Chapter 617: Chapter 574: Formidable Enemy from the Void (Part 2)

Just as he was about to repeat his last move and finish off the Star Beast for good,

A distinct and powerful spatial fluctuation rippled through the Void.

Where purple-black Void Energy converged, a spatial vortex slowly swirled open.

A horrifying aura emanated from the other side of the vortex.

When Li Wei sensed that aura, his expression turned grim. It was the aura of an Evil God.

There was a powerhouse of the Evil God Level on the other side of the vortex.

A figure emerged from within the spatial vortex.

After the figure stepped out, the vortex slowly shrank and vanished.

Sensing the terrifying aura that had filled the Void dissipate, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

’Good, it’s not an Evil God.’

’Otherwise, I’d have to figure out how to escape.’

’If I really ran into a powerhouse of the Evil God Level, I wouldn’t be able to worry about anyone else. I’d be lucky to escape by myself.’

’The worst-case scenario would be a fight to the death with the Evil God.’

Li Wei had once severely wounded an Evil God in the Underground Sea beneath Sea Abyss City.

However, that didn’t mean he possessed the ability to truly fight an Evil God.

That "severe wound" was only what Li Wei considered to be severe.

He had only managed to briefly halt the Evil God’s advance.

In reality, he couldn’t pose any kind of life-threatening danger to the Evil God.

Even if Li Wei had wanted to fight it to the death, he might not have even gotten the chance.

He gazed at the figure that had come through the spatial vortex.

Seeing its appearance, Li Wei froze for a moment. It looked incredibly familiar.

He had seen a similar figure once before in the Extreme North Icefield.

Memories flooded his mind, and in an instant, it seemed Li Wei understood everything.

That included the powerful Evil God aura he had just sensed.

The enemy the Star Beast had summoned by opening the spatial vortex was none other than the Void Demon Race.

When Li Wei had gone to the Extreme North Icefield in search of the Time Secret Realm, he had encountered people trying to awaken the ancient Ice Emperor.

At the request of the Ice Queen, Li Wei had gone to stop the Ice Emperor from awakening.

In the end, he had failed.

Only later did Li Wei discover that the mastermind behind the plot to awaken the Ice Emperor was a Demon God from the Void.

He had also met one of the Demon God’s Followers, who called himself "Basam."

It claimed to be from the Void Empire, serving an incomparably powerful Demon God known as the Void Emperor.

That Follower of the Demon God from the Void eventually ended up in a mutual-destruction scenario with one of the Light God’s Eight-winged Bright Angels.

Actually, "mutual destruction" isn’t quite accurate.

Neither of them had actually died. Their battle had torn a rift in space, and they had fallen into the turbulent currents of spacetime, their whereabouts now unknown.

With their power, it was only a matter of time before they escaped those chaotic currents.

They were far too strong to die in there.

Though the Demon God’s Follower, Basam, had vanished, the trouble he’d caused continued to spread across the Extreme North Icefield.

Nearly all the creatures in the Extreme North Icefield were infested with Demon Seeds, transforming them into Demonized Creatures.

Only the Ice and Snow City remained a safe haven.

Even the Ice and Snow City was repeatedly hit by the demonic calamity, finding itself in an extremely difficult situation.

The source of all this was the Demon God, the Void Emperor.

Li Wei would certainly not forget him.

Encountering one of the Void Emperor’s minions in the Star Realm was certainly a surprise.

Li Wei couldn’t help but wonder, ’Has that Demon God who calls himself the Void Emperor already reached the region of the Star Realm near the Sky Dome World?’

’If so, this is bad news.’

The Void and the Star Realm are not the same kind of space.

The Star Realm is a space made up of countless "world bubbles."

Vast numbers of these world bubbles gather to form immense nebulae, star systems, and galaxies.

This is the Star Realm.

However, beyond the nebulae, star systems, and galaxies, there is even more vast, open space.

The distances between these formations are also immense.

The empty regions in between are the Void.

The Divine Realm, where the gods reside, is a region located above the Void, far from the mortal worlds.

The reason the Void Emperor had sent his people to the Sky Dome World to awaken the Ice Emperor was to open a Teleportation Gate leading there.

Crossing the endless Void and the vast Star Realm to reach the Sky Dome World would simply take too long.

It might even be impossible to make the journey within a single lifetime.

Thus, a Teleportation Gate was the only viable method.

But now, Li Wei had seen one of the Void Emperor’s minions in the Star Realm, right outside the Sky Dome World.

’Doesn’t this mean the Void Emperor’s grand army is already at the gates?’

’If so, the Void Emperor could launch an invasion of the Sky Dome World at any moment.’

’He would no longer need the Ice Emperor to open a spatial channel.’

’The Void Emperor could launch a plane war against the Sky Dome World directly from the Star Realm.’

In an instant, a thousand thoughts raced through Li Wei’s mind.

But in the end, he had to return his focus to the present situation.

He looked at the Star Beast and the member of the Void Demon Race.

’So, I’ve basically figured out what’s going on, then?’

’This Star Beast is likely a spatial anchor, placed near the Sky Dome World by the Void Demon Race.’

’It just so happened to be blocking the path of the Elemental Tower as it was collecting Sunshine.’

’And that’s what triggered this whole incident.’

It was this very coincidence that allowed Li Wei to realize the Sky Dome World might soon face a plane war launched by the Void Emperor.

The Void Emperor hadn’t attacked yet, perhaps because his main army had yet to arrive.

Or maybe he was wary of the fact that the Sky Dome World was still under the rule of the gods.

He didn’t dare to rashly initiate a plane war.

Now, the spatial anchor the Void Emperor had left outside the Sky Dome World was under attack.

Naturally, the Void Demon Race was getting anxious.

They had directly dispatched a powerful Demon God’s Follower.

The moment the Demon God’s Follower appeared, it locked onto Li Wei and Bu’er in the distance.

The surrounding area was empty; they were the only two Human Mages present.

It took almost no thought to deduce that these two were responsible for everything that had just happened.

The Demon God’s Follower immediately attacked them.

"Void Grasp!"

The Demon God’s Follower raised a hand, aimed it at the space the two occupied, and clenched its fist fiercely.

The space around Li Wei and Bu’er was instantly compressed by an immense Power.

From a distance, their bodies appeared to warp under the pressure.

Bu’er’s face was a mask of panic as he desperately tried to escape the range of the Void Grasp.

If he stayed any longer, the spatial pressure would crush him into a paste.

The Demon God’s Follower watched with indifference, though it found the situation somewhat strange.

’How did two such weak humans manage to injure a Void Giant Beast?’

Li Wei cast his Space Ripping Skill.

A finger-width fissure tore open in the distorted space before him.

The enemy’s Power was too great; the Space Ripping Skill was ineffective.

After all, his enemy was a Tier Eight Demigod Level powerhouse who also possessed immense power bestowed upon it by its Demon God.

Its strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Eight Demigod.

The Jade Prince would likely get utterly crushed if he were to face this creature.

He’d need to rely on a full set of Demigod Artifacts just to be worthy of clashing with a Demon God’s Follower.

Relying on his own strength alone, he would probably be killed in a single blow.

The gap in their power was just that terrifying.

However, a Demon God’s Follower that had reached the Demigod Level Peak only by relying on the Power of the Demon God was still worlds apart from powerhouses on the level of the Saint Dragon King or Demon Dragon King.

The Saint Dragon King could even battle a true Divine Spirit.

He could, of course, effortlessly crush a Demon God’s Follower who had only obtained a sliver of the Power of the Demon God.

In terms of his own strength alone, Li Wei was completely outmatched by the Demon God’s Follower.

However, the Power he could leverage was far beyond the Follower’s imagination.

Even the Saint Dragon King had been astonished by the Power Li Wei could display.

But no matter how high his Attack Power was, it was useless in the current situation.

Li Wei had to find a way to escape the Void Grasp’s range if he wanted any chance to counterattack.

Otherwise, he would be crushed to death in the Demon God’s Follower’s grip.

Bu’er tried various escape techniques, but none could break him free of the Void Grasp’s range.

Even his precious Space Transmission Magic Items were rendered useless.

The Void Grasp not only compressed space but also sealed it, locking down the entire area.

This made it impossible for any enemy caught within to escape.

Bu’er’s face turned red with anxiety.

Or perhaps it was the high pressure from the spatial compression, forcing all the blood to his face.

He yelled frantically, "If you have a plan, use it now! I’m about to be crushed to a pulp!"

Relying on his physique, which was comparable to that of a Legendary Giant Dragon, Li Wei was in a slightly better state than Bu’er for the time being.

Although he also felt the immense spatial pressure, he could at least still move freely.

He took out a Magic Stone and stuffed it into the finger-width spatial fissure he had just torn open.

He had to force it in, and the fissure sliced the Magic Stone into three pieces in the process.

Confused, Bu’er looked at Li Wei and yelled, "What are you doing?"

A moment later, a multicolored light radiated from within the spatial fissure in front of Li Wei.

A smile spread across Li Wei’s face.

"Get ready. We’re about to fly!"
