the endless darkness and raging gales—
A faint green light suddenly flickered to life, bringing a trace of brightness into this pitch-black realm.
Whoosh~
As that faint green glow expanded, it revealed itself to be a green sun over two meters in diameter, streaking swiftly through the air.
Its surface blazed with beautiful emerald flames.
Crackle!Sizzle!
Countless green arcs of lightning danced restlessly across its surface.
Yet, this green sun did not give off any sense of scorching heat or destruction. On the contrary, at first glance, one would feel an inexplicable warmth spread through their heart.
That gentle, emerald light bloomed faintly, becoming the only source of illumination in the endless dark, bringing a sliver of vitality to this lifeless place.
Whoosh~
The green sun shot forward, trailing a slender green tail behind it. From afar, it looked like a green comet, dragging a long tail of light as it cut through the boundless cosmic void.
Along the way, savage wind blades continuously slammed into the green sun, yet they were completely unable to slow it down in the slightest.
In fact—if one looked closely—it was almost amusing: many of those wind blades that struck the green sun were snatched up by the green flames in a swift coil and instantly vanished, as if devoured.
Clearly, the Death Life Flame, even while traveling at full speed, was still taking sneaky bites along the way—snacking while it worked.
Even if it had changed its name, its foodie nature was clearly unchanged. After all, what did changing its name have to do with its appetite?
Inside the green sun—
It was warm, filled with a dense aura of life.
Wei Yang and the others sat inside as if soaking in the waters of a Fountain of Life, utterly comfortable.
Even the fatigue weighing on their bodies and souls was gradually being washed away by the rich vitality surrounding them.
This alone left Xian’er and the others full of admiration.
In its green form, the Death Life Flame’s life force was no weaker than that of the Life Spirit Flame—it could be called a true Immortal Flame.
Anyone who possessed it would be near impossible to kill—just like an indestructible cockroach. Whether healing the body or the soul, its recovery ability was formidable. In fact, compared to the legendary Three Thousand Burning Flame, it was even more impressive.
As for whether the power of life was superior or inferior to the power of stars—well, that was a matter of personal opinion.
Still, there was one thing the Life Spirit Flame could do that the Three Thousand Burning Flame absolutely could not—its outrageous ability to rapidly cultivate and mature medicinal herbs.
As the green sun sped through the darkness, it gradually left its previous location far behind.
At the same time, Wei Yang continued to scan the surroundings with his soul perception, constantly adjusting their course.
Eventually, they reached the outer edge of this domain.
Finally, in a single instant—
Pop!
With a soft sound, the green sun seemed to break through an invisible barrier, and the crushing pressure instantly disappeared.
"We’ve successfully left the range of the wind domain. Next, let’s get a little farther away—then I want to see exactly what the hell this wind domain is." Wei Yang said with a smile.
"Mhm." Xian’er and the others nodded with relieved smiles.
Now that they had escaped the wind domain, there was no longer any pressure on them, and they no longer had to worry about exhausting themselves.
The green sun continued to fly onward, distancing them from the region.
From afar, it would look as if a green sun was rising slowly in the endless dark.
After another brief flight, Wei Yang judged the distance to be sufficient and finally halted.
Hum~
The rapidly moving green sun slowed to a stop.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One after another, several figures slipped out from the green sun.
The green sun trembled slightly, then quickly shrank down to the size of a fist, dropping into Wei Yang’s palm.
The five of them stood in the dark void, scanning their surroundings.
At that moment—
"Look! Stars!" Qing Lin suddenly exclaimed with delight.
"Stars?" Wei Yang and the others perked up, quickly turning to follow the direction of her finger.
Sure enough, in the far distance, on the edge of the darkness—so far away they couldn’t tell the exact distance—there were dozens of tiny silver lights scattered sparsely across the black, faintly twinkling.
It was like a vast black curtain, dotted with tiny diamonds.
After traveling an unfathomable distance, the starlight, when it finally shone upon the stretch of void where Wei Yang and the others now stood, had already grown faint and dim.
Still, it brought a trace of light into this endless darkness.
What would normally be an insignificant glimmer, at this moment, was enough to bring a rare sense of delight to Wei Yang and his companions.
After all, they had been in this boundless darkness for an entire month. At this moment, even the faintest trace of starlight was enough to stir an unexpected wave of emotion in their hearts.
They simply stood there, staring blankly at the dozens of tiny points of light far on the horizon, reluctant to draw back their gazes even after a long while.
When you’ve been in darkness long enough, even the smallest hint of light becomes something you want to treasure.
Light — it seemed to represent hope.
No one knew how long passed.
Only after some time did Wei Yang and the others reluctantly draw back their gazes. They lowered their heads, looking down toward the path they had come from. And then — they saw a scene so breathtaking it shook them to their core.
Below, in the darkness, lit faintly by that weak starlight, they caught sight — blurry but unmistakable — of a true wonder of heaven and earth.
A colossal Vortex of Wind!
It hung there, sprawling wide, its diameter easily exceeding a thousand li. Like a deep black hole, or a massive mouth in the heavens, as if it could swallow everything.
Endless gales churned within, forming this Vortex of Wind, spinning at great speed. It looked almost like the blades of a fan spinning at full force.
A massive, rotating spiral of wind, suspended in the endless void.
Its angle tilted slightly downward — and the direction its mouth faced was exactly where Wei Yang and the others had come from.
In other words, the source of the Black Storm over the Great Plains of the Black Region was none other than this Vortex of Wind! The gales it blew traveled an unknown, immeasurable distance before finally reaching the Great Plains of the Black Region.
And Wei Yang’s group had come all this way, advancing directly against those winds, to arrive here at last.
It was like a giant, high above the earth, raising an enormous fan and tilting it toward the ground, blowing with all its might.
Such a spectacle of heaven and earth truly left one in awe.
"I..." Wei Yang opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words to express what he felt in that moment.
Xian’er and the others were the same, their faces filled with shock and disbelief as they gazed down at that colossal Vortex of Wind.
Even the well-traveled A Da could not conceal the shock in his eyes.
Such vast, majestic power of heaven and earth could not help but stir a deep, instinctive sense of reverence in one’s heart.
Before such power, they all felt an overwhelming sense of their own insignificance. Like ants gazing up at the starry sky.
After a long silence.
"This... this is what true power is!" Wei Yang sighed with emotion.
In that instant, he finally realized just how small and insignificant he was. Before, he had been rather like a frog at the bottom of a well. Before such power of heaven and earth, his so-called strength was truly not worth mentioning.
But soon, he collected himself.
And with that came a blazing heat — and desire!
A pursuit of true power.
Having witnessed the real heavens and earth, he finally understood what it was he should be seeking from this day forward.
What... true power really was.
One must have reverence, but also pursuit.
"This kind of power... I’ll possess it one day too!" Wei Yang clenched his fists slowly, his gaze burning as he locked onto that Vortex of Wind, silently vowing to himself.
One hand holding the green sun, he slowly raised the other, reaching toward the Vortex of Wind in the distance, and grasped firmly.
As if he could seize that power and hold it tightly in the palm of his hand.
