267: Chapter 267 First Time Leaving the Microcosm

Night fell, and all was silent.

Cao Yang sat quietly cross-legged on the soft bed, eyes slightly closed and hands resting naturally on his knees, entering a state of deep meditation.

He was working hard at his meditation to Cultivate and consolidate his cultivation base, which had just broken through to the second layer of the Source Realm.

Since this Breakthrough had been achieved with the help of external forces, he knew he had to spend more energy to stabilize this hard-won result.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.

During these ten days, Cao Yang tirelessly refined the Source Power within his body day and night, constantly compressing and purifying it until it reached the limit.

At this moment, he felt his cultivation base had become very solid, like an indestructible mountain.

Thus, he slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and stood up, walking with light steps toward Ning Rongrong's room.

When Cao Yang gently pushed open the door, Ning Rongrong was sitting by the window, holding an ancient book and reading with great interest.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up, her gaze instantly falling on Cao Yang. A look of surprise appeared on her face: "Brother Cao, why have you come out of seclusion so soon? It's only been a few short days. Is your Realm truly stabilized?"

Facing Ning Rongrong's doubt, Cao Yang nodded with a smile and replied confidently, "Yes, Rongrong, I am different from other Cultivators. My cultivation speed has always been faster, and I require much less time to stabilize my cultivation base than they do."

Having said that, he walked to Ning Rongrong's side and asked softly, "I plan to take you outside the Small Universe today to find medicinal herbs that can heal your injuries. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong felt a surge of emotion in her heart and nodded without hesitation. "Alright, Brother Cao, I'll follow your arrangements for everything. As long as my injuries can be healed, I'm willing to go anywhere." Her beautiful eyes flickered with a firm light, full of trust in Cao Yang.

The corners of Ning Rongrong's mouth curled up slightly, forming a sweet smile like a blooming spring flower.

Through their time spent together and getting to know him, she deeply felt Cao Yang's sincere care and kindness toward her. Since they first met, Cao Yang had always treated her with sincerity, befriending her and building a deep friendship.

Thinking carefully, Ning Rongrong felt there was really nothing particularly precious or worth coveting about her.

If someone said Cao Yang approached her only because he lusted after her beauty or body, she would never believe such an absurd claim.

After all, for people with such profound cultivation bases as theirs, changing one's appearance was an easy task.

Furthermore, in this vast and boundless Small Universe, there were many people with outstanding looks, and beautiful women who were equal to or even better than her were not few in number.

In this way, the two walked side by side, treading through the air as lightly as Immortals.

Their figures were like two streaks of light flashing across the sky, swiftly speeding toward the only exit of the Small Universe.

Before long, they arrived at their destination—the awe-inspiring, giant Void vortex.

The Void vortex before them was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, within which countless Void blades crisscrossed and shuttled back and forth, forming layer upon layer of dense barriers.

These Void blades glinted with cold light, looking as if they could easily tear apart anything that dared to approach.

The entire vortex was unfathomably deep; even with Cao Yang's powerful Indestructible Holy Eye and full mobilization of the Source Power in his body to investigate, he still could not see through to what secrets lay hidden at the bottom.

Looking at this seemingly extremely dangerous exit, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown and say softly, "Is this the passage for us to leave this place? Looking at it this way, I'm afraid crossing through directly won't be an easy task!"

Cao Yang fixed his gaze on that mysterious and deep Void vortex, thinking to himself.

Although there were indestructible universal barriers around this Void vortex, for Cao Yang, who had absolute confidence in his own strength, breaking them would not be difficult.

Despite his current Realm only being at the second layer of the Source Realm, by virtue of the supreme Cultivation Technique he practiced, even ordinary Source King Early Stage experts were by no means his match.

When his gaze touched the cold-glinting, terrifying Void blades within the Void vortex, Cao Yang's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Based on his observation and judgment of the Rank of these Void blades, he could already conclude that the power of the Heavenly Dao controlling this Small Universe was certainly far above that of a Source King.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such a horrifying scene and powerful pressure.

Just then, Ning Rongrong, who was beside him, said softly, "That's right, Brother Cao. To pass through here smoothly, one must pay a certain amount of 'toll' to the Heavenly Dao, and the traveler's Realm must reach Extreme Dao Saint to leave this place."

Having said that, she raised her jade hand and with a casual wave, exactly twenty source crystals emitting brilliant light flew straight into the Void vortex like shooting stars.

In an instant, the Advanced Void blades that were originally crisscrossing and frantically cutting seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, rapidly pulling back to the sides at an incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, these Void blades converged into an orderly passage, forming what looked like a normal and stable long-distance teleportation vortex.

"Brother Cao, let's go!" Ning Rongrong gave a delicate shout, her figure flashing as she unhesitatingly took the lead and charged into the teleportation vortex.

Seeing this, Cao Yang no longer hesitated and followed closely behind her into the vortex.

Accompanied by a strong sense of spatial distortion, the two figures instantly disappeared from the spot, swept into an unknown journey through time and space...

Cao Yang thought to himself that if he could successfully sign-in once in this mysterious and unpredictable teleportation vortex, perhaps some unexpected surprise would descend!

One must know that the Void blades hidden inside possessed an extremely high Rank! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be eager to try.

However, reality is always cruel. The speed of that teleportation was truly astonishingly fast, giving Cao Yang no time to react at all, forcibly sending him out of the vortex in a blink.

Cao Yang looked around with a face full of regret, seeing only the boundless Void and giant floating meteorites before him.

This scene was quite similar to the Void in the Small Universe, but one could clearly feel that the Rank of this place was higher and it was far more dangerous!

Not daring to delay for a moment, Cao Yang immediately deployed his powerful Divine Sense, which quickly spread out in all directions.

Before long, he discovered Ning Rongrong's figure on a Void meteorite hundreds of millions of trillions of miles away.

But what shocked Cao Yang was that Ning Rongrong was actually surrounded by hundreds of hideous, wolf-like Void Creatures emitting fierce auras!

Each of these Void Creatures possessed extraordinary strength, with every single one having a terrifying cultivation base of at least Extreme Dao Saint or above.

Even more heart-stopping was that there were actually five powerful existences among them whose strength had already reached the Source Realm!

In that instant, Cao Yang appeared beside Ning Rongrong like a ghost.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's originally charming and moving face had turned pale, with no color to speak of.

"Brother Cao, what on earth is going on? I've been out of the Small Universe many times before, but never like today, encountering Void Creatures the moment I appeared!" Ning Rongrong said with a trembling voice, her eyes filled with terror and confusion.

Cao Yang comforted her with a calm face, "Don't be afraid, Rongrong. These mere Void Creatures are something I can easily handle."

In fact, he didn't take these Void Creatures seriously in his heart; after all, with his current strength, these fellows couldn't pose a threat to him at all.

Moreover, he had just scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense and found only one Void Creature at the Source King Early Stage very far away from them.

Even more fortunately, that Void Creature was currently immersed in a deep sleep.

However, before Cao Yang could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong shouted urgently, "Brother Cao, let's leave here quickly, don't get too entangled with them! You should know that Void Creatures usually appear in packs; once we're tied down by them, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Almost as soon as Ning Rongrong's words left her mouth, two agile Void Creatures with incredibly fast speed approached the two of them like lightning.

Facing this sudden crisis, Cao Yang's expression didn't change and his heart didn't skip a beat. He casually raised his right hand, and with a simple wave, two brilliant golden lights suddenly shot out.

In an instant, accompanied by two shrill screams, those two Void Creatures with Extreme Dao Saint strength actually had their heads severed directly, their bodies crashing to the ground.

Immediately afterward, Cao Yang unhesitatingly reached out and grabbed Ning Rongrong's soft, boneless little hand. With a flash of his figure, the two of them instantly disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in a distant land, having successfully left that group of ferocious Void Creatures far behind.

Cao Yang had just used the Divine Ability—Gods Descent—to move the maximum distance possible within his Divine Sense.

Cao Yang didn't know exactly how far it was; the range of his Divine Sense was already far too vast now.
