124: Harvest and the Void World

Xu Le was unaware of the turmoil in the outside world. After being pushed into the Void Realm, his vision went dark, and he immediately wanted to crawl back.

But it was completely useless; the world membrane that had previously rippled like water had simply vanished.

Let alone using brute force, he didn't even have the opportunity to try.

He threw punches and skills fiercely, but they only struck the air, completely different from how things worked outside.

There was no going back!

"No wonder they used illusions to create fire men to scare me. It was all to force me into the Void Realm so that my body would be tainted with its aura."

"But if I didn't have the 'Void Evasion' skill and fought those fire men head-on, wouldn't they have been exposed?"

"With the melee and defense capabilities I've shown, they definitely wouldn't be able to win."

"So, they were one hundred percent sure I would use the Void Evasion skill."

"But I've never used Void Evasion before!"

Xu Le's gaze was dark, certain that the rewards he received from the 'Hope Cup' competition had been leaked.

Even the equipment and skills he chose were carefully arranged by them.

One was named Tang Yunjing, and the other was Wu Zheyuan.

Old monsters from the Tang Family and the Imperial Family?

After reflecting for a moment, Xu Le began to observe the appearance of the Void Realm seriously.

The sky and earth were pitch black, with no ground beneath his feet; he felt as if he were floating in the air.

Xu Le snapped his fingers, and Nine Phoenix flew out.

Her fiery red feathers burned like flames, barely illuminating about a meter of space.

In the pitch-black Void Realm, tiny dust particles floated. It was somewhat similar to outer space, with no gravity and no way to distinguish up, down, left, or right.

Xu Le could only judge based on his current floating posture that above his head was up and below his feet was down.

What was even more difficult was that there was no air in the Void Realm. With his current Physique, he could probably last for about two hours.

But after two hours, he would suffocate to death.

He had to find a way to survive.

Xu Le first handed all the Souls of the Magic Fire Puppets to Little Silly Crow. After communicating with it, he had it hand them over to the divine statue.

The top priority skills were definitely 'Earth Fire Flowing Slurry' and 'Raise Fire to Burn the Heavens.' These two area-of-effect skills were much, much stronger than Meteor Fire Rain.

Because they were extremely suitable for Nine Phoenix, Xu Le directly chose the specialized skills that consumed fewer fragments.

After making arrangements, Xu Le then rummaged through Tang Qianchuan's space ring, prioritizing various items.

Xu Le actually found an Advanced Formation Plate—the Nine-Nine Divine Firmament Myriad Thunder Formation.

It required eighty-one Advanced magic-class professionals to set up, so it was useless for now.

Three Forbidden Curses.

Two Earth-element and one Lightning-element.

However, although Forbidden Curses were powerful, they mostly dealt area damage and weren't very effective against high-defense experts like Xu Le.

At the time, Tang Qianchuan probably thought Xu Le would spare those Tang Family branch Disciples to preserve some of their lineage, so he hadn't been willing to use them.

A set of legendary-grade equipment for magic classes—the Dark Moon Mystery Set, including a top, pants, hat, ring, and staff, but it required level 80 to equip.

There was also a pretty good item—the Clone Puppet.

It could create a Puppet to attract enemies when danger approached, while the real body hid nearby.

The rest were just miscellaneous things of no use.

Xu Le scanned the space rings of the others briefly. Besides equipment, there were some potions for health, mana, and temporary combat boosts.

In summary, there were many miscellaneous items, but very few that were actually useful.

Most likely, everything was in the Tang Family treasury, but unfortunately, it had all gone to others for nothing.

After searching for a while, Xu Le found a compass.

Taking it out, he found it was completely useless; there was no magnetic field, so naturally, it couldn't distinguish directions.

Throw it away!

Void trash +1.

Xu Le could only rely on himself to find a way out, flapping his wings and flying into the distance.

Nine Phoenix considerately split into nine Clones, divided into three rows—top, middle, and bottom—illuminating a large area of space as they led the way.

Time passed slowly.

Xu Le felt it increasingly difficult to breathe. His lungs were like broken bellows, wheezing loudly but unable to take in any Qi.

"Master Brother, I feel so uncomfortable."

Nine Phoenix couldn't take it either. She flew to Xu Le's side, showing a rare, pitiful expression.

Just as Xu Le was about to put Nine Phoenix into the Contract Space, he suddenly remembered that Little Peach Tree was a tree and could theoretically produce oxygen, so he immediately released it.

Instantly, rich oxygen filled his nasal cavity and entered his respiratory tract, turning into cool energy that nourished his entire body.

Xu Le used Mind Link to ask Little Peach Tree, "How long can you last producing oxygen here?"

"Long, long, long..."

Little Peach Tree couldn't speak yet, but the thought of a very long time was transmitted into Xu Le's mind.

Theoretically, trees need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water for photosynthesis to produce oxygen.

But Little Peach Tree possessed the 'Spiritual Domain' skill and was an Earthly Spiritual Root, so producing oxygen in the Void Realm seemed acceptable.

Oxygen problem solved.

After Xu Le and Nine Phoenix had absorbed enough oxygen, they continued forward, summoning Little Peach Tree to rest whenever they couldn't hold on... Time passed slowly.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Two dark figures appeared at the Tang Family Cemetery.

Heavenly Leader Star took out a rune and instantly tore open the Void Realm.

He hurriedly threw a black spider inside.

As soon as the spider entered the Void Realm, it opened its eyes to look around, but it failed to find any trace of Xu Le.

Heavenly Leader Star withdrew from the spider's shared vision and checked his phone for videos. When he confirmed that the location where Xu Le disappeared was right here, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn it, young people these days really have no experience. Even elementary school students know that if you're lost, you should stay in place and wait for rescue."

"He just had to wander around. Doesn't he realize the Void Realm is a completely different world? How could he possibly find his way back?"

"If he runs into terrifying Void Creatures, he'll probably be killed instantly."

"The Puppet Spider can't be wasted. Keep searching!"

...Time passed slowly.

Xu Le rested ten times and felt that about 24 hours had passed. He directly pulled out a large bed and had Little Peach Tree tie it down with its roots.

The other contracted beasts stood around, ready to help.

With everything arranged, he went straight to sleep.

In his dream.

Hearing intense fighting sounds, Xu Le immediately sat up.

He saw that the enemy was a monster over a hundred and thirty meters long, resembling a black snake.

It had no eyes, was covered in thick scales, and had an enormous head.

Its hideous mouth opened, swallowing the fastest-charging Little Demon Monkey whole.

The other contracted beasts exerted their full strength, desperately releasing skills.

But after so much time, they hadn't even managed to knock off a single scale.

"Holy crap, don't tell me Little Demon Monkey is dead already!"

Xu Le grew anxious and hurriedly used 'Divine Eye.'

White light flashed, but the opponent's information was not revealed at all.

"Since I can't find a weakness, I'll just go with the most violent approach."

Destiny Link!

All of Nine Phoenix's attributes and skills were shared with him.
