Chapter 2208: Returning to the Broken World

An Lin suppressed his cultivation base to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. At the same time, he also concealed his Heavenly Dao of Darkness. This would allow him to evade the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.

In fact, many super-mighty beings had considered this method before. However, they would be discovered by the Heavenly Dao every time they tried to conceal their cultivation base. Afterward, they would suffer a backlash so serious that they would be on the verge of death.

However, An Lin was different. His understanding of the Heavenly Dao could rank inside the top five in the entire Tai Chu Continent. The more one understood the Heavenly Dao, the more they understood how to trick heaven and earth.

Cyril was a very good example of this.

Thinking back to the past, the first time that he met Cyril was when Cyril was returning from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. The restrictions of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm had been completely ineffective against him.

Right now, An Lin had also reached that level.

He continued to advance until he eventually reached the other end of the passageway and felt a rush of dizziness.

This was the power of random teleportation.

However, how could An Lin allow himself to be randomly teleported? He immediately picked a location where the energy was the most chaotic and the fluctuation of the Heavenly Dao was the most severe.

Since the Heavenly Light Goddess wanted to obtain a Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao, she definitely had to head toward the location where the Heavenly Dao fluctuated the most violently. Such a location would allow them to most easily detect and utilize the Heavenly Dao.

The two-realm passageway shuddered violently.

In the next instant, An Lin discovered that he had already arrived in an extremely spacious area.

The boundless universe appeared above his head.

Meanwhile, the boundless continent that was intertwined with this universe was filled with all kinds of peculiar glowing plants and strange lifeforms.

More importantly, the vital energy here was extremely rich. This was a perfect location for cultivation. Ignoring everything else, the vital energy here was even more concentrated than the Four Nine Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Court. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this place a holy land for cultivation.

“Such a brilliant place for cultivation still exists in this broken and almost destroyed world?” An Lin couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. He kept his cultivation base at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage as he started to search for clues that the Heavenly Life Goddess had left.

“What would the Heavenly Light Goddess do if she wanted to forge a Damaged Sword of the Heavenly Dao? How would she forge such a weapon? What kind of materials would she need? What’s the base for the weapon?” An Lin continued to analyze the situation as he wandered around.

He was walking extremely slowly, with each step only covering five kilometers.

In any case, such a slow speed would also allow him to carefully observe this world.

This was where the Heavenly Dao had been the most severely damaged. Even the sky had been blasted open, revealing the boundless universe behind it. In fact, the universe was so clear that it would lead one to question whether their eyes were lying to them.

However, An Lin knew that this universe was real. It was only so clear because this world had once been the center of the universe. Thus, the light from the stars would trigger an increased resonance from the Heavenly Dao, making the outside universe appear even clearer and more eye-catching.

Moreover, it was also because the Heavenly Dao of this place was the most severely damaged that it was filled with all kinds of forbidden lands and deadly landforms. If one were careless, they might be engulfed and obliterated by the devastating currents of chaos that swept through this place.

As he was thinking this, a burst of violent green wind ferociously swept toward An Lin. The rocks and void in his surroundings were directly shredded apart and engulfed, revealing the intertwining black and white chaos that resided within them.

Tap!

An Lin ground to a halt as a bright white barrier instantly materialized around him, blocking the violent green wind that had swept over.

“This wind actually possesses a nomological law that causes one to disintegrate on contact. In terms of power alone, this nomological law seems even more formidable than the full power strike of a supreme being at the Return to Void Stage…

“How can so many peculiar glowing plants exist in a place where even the wind can kill someone? This is far too strange, no?”

An Lin knew that the damage and disturbance of the nomological laws signified the destruction of a world. Thus, he didn’t find this strange. Rather, what he found strange was the existence of plants in this world.

“Is this the scene of an annihilated world? Currents of chaos, intangible but deadly nomological laws, visions of the universe, auroras, and all kinds of colorful and violent energy…”

An Lin continued to wander forward, and it wasn’t long before he entered several deadly lands of different elements. However, he easily and crudely disposed of all of these deadly lands.

“Hmm? No, what’s that in front of me?”

An Lin suddenly saw a silvery-white light barrier in front of him. This barrier was like an eggshell that enveloped an extremely large volume of space.

An Lin walked near the barrier and saw a magnificent white city inside of it.

There were all kinds of beings walking around this city, and the aura of each of them was also especially powerful. Moreover, all of them existed in a peculiar state.

They were like living beings, yet they were also unlike living beings.

They seemed to exist, yet they also seemed to be nonexistent.

An Lin looked toward them, and he could see their appearances and expressions. He could also see them conversing or walking or skirmishing with each other. However, once he looked away, it was as if they would vanish without a trace. It was as if they were void and nonexistent in the areas that he couldn’t see.

An Lin was astonished by this. However, it was also because of this peculiar state of theirs that they could surprisingly fit in with the environment of this world. An Lin had a feeling that these beings could survive just fine even if the silvery-white light barrier were to disappear.

“How interesting…

“If I hadn’t obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao and gained the ability to detect these beings, I probably would have been given a fright by this sight, right?

“When a boundless world descends into destruction, the beings that live on it will either go extinct or start to evolve through their struggles. They’ll gradually evolve to fit in with their surrounding environment. What I’m witnessing can be described as a miracle of life forced into existence by the destruction of a world…”

An Lin felt like he had discovered a brand new world as he walked toward the silvery-white light barrier.

The light barrier detected An Lin’s presence and was just about to show hostility and attack him. However, An Lin’s state of existence suddenly transformed. He transformed into a being who was on the verge of existence and non-existence!

The silvery-white light barrier became confused at this instant.

It was unable to determine whether An Lin was a resident of its world.

At this moment, however, An Lin had already casually strolled into the light barrier. As if vanishing into thin air, he then suddenly disappeared into the barrier.

“Phew… Is this inside the light barrier?

“Such a calm environment. It’s completely different from the chaos and destruction outside…”

An Lin gazed at the beings who were walking around. These beings came in all shapes and sizes, yet they were all able to live together in harmony. There were at least hundreds of different species living inside this city. Some of these species were familiar to An Lin, yet some of them were very unfamiliar.

However, all of them lived in this city in that peculiar form of existence. In fact, some of the beings were even wearing bright and radiant smiles.

“Hmm? This little brother, you look very unfamiliar. Which region are you from?” a beautiful woman who was wearing revealing clothes walked over and asked with a smile.

As she asked this, she even used a round fan to lightly slap An Lin’s bottom.

“Which region…? This region!” An Lin—who hadn’t been teased for a very long time—answered with an innocent smile.

“This region? Heh, don’t lie to me! I’ve lived here for tens of thousands of years, and I’m familiar with tens of thousands of humans. However, I’ve never seen you before!”

The woman raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips curled up into a charming smile. She then tilted An Lin’s chin with her slender fingers and brought her face closer to his. Her expression was as if she wanted to hook his soul out, and she said, “Own up. Did you flee here from another region? Don’t worry, nothing will happen if you tell me the truth. Even if you don’t have any status, I can look after you if you stick with me…”

An Lin was stunned. She was doing such things in broad daylight? Was the culture here so open and forthright?

“Oh, is Sister Hong teasing young boys again?”

“She isn’t trying to trick him into joining the Red Ink Tavern, is she?”

“Hahaha! That young lad looks fairly handsome. Perhaps he can even become a small drawcard!”

The beings who were passing by watched on and chortled with keen interest, not caring about the commotion that they might cause.
