Chapter 3347

When Ye Liuyun and the others reached the entrance to the mountain valley, they all felt gravity suddenly intensify.

Those with weaker physiques were pressed down so hard that they could barely straighten their backs.

The farther they went, the more sharply this crushing pressure increased with every step. But Ye Liuyun could already withstand it with his physical body alone, leaving everyone else far behind.

“There’s a formation here, but it only restricts this crushing pressure from spreading outward!” Qiong Qi immediately warned Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also stopped, allowing the others to temper their physical bodies here. “You should stay here and adapt for a while before going any farther. I’ll go meet that powerhouse first!”

Everyone knew that if they went any farther, they would be unable to fight, and they would have to rely on Ye Liuyun’s protection anyway. So they all stopped to adapt to the gravity here before continuing onward. Ye Liuyun left the Megalithic Ape behind to protect them.

Ye Liuyun and his two clones continued inward under the crushing pressure. After walking for some distance, however, he began to feel the pressure as well. Yet he still did not use the power of heaven and earth, instead fully tempering his physical body’s ability to withstand the pressure.

He considered that this was how he had felt when he first arrived in the God Realm. Back then, the pressure had broken every bone in his body. If the Void Realm was like this as well, he could use this place to adapt in advance.

The range of spiritual sense detection here also grew smaller the farther forward they went, making it very similar to the situation when he had first arrived in the God Realm. His soul power was strong enough, however, that he could still see a cave at the bottom of the valley.

But he still could not see the person inside the cave. He would have to get closer.

He was worried as well. Once he reached the bottom of the valley and all his abilities were restricted, he would be at a great disadvantage against a powerful enemy. Thus, he and his clones were already prepared to use the puppet golden dragon for protection.

When Ye Liuyun had walked halfway there, he began to feel that his body could no longer withstand the crushing pressure. The bones in his body had even begun to creak.

He used some of the power of heaven and earth to keep the pressure at the limit his physical body could endure. Then, with every step forward, he increased the power of heaven and earth a little.

He also tried using his Spatial Force and discovered that even shifting himself was already extremely difficult. Entering the second layer of the void was likewise exceedingly strenuous. He could still barely manage to shift one of his clones.

The Myriad Gods Token in his sea of consciousness, however, showed no reaction at all. It probably did not consider this dangerous and intended for him to endure it himself.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and continued forward, hoping that the Void World would not be like this. Otherwise, once he arrived there, he would be no different from an ordinary person.

But before he reached the cave entrance, his Spatial Force had already become completely useless. He could not even break through the void barrier here. He released all the power of heaven and earth he possessed, yet even the surrounding momentum of heaven and earth could barely withstand the crushing pressure.

His soul power, however, was strong enough, and he had now detected the situation inside the cave. His golden eyes had remained unaffected all along, and they now pierced through the thick mountain walls and saw the person inside.

The cave was not very deep. A middle-aged martial cultivator sat cross-legged inside. He was dressed in animal hide, just like the tribal people. However, his soul power should have been far stronger than that of the native martial cultivators.

The moment Ye Liuyun’s golden eyes and spiritual sense swept over him, he sensed it and began examining Ye Liuyun with his own spiritual sense as well.

He even began chatting with Ye Liuyun. “So you have a pair of golden eyes that can see through things. You’re the first people to reach this far. What a pity, though—no one who has entered this valley has ever made it out alive.

“I’ll give you another chance. Try taking two more steps forward, and then I’ll kill you and all your friends!”

The middle-aged martial cultivator evidently thought Ye Liuyun could see him because of his golden eyes. He did not believe that Ye Liuyun could detect him with spiritual sense. Nor had he realized that the other two people were Ye Liuyun’s clones.

“Did you create this gravity?”

Ye Liuyun gritted his teeth and forced himself forward under the crushing pressure while asking him curiously.

“Hahaha, I don’t have that ability! Well, you’re going to die anyway, so I may as well tell you. This planet simply does not belong to this world!”

The martial cultivator had probably gone too long without speaking to anyone and was bored, so he began chatting with Ye Liuyun.

“A planet from the Void World? You’re at the Void Realm?” Ye Liuyun immediately understood. Only then did he use his golden eyes to examine the martial cultivator’s cultivation level carefully. Sure enough, his primordial elixir was at the Void level. And he seemed to be more than a first-level Void Realm martial cultivator.

“You’re quite clever. But with your cultivation level, you’re also close to breaking through. What a pity that you won’t have the chance to break through to the Void Realm. Still, you get to experience the environment of the Void World in advance. How fortunate!”

The martial cultivator laughed calmly.

“How is that possible? It’s only a planet. Even if it was moved here from the Void World, once it arrived in the God Realm, shouldn’t it have adapted to the environment here?” Ye Liuyun found it inconceivable.

“Anything is possible!” The martial cultivator gave a contemptuous laugh and did not bother explaining. He merely said disdainfully, “The God Realm? That’s only what you call it yourselves. In reality, it’s merely a middle world!”

At that moment, the Book Demon in Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness suddenly realized something and told him, “There is one possibility: he has already refined this entire world and then released this planet.”

Ye Liuyun was startled by his words. “Then aren’t we effectively inside his spatial world? And he’s a powerhouse at the Void Realm!”

If that was truly the case, it was no wonder the martial cultivator was so confident. They simply could not escape. With a single thought, the martial cultivator could kill them.

“You’re from the Void World? We’re in a middle world, so what about the Void World? Are there even higher-level worlds?” Ye Liuyun was extremely curious about all of this.

He was also buying time for himself, trying to think of a way to kill the martial cultivator. He absolutely could not let the other man attack first.

The Book Demon was indeed from the Void World. But he had been relatively weak back then and could no longer remember much about it. Most of the Book Demon’s experiences had taken place in the God Realm.

The Book Demon then told Ye Liuyun, “Use the power of time to freeze time, then unleash all your power, including your bloodline and sword intention. Even borrow the power of your spatial world. Close in on him, then shoot him with the God-Slaying Bow. That is the safest method.”

“What about attacking him directly with soul power?” Ye Liuyun also asked the Book Demon.

“I can’t determine how much the external environment is affecting the use of your soul power right now. Even if the souls of your two clones attack together, the risk would still be considerable!” the Book Demon replied.

The middle-aged martial cultivator’s two souls were quite similar to Ye Liuyun’s. The difference was that he had already adapted to the environment here, while Ye Liuyun did not know whether his souls would be affected after releasing them, so he did not dare take the risk for the time being.
