I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 405: The True Face of the World (2)

And in that instant when the white jade-like colossal palm emerged from the void, a woman's voice resonated in the vacant canopy above Lu Heng's head.

It seemed as if the other party was distantly separated to such an extent that even the sound became muffled. As if there were countless barriers between her and Lu Heng.

However, Lu Heng still discerned the anxiety embedded within that voice.

"A Heng, hurry, don't provoke the Earthly Behemoth!"

The fair and colossal palm appeared as if carved from white jade, its skin flawless and even, possessing a beauty that bordered on the surreal.

However, the might of this palm far exceeded the desperate struggle unleashed by Lu Heng, as he unleashed the power of Heavenly Thunder.

With just a single palm, that behemoth, surpassing her in size, trembled and staggered back.

Following that, the Earthly Behemoth outside the tear in space let out a furious roar, provoked by the woman's palm. That piercing roar was not merely a sound wave, but a terrifying force that penetrated the soul, shredding everything in its path. Instantly, it tore through the interdimensional space, magnifying the already intimidating tear by hundreds of times!

After countless fragments of space shattered, amidst the dazzling array of stars that emerged, Lu Heng beheld the complete panorama of the outer world…

A monstrous creature of terrifying proportions coiled around the spatial barriers of the Celestial Desolation Realm, akin to a serpent. It nearly entrapped the entirety of the Celestial Desolation Realm!

The surface of the behemoth was covered in densely packed golden beast pupils and a terrifying huge mouth filled with sharp fangs. Each beast pupil and every single fang measured tens of thousands of meters in length, effortlessly surpassing the height of Mount Everest.

And the colossal head that Lu Heng laid eyes upon was merely one among the countless heads of the behemoth!

What's even more terrifying is that all these heads are roaring angrily towards the Celestial Desolation Realm. Within the gaping maws of the behemoth, an endless surge of life essence and a dense array of soul shadows are being drawn out from within the world barriers of the Celestial Desolation Realm, only to be devoured by this terrifying beast.

This behemoth, is it constantly absorbing the life essence and souls of the entire Celestial Desolation Realm?!

Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Heng found himself immersed in an overwhelming state of incredulous astonishment.

However, for Lu Heng at this moment, while the truth of the world may be terrifying, survival becomes the utmost priority!

Standing within the Cloud Sea Sky Palace, Lu Heng, unable to move, nevertheless felt a surge of immense power emanating from the void and permeating the confines of this celestial palace. The Sky Palace, once only visible during internal cultivation, now manifested in tangible reality before his very eyes.

In an instant, as Lu Heng's thoughts stirred, flashes of lightning danced within the Cloud Sea Sky Palace, giving rise to ethereal white divine figures amidst the swirling clouds and mist.

These divine figures, composed of heavenly thunder and swirling mist, possessed an unfathomable and formidable power. As the Earthly Behemoth roared and charged forth, resplendent lightning ascended from the celestial palace, while the white divine figures, roaring in fury, flew out of the palace wielding Dao-level artifacts, and launched themselves towards the Earthly Behemoth.

Meanwhile, a woman's palm emerged from the void and once again slammed towards this provoked Earthly Behemoth, striving to buy time for Lu Heng's escape.

Upon the divine throne, Lu Heng dared not linger. Despite the myriad of anxieties and perplexities in his heart, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to flee at full speed.

The vast and enigmatic Cloud Sea Sky Palace carried Lu Heng through the extradimensional space in a frantic escape, effortlessly surpassing the speed of the ethereal glimmers produced by Lu Heng's personal spiritual power.

And in the void behind him, a woman's voice resounded once again. Still distant and ethereal, carrying numerous echoes.

However, Lu Heng keenly felt that sentiment…

"Hurry, A Heng! Once you reach the moment of true manifestation in the Heavenly Palace, then come and find me in the Celestial Realm…"

The woman's desperate voice, filled with both anguish and plea, abruptly ceased within these surroundings.

Immediately following, there resounded a deafening roar, accompanied by the surging spiritual energy that shook the entire extradimensional space.

The roar of the Earthly Behemoth, along with the shattering of the woman's illusory palm, became the final spectacle witnessed by Lu Heng within the extradimensional space…

…

……

The sensation of passing through the spatial barrier was somewhat uncomfortable.

The chilly snowflakes delicately drifted down onto Lu Heng's shoulders.

He stood frozen in the snow-covered wasteland, hoisting the limp and frail young boy, only to realize that he had finally returned to the earthly realm.

The enormous and terrifying behemoth, surpassing ordinary comprehension, vanished, and the ethereal hand of the exquisitely beautiful woman, radiant like white jade, also disappeared. The Cloud Sea Sky Palace, materialized by the woman's spiritual power, now dissipated within Lu Heng's being.

Even if Lu Heng immersed himself in deep contemplation, all he could perceive was a realm of elusive illusions, shrouded in mist and clouds-a mirage-like Sky Palace. His divine consciousness couldn't even step foot inside, let alone condensing clouds and lightning or manifesting those awe-inspiring celestial deities within the clouds.

The peculiar and extraordinary alternate dimension also vanished from Lu Heng's perception.

In the desolate wilderness, where the biting cold wind swept through, Lu Heng stood motionless. In his hand, he held the unconscious young boy, while a curious deer stood nearby, observing the scene in the snowy expanse.

Under the moonlight, this scene seemed to be frozen like a comical masterpiece.

Until several breaths had passed, Lu Heng's immobile body twitched ever so slightly, turning his gaze towards the past, causing the curious deer that had just passed by to hastily flee with bounding leaps.

Lu Heng, bowing his head, gazed at the unconscious Sun Yan in his hands and whispered, "Sister Yuanjun…"

At this moment, there is no need for doubt; Sister Yuanjun is still alive.

Not only is she alive, but she has also transformed into an immensely powerful being, surpassing anyone Lu Heng has ever encountered.

Lu Heng's previous resurrection in the Zhuxian Ancient City was also her doing.

Even Lu Heng's crossing into this world, Lu Heng suspected it was Sister Yuanjun's doing.

After all, Sister Yuanjun could mention the Cloud Sea Sky Palace and even speak of enabling Lu Heng to cultivate and reach the Celestial Realm…

All the evidence proves that Sister Yuanjun is well aware of Lu Heng's peculiar cultivation aptitude.contemporary romance

However, she probably doesn't know the true situation of Lu Heng in this realm, nor is she aware of Lu Heng's unconventional approach and the secret technique he has developed, allowing his spiritual and physical bodies to coexist. Otherwise, she would not have intervened repeatedly for the sake of Lu Heng's spiritual incarnation.

After all, judging from the current situation, each time she lends support to Lu Heng, it is extremely difficult and met with tremendous resistance…

Within the snowy landscape, Lu Heng's brow furrows deeply.

The entirety witnessed today shatters the worldview he has constructed over the past few years, exposing him to unprecedented mind-boggling scenes.

But at the same time, numerous perplexities surged in his heart.

The Earthly Behemoth, crouched outside the Celestial Desolation Realm, constantly absorbing the vitality of living beings and the souls of the deceased, as well as Sister Yuanjun, who has become enigmatic and unfathomable, even capable of defying the Earthly Behemoth…

Originally, Lu Heng, who thought he was familiar with this world, only now realizes in this moment that everything he has seen is merely superficial.

Behind this world, where demons run rampant and the wasteland stretches far and wide, lies an unknown and terrifying truth.
