Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 932: Dead World Found!

In the midst of a strange, empty darkness, two small glowing flashes suddenly appeared. 

The eyelids lifted, with a pair of slightly golden eyes glowing through the darkness and nothing. The figure was sitting in the void, cross-legged, completely naked. 

"Eighth Chi Revolution..." 

Ling Tian whispered as he watched the circulations of chi flowing uninterrupted in his body, forming patterns through his bones and muscles, also connecting with his blood vessels, viscera and organs. 

He was only a small step from forming the ninth chi circulation in his body, and thus reaching the limit of his body's refinement in the mortal stage! 

"But at this rate I may take several months... even a year might not be enough!" Ling Tian let out a sigh as he looked at the chaotic storm around him. 

Right now, Ling Tian was in the middle of an entire chaotic area, with the storm completely engulfing him in all directions! 

Despite this, Ling Tian was only able to refine his body and form the eighth chi circulation from the sixth circulation after almost a month! 

At first, Ling Tian had a little trouble when he reached the seventh chi circulation, because when the 7 circulations are formed, they all come together and try to create a single major circulation. But Ling Tian did not want to stop there, as he wanted to form the eighth and ninth chi revolution as well, so he had a little difficulty forming the eighth chi revolution while preventing the large circuit of the 7 circulations from trying to form itself. 

If he wanted to form the ninth chi circulation, Ling Tian knew it would take a long time. The chaos of this storm only allowed him to reach the eighth level of the mortal body's current refinement. If he wanted to advance, he would have to seek another, much more powerful storm. 

Ling Tian stood up and looked around. His body, which before was constantly wounded as soon as he entered and then obtained serious injuries upon arriving at this place, at this moment there were only small superficial wounds that were quickly healed, and gradually the appearance of them was diminishing. He quickly put on another robed and moved on. 

His spirit sense spread out carefully, looking for more chaotic storms nearby that were more powerful. Then it could shorten the time in refining the body more quickly. 

But after a long time, Ling Tian found no trace of any chaotic storm of the void that was more powerful than the previous one. He also did not delve deeper into the void, staying within the known range. 

"Uhm?" 

Pondering whether to return to the previous chaotic storm and stay for a long time to see if he could form the ninth chi circulation, Ling Tian grasped a subtle space root, the entrance to a world. This root was unstable, wriggling vaguely like a worm while exuding an energy of death. 

The curiosity to enter this world and see if he could perceive the energy of some heavenly treasure quickly arose in his mind. Ling Tian thought it might be one of those familiar worlds, especially when the intuition in his being alarmed him, beckoning him to enter. 

Ling Tian turned to the side, looking into a distance of just over 300 metres. A large space root could be seen, which was the entrance area to the cultivation world where he had come from. Ling Tian did not stray far from the area to avoid getting lost. 

And if he did get lost, Ling Tian could still vaguely feel the connection with his wives, so he would be able to reach the cultivation world after searching for a while. 

Grasping the spatial root of the world and sensing the origin, Ling Tian approached the area and opened a crack in the void towards it, entering it at once. 

... 

* Thud~ *

Ling Tian touched the ground the next moment after stepping out of the void crack, entering an unknown world. 

Raising his gaze, Ling Tian slightly raised his eyebrows. 

In front of his eyes, Ling Tian saw that there was a completely dry and lifeless wasteland. The plants were dry, barely surviving a few lifeless stems and roots, while the trees were completely dry, with some of their branches hanging weakly before falling off after a light breeze of air. 

The vitality of this place was dry, and the sky even looked somewhat dark and dim. 

"Indeed, it is a dead world..." Ling Tian muttered as he looked at the place, his spirit sense stretched for dozens of kilometres, reaching over 200 kilometres. His eyes also looked at the sky, noting that not even the sun or moon could be seen in this world. 

After looking around, Ling Tian knew that he had arrived at one of the abandoned worlds or dead worlds! 

These types of worlds would be completely destroyed after such a long time. Their laws and principles were broken or disordered, leading to their imminent end as there was no order. The chi aura of the world would dry up in many parts, escaping into the void in all directions as there would be no balance in the world. 

There would not even be traces of living beings in these places mostly. 

Ling Tian knew this very well, because these kinds of worlds were the ones he traveled to in order to escape from powerful enemies that he could not face them at that time in the Immortal World, escaping and recovering his severe wounds while trying to increase his strength. 

"Time in this place is also out of phase... flowing by much faster!" Ling Tian commented, talking to himself as he watched the sky and perceived time in a different way than he is used to. 

If Ling Tian calculated correctly, being about 2 or maximum 3 days in this world would be equivalent to being 1 day in the cultivation world, the Heavenly Earth Continent! 

This also confirmed Ling Tian's thought that this world was gradually destroying itself. Its laws of space and time were broken, vital chi was escaping and an aura of death was slowly emerging. 

But Ling Tian smiled in excitement, after all, heavenly treasures and various cultivation resources also appeared in these dead worlds! 

After not being found for a long time, and with the world gradually being destroyed, these treasures or cultivation resources would finally surface, waiting for someone to easily take them. In this way, Ling Tian was to become very strong! 

Ling Tian kept expanding his spirit sense as he moved through the space principle, trying to perceive some spiritual treasure. The law of space was broken and disordered, which made Ling Tian encounter less resistance and he could teleport even more than a hundred kilometres in moments easily. 

After more than 10 days, Ling Tian stopped while looking in front of him. 

A massive tornado of dozens of kilometres stretched out in the distance, gathering all the spiritual aura of the world as it slowly grew larger. A destructive power was spreading out, swallowing heaven and earth in its wake. 

Ling Tian's eyes remained unchanged as he watched this gigantic tornado, but in his mind he could not help but recall moments from the past. 

Before ascending to the Immortal World, right after separating from Ning Xiaoyi and Xi Fei, Ling Tian was travelling between these worlds through the natural teleportation formations he encountered, but unfortunately at that time Ling Tian did not know about the mysteries of space and void. 

Ling Tian had to enter these destructive tornadoes, resisting the destructive force that almost killed him several times if not for the countless defensive devices he had and found, but he still suffered hundreds of serious injuries. 

But now, Ling Tian could tear through space and enter the void, exit the world with ease. Even if he entered this destructive tornado, Ling Tian could feel that he would barely receive some light injuries on his body. 

"I barely found some high-level spiritual herbs in places where there was still spiritual aura, as well as the ruins of various cities and sects in this world, but I didn't find any more..." Ling Tian frowned, thinking whether to go to the place where he found a spiritual vein or return to his cultivation world. 

Time gradually sped up, with 3 days probably in this place being equivalent to 1 day to outer space. Time is advancing rapidly, proving that the world is rapidly losing its balance. 

Ling Tian could perceive this. In several worlds he entered, time was very broken and unbalanced, being able to stay there for several months and even several years, while in the Immortal World it would have barely been a few weeks or months at most! 

In the last world he entered where there were countless demonic beasts he was trapped for more than 5 thousand years, while in the Immortal World only a few years had passed!

But the risk was that these types of abandoned worlds could explode in a moment, and if Ling Tian had not left the world by then, he would die from the explosion. 

Although Ling Tian had not witnessed the explosion of a world in this life, he still knew that it was extremely terrifying and dangerous. 

This abandoned world was not very big, being a small world like in the lower planes. Ling Tian could explore it completely in less than 3 months or so. 

Ling Tian walked away from the tornado and returned to a certain place where he had passed. 

After a few hours, Ling Tian arrived and his spirit sense penetrated the ground, extending several miles into the depths. An exhilarated expression that had traces of surprise appeared on Ling Tian. 

In the depths of the place where Ling Tian was, he could sense a powerful vital aura, finding several medium and high level spiritual veins! 

If Ling Tian used them to cultivate, he felt that he would be able to bring the level of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures from the Great Ascension realm to the peak, even vaguely reaching the border of the Human Immortal realm! 

Ling Tian calmed down and chuckled cheerfully as he sat down to cultivate. 

It seemed that these spiritual veins had spread to this place as Ling Tian noticed that deep within the ground, there were large spaces, like underground caverns, with the spiritual veins growing and spreading out from afar and gathering at this place. That way some spiritual veins grew and developed into high-level spiritual veins!

"Something must have attracted them..." But Ling Tian frowned as he realised this, knowing that spirit veins are formed by the world itself to nourish chi spirit, and these could grow if they absorbed treasures from heaven and earth. 

"There are only few reasons for these spiritual veins to gather, and one of them is a mineral vein!" 

Ling Tian's thoughts quickly surfaced and after thinking for a few seconds he found the most logical reason right now. 

Ling Tian took out a small sword and quickly slashed into the ground, creating a passage more than hundreds of meters deep in a slash. 

Without wasting any time, Ling Tian descended into the depths.
