In a certain villa district in the capital, Huang Tielan had dinner with Sun Lan, and made her way back to the Huang family’s ancestral home. Afterwards, she went to the gym and started working out.
“Strange… why am I starting to put on weight again?” Miss Tielan was depressed.
She realized that ever since Zhang Che returned safely, there were signs of her putting on weight madly. Even though she did weight loss exercises every day, the effects weren’t obvious at all.
“Shit… is my body type the legendary easily fat kind? The type where I will get fat by just drinking water? How horrifying…”
Miss Tienan didn’t want to put on weight again after slimming down with much difficulty.
As such, the number of times she did weight loss exercises increased from twice to thrice a day, but she was still unable to stop her flesh from becoming thicker.
“This won’t do. I have to start dieting. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoche will get frightened when he returns and see that my appearance rebounded to the way it was!”
——-
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flew close to the water’s surface, circling around the island. Not far above his head was the dark cloud-like wind belt.
Zhang Che watched closely with narrowed eyes for quite some time. After confirming that there was indeed no danger flying in this manner, he had the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon return to him, then mounted on the dragon’s back, flying to the horizon.
Zhang Che had vivid memories of seeing a tiny island when he just arrived in this dimension earlier, whose surface area was only a small spread of rocks.
If he wanted to dig through this dimension, that island was his best choice in this area.
As he flew towards his destination, there was indeed no danger at all.
The water’s surface was oddly calm. Let alone those terrifyingly huge sea beasts, there weren’t even signs of any little fish appearing.
It seemed like the black wind above them was indeed extremely abnormal, actually bringing about such great pressure onto those sea creatures.
After arriving at the bald island, Zhang Che found a place to settle down and rest, while he had the Purple Crystal Tortoise start digging down into the center of the island by itself.
In any case, that fellow wouldn’t be done digging to the bottom anytime soon. Zhang Che could use this time to sleep.
—
The next morning, Zhang Che was woken up by the blinding light. The Purple Crystal Tortoise had yet to complete its mission; it seemed like the ground in this dimension was much deeper than the previous level.
Zhang Che wasn’t in a hurry, however. After a simple wash up, he had a roasted meat breakfast together with the frisky monkey, prepared by the Scarlet Flame Drake, before jumping into the hole unhurriedly to take a look.
Following the spiral hole down, Zhang Che made sure to take a good look at the walls around him. He didn’t discover any rare minerals; it seemed like this dimension didn’t have that kind of resources.
—
In the afternoon, the Purple Crystal Tortoise finally reached the bottom of the ground. Zhang Che finally saw the mysterious light membrane.
“It’s really like that!” Zhang Che felt a huge weight lifted off his chest. With a wave of his hand, he recalled all his babies into his spiritual sea, then laid prone on the light membrane, focusing his mind on the golden vortex in his spiritual sea.
Even if his next destination was a similar dimension, Zhang Che wasn’t afraid at all. In any case, he’d just keep digging down. A day would finally come when he dug his way out.
As that incredibly profound feeling rushed up to his head, Zhang Che felt that familiar suction from the light membrane, drawing him in violently.
After his prior experience, Zhang Che naturally didn’t resist.
——
In the next moment, he suddenly vanished from above the light membrane. It was like he had arrived at a formless, chaotic dimension. His surroundings were filled with intersecting black and white air currents, making it difficult for him to even move a muscle.
-What’s going on? Where is this place?- Zhang Che was shocked. He hurriedly called upon his babies in his spiritual sea, wanting to summon the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to protect him.
However, what happened next thoroughly frightened him.
No matter how hard he tried to summon them, the beast cards and balls of light in his spiritual sea showed no response at all, as if there was an unknown energy in this chaotic dimension forcibly interrupting his spiritual link to his babies in his spiritual sea.
Cold sweat poured out from Zhang Che’s skin. He tried to move his limbs, but he discovered that the chaotic air flow around him was like sticky mud, restricting him. Despite using all his strength, the best he could do was make minute movements.
He was thoroughly stunned, not understanding what kind of place he was at. In the end, he thought of the scarlet sword and tried to summon it. Alas, there was no response from it, either!
“What should I do? Am I completely trapped in here to die?”
Zhang Che’s face was pale. His brain worked at maximum capacity, trying to think of a way to get himself out of this situation.
He opened his eyes, looking around earnestly, wanting to find the light membrane that had just drawn him in. However, there was nothing in his sight other than those intersecting black and white chaotic air currents.
Just as he was losing hope, the rainbow crystal in his mind started to tremble slightly.
In the next moment, the rainbow crystal directly flew out of Zhang Che’s spiritual sea and went off to the depths of this chaotic dimension.
“This time I’m dead for sure!”
Zhang Che’s face was ashen. Even the rainbow crystal had abandoned him; he could only wait for his death now…
In the next moment, the surrounding chaotic air currents seemed to bend slightly, sweeping Zhang Che forward in the direction the rainbow crystal had flown.
Zhang Che wasn’t just shocked, but elated!
As long as there were changes, it proved that there was still a chance for him to leave, and not be trapped in these thick, chaotic winds.
The surrounding chaotic air currents flowed faster and faster. As a result, Zhang Che was also picking up speed, being swept forward faster and faster.
Not only that, the density of these chaotic air currents was also falling quickly.
Suddenly, a rainbow radiance shone brightly ahead, directly penetrating the chaotic air currents that had thinned by more than half.
He saw the rainbow crystal hovering silently in the air of this dimension. Under it was a single black and white-colored ball of light, closely linked to the rainbow crystal through a tunnel.
The rainbow crystal seemed to be absorbing the energy contained in the black and white ball of light!
“What is that ball of light? It actually made the rainbow crystal fly out of my spiritual sea to absorb its energy! It’s definitely no ordinary object!”
As the mixed ball of light’s energy was madly drawn in by the rainbow crystal, the surrounding winds were also quickly thinning. In the end, only a thin layer of fog was left.
After an indeterminate amount of time, after the chaotic winds had completely disappeared and left only a pitch black space, a light shattering sound suddenly rang out in front of him.
The ball of light emitting black and white rays instantly dimmed and broke like smashed glass.
The surrounding black space trembled violently, making Zhang Che almost lose his balance and fall upside down.
