Ming Zhitian sighed, "It's already very good."
Lin Shiyi asked, "What is this?"
Ming Zhitian replied, "He is my master, the Martial Saint, Ran Yizhou."
Lin Shiyi had heard of him, "Martial Saint..."
"Time has passed, more than twenty years have gone by. The Heavenly Sphere has changed greatly, and there's nothing here for me to be nostalgic about."
He took the half-corrupted soul into the void and continued to expand his vision, searching for the Empress of Stars.
...
Three days later, Yuan Yi Tian couldn't find Ming Zhitian on the Heavenly Sphere. He returned to the Xiu Gu Realm, still couldn't find him, and waited for Ming Zhitian by spanning across two realms.
Meanwhile, Ming Zhitian had crossed over a dozen异世界 (otherworlds) searching for any trace of the Empress of Stars, but he had no clues.
Not here... Not here either, and still not there...
Just as Ming Zhitian was at his wits' end, his twin immortal eyes flashed. Within the gate of time and space, he sensed that the Empress of Stars was near.
Without a second thought, he grabbed his Blazing Light and slashed down with his sword!
The searing heat melted space, cleaving open a void door!
Ming Zhitian and Lin Shiyi instantly entered, arriving in a fiery rock異世界.
The vicinity was filled with lava and scorching hot rocks. This was truly not a place for humans. Ming Zhitian wondered why the Empress of Stars would appear here, but the guidance from his immortal eyes indicated it was indeed the place.
As they walked forward, they suddenly spotted three figures: one with a large head and big ears, one gaunt, and one with a ferocious face. They clearly looked like utterly wicked scoundrels.
Their strength was not low either. All three were at the first level of the Great Completion Void Illusion Realm. Ming Zhitian intended to mind his own business and pass by.
But someone always likes to court death. The one with the big head and big ears whistled, "Yo, beautiful."
Looking at the drool trickling down his chin, Lin Shiyi, despite her nickname "Little Demoness," couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Ming Zhitian ignored them and walked straight past, but the gaunt one blocked his path, saying, "Kid, this is none of your business. Get out of the way, don't be a hero."
Ming Zhitian looked up, "We're together."
"Oh?" The one with the big head and big ears became interested, clearly thinking Ming Zhitian hadn't understood the hidden meaning.
The one with the ferocious face was eager to fight, rubbing his fists, "Boss, it seems like second brother hasn't moved his muscles in a long time, and they've almost forgotten the pain."
The other two burst into laughter. The one with the big head and big ears said, "Since you know each other, why aren't you being sensible and willingly sending your wife over?"
Ming Zhitian felt a surge of anger, "Are you talking to me?"
Divine Emperor Realm? The three of them burst into laughter. Who did he think he was, daring to act tough in front of them.
The gaunt one slowly walked towards Lin Shiyi. Ming Zhitian said, "Do you even deserve to touch her?"
"What?"
"Shun..."
"Huala!"
"Ugh!"
Ming Zhitian's hand was suddenly holding a Divine Flame Long Sword. He slit the gaunt one's throat with a single strike! It was swift and decisive, with no wasted movement.
The void door opened, and Ming Zhitian sent Lin Shiyi inside for protection.
"Third brother!" The one with the ferocious face was surprised. He dropped the rock he was playing with, "I underestimated him." He drew his sword and attacked!
Ming Zhitian raised his sword, "Ice Sea Clear River!"
Divine flame coated with frost, an icy and fiery dual heavens! Another throat was slit, and this strike was even more potent. Frost lingered on the sword mark, but the next second it was burned away by intense heat, and he fell. It all happened in less than three seconds.
"Kill in three seconds?" The one with the big head and big ears completely lost his composure. He dropped what he was eating carelessly and glared at Ming Zhitian.
Ming Zhitian blinked, "If others don't offend me, I don't offend them. If heaven offends me, gods and men will destroy it."
Little Demoness Lin Shiyi instantly transformed into a fangirl, "So handsome..."
"It seems you haven't recognized the situation yet. No matter what, you are... no, you are merely a Divine Emperor Realm." The one with the big head and big ears drew a Heavenly Tribulation-grade magical artifact and flew forward.
