"Subspace Storm!"The voice from the communicator was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the calm inside the cabin.Captain Jin's expression changed drastically, and he turned to rush towards the command center.A Jun sat stiffly on the bed, his face even paler than before, and Doctor Wang also clutched his medicine box tightly, his eyes filled with panic—every space traveler knew the terror of a Subspace Storm.Inside the command center, alarms were blaring shrilly, and red warning lights flashed wildly, illuminating everyone's faces in flickering light.The crew gathered in front of the control panel, their fingers flying across the screens, yet unable to hide the tension on their faces: "Captain! The storm is only three thousand kilometers away! At our current speed, it will catch up to us in ten minutes!""Energy flow is chaotic, the Star-Matrix Navigator is fluctuating, and our position is starting to drift!""What are you panicking about! Everyone, hold steady!" Captain Jin strode to the main control panel, grabbed the communicator, his voice as steady as a rock, "Defense department, immediately activate the highest level energy shield, prioritizing all energy to the shield system! Navigation department, abandon the original course, immediately calculate an emergency route. Even if it deviates from the safe zone, we must avoid the direct path of the storm!""But Captain, if we deviate from the safe route, we might get lost in subspace and never find the exit back to the real universe!" The navigator said anxiously."Getting lost is better than being torn apart by the storm!" Captain Jin's eyes were sharp, "There are still sporadic energy anchor points in subspace. As long as we can detect the Star-Matrix signal, there's a chance to re-localize and break out of subspace! Now, execute the order!"As a series of commands were issued, the star moon vessel trembled violently, its engines roaring piercingly. Its previously stable course suddenly shifted, speeding away in the direction opposite the storm.Outside the porthole, the dark purple energy clouds were stirred into even greater chaos, and the eerie green electrical arcs became increasingly dense. The air seemed to be filled with a sense of danger.In the lounge, Qin Tian, Dongfang Mingyue, and The Xiahou Brothers also learned of the approaching storm through the warship's broadcast.The impatience on Xiahou Wen's face had long vanished, replaced by extreme tension and solemnity; Xiahou Wu gripped the long saber at his waist, his Spiritual Energy silently circulating, but he also knew in his heart that before a Subspace Storm, the power of a Seventh Order Spiritual Energy Practitioner was like an ant.Dongfang Mingyue clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her fingertips slightly white, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the porthole—the chaotic scene outside grew increasingly violent, the once slowly flowing energy clouds now churned like boiling water.Qin Tian watched the window with a grave expression. He could feel the surrounding space becoming chaotic and sluggish—the power of space, which he could usually manipulate with ease, now felt like it was trapped in a quagmire, making it impossible even to open the Yinyang Space.The power of the Subspace Storm far exceeded his imagination.Time passed minute by minute, and the storm drew closer.Although the star moon vessel had changed course, the storm's speed was faster than expected, and the invisible spatial aftershocks hit the warship first.The entire star moon vessel shook violently like a small boat in a tsunami, teacups and mahjong tiles scattered across the floor, making crisp clattering sounds.Even tiny cracks appeared on the portholes."Everyone, grab onto something! Energy department, increase shield output!"Captain Jin's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of undetectable hoarseness, "We haven't lost yet! Hang in there a little longer, we'll be out of the storm's range soon!"However, before he could finish speaking, crisis after crisis followed."Warning! A crack has appeared in the left wing's energy shield! Energy leakage speed is increasing!""Warning! Lower engine room damaged, engine power reduced by thirty percent!""Warning! Tail fin hit by spatial turbulence, lost balance control!"A series of alarms, like death knells, plunged everyone's hearts to the bottom.Qin Tian walked to the porthole, watching as the warship's outer shell was torn off piece by piece in the spatial turbulence, metal fragments swirling like falling leaves into the chaotic energy clouds. His face was extremely grim.He tried to mobilize the power of the Divine Weapon Emperor to reinforce the cabin, but found that as soon as his Spiritual Energy was released, it was torn apart by the violent spatial forces.In the crew's quarters, A Jun clutched the peace charm around his neck—it was something his girlfriend had gotten from a temple before he set off, with the words "Peace" carved into its golden surface. No matter what trouble he encountered during this time, he would touch it, as if to gain strength.But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his palm. Looking down, the once golden peace charm was turning black at a visible speed, with wisps of black energy emanating from its surface, as if being corroded by some evil force."No—no way—" A Jun's face instantly turned ashen, his body shaking uncontrollably. He finally understood that his "bad luck" during this time was no coincidence.Just then, a deafening roar came.The star moon vessel's main engine was directly hit by the spatial storm. The immense impact instantly sent the entire warship out of control, spinning like a kite with a broken string.In front of the control panel, screens shattered, sparks flying. In the lounge, The Xiahou Brothers desperately shielded Dongfang Mingyue, preventing her from being flung away by the violent shaking.In the command center, Captain Jin looked at the completely black main control panel, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes."Boom—"Another violent spatial turbulence struck. The star moon vessel could no longer withstand the devastation and broke apart in the middle, its cabin fragments scattering and instantly swallowed by the Subspace Storm.In the chaotic energy clouds, no trace of the starship could be seen, only endless darkness and violent energy churning wildly in subspace.The moment the star moon vessel shattered, Qin Tian and The Xiahou Brothers reacted simultaneously—the two stood on either side in front of Dongfang Mingyue, while Xiahou Wen quickly retreated. The three formed a triangular formation, and brilliant Spiritual Energy light erupted from their bodies at the same time. Their Spiritual Energy intertwined in the air, finally condensing into a spherical Spiritual Energy shield as thick as a city wall, firmly protecting Dongfang Mingyue in the center.The next second, the violent spatial turbulence surged like a giant wave, instantly sweeping the four into the storm, spinning them around like pebbles in a gale.The Spiritual Energy shield was repeatedly impacted by the turbulence, its surface rippling violently, emitting "sizzling" sounds of energy collision.Cold sweat seeped from Qin Tian's forehead as he desperately maintained his Spiritual Energy output—he could clearly feel that each impact was consuming a massive amount of Spiritual Energy. If it weren't for the fusion of their three Spiritual Energies, the shield would have shattered long ago."Qin Tian, can you use your spatial abilities to teleport? We can't keep this up!" Dongfang Mingyue pressed tightly against the inside of the shield, looking at the chaotic energy clouds outside, her heart filled with anxiety.Qin Tian shook his head with difficulty: "No! The surrounding space is completely chaotic, even the most basic spatial nodes have been torn apart. I can't lock onto coordinates at all; forced teleportation would only cause us to be swallowed by space!"No sooner had he spoken than an even more violent energy impact struck. The Spiritual Energy shield vibrated fiercely, and several tiny cracks even appeared on its surface.Xiahou Wu roared, suddenly increasing his Spiritual Energy output. Golden light surged, barely managing to repair the cracks.Time passed in desperate struggle, the storm seemingly endless, and the four were drawn closer and closer to the storm's center.The spatial turbulence there was even more violent, and the rate of Spiritual Energy consumption suddenly accelerated.Gradually, Xiahou Wen's breathing became hurried, and the light of his Spiritual Energy noticeably dimmed—though he was a Seventh Order Spiritual Energy Practitioner, his Spiritual Energy reserves were not as deep as Xiahou Wu's, nor was his talent equal to Qin Tian's. Under high-intensity consumption, he was the first to falter."Brother! Hold on!" Xiahou Wu noticed his elder brother's condition, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes. He unhesitatingly diverted a portion of his Spiritual Energy, injecting it into Xiahou Wen's body, "Don't give up!"Qin Tian immediately followed suit, helping him stabilize his output.Although Dongfang Mingyue's Spiritual Energy level wasn't high, she also tried her best to mobilize the Green Wood Power within her body, merging it into the Spiritual Energy flow.With the support of the three, Xiahou Wen's condition temporarily stabilized, and the light of his Spiritual Energy brightened a bit again.But this was merely a temporary solution—the energy impacts at the storm's center grew stronger and stronger, and the three's Spiritual Energy consumption rate far exceeded their replenishment rate.Before long, Xiahou Wen's Spiritual Energy was once again on the verge of depletion. His body began to tremble slightly, and the arm maintaining the shield also shook continuously."Don't—don't transfer any more—" Xiahou Wen spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse. He looked at the three beside him, a tragic smile on his face, "I can't hold on—if this continues, we'll all die here—""Brother! What nonsense are you talking about! We can definitely get out of here!" Xiahou Wu's eyes were red, and he tried to continue transferring energy, but Xiahou Wen pushed him away forcefully.Xiahou Wen slowly released the hand maintaining the shield, and his Spiritual Energy instantly dimmed. He turned his head, took a deep look at Xiahou Wu, then scanned Qin Tian and Dongfang Mingyue, his lips moving, finally forming only three words: "Live on."Before his words faded, he suddenly leaped, charging towards the depths of the storm.The ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) violent spatial turbulence instantly swallowed him. His body in the turbulence was like shattering glass, instantly disintegrating into countless points of light, dissipating into the chaos."Brother—!!!"Xiahou Wu let out a heart-wrenching roar, tears instantly streaming from his eyes. His twin brother, who had grown up with him and fought alongside him for decades, had disappeared forever before his eyes. The immense grief caused his Spiritual Energy to fluctuate violently, and the Spiritual Energy shield also trembled, its light suddenly dimming.Without Xiahou Wen's support, the triangular formation completely collapsed, leaving only Qin Tian and Xiahou Wu barely maintaining the broken Spiritual Energy shield.The storm impacted more fiercely, and the cracks on the shield's surface spread like a spiderweb. Each tremor caused further loss of both their Spiritual Energies."Hold on!" Qin Tian gritted his teeth and roared. He could feel Xiahou Wu's grief and weakness, and could only summon all his strength to mobilize his Spiritual Energy, trying to reinforce the shield.But it was futile.Another violent energy turbulence struck, and the Spiritual Energy shield let out a crisp sound, collapsing with a crash like a broken mirror.Stripped of the shield's protection, the three were instantly exposed to the terrifying spatial turbulence. The next second, they were swept into it.The moment the Spiritual Energy shield collapsed, the violent spatial turbulence swept over them like sharp knives.Qin Tian, almost instinctively, tightly embraced Dongfang Mingyue, turning his back to block the incoming energy impact.In the chaos, he glanced around with his peripheral vision, but could no longer see Xiahou Wu—perhaps he had been swept away by another current of turbulence, or perhaps he had already met with misfortune."Mingyue, hold on!"Qin Tian roared, his Spiritual Energy suddenly erupting within him, his body glowing with a dark golden light—the Undying Holy Body state was instantly activated, all attributes surged by 500%, his muscles bulged, and his bones made "crackling" sounds.Immediately after, the demon pattern tortoise shell on his chest appeared, its dark black patterns spreading across his entire body, increasing his defense by another 70%.To maximize his defense, he had a thought, and the long-unused talent, Dark Shapeshifting, was instantly triggered.Black shadow energy enveloped his body, and his size rapidly expanded at a visible rate, transforming into a five-meter-tall shadow bear in just one second—underneath its thick fur lay rock-hard keratin, and its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, increasing physical defense by another 60% and maximum HP by 40%.Qin Tian used his massive bear body to firmly shield Dongfang Mingyue in front of his chest, his broad chest acting as a solid barrier, completely isolating her from the terrifying storm outside.“Rip—!”The spatial turbulence was like countless invisible blades, instantly tearing through the shadow bear's fur and keratin, with bone-deep wounds spreading across his body, and blood gushing out like a fountain, instantly staining the fur on his chest red.The chaotic energy of the subspace drilled into his body through the wounds, raging through his meridians like scorching lava, his internal organs felt like they were churned into a mess, and the intense pain made Qin Tian let out a muffled roar, yet his bear eyes maintained a hint of clarity—he couldn't fall, for if he did, both of them would perish in the storm, leaving no trace.“Qin Tian!” Dongfang Mingyue was protected within the warm bear body, and seeing the bloody scene before her, tears instantly streamed down her face.She trembled as she reached out her hand, a rich Green Wood Power emanating from her palm, continuously pouring pure life energy into Qin Tian's body, attempting to heal his injuries.However, as soon as the Green Wood Power touched the wounds, it was devoured by the subspace energy, only barely slowing down the deterioration of his injuries.Just then, the green vine bracelet on Qin Tian's wrist suddenly glowed, and Zyra, who had been dormant for a long time, awakened, releasing a more immense natural energy that merged with the Green Wood Power, like a stream flowing into a river, and together they poured into Qin Tian's body.With the support of the two streams of energy, Qin Tian's aura stabilized slightly, but the storm's devastation continued.The flesh on his body was constantly ground away by the turbulence, soon revealing his pale bones; his internal organs were corroded at a visible rate as if splashed with sulfuric acid, his aura rapidly declined, nearing its limit.Just as Qin Tian's consciousness was about to blur, the dormant Undying Holy Body within him suddenly erupted—this was the passive effect of 【Undying · Transcendence】: when HP falls below 20%, “Undying Revival” is automatically triggered.Dazzling golden light burst forth from his body, damaged flesh regenerated at an astonishing speed, bones were re-covered with muscle, corroded internal organs were fully restored, and HP and spiritual energy instantly recovered to 70%!However, the power of the subspace storm far exceeded imagination; the newly recovered flesh was torn apart again by the turbulence in the next second, bones were exposed, and HP rapidly plummeted.But “Undying Revival” was like an inextinguishable spark, pulling him back from the brink of death again and again—flesh was ground away, recovered, then ground away again, and recovered again.In this cycle of life and death, another ability of the Undying Holy Body, 【Myriad Tribulations Undying】, quietly took effect: each time he sustained damage exceeding 50% of his own HP, his physical body would automatically absorb the primordial energy from the damage, permanently increasing his defense and attack power by 1%, with no upper limit!Qin Tian's defense continuously climbed through repeated severe injuries and recoveries, from barely resisting at first to later being able to withstand the turbulence's impact for longer.However, he knew in his heart that the “Undying Revival” of 【Undying · Transcendence】 could only be triggered ten times in a short period; once the uses were exhausted, he would have no chance to turn the tide.Soon, the light of the tenth “Undying Revival” dissipated, Qin Tian's HP rapidly plummeted again, cracks appeared on the bones of his body, his internal organs were completely rotten, and his aura was as faint as a candle in the wind.He was not afraid of death—with the Undying Holy Body, he could still be reborn after death.But he didn't want to see Dongfang Mingyue die; protecting Dongfang Mingyue was his mission, and more importantly, during their time together, some things had happened between them that made him already consider her a trusted friend, and he even developed an emotion he himself hadn't noticed.“Cough——” Qin Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his bear body trembled slightly, but he still firmly protected Dongfang Mingyue in his arms.Blood flowed down his body, staining Dongfang Mingyue's clothes and her cheeks.Dongfang Mingyue felt the bear body in her arms gradually growing cold, and the increasingly violent energy around her; perhaps anticipating the end, her heart suddenly became calm.She reached out and gently embraced Qin Tian's body, resting her face against his broad chest, closing her eyes, and her voice was soft yet clear: “Qin Tian, thank you.”There was no fear, no complaint, only a simple thank you, like a farewell, and also like a testament to the warmth in this desperate situation.Qin Tian could clearly feel his body collapsing—bone cracks continuously spread, the remaining flesh flickered like a candle in the storm, and even his consciousness began to blur.He looked down at Dongfang Mingyue, who had her eyes closed in his arms, his heart filled with powerlessness.In the face of this world-ending subspace storm, his Invincible Body, demon pattern tortoise shell, and even the ten revivals of his Undying Holy Body, all seemed so insignificant.“I'm sorry——” He spoke with difficulty, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible.He had tried his best, but still couldn't protect her.The darkness before his eyes grew thicker, and Dongfang Mingyue's last soft words became a blurred echo.Just as his consciousness was about to completely sink, and his fingers were about to loosen, a warm sensation suddenly came from his chest.It was the monolith necklace worn around his neck.Since the battle in the Demon Suppression Abyss, this stone, which sealed the spatial passage, had been silent.But at this moment, it suddenly emitted a soft light, which spread like flowing water, forming a translucent film over Qin Tian's damaged body.The film looked fragile, but it carried a peculiar power—when the violent spatial turbulence struck again, ripples appeared on the surface of the film, like water buffering the impact; the turbulence that could instantly tear flesh now could only cut open gashes on the film, greatly reducing the damage to Qin Tian's main body!This subtle buffer became a lifeline in despair; the Undying Holy Body, which previously couldn't keep up with the repair speed due to excessive damage, could now finally function—a faint golden light emanated from Qin Tian's body, damaged flesh regenerated at a visible rate, bone cracks gradually healed, and corroded internal organs began to reconstruct.More crucially, his Heart of the Earth talent also took effect—recovering 5% of lost HP every 10 seconds.This seemingly small amount of recovery, under the protection of the monolith film, combined with the Undying Holy Body's recovery power and the Green Wood Power infused by Dongfang Mingyue, formed a perfect synergy, gradually stabilizing his continuously declining vital signs.Qin Tian's body was still being ravaged by the storm, but the film buffered the damage, the Undying Holy Body rapidly repaired, the Heart of the Earth continuously restored HP, and the Green Wood Power healed; these four together created a fragile but stable balance.And the effect of 【Myriad Tribulations Undying】 continued; in the process of injury and recovery, both defense and attack power were quietly increasing, only this time, it was not growth bought by near-death experiences, but a steady strengthening in the midst of vitality.However, the continuous high-intensity consumption and the previous near-death state had long exhausted Qin Tian's mental energy.Although his body gradually stabilized under the effect of the monolith and his talents, his consciousness still couldn't hold on, completely sinking into darkness as if submerged by a tide.But in the second before losing consciousness, he subconsciously tightened his arms, holding Dongfang Mingyue even closer; even in slumber, this damaged but recovering bear body still acted as an indestructible barrier, firmly protecting the person in his arms.Dongfang Mingyue felt the mountain-like bear body no longer trembling violently, the hot blood that had been continuously dripping gradually slowed, and she could even vaguely perceive the life force emanating from Qin Tian's body—she suddenly opened her eyes, and what met them was the soft white light covering Qin Tian's body, and the flesh slowly regenerating beneath the white light.“Qin Tian! You held on!”Ecstasy surged in her heart, and without hesitation, she mobilized her innate power and poured it into Qin Tian's body; even if she would fall into a long period of spiritual energy depletion afterward, she didn't care.Pale green spiritual light erupted from her palm, flowing into Qin Tian's body like a trickling stream; she could clearly feel that Qin Tian's life aura became more stable under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and the healing speed of the wounds on his body also quickened a bit.But as the spiritual energy continuously outputted, her vision began to darken, her limbs became heavy, and even breathing became difficult.The erosion of the soul by the subspace storm also intensified—previously, with Qin Tian's spiritual energy shield and bear body blocking, she could barely resist, but now with her spiritual energy exhausted, the cold chaotic energy, like invisible tentacles, quietly drilled into her sea of consciousness, making her head ache terribly, and her consciousness flickered like a candle in the wind.“Qin Tian——you must——hold on——” She murmured softly, her voice so faint that only she could hear it.The last trace of spiritual energy was injected into Qin Tian's body, and her body softly leaned against Qin Tian's bear body, the scene before her completely plunged into darkness, her consciousness sinking into a deep sea, gradually losing sensation.In the last moment before losing consciousness, she subconsciously tightened her arms, pressing her face even closer to Qin Tian's warm fur—though there were still bloodstains there, it carried a reassuring warmth, as if it could resist all the cold and danger of this subspace.Qin Tian's Dark Shapeshifting bear body still held her tightly; even unconscious, the strength in his arms did not diminish in the slightest. The monolith's white light continued to flicker, forming a thin protective shield around the two; the Undying Holy Body's recovery power was still operating, slowly repairing flesh and bones; the Heart of the Earth's HP recovery effect triggered punctually every ten seconds, gradually filling the losses caused by the injuries.One person and one bear, thus embracing each other, fell unconscious, drifting slowly with the energy flow in the violent subspace storm, like a resilient leaf.No one knew where they would drift, nor if this glimmer of hope in despair could lead them to a final safe place, but at this moment, the warmth of their mutual protection became the only light in this chaotic darkness.
