Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

He grabbed Su Xiaowan, who was also swaying beside him, and roared at Lin Wan'er with all his might.

"Get in! Now! Immediately!"

There was no time to explain.

There is no time to hesitate.

They couldn't even withstand a single move from that mysterious demonic cultivator leader.

Staying means certain death, and the Star Chart Bronze Disc will inevitably fall into enemy hands.

The only chance of survival lies behind this door.

The moment Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan saw the black streak of light, they understood Luo Qingchen's intention.

There was not a trace of hesitation in their eyes.

They had absolute, unconditional trust in Luo Qingchen.

However, just as they were about to rush towards the stargate...

From all directions came frantic shouts and the sound of something breaking through the air.

"The stargate has opened! Quick! Seize the opportunity!"

The silver sword ship of the Sky-Piercing Sword Sect, like a giant sword, tore through the sky. The sharp ram at the bow gleamed with a chilling light, its target pointing directly at the Star Gate.

"Hahaha! How could we let your Heavenly Sword Sect monopolize such an opportunity!"

The golden palace of Wanbaoge burst forth with boundless golden light, and countless array runes flowed across its surface, increasing its speed to the extreme.

These Eastern Continent giants, who had previously been intimidated by True Man Xuan Yang, completely tore off their disguises and revealed their greedy fangs in the face of the immense temptation of the Star Gate.

They all wanted to be the first to enter the Stargate.

Whoever enters first will gain the upper hand and may even find a way to control the star gate, thus seizing this tremendous opportunity for themselves.

Several figures leaped out from the two cloud boats; they were all Nascent Soul stage elders.

They transformed into streaks of light of various colors, rushing headlong towards the precipice of the sky.

An unprecedented melee is about to erupt.

The fastest one was still the leader of the demonic cultivators with the silver mask.

In the blink of an eye, he had already traversed a hundred miles and appeared above the Heavenly Cliff.

His cold, emotionless gaze swept over the cultivators below who were rushing towards him like ants, and finally landed on Luo Qingchen and his two companions, as well as on the star gate that exuded endless allure.

"stop."

Two words were slowly uttered from beneath the silver mask.

The voice was hoarse and distorted, as if it were not a human being's.

As his words fell.

An invisible yet heavy force, as immeasurable as a mountain, descended instantly.

The entire space of Tianjue Cliff seemed to be frozen.

Luo Qingchen and the other two felt a sudden heaviness on their bodies, as if they were carrying an invisible mountain, making it extremely difficult to even lift their feet.

Their momentum was abruptly halted.

"The star map is mine."

The leader with the silver mask slowly raised a hand.

The hand was dry and pale, like the hand of a dead person.

In his palm, a jet-black energy ball, spinning continuously and radiating a terrifying aura of destruction, was rapidly condensing.

Luo Qingchen's heart sank to the bottom.

He could feel himself being locked onto by an incredibly powerful aura.

He had no doubt that as soon as that energy ball was released, he would be instantly reduced to ashes.

Can't run away.

There's no escaping it.

Am I really going to die here?

A hint of resentment flashed in Luo Qingchen's eyes.

He turned around and glanced at the star gate, which seemed so close yet so far away.

He saw that the vortex of the stargate was beginning to shrink at a slow, yet irreversible, rate.

Stargates cannot exist forever.

Its opening consumed the entire Qingyun Sect's millennia-long reserves, as well as Bai Ling'er's true dragon power.

Now, this energy is dissipating rapidly.

At most, in ten more breaths, this door will close completely.

Ten breaths.

Life and death hang in the balance between these ten breaths.

Luo Qingchen's gaze swept over Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan beside him.

Their faces showed fear, but even more so, a resolute determination to live and die with him.

He glanced again at the distance, at Li Jianyi, Qian Wanli, and the others who were rushing towards him frantically.

Then, his gaze returned to the silver-masked leader.

A crazy idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

Take a gamble!
"hold me!"

Luo Qingchen let out a low growl at the two women.

Then, he did something that surprised everyone.

Instead of continuing his charge toward the star gate, he turned around and headed towards the silver-masked leader.

He abandoned all defenses.

He poured the last remaining trace of his new power, which had just been formed by the fusion of three forces, into his back, creating an extremely fragile yet resilient energy shield.

He had to... take that blow head-on!
"court death."

The leader with the silver mask let out a disdainful snort.

The black energy ball in his hand flew out.

There was no earth-shattering momentum.

The energy ball simply transformed into a thin black line, silently and instantly traversing the distance of space, imprinting itself on Luo Qingchen's back.

boom!
An indescribable, excruciating pain instantly spread throughout Luo Qingchen's entire body.

He felt as if his internal organs had been shattered into powder by this single blow.

His bones were broken inch by inch.

His consciousness went blank for a moment.

A mouthful of blood, like a jet of blood, gushed out of his mouth.

However, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He succeeded.

He was not directly annihilated by that terrifying destructive energy.

He used that sliver of newborn power to barely counteract its destructive properties.

What remains is pure, unimaginably vast kinetic energy!

Luo Qingchen's body felt as if it had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer.

He flew backward like a cannonball, at a speed more than ten times faster than when he came.

His target was that slowly shrinking stargate!

He borrowed the power of the Silver Mask leader's single strike!
"what?"

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in the silver-masked leader's eternally cold eyes.

He couldn't understand how this ant, who hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage, had survived his attack.

He couldn't understand why the other side would dare to use his attack as a booster for escape.

What incredible courage!
How crazy!
"Don't even think about leaving!"

The silver-masked leader roared and flashed away, about to give chase.

But, it's too late.

Luo Qingchen's backward flight was incredibly fast.

He grabbed Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan, who were already prepared, and the three of them transformed into a blood-red shooting star in the air.

In the final moments before the Star Gate shrank to the size of only one person, just as the experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion rushed onto the Heavenly Cliff, still hundreds of feet away from the Star Gate.

On the silver surface

Amidst the leader's furious roar.

They stumbled headlong into that deep and mysterious vortex of starlight.

The three figures were instantly swallowed up by the seven-colored starlight and disappeared.

And in the very next instant after they disappeared.

Boom!

The stargate is completely closed.

The immense spatial energy, now freed from its constraints, suddenly erupted.

A violent spatial storm swept across the entire summit of Tianjue Cliff.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the forefront were torn to shreds in an instant by the chaotic spatial power before they could even utter a scream.

The silver-masked leader, Li Jianyi, Qian Wanli, and others were also forced to retreat in a sorry state by this storm.

When all is said and done.

At the summit of Tianjue Cliff, only that dilapidated altar remains.

The stargate has disappeared.

Luo Qingchen disappeared.

The ancient treasure coveted by countless people, the bronze star map disc, also disappeared.

The air was filled with a deathly silence.

Everyone's face was filled with resentment, anger, and... bewilderment.

They went to great lengths, even risking war with the Qingyun Sect, but in the end, they could only watch helplessly as their greatest opportunity slipped away.

The leader of the silver-masked figures floated silently in mid-air.

He stared at the empty altar, his eyes beneath the mask gleaming with a cold and dangerous light.

"No matter which world you escape to..."

"I will find you."

pain.

Boundless pain.

It felt as if my entire body had been thrown into a meat grinder, repeatedly torn apart, crushed, and then forcibly pieced back together.

Luo Qingchen's consciousness rose and fell in this chaotic ocean of pain.

He felt as if he were traveling through a turbulent and winding river.

He was surrounded by bizarre colors, piercing noises, and a torrent of chaotic information, all of which assaulted his already fragile soul.

Is this what it feels like to pass through a stargate?
It is ten thousand times more violent and painful than any other teleportation array.

I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a moment, or it might be millions of years.

The force that was tearing at his body finally disappeared.

He felt as if he had been violently thrown out of that raging river.

puff.

He fell heavily onto a soft, even slightly slippery, surface and lost consciousness completely.

……

"Cough cough..."

A violent cough roused Lin Wan'er from her unconsciousness.

She felt as if her head was about to split open, the world was spinning, and her stomach was churning.

She struggled to sit up, but found her whole body weak and unable to muster any strength.

The spiritual energy within his body was in complete chaos and could not circulate at all.

"This is where?"

Su Xiaowan's voice came from not far away, also filled with weakness and confusion.

Lin Wan'er shook her dizzy head, forced herself to stay awake, and opened her eyes.

Then, she was completely stunned by the sight before her.

sky.

The sky here is not azure, but a deep indigo, like the finest silk.

There was no sun in the sky.

Instead, there were three moons of different sizes and colors.

One of them was silvery-white, radiating a soft glow.

One of them is pale gold, like amber.

There was another round, the smallest, but an eerie blood red, adding a touch of strangeness to this unfamiliar world.

air.

The air here, when inhaled, carries a slightly cool, metallic, sweet, and slightly fishy smell.

The air was filled with an energy they had never felt before.

This energy is much richer and wilder than the spiritual energy of the Eastern Continent.

It's like an untamed wild horse, full of primal, vibrant, and star-like energy.

However, this energy was like a mild poison to them, who were used to spiritual energy, making them feel uncomfortable.

ground.

The ground beneath their feet was neither soil nor rock.

Instead, it's a thick, spongy substance that resembles moss but is dark purple and feels soft when stepped on.

Countless strange-looking plants grow around them.

Some of them, like giant mushrooms, tens of feet tall, had caps that were translucent crystals, with shimmering light inside, making the land appear to be in a state of alternating light and shadow.

Some, however, appear to have grown out of the ground, twisted metal, with trunks and branches that are bronze in color and shimmer with a cold metallic luster.

Further afield, there are even enormous rocks that defy common sense, floating silently in mid-air, forming islands in the sky.

Tiny waterfalls, like stardust, flowed slowly down from the edges of the floating islands, drawing dreamlike streaks of light in the air.

This is a completely unfamiliar, fantastical, and brand-new world.

"Luo... Senior Brother Luo!"

Lin Wan'er finally snapped out of her shock, and the first person she thought of was Luo Qingchen.

She frantically searched around, and soon, under a crystal mushroom not far away, she saw the figure covered in blood, motionless.

"Senior Brother Luo!"

Lin Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, disregarding her weakness, and scrambled over to get there.

Su Xiaowan also forced herself to keep up and followed.

When they saw the injuries on Luo Qingchen's back, their hearts sank to the bottom.

That can no longer be called a wound.

Luo Qingchen's entire back was a bloody mess, charred black, and you could even see the white, broken bones inside.

The demonic energy belonging to the silver-masked leader, filled with destructive power, still clung to the wound like a leech, constantly corroding his life force.

His breathing was extremely faint.

His heart almost stopped beating.

"Medicine! Quick! Use medicine!"

With trembling hands, Su Xiaowan took out a bottle of top-grade healing pills from her storage bag and hurriedly tried to feed them to Luo Qingchen.

"it's useless……"

Tears welled up in Lin Wan'er's eyes, and her voice carried a hint of despair.

"That demonic energy was too domineering; the medicinal power of the pills was corroded as soon as it entered."

She tried to channel her spiritual energy into Luo Qingchen's body to help him heal.

However, the moment her spiritual power entered Luo Qingchen's meridians, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, instantly swallowed up by that domineering demonic energy.

How to do?
In the end how to do?
Could it be that Luo Qingchen, having risked everything to bring them to this new world, is destined to die here? (End of Chapter)
