Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan experienced a piercing pain like a thousand cuts, a sensation he hadn't felt in a long time. The powerful tearing force dragged him forward at an incredible speed.

His divine sense and eyesight couldn't distinguish anything around him; he only saw a blur of light rushing past…

Besides the initial cyan and white colors, these lights eventually turned into a kaleidoscope of colors. The "Heaven Stealing Cloth" in his hand remained firmly attached, impossible to shake off.

She immediately recalled the feeling of imminent death she had experienced just now. Her heart pounded wildly.

Mei Hongyu knew that if it weren't for Li Yan's defense, she would have turned into a cloud of bloody dust in that instant. However, that power had almost reached her; the next moment, she would have died as well.

"This means his defense was broken. What is his situation now…"

Mei Hongyu didn't feel fortunate to have escaped death. She understood that something must have happened just now, catching Li Yan off guard.

If Li Yan's defense was broken, what kind of situation was he in now? Could a Spirit Storage Ring withstand that suddenly appearing terrifying force…

Li Yan was still struggling to hold on. He felt like he was constantly traveling through something. He had already stored the "Earth Spot" into his body…

At some point, Li Yan's vision suddenly darkened, then brightened again.

Although he still felt the pain of a thousand cuts, the continuous, relentless suction force from outside vanished instantly.

This allowed his body to no longer be harmed by being pulled. At the same time, all the white light enveloping his body instantly flowed back into the "Heaven Stealing Cloth."

What appeared before him was an endless sea, but the color of the seawater here was black.

As soon as he could see clearly, Li Yan immediately instinctively sent out his divine sense. After appearing here, he still hadn't been attacked.

His divine sense quickly detected some creatures, but only some low-level sea beasts. It was possible that he was tens of thousands of feet above the sea surface, which was why he hadn't been attacked.

Li Yan didn't have time to think and hovered in the air. In front of him appeared many pill bottles.

Then, the stoppers of the bottles popped open quickly, and pills of various colors flew out with streaks of rainbow light, landing on various parts of Li Yan's body.

Li Yan's appearance was very miserable at this time. At this moment, he had completely lost his human form, and half of the flesh on his skeleton had disappeared.

The internal organs inside the skeleton were wrapped in a layer of dancing silver light, which was the result of Li Yan's desperate protection. Much of the skin on his face had also peeled off, and his head was a large patch of red and white…

After the pills flew into the bloody mess, the silver light quickly flickered, causing the flesh on Li Yan's body to rapidly regenerate at an alarming rate.

At this moment, Li Yan gave people the feeling that his body surface was covered with a layer of silver tide. Without the terrifying damage from the outside world, Li Yan's flesh and blood quickly solidified and appeared at an astonishing speed…

Only a dozen breaths later, Li Yan's body was once again covered in a black robe. When he looked around again at this time, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

No matter how he looked at this world, it seemed very familiar to him. He suspiciously surveyed the surrounding environment.

Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and those dark clouds were layered like heavy mountains, as if there would be a torrential rain at any moment.

Here, in the howling wind, the seawater below was constantly rushing into the sky. Everywhere was filled with turbulent waves, like the sea was being turned upside down.

Li Yan didn't feel any spiritual energy here. In his divine sense, there was only endless seawater. His divine sense swept wildly in all directions, only occasionally seeing a few small islands.

"No way?"

Li Yan quickly retracted his divine sense. He had a rough guess about this place, but it shocked him immensely. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Then, he looked at the object floating in front of him, a brocade cloth, which was the mysterious "Heaven Stealing Cloth" that had flown away from Li Yan's palm on its own after he came out.

But at this moment, after Li Yan had guessed the location where he had appeared, his heart was even more filled with disbelief and horror towards the "Heaven Stealing Cloth."

He didn't know why such a thing had happened. He needed to find a place to stay temporarily. With a surge of magic power, Li Yan firmly controlled the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" once more.

Although the current "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" seemed harmless, completely devoid of any unusual movements, it had been terrifyingly powerful before, leaving him powerless to resist.

Li Yan didn't dare to be careless. The few times this thing had appeared afterward, it had become increasingly strange…

On an island, besides a large expanse of reefs, only some seaweed emerged from the crevices, resembling clusters of low, black specters.

They writhed their bodies constantly in the shallow seawater with the waves. After Li Yan landed here, he directly chose a larger reef to stand on.

Then, with a flick of Li Yan's sleeve, streaks of purple light flashed out. Immediately, array flags flashed and disappeared into the surrounding reefs.

Although Li Yan felt he had basically confirmed his location, the necessary defenses were indispensable.

After the purple light flashed rapidly around, Li Yan's figure disappeared from the reef!

Inside the array, the howling wind outside abruptly stopped. Li Yan was already sitting cross-legged on the reef, and then his divine sense immediately probed into the brocade scarf in his hand…

A day later, Li Yan's divine sense finally withdrew from the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf." He still couldn't unravel the messy, disordered threads, and he couldn't continue probing any further.

Li Yan felt dizzy and his head was throbbing. If he continued to use his divine sense to travel through it, he might directly vomit.

He took a few deep breaths before he felt the stuffiness in his chest dissipate, and then he slowly steadied his mind.

Although he had withdrawn his divine sense, he still held the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" in front of his eyes, and then observed it bit by bit with his eyesight.

After turning it over and over like this, he sacrificed the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" again, covering it on the "Ghost Traces" array he had set up next to him, and then carefully observed the changes in the array…

Time passed quickly again. After another half a day, Li Yan held the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" in his hand again, his whole person plunged into contemplation.

The "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" suddenly returned to normal. No matter how he urged it with magic power and divine sense, the kind of desire that had appeared when it communicated with him before never appeared again.

Not to mention that it could fly up on its own at this time, it was completely like a dead object. Where was the terrifying power it had before!

Although the abnormality of the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf" was greater this time, the result was not the same as on the ice plain. There was not even the slightest change.

The "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf's" great strange movements seemed to be just to bring him out, and then it lost all its function, without any further movement.

"The 'Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf's' speed of cracking the Ghost Traces array has not improved at all, it is still so slow.

The breaking of the restriction in half a day has almost only a little bit of change. How did it suddenly become so weak…"

Li Yan kept flashing various thoughts in his mind…

About half an hour later, Li Yan stood up with a calm expression. This time, he put away the "Stealing Heaven Silk Scarf."

But he didn't bring Mei Hongyu out, nor did he notify her of his situation, but quickly flew in one direction. He needed to confirm some things again.

Two days later, Li Yan stopped again on a small island in the black sea. He had determined his location.

And it was precisely because of this initial guess that made him shocked beyond words. Li Yan had been constantly reconfirming his location in the past few days.

Li Yan couldn't imagine that he had come to the North Nether Sea, the North Nether Sea on the Desolate Moon Continent!

This was when Li Yan had doubts and guesses when he first explored the surrounding environment. He had been to the North Nether Sea several times, so he had a deep memory of the special environment here.

When Li Yan first had a guess, he could only describe his feelings as stormy waves in his heart. Everything gave him a feeling as if he was in a dream.

He was squeezed out from the Lost Continent, and then he arrived at the edge of the unknown Void River.

Although Li Yan didn't have time to carefully examine the Void River at that time, Li Yan knew the result of the exclusion of the laws of heaven and earth. He was no longer within the Three Realms.

As for the origin of that Void River, Li Yan had guessed its origin in the Cyan Light Space, and felt that it might be the legendary "Tongtian River."

There are many legends about the "Tongtian River", but basically they are all exaggerations, or even fabricated records.

Perhaps someone has seen the "Tongtian River" and returned alive to the Three Realms, but their records have either been lost or have been mixed with too much false information.

However, all the information that mentions the "Tongtian River" says that it no longer belongs to the Three Realms. It is the most primitive heaven and earth space, and should have been born before the beginning of Hongmeng.

It's just that the original space outside the Three Realms is still vast and boundless, and the "Tongtian River" is just one of the places.

The original space is the origin of all things, and the "Tongtian River" is the heaven and earth river that breeds true gods like Pangu and Nuwa.

It is said that only the top existences among the True Immortals may be able to find this river outside the Three Realms by their own power.

The probability of encountering the "Tongtian River" by chance outside the Three Realms after being squeezed out by the laws of heaven and earth like himself should also be extremely slim.

It is said that if you can truly master the power in this river, then you can reach the existence of a true god, which is the supreme existence that will never be destroyed from generation to generation.
