Seven days later.
A massive airship swerved through layers of meteorites and turbulent currents, rapidly advancing into the depths of the desolate land.
The laws of the Desolate Land no longer exist, and there is no energy to absorb. Controlling the divine kingdom consumes too much energy, so people usually rely on external objects to travel here.
The airship that everyone is currently riding in is a modified product from the technology side.
"My lord, it is about 187 light-years away from the Phantom Sea. It will take 33 days to reach it by normal route."
The Black Cliff City Lord respectfully said, "There is a natural wormhole nearby. It only takes nine days to reach the vicinity of the Illusionary Spirit Sea through it. However, a large number of monsters whose sanity has been corrupted by the power of destruction have gathered outside the wormhole. They are very troublesome."
"Go through the wormhole."
Jiang Yan decided without hesitation, "Death God, those monsters are yours to deal with."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty." Death nodded slightly.
No one is better at cleaning up the small fry than him.
Seeing this, the Black Cliff City Lord stepped forward and clicked several times on the virtual control panel.
"Your route has been changed. It is estimated that you will arrive at your destination in 72 hours, 16 minutes and 43 seconds."
"Autopilot has been activated. For your personal safety, please do not leave the control room."
"Your spaceship is a bit old-fashioned; it's too slow."
Jiang Yan glanced at it and said indifferently, "Why not just warp over there?"
"My lord, the Desolate Lands lack precise positioning devices, so warp jumps can have errors of tens of thousands of kilometers. If you're unlucky, you might crash directly into a horde of monsters or turbulent currents."
The Lord of Black Cliff City smiled bitterly.
"It's alright, just send it. I'm quite confident in my luck."
"Uh... are you sure? This is the only spaceship I have left that can withstand the erosion of the power of destruction. If it breaks down, we'll have to fly over there."
The Black Cliff City Lord confirmed again.
"I'm sure... never mind, just in case, I'll give you some extra luck."
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and opened his divine kingdom, and a "Good Fortune Blessing" descended.
Then the hourglass resets, doubling the "good fortune"!
"Warp."
Jiang Yan, full of confidence, gave the order again.
If the plane still crashes after that, he'll accept it; he'll just fly over there anyway.
"good."
Seeing this, the Lord of Black Cliff City no longer hesitated and pressed a button on the control panel.
Suddenly, a violent tremor occurred, and the entire spaceship vanished from its spot.
A moment later.
Before a wormhole light-years away, a gigantic corpse drifted in from who-knows-where, and countless wandering monsters corrupted by the power of destruction rushed toward it in a frenzy.
A small blank space suddenly appeared in the originally densely packed void.
Just then, a flash of light appeared, and a massive spaceship appeared in the void.
"I was really lucky."
The Black Cliff City Lord glanced at the monster that had been lured away and couldn't help but smile. He pressed the engine and flew at full speed toward the wormhole.
At that moment, the loud roar of the engine attracted the attention of some of the monsters, who rushed over with strange cries.
"Just keep moving forward."
Death spoke calmly, a flicker of eerie fire in his eyes.
In an instant, the monsters that had surrounded them tripped over each other and fell down in droves, like wheat being harvested.
It could only watch helplessly as the spaceship disappeared into the wormhole, roared angrily a few times, and then wandered aimlessly in the air again.
...
On the other side, after passing through the wormhole, an even darker space came into view.
"So this is the inner area of the Ruin Land? It is indeed different from the outer area."
Jiang Yan extended his divine sense and discovered that this place was far more dilapidated and decayed than the outer areas, with his divine sense being suppressed to a range of less than 700,000 kilometers.
The creatures here are significantly more ferocious than those in the surrounding areas.
According to divine feedback, more than 300,000 kilometers to the west, two groups of ferocious beasts are engaged in a fierce battle. They seem to have completely lost their minds, and even with most of their bodies destroyed, they still cling tightly to their opponents.
More than 500,000 kilometers to the north, two humanoid beings started a big battle at the slightest disagreement.
South...
Within a mere 700,000 square kilometers, several places erupted in conflict... a stark contrast to the area near Black Wind Cliff.
This is indeed what the Land of Destruction should look like.
Whoosh!
Just as Jiang Yan was observing, a sharp whooshing sound rang out, and a fist shadow that seemed to come from nowhere crossed space.
"presumptuous!"
Ibilis flashed to the outside of the spaceship, his head suddenly expanding a thousandfold as he swallowed the fist shadow whole. Just as he was about to grab the attacker, he noticed a gigantic monster rushing towards him from afar.
It actually came over on its own!
"So bold..."
Iberis paused for a moment, then opened his mouth again and swallowed the pastry that had been offered to him.
He possessed the essence of the Abyss-Suppressing Beast, and although he couldn't devour everything and convert energy like the Zerg Overlord, he was more than capable of containing several great worlds.
"My lord, I forgot to tell you. The inner area of the Desolate Lands is not like the outer area. Here, you often encounter creatures that have completely lost their minds. They will attack everything within their perception range."
The "Black Cliff City Lord" shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the presence of several powerful individuals like you this time, I would usually bring at least 1 million Black Wind Guards with me when I go here. Besides, the Illusionary Spirit Sea is not a peaceful place. Although the people there haven't completely lost their minds, they basically fight at the slightest disagreement. Apart from a few confidants of the Illusionary Spirit Sea Master, everything is decided by strength."
"Whoever survives is right."
"Oh? That's not bad."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan was not surprised but rather pleased.
It's good to be unreasonable.
If they were all as sensible as the "Black Cliff City Lord," he wouldn't dare to take direct action. But since they're all unreasonable lunatics, things become much easier.
Frankly speaking, all the experts in the entire Land of Destruction combined wouldn't be enough to defeat Death alone. If it weren't for the limitations on divine sense here, and the constant erosion by the power of destruction, requiring a large number of local people to help search, it wouldn't be so troublesome; they could simply fight their way through.
"Hmm... powerful and irrational, which does fit the requirements of a desperate battle, but how to subdue these monsters is a problem."
"However, this matter is not urgent. The most important thing right now is to retrieve the fragments of the ancient Netherworld."
Jiang Yan shifted his gaze to the Black Cliff City Lord standing to the side.
He was redrawing the route and pressing the thrusters.
"Full speed ahead, target: Phantom Sea."
