89: Void Academy, First Exploration of the Abyss

Atop the Cloud Court, starlight flowed within the Star Gazing Hall. Yun Feng stood with his hands behind his back before a star map magnified to cover the dome, his gaze profound.

The star map provided by the Green Source Star Realm was like a key, opening the door to a wider world, but it also clearly marked the crimson area symbolizing the ultimate threat—the Abyssal Erosion Zone.

"Nie Li."

Yun Feng's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable determination.

"Court Master."

Nie Li stepped forward, his expression solemn.

"Effective immediately, you will be fully responsible for the official establishment of the 'Void Academy.' It will recruit young Geniuses from the Demon Spirit Continent and all friendly planes who possess spatial talent, exceptional Soul Power, or a special sensitivity to the Law.

Resources will be prioritized from the Cloud Court treasury, and the curriculum will include fundamental Void Realm knowledge, Chaos insights, and battle array methods."

Yun Feng waved his sleeve, and several Jade Slips containing fragments of the Law of Space and information streams flew into Nie Li's hand.

"These are the academy's construction outline and the core curriculum for the Early Stage."

"I respectfully obey the Court Master's command!"

Nie Li accepted the Jade Slips, his heart surging.

He understood that this was not just about cultivating reserve forces, but preparing for a future war that might affect countless planes.

"Yun Hao, Yun Qiao."

"Present!"

The brother and sister answered in unison.

"The two of you will be the academy's first batch of instructors.

Yun Hao will oversee practical combat and Body Refining, and Yun Qiao will teach the Law of Life and Spirit Medicine identification.

Furthermore, form the 'Void Sky Patrol Guard,' led by the two of you, to be responsible for security patrols around the academy perimeter and the navigation routes of neighboring friendly planes."

"Yes!"

The command was swiftly issued, shaking the entire Cloud Court and even the Demon Spirit Continent.

News of the Void Academy spread like a storm, and countless young Cultivators were excited, viewing this as an Opportunity to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

Even friendly planes like the Green Source Star Realm and the Lava Realm, upon receiving the announcement from the Cloud Court, began selecting their most outstanding Geniuses to send to this academy founded by a Fated-level expert.

Just as the Continent was buzzing over the establishment of the Void Academy, Yun Feng's figure quietly disappeared from the Star Gazing Hall.

He had not gone far, but following the guidance of the star map and his own Fated Realm's acute perception of the Abyssal aura, he arrived outside the world barrier of the Demon Spirit Continent, in a Void Realm area near the edge of the known Abyssal Erosion Zone.

Here, the spatial structure had become extremely unstable; chaotic energy storms occasionally swept through, and the Void Realm was permeated with a sense of decay and deathly silence that made one's Soul uneasy.

Gazing into that crimson area, one seemed to hear the wails of countless world remnants.

Yun Feng concealed all the Qi around his body, slowly approaching like a speck of dust.

He needed to personally confirm the activity level of this Abyssal Erosion Zone and its expansion rate.

Just as he approached a certain critical distance, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

The seemingly calm Void Realm ahead suddenly warped, rippling like water, and immediately afterward, a long, narrow spatial rift, whose edges constantly dripped viscous black liquid, was forcibly torn open!

Dense Abyssal Devilish Qi surged out like a tangible substance, accompanied by ear-splitting roars, as three twisted Abyssal fiends, radiating the fluctuations of the Legendary Rank Early Stage, struggled out of the rift!

Their forms were indescribable, seemingly pieced together forcibly from countless severed limbs and grievances, their only commonality being their crimson compound eyes filled with the desire for destruction and hunger.

They seemed to be attracted by the "World Aura" emitted after the Demon Spirit Continent's advancement, charging straight toward the world barrier like sharks smelling blood.

Yun Feng's eyes turned cold.

Sure enough, the advancement of a world was like lighting a bonfire in the darkness—it was bound to attract these greedy moths.

He did not reveal his true form, only moving his consciousness slightly.

The three Abyssal fiends, charging forward frantically, suddenly froze as if they had slammed into an invisible wall.

Immediately afterward, their twisted bodies began to disintegrate starting from the smallest particle structure.

Without making a sound or any energy outburst, they were silently and utterly annihilated in the Void Realm, leaving not a single trace of dust.

It was as if they had never existed.

The spatial rift that had just been torn open also quickly healed and returned to its original state under the soothing influence of the Chaos Law.

From the appearance of the fiends to their complete disappearance, the entire process took only an instant.

Yun Feng's expression, however, did not relax.

He could sense that the rift just now was not naturally formed, but had been located and forcibly torn open by some power from the other side.

This meant that the Abyss's infiltration and attention to this Star Domain was far deeper than he had anticipated.

"It seems the Void Academy will not have much time left to grow."

Yun Feng looked toward the bottomless crimson area, his gaze profound.

He casually laid down several more concealed Chaos sensing talismans nearby.

If any Abyssal power surpassing the Legendary Rank approached, he would know immediately.

Having finished all this, his figure merged back into the Void Realm and returned to the Demon Spirit Continent.

The establishment of the Void Academy must be accelerated, and he himself needed to prepare more fully for the potential head-on conflict with higher-level entities from the Abyss that might arrive sooner than expected.

This first silent contact and annihilation foreshadowed a future storm that would be even more violent.
