Killing God - Chapter 440
Chapter 440 Desert
When the darkness surged over and drowned his body, Shen Shi even deliberately turned around to take a look. The Little Hei Pig had always been following at his feet and followed him curiously into the darkness. Naturally, there were quite a few people who saw this little pig, but no one stopped it.
Until this moment, Shen Shi didn’t know if Xiao Hei could follow him into the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm.
In the next moment, Shen Shi seemed to have suddenly stepped into another space-time. There was an illusion that he was suddenly in the boundless night sky. The darkness seemed boundless, covering the entire world. In the sky above him, stars dotted the night sky.
He seemed to have seen the stars, but then he felt that they didn’t seem to be very similar. They weren’t stars, but just rays of light that flew through the night sky, flying straight into the distance. When his mind was settled, he hurriedly lowered his head and saw Little Hei suddenly appear at his feet in the darkness. For some reason, his four limbs suddenly tightly hugged one of his ankles, as if he was hanging from it. His mouth moved a few times, and it seemed that he was snorting in dissatisfaction.
Shen Shi laughed and felt much more at ease.
The darkness obscured his vision, causing the surroundings to suddenly widen. He felt like an ant that had suddenly fallen into the boundless ocean, isolated and helpless, and there was no sound of a human figure around him.
Then, his body suddenly lightened. When he lowered his head to look, he saw only that gentle yet bright ray of light surrounding his body. Even Little Black flew into the depths of the darkness. Gradually, he also turned into an inconspicuous ray of light in the night sky.
The darkness opened its arms and welcomed the flickering beams of light. Although everything looked strange, it was still very stable and calm. Some of the beams at the front seemed to have flown into the deepest depths of the darkness and then disappeared. The beams of light behind them were still flying like meteors across the night sky of the universe.
Sparks and dots, there was actually a strange beauty.
However, at this moment, for some reason, at the top of all the beams of light, the black night sky that seemed to be as deep as eternity suddenly trembled violently.
In the entire world of darkness, with this sudden shock, it was like an originally intact transparent cup. Suddenly, a few cracks appeared.
The crack was the sudden appearance of thunder and lightning above the radiance. After the thunder and lightning, a layer of bright red clouds suddenly appeared like blood, illuminating the night sky. It was like a nebula in the distant night sky, rapidly spinning into a huge vortex. In the center of the vortex, there was a huge black hole that was as deep as ink, without the slightest bit of light. A terrifying storm suddenly blew in from afar, After tearing apart all the objects near the vortex nebula, a few unlucky-looking meteoric lights flashed past the nebula. In the blink of an eye, they were sucked in. Furthermore, there seemed to be no sound of struggling and screaming. In almost an instant, everything dissipated into nothingness.
All the beams of light in the night sky seemed to be stunned at that moment. However, in this strange rift tunnel, it seemed that all of the power was completely trapped in that light. No one had any way to change their trajectory. They could only involuntarily fly forward to the deepest depths of the darkness.
The blazing lightning tore through the night sky, looking extremely ferocious. It was as if a demon that had jumped out of the Netherworld Underworld had opened its bloody hand towards the ant-like brilliance. Beams of light flashed past, avoiding the nebula and luckily avoiding the disaster. Then, seven or eight streaks of starlight could not help but rush past the huge nebula and silently be swallowed up.
Shen Shi was dumbfounded in the radiance as he watched all of this. His mind seemed to have frozen, and he could hardly believe his own eyes. Didn’t I already say that there were many dangers in Wentian Secret Realm, but in the process of entering and leaving the secret realm, it was always the safest?
Could it be that he was hallucinating when he saw this tragic scene?
He felt that his throat was suddenly extremely dry. Fortunately, this beam of light was far enough away from the terrifying blood-red nebula to brush past Reaper. However, in that strange light, he blankly sank into the darkness in front of him.

“Boom!”
It was as if a loud explosion was heard, causing Shen Shi’s mind to tremble and his ears to buzz. His entire body seemed to have suddenly collided with an incomparably hard wall, and with a “bang”, his entire body was bounced away.
The force of this collision was truly extraordinary. Shen Shi even felt as if his bones were scattered. Fortunately, his foundation was stable and his body was tough. He lay on the ground and grinned for a long time before recovering his strength. He slowly sat up and looked around.
At first glance, he saw Little Hei.
The Little Hei pig seemed to have encountered the same fate as its owner. It had also bumped into something and rolled around on the ground for several times before stopping beside Shen Shi. However, compared to Shen Shi’s cold breathing and grinning appearance, Little Hei only seemed to be a little dizzy, as if he had circled around a little too much. Then, he tilted his head and calmed himself down. He stood up and snorted at Shen Shi, looking completely unharmed.
Shen Shi was already not surprised by this little pig whose skin was so thick that it was hard to understand. At this moment, he could only smile bitterly. He turned around and looked around. A moment later, he was instantly stunned.
Everywhere he could see, a vast expanse of yellow sand.
A blazing sun hung in the sky, and the yellow sand was boundless. The air was filled with a scorching aura. Looking at this scene, did he seem to have fallen into a desert?
Shen Shi frowned. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and looked around. The sand dunes rose and fell endlessly. No matter which direction he looked from, he couldn’t see the boundaries, let alone any green colors, including living animals.
Between heaven and earth, there was a loneliness, as if there was only warm sunlight and scorching air that made people feel uncomfortable.
Shen Shi stood on the spot and thought about it carefully. Then, with some misfortune, he discovered that before entering Wentian Secret Realm, he had also asked some senior brothers and sisters about their experiences in this secret realm. They had also said some of their best experiences in various terrain, but no one had ever encountered such a desert terrain.
No one had mentioned it at all …
Shen Shi shook his head and laughed bitterly in his heart. He looked at Little Hei, who seemed to be fine and was looking curiously at the desert scene he had never seen before. “Well, although this place isn’t good, it isn’t particularly bad. It’s better than landing in a group of powerful demonic beasts, right, Little Hei?”
Little Hei snorted twice. He didn’t know if he agreed with Shen Shi’s words, but it seemed that he didn’t agree with Shen Shi’s words.
Shen Shi was too lazy to pay attention to it. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and casually grabbed a handful of sand from the sand beneath his feet. He carefully looked at it. The sand under the blazing sun was extremely hot, but to cultivators, this little heat was nothing. Apart from that, the sand here was extremely fine. Shen Shi even noticed that most of the fine grains of sand seemed to be similar in appearance.
However, other than that, there was nothing strange about the sand here.
Shen Shi shook his head and casually tossed away the sand. Just as he was about to move forward and begin exploring this strange place, he was suddenly stunned. He stopped and revealed a puzzled expression on his face.
He looked around with astonishment in his eyes. Just now, when he landed here, he clearly felt as if he had crashed into a wall like a stone. Even the little pig looked the same. But now, he looked around and saw yellow sand rising and falling in the sand dunes. Most of the places were flat terrain, but where was there any high wall blocking him?
At this moment, he was really puzzled, and then naturally, he thought of the terrifying and magnificent changes that had occurred in that strange night sky-like passage gap in the process of entering Wentian Secret Realm. When he thought of the blood-red nebula whirlpool in his mind, he couldn’t help but tremble. It was a natural fear of a completely irresistible power.
But … why would there be such a change?
If there was such a terrible danger in the process of entering Wentian Secret Realm, then the elders of the sect, including senior apprentices and senior apprentices, would never not mention it. However, it was clear that everyone knew nothing about this sudden appearance … Thinking back to the dozen or so strands of starlight devoured by the vortex, Shen Shi’s heart sank.
I hope I don’t have any friends I know, but I’m unlucky to encounter such an unlucky thing.
He took a deep breath. Putting aside these thoughts in his mind, it was clear that this was not the time to get into a dilemma. The most important thing was that he had already arrived at the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm and was in a completely unfamiliar environment. Thus, exploring the surrounding environment, searching for possible spirit materials and treasures, and even the legendary inheritance of fortune were the most important things at hand.
He shouted at Little Hei and prepared to walk forward. However, when he chose the direction, Shen Shi still hesitated for a moment. In this desert, the scenery in all directions looked exactly the same, and it was hard to tell where it might be different. Therefore, in the end, Shen Shi casually chose a direction and walked over with Little Hei.
The blazing sun hung high and the yellow sand was boundless. This path seemed to be endless, or rather, there was no path in front of Shen Shi at this moment. He walked through the fine sand, leaving behind footprints of his own. However, when he occasionally turned around, he would see a wind sweeping through the depths of the desert. Waves of yellow sand gently blew from far to near, slowly drowning the footprints on the road behind him. From deep to shallow, they disappeared, as if no one had ever walked past them.
When Shen Shi saw that scene, he remained silent for a while. Then, he didn’t say anything else and continued to walk forward.
The heavens and the earth were vast and lofty, but at this moment, he seemed to be the only one left in the human world.
After walking for about two hours, What Shen Shi saw in front of him was actually the exact same desert scenery as before. This made him somewhat irritated. As his mind rotated, he wondered if he was going to pull out the Snow Pouring Sword. If he was flying with the sword, his speed would naturally be a hundred times faster than it was now, and his line of sight would definitely be much wider when he ascended into the air.
However, after thinking for a moment, Shen Shi started to hesitate again. To a disciple of the Origin Condensation Realm, flying with a sword was not something that could be easily absorbed as if nothing had happened. In such an unfamiliar environment, it was obviously not a good thing to be able to easily consume a large amount of Spiritual Energy within his body.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Shen Shi decided to continue walking for a while. After all, for cultivators, walking on such a level path would not require much physical strength. At most, it would only take a little more time. The newcomers had better be more cautious.
Thus, he brought Xiao Hei, one man and one pig, and walked in the desert for another two hours.
Seeing the blazing sun gradually turn westward, Shen Shi couldn’t help but feel a little irritated. Just as he was hesitating, Xiao Hei suddenly whispered to a tall sand dune in front of him, his voice carrying some abnormalities.
Shen Shi raised his eyebrows and turned to look. After pondering for a moment, he led Little Hei towards the dune. After about half a cup of tea, he and Little Hei reached the top of the dune. As they looked forward, Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled.
Under the sunlight, a different scenery finally appeared in the originally unchanging desert.
