第两千七百三十五章 混沌初开

Such a great benefit, could it not be worth taking a risk?

True Spirit, the storage bag of a late-stage Tribulation Transcender, was an opportunity that any cultivator would consider heaven-sent. Although the danger was significant, compared to the potential rewards, it was insignificant.

Prosperity comes from peril; this principle was something Lin Xuan had been aware of since he first stepped into the cultivation world. Besides, what he had here was only a manifestation, which, though precious, would not lead to his actual demise even in the worst-case scenario. Therefore, when such an opportunity presented itself, it was fully worth taking a chance.

Otherwise, if he turned back now, Lin Xuan was certain that he would regret it one day.

Although watching the two great cultivators battle had given him some insights, they were far from comparable to the benefits at hand.

When in doubt, act decisively; hesitation is a grave sin for a cultivator. This principle was not lost on Lin Xuan, who quickly made his decision after a moment's hesitation.

After all, this was no small matter. It might have already alerted some great existences in this realm, but the distance was too vast to reach here immediately. If he continued to hesitate, this fleeting opportunity could slip away from his fingers.

Lin Xuan did not want such an outcome. So, with his decision made, he clasped his hands and lightly shook his sleeves, causing a burst of spiritual light. A palm-sized demon banner appeared before him: the Ten Thousand Soul Banner!

This treasure from Old Master Zhong was no ordinary item; Lin Xuan entrusted it to his manifestation as self-defense.

Of course, for the current danger, its utility might be limited, but better than nothing.

Lin Xuan cast a spell.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner emitted black light, dispersing vast amounts of阴气. Soon, a dark cloud enveloped him, silently flying towards the front.

The speed was astonishing; Lin Xuan had no hesitation once he made his decision.

For a cultivator like Lin Xuan, a distance of tens of thousands of miles was negligible. However, for ordinary people, it was unimaginably far.

But Lin Xuan remained cautious. Although he decided to take risks, he aimed to avoid or mitigate dangers whenever possible.

The journey ahead was manageable. The True Spirit Golden Toad's precise control over mana was too good; its range did not exceed a few hundred miles. Thus, at first, Lin Xuan encountered no trouble or annoyance.

But soon, he stopped and looked towards the front with an uncertain expression.

It was nothingness.

Yes, it was emptiness.

In front of him, it seemed like the moment of creation, where heaven and earth had yet to separate, a gray expanse.

The laws of this region's heaven and earth had been completely destroyed by the True Spirit Golden Toad's primordial body. Therefore, the torn space would not heal, and the collapse was permanent.

Lin Xuan had experienced countless dangers on his path to cultivation; however, what he saw before him was unprecedented.

Was it the moment of creation?

Such a situation was only described in a few ancient texts, which were vague and ethereal. The descriptions were brief, leaving much to imagination.

Even with such simple descriptions, they were mostly speculative.

After all, there were no heavens or earths, let alone any living beings at that time; how could anyone truly witness it?

However, Lin Xuan saw it now.

Although not the true moment of creation, the True Spirit's primordial power had destroyed the laws of heaven and earth,还原 everything to that moment.

But even if it was a reconstruction, the scene before him was likely similar to what the world looked like at the time of creation. Lin Xuan had seen enough.

Would entering such an area be dangerous?

Lin Xuan did not know; he had never experienced this before.

Venturing recklessly into danger was not wise. A cautious approach would be better.

Lin Xuan quickly made his decision.

He flicked his sleeves, and a spirit beast bag appeared. The bag's mouth opened, producing a buzzing sound as countless blood fire ants swarmed out, forming a massive black-red insect cloud above him, spanning over twenty to thirty feet in width. The sight was terrifying.

Blood fire ants were known for their sheer numbers; the Ten Thousand Soul Tower remained on his main body. However, to be safe, he stored some of them in the spirit beast bag, entrusting them to his manifestation.

Although at his level, a single blood fire ant's power was negligible, there were many of them. These demonic insects were ferocious by nature and would not hesitate to attack when unleashed. Once released, they would charge forward fearlessly until their demise.

This characteristic made the blood fire ants invaluable even in high-level cultivator battles. At worst, if he couldn't fight his way out, releasing the blood fire ants could buy him time to escape.

Originally, Lin Xuan did not expect any danger or trouble on this mission, but he prepared numerous materials and treasures, including a batch of spirit insects, as the manifestation and main body were essentially one. The difference in spiritual consciousness was negligible, so controlling the blood fire ants felt like commanding his own limbs; there were no hindrances.

Now, Lin Xuan released the blood fire ants not for combat but to scout the area.

"Friend!"

Lin Xuan pointed upwards with a finger, and the buzzing sound grew more intense. A thousand or so of the insects separated from the cloud above him and flew into the chaotic space.

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, focusing intently.

Boom!

Booms echoed as dense explosions filled Lin Xuan's ears. The blood fire ants he used for scouting did not survive; they all self-destructed under a mysterious force.

Clearly, the space of creation held unknown dangers.

Lin Xuan's face turned cold.

But after analyzing the information relayed by the blood fire ants through their mental link, his expression brightened.

The situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

Indeed, the chaotic space was filled with a shifting energy that could cause immediate death upon entry. However, according to the blood fire ants' report, this effect seemed limited to beings below the婴 stage.
