Entering the outer void

The Outer Void.

It is the place longed for by countless Cultivators of the Qianyuan Continent.

Having been immersed in his surroundings, it was impossible for Su Ming not to long for it.

However, leaving the Qianyuan Continent was also a very risky endeavor for Su Ming.

After all, the Heavens Mandate that sought to directly strangle him lay just outside this world.

As the heaven-reaching pagoda continuously ascended, Su Ming's mood grew increasingly uneasy.

Just as he was considering whether to use Heavens Mandate Vision to observe the situation in the Outer Void, a slightly reproachful female voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"It is too early for you to step into the Outer Void now."

Considering Su Ming was currently inside the heaven-reaching pagoda, those capable of bypassing its defenses and leaving a message directly in his mind were few and far between.

Combined with the fact that it was a female voice, Su Ming immediately knew who was speaking.

"Perhaps, but with the Alien Race currently invading the Qianyuan Continent, I cannot stand idly by."

"So, Sister Die, could you please lend me a hand?"

Su Ming deliberately used a more intimate address, hoping the other party would accept him more easily.

After he finished speaking, the other party fell into a long silence.

Just as Su Ming couldn't help but want to proactively ask, Little Die gave her answer.

"Young Lord... I will handle the matter of the Black Night Courtyard for you. Please do not come to the Void Realm for now."

Su Ming distinctly sensed a hint of... excitement in her tone, though he didn't know why.

"This..." Facing Little Die's dissuasion, Su Ming pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"I have to go to the Outer Void sooner or later, so why not take this Opportunity?"

"Besides, I also want to meet you, Sister Die."

The other side fell silent again, only giving a reply when the heaven-reaching pagoda began to touch the Qianyuan Continent's World Barrier.

"Since it is the Young Lord's request, Yu Die naturally respects it..."

After speaking, the World Barrier before them opened a gap, and Su Ming was finally able to see the true appearance of the Outer Void.

The moment he saw it, a similar answer automatically formed in his mind.

The Universe.

The sight of the Outer Void was very similar to the images of the Universe he had seen in his previous life.

However, compared to the Universe, it was even more mysterious and abundant.

Countless worlds and countless Opportunities were now laid open before Su Ming.

But accompanying this was boundless malice.

This feeling was identical to the malice Su Ming had sensed when he planned to eliminate Chu Fan in the Secret Realm.

Su Ming immediately activated Heavens Mandate Vision.

Next, he saw countless hideous branches attempting to encircle and strangle him.

This feeling filled Su Ming's heart with rage.

Why?

Why must he alone endure this damned, unfair fate?

These branches extending toward him ultimately passed through both sides of Su Ming's body before changing direction and departing.

Meanwhile, the interior of the heaven-reaching pagoda was also emitting light, clearly indicating it had helped Su Ming resolve the Heavens Mandate's lock.

If not for the heaven-reaching pagoda, Su Ming might never have had the chance to enter the Outer Void in this lifetime.

At the same time, a graceful figure appeared behind Su Ming.

A pair of jade hands quietly slipped past both sides of Su Ming's body and covered his eyes directly.

"Young Master, I finally get to see you and touch you with my own eyes."

Listening to this gentle voice, Su Ming suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Especially since those hands were continuously groping downward, almost crossing his waist.

Unable to bear it, Su Ming immediately broke free from the hands' control, then looked at the woman behind him with a panicked expression.

He had to admit that Yu Die was far more beautiful in appearance than the still-developing Luo Ningshuang.

Especially her Phoenix Eyes, which were exceptionally alluring.

Yet, for some reason, looking at the Yu Die before him made Su Ming feel far more terrified than when he saw the Heavens Mandate.

It was as if... the other party intended to "eat him up completely."

"The Young Master's appearance... is truly adorable."

Yu Die said, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, appearing extremely seductive.

However, Su Ming only wanted to say one thing now: Sister, I'm still young, and I don't want to ride a big truck yet.

"Ahem, Sister Die, I came this time to solve a problem... Could we please discuss serious matters first?" Su Ming said awkwardly.

"Since the Young Master wishes so, Yu Die shall respectfully obey."

As she spoke, she winked at Su Ming, then opened her hand and placed a Navigation Chart before him.

"This is the Navigation Route Map to the Black Night Courtyard. When traveling in the Outer Void, a Navigation Chart is extremely important. Young Master must not deviate at all, or extremely dangerous things will occur..."

As Yu Die said this, she finally dropped her previous demeanor, appearing incredibly serious and earnest.

Su Ming slowly nodded upon hearing this, then accepted the Navigation Route Map.

Aided by the Innate Dao Bone, he instantly grasped how to read the Navigation Route Map and piloted the heaven-reaching pagoda toward the Black Night Domain.

After entering the Outer Void, the heaven-reaching pagoda no longer needed to suppress its speed and could even perform short-distance Spatial Leaps.

Yu Die cautioned Su Ming once more: "Young Master, do not proceed at full speed. Two-tenths speed is enough."

"This is the Outer Void, a gathering place for countless Powerful Experts and nefarious characters. Your heaven-reaching pagoda is not an ordinary treasure; if it stands out too much, others will covet it."

"I see, thank you for informing me, Sister Die. Are there any other rules in the Outer Void? Please tell me everything."

"There are no rules in the Outer Void. What I've told you are just common sense for self-preservation. If you are strong enough, you can naturally ignore these details."

As Yu Die spoke, she hugged Su Ming from behind, her ample bosom pressing directly against his back, and her chin resting on Su Ming's forehead.

Facing this situation, Su Ming immediately told himself to remain calm.

Fortunately, Yu Die made no further movements after this, instead patiently explaining various matters concerning the Outer Void to Su Ming.

Along the way, Su Ming saw a type of Vicious Beast that only existed in the Outer Void—the Star Devouring Beast.

They possessed Void Realm cultivation from birth and enjoyed feeding on Planetary Worlds.

Just after Yu Die finished introducing it, this massive Star Devouring Beast was swept into the void turbulence and instantly turned into dust.

Only at this moment did Su Ming understand how many dangers were hidden within this tranquil Void Realm, and why Yu Die had warned him to strictly follow the Navigation Route Map.

Beneath the calm exterior, treacherous undercurrents constantly churned...
