298: Chapter 296 This is not a discussion, it is an order

At the end of the Void Realm channel, the bright exit that should have led to the Upper Realm was currently being frantically swallowed by a darkness so deep it was despair-inducing.

The surrounding space looked like a painting torn apart by some violent, immense force; the originally stable lines of Law were snapping one by one, turning into chaotic colors across the sky, only to be quickly annihilated in absolute nothingness.

The violent spatial turbulence, like billions of invisible, giant guillotines, was frantically cutting into the defensive light barrier on the exterior of the star sea wave breaker.

"They intend to bury us along with this Void Realm!" Gu Qiuyue pressed her hands tightly onto the star chart, sweat rolling down her forehead like a waterfall.

Her eyes, usually adept at calculation, were currently filled with gravity.

The guiding light on the star chart was flickering violently, and the star points representing the coordinates ahead were extinguishing in large swathes.

"Want to bury me alive? Keep dreaming!"

Located in the engine room at the very bottom of the ship, Su Hongling let out a heaven-shaking roar.

Her clothes had long been steamed dry by her blood energy, and on her bronze skin, those dark golden battle patterns seemed like burning flames.

The supreme power of a Mahayana Stage Body Cultivator was squeezed to its limit by her, her legs turning into two blurred red lights as she stomped fiercely onto that massive bronze wheel.

"Break for me! Break! Break!"

Accompanied by Su Hongling's roar, the bronze wheel emitted an unbearable creaking sound, and the entire star sea wave breaker, like an enraged Primordial Dragon, forcibly smashed a straight path through this collapsing Void Realm, frantically pushing forward toward the last glimmer of light above.

On the deck, the gale howled.

Su Lin, wearing a Starlight Dharma Robe, stood at the bow with his hands behind his back.

In his deep eyes, a galaxy rotated in his left eye, while Chaos was just beginning to open in his right.

He ignored the Void Realm storms around him that were strong enough to shred an Integration Stage Great Power, instead immersing all his focus into his Dantian.

There, the seed formed by the Fusion of three world cores had already broken through its shell, and the tender world tree seedling, exuding an aura of endless creation, was greedily absorbing the collapsing Space Law from the outside.

The root system of this seedling was firmly anchored in Su Lin's inner world, and with every sway, a surge of immensely powerful Chaotic Spiritual Qi was fed back, supporting him in maintaining the stability of the ship.

"Revered Master, the path ahead has been completely blocked!"

Mu Qingxue's cold voice came through the gale.

She held the ice soul concentration tassel, attempting to forcibly freeze the spatial rifts that were approaching the ship.

However, facing the collapse of an entire dimension, even Mystic Ice could only block them for half a breath's time.

Su Lin looked up, following Mu Qingxue's gaze.

He saw that at the end of the channel, at the exit leading to the Upper Realm, an incomparably huge golden net had woven itself together at some unknown time.

That net was entirely condensed from supreme Immortal Dao Laws, and every strand of the net flashed with blinding thunder and the majestic light of judgment.

That was the absolute kill formation set up by the Heavenly Court.

It spanned between the two realms like an impassable chasm, existing specifically to erase the massive energy entities attempting to smuggle themselves through.

"They calculated our ship's size and energy level; this net is a grave tailored specifically for us."

Luo Ximei had approached Su Lin at some point; her white-golden heterochromatic eyes were fixed on that giant golden net, her tone filled with deep apprehension.

With a celestial kill formation of this scale, even if she detonated all the True Immortal Origin within her body, it would be impossible to blast it open in an instant.

"Charging through is certain death." Su Lin's expression was calm, without a shred of panic.

His eyes, which seemed capable of discerning all things in heaven and earth, scanned the patterns of the golden giant net rapidly, searching for a glimmer of life.

The ship's shield was peeling off layer by layer.

The nine phantom images of Imperial Golden Dragons summoned by Cold Moon had already begun to emit shrill cries under the pressure exuded by the golden net, their dragon scales shattering in large patches.

"Listen to my order."

Su Lin's voice suddenly echoed simultaneously in the Sea of Consciousness of his seven disciples, carrying an irresistible majesty and decisiveness.

"This ship's target is too large; it is impossible to pass through that Immortal Dao Law net. If we continue to stay together, we will only become a giant target, instantly evaporated by that kill formation."

"Old Man, what do you mean by that?!" Su Hongling roared in the bottom cabin, "Are we abandoning the ship?!"

"Not abandoning the ship, but breaking into pieces." Su Lin spoke rapidly, his hands weaving seals at his chest at high speed.

Following his movements, the Myriad Heavens Star Chart at his glabella erupted from his body, transforming into a vast star chart in mid-air that covered the sky and sun.

On the star chart, seven of the most brilliant stars suddenly lit up, emitting a soft yet indestructible spatial halo.

"I will use the Origin power of the star chart to reshape a layer of spatial barrier for each of you. I will use the destiny immortal sword to forcibly tear open seven tiny cracks in the weak spots of that golden giant net."

Su Lin's gaze swept over the people present one by one, his tone becoming unprecedentedly solemn.

"These seven cracks can only accommodate one person each, and the coordinates are extremely random. You will be teleported to different territories of the Upper Realm to avoid concentrated investigation."

"No! Revered Master! We want to be with you!" Cold Moon's face, usually majestic, was now filled with terror and refusal.

As the Empress of Southern Yu, she could face any formidable enemy, but she could not accept being separated from Revered Master again.

"This is not a negotiation, it is an order!"

Su Lin shouted, a majestic power that could not be resisted erupting from his body.

He knew well that this was the only way to preserve the lives of all his disciples.

The dangers of the Upper Realm far exceeded those of the Lower Realm; if they continued to gather around him, an anomaly heavily marked by the Heavenly Dao, it would only invite endless high-dimensional strikes.

"Revered Master!!!"

Su Lin swung the destiny immortal sword in his right hand violently.

The dark golden sword light transformed into seven rays of light, as thin as silk but sharp to the extreme, precisely piercing into the seven tiny nodes of that golden giant net.

"Break!"

Accompanied by Su Lin's roar, those seven nodes were forcibly torn open, creating seven tiny gaps that could only allow one person to pass through.

Su Lin pushed his left hand violently, and the seven star capsules wrapping Cold Moon, Su Hongling, Luo Ximei, Mu Qingxue, Ye You, and Gu Qiuyue shot into those seven cracks instantly like seven meteors flying in reverse.

Light flickered, the cracks healed in the blink of an eye, and the auras of the seven disciples completely vanished from this collapsing Void Realm.

Su Lin let out a long breath, looking at the empty deck; although there was endless reluctance in his heart, he knew this was the best arrangement.

As long as they were alive, with their peerless Prodigy Aptitude, they would surely be able to stir up a storm in the Upper Realm.

And for him, as long as he followed the sensing of the star chart, there would eventually be a day of reunion.

"Now, it is time for me myself..."

Su Lin was preparing to condense a star capsule for himself and find a hidden gap to squeeze through.

However.

The moment he turned around, his entire body froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

At the edge of the deck, in the shadows where there should have been no one.

A petite figure in a moon-white long dress was standing there quietly.

Chu Weiwei.

She had not been teleported away.

Or rather, she had forcibly stayed behind.

"Why are you still here?!" Su Lin's expression changed drastically; he clearly remembered condensing seven star capsules and locking onto Chu Weiwei's aura as well.

Chu Weiwei raised her head slightly, and on that pure, stunningly beautiful face, there was currently a smile that was extremely eerie and sweet to the extreme.

In those purple eyes, two heart-shaped pupils were jumping frantically, exuding a kind of hair-raising fanaticism and paranoia.

"How could Weiwei bear to leave Revered Master?"

Chu Weiwei's voice was so soft it seemed it could drip water, and she took a step, slowly walking toward Su Lin.

Only then did Su Lin discover with horror that at Chu Weiwei's left wrist, blinding purple-golden blood was flowing.

And those blood drops did not fall onto the deck but transformed into countless fine blood threads like spider silk.

Following the blood threads, Su Lin suddenly felt a piercing pain in his right arm.

At some point, those blood threads condensed from Chu Weiwei's Medicine Immortal Origin had silently pierced through the defense of his Dharma Robe, deeply piercing into the Meridians and flesh of his right arm!

This was not ordinary poison; it was the Life and Death Companion Gu, which Chu Weiwei had spent a hundred years of effort and integrated countless ancient forbidden pharmacological theories to tailor specifically for Su Lin!

This Gu poison did not need to be swallowed, nor did it need to be activated by spiritual power; it only recognized Bloodline and Divine Soul.

Once planted, the Meridians of the Gu caster and the one poisoned would be completely linked, living and dying together.

"You... are you crazy?!" Su Lin wanted to forcibly shake off those blood threads but found that the Gu poison had already merged with his own extraordinary Meridians; if he cut it off forcibly, not only would he be severely injured, but Chu Weiwei would have her Divine Soul destroyed on the spot!

"Weiwei is not crazy."

Chu Weiwei walked up to Su Lin, reached out her hands naturally, and hugged Su Lin's waist.

She pressed her cheek tightly against Su Lin's chest, feeling the heart beating violently there, and let out a sigh of satisfaction to the extreme.

"Weiwei just... loves Revered Master too much."

"Senior Sister and the others all have great ambitions; they want to make achievements and leave their names in this world, but Weiwei does not."

Chu Weiwei raised her head, her eyes revealing a suffocating madness.

"Weiwei's world is very small, so small that it can only hold Revered Master alone. Wherever Revered Master goes, Weiwei goes. Whether it is Heaven, or Hell, or even this endless Void Realm shattering... as long as I can die with Revered Master, Weiwei is the happiest woman in the world."

"You wicked disciple!" Su Lin gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

At the moment the two were entangled, the star sea wave breaker, having lost the spiritual power support of the seven, could no longer withstand the pressure of this collapsing world.

That huge golden immortal dao net pressed down with a roar, and the violent power of destruction swallowed the entire ship instantly like a tsunami.

The Primordial Dragon Bone emitted an unbearable wail, and the magnificent pavilion turned into flying ash in an instant.

"Hold me tight!"

At this final moment of life and death, Su Lin could no longer care about scolding Chu Weiwei.

He hugged Chu Weiwei's slender waist tightly with his backhand, driving the defense of the Myriad Heavens Star Chart to the extreme.

A layer of golden starlight, thick enough to be almost tangible, tightly wrapped the two of them.

Immediately after, Su Lin swung the destiny immortal sword, hacking all the Chaotic power fed back from the world tree seedling in his body toward the very center of the golden giant net ahead.

A blinding Chaotic sword light forcibly tore a gap over one person high in the destructive golden net.

Su Lin, holding Chu Weiwei, turned into a streak of light and crashed into that gap.

The next moment, the ship completely disintegrated, and the terrifying explosion completely smoothed out that piece of the Void Realm.

And the figures of Su Lin and Chu Weiwei were also swept into the violent space-time storm.

...

Pain like tearing the Soul.

This was the first sensation Su Lin felt after regaining consciousness.

He struggled to open his eyes; before him was a gray sky and several towering ancient trees, all presenting a dark golden color.

The trunks of these ancient trees were shockingly thick, their bark like metal poured, exuding an extremely ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

"Cough, cough..."

Su Lin tried to sit up, but it triggered a bout of violent coughing.

He immediately inspected his body internally to investigate the situation.

Terrible.

In order to protect Chu Weiwei in the space-time storm, he had almost exhausted all his spiritual power and Divine Soul foundation.

His Meridians were as dry as cracked earth, and that originally majestic Star God Nascent Soul had also become dim, sitting cross-legged in his Qi Sea in a deep sleep.

However, the good news was that he was still alive.

Moreover, the world tree seedling in his body was slowly absorbing the energy drifting in the surrounding air, feeding back into his damaged body.

Wait, energy?

Su Lin took a deep breath, and a light of shock instantly erupted in his deep eyes.

What was permeated in this air was not the ordinary Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm at all.

This aura was thick and viscous; after inhaling it into his lungs, it was like swallowing a mouthful of mercury, heavy, but the vitality and purity of the Law contained within it were a hundred or a thousand times that of the Lower Realm's Spiritual Qi!

"Immortal Qi... this is true Immortal Qi!"

Su Lin's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

They had passed through that death channel and truly arrived at the Upper Realm!

That is, the so-called Taiahuang Immortal Domain, which regarded the Lower Realm as an orchard!

It's just that the Laws of this Upper Realm were far too powerful.

Su Lin could clearly feel that the stability of the space here was simply outrageous.

In the Lower Realm, he could tear the Void Realm with a casual swipe.

But here, he felt as if he was soaked in a huge piece of transparent gel; let alone tearing space, even if he wanted to fly, he would probably need to spend a great deal of effort.

This was the suppression of a high-dimensional world.

"Revered Master..."

An extremely weak voice, yet carrying endless attachment, sounded at Su Lin's chest.

Su Lin lowered his head and discovered that Chu Weiwei was still hugging him tightly.

Her situation looked even worse than Su Lin's.

That moon-white Medicine Immortal long dress had long been torn into strips of cloth in the space-time storm, with large areas of snow-white, delicate skin exposed, covered in small bloodstains.

But she did not care about her own injuries.

Chu Weiwei slowly opened her eyes, and those crystal-clear purple eyes erupted with unprecedented brightness the moment they saw Su Lin.

She struggled to prop up her body and looked around.

She did not see that frost that was always cold and biting, did not see that black great sword as wide as a door panel, did not see that myriad soul banner exuding Devilish Qi, and did not see that high-and-mighty Empress dragon robe.

Quiet.

Besides those strange towering ancient trees, there was no one else's aura.

Chu Weiwei was stunned.

Subsequently, a smile bloomed on her cheeks bit by bit.

That smile grew larger and larger, more and more bright, even revealing a morbid ecstasy that made people's spines chill.

"Gone..."

"They are all gone..."

Chu Weiwei's voice trembled violently because of excitement; she threw herself into Su Lin's arms, hugging Su Lin's neck tightly with both hands, rubbing her cheek frantically against Su Lin's face.

"Great! This is really great!"
