Hidden World!

?

It completely collapsed, completely about to vanish, disappearing into the Void Black Hole. The Void was something no one had ever truly touched—that was an endless black hole. There was nothing inside the black hole, yet it possessed the power to devour everything!

?

Ye Tianchen, the big man with the blade on his back, and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm had never expected that the death of Roma Vulcan would cause the Hidden World to vanish so quickly, would cause the Void Black Hole to turn into a Fierce Beast and sweep over everything. This was something no one had anticipated. Moreover, Roma Vulcan was an incomparably vicious old bastard; he had even left behind a killing move. Those manifested Buddha statues, one after another, blocked the path of the three of them, forcing their trio to slow down their charge out of the Hidden World. Once that happened, the danger of being swallowed by the Void Black Hole increased by a great deal!

?

In this situation, Ye Tianchen chose to stay behind. By nature he was someone who dared to shoulder responsibility, and even more, someone who loved adventure. A Void Black Hole—this was a situation never before seen. Since someone had to stay behind to block that Void Black Hole for a moment and buy time for the others to escape, Ye Tianchen chose that person to be himself!

?

At this moment, the big man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm had already rushed out of the Hidden World, yet naturally refused to leave. They both stared anxiously at the shrinking, closing black hole of the Hidden World. They knew full well that Ye Tianchen was still inside; if he could not rush out, he would definitely die in there. This was something beyond any doubt.

?

"Void Black Hole, it’s so damn powerful!" the big man with the blade on his back could not help cursing aloud.

?

"The Void Black Hole—this is a nightmare for Martial Artists across the entire world. I truly cannot imagine, before reaching the Emperor Realm, who would dare not fear a Void Black Hole..." the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm said with a frown.

?

Void Black Hole, as the name implied, was a black hole that appeared within the Void. What was the Void? It was the boundary between one interface and another, a place where nothing existed, yet where everything could be devoured. The power within the Void could erase all things. No matter how strong you were, survival was nearly impossible. The Martial Arts World had once had such examples: powerful Martial Artists in the Saint Realm entered the Void and never came out alive. Thus, the Void became a taboo for all Cultivators. Once you stepped into the Void, there had never been a precedent of anyone surviving and returning. This naturally led everyone to believe that if one wished to freely enter and exit the Void and emerge without a single hair harmed, one would at least need the strength of the Emperor Realm. As for whether those peerless powerhouses who truly reached the Emperor Realm could break the taboo of the Void being unenterable—no one knew. After all, having reached such a height, their deeds were not something ordinary people could know!

?

"Brother Ye, you must come out alive, otherwise this old brother of yours will never be at peace for the rest of his life!" The big man with the blade on his back clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.

?

"This young friend is an anomaly, possessing a Taoist Heart that charges ever forward. I hope he can be a special exception!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm could only speak in a tone of prayer.

?

Rumble!

?

Buzz!

?

Unfortunately, it seemed that the prayers of the big man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm were of no use at all. The Hidden World gradually disappeared, and the Void Black Hole slowly closed, slowly vanishing between heaven and earth. In the end, only a single black line remained. As soon as that strand of black line disappeared, the Void Black Hole would be considered completely closed—and even a god immortal would find it hard to save anyone then!

?

"Brother Ye..." The big man with the blade on his back could not help but shout loudly. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

?

"Young friend, you should not have..." The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm also spoke in deep anguish.

?

Swish!

?

It vanished. The Void Black Hole still vanished. This meant Ye Tianchen was dead, utterly unable to come out alive. Even powerhouses in the Saint Realm could not possibly rush out alive from within a Void Black Hole—could Ye Tianchen accomplish it? No one would believe that. Even though the big man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm felt that Ye Tianchen might be an anomaly who truly could survive, when they saw the Void Black Hole completely close and the Hidden World utterly disappear, they still had no choice but to accept this reality: Ye Tianchen could not come out. At first they had thought he would be able to rush out through that last remaining slit just before the Void Black Hole closed, but now it seemed that everything had been nothing more than wishful thinking!

?

"Brother Ye, this old brother has wronged you. I shouldn’t have let you take that risk!" The big man with the blade on his back roared toward the sky.

?

"We cannot allow this young friend to die for us just like this. He is an anomaly, a great talent. We will cleave open this Void Black Hole and save him!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm also roared in boundless fury.

?

"Right, tear open the Void Black Hole and rescue Brother Ye!" Killing intent filled the eyes of the big man with the blade on his back as he spoke.

?

It had to be said, the big man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm were truly men of great loyalty. With Ye Tianchen trapped in such peril, they were willing to risk their own lives, stubbornly determined to cleave open the Void Black Hole and drag Ye Tianchen out. One had to know that such an action, in the Martial Arts World, was already considered sheer madness!

?

Thud!

?

Who could have known that right at this moment, with a deafening boom, a figure holding a Longsword blasted out from the Void and in an instant arrived in front of the burly man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm. The two of them were both stunned, simply unable to believe it, because the person standing before them was Ye Tianchen!

?

"Big bro, senior, I made you worry. I’m fine!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile, Zhanlu Sword in hand.

?

"Brother, you... you actually forced your way out?" The burly man with the blade on his back couldn’t help blurting out in surprise and delight.

?

"An anomaly, this young friend really is an anomaly, hahahaha!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm also said happily.

?

Ye Tianchen glanced at the burly man with the blade on his back and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, feeling extremely grateful. At the very least, he felt these two were friends worth making. In order to buy them time to escape from the Hidden World, he had risked his life and almost ended up with both body and soul annihilated. And after he fell into danger, they didn’t sink into despair; instead, they had been willing to take insane measures to cleave open that Void Black Hole and drag him out!

?

?

"Being able to come out alive... even I didn’t expect that!" Ye Tianchen said, still with lingering fear.

?

"Brother Ye, you’re just too badass. Even a powerhouse in the Saint Realm might not be able to charge out of a Void Black Hole like you did!" The burly man with the blade on his back patted Ye Tianchen’s shoulder and laughed.

?

"He truly is an anomaly!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm also nodded with a smile.

?

"Big bro, senior, to be honest, I myself never thought I’d be able to rush out of that Void Black Hole. I had already fallen into despair. If it weren’t for this Zhanlu Sword, I’d really have died in there!" Ye Tianchen looked at the Zhanlu Sword in his hand and said gratefully.

?

"What? The Zhanlu Sword saved you again?" The burly man with the blade on his back asked in some astonishment.

?

"Looks like this Zhanlu Sword has extremely strong spiritual nature, and it contains countless mysteries within itself!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm also said in a surprised tone.

?

"Yeah!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

?

It turned out that when Ye Tianchen turned around, the Void Black Hole was like a savage beast pouncing to devour him. Ye Tianchen had no choice but to strike out and bombard that Void Black Hole. Unfortunately, no matter what power he blasted into it, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, without the slightest response. In the end, Ye Tianchen was swallowed into the Void Black Hole!

?

This was his first time entering a Void Black Hole. Before, Ye Tianchen had only ever seen it from the outside and had never gone inside. He knew that entering a Void Black Hole meant stepping into a situation of nine deaths and no life, but he was not someone who would sit and wait for death or easily give up. After entering the Void Black Hole, Ye Tianchen immediately felt his whole body tighten, as if both his flesh and his Divine Thought were about to shatter. It was a kind of invisible power, a kind of invisible pressure—completely unseen, completely undetectable. Precisely because of such an aura, one felt it was simply too dangerous. It was an unfathomable terror: you had no idea where the terror came from, no idea where death would come from—that was what made people feel most on the verge of collapse!

?

Bang!

?

Bang!

?

Bang!

?

Ye Tianchen kept blasting out fist-lights, trying to block that terrifying aura, wanting to erase that horrific feeling in himself. However, no matter how many punches Ye Tianchen threw out, all that power scattered in all directions without stirring up the slightest ripple. Facing the surrounding Dark, Ye Tianchen’s powerful Divine Thought couldn’t detect anything at all; it was as if everything was a blank, with only that invisible pressure, that invisible Magic Law shrouding the entire world, while he himself was nothing but an insignificant speck within this world. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t stir up any Wind at all—there wasn’t even an echo. That kind of aura was what was truly terrifying.

?

Unseen, untouchable, unreachable—under these circumstances, it was the easiest for a person to collapse and despair, even to be scared into suicide and end it all themselves. Only now did Ye Tianchen understand how truly terrifying the Void Black Hole was. Even he felt a sense of despair. The dreadful aura, the invisible oppression, the feeling that both his flesh and Divine Thought were about to be crushed, slowly closed in. No matter how he struck back, it was useless. That feeling didn’t fade in the slightest; that power was deeply rooted, as if it had already ordained that he would die here, that both his body and soul would be annihilated here. He couldn’t save himself, and no one else could save him either!

?

It was just an instant—only the instant he entered the Void Black Hole—yet Ye Tianchen already felt on the verge of collapse, an overwhelming wave of despair crashing into him. He realized that the terror of the Void Black Hole might really be something he could not withstand, that he would die here... (To be continued.
