Tianyuan Town.
"What a wondrous power."
A flawless body erged from the petal-filled dicinal bath.
Sparks of electric arcs flickered briefly at his fingertips.
The power of Spirit, demon, human.
The three forces converged within this body, rging together.
But...
Vaguely, Lord Lan still felt that sothing was missing within him.
Just a tiny bit, an indescribable sothing.
"Is it my paranoia... That subtle flaw, like a thorn in the heart, impossible to remove."
Lord Lan had theorized and practiced to this point; he didn't think he had missed anything.
This was already the best result of rging the powers of humans, demons, and Spirits.
"What's left is to carve out a new world."
Lord Lan rubbed his fingertips, rging the three forces; this power could slightly break through the cage-like world's barrier!
The cage will eventually be broken!
And now all he needs is to keep accumulating power, recovering from injuries, and conducting so simple explorations of that unfamiliar world he sensed.
Silently closing his eyes, he let the fusion of the three forces, enough to breakthrough the cage's shackles and slice through space, gradually settle, accumulate, guide...
Slowly, a faint, electric current weak as a spark drifted from Lord Lan's fingertips, searching for nearby Spirit Paths, partially vanishing into transparency in mid-air.
And with a sizzling sound, it perated the Spirit Path, using it as a stepping stone to spread to the outer spaces!
This was a clever thod Lord Lan had found.
By synchronizing, resonating with the Spirit Path, so route patterns appeared faintly visible.
Lord Lan could feel that the mont he penetrated the Spirit Path, imnse malice was released by the nearby Spirits or powerful Spirits upon sensing him.
But Lord Lan didn't care.
If you do not yield, then co face !
Continue to penetrate and spread!
Soon, Lord Lan sensed it.
That entirely new, unknown world, apart from the prison-like place!
Very vague, very subtle, yet... very vibrant, full of Vitality!
Penetrate through!
Buzz!!
With great difficulty, he broke through the barrier, and once again, through this power, Lord Lan sensed that new world.
"Where did the demons I sent in shrouded by my power before go?"
Yes, this wasn't Lord Lan's first ti entering this world.
Previously, he only perford so quick acts and had to retreat temporarily due to lack of power.
Now, it's a coback.
Feeling where the demon was, Lord Lan soon found that the demon's aura had disappeared.
"Did it die..."
Lord Lan pondered.
Although he had opened this rift, allowing creatures from their world a chance to pass into another.
But this smuggling-like process required him to expend a lot of power to maintain the spatial rift's existence.
Transmitting living creatures was even more arduous.
His injuries have yet to fully recover, largely because he exhausted much of his power on this endeavor.
Yet, there were gains as well.
The demons previously enveloped with power and transported to the new world rapidly declined in both physical abilities and demonic power once they arrived and lost the protection of the three powers, as if unable to adapt to that world's environnt, overall weakening.
"Was it detected by the invisible will of the world? Like an invisible chain trying to drag back the escaped prisoners... or simply not accustod to the environnt?"
Lord Lan didn't know; there was still too much unknown about that world.
But being able to explore a new world, having the opportunity to leave the prison-like place, undoubtedly showed that his direction was correct!
It was unfortunate he had only gained this power recently, needing more ti to settle and continue growing.
Thus, the rift he opened could only accommodate extrely weak demons to pass through, and without continuously using power to maintain it, the rift would quickly close.
The inherently weak demons, shrouded in protection, almost lost half their life passing through the rift, and upon landing in the new world, their entire faculties rapidly declined, not dropping dead imdiately was already fortunate.
After doing all this, Lord Lan could only quickly disperse his power to avoid overexerting and damaging his foundation.
And now upon probing again, indeed, he couldn't locate the trace of that weak demon anymore.
Perhaps, it might have regressed into a mindless beast, annihilated by that world's existence.
"Take it slow."
"Having acquired this body, having gained this power, I no longer need to rush."
Lord Lan withdrew the probing power from that world, retreating from the Spirit Path, as fatigue instantly washed over him.
Even bathing in the dicinal bath couldn't alleviate this sense of fatigue.
"Given my current form, being unable to freely wield this power, it's not hard to imagine how terrifyingly formidable this power would be in combat!"
Closing his eyes, just preparing to rest for a mont, crisp footsteps suddenly echoed outside, approaching step by step.
Lord Lan opened his eyes.
In the entire Demon City, only four demons could enter this place without any obstruction easily.
