Chapter 1045 - 1145: In the Void

Sure, here's the translation:

After arriving at this oasis, Ye Tianfan carefully examined it and discovered that there seemed to be no anomalies. Moreover, the water in this oasis was underlain by quicksand, making exploration unnecessary as one could see straight to the bottom.

However, Ye Tianfan always felt that the sudden appearance of this oasis was extremely abrupt, so he felt something was off about it!

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan thought that, logically speaking, oasis water is stagnant and generally turbid, but the water here seemed like living water, clear to the bottom.

This feeling left Ye Tianfan very puzzled, and although the oasis had trees, indicating there was life, Ye Tianfan only sensed the life of the trees and felt no other living beings.

Not even a small insect could be found.

This situation compelled Ye Tianfan to feel that there was something very wrong with this place. Plus, this oasis seemed to have no value at all, appearing just like an ordinary oasis!

Yet, Ye Tianfan didn't believe this was just an ordinary oasis. In this vast desert, only this complete oasis existed, and there weren't even stones around it, just sand!

Based on these conditions, the oasis shouldn't exist. In this vast desert, the corrosive properties of sand are immense, making such a small oasis almost impossible to exist. But now, this oasis truly existed, and there seemed to be an array around it, keeping sandstorms from reaching the interior.

After observing for a long time, Ye Tianfan suddenly realized there hadn't been any wind for a while, and he could clearly see the sand flying outside the oasis, but inside, none entered, not even a slight breeze.

Ye Tianfan explored in a circle but still found nothing of value. Eventually, he sat beneath a tree in the oasis, resting against it and staring at the leaves above - emerald green and almost unbelievable, as if painted!

He felt extremely curious about this oasis today, not just because of the leaves but also the small lake here, which was quite curious - stagnant water without a hint of odor, still clear to the bottom, devoid of even dust!

Moreover, Ye Tianfan could use his Divine Sense to perceive the lake's surface, detecting no debris at all, not even sand or dust. Clearly, it was abnormal.

Even if sand and dust have settled at the bottom, the surface would still retain some sand and dust since not every speck is heavy enough to sink.

But now, Ye Tianfan sensed it was completely clean, like pure water.

It's not just the water that's problematic; even the leaves are unnaturally green, excessively pure, unlike the usual darker or brighter greens of plants!

Perhaps the existence of this place is inherently strange!

If Ye Tianfan were an ordinary person, this oasis would be immensely helpful, but Ye Tianfan is not ordinary, and does not lack water in the desert, hence the oasis offers little help. Therefore, Ye Tianfan wanted to test if his idea was correct!

Even if he fails, Ye Tianfan could continue walking!

So Ye Tianfan stood and walked outside the oasis. Once outside its bounds, Ye Tianfan felt the sand-strewn wind brushing his cheeks!

This was very odd, so Ye Tianfan mumbled softly and summoned the Fire Lotus Sword, then deployed a Fire Celestial Sword attack, instantly enlarging the sword before smashing it hard against the oasis!

Ye Tianfan intended to destroy the oasis to see what would happen. If nothing happened, he'd be annoyed but would keep moving forward; if something did occur, then perhaps the oasis would be his escape route!

The Fire Celestial Sword, like a meteor across the sky, trailed by flames descended heavily onto the oasis under Ye Tianfan's control, lighting up the desert red, like the end of the world!

This earth-shattering collision not only vaporized the oasis but also affected the nearby desert, ten miles around, turning it into glass due to the intense heat impact!

"Boom!"

Ye Tianfan coldly uttered the word "boom." This was the true power of the Fire Celestial Sword; while the impact is part of it, its true ability is to pierce into the enemy and self-detonate!

While the secret technique of Mount Tai flames compresses fire to annihilate targets, the Fire Celestial Sword releases the compressed fire in a complete explosion!

Ye Tianfan waited outside for quite some time, protected by the Xuanhuang Tower, and only then did the explosion's shockwave subside. At this moment, Ye Tianfan was half-buried in sand and stone, but thanks to the Xuanhuang Tower, he was unscathed by the storm!

After the storm stopped, Ye Tianfan flew up, looking down at the oasis's former location - now a huge crater where the oasis once was, with a giant elliptical space visible from every angle Ye Tianfan viewed.

Indeed, he saw scenes resembling the view of other galaxies from within this elliptical space.

Ye Tianfan hesitated at the sight of this elliptical space; it should be the transition point of the scene since nothing else but sand-filled wilderness surrounds it...?

Ye Tianfan looked around and discovered he had entered a cave, the elliptical space now an embedded hole in the sky, leading into space.

And not far behind him appeared a Treasure Lotus, gleaming sandy yellow.

Ye Tianfan glanced around and then at the Treasure Lotus, realizing that his recent experiences were due to this Treasure Lotus. Whether it was an Illusion Realm or reality wasn't clear, but it was undoubtedly the Treasure Lotus's doing.

Ye Tianfan stepped forward, picked the Treasure Lotus, and as before, touched the sandy yellow Lotus with the red-blue Lotus, as he had thought, causing them to merge into a tri-colored Lotus.
