When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 136 Heavenly King's Interception

Below the Dada Sky Canopy, everyone stopped.

Zhu Chongjiu turned to look at the little Lei with a serious expression and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

If you come with me this time, not only do I not know what the future holds, but I also don't know when I'll be able to return!

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's question, Xiao Lei immediately stood still. "I've made up my mind. I want to follow Brother Jiu, Brother Hei, Brother Xiong, Brother Jin, Brother Mu... and explore the heavens together. I'm not afraid of any danger!"

Seeing Xiao Lei's determined expression, Zhu Chongjiu said in a deep voice, "Alright! All elemental spirits return to their places."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elemental spirits, according to their respective positions, possessed Zhu Chongjiu's physical body.

Just as Xiao Lei's power rushed towards Zhu Chongjiu's palm, he glanced back at the sky above, and two tears welled up in his eyes.

How could it be that Xiao Lei has no feelings for the Heavenly Dao?

It's just unknown how Heaven convinced the Thunder Element Spirit, which it had painstakingly nurtured, to leave this world and follow a stranger.

After all the elemental spirits had possessed him, Zhu Chongjiu looked at Xiao Hei and Xiong Da and said, "I'm going to put you two into my storage ring. I don't have complete confidence in dealing with that enemy outside the sky."

Seeing that Xiao Hei and Xiong Da were about to say something anxiously, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand to interrupt them and continued, "With your current strength, fighting alongside me against a Heavenly King-level expert would be a burden to me. Without you, I can perform even more freely."

However, Little Black, I will tell you a mantra. If I haven't released you by now, use this mantra to open the storage ring yourself.

Seeing Xiao Hei's face covered in tears, Zhu Chongjiu's expression softened, and he smiled slightly, "Xiao Hei, you weren't the first person I met, but you've been with me the longest. Don't you know your Ninth Brother's abilities?"

Every single time, wasn't it a close call that turned danger into safety?

"You little king can't do anything to me, and even your Ninth Brother has his trump cards."

After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he reached out and patted Xiao Hei's forehead.

Big Bear, if anything really happens to me, from now on you'll all follow Little Black's arrangements, understand?

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu speak to him, Xiong Da, already somewhat sorrowful, did not answer Zhu Chongjiu's question. Instead, he muttered softly, "Why can those six little ones fight alongside Ninth Brother, while we have to hide in our storage rings?"

As soon as Xiong Da finished speaking, Xiao Hei bumped into Xiong Da with his body.

Xiong Da glanced at Xiao Hei, his emotions running high, and he even sounded a little tearful as he said, "Isn't that right? Although I can't help Ninth Brother, if there's a real life-or-death crisis, I can still shield him."

I had previously heard that Ninth Brother's old friend, Duke Wang, had taken a fatal blow for him; otherwise, Ninth Brother might have perished. If the same thing were to happen again, I could do the same for him.

Upon hearing Xiong Da's words, Zhu Chongjiu's eyes reddened. He went up to Xiong Da, hugged the furry body, and gently patted it, thinking to himself, "What have I, Zhu Chongjiu, done to deserve so many friends who would follow me through thick and thin since I came to this strange world?"

Zhu Chongjiu, who was holding back his tears, released his embrace from Xiong Da and pretended to be angry, saying, "Stop dawdling, are you going to listen to your Ninth Brother or not?"

Those six little creatures possessing my body can increase my speed, strength, and defense several times over.

"Do as I say, everyone come in now."

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu extended his hand, which contained the storage ring, and forcibly took Xiao Hei and Xiong Da inside, ignoring their cries. Once Xiao Hei and Xiong Da were inside the storage ring, Zhu Chongjiu used the incantation to open it from the inside.

After doing all this, Zhu Chongjiu looked up at the sky and said, "Heavenly Dao, you may leave now."

Are you really ready?

Everything that needed to be done has been done, and everything is ready.

After receiving Zhu Chongjiu's accurate reply, the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out once again, "Do not resist, relax your mind!" Zhu Chongjiu felt his vision go black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already outside the sky.

Zhu Chongjiu looked down at the layer of white clouds below, which resembled an inverted bowl in the void of the universe.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was looking at the world he had lived in for over two hundred years, the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang in his mind: "Stop looking. That Heavenly King has already discovered the anomaly in this celestial canopy. If you stand there and don't move, in a few seconds, that Heavenly King will be standing in front of you. Hurry up and go into the depths of the cosmic void."

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Zhu Chongjiu immediately became alert and, without discerning any direction, flew directly towards the depths of the cosmic void ahead at his fastest speed.

As Zhu Chongjiu flew deeper into the void of space, he admired the scenery of the cosmos.

Existence and non-existence are the origin, naturally shaping heaven and earth. The void flows with spiritual light, giving rise to countless stars. Comprehending the Milky Way's path, sensing the changes in existence. Vastness transforms all things, bestowing upon them rules. The universe is boundless and eternal, infinitely encompassing all. The cosmos is endless and ever-moving, infinitely filling space.

"I really haven't lived up to the name of the universe," Zhu Chongjiu sighed, sensing some subtle fluctuations behind him with his divine sense.

Such subtle fluctuations would normally be insignificant in everyday life, but they appear rather abrupt in this vast and desolate void.

Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "They caught up in just over ten seconds?"

The difference is two vast realms; they are truly incomparable.

"Sigh!" Zhu Chongjiu sighed.

"We still have to run, we can't just sit here and wait to die, becoming lambs to the slaughter, can we?"

After sighing, Zhu Chongjiu said sternly to himself, "I still underestimated it. In that case, I'll try the Void Law."

Do you think I wasted my time cultivating in the void? Did you think the Seed of Nothingness just stayed in my mind for nothing?

After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu's aura changed, and his body slowly turned into nothingness. When he reappeared, he was already tens of thousands of miles away.

Ok?

Did they spot me?

Little guy, your senses are quite sharp. But what kind of magic is this? How can you make your aura disappear instantly and reappear tens of thousands of miles away?

Could it be some kind of supreme immortal technique? Otherwise, it would be impossible for a celestial official to leap thousands of miles in one leap.

However, now that you've found me, I'm not playing with you anymore. You can't escape my grasp.

After muttering to itself, the humanoid figure following behind Zhu Chongjiu suddenly surged in power, its form transforming into a streak of light that vanished in a flash, chasing after Zhu Chongjiu.

Three months later, the humanoid figure of light and shadow became even more certain of his guess and even began to fantasize about whether he could travel tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles a month if he mastered this immortal technique. At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu felt that if he continued at his current speed, the Heavenly King would catch up with him in less than ten days.

Zhu Chongjiu used the Void Law to fly towards the nearest light source. Although the spiritual energy in the void was chaotic, the six little ones attached to his body filtered the chaotic spiritual energy for his own use. Even later, when Zhu Chongjiu's own absorption could not keep up with the consumption of flying, these six little ones continued to provide him with their own source energy.

Even so, after three months of continuous flying, Zhu Chongjiu felt as if he were standing still, making no progress at all.

After a three-month chase, this Heavenly King-level expert was furious. He stopped and, sensing that the person in front of him was still fleeing at an incredible speed, he said in a low voice, "I won't bother with you anymore. I'm going to catch you and see how you manage to have such a huge amount of spiritual power to support your escape for so long."

After saying that, the Heavenly King-level expert raised his right hand, and a boat-shaped object slowly appeared in his palm.

When the boat-shaped object appeared, the Heavenly King-level expert tossed it into the void while chanting an incantation. As the incantation ended, the boat-shaped object instantly magnified a hundredfold.

The powerful Heavenly King leaped onto the ship and stood inside. He then took out a crystal of unknown origin and threw it into the groove at the front of the flying boat.

The moment the crystal entered the groove at the front of the boat, the entire vessel was immediately enveloped by a transparent light shield, and then it disappeared from the spot.

The moment the boat disappeared, Zhu Chongjiu, who was using the Void Law to fly, was startled and the hairs on his body stood on end.

The body that was moving forward also stopped in the void.

After Zhu Chongjiu stopped, the first thing he did was to put all six little ones into his storage ring.

After doing all this, he quickly placed his hands together in a sword-finger gesture on his temples.

Just then, the space in front of Zhu Chongjiu seemed to be torn apart, and a boat about six or seven zhang in size appeared, its entire body wrapped in a transparent light shield.

Once the ship had completely emerged from the space in front of Zhu Chongjiu and stabilized itself, the light barrier receded, revealing the face of the luminous humanoid figure.
