109: Chapter 109 Rumors can kill!

"Hmm? Interesting!"

Just as the Flying Boat from the Xingyuan Continent appeared near the Xuantian Continent...

Wang Chen sensed it immediately.

However...

Wang Chen didn't pay it much mind because he could sense that the people on the Flying Boat weren't very strong.

They weren't worth his personal attention yet.

Although he didn't care...

...it didn't mean he would just ignore it.

He could still sense the complex Formation on that Flying Boat; it was definitely not a product of Small Worlds like theirs.

Furthermore...

Their Tianxuan Dynasty didn't have such high-end goods that could travel through the Void Realm yet!

As they devoured more and more worlds, the area of the Xuantian Continent was also constantly expanding.

When the time comes...

...traveling between different places might be a bit troublesome for low-level Martial Artists if the distances are too great.

If they had this kind of Flying Boat, it would likely be much more convenient.

As the saying goes...

"To get rich, first build a road." What is the reason for building roads?

Isn't it just to make future travel in all directions more convenient?

It was precisely with this thought in mind...

...that Wang Chen directly issued an imperial decree to hand over full authority of this matter to Master Guzhen.

The Flying Boat was covered in Formations, which perfectly matched Master Guzhen's expertise; handing it to him couldn't be more appropriate.

After receiving the Dynasty's decree...

Master Guzhen didn't hesitate and, with a flicker of his body, appeared in the Void Realm outside the Xuantian Continent.

As a being of the Cave Heaven Realm...

...crossing the Void Realm alone was a simple matter.

Meanwhile, on the Flying Boat...

A group of prodigies from the Xingyuan Continent had all calmed down after a brief moment of panic.

Moreover...

...many of them also showed expressions of eager excitement.

If they were going to a Great World...

...then they might still be apprehensive; after all, Great Worlds have many powerhouses, and they certainly wouldn't dare to be presumptuous there.

But conversely...

...going to a Small World was different.

Although they weren't very strong, according to their understanding, the strongest people in the Small Worlds at The Borderlands of the Star Domain were only at the Land Immortal Realm.

Looking at the strength of their group, while they might not reign supreme over those Small Worlds...

...at the very least...

...they certainly wouldn't be inferior to the natives of those Small Worlds!

Plus, with the backing of their status from a Medium World, once they arrived in these Small Worlds, they would be like Retired Emperors.

After all...

...they were just a group of young people, and their vanity was quite strong.

At the thought of going to a Small World and being treated like Retired Emperors, their hearts couldn't help but grow fervent.

As the Flying Boat continued forward...

The outline of a massive world gradually appeared before their eyes.

"Look, what is that?"

"It's a Small World. I hope this world isn't too weak..."

"Yeah, if this world is too barren, it will be even harder to successfully repair our Flying Boat!"

"Haha... if it's too weak, we'll just spend some effort to guide their Cultivation. That would be a great act of Karma for us..."

"Well said! I'm almost impatient. I really wonder how weak such a Small World will be..."

...

The atmosphere on the scene...

...suddenly became lively, and a hint of curiosity appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Something's not right!"

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing how to guide the Martial Artists of that Small World in their Cultivation...

...a sudden voice...

...rang out directly in everyone's ears.

They saw...

...their Senior Brother Lin Xiao looking at the distant Small World with a solemn expression.

"Wha... what's wrong, Senior Brother? Is something wrong?"

The people around also looked at Lin Xiao with confused expressions.

They didn't understand...

...why their usually steady Senior Brother was suddenly so agitated.

"Look closely. That is definitely not an ordinary Small World. Can a Small World be that massive?"

"Also, feel carefully. As we get closer, isn't the power of the Laws around us becoming more and more dense?"

"The power of the Laws is already this dense while we're still so far from that world. Imagine how dense and active the Laws inside that world must be!"

After hearing their Senior Brother's words...

...the expressions of the others also turned solemn.

They were all young prodigies, so naturally, they weren't stupid.

The reason they didn't notice at first...

...was because of the preconceived notions they had about The Borderlands of the Star Domain in their minds.

In their impression...

...Small Worlds in The Borderlands of the Star Domain should be desolate and weak...

"Se... Senior Brother, you're right. This shouldn't be a Small World; the area isn't right!"

"Not just the area! The activity and density of the Laws aren't right either. I feel like it's not much different from our Xingyuan Continent!"

"That's true. Then... then what should we do? Change direction and look for another world?"

"No!!"

Lin Xiao directly rejected the plan to turn around and search for other worlds.

"Our Flying Boat is severely damaged; it might stop flying altogether at any moment!"

"By then, if we haven't found another world, we'll be stranded in this infinite Void Realm!"

"The world ahead is unusual, which might not be entirely bad for us. We might even find someone who can help us repair the Flying Boat!"

After listening to Lin Xiao...

...the people around didn't say anything more because they all knew in their hearts...

...that Lin Xiao was right.

If the Flying Boat really broke down halfway and left them in the infinite Void Realm, they would have no choice but to wait for death.

Being so young...

...they didn't dare take that risk!

However...

...just as the group was feeling apprehensive!

Suddenly...

...without any warning...

...the Void Realm in front of their Flying Boat suddenly began to twist.

Immediately following...

...at the center of that spatial distortion, a "palm" so massive it defied description slowly "reached" out from within!

This palm was constructed entirely from the power of the Laws.

Its size almost obscured all visibility in front of the Flying Boat.

Compared to it...

...the thousand-meter-long Flying Boat was now as tiny as a toy in a child's palm!

"Wha... what is this?!"

"The Hand That Covers the Sky? It's entirely condensed from the power of the Laws! Heavens! This is too terrifying..."

"Quick! Activate defenses! Maximum power!!"

"It's too late! It... it's grabbing us!"

"Ah... I don't want to die, I'm still young..."

"Senior Brother! Help..."

...

Exclamations, screams, and desperate roars on the deck instantly blurred together!

Everyone was scared witless by this sudden, terrifying sight!

What Land Immortals?

What pride of prodigies?

Before this giant hand that seemed to represent the will of heaven and earth, they were as fragile as a candle in the wind!

The giant hand that covered the sky spread its five fingers slightly and, with an irresistible will, gave the Flying Boat a gentle squeeze!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Nor was there the roar of clashing energies.

There was only the "humming" sound of space being completely imprisoned.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's face was as pale as ash, and his eyes held nothing but endless fear and bewilderment.

This is the legendary weak and barren Borderlands of the Star Domain?

Bullshit!!

You call this fucking weak?

If this is called weak, then what are they?

If he had the chance...

...he really wanted to tear apart the mouths of those who spread rumors about the weakness of the Borderlands!

Dammit.

Rumors really do kill...

[Haha... I originally wanted to take a day off today, but after thinking about it, I'll pass. I'll take it tomorrow instead...]
