In the vast expanse of snowfields in the far north, originally a pristine white, was now illuminated by the swirling kaleidoscope of colors in the sky, casting intricate patterns and hues across the landscape.
Standing beneath the vortex, Fang Yu and Tianji Daoist both wore grave expressions.
This constantly rotating, ever-changing kaleidoscope vortex, looking at it for a few more seconds will make you dizzy, quite unique.
But in the center of the vortex, there seemed to be an opening, or perhaps nothing at all.
Fang Yu frowned and turned his head to look at Tianji Daoist again.
All the information about the holy fruit came from this mysterious old man.
Then… given the current circumstances, Tianji Daoist should have anticipated this.
At this moment, even Tianjidaoren’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his face was very solemn.
Tiānjī Dàorén lowered his head and looked at Fang Yǔ, shaking his head with a complex expression, and replied, “The current situation is beyond my expectations.”
“What was supposed to happen?” Fang Yu asked.
“Originally… after the merging of the Sacred Fruit, it should have directly shot out a beam of light, indicating the direction of the Source Crystal,” Tianji Daoist said with a slight flicker in his eyes.
Fang Yu stopped speaking.
From the look on Tianji Daoist’s face, he should not be lying.
The current situation is indeed beyond his expectations.
What lies within that kaleidoscopic vortex swirling above the Arctic tundra?
“Boom…”
The snowfield continues to shake.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, the kaleidoscope vortex above suddenly released a wave of destructive energy!
This aura is so powerful, it’s suffocating!
“Boom!”
The entire snowfield where Fang Yu was located was visibly collapsing downward!
And in the many towering snow-capped mountains deep in the far north, collapses were happening with alarming speed.
The once extremely stable Arctic region is now experiencing widespread avalanches.
After the kaleidoscopic vortex expands to a certain extent, when you look up, it gives you the illusion that you are just one step away from the ground.
It is precisely because of this that its sense of oppression is even stronger.
“Boom!”
The air above is constantly rising, seemingly without limit!
The entire space seemed to be compressed to the extreme, with a sudden drop in air pressure.
If one does not possess a powerful enough physical body or magical arts, they would be crushed by the pressure from above right now!
Fang Yu’s body shimmered with intense golden light, still suspended in mid-air.
The Celestial Master not far away propped up a semi-transparent shield.
Faced with unprecedented terror, the two handled it surprisingly well.
But at this moment, Tiānjī Dàorén’s eyes were filled with shock.
While Fang Yu’s eyes also flashed with surprise.
This aura, it’s very familiar.
…extremely similar to the aura of the sacred academy guide who had left a deep impression on Fang Yu back then! …
Extremely powerful, far exceeding comprehension.
Within it, there was a mixture of destruction, annihilation, and crushing might. Just coming into contact with this aura could fill one with fear and despair.
However, compared to the feeling that Saint Institute Guide gave Fang Yu at first, the aura emanating from the kaleidoscope vortex in front of him was still slightly inferior, but it was more pure.
“It was the Saintly Pathfinders before… could it be that within this vortex… is the Saintly Will!?” Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed, staring at the center of the whirlpool above.
It seems unreasonable to think that way.
Because the aura emanating from the vortex before him was not as powerful as that of the Saint’s Court Guide he had faced last time.
…and the Saint’s Pathfinders… are merely subordinates of the Saint’s Will.
The aura of the Holy Will, there’s no reason it would be weaker than my own subordinates, right?
“You don’t think that way.” Li Huoyu suddenly spoke.
“Do you have any insights?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.
“If I told you…that you had briefly left the plane of Earth, would you be surprised?” Liohuo jade said after a moment of silence.
“…Huh?” Fang Yu was taken aback.
But he soon understood what Lǐ Huǒyù meant.
“You mean…the void where I fought the Saintly Path Guide back then, was actually already outside of Earth’s plane of existence?!” Fang Yu widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Li Huoyù replied calmly. “Therefore, the aura of the so-called Saint Academy guides you feel is so powerful because it doesn’t belong to the plane of existence that Earth occupies.”
On the Earth plane, it was unrestricted.
And you at that time… were not restricted either.
“”
At first, he could sense the aura of the Saint’s Institute guides was incredibly powerful, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
He could truly fight alongside the Saint’s Guide, but the process was far easier than he imagined.
At that time, he still thought that the Saint Academy’s guide was all bark and no bite, just strong in aura but lacking in real power.
Only now, hearing what Li Huo Yu said… did he understand. That was why he had been able to so easily deal with the Saint Academy guide back then. It was because of his power… and because leaving Earth, this dimension, had removed the limitations!
“So my strength has always been held back? I thought the only thing being limited was my cultivation realm…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at his own hands.
“Limiting your power is no use against the Plane Laws,” Li Huo Yu said. “Once you lose control and unleash your full potential…you don’t need to worry about whether the Plane Laws can detect it, Earth this plane probably won’t be able to withstand it.”
“But I’m still very puzzled, why did I suddenly leave the Earth plane back then without noticing at all…” Fang Yu frowned and said, “And why is this Holy Academy capable of taking people away from planes? Wouldn’t the plane law notice it?”
“That’s why it was so brief,” Lihuoyu said faintly. “When you entered Yuandan, you didn’t leave the plane of existence. But when you burst out of Yuandan…that’s when you were no longer on Earth’s plane.”
As for why this is the case, it’s hard to say. It should probably have something to do with the location of that so-called Saintly Guide.
It’s probably located right at the plane interface, or maybe some kind of spell involving planes…
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, and there was still a look of shock in his heart.
He originally thought that his closest chance to escape from the dimensional plane was when he last left Earth through that teleportation array…and then when he was sent back by that will.
“So that means… the one about to emerge from the vortex before us is truly the Saint’s Will!?” Fang Yu looked up at the kaleidoscope vortex above, his eyes narrowed.
“Perhaps.” replied Fire Jade.
“How did the Holy Court’s will circumvent the planar laws? Could it be through the Holy Fruit…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
“It’s very likely, master. These sacred fruits should not exist on Earth. They were left here by some beings in advance, waiting for the right time to merge them and open a passage that bypasses the laws of the planes.”
