    Chapter 359 – Dangers One After Another, Su Xing Falls Unconscious!

    In the Real World, Su Xing saw this and gave a slight nod.

    Fighting a Strange Voidbeast of similar strength in the Endless Sea was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

    A cultivator’s own strength would be greatly diminished, while the Strange Voidbeast could exert its full power.

    Once a prolonged battle broke out, the Endless Sea had no spiritual energy to replenish from—a cultivator’s magical power would only gradually deplete. At that point, as one side waned and the other waxed, the situation would become impossible to handle.

    “That’s exactly why I must end this quickly and decisively—take out this Strange Voidbeast as fast as possible!”

    Su Xing murmured with narrowed eyes.

    His current Body Tempering cultivation had already reached the fifth layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, giving him combat power comparable to a Mystic Immortal!

    And a Body Tempering cultivator’s strength was not greatly affected in the void.

    Counting through Su Xing’s supernatural arts—Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, Myriad Stars Attraction, and Protective Sword Aura all required no magical power to activate, so they could still be fully utilized.

    “This time, I must kill the Strange Voidbeast with lightning speed, swift as thunder before one can cover their ears—only then can I eliminate the hidden danger…”

    “I haven’t even covered a third of the journey through the Endless Sea. Who knows what dangers await further ahead, so I must conserve my strength.”

    Su Xing thought this, his gaze turning to the simulation panel.

    【Facing this late-stage Mystic Immortal Strange Voidbeast, you held nothing back. The moment you met it, you unleashed your supernatural art Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, transforming into a giant. With the Dao of Speed augmenting your body, you threw a single punch!】

    【In this punch, you held nothing back whatsoever. The full power of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer erupted completely—enough to shatter stars and destroy worlds!】

    【After taking your punch, the Strange Voidbeast’s body, spanning dozens of miles in length, was directly smashed inward. Blood floated and scattered through the void, and the wound was a shocking sight to behold.】

    【With merely a single strike, this late-stage Mystic Immortal Strange Voidbeast had already been critically wounded by you!】

    【However, the Strange Voidbeast’s vitality was still not to be underestimated.】

    【After being critically wounded by your single strike, the Strange Voidbeast still possessed formidable combat strength and came shrieking toward you.】

    【Watching the Strange Voidbeast shriek and struggle toward you, for some reason, an ominous premonition welled up in your heart.】

    【Therefore, you hesitated no longer and resolved to end the battle swiftly.】

    【This battle lasted an entire month!】

    【In the end, relying on your tenacious stamina and leveraging the No Martial Virtue talent, you activated Myriad Stars Attraction, drawing down stars from the Endless Sea to crush this Mystic Immortal realm Strange Voidbeast to death.】

    【This battle lasted a full month, and that was with you holding an absolute advantage from the start. Had you not launched a surprise attack beforehand to wound the Strange Voidbeast, the fight would likely have dragged on even longer…】

    【But fortunately, you successfully killed it. After extracting the valuable materials from the Strange Voidbeast’s corpse, you returned to the Star-Moon Shuttle.】

    【After returning to the Star-Moon Shuttle, you hurriedly began adjusting your breathing and cultivation.】

    【From prolonged exposure to the Endless Sea, the magical power within your body had become somewhat mottled. The rapid depletion of your stamina meant your condition was no longer at its Peak.】

    【So you quickly took out some medicinal pills and began regulating your breathing to heal your injuries and restore the magical power within your body.】

    【At the same time, you piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle, heading toward the void node.】

    【The Star-Moon Shuttle transformed into a streak of flowing light, passing through the void node as the surrounding scenery rapidly shifted…】

    【Moments later, the Star-Moon Shuttle emerged from another void node. You had arrived in the central region of the Endless Sea…】

    【At this point, you had truly penetrated deep into the Endless Sea, existing in constant danger at every moment.】

    【Without the slightest hesitation, you quickly took out the map and sailed onward into the depths of the Endless Sea…】

    In the Real World, seeing this, Su Xing’s expression grew solemn.

    “Indeed, I should now be entering the core region of the Endless Sea. It’s far more dangerous than before!”

    “The chaotic void currents here—without the Star-Moon Shuttle, it would probably be impossible to pass through, right?”

    “And the Strange Voidbeasts here must all be terrifyingly powerful… If I encounter one, the only option would be to flee!”

    Su Xing was somewhat worried. If another drawn-out battle occurred in the Endless Sea, the rest of the voyage would not go smoothly—it might even become impossible to cross the Endless Sea entirely.

    “Sigh, I just hope the rest of the voyage goes smoothly…”

    Su Xing silently prayed, then turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.

    【Following the map of that route, you quickly found a relatively safe zone and sailed toward your target destination.】

    【In the blink of an eye, another four years passed…】

    【Year two hundred and twenty-five. Inside the Star-Moon Shuttle, you wearily piloted the vessel while regulating the somewhat chaotic magical power within your body…】

    【Having been in the Endless Sea for twenty-five years, the magical power within your body had already begun to grow chaotic. Each day, you had to rely on absorbing spirit liquid to maintain your cultivation and strength to handle any dangers.】

    【Although your cultivation realm had not declined, the chaos in your magical power still caused your combat strength to drop by a level.】

    【But fortunately, it seemed the Heaven-Sent Fortune talent had taken effect. Your entire voyage had gone smoothly, and you had not encountered too many terrifying Strange Voidbeasts launching attacks against you.】

    【There was only one occasion when you spotted, from far away, a Strange Voidbeast the size of a star. Its aura was so terrifying you almost didn’t dare breathe…】

    【Without a doubt, that was a Strange Voidbeast comparable to a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal. Its combat power within the Endless Sea far surpassed an ordinary Supreme Unity.】

    【But fortunately, you only glimpsed it from afar before swiftly piloting the Star-Moon Shuttle to flee. That Strange Voidbeast seemed to have no interest in you either, and simply drifted away.】

    【After this false alarm, you became even more cautious, expending magical power to divine potential dangers after every stretch of travel.】

    【Like this, over twenty years passed without incident…】

    【Year two hundred and fifty. You successfully arrived near the second void node.】

    【According to the records, after passing through this void node, you would leave the core region of the Endless Sea, and things would become much safer then.】

    【But by this year, your strength had already declined severely. The chaotic magical power within your body made it nearly impossible to unleash supernatural arts or spells.】

    【At this moment, you finally understood why the Endless Sea was called a land of certain death…】

    【Because even without the interference of Strange Voidbeasts and spatial chaos currents, in this “spirit-forbidden” land devoid of any spiritual energy, a cultivator’s power would gradually decline—ordinary cultivators would struggle to even survive.】

    【You estimated that even someone like you could not survive for long in the depths of the Endless Sea. Enduring for several decades was already an extraordinary feat.】

    【Therefore, for ordinary Mystic Immortals, the depths of the Endless Sea were truly a land of certain death!】

    【But fortunately, you passed through the second void node without real danger, once again traversing an immeasurable distance, drawing ever closer to the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

    【Yet you did not let your guard down in the slightest. Although you had left the most dangerous core region, the voyage ahead remained fraught with peril.】

    【Moreover, your current strength was less than a tenth of what it once was. If you encountered another Strange Voidbeast above the Mystic Immortal level, the odds would be heavily against you…】

    In the Real World, Su Xing let out a sigh at this.

    “The Endless Sea really is dangerous!”

    “With my current strength… forcing my way through the Endless Sea is still too premature!”

    “Being able to hold on this long, barely encountering any dangers—the Heaven-Sent Fortune talent has already shown its power…”

    “I just hope that from here on, the Heaven-Sent Fortune talent can continue to take effect and let me safely reach the Celestial Secrets Realm!”

    Su Xing murmured, his gaze returning to the simulation panel.

    【You continued piloting the Star-Moon Shuttle, sailing toward the Celestial Secrets Realm.】

    【It seemed your luck played a crucial role. For the next stretch of time, the seas were calm and the winds were still. You sailed smoothly for over twenty years.】

    【Year two hundred and seventy-three. The erosion of the Endless Sea upon you had grown increasingly severe. Your cultivation began to temporarily decline. Although you still retained mid-stage True Immortal cultivation, your magical power had become hollow and unstable.】

    【The good news was that you were getting closer and closer to the edge of the Endless Sea…】

    【According to the route map, in just a few more years, you would successfully reach the boundary between the Celestial Secrets Realm and the Endless Sea.】

    【So you gritted your teeth and persisted, continuing to sail toward the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

    【You had grown accustomed to the loneliness and darkness of the Endless Sea. The lights drifting about often signified danger.】

    【But the closer you got to the edge of the Endless Sea, the weaker the Strange Voidbeasts became, and the safer you were.】

    【You piloted the Star-Moon Shuttle onward. In the blink of an eye, several more years passed…】

    【Year two hundred and eighty. After several years of sailing, you had once again reached the edge of the Endless Sea.】

    【By your estimate, in three days at most, you could successfully leave the Endless Sea and arrive at the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

    【So you left the Star-Moon Shuttle, preparing to cross the void in your physical body to reach the Heavenly Secrets Domain.】

    【After all, the Star-Moon Shuttle was a large target. If cultivators of this realm discovered it, you would inevitably be exposed.】

    【Although your cultivation had greatly diminished, crossing the void for two or three days was no difficult task for you.】

    【You cast Earthshrink Golden Light and flew toward the Heavenly Secrets Domain…】

    【You originally thought you would arrive at the Heavenly Secrets Domain without incident, but you never expected that at the very last moment, the unexpected still happened…】

    【What had set its sights on you was an early-stage Mystic Immortal Strange Voidbeast!】

    【Such strength, to the usual you, would naturally not be worth mentioning. While you couldn’t destroy it with a flick of your fingers, you could still slay it in the end.】

    【But now, after over a hundred years of voyaging through the void, your strength had been severely diminished. A Mystic Immortal realm Strange Voidbeast could now pose a genuine threat to you.】

    【Perhaps because you were about to leave the Endless Sea, you had let your guard slip slightly. Or perhaps it was because this Strange Voidbeast possessed the ability to conceal itself and hide within spatial folds, briefly blocking your perception.】

    【By the time you detected this Strange Voidbeast, it had already closed in on you and unleashed a terrifying spatial blade from its maw, hurtling toward you.】

    【You were struck by this sudden attack!】

    【Completely unguarded, the blade pierced through your primordial energy armor and Protective Hardened Qi, shooting straight toward your skull.】

    【Had the strike landed true, your physical body would have been destroyed on the spot.】

    【But fortunately, at the critical moment, a stabbing pain emanated from between your brows, causing you to instinctively dodge. You narrowly—just barely—avoided the attack on your vital area.】

    【But as the price, you lost your left arm…】

    【Your entire left arm was severed at the root by the Strange Voidbeast’s strike. You let out a muffled grunt, enduring the agony as you turned to face your attacker.】

    【At the same time, you desperately channeled the qi and blood and life force within your body, urging your left arm to regenerate.】

    【But you had been so severely weakened by the Endless Sea, with your strength declining across the board, that the severed arm simply could not regrow in any short amount of time.】

    【The Strange Voidbeast before you had no intention of letting you go. A prolonged battle was about to erupt.】

    【But the magical power within your body had long since become hollow and chaotically unstable. Spells and supernatural arts were nearly impossible to cast—you could only rely on your Body Tempering cultivation to fight it.】

    【Over a hundred years of voyaging had left your physical body exhausted and weary. Combined with the loss of an arm and the severe reduction in strength, you were actually being suppressed by this Strange Voidbeast in the short term!】

    【You could only fend off the Strange Voidbeast while seizing opportunities to consume spirit medicines to heal your injuries and stabilize the rampaging magical power within your body.】

    【This battle lasted a full three months!】

    【In the final moments, your physical body was utterly exhausted, your divine soul damaged, your spirit flagging… but you still unleashed every last bit of your Protective Sword Aura, completely turning the tables and killing the Strange Voidbeast.】

    【After slaying the Strange Voidbeast, your figure swayed and you nearly lost your footing. Just as you were about to tend to your injuries, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over you.】

    【The chaotic magical power within your body erupted into complete turmoil at that moment. Your exhausted divine soul could no longer hold on, and your vision plunged into darkness…】

    In the Real World, Su Xing froze for a moment upon seeing this, then widened his eyes and exclaimed:

    “What the hell—don’t tell me I failed at the very last moment?!”

    “That damned Strange Voidbeast… showing up at a time like this!”

    Su Xing felt helpless. This simulation was arguably the most miserable battle he had ever fought…

    In previous battles, when he was directly crushed by superior strength, Su Xing had nothing much to say—after all, his power and realm had simply been insufficient.

    But this time, it was because Su Xing’s condition was truly terrible, with his strength rapidly declining.

    In the end, even after defeating this Strange Voidbeast, he still couldn’t avoid falling unconscious…

    “Is this simulation going to end here?”

    Su Xing let out a sigh.

    Having fallen unconscious in the dangerous Endless Sea, Su Xing truly could not think of any way to turn things around.

    Although Su Xing’s physical body was resilient enough that he wouldn’t immediately disintegrate in the void…

    It wouldn’t be long before other Strange Voidbeasts discovered him, and then Su Xing would inevitably become their meal.

    “Right now, the only thing I can count on is the Heaven-Sent Fortune talent… Can it deliver another miracle?”

    Su Xing felt uneasy. If he failed here, his plan to voyage across the Endless Sea would be delayed. At the very least, he couldn’t risk another attempt anytime soon…

    With these thoughts, Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.

    【Your vision plunged into darkness. Your consciousness began to gradually fade as your physical body drifted through the void of the Endless Sea.】

    【In the distance, several points of light slowly drew closer—they appeared to be roaming Strange Voidbeasts…】

    【…】

    【When you next awoke, you found yourself in a crude, simple room.】

    【Your first reaction was that you had been fortunate enough to survive. Then you began to observe your surroundings…】
