Fang Lin Kong silently calculated his position. After passing through the habitat of the Unicorn Dragon, he realized he was lost. And if it were just a simple case of being lost, it wouldn't be difficult for this young master. However, after exhausting all the spells he knew, Fang Lin Kong was horrified to discover that he had encountered the legendary Two-Dimensional Space Maze.
Throughout history and across cultures, mazes have been excellent treasure troves. The Greek legend of the Golden Fleece and China's Gaochang Maze are classic examples. But if someone were to get lost and somehow walk from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, or stroll for just a few minutes from Caishikou in Beijing to Seattle in the United States—that is the essence of the Two-Dimensional Space Maze.
People who frequently disappear without a trace are often sent to unknown places by the Two-Dimensional Space Maze.
As Fang Lin Kong confirmed his predicament, a chill ran down his spine, and he stopped in his tracks.
He was not unaware of the dangers of the Two-Dimensional Space Maze, but within his knowledge, there was no way to break free from this devilish predicament. Perhaps other seasoned practitioners or advanced monsters might have some means to escape, but as a standard novice practitioner, Fang Lin Kong only knew one way to leave the Two-Dimensional Space Maze: to break through Divine Extremity!
"Don't joke with me! Asking me to comprehend Divine Extremity right now is like asking me to swallow that White Dragon and enjoy it with the magical beast I am about to visit!"
Perhaps one day Fang Lin Kong would achieve a breakthrough in Divine Extremity, but it would certainly not be in such a short time while lost. To unravel the mystery of Divine Extremity and step into the realm of time and space required not only unparalleled cultivation but also profound wisdom that penetrated the universe, along with an inexplicable moment of enlightenment and opportunities even gods could not foresee. Given his current circumstances, even if he were to meditate for ten thousand years, he would not find the path leading to this pinnacle of cultivation.
Fang Lin Kong found himself in a sparse forest, but according to the speed of his White Dragon Deer, he should have crossed this area within ten minutes. Now, after urging the White Dragon Deer for over an hour, it was clear that something strange was going on in this forest.
Fang Lin Kong reined in the White Dragon Deer and leaped down. He casually sealed the White Dragon Deer into his Divine Weapon using the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade.
"The only thing I can do now is take a risk and see if something can be drawn out with force!"
Getting lost in a two-dimensional space can occur naturally or be caused by certain deliberate forces. Since Fang Lin Kong knew there was a life form here comparable to Divine Demons, it was evident how this two-dimensional space maze had come into existence.
"Perhaps my destruction can draw out the master of this Two-Dimensional Space Maze!"
With this thought in mind, Fang Lin Kong channeled all his spiritual energy into the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade.
"Let's see what power this treasure gifted by the Divine Beast White Dragon truly possesses!"
The Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade shone brilliantly in Fang Lin Kong's hand. With a clear ringing sound, it shot into the sky. A dazzling red light shaped like a half-sun suddenly expanded dozens or even hundreds of times, releasing an overwhelming pressure that spread outwards. Before the Divine Weapon could unleash its full power, this natural spiritual pressure had already caused nearby trees to snap and crumble. Fang Lin Kong felt a surge of joy as he utilized his self-understood Spiritual Awareness and Plant Control; the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade slowly emitted spiritual pressure, enhancing its power.
To Fang Lin Kong's surprise, as the power of the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade increased, it seemed to release him from that confined space he had felt earlier. His mental energy subtly began to break free from the constraints of this two-dimensional maze.
"The Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade actually has such benefits?"
Fang Lin Kong discovered that the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade gifted by the Divine Beast White Dragon contained hidden spatial attributes, leaving him both surprised and delighted. Although his abilities were not yet sufficient to fully utilize such a Celestial Artifact, at least escaping this Two-Dimensional Space Maze was no longer a problem.
Fang Lin Kong's spiritual energy had not recovered much, and the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade required immense power to wield effectively. He could only maintain it for a brief moment before feeling his strength waning. Realizing he couldn't delay any longer, he quickly shifted his focus from unleashing a full-powered strike with the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade to finding a way to escape.
As he reached up to touch his eyes, the scenery before him suddenly transformed. The once visible ground and trees vanished, replaced by an endless void. Vaguely, a dark passage resembling an abyss appeared in front of him. Using his heavenly sight, Fang Lin Kong discerned the exit and hurriedly activated the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, channeling his last bit of strength to propel himself through a Teleportation.
The passage within the two-dimensional space shifted rapidly. Just as Fang Lin Kong barely made it through, the exit vanished swiftly behind him.
Feeling a chilling wind pressing from behind, Fang Lin Kong maneuvered the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, managing to regain enough strength to fly with it. This blade was a variant of a celestial sword, so basic applications were still feasible. However, after escaping the maze of two-dimensional space, no matter what method he employed, he could see or sense nothing around him. All he could perceive was endless darkness and infinite void... "Damn it! Where am I going to end up? Am I destined to wander in this Strange Space for eternity?"
He recalled how starving and dehydrated he felt while flying. A mere skeleton of himself wielding the crescent-shaped Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade sent shivers down his spine.
The Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade was astonishingly powerful; in an instant, it had propelled Fang Lin Kong thousands of miles away. He could only hear the rushing wind around him and feel the bone-chilling cold currents flowing past him, making him realize he had not escaped Earth's gravity but had entered the Cosmic Void. Yet even in the Cosmic Void, stars filled the sky; here, however, there was no light at all, deepening Fang Lin Kong's fear.
After what felt like an eternity in this disorienting space, Fang Lin Kong suddenly reflected: "The energy here is incredibly strange."
Gradually slowing down the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, Fang Lin Kong stood atop it and began analyzing the nature of this energy. If the energy concentration within Zero Boiling Point was ten, then here it must be one thousand or even ten thousand times denser. In just this short time, his internal spiritual energy had already doubled. Noticing this peculiarity, Fang Lin Kong summoned forth the power of the Silver Flame he had refined. Almost limitless energy surged into him as he entertained a daring thought.
This trial space was vastly different from the legendary spatial rifts. In the Eastern Immortal Path, energy could easily traverse spatial barriers; however, physical bodies faced tenfold or hundredfold difficulties crossing over—this was an established truth. Thus, cultivation in the Eastern Immortal Path involved condensing spiritual essence into Yuan Shen as preparation for future Ascension.
However, what was peculiar here was that physical bodies could move freely while ordinary materials faced no restrictions; yet external energies could not interact with those of this spatial rift. Fang Lin Kong had yet to analyze what made this energy so unique.
Still, he harbored a vague notion: "If I can accumulate enough power here to reach my level in the outside world, perhaps I can summon super artifacts like the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate from my Inner Universe and break through these spatial laws, allowing my original powers to return."
Given that the energy here was so abundant and he faced dire circumstances, Fang Lin Kong's impulsive nature led him to immediately put this uncertain idea into action.
After absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy, if his detector hadn't been damaged long ago, he would have seen his Spiritual Energy Index skyrocketing. Fang Lin Kong was audacious; others would never dare such recklessness. The immense energy surged into his body, causing his Giant Spirit Transformation—which he had previously struggled to control—to begin evolving spontaneously.
As the influx of energy exceeded his physical limits, Fang Lin Kong's body began to swell under the pressure of excess spiritual energy. The Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens required massive amounts of spiritual energy for cultivation and was not suited for modern practitioners. Ancient deities and celestial beasts lived long lives and could gradually gather such vast amounts of energy; however, since ancient humans began their decline in cultivation realms seeking rapid power acquisition through countless shortcuts, they ultimately established today's cultivation system.
Spells like Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens were powerful but required too much time for cultivation and were gradually lost to history.
Although Fang Lin Kong had absorbed energies from Gouli Heaven's Tome and demonic powers from Heavenly Demon's Abyss, these were merely drops in a bucket when it came to cultivating Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens—insufficient for significant progress.
Today, a sudden surge of energy coursed through Fang Lin Kong, and the Mystic Transformation of the Nine Heavens truly began to unleash its power.
Feeling the energy surging within him, Fang Lin Kong felt an overwhelming urge to release it. He racked his brain for a powerful spell or technique to break through the void with the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade. As long as he could connect even a tiny gap to the real world, Fang Lin Kong would be able to summon the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate. With these four treasures resonating with his Yuan Shen, Fang Lin Kong would have a much better chance of confronting the crisis.
"Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, go! Unleash the power of your celestial heritage! Cut through the void for me!"
Fang Lin Kong, whose size had increased tenfold, roared as he launched the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade. For this strike, he expended a massive amount of spiritual energy, and after releasing the blade, his form shrank by nearly a third. The ancient artifact of a celestial being indeed possessed astonishing and unpredictable powers. After slicing through the void ahead, a golden rift tore open. The fresh air from outside and familiar sights of Earth rushed past Fang Lin Kong's vision, filling the young man with ecstatic anticipation to escape.
However, luck was not on Fang Lin Kong's side this time. As he maneuvered through Teleportation and reached the space rift created by the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, a strange force swept over him, causing the passageway to vanish silently.
Fang Lin Kong watched helplessly as the portal closed before him, unable to do anything in time. Just as he was about to summon back the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade for another attempt, a faint light flickered in the distance, capturing all his attention.
As that beam of light appeared, faint thunder began to rumble in response. Accompanied by this piercing light cutting through the void, Fang Lin Kong strained his eyes and gradually discerned what lay within it, nearly jumping in shock.
The light shot toward Fang Lin Kong like a bolt of lightning. What initially seemed like a thin beam expanded rapidly; judging by distance, this radiance had at least several dozen kilometers in diameter, with an immeasurable length. Within this intense light were countless Divine Weapons and celestial generals, fierce beasts roaring and battling relentlessly.
Though curious, Fang Lin Kong dared not entertain any reckless thoughts at that moment. Seeing that the light was still far from him, he focused on urging the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade again, attempting to carve out an escape route. However, after exhausting all his strength for two or three hours without success in escaping this void before it vanished.
If it weren't for the endless spiritual energy here that replenished almost instantaneously with every thought, Fang Lin Kong would have been completely drained by now. As his hopes of escaping faded away, his strikes turned into mere venting of frustration. He gradually understood that unless he could refine himself to achieve unity with the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade, he would never escape in time.
Yet within these short two or three hours of abundant spiritual energy at his disposal, Fang Lin Kong began to grasp some subtleties in wielding power. The speed at which he regained spiritual energy increased; initially taking over ten minutes to recover became just a single breath's worth of effort. In his hands, the Heavenly Edge Reversal Blade shimmered brilliantly and grew increasingly powerful. What once required dozens of attempts to exhaust his energy now only took two strikes.
Although that beam of light approached rapidly, it was still several hundred thousand miles away from Fang Lin Kong. After ceasing his efforts, he stared blankly at the rolling radiance coming toward him and finally began to ponder where exactly he was.
According to White Dragon's account, he should have encountered that unknown beast by now. However, despite falling into this space inexplicably—though suspecting it might be due to that beast—there remained a voice within him questioning his judgment.
As the radiant light drew closer, Fang Lin Kong could finally see that it was composed of intertwining azure and golden hues. The azure light consisted of countless ferocious beasts and occasionally featured strange warriors resembling humans clad in beast armor riding fierce creatures—exhibiting strength far surpassing those beasts. In contrast, within the Golden Radiance were numerous figures adorned in elegant ancient armor; only a few rode celestial birds or spirit beasts into battle. Although these warriors bore human-like bodies with long limbs walking upright, their heads revealed features such as colorful feathers or horns sprouting from blue faces or resembling legendary bizarre creatures.
The two armies within the azure and golden lights fought fiercely against each other after every clash. Fang Lin Kong could not discern whether these strange beasts and beings were birthed from these two lights or if they were merely reflections of their respective warriors' brilliance forming these radiant streams.
Both sides appeared non-human yet distinctly unlike demons either; the brutality of their battle left even an outsider like Fang Lin Kong feeling shaken.
Occasionally, an azure beast would be sent flying out from the golden light by one of its warriors or vice versa; in an instant they would recover completely and rejoin the fray.
Fang Lin Kong recalled the extraordinary energy in this place and speculated that the otherworldly beasts of these two armies must possess astonishing recovery abilities. After watching for a moment, Fang Lin Kong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Any warrior from either side exhibited combat prowess far beyond his own. The spells they wielded were also remarkably intricate; Fang Lin Kong had not only never seen them before, but he had never even heard of them.
According to the radiant light formed by the two peculiar armies, it seemed that they would sweep past Fang Lin Kong at a distance of several hundred miles. For reasons unknown, he felt an inexplicable urge to move closer, wanting to observe more closely.
It seemed that there was a strange force within Fate influencing Fang Lin Kong's consciousness. In a daze, he heard an imposing voice say, "In the wilds of slaughter, with murderous intent thickening, it must be Azure God, riding the Dull Beast!"
Fang Lin Kong shivered and was about to ponder the source of this voice when an unknown immense force pushed him into the radiant light. He was alarmed and tried to escape, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not resist this boundless power.
When his vision cleared, he found himself within the Azure Glow, and he noticed that he was now clad in a massive, rough azure beast hide armor.
"What! What have I turned into?"
When Fang Lin Kong saw his hands—huge and robust, with muscles on his arms as hard as stone—he couldn't help but let out a furious roar towards the sky.
Suddenly!
A golden weapon resembling a great halberd slashed toward Fang Lin Kong's chest.
He didn't know when it happened, but the azure light twisted around him just as it collided with golden radiance. A warrior emerged from this clash, sporting colorful wings sprouting from his ribs and adorned with feathers that floated gracefully around his head. Clad in armor as beautiful as the glow itself, he extended a Divine Weapon toward Fang Lin Kong.
