Seeing that even with the Crimson Cloud pushed to its limit, he couldn't control his body and it was still being torn downwards, Wang Zheng had a thought and simply let go of control over his body.
Taking advantage of the situation, he moved like an arrow and plunged directly into the dark, bottomless abyss.
Using the downward force, Wang Zheng controlled the Crimson Cloud to descend rapidly, as fast as a shooting star.
This pitch-black abyss leads nowhere, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets, as if it can swallow all light.
At this point, even with the Holy Light spell on him, the visibility around Wang Zheng was no longer sufficient to see his full appearance.
This deathly darkness could add immense pressure to a person. Wang Zheng didn't know how long he had been walking in this pitch-black space, and he gradually began to get impatient.
However, as Wang Zheng went deeper into the space, he felt the space around him begin to change.
What was once a bottomless, pitch-black abyss began to light up as time passed.
Although these points of light were dim, they made Wang Zheng feel much more comfortable in this pitch-black abyss.
This scene filled Wang Zheng with joy. He immediately rallied his spirits and continued towards the place with more lights. No matter what lay ahead, it was better than being alone in this boundless darkness.
Finally, after Wang Zheng had been speeding for an unknown amount of time, the darkness ahead began to thin.
Guided by the flickering, faint light, Wang Zheng finally reached the bottom of the abyss and saw a huge altar engraved with countless patterns. The light emanated from these lines and seemed to be some kind of unknown magic array.
Looking at the faint light on the strange altar, Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he could finally leave this boundless darkness.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right? At the bottom of this empty abyss, there's nothing but this strange altar. You don't even need to think to know what it is.
Thinking that no matter what, things couldn't be worse than they were now, Wang Zheng didn't hesitate any longer, strode forward, and disappeared in an instant.
At that moment, Wang Zheng was unaware that the instant he stepped onto the altar, a long sigh echoed from the depths of the dark cave, after which the bottom of the endless abyss fell into a deathly silence.
......
"Where is this place?"
Wang Zheng emerged from the darkness and immediately spread his mental energy to be on guard.
Only after sensing that there were no living creatures around did it relax its vigilance and then carefully observe its surroundings.
Although he had a hunch that he had entered the ruins, he couldn't be sure because of the surrounding scenery.
At this moment, Wang Zheng sat upright on a cloud, and beneath him was a vast space that stretched as far as the eye could see.
After flying upwards on the crimson clouds for a while, they were stopped by an invisible barrier. At this point, they were already more than a hundred kilometers above the ground.
The ruins of the Heavenly Palace that we see in the passageway now, although they cover a considerable area, are not nearly as vast as this.
Moreover, this space is now a completely self-contained world, and it is nowhere near the scene of any ruins.
Looking into the distance, this space not only has continuous mountain ranges, vast grasslands, and winding rivers, but also dense forests.
If it weren't for the fact that even the satellite positioning equipment had no signal, Wang Zheng would have even suspected that he had been transported to some wilderness in mainland China.
What further convinced Wang Zheng that he had arrived in another dimension was the background above the barrier, which looked like a universe composed of endless stars.
The enormous golden sun emitted a dim glow, while countless stars were scattered overhead, clearly defined, as if trying to steal the show.
But beneath their feet, there was no sign of life, as if this space was a cold, desolate world, devoid of any living creatures.
Looking around, he still couldn't see the magnificent heavenly palace, which left Wang Zheng feeling somewhat disappointed.
But since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. At least it's much better than being chased by the Demon King.
After looking around, Wang Zheng didn't find any demon kings or human grandmasters. He then cautiously descended from the clouds and began exploring this unknown space...
Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, it is only barely on par with the entrance to the outside world. Wang Zheng guessed that it might be because they had not yet entered the central area of the ruins, so there would be some deviation.
However, if that's the case, then there can't possibly be any wild spiritual plants or fruits in the jungle.
Leaving aside any rare and precious materials, even the weeds on the ground seemed lifeless, and there was an awkward feeling that human intervention was not worthwhile.
Wang Zheng casually plucked a plant. Although its roots, stems, and leaves were all intact, he couldn't sense any vitality in it.
The dense jungle was deathly silent, devoid of any insect chirps or bird calls.
The trees, some hundreds of meters tall, showed no signs of life; when tapped, they produced dull, ringing sounds, as if they were not living things at all.
After passing through the dense forest, the stream in front of us was crystal clear and meandered all the way to the distant mountains.
But all the water flowed at this moment as if time and space had been frozen, and the water droplets were suspended in mid-air between the height differences.
There were no fish, shrimp, or other living creatures, not even a single aquatic plant or algae. It was as if one were in a still world within a painting, which gave one the creeps.
"So, perhaps I didn't actually enter the ruins, but rather accidentally stumbled into a sealed inner world within this space? It's like I absorbed that lightning and then used a back door?"
