The old man stared in utter horror at Fang Xian, who could obliterate everything with a mere wave of his hand.
Such power, capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of the wrist, was something even their strongest member, Li Cangsu, couldn't achieve. Yet this young man, barely in his early twenties, could do it?
What kind of monster's world had their Illusionary Feather World chosen as its opponent?
He took a deep breath, forcing back his trembling voice, and spoke in a low voice.
"May I ask, young friend, are all those of us who went to the Great Thousand World... already…?"
Fang Xian smiled slightly, answering directly.
"No doubt about it, they're all dead."
Upon hearing this, the old man was struck dumb, nearly collapsing.
Although he had been somewhat prepared, hearing Fang Xian's affirmative answer was still hard to accept.
But the facts were undeniable, and he was powerless to change them.
The old man sighed softly and took out a scroll gleaming with white light from his "storage bag," tossing it to Fang Xian.
Fang Xian, unfazed by any tricks the old man might play in the scroll, simply caught it and opened it.
The scroll contained a map with coordinates and four large characters written on it:
—The Origin of the World.
The old man's voice trembled slightly as he bowed to Fang Xian.
"Young friend, I have presented the 'Origin of the World' with both hands. I hope you will not commit too much bloodshed and will spare a small portion of the population of the Illusionary Feather World."
Fang Xian carefully put away the scroll. He appreciated the old man's magnanimity.
"Then thank you, senior. As for how many people to kill, that depends on the fate of the Illusionary Feather World."
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but if someone was rushing to their death, he wouldn't show mercy.
After speaking, Fang Xian immediately flew away, heading towards his destination.
He encountered no obstacles along the way; presumably, most powerful people had remained in the Great Thousand World.
The scenery of the Illusionary Feather World was quite beautiful, with lush greenery everywhere.
The architecture was also antique and charming.
According to the rules of the "Extraterrestrial War," the war between the two worlds would last for one year. If the "World Origin" of the enemy world could not be seized within a year, the war would end in a draw.
At that time, the vortex connecting the two worlds would disappear, and neither side would be able to travel freely.
Similarly, obtaining the enemy's "World Origin" would declare victory, and the vortex connecting the two worlds would also disappear.
Although it had only been two months since the war began, and there was still plenty of time to explore this world, Fang Xian didn't want to waste time. He needed to return the "World Origin" to strengthen the Great Thousand World as soon as possible.
Furthermore, he also wanted to go with Lucifer to the "Temple" that had given her twelve wings to investigate.
Perhaps they could obtain even more powerful energy there.
Meanwhile, he had almost collected all the "Golden Skill Books." With a little persuasion, the various families would naturally offer up their "Golden Skill Books," allowing him to unlock
—a red skill.
Therefore, instead of spending time studying the intricacies of the Illusionary Feather World, it's better to quickly master everything familiar and raise his combat strength to better prepare for the upcoming war.
After flying for several hours, he finally arrived at the location marked on the scroll.
It was an extremely dangerous volcano.
The mountain was deep black, with jagged, sharp rocks.
Thick smoke continuously spewed from the crater, rising into the sky and forming leaden-gray clouds.
Magma surged within the crater, erupting into lava fountains. Orange-red lava, like winding fiery serpents, surged down the mountain's ravines.
Wherever it went, everything was devoured, melted, and scorched.
The air around the volcano was scorching, distorted, and pungent, deterring birds and beasts, creating a deathly still place.
Fang Xian was unfazed by this harsh environment; with his strength, bathing in lava was a piece of cake.
According to the scroll, the "Origin of the World" lay deep within the volcano.
He flew downwards, when suddenly the earth began to tremble violently, and the volcano erupted.
Scorching rocks were hurled high into the air like cannonballs, raining down on Fang Xian.
Fang Xian's eyes narrowed; this was clearly aimed at him.
It seemed the "Origin of the World" wouldn't be so easily obtained by him.
He flicked his finger, and "Chaotic Power" formed a transparent circular protective shield, enveloping him within.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Huge firestones slammed into the protective shield repeatedly, shattering it completely, utterly unable to affect it.
"Still dare to resist? Then shatter!"
Fang Xian drew the "Xuanyuan Sword" and used the skill "Heaven and Earth Sword" against the volcano.
With a single swing, a sword beam shot forth, like a rainbow piercing the sun.
The sword beam carried a world-destroying momentum, its invincible power directly striking the wildly erupting volcano.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar resounded as the volcano was forcefully cleaved in two by the sword beam.
Lava erupted like a runaway torrent from both sides, but under the residual sword energy, it splashed to the sides, transforming into fiery red arcs.
The remaining half of the volcano teetered precariously under the residual force of the sword beam; boulders tumbled down, crashing into the lava and sending up even higher waves of fire.
"Hey buddy, can't you be a little gentler?"
A soft, delicate voice, yet playful and lively, rang out.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a graceful woman slowly emerge from the depths of the volcano.
Her long, flowing hair, shimmering with a pale blue light, cascaded casually over her rounded shoulders and slender waist.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyes a deep blue, their captivating gaze naturally alluring, capable of bewitching the soul with a single glance.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on her slightly upturned lips, exuding mystery and charm.
Her skin was as white as snow, appearing even more delicate against the backdrop of her fiery red gauze dress.
A sheer robe draped lightly, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure. Her full breasts, slender waist, and long legs were faintly visible, exuding an irresistible charm and a dangerous aura.
"Young man, such a fiery temper isn't good for your health."
Fang Xian, gazing at the alluring and stunningly beautiful woman, directly used "Eye of Insight" on her.
[Name: Yan Lingji
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: 95
Figure: 95
Height: 170
Character: Impeccable
Affection: 0]
Fang Xian frowned slightly. It seemed that in a different world, the effectiveness of "Eye of Insight" was limited.
Yan Lingji's presence here was likely the last line of defense protecting the "Origin of the World."
At only 21 years old, she's already been entrusted with such an important task; it seems Yanling Princess is not as simple as she appears.
Since she's not simple, and meets the contract conditions, why not take her in?
