Chapter 38: Trapped in an Illusion

  The vast sea area stretched under the sky, with large swathes of moonlight shining down from the horizon towards the sea. In this vast emptiness, Xing Peng glided over the sea like an immortal, facing the wind and riding the waves.

  Xing Peng's expression was very solemn at this moment. After he flew down from the spaceship using the 'Wind Shadow Steps,' Xing Peng landed on this sea area. In this sea area, Xing Peng discovered something that surprised him slightly - this sea was a dead sea, devoid of any signs of life!

  Of course, Xing Peng's solemn expression was not because this sea area was a dead sea, but because after he fell into the sea area, he discovered that Jin Disan, who had flown down behind him, had disappeared after landing in the sea area. Not only had Jin Disan disappeared, but also the person who had jumped down from the spaceship before him was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

  "What is going on here? The spaceship was clearly stationary. Logically, coming down from the same place, even if I flew down instead of jumping, the distance in between shouldn't be very far. Why can't I see the others?"

  Xing Peng swiftly executed his movement technique, moving rapidly across the waves, pushing the 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen' technique to its limit, searching everywhere for traces of the others. However, even when he pushed the 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen' technique to its utmost, he still couldn't find any trace of the others.

  Xing Peng searched for several hours, and when the sun rose again, he still hadn't found any trace of the others, making his expression grow increasingly solemn. This situation was completely beyond his understanding. During these hours, he had covered hundreds of miles.

  "What kind of trial is this? And where is this place? There's not even a hint, what should I do next!" Xing Peng rubbed his forehead with a headache and then looked up at the sky. In the sky, the giant sun hung high, but the spaceship was nowhere to be seen.

  "Forget it, it seems impossible to find anyone. Let's first look around for any islands nearby." After failing to find anyone, Xing Peng randomly chose a direction and started flying with all his might using 'Wind Shadow Steps'. His body, moving swiftly through the air, left a series of afterimages behind.

  One day later! Xing Peng's expression became even more solemn! After flying continuously for a day, although he wasn't afraid of falling into the sea due to lack of Profound Qi since he could sit cross-legged on the sea to recover Profound Qi, he had covered thousands of miles in a whole day without spotting any islands. This situation was not optimistic for Xing Peng!

  Two days! Three days! In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. After seven days, Xing Peng's face was as grim as water. Running so rapidly for four days, Xing Peng still hadn't found any islands. The sea area seemed endless, no matter how he flew, the scenery around him remained the same.

  If it were just that, Xing Peng's expression wouldn't be so grim. His expression was so grim because he discovered that for the entire four days, there was not even a breeze in this sea area, and the sea he was stepping on didn't have a single wave.

  "How could this place be so strange! So many days have passed, and I still haven't seen anyone else." Xing Peng's lips were dry. He stopped flying blindly and sat cross-legged on the sea surface to think carefully. It had been seven days without food, and Xing Peng was now so hungry that his front was sticking to his back. This was the second time Xing Peng had experienced such hunger since coming to this world.

  "Once this is over, I must always carry dry food and wine with me. Damn it, I really don't know how this White Tiger Academy arranged this trial; it's so bizarre!" Xing Peng bit his lip, his face ferocious as he looked into the void, trying to find the spaceship's trace. He would rather face countless fierce beasts than stay here any longer. If it weren't for his experience at Heavenly Extremity Peak, he might have collapsed here. Over these seven days, Xing Peng tried many methods, but none led to an exit! The sea was the same no matter how he flew.

  They say the higher you stand, the farther you see. To find a way out, Xing Peng also tried to fly high into the sky, but because he hadn't reached the Heaven Level, he could fly with the help of the wind when falling from a high place, but he couldn't fly very high when trying to ascend.

  Xing Peng sat there for over two hours. During these two hours, he looked into the void while also thinking about things, desperately recalling the books of Lingwu Continent he remembered, hoping to find some information about this sea area. Unfortunately, Xing Peng was disappointed. Although he remembered many books, none mentioned this sea area.

  "Could it be that I, Xing Peng, will starve to death here? Last time at Heavenly Extremity Peak, although I was hungry, there was a clear way out for me to strive for. But this time, I don't even understand what this sea area is, how can I find a way out."

  Xing Peng didn't know the situation of others at this moment, but he knew that if it continued like this, even if he could absorb the Vital Energy of heaven and earth for his use, he would eventually starve to death. According to this situation, he could only last for a month at most. If he couldn't find a way out after a month, he would undoubtedly die.

  During these seven days, while searching for a way out, Xing Peng also tried to break through to the Heaven Level realm, but he wasn't successful. Although he had previous insights, Heaven Level and Earth Level were different realms. Even with experience, breaking through the bottleneck wasn't that simple. His current accumulation wasn't enough.

  "Now I only have two paths left, either find a way out within this month or break through the Sky-Breaking Level bottleneck and truly make use of the Vital Energy of heaven and earth for myself, which could allow me to last a bit longer."

  Days passed by, and every day was extremely precious to Xing Peng. Under such hunger, time quickly passed by for another half a month. By this time, Xing Peng was severely malnourished. Without any food supply, even though he was an Earth Level martial artist and could endure hunger better than ordinary people, he was also close to his limit.

  Now, he was in a very sorry state, with bloodshot eyes and two big dark circles under his eyes, looking like he hadn't eaten well or slept well. An Earth Level late-stage peak martial artist had fallen to such a state, which would definitely shock many people if it were to be spread.

  Another day, the sun was bright and warm, and the gentle sunlight poured down on Xing Peng, making him feel a trace of warmth. As more and more time passed, Xing Peng's life was nearly at its end. Now, he wasn't as anxious as he was at the beginning.

  Because being anxious was no longer of any use. This damn dead sea could really be described as boundless. These days, Xing Peng could say he traveled thousands of miles every day. Counting the days since he arrived in this sea area, he had flown no less than tens of thousands of miles.

  Having flown tens of thousands of miles and still not finding any islands, what else could Xing Peng say! He had already tried his best. Although he said he would never give up until the last moment, no matter how anxious he was now, it couldn't help him.

  "Life should be enjoyed to the fullest, don't let the golden goblet face the moon in vain! If there's wine today, then get drunk today; worry about tomorrow's sorrows tomorrow! Hahaha... Although I'm not a hero, I'm still a martial artist who stands tall between heaven and earth, yet I didn't expect to end up in such a situation!" Xing Peng suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly. His laughter was earth-shattering, with both bitterness and emotion. Memories of his past life on Earth and his life in Lingwu Continent flashed through his mind.

  "Ever since I, Xing Peng, came to this Lingwu Continent, I haven't liked it much, after all, it's not my true hometown. But since I'm here, I've accepted it. However, damn heaven, you're really good at making fun of your young master. It wasn't easy for me to become an unparalleled genius, about to regain the strength of a Heaven Level martial artist, yet I ended up like this!"

  "You're awesome, consider you awesome! I hope this time I really will fall here. If I, Xing Peng, don't die, then from now on, I will become a tyrant who defies Buddha and kills gods. If heaven dares to block me, I, Xing Peng, will surely split the heavens! Hahaha..." His heroic laughter traveled far and wide. Xing Peng clearly felt his weakness. Perhaps after today, he might fall, keenly feeling his life slipping away.

  "Shh!" Just when Xing Peng was about to die, suddenly, the bottleneck that hadn't been broken through these days suddenly loosened. As the bottleneck loosened, a mysterious and profound aura overflowed from his body, and with the outflow of this aura, he suddenly entered a profound realm.

  Unlocking the seven meridians and eight channels, bridging the bridge between heaven and earth! In this moment, the Profound Qi contained within Xing Peng's seven meridians and eight channels all transformed into Profound Qi that surged into his dantian, and with the transformation of Profound Qi, the Vital Energy of heaven and earth, like taking a blue pill, surged into Xing Peng's body, tightly enveloping his entire body, forming a visible Vital Energy cocoon made of the Vital Energy of heaven and earth. A Vital Energy cocoon composed of the Vital Energy of heaven and earth was definitely a very shocking scene, and if someone else saw this scene, they would undoubtedly exclaim in disbelief.

  "Hahaha... I've broken through, I've actually broken through! Damn it, illusion, this is actually an illusion, hurry up and... open!" Xing Peng suddenly laughed crazily, and with his laughter, a surging momentum burst forth from his body, then formed a giant heavenly sword that fiercely slashed down at the void. With this slash of the heavenly sword, the surrounding heaven and earth instantly shattered, turning into fragments that scattered in all directions.

  Almost at the moment the space shattered, the scenery around Xing Peng changed drastically, no longer the empty vast sea, but several familiar figures entered Xing Peng's sight, and with the shift in his vision, a rich scent of blood suddenly entered Xing Peng's nose. Xing Peng's expression shook, and he immediately looked forward. With one look, Xing Peng's expression turned cold, and his eyes filled with raging killing intent, as he threw out 'The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' towards the front!
