C1001 Space Level
Xuan Yao knew that Ling Xiao and Yu Roufei's relationship was not ordinary. He tactfully requested to enter the Medicine Tripod to cultivate.
All these years, he had been busy handling the matters of the Xiao Ao Palace. Even with the help of Ling Xiao's medicinal pills and elixirs, he had only reached the peak of Celestial Sovereign of High Rank's strength. He was still a distance away from Profound Monarch Rank, so he took the opportunity to calm his mind and cultivate properly.
Ling Xiao did not rush to the Celestial Domain fortress immediately. Instead, he made a trip back to the north-western desolate mountain range. He wanted to see the Black Sheep before he left, and see if his current situation was good.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at the territory of the Qilin Race, he learned from the old Qilin that the Black Sheep hadn't returned after following him out the last time. It was probably to carry out its mission.
Ling Xiao left the desolate mountain range with some disappointment. He still missed this fellow, Black Sheep, in his heart.
Then, he went to the Feng family to pick up his masteress, Feng Qingyuan.
Now that there were two more Saint warriors in the Feng family, Feng Qingyuan no longer needed to worry about what would happen to the juniors of the Feng family. She could go to the Celestial Domain realm with Ling Xiao without worry.
She just didn't expect Ling Xiao to suddenly reach the saint-level so soon. It had only been seven to eight years since he reached the Profound Monarch realm.
Thinking back, she had spent a lot of resources and time to reach this level.
After receiving Feng Qingyuan, Ling Xiao immediately rushed to the Dragon Palace and met Dragon Lady.
He did not tell Dragon Lady that he would go to the Celestial Domain realm in case she asked him to leave.
Although Ling Xiao really wanted a powerful helper like Dragon Lady to be by his side, However, he knew that staying in the Dragon Palace was the best choice.
"Alright, it's time to go to the Sky cushion Fortress!" After Ling Xiao left the Dragon Palace, he let out a long sigh.
He had given everything he needed to know. It was time to leave now that he had seen all the people he needed to see.
...
Celestial Domain was a place that only Saint warriors could reach. To reach there, one would need to go through nine layers of spatial barriers.
Those who hadn't reached the Saint realm and didn't know how to use spatial energy wouldn't be able to cross those barriers and reach the other side of the Celestial Domain realm.
These nine checkpoints were located at the edge of this continent, which was the so-called end of the horizon.
Ling Xiao, Yu Roufei and Feng Qingyuan were already the strongest people on this continent. They sat on their respective Spirit Beasts and tore through space at full speed. They passed through those dangerous places and rushed to the edge of the horizon.
With their Saint strength and the speed of the Spirit Beast of Eighth Ranks, it took them two years to fly to the edge of the sky.
It was obvious that there was a strong spatial fluctuation here, isolating the entire continent. It was impossible for ordinary people to break through the spatial energy here and enter the other side, and ordinary Saint warriors rarely had the strength to do so. Only Peak Saint warriors could break through the spatial energy here with the help of a high grade Holy Artifact or a peak tier 8 Spirit Beast.
This was because there were a total of nine layers of spatial energy barriers here, and each layer was much thicker and sturdier than the last.
"As long as we can pass through this place, we will arrive at the Celestial Domain Fortress!" Ling Xiao sighed lightly. Without waiting for Yu Roufei and Feng Qingyuan to attack, he gathered all of his energy and threw it at the spatial barrier.
Boom!
The powerful force forced open the spatial barrier. A hundred-meter wide crack instantly burst open.
Ling Xiao, Yu Roufei, and Feng Qingyuan immediately entered the crack and entered another layer of space.
Ling Xiao didn't. Two words, break it again.
Ling Xiao forcefully broke the three spatial barriers. When he reached the fourth spatial barrier, he discovered that the spatial fluctuations here had become much stronger. The spatial energy was constantly twisting, and waves of chaotic spatial energy were surging towards them.
The three of them felt a slight pain in their bodies. They had no choice but to use their strength to resist the chaotic energy.
"Although I have never been to the Celestial Domain realm, I know from some ancient books that the energy of the ninth level is not ordinary. Especially after reaching the fourth level, the chaotic energy has started to invade our bodies. Everyone must be careful. If it doesn't work, let me do it," Yu Roufei said.
"I know what you are talking about, but this little bit of chaotic space energy is nothing. I'll let you do it later, but... you'd better put on the defensive armor. The energy of the last few levels will be very terrifying. If you're not careful, you might die!" Ling Xiao also reminded Yu Roufei.
Yu Roufei knew Ling Xiao was right. She nodded and put on a Radiant Guard armor.
On the way to the Celestial Domain, Ling Xiao had already returned Yu Roufei's Space Ring.
Although he had yet to obtain her heart and body, the two of them had gained many common topics, becoming best friends and confidants.
Feng Qingyuan, who was at the side, knew Yu Roufei's strength. He did not snatch the credit and also wore a set of defensive armor. She secretly thought in her heart, Xiao is even more powerful than Mr. Evil Monarch. He can actually get a woman stronger than him to be his woman.
Ling Xiao knew that the fourth layer of the spatial barrier was extraordinary. His combat strength increased once again. The golden dragon phantom kept roaring behind him.
Both of his fists were like a dragon going out to sea, smashing hard on the spatial barrier.
Boom!
A powerful vibration resounded as the surrounding spatial ripples fluctuated unceasingly.
Unfortunately, the spatial barrier did not split apart like the first three levels.
Ling Xiao was not convinced. His strength increased by several times again. Layers of scales had already appeared on his golden fist. The boundless power of his fist was comparable to the strike of a Peak of Middle Rank Saint.
Bang!
The spatial barrier finally cracked open, but this time, it wasn't as big as the first three layers. Instead, it only cracked open for a dozen meters. And it healed quite quickly. If the three of them didn't go in immediately, the spatial barrier would close again.
However, when the two of them had just entered the fourth level, an even more powerful and chaotic spatial energy swept towards them.
The space was constantly distorted, and the energy was like a sharp blade as it slashed towards the three of them.
The three of them could not use all their strength to stabilize their bodies and resist this power.
However, this level was no longer just a disturbance caused by the power of space. Giant rocks fell like meteors and floated over unceasingly.
Their speed was extremely fast, and their strength was terrifying as well. If they were hit by any of the huge rocks, they were afraid that even ordinary Saint warriors would be severely injured or die.
Ling Xiao, Yu Roufei, and Feng Qingyuan were shocked. They hurriedly rushed towards the rocks that were flying towards them and scattered them.
But these huge rocks seemed to be endless. They kept drifting out from the other end. They were all big and small, densely packed. It was as if they were a pile of rubble that could not be blocked.
Ling Xiao's body was comparable to a high grade Holy Artifact. His fists and legs were like peerless weapons, shattering those boulders.
Yu Roufei and Feng Qingyuan's physical bodies were not as strong as Ling Xiao's, but their strength was stronger than Ling Xiao's. Every time they attacked, those huge rocks that were close to them would also be smashed into powder.
Yu Roufei originally thought that Ling Xiao would not be able to handle it, so she wanted to help him. But seeing that he was still calm and composed, and that he was able to bring out an extremely powerful force with his bare hands, she felt relieved.
However, she was still a little shocked by Ling Xiao's combat strength. It was no longer weaker than a Mid Saint. In her heart, she had a little more admiration for Ling Xiao.
Feng Qingyuan, on the other hand, relied on the speed of the wind attribute to keep moving. She occasionally made a move, but she wasn't affected much.
"Don't stay here and bear the burden. There are endless rocks here. We must hurry to the next layer of the shield as soon as possible!" Ling Xiao called out to the two women.
Yu Roufei and Feng Qingyuan responded softly. The two of them started to dodge the rocks like swallows. They started to dash towards the next layer of the spatial barrier together with Ling Xiao.
The distance between the fourth and fifth layer was not short. The three of them had been flying for a few days but still did not find the spatial barrier.
However, as they went deeper, there were more and more rocks. The speed of their drifting became faster and faster, and the impact was even more powerful.
The three of them kept dodging, but they still couldn't avoid being hit by the huge rocks. They had no choice but to shatter them in a hurry.
Ling Xiao still relied on his fists and feet to break the rock. Yu Roufei and Feng Qingyuan had no choice but to take out their Holy Artifacts and cut the huge rock apart.
The three of them were forced into a sorry state. Ling Xiao was also smashed by the rocks a few times. If not for his abnormal physical body, he would have been seriously injured or directly killed.
"No wonder only saint-level warriors can go to the Celestial Domain realm. If any warriors below the saint-level realm came in, they would have become dregs long ago!" Ling Xiao said. Ling Xiao still had some lingering fear in his heart.
The impact of the huge rock here was unbearable even for middle-level Saint warriors. Even low-level Saint warriors would die if they entered.
"Are you still able to withstand it?" Yu Roufei asked worriedly when she saw Ling Xiao being hit a few times in a row and rushing to his side.
"Don't worry. My body is very hard. These broken stones can't stand me. Help me take care of my mistress. Don't let her get hurt," Ling Xiao replied.
Yu Roufei did not say much and immediately went to Feng Qingyuan's side to block more stones for her.
The three of them sped forward once again. If another three days passed and the stones finally started to decrease, the power of space distortion would increase again and the pressure would make the three of them unable to breathe.
"Eh, this... Could this be Black Ink Stone?" Ling Xiao punched a rock that was not too big. He realized that he could not break it. Only then did he notice that this rock was different from the other rocks.
Ling Xiao did not let the rock slip away from him. He controlled it and looked at it. He found that this rock was extraordinary.
Black ink stone was a rare type of stone. It was a precious material for refining artifacts. It was not inferior to those ten thousand year profound stones and ten thousand year deep silver. It was an indispensable material for refining medicinal Holy Artifacts.
Such a large piece of Black Ink Stone weighed at least several hundred kilograms. It was difficult to find even in the Central Region. If it was auctioned off, its value would not be inferior to any Tier 8 spirit grass. It might even be much higher.
Ling Xiao put away the Black Ink Stone and then paid attention to the other huge rocks. He found that there was no Black Ink Stone.
Just as he was about to give up on searching, he found another stone flying towards him.
