A sound like shattering glass exploded ceaselessly.

Though Nie Kong didn't look back, he knew precisely what was happening behind him. As the illusionary teleportation array activated, the very space he passed through was being relentlessly pulverized by the power contained within it.

At this moment, Nie Kong dared not spare a shred of attention; traversing space like this was the most perilous endeavor.

If the speed of transit lagged behind the rate at which the spatial rifts fractured, one’s entire being would be shredded into pieces by terrifying spatial forces—even a Spiritual God could hardly remain whole.

In the span of a thought, his primordial power continued to pour into the illusion talisman.

Ever since the array began, minute illusion talismans had enveloped Nie Kong. These talismans were formed entirely from condensed power, requiring Nie Kong to supply continuous primordial energy to sustain their existence. A lack of sufficient power would cause the talismans to dissipate, resulting in the failure of the teleportation.

Whoosh! Nie Kong’s form shot forward like a streak of light, darting rapidly through the void.

The consumption of primordial power was astonishingly fast. Before long, eighty percent of Nie Kong’s energy was depleted, and the chilling snap sound rapidly closed in.

Fortunately, he had anticipated such a scenario.

"Tai Yan!"

With Nie Kong’s low cry, the brilliant crimson 'Hui Mou Hua' burst from his chest. A blood-red aura flooded into his body, instantly transforming into even more immense primordial power, merging with the surrounding illusion talismans.

The next instant, Nie Kong’s body rocketed forward; the gradually slowing transmission speed suddenly surged.

Nearly a minute later.

Bang!

Nie Kong, like a projectile from a cannon, suddenly burst from the dark void into a space flooded with light.

He had arrived!

Nie Kong rejoiced, but to his surprise, the sensation of solid ground never materialized. His body traced a parabola through the air before plummeting rapidly. What greeted his eyes was not land, but countless star-like shadows—some large, some small, some above, some below—distributed sporadically across the boundless emptiness, utterly without pattern.

Nie Kong had no time to ponder. His eyes swept left and right.

"Instant Shift!"

Utilizing a fifth-tier skill mastered by the little fellow, Nie Kong’s figure flickered, forcing a hard lateral movement until he landed upon a small cluster of shadows a dozen meters to his right.

Thud!

A massive roar shook the void. Nie Kong abruptly spun around...

In the opposing space, a mass of shadow spanning several dozen meters suddenly fragmented into dust, then was utterly devoured by a spatial rift that flashed into existence along its edge. Faintly, Nie Kong discerned that the shadow cluster seemed to have markings resembling a teleportation array, though it completely vanished with that loud explosion.

Nie Kong instantly understood.

Before arriving, he had never considered the destination of the illusionary teleportation array would be such an environment—that what hosted the array was something so small. The illusionary talismans at the array’s terminus were intact, but without the support of vast land, they simply could not withstand the impact generated during the transmission.

It was fortunate he had pushed through in one continuous surge and not lingered within the array; otherwise, he might have suffered disaster now. While relieved, Nie Kong also wiped a bead of cold sweat from his brow.

"Where in the Divine Void Realm could this be?"

With a mental command, Nie Kong carefully observed the surrounding shadows, which appeared to be either rock fragments or hard clods of black earth. Straining his vision, he could see no end whatsoever.

"Continental Fragments!"

These words suddenly flashed in Nie Kong’s mind, bringing sudden clarity.

According to the records in the Divine Void Anomalies, the Divine Void Realm was a colossal continent suspended in the void, and densely surrounding it were a massive number of continental fragments. These fragments, like the main Divine Void Realm, floated in the air, some of the larger ones spanning tens of thousands of meters across.

"Is this the Divine Void Realm?"

Hui Mou Hua turned its head around, Tai Yan muttering curiously. With a splash, Qing You also darted out from Nie Kong’s chest, landing on his shoulder.

Lan Ling’s figure flickered, and she too emerged from the beast tablet, surveying the surroundings. "The Divine Void Realm doesn't seem any different from our Heavenly Spirit Continent—wait, there is a difference. The spiritual elemental energy here is extremely sparse, less than one-tenth that of the Heavenly Spirit Continent. It's truly strange."

Nie Kong smiled. "That’s not strange. In these continental fragment belts, space is very unstable, and spatial rifts appear frequently. Over the past ten thousand years, almost all the spiritual energy has been devoured. Lan Ling, Qing You, don't wander off. Tai Yan and I need to recover our strength before we set off."

As he spoke, Nie Kong already settled into a cross-legged position.

Although the teleportation process wasn't long, Nie Kong’s primordial power had been utterly drained, and Tai Yan had also expended immense energy. If they didn't restore their strength first, they would be ill-equipped to cope if danger arose.

This was no idle worry. It was rumored that powerful experts from the Divine Void Realm often roamed these fragment belts. Being newly arrived, Nie Kong had to be extremely cautious.

In the days spent repairing the illusion array with Hua Pian Pian, Nie Kong had also refined three 'Dragon-Tiger Heaven Sun Pills' for himself. This was a ninth-grade spirit medicine; upon consumption, it allowed a Heavenly Spirit Master to fully recover their strength in an extremely short time. Its formulation was derived from the pill recipes of those Pill Immortal Sects.

He had already consumed two of the three precious spirit medicines immediately upon exiting the teleportation array.

In less than half an hour, Nie Kong stood up, his spirit refreshed, and looked toward the figure flickering and leaping between the continental fragments. He smiled, "Lan Ling, the next stage is up to you!"

"Good."

Pausing her steps on a patch of shadow, Lan Ling instantly grasped Nie Kong's intent. She nodded with a beaming smile, her delicate form transforming into the colossal God-Devouring Flower. Its vines lightly coiled, wrapping around the dozens of fragments within the radius of her body, resembling a massive, impossibly large spider web floating effortlessly in the void.

Without a word, a vine wrapped around Nie Kong's waist, and with a slight tug, Nie Kong settled in the center of the God-Devouring Flower.

"Here we go!"

Qing You cheered, flowing down Nie Kong’s back and excitedly weaving through the dense mesh of vines and leaves, the sound of flowing water incessant. Tai Yan, despite his formidable strength, had not lost any of his innate fear of heights; he merely stayed hidden in Nie Kong's chest, occasionally turning his flower face to peer out. Lan Ling wasted no more time. Her vines acted like the tentacles of an octopus, continuously latching onto the continental fragments ahead. Although she was gliding by leveraging these points, her speed was in no way slow.

In this area where spiritual elemental energy was abnormally scarce, although Nie Kong could still soar through the air, it required expending vast amounts of primordial power or divine energy, making it unsustainable for long. For Lan Ling, however, traversing this region presented no difficulty whatsoever—it was as simple as eating or drinking.

Nie Kong stood motionless, gazing ahead, his spiritual sense extending infinitely forward, meticulously probing the surrounding void.

The spiritual energy contained within the void was meager, but its concentration was not entirely uniform. The continental fragment belt was distributed in a circular pattern; the closer one got to the main Divine Void Realm, the richer the spiritual energy became. By advancing toward areas of relatively higher concentration, he wouldn't have to worry about getting lost in this fragment belt.

Nie Kong was confident in his sensory abilities. Under his direction, Lan Ling periodically adjusted their course...
