Night of Despair-Chapter 524 - 522 returned 2

Chapter 524: 522 returned 2

Inside the Wanxue Palace.

Yu Xuezi stood in a side hall, carefully painting the afternoon sunset with a brush.

The soft red sunlight slanted into the palace, casting his shadow long and old.

“In such a rush, what’s the urgent matter? Yu Hu?”

Without turning around, he already knew of Yu Hong’s arrival.

“Master! I recently noticed something about the mark left on someone I care about, and it seems unusual. I suspect there might be trouble. Could I take leave to return and check on things?”

Yu Hong entered the side hall, bowed with clasped hands, and explained immediately.

“Just go yourself; come back after resolving it.” Yu Xuezi turned his head to look at him.

“But, I can’t go back. Once I return… I’m afraid it will be very difficult to come back to the Mining Star…” Yu Hong worriedly said.

He could indeed return, but returning to the Mining Star would be much harder, as he relied on the Savior Ship drifting around without a map before.

“I see, that’s easy to handle.” Yu Xuezi pondered for a moment and then walked out of the hall.

After a while, he returned and handed Yu Hong a brass ball the size of a palm.

“This is the Water Instrument Ball, which can discern directions within a Star Disaster and open a portal back to the Mining Star. There’s no distance limit. It’s a must-have for disciples from Qinghe Mountain going on journeys. Unless you’ve gone deep into some extremely intense Star Disaster, this can bring you back.”

“The usage is to input your True Qi. The further the distance, the more True Qi it requires, so you may need to input for multiple times. Don’t worry about not having enough, you can input multiple times.”

Listening to this, Yu Hong was delighted, quickly receiving the Water Instrument Ball.

“Thank you, Master!”

“It’s nothing, do you need help?” Yu Xuezi asked again.

“No need; I just need to temporarily release part of the seal in my body.” Yu Hongdao said.

“The seal shouldn’t be recklessly touched, or the situation will worsen.” Yu Xuezi contemplated a bit.

“How about this, let your senior brothers and sisters come over, wait a moment.”

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, then changed the topic, starting to inquire about other matters.

“You have already reached the Seventh Layer in Qi Cultivation? Your speed is good, but for you, the Qi Cultivation has no bottleneck and is quite fast. From Foundation Establishment on, the difficulty will increase layer by layer. By then, this speed won’t be possible. Remember not to be arrogant or impatient, calm down and practice. Within a hundred years, reaching Returning to Void is already successful.”

“Disciple understands!” Yu Hong was not surprised that his cultivation couldn’t be hidden, after all, the gap in cultivation was too large. Moreover, being from the same source and system, being seen through is normal.

In a short while, outside the side hall, Bai Sheng and Hei Ying transformed into two streams of light, landing and entering the room.

“Master, why did you summon the disciple?”

“The disciple was bathing, is there an urgent matter?”

The two asked one after the other.

“It’s your junior brother, there’s an emergency at home, encountering trouble, needing help, you guys look into resolving it.” Yu Xuezi pointed at Yu Hong.

“Encountered trouble? That’s easy to handle, Junior Brother, catch this.” Bai Sheng was delighted upon hearing this, taking out a green token engraved with the character “Victory” from his sleeve and throwing it over.

Pa.

Yu Hong caught it.

On the other side, Hei Ying also threw out a black token with the character “Ying”.

“These are our temporary summoning tokens, which can open a temporary arrival gate lasting half a minute. As long as the distance isn’t too far, we can come out in time to help you ward off trouble.” Bai Sheng explained with a smile.

“Use mine first. Your senior brother is less composed, my interventions are quieter.” Hei Ying added on the side.

“Who’s saying that, use mine first, my strength is greater, and if Senior Sister can’t resolve it, you might eventually need me to rescue.” Bai Sheng argued.

“Who are you saying is not strong!?” Hei Ying was immediately displeased.

“That’s the truth!” Bai Sheng retorted stubbornly.

“See you on the neighboring star then!” Hei Ying challenged for a fight.

“Heh, I’ll let you use one hand.” Bai Sheng sneered.

“Then don’t ask me to change positions later!” Hei Ying flared up.

“Er….” Bai Sheng’s old face reddened, “Can we not discuss this here?”

“Heh….” Hei Ying scoffed, turning and leaving.

“Hey, Junior Sister, wait.” Bai Sheng hurriedly chased after her.

Leaving Yu Xuezi and Yu Hong speechless.

“They’re about to get married, yet they don’t avoid suspicion…” Yu Xuezi sighed.

“Alright, you’ve got the things, go if you want to, be careful, and come back early.” He instructed.

“Yes!”

Yu Hong quickly lowered his head to salute.

Hurriedly leaving Wanxue Palace, he returned to the Black Black Spirit and entered the Main Control Room.

Taking a deep breath.

‘Start.’ He commanded in his heart.

Buzz.

The safe house, Savior Ship, that had been dormant for so long, finally started up once more.

In the next moment, colorful threads surged around the safe house.

Countless threads wrapped around it layer by layer. Soon, the threads faded away, disappearing along with the safe house.

Entering the familiar depths of the Wind Disaster, Yu Hong steadied his mind, carefully feeling the continuously surging Spirit Light Threads.

He accelerated, sitting in the Main Control Room, watching the safe house stream toward the source of the Spirit Light.

When going deeper into the interior, most was against the current, extremely slow, but now rushing to the outside end, it’s riding the current, making its speed at least twice as fast!

Yu Hong only felt the entire house shaking violently, and then with his own power and the colorful lines outside pushing him, the speed grew faster and faster.

The colorful lines outside the window turned into extremely slow forward movement.

This meant that the safe house’s direction and the colorful lines outside were consistent at this moment, and its speed was just slightly slower than the lines.

Soon, a violent shock, the safe house crossed the Phoenix Eye, passing by huge eerie humanoid faces.

Large meteor-like faces flashed by, some jellyfish-like translucent creatures appeared vaguely, accompanying the safe house forward.

Yu Hong sensed the safe house crossed the node where the Floating City was, his heart slightly relieved, meaning that Yiyi and the others were alright.

What remained was only the place with a large amount of Spirit Light, which was…

Hope City World.

In the dim sky, gray-white smoke transformed into columns, connecting heaven and earth.

Hiss.

Strands of colorful threads floated in midair, emerging, and split apart, revealing the irregular shape of the Black Black Spirit, the safe house.

Whoosh.

The next second, the Black Black Spirit shot out, plummeting fiercely toward the ground below.

In a split second, the thousands of meters of altitude reached the ground.

No massive impact, as it was about to land, layers of arrays emerged below the safe house, shimmering white light cushioned the massive impact, and then it landed softly.

After landing, the safe house quickly transformed into a three-story high black building, fixed atop a scorched wasteland.

Click.

The door opened.

Yu Hong, dressed in a white Daoist robe, stepped out slowly, scanning the surroundings.

The outside world was littered with chaos.

On the scorched plain, piles of burning debris emitted thick gray smoke.

Apart from the slight crackling of flames and the sound of the wind, no other sound was perceptible.

“So things did happen here….” Yu Hong took out an enhanced detector. He pressed the switch.

Beep…

The LCD showed the Red Value here: 789.126.

“Trouble.” Yu Hong surveyed the surroundings, feeling the continuous surge of Spirit Light from a direction.

He exerted force through his feet.

Boom!!

The ground shattered into a large pit, and he shot out, breaking the sound barrier, charging towards the south.

Amid the rumbling, accompanied by continuous sonic booms, the temperature on Yu Hong’s body rapidly rose. But he paid no mind, constantly observing the two sides’ situation during the mad rush.

Soon, following the direction of the Spirit Light Threads, after over an hour of sprinting, a different scene appeared beyond the ruins ahead.

A city-sized massive black meteor was half-embedded into the ground, with its other half exposed.

Around the meteor, an innumerable amount of Black Disaster monsters surged like a tide, rushing toward a certain direction.

Yu Hong knew he had arrived.

He immediately accelerated again.

Meanwhile, he took a deep breath, the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill within his body operated freely, transforming into a protective gray light that shielded his entire body, then charged head-on into the wave of Black Disaster monsters.

The next second.

He collided head-on with the black tide.

An elephant worm just sensed something amiss, turned to look at him, and before it could roar, it was struck straight in the middle, exploding instantly like a bomb.

Following closely were crowds of Black Giants, pushing toward a certain direction.

They too were rammed by Yu Hong, creating a blood-soaked path.

The Three-headed Bird, gigantic humanoid figures seemingly made of black slime, dripping with long wet hair.

Various levels of Black Disasters became nothing before Yu Hong at this moment.

In a short while, all the monsters in front were cleared away, replaced by a colossal silver-gray fortress.

The fortress continuously sprayed torrents of shells, flames, bullets, and strong acids, pushing back the thick clouds of flying monsters besieging it.

Yu Hong leaped high, skillfully evading cannonballs and bullets, landing accurately inside a damaged opening.

A Three-headed Goddess Statue roared upon discovering him, lunging to crush him. It was repelled by a single point from Yu Hong’s hand.

The power of the eighth layer of the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Skill surged at his fingertip, transforming into a gray light beam, shooting out.

Sizzle!

The beam hit the Three-headed Goddess Statue right between its brows, causing no visible harm.

But the next moment.

As the Black Disaster’s top monster was about to smash into Yu Hong, right before impact, it suddenly halted, suspended in mid-air, then turned to attack a group of Three-headed Birds nearby.

Its six eyes tinged with strands of gray white blood lines, evidently temporarily controlled by the Chaotic God Sky Eye’s chaotic influence.

‘The effect is not bad.’ This was Yu Hong’s first practical use since reaching the Eighth Layer.

Surprisingly, even a Three-headed Goddess Statue could be temporarily controlled, although he wasn’t sure what the control limit of the Eighth Layer’s power was.

With thoughts flashing by, Yu Hong charged through the opening, entering deep into the fortress.

Meanwhile.

In the fortress core, a spherical internal space.

Layers upon layers of various Golden Light Arrays completely isolated and encircled the place.

Quan He was confronting a strange humanoid entirely made of withered wood.

Her left arm had inexplicably vanished, and her body was covered with wounds. Her face was pale as she stared intently at the humanoid opposite her.

“What exactly… are you!?”

“…Still unwilling to submit to the Holy Tower?” The withered wood humanoid spoke calmly. “I have given you opportunities. Three chances, you have lost twice.”

“I don’t wish to become like you, neither human nor ghost, barely maintaining self through destruction.” Quan He replied coldly.

“Your talent is rare in the world, and your comprehension is extremely high, which is why I gave you three chances. Now, only one remains. But you must also understand that my patience is limited.” The withered wood humanoid coldly stated.
