Night of Despair-Chapter 508 - 506 Pursuit Four

At this moment, Yu Hong was horrified to discover that his Tai Ling Skill had surprisingly broken through another layer!

Without cultivation, just by relying on the automatic cultivation characteristic of Tao Breath Circulation, he unexpectedly reached the Eighth Layer’s Eternal Day so quickly!

Hiss...

A kind of inexplicable soft light, white with a translucent glow, started to illuminate faintly behind him.

Yu Hong stood up, turned around to see the light, but as he turned, the light seemed embedded on his back, rotating with him.

He could feel the Light Well in his body start to divide like cells, splitting into two, then four, then eight, multiplying rapidly.

Although the newly appearing Light Wells weren’t as big as the original one, in just a few seconds, the single Light Well in his Dantian had multiplied into hundreds!

The Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill that could previously suppress the Tai Ling Skill could no longer continue to suppress it, gradually being forced out.

Roar!

Under the agitation of the gray Inner Strength, a two-winged tiger with white base and black stripes appeared around him, roaring and struggling, but it was in vain.

The Eighth Layer of Tai Ling Skill was already extremely close to the ultimate Ninth Layer Bright God, about to face the Ultimate Sun.

Endless Light Energy surged within Yu Hong’s body, giving him an illusionary feeling of being able to destroy everything at this moment.

But this was not what he wanted!

"No... I must find a way to suppress the Tai Ling Skill, or I’ll be doomed before I can find the land of vitality!"

Feeling the unrestricted Light Disaster Radiation Energy in his body, Yu Hong felt not strength, but anxiety.

At this moment, he was no longer restricted, and his burst power was hundreds of times stronger than before.

One could say, he could wave his hand and instantly kill his previous self now.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong pinned his hopes on the Chaotic God Sky Eye Skill. He immediately took off his eye cover and dug out the Outer Eye from its socket.

’Strengthen the Outer Eye, direction—capable of resisting Light Disaster Ultimate Sun.’

The sudden explosive increase in Tai Ling Skill brought unexpected changes to his original plan, forcing him to set everything else aside and first resolve the threat of the Ultimate Sun.

Soon, a black line flickered on the back of his hand.

A new countdown appeared on the surface of the Outer Eye: November 8th, year 32275.

’Begin strengthening of the Outer Eye?’ The Black Mark’s inquiry came as expected.

"..." Yu Hong was stunned.

He had expected the time to be long, but not this long.

Such a long time was definitely not feasible; before the strengthening was finished, he would be gone.

So he quickly canceled it, then sat in place and pondered for a moment.

’Since direct strength enhancement to resist is unrealistic, then the only way to save myself is to borrow strength!’

Reflecting on the fact that he was currently deep in a Wind Disaster area.

Yu Hong quickly formulated a plan.

He once again extended his hand, and this time, what he wanted to strengthen was not a power or a technique, but... direction!

’Strengthen the Outer Eye, direction: Enhance my ability to guide me to a place that can resist the Ultimate Sun.’

The black line flickered again.

A new countdown and Black Mark inquiry appeared simultaneously.

Yu Hong ignored the inquiry, focusing instead on the red numbers on the surface of the Outer Eye: 3 days 11 hours 02 minutes.

Whew!

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

Indeed, just indicating a direction drastically reduced the time required by the Black Mark.

He immediately chose to begin.

As a large amount of Inner Strength was absorbed, the countdown flickered and began.

Yu Hong sat cross-legged, beginning to try to absorb Wind Disaster Power, constructing a new Wind Well in his body to balance the excessively powerful Tai Ling Skill Light Well.

Three days later, deep within the Black Disaster.

The endless torrent of black was tumbling and surging outside the window.

Yu Hong stood by the window, looking out at the black liquid, not saying a word.

Poof.

Suddenly, a ghastly white hand pressed against the edge of the window, slowly relaxing before being washed away by the black water, disappearing into the torrent.

Yu Hong touched the newly strengthened Outer Eye; it was this eye’s ability that guided the Black Black Spirit to return to the depths of the Black Disaster.

The strengthened Black Black Spirit remained unshaken regardless of any monster encountered here.

It was as if the world outside and inside the window were two separate realms, not interfering with each other.

But Yu Hong knew that the end of the direction seen in his eye was approaching soon.

The clue that took three days to strengthen couldn’t be reused; it was a one-time ability that would disappear after being used.

This gave Yu Hong more confidence in his self-rescue journey this time.

Playing with a newly strengthening Outer Eye in hand, he gazed out at the world, quietly waiting.

"Yu Hong." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

It was Agrius!

Yu Hong instantly recognized this distinctly characteristic voice.

"You’ve ventured too far, in five more minutes, at your current speed, I’ll lose all ability to sense you; you are now in the Source Desolate Zone, a depth unreachable by any Savior Ship, be careful...."

Like a parting message, Agrius’s voice quickly faded away after saying this.

Yu Hong lightly grasped the Outer Eye in his hand without speaking.

The significant enhancement of the safe house allowed him to push through the Phoenix Eye and subsequent areas in one go, reaching places no other captain had before, which surprised him a bit.

"Am I the only one? Unexplored territory, well then... wish me luck..."

Yu Hong turned away from the window and headed to the Main Control Room on the second floor.

Half an hour later.

The Black Black Spirit took a sudden dive into a surprisingly appearing transparent vortex within the black torrent, disappearing.

After a short moment of confusion.

Yu Hong awakened from his meditative state; he opened his eyes, stood up, and looked out from the Main Control Room.

Outside the circular window was a scene of wind and snow scattering over a gray-white mountain range.

The mountain range stretched endlessly, extending to the limit of visibility.

Yu Hong let out a breath, looking up at the sky.

The sky was a grey-white hue, and a massive dark red planet occupying half of the sky was slowly rolling and hovering as if ready to fall at any moment.

The planet’s surface, with its rugged mountains and valleys, was visibly clear.

Yu Hong noticed that at the bottom of this gigantic red planet, a spaceship resembling an ancient Chinese sailboat was flying towards him.

The spaceship was entirely brown, with white sails billowing in the wind, trailing dots of white light, unclear if propelled by wind or some other energy.

Standing at the window, he watched as the ship rapidly closed in, then decelerated as it neared.

With a splash, several figures leaped off the ship.

The figures, stepping on flying swords, wore white garments like snow, with long black hair neatly tied at the back, exuding the demeanor of a Sword Immortal.

As they approached, Yu Hong suddenly widened his eyes at what seemed like a surprising scene.

Thump thump thump.

Soon, the door to the Black Black Spirit was knocked.

A sword-wielding man with a silver headband led the way, knocking on the door.

"Is this the place?"

"This is it," a woman behind him nodded in response. "Why do you knock, Senior Brother?"

"Since it has been made into a door, it means the owner wishes for visitors to knock," the man smiled, revealing teeth and a mouth full of silver-gray metal parts crafted from machinery.

More precisely, his entire body, half of his head, was mechanized, one half flesh, the other machinery.

His Junior Sister, beside him, was similar, even more so, a complete silver-gray mechanical being with eyes flashing electronic red lights scanning the surroundings, and her face full of intricately fitting assembly lines.

"Bai Sheng from Qinghe Mountain, here to visit the master of this cave mansion. I request an audience," the Senior Brother declared loudly.

Yu Hong observed these people, noticing that the traces of flesh on their bodies were minimal, with most parts turned mechanical.

He didn’t know exactly where he had arrived, but since the strengthened ability of the Outer Eye suggested there might be a way to defeat the Ultimate Sun here, he was determined to find clues.

The language they spoke was a variant of Night Language, which was generally understood; with a little adaptation, he could grasp their meaning.

Yu Hong thought for a moment and responded through the door.

"I am just a wandering traveler, afflicted with a severe illness, hoping to find a chance for healing here."

"Severe illness? What illness prevents you from showing your face?" The Senior Brother chuckled, questioning.

"Are you aware of the Source Disaster?" Yu Hong countered.

At these words, the expressions of the people at the door changed abruptly.

"The Gui Hong Cave battle should have completely sealed the Source Disaster, shouldn’t it? How does the gentleman know of this secret?" The Senior Brother stated in a low voice.

"We were cultivating in the mountain when we noticed spatial fluctuations within our territory. Upon investigating, we discovered it was your cave mansion. You trespass into our sect’s territory unprovoked and mention such a secretive matter as the Source Disaster... what are your intentions?" The Junior Sister’s tone was unfriendly.

"May I ask, how much do you know about the Source Disaster?" Yu Hong did not get angry but instead released a wisp of Light Disaster Radiation Energy.

Just a trace of energy instantly caused the people outside the door to change their expressions greatly and retreat rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they retreated dozens of meters away.

"In today’s Universe, since the Ninety-Nine Star Realms were sealed and isolated by many Heavenly Venerates using the Purple Grass Secret Technique, many Star Sects consider themselves island kingdoms; it’s been over twenty thousand years," the Senior Brother said solemnly, "The term ’Source Disaster’ was used in ancient books; now it’s more generally referred to as Star Disaster."

He paused, looking gravely at Yu Hong’s door.

"You carry the power of the Star Disaster and claim to be gravely ill; are you possibly an infected person cursed by the Star Disaster?"

"I don’t know what an infected person is, but I am indeed afflicted by the Star Disaster you mentioned, unable to free myself, which is why I came here seeking treatment," Yu Hong answered earnestly.

"Treatment... you have come to the right place, but treating infected people is extraordinarily costly."

"Cost is not the issue; the crucial point is whether it can be cured," Yu Hong stated seriously.

"Being cured is certain, but we must first ascertain your origins. If your background is dubious, our sect will definitely not offer help. May I know how to address you? I am Bai Sheng. This is my Junior Sister, Hei Ying," the man introduced himself.

"I am Yu Hu," Yu Hong gave a false name. "By the way, where exactly is this? I had an issue with a spatial jump, so..."

"This is the Eastern Divine Domain’s Southern Perpetual Fall Star System, Qinghe Mountain. It’s known as one of the resourceful stars around, primarily producing Qinghe Secret Medicine, and is one of the sects under the Nine Star Sword Sect."

"....." Yu Hong was a bit perplexed, "So, may I ask, how large is this Perpetual Fall Star System?"

"Huh?" The two were also perplexed, thinking perhaps this person had a problem with his mind? He didn’t even know the Perpetual Fall Star System?

"Well, the Perpetual Fall Star System consists of sixty-seven million Constant Star Systems. Qinghe Mountain is an insignificant little region, with only seventy Constant Star Systems under its jurisdiction, a mere drop in the ocean. You this...."
