Chapter 1960: Desolate Desert!
In the void, two blazing suns hung in the sky.
The two suns alternated and rotated continuously.
The scorching sunlight baked the land.
This was an endless desert.
For days, sandstorms raged relentlessly across this place.
Looking as far as the eye could see, it was desolate, with no sign of life.
Yet in such a lifeless place, beside a small sand dune, a figure lay sprawled, arms and legs wide open.
This person was Zhou Yu!
Right now, Zhou Yu’s entire body was covered with scabs of blood.
Due to the scorching sunlight, many scabs had already cracked and fallen off.
His exposed skin was covered with deep wounds.
Zhou Yu’s face was extremely pale.
At this moment, he was breathing evenly, his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, images of what happened after entering the fracture point kept appearing in his mind.
He and Divine Rong Demon Venerate had good fortune upon entering the fracture point.
Just as Divine Rong Demon Venerate had said, the fracture point had an extremely strong plane power.
They followed the pull of the plane power, traversing the void.
During the first half, they faced almost no danger and could rely solely on the Nine Heavens Star Shuttle to traverse the plane power in the void.
However, the good times didn’t last.
Suddenly, they encountered a terrifying void storm formed by plane power.
The Nine Heavens Star Shuttle barely lasted half an hour before it was destroyed.
Then, Zhou Yu summoned the Heaven-Supporting Tripod, fully mobilizing True Yuan to desperately resist.
The Heaven-Supporting Tripod, unlike the damaged Nine Heavens Star Shuttle, was a complete magic treasure.
Moreover, it was a high-rank magic treasure.
Therefore, it resisted for a longer period.
But it only lasted for less than two hours.
After that, the Heaven-Supporting Tripod was also torn apart by the terrifying plane power.
With the Heaven-Supporting Tripod shattered, Zhou Yu and Divine Rong Demon Venerate were thrown into a life-and-death crisis.
Having lost these two treasures, they could only rely on their own skills to resist.
Divine Rong Demon Venerate activated his Demon Body to directly endure the plane power.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu activated the Ancestral Dragon Battle Body and even used Immortal Black Mountain as a shield.
However, the low-rank magic treasure Immortal Black Mountain only lasted less than ten minutes before being riddled with holes, completely scrapped.
After this, Zhou Yu took out other treasures from his body, such as the Green Spirit Tripod, among others, using them all at once.
But clearly, this approach was merely delaying death rather than solving the problem.
The Demon Body of Divine Rong Demon Venerate also bore terrifying wounds, clearly unable to last much longer.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was entirely depending on True Yuan and the Ancestral Dragon Battle Body, gritting his teeth to hold on.
But it was clear they couldn’t last much longer, visibly approaching death.
In this mortal crisis, Divine Rong Demon Venerate let out a long sigh.
"Everything is fate."
"Heavenly Dao decrees that I, Divine Rong, cannot enter the high-rank plane."
"Zhou Yu, I have one last move, which may help you pass through the plane fracture."
"I only ask one thing of you, if you survive, find a way to revive me."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu didn’t even have time to ask before seeing Divine Rong Demon Venerate’s Demon Body suddenly ignite.
The next moment, a verdant shadow of the Divine Rong Giant Tree appeared within his Demon Body.
This shadow of the Divine Rong Giant Tree enveloped Zhou Yu.
Then, an astonishing thing happened to Zhou Yu.
The shadow of the Divine Rong Giant Tree managed to withstand the terrifying impact of the plane power.
Then, carrying Zhou Yu, it swiftly traversed the plane fracture.
However, though the shadow of the Divine Rong Giant Tree could withstand the impact, it consumed itself rapidly as well.
The originally sizable shadow of the Divine Rong Giant Tree shrunk to little more than human-height within half an hour, almost unable to cover Zhou Yu.
Seeing that the shadow would soon be exhausted, yet still not seeing the other side of the plane fracture...
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but show signs of despair.
It seemed they would die in this plane fracture.
However, just at this moment, an anomaly occurred in the Four Directions Realm within his body, and the next instant, a burst of Chaotic Light erupted from him, blasting toward a node in the void.
With a violent shock, Zhou Yu’s consciousness plunged directly into darkness.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt waves of heat and a piercing pain, as if cut by knives. Zhou Yu mustered all his strength and slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself lying in a strange desert.
The two suns above, like enormous ovens, cooked the desert.
The sand beneath him was scaldingly hot, causing him pain.
He tried to struggle to rise but found it was impossible.
Looking inward, he realized his True Yuan was already depleted, and even his Nascent Soul had dulled, lifeless like a stillborn.
Besides, almost all his meridians were destroyed, and his body was covered with dreadful wounds.
Everything he possessed was destroyed.
The only thing left was the Four Directions Realm in his Dantian.
And another thing.
With effort, Zhou Yu opened his hand and saw a withered seed in his palm.
"This is..."
Zhou Yu immediately recalled.
This was what was left after Divine Rong Demon Venerate burned his Demon Body.
Most likely, it was something similar to a Soul Seed; with the right secret technique, Divine Rong Demon Venerate could be revived.
Zhou Yu clutched the seed tightly; without Divine Rong Demon Venerate’s sacrificial rescue, he wouldn’t have survived.
In the future, no matter the obstacle, he would find a way to bring Divine Rong Demon Venerate back.
Yet whether he could survive, even Zhou Yu didn’t know.
Now, with his True Yuan dried up, body shattered, and Nascent Soul destroyed, almost no hope of survival remained.
However, the only thing giving Zhou Yu a glimmer of hope was some residual Golden Dragon Blood Qi within his body.
This Golden Dragon Blood Qi slowly repaired his body.
Though the process was agonizingly slow, there was at least a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Yu lay there, unable to do anything but gaze at the sky.
Even now, he didn’t know where he was.
Was this the Heavenly Origin World?
He only knew that time here felt very long.
He estimated that one day here was equivalent to about seven days in the Human Clan Plane.
The days were blistering hot, the nights bone-chillingly cold.
In this cycle of heat and cold, Zhou Yu had endured at least three rounds.
That is, roughly half a month in the Human Clan Plane.
However, the Spiritual Power here was remarkably abundant.
Even in this desolate desert, Zhou Yu could sense the streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in the air.
Unfortunately, his Nascent Soul was almost destroyed, leaving him unable to absorb any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power.
While Zhou Yu was in a daze, the ground suddenly started shaking.
Not long after, the shaking grew more intense, while in the distance, a massive cloud of sand rose.
After a brief stupor, Zhou Yu immediately realized!
"Something’s moving..."
