As Zhang Chen climbed to his feet, all the yellow sand slipped effortlessly from the seams of his clothes, falling to the ground.
At this moment, the setting sun’s rays spilled across the sky, and stars the size of basketballs twinkled above.
Zhang Chen stared at those basketball-sized stars, utterly stunned.
Are these really stars?
People might believe they’re moons.
Question: What does it feel like to have the sky filled with moons?
The night was bright, moonlight showered down like running water, bringing a wave of comfort to Zhang Chen’s soul, as if he was floating like an immortal.
Zhang Chen walked on the yellow sand, under the illumination of countless ’moons’, the night felt as if a hundred-watt light bulb was shining.
At this moment, Zhang Chen was very hungry, his stomach growling incessantly.
"This shouldn’t be happening, I often enter the spiritual world, I’ve never heard of feeling hungry! Moreover, I seem to have been in the spiritual world for seven or eight hours this time?" Zhang Chen felt uneasy; the spiritual world he entered this time seemed somewhat unusual.
"But how could there be food in the spiritual world? There’s not even a small animal for a snack." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, but before he took a few steps, he stopped in his tracks because he saw a creature.
The creature was very small, only the size of a fingernail, a sand worm, swiftly moving through the yellow sand, then disappearing from Zhang Chen’s sight.
"Impossible! How can there be creatures in the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen’s eyes showed disbelief, his gaze filled with horror.
Is this still the spiritual world?
Not only did he become a real living being, but creatures appeared in the desert as well.
"Could it be that the Great Freedom Celestial Demon has secretly plotted against me while I was fighting Zhong Xiang, burning the bottle with scorching power, allowing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon to escape, then plotted against me without me knowing? After all, during my fight with Zhong Xiang, I couldn’t waste a second, and kept my entire mental focus on Zhong Xiang, if the Great Freedom Celestial Demon plotted while my mind was tense, it seems plausible."
It’s not only likely, it’s highly likely.
With that in mind, Zhang Chen felt flustered inside, a stream of Golden Light flickering in his eyes, quickly opening his Dharma Eye; the Light of the True God can break through all illusions, but once activated, it showed nothing amiss. So, he hurriedly used his Soul Hook skill to locate it, he needed to see where the true body of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon was, inside his own body as he entered the spiritual world or left outside.
The Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill follows the Law of Cause and Effect, even across billions of worlds, the river of time, the primordial chaos, nothing can hinder the mutual sensing between entities.
As Zhang Chen activated his Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill, he clearly noticed a stutter in his skill, an indescribable sense of obscurity seeped in.
A breath...
Five breaths...
Ten breaths...
...
As the skill flickered upon activation, it seemed to encounter a stutter, with no further response.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Chen felt scared to death: "Damn it, how could this happen? This is impossible! Never heard of my Soul Hook skill stuttering! Does this mean the Great Freedom Celestial Demon has already invaded my Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and that’s why the spiritual world I entered changed addresses? Making my Soul Hook skill unable to discern? Because the Great Freedom Celestial Demon is within me, if such an indecipherable situation occurs, it would be normal."
At this moment, Zhang Chen was bewildered, looking at his spiritual form, the fully condensed fleshly body, for a moment feeling horrified.
