From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Xuan Mo’s expression changed drastically as he stared at the Compass.

Of the three dots of light on the Compass, only two remained.

A dot of light disappearing meant that Li Yang’s Token had either been shattered or his life force had vanished.

The former, in essence, already meant death.

This was because the Lingyue World was filled with danger, and the Token was kept inside a Spatial Ring.

A Spatial Ring was a person’s most important possession; almost all of their treasures and trump cards were kept inside.

For the Token to be taken out of the Spatial Ring and shattered clearly indicated that its owner had already been killed.

Of course, there was a chance of survival, but it was an extremely slim one.

Therefore, regardless of the reason, a dot of light disappearing from the Compass basically represented death. Ever since Xuan Mo began overseeing this place and controlling the Compass, there had never been an exception.

’How could this be?’ Xuan Mo’s expression shifted, turning grim.

Li Yang had just passed the ninth step of the Divine Path, surpassing Lan Yu. Hailed as a peerless genius seen only once in tens of billions of years, he was at the very peak of his fame!

And now, just over ten days after he had passed the ninth step of the Divine Path, Li Yang had died during his training?

After a moment, Xuan Mo quickly sent word to Sect Master Blade Slaughter.

WHOOSH!

His figure flickered, and he shot into the Lingyue World!

...

Xuan Mo streaked through the vast Lingyue World at high speed.

’This was Li Yang’s route.’ Gripping the Compass, Xuan Mo followed the path Li Yang had taken.

The Compass acted as a navigation device, allowing him to clearly trace Li Yang’s route.

Soon, Xuan Mo came to a stop.

He was in a vast, empty plain.

’Did Li Yang run into trouble here?’

Xuan Mo stood there, his brow slightly furrowed.

The Compass’s tracking ended abruptly at this spot, yet he could detect nothing unusual in the area.

’What kind of demonic beast attacked Li Yang? One at the World Realm? Or perhaps the Divine Realm?’ Xuan Mo wondered silently.

A peerless genius like Li Yang was certain to have numerous trump cards. For him to have been unable to use any of them, the attacking beast must have been incredibly powerful—at least at the World Realm.

WHOOSH!

After a brief pause, he began searching the surrounding area again, but still found nothing.

BOOM!

Half an hour later, another figure sped toward him from the distance.

"Blade Slaughter."

Xuan Mo called out upon seeing the figure.

Upon learning that something had happened to Li Yang, Sect Master Blade Slaughter had immediately left the Blade Slaughter Sect and rushed here.

Sect Master Blade Slaughter’s expression was dark.

"Xuan Mo, what have you found?" Sect Master Blade Slaughter asked, his deep voice heavy as he looked at Xuan Mo.

He had been in the middle of a lecture at the Blade Slaughter Sect when he received Xuan Mo’s message. He had ended the lecture at once and rushed over.

"Nothing."

Xuan Mo shook his head. "There are no demonic beasts or Insect Beasts in the vicinity. I questioned the nearest ones, and none of them had seen Li Yang. I even used a Soul Search; they weren’t lying."

For a peerless genius of the Human Race, one who appears only once in tens of billions of years, they would naturally use every means possible to conduct a thorough investigation.

"It’s impossible for Li Yang to have died."

Blade Slaughter’s face was ice-cold, and terrifying waves of Evil Qi radiated from his body.

This Evil Qi was so potent that even Xuan Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

Blade Slaughter... was by no means a gentle person, a fact one could guess from his name alone. Back in the day, his fearsome reputation had struck terror into the hearts of countless members of the Alien Races!

However, after countless years, he had hit a bottleneck he couldn’t break through, and had gradually adopted a more low-key profile.

Sect Master Blade Slaughter said gravely, "Li Yang not only has a Teleportation Stone and a Celestial Blue Stone to lock his life force in place, but he also has the Void Source Pearl I gave him! With the Void Source Pearl, even a demonic beast at the Divine Realm couldn’t kill him here in Lingyue World."

"The Void Source Pearl?"

Xuan Mo was stunned. "You gave that treasure to Li Yang?"

A Teleportation Stone, for instance, could transport its user a great distance upon activation, while a Celestial Blue Stone could lock one’s life force, preventing death from a single devastating attack.

Both were extremely precious life-saving treasures.

However, both treasures had their flaws. The Teleportation Stone, for example, had to be manually activated by its owner. The Celestial Blue Stone could block one attack, but a second one would still be fatal.

If one faced an extremely powerful enemy whose attacks were swift enough to strike twice in an instant, they would still die, unable to react in time, despite possessing both a Teleportation Stone and a Celestial Blue Stone.

But the Void Source Pearl was different.

The Void Source Pearl combined the advantages of both the Teleportation Stone and the Celestial Blue Stone. In a truly fatal crisis, it would automatically and instantly transport its owner to safety while simultaneously locking their life force!

Here in the Lingyue World, even if Li Yang had encountered a demonic beast or Insect Beast at the Divine Realm, the Void Source Pearl could have whisked him away with ease.

Moreover, the Void Source Pearl could automatically trigger its defense seven times.

Even if Li Yang were unlucky enough to be transported to another dangerous location, he could still escape again.

Encountering an enemy powerful enough to insta-kill you seven times in a row? That was simply impossible.

It was an exceedingly precious treasure, one that could save the life of even a mighty expert at the Divine Realm!

Xuan Mo thought to himself that Sect Master Blade Slaughter must truly value Li Yang to have bestowed even the Void Source Pearl upon him. Many Deities didn’t even possess such a treasure.

After a moment of thought, Xuan Mo said, "Blade Slaughter, based on what you’re saying, if Li Yang had the Void Source Pearl, he shouldn’t have been killed by any demonic beast or Insect Beast. Could it have been some other kind of danger?"

"This Lingyue World has existed since ancient times, long before our Human Race modified it. Could it harbor its own inherent dangers?"

The Human Race had risen from obscurity and ultimately chosen this domain to establish the Eternal Saint Hall.

And this Relic Space, the Lingyue World, had existed since long before then.

However, its environment was harsh and unsuitable for life, so the Human Race converted it into a training ground.

Sect Master Blade Slaughter remained silent, his expression as dark as stormy water as he scanned the surroundings.

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from him, spreading out to sense the surroundings in an attempt to find any abnormality.

His disciple had met with an accident in this very area. If the Lingyue World itself was dangerous, he should have been able to sense it.

But there was nothing. He, a powerful Deity who had mastered the Five-Element Laws and stood only a single step away from the Emperor realm, couldn’t sense a single trace of the strange place that had lured Li Yang inside.

’What in the world happened?’ Sect Master Blade Slaughter’s face was grim.

With the Void Source Pearl in play, he was certain Li Yang couldn’t have died at the hands of demonic beasts or Insect Beasts. Even the most powerful ones in the entire Lingyue World shouldn’t have been able to kill him.

And yet, something had happened to Li Yang.
