Welcome to Ability Store

"Oh, really? So it’s Ji Yun who planted them?" Xu Xuanling’s voice came from the sky.

She swooped down from mid-air, landing gracefully and dusting off her long skirt. "How did you two get here so fast?"

"Because we came by special transport," Chen Xuan shrugged.

"Special transport?" She looked around, "Where’s the vehicle? Never mind... it’s not important. So this is the erosion? I can feel the spiritual qi avoiding them, interesting!"

"The names Ji Yun and Ji Lian have never appeared in the sect," Liu Shuyue sighed, taking out the jade tablet from her arms, "I’m still not sure... If the Lotus Cloud Sect was really founded by the siblings, why would they erase their existence completely?"

At that moment, the jade tablet emitted a glowing green light.

"Hey, it’s glowing!" Xu Xuanling exclaimed first.

Everyone was taken aback.

Liu Shuyue was also stunned; she had examined the jade tablet many times, and its results indicated it was just an ordinary jade piece, not a magic treasure level item.

The light scattered like fireflies, drifting toward the pure white branches before diving in and disappearing.

"This is..."

Her heart stirred, moving the jade tablet closer to the erosion edge.

The light it emitted grew stronger instantly, and those "fireflies" danced more energetically.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan frowned.

Could the jade’s glow be guiding its holder?

Clearly, Liu Shuyue had the same thought.

She slowly reached out a hand.

"Wait, what are you trying to do?" Lin Qing shouted to stop her.

However, Liu Shuyue didn’t stop and directly reached her hand into the pure white fissure. Moments later, she pulled her hand back, still perfectly intact.

This at least proved that the world beyond wasn’t a touch-and-die environment.

"I feel like something’s summoning the jade tablet..." she said, "I want to go in and take a look."

"Isn’t that too risky?" Honglian expressed concern, "Temporary safety doesn’t mean it’s habitable for humans. When dealing with unknown erosions, they always send robots in first."

"Exactly, at least wear a protective suit. If there’s strong radiation, you won’t notice it immediately," Lin Qing also disagreed.

Liu Shuyue hesitated, "But..."

Before she could finish, the white branches behind her suddenly became active! The main branch rapidly expanded and grew, sprouting more branches!

One of the branches happened to be right behind Liu Shuyue.

By the time she realized it, half of her body was already engulfed by the pure white space.

The change happened so quickly that it was almost impossible to react—Chen Xuan found that even with the Divine Eye Technique activated, the erosion’s expansion speed showed no signs of slowing down.

He realized this was an invasion of space, not bound by physical limitations.

As Liu Shuyue was about to be completely drawn into the unknown new space, Chen Xuan unhesitatingly activated the guest recall function.

The next second, she suddenly vanished from the original spot.

Perhaps due to losing balance or panic, she loosened her grip, and the jade tablet did not leave with her but floated mid-air.

It still adhered to this world’s laws, appearing motionless under the gaze of the Divine Eye Technique.

At the moment the ability effect ended, Chen Xuan stepped forward, precisely grasping it in his palm.

"Quick, get away from here, the erosion seems to be getting unstable!" He warned Lin Qing and the others simultaneously.

However, at the moment he turned his head, he caught a hint of fear on their faces.

The jade tablet suddenly shone brightly.

The next second, four branches rose from front, back, left, and right, enclosing him tightly. Before Chen Xuan could adjust his glasses, the white erosion merged and engulfed him.

Instantly, Chen Xuan felt his vision blur, his body spinning uncontrollably as if plunging deep into the Earth’s core.

Seconds later, his view abruptly returned to normal.

He found he was truly falling!

Above him was a pitch-black sky, darker than ink-soaked paper, starkly contrasting the previous pure whiteness.

Logically, the erosion zone should reflect the attributes of the original space. Why was it the opposite here?

While adjusting his posture, Chen Xuan also saw the ground below.

A word popped into his mind: "Desolate."

The surface was crisscrossed with gulfs, each one comparable to the African Rift Valley, easily burying hundreds of meters of skyscrapers. The chasms’ bottoms surged with hot magma, scorching the surrounding rock walls red, occasionally erupting onto the surface.

In such harsh conditions, the land naturally showed no sign of life. Not to mention living beings or animals, even plants were hard to find... Once the dark red magma surged, even the most resilient weeds would turn to ashes.

Clearly, this was another world teetering on the brink of destruction.

If the erosion zone expanded without limit, it would drag Liu Shuyue’s world into the same doomed conclusion.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to transfer himself back to the Ability Store, a figure suddenly flashed across a distant hilltop. That airborne presence seemed vaguely familiar.

The glow from the jade tablet also drifted towards the direction where the figure disappeared.

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

Could it be... the figure was a cultivator from the Lotus Cloud Sect?

Thinking this, he took out a Wind Riding Talisman from his pocket and attempted to activate it. Resultantly, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, sharply pushing his falling body upwards.

The talisman actually worked in this world!

Chen Xuan was overjoyed; now he didn’t have to worry about falling to his death. Since he could fly, he might as well catch up and take a look. After all, he could leave this world at any time, so there was no rush.

He urged the wind, flying towards the hill shrouded in darkness.

Before crossing the ridge, Chen Xuan sensed something was amiss. He clearly felt the flow of spiritual qi here extremely turbulent, like an overwhelming tsunami, with him like a small boat atop the waves, forced in directions he couldn’t control. Continuing like this, he’d lose control over the wind, and other spells would likely be ineffective too.

To avoid accidents, he plummeted headlong to the ground, landing rather awkwardly behind the mountain ridge.

Crossing over the ridge, Chen Xuan’s eyes widened!

The stormy spiritual qi seemed to be caused by that white figure—her sleeves and ribbons fluttered in the wind, her movements as swift as lightning, even the Divine Eye Technique struggled to follow her actions. She wielded a long sword, seemingly delicate and breakable, yet its displayed power was unbelievably strong. With a casual swing, she could flatten a mountaintop or cleave open the earth, creating a fissure hundreds of meters wide!

Looking again at the crisscrossed gulfs on the ground, a terrifying thought arose in Chen Xuan’s mind.

Could these shattered scars on the earth have been carved by her sword?

To easily alter the terrain and flatten mountains, even nuclear bombs paled in comparison before her.

Why was this person wielding such a sword?

Chen Xuan gazed up for a long time, finally understanding who her enemy was.

The figure was battling the all-encompassing darkness.

The pitch-black sky was far from empty; instead, it concealed foes beyond his imagination—sometimes sudden dark swords, other times long spears formed of shadows... The opponent seemed to wield countless arms, its size enormous, and the entire firmament was a part of the enemy!
