"Nayun, you’ve come to me alone, quite bold," the Xuanji Sect Master languidly reclined on the only red jade bed in the cabin, her hair scattered over her body, clearly not taking Nayun seriously.

"I am merely here to introduce my master," Demon Emperor Nayun respectfully stepped aside to reveal Li Chengyi behind him.

"Master?" The Xuanji Sect Master was slightly startled, her gaze narrowing as she looked towards Li Chengyi.

At the sight of him, a certain indescribable and peculiar feeling surged silently in her heart.

It was as though she saw her own kind.

Despite their different genders, appearances, and temperaments, at that moment she inexplicably felt that he was very dear to her.

Li Chengyi wore a smile and bowed with his hands clasped.

The Floral Dress surged with the Flower Language Technique as the Ultimate Form of Good Fortune’s Floral Fortune was rapidly depleting the previous accumulation, fully activated.

’Floral Fortune Activating: The Xuanji Sect Master suffered a terrible injury in her youth, losing her memories before the age of ten. Subsequently, she was separated from her family but was returned to them by a kind stranger. Now, she finds your demeanor strikingly similar to a kind-hearted person from a hundred years ago, unintentionally increasing her goodwill towards you.’

Li Chengyi saw the Xuanji Sect Master’s brow relax, and the look in her eyes softened as they fell on him. He knew that Heavenly Fortune’s effect mainly involved finding vulnerabilities and entry points in one’s past life and then guiding them to form a closeness to him.

But it was his first time using the Flower Language in its Ultimate Form. He was curious to see the effect.

In an instant, the Floral Fortune continued its activation.

’Heavenly Fortune Activating: The Xuanji Sect Master had long forgotten her real name, but upon seeing you, the name buried deep in her heart resurfaced. The person who once patiently taught her to write had vanished in the skirmishes of the past and was mistakenly killed by her own hands. With deep guilt flooding her heart, she finds your demeanor akin to her intended husband’s, softening her gaze even more.’

’Heavenly Fortune Continues: In the past, the Xuanji Sect Master used the cells of her fiancé to conceive a child, a boy, but he was tragically lost mid-pregnancy due to an enemy’s ambush. Now, seeing you bear a resemblance to that child, she falls into deep reminiscence, looking at you with increasingly tender eyes.’

’Heavenly Fortune Continuing: Upon seeing you, the Xuanji Sect Master also recalls the grandfather who adored her the most—his robust muscles, hearty laughter, and amiable face that linger in her mind. You, with a temperament remarkably like her grandfather’s, receive her ineffable fondness.’

"...." Li Chengyi swallowed hard.

As he watched the Xuanji Sect Master’s expression shift and change.

’Heavenly Fortune: On the third second after seeing you, the Xuanji Sect Master feels a sudden doubt. She thinks of the brother she never met; if it weren’t for the enemy’s attack, her family wouldn’t have been reduced to just her surviving. Now, as she looks at you—someone who resembles her brother—her heart’s softest spot is touched, and she feels a special, compassionate affection for you...’

"...." Li Chengyi’s scalp tingled as he watched the still-activating Floral Fortune and the rapidly changing look in the Xuanji Sect Master’s eyes.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!!

He hastily tried to wrest control of the Flower Language Technique with his thoughts.

If it continued like this, who knew what sort of bizarre situation it might lead to.
