249: People from the outside

Suddenly, the waves surged, and countless rolling bubbles erupted from the seabed as if boiling.

Chen Tianming just stood motionless on the surface of the sea.

Beneath his feet, a huge, sturdy mountain peak rose from the ground.

Terrifyingly, this mountain peak lifted Chen Tianming high into the air.

Immediately after, there was a bone-chilling crack, and the massive mountain peak split open from the middle, rocks shattering and falling into the sea.

A dirty, terrifying, gaping maw suddenly opened.

However, with just a glance from Chen Tianming, all the information about this mountain peak was displayed in his eyes.

This was a Reef-Gazing Kun.

It originally lived a carefree life under the sea.

However, even demon beasts have a day when they die.

This type of demon beast is extremely sentimental; when their companions die, their bodies turn into reefs, and they will carry their companions on their backs.

Over time, a shell-like carapace, incredibly hard, forms on their faces, resembling a hill.

At this moment, this giant Kun opened its gaping maw, clearly intending to swallow Chen Tianming whole.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianming's expression sharpened, and a violent surge of mental energy burst forth from his body, an invisible mental force enveloping the entire giant demon beast.

"Vile creature! Seeing that you possess sentience and emotion like a human, I shall spare your life today. Now, quickly begone!"

The mental energy continuously surged, forming Chen Tianming's voice, as profound as ancient times.

The demon beast's body suddenly tensed, and with a rumble, it plunged into the sea.

As if it had seen some terrifying existence, it wagged its tail and fled swiftly.

Chen Tianming waited for the wind and waves to calm down, then continued forward.

As his gaze swept around, Chen Tianming also continuously observed the creatures from the Xuanhuan World.

In comparison, the majority of creatures in this world were still weak and ordinary demon beasts.

There were even many creatures that didn't possess a single trace of spiritual energy.

The giant Kun and demon dragon Chen Tianming encountered could already be considered mid-to-upper-tier in terms of combat power.

Yet, Chen Tianming could sense that the spiritual energy contained within this Small World was actually very abundant.

Why would the creatures of the Small World experience a lack of spiritual energy?

Chen Tianming had no idea.

He continued walking in the direction Lei Li had fled.

As his gaze passed, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually began to thicken.

Even the flowers and plants by the roadside contained rich spiritual energy sufficient to heal wounds.

This made Chen Tianming somewhat puzzled.

He slowly squatted down, reaching out to feel the primordial spiritual energy contained within the soil and earth.

But Chen Tianming clearly felt that the soil beneath his feet, and the surrounding trees and flowers,

were as if alive, all repelling him!

Chen Tianming opened his palm, and the surrounding spiritual energy slowly circulated.

It was then that Chen Tianming discovered that the spiritual energy he controlled had become very sluggish, as if it didn't want to be controlled by him.

Chen Tianming rubbed his chin.

Thinking from a different perspective, he formed a hypothesis about the cause of this phenomenon.

"This Small World was probably also split off from the Xuanhuan World due to integration. In comparison, I am a special existence from another world!"

"No wonder all matter is repelling me, but it doesn't matter!"

Chen Tianming sneered.

As a villain, the most important thing is to be able to suppress everything under heaven.

He gently closed his eyes, carefully sensing the rich spiritual energy around him.

He released his mental energy, gathering all the spiritual energy little by little into his glabella, absorbing it into his body.

At the same time, he released the spiritual energy within his own body...

The two types of spiritual energy fused with each other, achieving rapid circulation within Chen Tianming's body.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with golden light.

The corners of Chen Tianming's mouth curled upwards; he had successfully assimilated a portion of the Xuanhuan World's spiritual energy into himself.

Moreover, Chen Tianming gained a flash of inspiration based on the vortex within Lei Li's body.

He also gradually controlled and integrated the unique spiritual realm of this Xuanhuan World, transforming it into a small vortex, which he kept within his body.

From the outside, it was imperceptible and undetectable, but Chen Tianming had already mastered the spiritual energy of the Xuanhuan World.

In reality, the constantly rotating effect was like a bottomless black hole, automatically absorbing surrounding spiritual energy and spiritual power every moment.

Having completed all this, Chen Tianming closed his eyes again to sense Lei Li's presence.

With his thorough understanding of the Small World's spiritual energy, Chen Tianming's perception of Lei Li became even more accurate.

Opening his eyes, Chen Tianming unhurriedly continued his pursuit.

Along the way, more and more creatures possessing rich spiritual energy appeared.

Some had even transformed into houses, buildings, bricks, and soil.

A world filled with spiritual energy held such profound mysteries.

Chen Tianming felt increasingly intrigued.

When he looked up again, he realized that the front was already a sea of clouds and mist.

Within this peculiar mist, a mountain peak faintly emerged.

Chen Tianming merely exerted a slight force, and the Qi Observation Technique enveloped the entire mountain peak.

The sight before him immediately left Chen Tianming in awe.

The mountain peak hidden in the clouds was like a spring of spiritual energy.

A continuous torrent of spiritual energy converged, surging like an underground river beneath the mountain peak.

On that mountain peak, Chen Tianming also discovered many powerful presences.

Spiritual energy gathered there to form lakes, rolling with a certain regularity.

However, Chen Tianming was already prepared.

Even if what lay ahead was a mountain of daggers and a sea of fire, he would still venture forth!

Chen Tianming headed straight for that spiritual peak.

But just as he was about to reach the foot of the spiritual peak, Chen Tianming suddenly felt that the mountain in front of him had suddenly moved further away.

The distance it moved back was exactly the distance he had just walked.

The mountain peak was actually avoiding Chen Tianming!

Just then, a scholar dressed in plain cloth, with his hair in a bun, holding a scroll, walked over from afar.

"This young brother, judging by your attire, could it be that you are from an outer world?"

This unfamiliar address made Chen Tianming even more curious.

"Indeed, I stumbled into this place by accident..."

The scholar smiled kindly.

"Then you should retreat. This mountain peak has nurtured the Three Great Sects. They call themselves immortal cultivators and have set up a formation at the foot of the mountain. Anyone whose cultivation is insufficient or who has no cultivation cannot approach this mountain!"

Chen Tianming frowned, an idea flashing through his mind, and he slowly expanded the vortex within his body.

Finally, a feeling of being embraced and integrated by the surroundings slowly enveloped his entire body.

It seemed it wasn't just insufficient cultivation.

Having spiritual energy different from this world also meant he couldn't approach this mountain.

Chen Tianming was still marveling at the profoundness of the Xuanhuan World's cultivation methods, and at the same time, he wanted to follow the scholar to inquire carefully about Lei Li's situation.

Unexpectedly, the scholar in front of him actually pulled out a bottle of Scream from his In arms...

Looking at the familiar bottle and the unique spray design of the cap, Chen Tianming was speechless.

It was as if the world was playing a huge joke on Chen Tianming.

"This... Brother, where did you get this bottle of drink from?"
