Chapter 893: h.e.l.lo, Earth! Good-bye, Earth?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The endless void was pitch-dark and lifeless! It was just like an ancient prison, which was hopeless as well. Only chilliness was left. People who were trapped in this place would never get out and had to wander like ghosts in it forever!
Xu Que held Jiang Hongyan’s hand tightly. He grabbed b.u.t.tface’s collar with the other hand. A dazzling ray, which was placed outside their bodies, was protecting them on the way. They were moving rapidly. They couldn’t see any reference objects in this pitch-dark void, so they didn’t know how fast they were traveling.
However, the tearing strength caused by the friction between their bodies and the air around them suggested their speed was horrible. Without the protection of the s.p.a.ce Breaking Spell, maybe the powerhouses at the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage or even Celestials would be destroyed instantly at this speed!
Howl! “Little brat, how much longer will we move in this way?” b.u.t.tface shouted under the great pressure.
“One day!” Xu Que replied loudly.
He had checked it through the System. The System told him they would need one day to arrive at Earth. Xu Que was surprised by the answer. After a detailed inquiry, he realized they wouldn’t always move forward in this way.
Now they were just at the approach-run stage before the take-off. They would soon tear the second layer of the void and be teleported to the void where Earth was.
Whoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, a black figure flashed in front of them.
Xu Que, who was startled, looked at b.u.t.tface nervously.
“What was that?” b.u.t.tface asked in surprise. “Holy c.r.a.p! What was the thing that flashed away just now?”
Jiang Hongyan said seriously in a low voice, “It seemed to be the corpse of an ancient beast!”
“No, what I saw was the corpse of a giant. Could it be a Giant Celestial? I’ve heard human beings were gigantic in the ancient times. They were so tall that they could even pierce the sky!”
“Holy c.r.a.p! Do you mean their heads could touch the sky when they stood on the ground? What you described should be Lord Pan Gu!” Xu Que was embarra.s.sed by b.u.t.tface’s words.
“Lord Pan Gu? Never heard that. Anyway, it is recorded that the primordial human being was quite tough, who had gone beyond the Celestial Realm. Therefore, they were addressed as Deities!” b.u.t.tface said as he shook his head seriously.
“Deities?” Xu Que was shocked and also shook his head. He didn’t want to investigate those antique things carefully. The pressing matter of the moment was to go back to Earth safely.
Just now, an antique corpse had drifted away in the void. They didn’t see the appearance of that corpse clearly. This worried Xu Que a bit. In case they encountered a living creature like that in this area, they would be killed instantly!
It was just like he would always worry he would be devoured by a shark or a whale when he was drifting in the vast sea.
Boom!
Suddenly, a big bang rang out.
Xu Que got an odd feeling that they were moving faster and faster, which even generated inertia in the void. The physical laws had been violated. His body moved back abruptly. Then, they were shot out like cannonb.a.l.l.s.
“Holy c.r.a.p! Little brat, what are you doing?” b.u.t.tface screamed in surprise.
“Cut the c.r.a.p! Brace yourself for the upcoming s.h.i.+ft!” Xu Que shouted.
Then, everything went black as if they had been devoured by a gigantic beast. A horrible tearing strength was ripping at their bodies. Xu Que got a vague uneasy feeling, so he held Jiang Hongyan in his arms and created a powerful s.h.i.+eld on his body with his True Core Strength and Taoist Connotation.
Rumble!
Suddenly, an earthshaking sound hit Xu Que’s chest like a big hammer. He felt his heart was almost smashed by it. Meanwhile, his eardrums cracked and kept ringing. Xu Que was so dizzy and sick that he could barely stand.
He looked up and found Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface, who were not influenced by that big bang, were talking to him in surprise. However, Xu Que could hear nothing. His ears were filled with the sharp buzzing.
c.r.a.p! I got tinnitus! Xu Que cursed to himself and was about to heal himself by activating the System.
Whoos.h.!.+
Everything brightened up suddenly. A dazzling white light ripped the darkness and gushed in like violent floodwater, which wrapped them up instantly.
Xu Que didn’t know what was happening. He blinked his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, darkness reappeared together with many stars. He even saw a familiar big fireball in the distance.
The Sun?
Xu Que was totally surprised. Wild joy was surging in his heart. Then, he started to search for Earth in the area adjacent to the Sun.
Ding! “Congratulations to the Host in reaching the Solar System successfully. The total elapsed time is 23 hours!” The System’s warning tone came in almost at the same time.
“Hah-hah-hah! Finally, I’m back!” Xu Que laughed aloud.
At the same time, his wounds healed with the System’s Automatic Recovery Function.
At this moment, Jiang Hongyan’s voice could be heard. “Little brat, is this your hometown?” She asked in surprise.
b.u.t.tface was also surprised, “How could this be? There is no Spiritual Qi in this place at all. How could we perform cultivation here?”
“Heh-heh, this is my hometown. I don’t have time for explanation. Let’s go, I’ve found Earth!” Xu Que eyes lit up and he dashed toward the Earth together with Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface.
h.e.l.lo, Earth, I’m back!
Boom!
With magnificent lightning under his feet, he pa.s.sed through the void and dashed toward Earth at a stunning speed.
However, when they were so close to Earth, a horrible power swept in abruptly.
“Oh, no!”
“d.a.m.n! Little brat, retreat, there is a restrictive spell here!”
The voices of Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface could be heard at the same time.
Xu Que was also shocked, but it was too late for him to retreat.
Rumble!
Along with a big bang, he hit an invisible barrier. He got a feeling that he was bounced back by a large cloud of cotton.
Holy c.r.a.p!
Should I say good-bye to Earth?
Xu Que was totally shocked. He landed on the nearest planet together with Jiang Hongyan and b.u.t.tface. He discovered that this planet was the Moon.
“How could this be?” He exclaimed in surprise.
The Earth was protected by the magnificent power of a restrictive spell, which seemed quite old. It seemed this restrictive spell, which was established over 10,000 years ago, was designed to stop intruders!
“This restrictive spell is so powerful. I guess it was set up by a powerful big shot!” Jiang Hongyan said seriously.
“Little brat, it seems your hometown doesn’t welcome you! Let’s go back!” b.u.t.tface said worriedly, for he had been scared by the extremely powerful cultivator who set up this restrictive spell.
“Nonsense! This can’t scare me away!”Xu Que said, clenching his teeth. After returning to Earth with difficulty, he would never be scared away by that barrier.
He activated the System again and asked, “System, find a way to break this restrictive spell, so that we can land on Earth!”
Ding! “This restrictive spell is designed to prevent all alien cultivators. However, it hasn’t been maintained for many years. A lot of loopholes have been found in it. The System has prepared an optimal method to break this spell for the Host!”
Swis.h.!.+
Along with the System’s warning tone, a perfect solution appeared in the System’s interface.
After reading it, Xu Que smiled and let out a sigh of relief to himself!
h.e.l.lo, Earth! I am back!
