Chapter 848: Chapter 707 Aberrant Evil Species

It was as if the Heavenly Dao was guiding you and giving you a cheat!

Those who followed later, without this blessing, walked the path you took and lacked the blessings when their rank solidified, were destined to be inferior to you, eventually leading to the notion that it was nearly impossible for later generations to surpass their predecessors.

It wasn’t that the predecessors occupied your position, but rather that, even with the optimal solutions and preferential treatment, that was as far as one could go.

Therefore, the path you treaded and the rank you solidified, if they were based on someone else’s, was destined to be inferior!

That’s why Shen Hong held such reverence for understanding new Tao and reason on his own.

Only by doing so could you possibly solidify enough rank when you became an Immortal.

Of course, there’s the old saying, ’Fifty of the Great Dao, Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine, with one escape left,’ so nothing is absolute.

······

Time passed hurriedly as Wang Zijia continued his Cultivation.

The journey was not peaceful, filled with all sorts of Void monsters, Ruins obstructing the way, and endless events.

However, with an Immortal in charge, everything went smoothly, and nothing disturbed Wang Zijia’s Cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

"Weng!"

"Woo woo!"

That day, while Wang Zijia was in his routine Cultivation, the entire Magic-driven vehicle suddenly shook violently.

Alarms went off everywhere, and even his Cultivation Room lit up with red light.

Wang Zijia, frowning, quickly opened the Cultivation Room and hurried towards the Control Room.

Lei Ting remained like a gatekeeper deity, following Wang Zijia as he emerged.

As they passed through, alarm lights flashed continuously, accompanied by shaking.

"What’s going on?" Wang Zijia asked immediately as he entered the Control Room.

Normally, a route that even those Crossing Tribulation would find passable, a place where an Earth Immortal teamed up with elite disciples of a God System to operate an Immortal Tool, should be overwhelmingly powerful.

"I’ve failed to manage well, Master, please punish me!" Ice Frost immediately said.

"I’m asking what happened," Wang Zijia said, frowning.

Being too fervent towards him wasn’t good, either. If it were a normal situation, Ice Frost’s first reaction should be to dodge responsibility, but now he was immediately admitting fault, which spoke volumes.

Upon hearing this, Ice Frost immediately said, "The route given by the Immeasurable Palace was indeed supposed to be a previously safe course."

"However, in these recent years, it has been abandoned, and no one has maintained the route."

"The route from the Central Immortal Domain to the Spirit Suppressing Realm might occasionally still see traffic, so people would clean it up along the way. But the route from East Wilderness to the Spirit Suppressing Realm has been abandoned for at least tens or hundreds of years, even longer without anyone passing through."

"It belongs to the category of outdated route maps; not only is it unmaintained, but it’s nearly completely Ruined."

"Along the way, we’ve encountered many oddly mutated Void creatures."

······

As Ice Frost explained, Wang Zijia slowly began to understand the situation.

He also turned his gaze towards the large virtual screen in the Control Room.

At this moment, the perspective was no longer the first-person view of the Magic-driven vehicle, but a third-person perspective on the screen.

In the Endless Void, a massive Cloudy Immortal Palace stood tall.

At the moment, a gigantic pitch-black creature was lying on top of the Palace’s Light orb Shield.

The creature seemed to lack a specific shape, resembling a massive black gel mixed with countless bones, Flesh and blood, and other elements, forming an Aggregate Monster.

Currently, the creature kept writhing, already having enveloped a small part of the Cloudy Immortal Palace’s energy Shield.

It looked like a soft-bodied organism with numerous impurities, wrapping around and engulfing the Palace.

This fiendish creature had an extremely high resistance to attacks; Spiritual Light kept erupting from the Palace, only managing to damage parts of the creature’s gelatinous mass, which would then shift to fill in the spots the Palace’s attacks left gaping, as bits of the black writhing gel passed through the Spiritual Shield, raining down in drops.

Even though Wang Zijia had brushed up on quite a lot of knowledge in this time, there was still nothing new he could ascertain about this entity, or rather, this thing didn’t fit into any specific racial category he knew.

As the red lights flashed and the shaking Control Room continued, a disciple responsible for defense suddenly spoke to Ice Frost:

"Master, this Void creature has a strong energy-absorbing trait, and the brothers can’t hold on much longer. The Immortal Shelf’s defensive array is in critical condition!"

Without waiting for Ice Frost to speak, Wang Zijia turned his head and said, "Lei Ting."

At his words, Lei Ting, without needing Wang Zijia to say anything further, bowed to Wang Zijia and, in the next moment, disappeared from his original spot.

In an instant, the view on the virtual screen changed.

The half-enshrouded Immortal Shelf was suddenly illuminated by dots of lightning.

Following that, a giant figure with bright white wings, resembling Lei Ting, appeared in the Void.

Upon arrival, he didn’t waste any words as boundless thunder surged forth.

"Roar!"

The Aggregate Monster actually let out a deep and resonant Void roar under the barrage of thunder.

But as terrifying as it seemed, it had little resistance against a Celestial Immortal.

Under the ceaseless assault of thunder, it eventually dissipated into nothingness.

Within moments, Lei Ting reappeared beside Wang Zijia, and handed him a fist-sized black orb.

Wang Zijia, taking the orb, discovered that it wasn’t hard, but rather gelatinous, like a gummy candy.

’What is this?’

As thoughts bounced about, his eyes flickered with Golden Light. However, after a long moment, he obtained no information.

But the Five Ghosts emblem on his chest began to wriggle as if it had sensed something delicious.

······

Wang Zijia frowned, the flesh on his hand writhing as a large baby’s ghostly mouth opened in his palm and bit a small piece off the black squishy ball.

Following that, Wang Zijia arrived at the baby’s Chaotic Sea of Blood Knowledge.

Sure enough, a blood-colored weight came into being.

Weight: Aberrant Evil Species

Status: Deceased

Value: 45

Introduction: Originally an ordinary polluted creature, due to the invasion of special origination forces, it underwent a detrimental mutation and thus was born a strange creature. This creature is highly polluting and has a frenzied pursuit of all spiritual beings.

Special Note: This creature reproduces asexually by fission, lives in groups, and possesses characteristics capable of world destruction.

Wang Zijia stared at the weight in astonishment.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo!"

At this moment, the siren of the Immortal Treasure Drive sounded again, piercingly loud.

"Great Master, a large number of void creatures have been detected!"

At the same time, the disciple responsible for danger detection also reported with a dramatically changed complexion.

As he spoke, his hands moved continuously, and the scenes on the projected light screen shifted.

To the left of the Magic-driven, a densely packed mass of black, gelatinous clusters appeared.

They moved like a bizarre void mudslide, with various flesh, bones, and ruins mixed within the gel, rushing towards the Immortal Shelf at a not-so-slow pace.

It was a vast expanse with no visible end in sight, as if it intended to engulf and drown the Immortal Shelf.

"Deviate from the course, navigate to the right front!"

Wang Zijia, recalling the weight’s introduction, commanded decisively after witnessing the scene.

Following Wang Zijia’s command, the people around him sprang into action.

"Boom!"

The Cloud Immortal Palace shook and spewed out countless Spiritual Light, dragging a divine rainbow tail flame as it quickly moved away.

The mudslide-like bizarre gelatinous aggregate creature was actually quite fast, but it couldn’t catch up with the Immortal Shelf. In a moment, they were left far behind.

Before leaving, Wang Zijia looked back gravely for a long time; the darkness seemed endless.

······

Wang Zijia pulled up the navigation map and asked, "Was the direction we just encountered the Demon Suppression Domain?"

As the main person responsible for navigation, Ice Frost naturally had the clearest understanding and nodded, "Yes, Master, we are now not far from the South Spirit."

"And the direction from which those void creatures surged was precisely from the Demon Suppression Domain."

Wang Zijia’s brows furrowed as he recalled the information he had received earlier.

The Southern Spirit Three Domains, the Spirit Suppressing tendency severe, were abandoned by the Three Sects; the Demon Suppression Domain even more so, exhibiting signs of world extinction, was also given up.

These were the labels the Three Sects placed on the two domains thousands of years ago.

Now... the vicinity of the Demon Suppression Domain had actually seen the emergence of these aberrant void creatures, and in groups no less.

Was this simply a sign of world destruction?

It was as if the world there had already ended, and the entire Demon Suppression Domain was no more!

······

Lost in thought, Wang Zijia remembered the information about the weight he had seen earlier.

He turned his head to Lei Ting and said, "Go inspect the Magic-driven; when that creature enveloped the Magic-driven, and the disciples defended with their attacks, I saw some energy fall into the black gelatinous mass through the holes."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ting’s body dispersed into endless electric light, spreading throughout the entire Magic-driven.

Inside the Magic-driven, a few disciples in corners suddenly started emitting black smoke from their bodies, trembling non-stop as if electrocuted.

The Control Room also displayed the corresponding scenes.

"Squeak, squeak!"

As Lei Ting traversed through, groups of venomous black gel-like substance squirmed everywhere, emitting vicious screams.

Unfortunately, under the direct cleansing of a Heavenly Immortal Level Great Power, not even a ripple emerged, and they were reduced to ash by Lei Ting’s lightning, leaving nothing behind.

After the task was completed, Lei Ting confirmed twice more that there were no problems before gathering again beside Wang Zijia. Throughout the entire process, he did not utter a word, acting like a qualified bodyguard.

"Is it thoroughly cleaned?" Wang Zijia asked, still not entirely at ease.

Lei Ting nodded.

Only then did Wang Zijia breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for Lei Ting’s presence.

Without him, even if they had escaped the situation, who knows if they would have carried these ghostly things back to the Spirit Suppressing Realm without realizing, bringing a terrifying heavenly disaster to the realm.

Wang Zijia turned his attention back to Ice Frost and inquired, "How much longer until we reach the Spirit Suppressing Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ice Frost quickly pulled up the map and looked carefully before answering, "Master, due to the interference of aberrant creatures and ruins along the way, we are about half a day slower than originally planned."

"Based on the current situation, it will take about six to seven more days. Moreover, the road ahead is even more ruined."

Wang Zijia frowned and said, "It seems that restoring the trade route with the East Wilderness will not be easy."

Of course, this rested on the assumption that even after becoming an Immortal, he could not traverse the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge between domains.

If he could traverse it, then these issues would no longer pose a problem.

"Alright, Lei Ting, stay here in case other situations arise," Wang Zijia instructed, looking at Lei Ting.

"I obey the Great Master’s decree!" The iron tower-like Lei Ting responded respectfully.

Wang Zijia no longer paid attention to these matters and returned to the Cultivation Room to continue his daily Cultivation routine.
