As the Universe Turns - Chapter 479
Chapter 479 Void Realm
“What should we do …”
Xiao Chen looked at the chaos in the surroundings and gradually became somewhat tired. Although wandering in this void did not consume much of his physical strength compared to Genuine energy. Compared to flying outside while riding a sword, it could be said to be a hair’s breadth. However, he was unable to recover in this void. No matter how many Genuine energy there were, there would still be a day when he would be exhausted.
If the day Genuine energy ran out, he would only be dead. Moreover, in this chaotic void, inside the forbidden area that did not resemble a twelve-fingered Heart Demon, as long as it passed, it would be as long as it passed outside. A hundred years passed here, and a hundred years would pass outside.
Unknowingly, another month had passed. Compared to the previous month, Xiao Chen was even more tired, and Luo Die had not woken up at all. Probably, she could only wake up when she went outside and used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to treat her injuries.
There was no end to the void, nor could there be an exit. It was unknown where the beams of light came from. Even if Xiao Chen floated towards the light source, he would not be able to reach them. It seemed like he was right in front of him, but in reality, no matter what, he would not be able to get close to those beams of light.
Now that he thought about it carefully, True Blood Drinker was the one who really colluded with Immortal Alliance, and Pili Zidian’s final appearance was beyond True Blood Drinker’s expectations.
Therefore, in the end, Daoist Blood Drink used the Blood Curse Escape Technique to forcefully flee. At this moment, Daoist Blood Drink had already escaped, but he and Luo Die were trapped in this spatial rift. As for what was happening to Daoist God Devil Tomb and Ji Wuyan’s group, he did not know, nor did he want to know, he only wanted to know how to leave this chaotic void.
As time passed, Xiao Chen felt that his Genuine energy was decreasing. Unknowingly, half a year had passed. He carried the Fallen Butterfly in his arms and wandered in the void for half a year. He could not find an exit and was lost in this chaos.
On this day, the corners of his mouth had already started to dry up, and the color of blood on his face was beginning to fade away. Due to the chronic lack of water and spiritual energy, his skin had also started to age and dry up. His entire body had already lost a lot of weight, and if this continued, he would only die in the end.
The only way to extend one’s life was to abandon this body and transform it into a soul body. Only then would one be able to continue wandering in this void for a long time. Even if a hundred years passed, one’s soul would not dissipate. In a hundred years, one might be able to find an exit. After that, one would be able to snatch away another body.
This was the best method at the moment, but the sacrifice was also very great. If he transformed into a soul body and seized another physical body, not to mention whether he could find a suitable physical body, even if he did, his cultivation would be greatly damaged.
Moreover, if he did this, the Fallen Butterfly would definitely die. After he abandoned his body, he could only bring along the Fusang Flower and other small things. It was impossible for him to bring the Fallen Butterfly and continue to wander like this.
Now, he had to make a decision.
Time passed. The entire chaotic void was still boundless. On this day, Xiao Chen could clearly feel the lack of Genuine energy. If this continued, he could no longer hold on. He could only give up his physical body and wander in the void with his primordial spirit.
However, in this way, Luo Die would not be saved …
Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked at the sleeping Fallen Butterfly. He suddenly remembered what happened in Yang Valley. He was seriously injured and about to die. It was the woman in front of him who came back to save him. When he lost his strength, it was the woman in front of him who went out to buy medicine for him and refine medicine for him …
But now, there was nothing he could do. He could not continue to bring the Fallen Butterfly forward. If not for the fact that he had brought the Fallen Butterfly with him at the beginning, he might have been able to hold on for another half a year. But now, he could not hold on any longer.
“I’m sorry …”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt a burst of heart-wrenching pain. It was so helpless and powerless.
He finally closed his eyes and slowly loosened his hands. However, the moment he loosened his hands, Luo Die suddenly woke up and said faintly, “Xiao … Childe …”
For half a year, he hadn’t heard any sound. Now that he heard this sound, he opened his eyes. He quickly stretched out his hands and grabbed Luo Die, who was about to float out.
“Luo Die?”
Xiao Chen never thought that he would think that she would be hopeless after being seriously injured, but he never expected that she would suddenly wake up at this moment. If he let her go just now, what difference would it make to killing her with his own hands? Kill … a person who saved his own life with his own hands?
“How are you?”
Seeing her wake up, Xiao Chen didn’t think too much about it. With a wave of his hand, he condensed the few Genuine energy left into her body. However, Luo Die grabbed his hand and shook his head, “Don’t waste Genuine energy anymore …”
“You just …”
Xiao Chen sighed softly and stopped talking. He thought that Luo Die had already woken up just now. He also discovered that he had let her go and that he had already decided to give up on her.
“Nothing …”
Luo Die smiled gently, her face was somewhat pale, her smile was filled with sadness. If she changed her identity, would she give up on him? She didn’t know either …
“I’ll take you away.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. Because Luo Die suddenly woke up, he seemed to have regained his composure. He hugged her and continued to float forward, searching for the exit of the crack.
“No … don’t …”
Luo Die shook her head and looked at him weakly, “You won’t be able to walk far with me …”
This time, Xiao Chen didn’t say anything and continued to float forward. After floating like this for an unknown amount of time, there was still no end to the void. Only the faint beams of light shone down from somewhere, but they couldn’t find the source of the light.
This place was like the boundless universe. For some reason, the temperature began to drop, becoming colder and colder. A layer of frost gradually condensed on their bodies.
“I … I can’t … It’s so cold, so cold …”
Luo Die’s body was already covered by a thick layer of ice crystals. Her entire body no longer had the strength to speak. Xiao Chen was still hugging her, and her body had already been covered by ice crystals.
The Void Realm in front of them was getting colder and colder. If this continued, the two of them would freeze to death in this spatial rift. No one could find them, and no one could save them.
“Luo Die, wake up … Luo Die … In front, in front …”
Right at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly saw a light appear in front of him. It was a crack, a crack leading to the outside.
“I found it. There’s an exit ahead … Luo Die, wake up!”
Xiao Chen instantly regained his spirits. He was certain that there must be a crack leading to the outside. It was just that he didn’t know how far it was and how long it would take for it to float over.
“Luo Die, wake up …”
Xiao Chen gently shook Luo Die a few times. However, this time, Luo Die was silent. A cold feeling slowly came from his palm.
