I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian sheathed his sword, and his boots sizzled as they stepped on the writhing black slime.

Those slimes are not inanimate objects.

As if they were alive, they greedily tried to cling to Shen Tian's boots, attempting to squeeze into the gaps and touch his warm flesh.

"snort."

Shen Tian snorted coldly.

boom!

Purple, annihilating lightning exploded along his legs, instantly evaporating the black viscous liquid within a ten-meter radius into nothingness black smoke.

【Ding! 】

[Defeat Voidling - Aberrant Fusion, gain 10000 Kill Points!]

Ok?

What is this Void Familiar - Aberration Fusion?

It seems that after the Shadow Demon mutated, the system re-evaluated its life form.

and.

10,000 points!

Shen Tian's pupils contracted slightly.

It should be noted that the Golden Light Dragon Falcon, which is also at the peak of the fifth rank, only received 7000 points.

This Shadow Demon, which had completely gone mad and even suffered physical collapse, actually dropped a huge sum of 10,000 points.

"It seems that although this thing is insane, its level of life has been upgraded because of this strange space."

Shen Tian stared thoughtfully at the last remaining black mark on the ground.

This also explains why it can instantly recover from injuries and even devour lightning.

If it weren't for possessing the unreasonable heavy weapon [Heavenly Sin], and having the characteristic of [One Force Breaks All Laws] to forcibly sever its connection with this space, this battle would probably have taken quite a while.

[Would you like to consume 10000 kill points to plunder the purple (mutated) talent: [Unspeakable Body]?]

Shen Tian's breathing paused for a moment.

Has the talent mutated?

This is the first time.

"plunder."

Shen Tian silently recited in his heart.

Ten thousand kill points were deducted instantly.

that moment.

It didn't have that comforting feeling of warmth flowing in like before.

in contrast.

Shen Tian felt as if he had swallowed a piece of burning charcoal, or as if countless cold, slippery little snakes were crawling into every corner of his body through his veins.

"whee……"

"Can you see me...?"

"Flesh and blood...it's so delicious..."

After a while.

The wandering sensation under Shen Tian's skin disappeared.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and summoned a new attribute panel.

New purple light text appeared.

[Talent Name: The Indescribable Body]

[Rank: Purple]

[Entry Description: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. In that case, gouge out the eyes of the abyss and press them upon yourself. You have come into contact with the laws of the "Old Ones." You are an observer walking on the edge of reason.]

[Rational Collapse: Active Skill. Upon activation, you emit an indescribable field of mental pollution. Enemies who look directly at you or sense you will suffer 300% true damage per second and be forced into random negative statuses such as "Confusion," "Fear," and "Self-Destruction." Targets with lower mental strength than you can be directly "assimilated" into puppets under your control.]

[Void Table: All your attacks inflict the "Gluttony" trait. Enemies you wound will have their flesh and blood essence forcibly extracted to repair your injuries or restore your stamina.]

After reviewing these two attributes.

Shen Tian remained silent for two seconds.

Then he grinned, revealing a slightly ferocious smile.

"abnormal."

"But I like it."

"These 10000 kill points were totally worth it."

Shen Tian closed the panel with satisfaction.

at this time.

The surrounding gray fog seemed to have become even thicker.

The feeling of being watched did not disappear; on the contrary, it became even stronger with the death of the Shadow Demon.

The owner of this space seemed to have been startled by the commotion or the death of the "thief."

The ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly.

The distorted silhouettes of the black buildings in the distance seemed to come alive, slowly moving toward them.

"We can't stay here any longer."

Shen Tian composed himself.

Although he gained some "unspeakable" power, it doesn't mean he can run wild on other people's turf.

That shadow demon went mad after just ingesting a little bit of the mist.

Heaven knows what terrifying things are lurking deep within this fog.

"This place is not safe to stay for long."

Shen Tian put away the panel and glanced at the gray mist around him, which seemed to be writhing with life.

The malice of being spied on grew stronger, as if countless unseen eyes were breathing against the back of his neck.

Although he has just acquired a powerful skill that counters certain types of abilities, it doesn't mean he can roam freely in this unknown and bizarre space.

The recently deceased Shadow Demon serves as a cautionary tale.

This is the other side of the real world, a forbidden zone for reason.

"Walk!"

Shen Tian no longer hesitated.

boom--!!!

The cyan wind wings on its back suddenly unfolded, and the violent airflow instantly dispersed the gray mist within a ten-meter radius.

【Garuda - Wings That Hang from the Sky】!

A thousand miles in an instant!

Shen Tian's figure instantly transformed into a blurry streak of light, hurtling straight toward the "sky" of this dark space at a terrifying speed of 20 times the speed of sound.

There was no sonic boom.

Because the air here is so thin it's almost nonexistent, only those ash-like particles produce a string of lifeless sparks from high-speed friction.

One second, 6,800 meters.

Ten seconds, sixty-eight kilometers.

This is a speed that modern human technology can hardly match, enough to cross a province in a short time.

According to Shen Tian's calculations, no matter how large the ground is, flying at this speed, it should at least touch the boundary barrier of this space.

however.

A minute passed.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes have passed.

Shen Tian's brows furrowed more and more, until he finally had to stop.

He hovered in mid-air, his face grim.

There are no boundaries.

There is no end.

Even the reference point remained unchanged.

The sky above remained that same leaden gray, oppressive smog.

Beneath my feet was still that black earth, flowing with an oily, viscous substance.

The most outrageous.

Just a few kilometers directly in front of him, the silhouettes of several twisted and intertwined black buildings stood silently in the depths of the gray fog.

The shape, the angle, even the half-hanging "optic nerve" of the street lamp next to him, were exactly the same as what he had seen ten minutes ago.

"A ghost wall?"

Shen Tian muttered to himself, his voice sounding particularly abrupt in the deathly silent space.

If it's a spatial fold or loop, he will definitely be able to detect the spatial fluctuations the moment he passes through the "node" thanks to his keen perception of "Void Walking".

but.

The ten-minute flight just now was completely uneventful.

This means that, on a physical level, he is indeed moving in a straight line.

Since it's flying in a straight line, why didn't the scenery change?

【Tianxin Tong】

Omniscient Realm!

The feedback sent Shen Tian's heart sinking to the bottom.

They are exactly the same.

It was neither an illusion nor a projection.

Those buildings and those cracks in the ground are real physical entities.

This is like an infinitely copied and pasted low-quality texture.

No matter which direction you go, you'll always be facing the same map.

Shen Tian withdrew his mental energy and did not show any panic.

In situations like these, absolute calm is essential.

If you panic and rush around like a headless fly, even if you die of exhaustion here, you'll only be adding another fresh, mutated corpse to this space.

He simply closed his eyes, cutting off his vision.

In a place filled with mental pollution and cognitive distortion, sometimes the eyes are the biggest liars.

Instead of continuing to explore the surrounding terrain, he began to observe his own mind and thoughts.

"I see."

Shen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

But in reality, there is no such thing as infinitely expandable space.

His body may not have moved much at all.

It might even be spinning in circles.

It's not that the space is folded.

Rather, his "cognition" was folded.
