Chapter 1170: Chapter 1166: The Hole in the Sky

Ye Tian tightly grasped the wooden sword carved from the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin with his left hand, and communicated earnestly with the Shu Xin within the wooden sword.

“Shu Xin, this might be my last chance. If I can’t find Elder Guo’s whereabouts, I’m afraid we’ll never have another chance to win against the Black Hole Clan!”

Seeing Ye Tian’s somewhat dejected words, Shu Xin immediately cheered him on!

“Don’t worry, kid, there’s always a way out. Even if the enemy before you is strong, as long as you don’t give up hope, there’s always a chance to win!”

“Alright then! Let’s try our luck now!”

Ye Tian nodded and immediately released the power of Wind Flow Strength from within him.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~~~”

The sharp sound of the wind at the peak of Phoenix Mountain was quickly absorbed by Ye Tian. Within him, a continuous surge of wind power lifted his spirits.

Soon, Ye Tian utilized the wind power to perform the technique of flying!

Even though his right arm couldn’t move, Ye Tian still skillfully executed the flying technique, and before long, he had flown to a great height.

This place gave Ye Tian a familiar feeling…

The last time he came here, he was with Tian Qi, who at the time couldn’t fly. So Ye Tian carried her, and later, he taught her how to fly in the air.

But now, Tian Qi was in grave danger because she protected Ye Tian’s wife. Thinking of this lovely girl made Ye Tian’s heart ache…

Nevertheless, things had come to this point, and Ye Tian couldn’t afford to be too sad. For his current self, avenging Tian Qi was the only thing he could do.

And in order to seek vengeance, he must immediately enhance his strength!

“Shu Xin, it’s time to begin!”

Ye Tian raised the wooden sword high in his hand and said aloud.

“No problem! Let’s get started!”

Shu Xin responded to Ye Tian with enthusiasm, then Ye Tian suddenly swung the wooden sword.

“Slash, slash, slash~~~~~~~~~~~~”

From the wooden sword, countless vacuous sword energies burst out, all containing powerful life force.

The strike Ye Tian delivered high in the sky seemed aimless, but it was also his only chance!

Perhaps he could really find some clues within…

Of course, searching for the elusive different space at the top of Phoenix Mountain was like finding a needle in a haystack; Ye Tian swung several strikes, and the vacuous sword energies vanished without a trace, achieving nothing.

After being injured, Ye Tian’s strength hadn’t fully recovered. Coupled with the thin air at high altitudes which made breathing difficult, his physical strength couldn’t last long.

After swinging several strikes, Ye Tian was panting heavily, even finding it hard to lift his hand.

“Kid, take a break and come back to it later!”

Shu Xin advised with concern, but Ye Tian shook his head.

“No, I cannot stop now because if I stop before my strength reaches its limit, the opportunities to try will be even fewer! Then, the probability of success will become very slim! For the future of the Martial Arts World, to defeat the masters of the Black Hole Clan, I cannot stop!”

Ye Tian said emphatically, his words full of determination, which moved the Shu Xin deeply…

“Kid, you’re something else! Despite being severely wounded, you’re indomitable. Don’t worry, even if you’re exhausted, I’ll silently support you from behind!”

As he spoke, the Shu Xin of the millennium ancient tree continuously injected life force into Ye Tian’s body. This power suddenly invigorated the weakened Ye Tian, and his left hand was filled with strength once again.

So Ye Tian swung the wooden sword heavily once more!

“Slash, slash, slash~~~~~~~~~~~~”

The technique used was naturally the one capable of tearing through different space. Searching for the ethereal different space without any evidence in the high sky was like looking for a grain of sand on the beach, yet Ye Tian did not give up and continued to swing the wooden sword fiercely.

The sword energies burst forth but achieved nothing, and the strength was wasted…

But after an unsuccessful strike, Ye Tian was not discouraged. He continued to swing the wooden sword fiercely!

Two strikes, three strikes, four strikes…

Although Ye Tian’s strength is formidable, he cannot withstand such depletion. After all, using the technique to cut through Different Space requires not only immense power but also strong spiritual power!

“Whew!”, “Whew!”, “Whew!”, “Whew!”…

At this moment, Ye Tian is panting heavily. Not only his own strength, but even the power of life absorbed from the wooden knife is nearly exhausted.

“Kid, you’ve searched such a vast sky. The sky is much broader than the ground. If the ground is a plane, the sky is three-dimensional. Finding anything like Different Space in such an expanse isn’t easy!

So, let’s take a little rest. Once our physical strength recovers, searching for the traces of Different Space in such high altitudes won’t be too late!”

The wooden knife once again advised Ye Tian, but Ye Tian still shook his head.

“Precisely because the sky is so vast, we can’t rest! In the sky, there’s no way to mark the areas we’ve searched. If we rest and then fly back up, I’m afraid we’ll forget the places we’ve already looked! This time, even if it exhausts me, I must persist!”

Ye Tian said heavily, and only then did Shu Xin realize that in high altitudes, there’s no way to mark the places previously explored, meaning Ye Tian has no other choice but to persevere.

“Alright! Let’s try again!”

The wooden knife said resolutely, while Ye Tian nodded, then used the last of his strength and swung fiercely!

“Swish swish swish swish swish swish~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

From the wooden knife, countless vacuum blades burst forth once more. Amongst the blades, there was a force powerful enough to tear apart Different Space.

Ye Tian originally thought this strike would be like before, sinking without a trace. Surprisingly, the force of this swing erupted with a violent sound!

“Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~~~”

In the air, something seemed to have violently collided with the force from the wooden knife and was shattered by it!

For a moment, dust filled the air, obscuring Ye Tian’s vision.

Ye Tian rejoiced in his heart, saying, “It seems we’ve finally succeeded. I’m very familiar with the sound of this explosion; it’s the sound of vacuum blades colliding with Different Space!”

For Ye Tian, who had mastered the method of cutting space, he was more than familiar with the sound of Different Space exploding. Back when he sliced through Peng Luos’ Different Space, it made just such a sound.

“Perseverance pays off, kid, we’ve finally succeeded!”

The millennium ancient tree’s heart also expressed satisfaction. Ye Tian remained suspended in the high altitude, quietly waiting for the dust to settle…

After a while, the dust finally dispersed, and Ye Tian was finally able to see what lay before him!

To his surprise, a hole had actually appeared in front of him!

The hole was not large—just enough for one person to pass through. In the ten-thousand-meter-high sky, a hole had mysteriously appeared. There was no other explanation besides Different Space!

Ye Tian cautiously entered the hole. However, the hole seemed deep, so Ye Tian didn’t rashly venture too deep. Instead, he sat down at the entrance. Though in the high altitude, sitting at the entrance felt no different than sitting on the ground.

At this moment, Ye Tian didn’t care what material the place he sat was made of, as long as it provided a place for him to rest.

After all, finding and tearing apart the location of this Different Space was a task that exhausted him. Staying in mid-air using the Method of Flying and focusing on unleashing the vacuum blades to tear Different Space was an immense drain on his stamina…

More importantly, Ye Tian had not yet recovered from his severe injuries, and his right hand was unable to exert force; wielding the knife with only his left hand was even more taxing on his strength!

Suspended in the high altitude, overlooking everything below, he used this opportunity to regulate his strength, which had a particularly unique flavor…

Ye Tian invoked the Silent Qi of the Nether God, carefully regulating himself. It took over three hours to slowly recover his spirits. With that, Ye Tian gained the energy to explore deeper into this high-altitude hole.

“What exactly is in there? It’s really quite exciting!”

Ye Tian felt a surge of excitement in his heart, which was only natural. After all, when he was a child, when Master Guo parted with him, he told him to seek him in high places.

Last time, after Ye Tian was seriously injured, the brothers from Night King Hall saw Master Guo vanish at the very high peak of Phoenix Mountain. So, Ye Tian held great hope of finding clues about Master Guo in this high-altitude cave!

Thus, Ye Tian perked up and proceeded deeper into the cave…

Initially, the cave could only allow one person through, but as he ventured deeper, the cave became wider. After walking several dozen meters, Ye Tian suddenly had a sense of openness; just by visual estimation, the cave’s height was well over ten meters.

The entire cave could easily accommodate a spacious football field…

However, although the cave was vast, there was nothing at all inside, only a vast stretch of white, giving a chilling feeling… Therefore, Ye Tian did not dare to be careless. He cautiously advanced, employing his clairvoyant ability…

But his clairvoyant ability, in this mysterious high-altitude cave, seemed unable to see anything?
