Against The Heavens

Li Yang had traveled through s.p.a.ce countless times already, both in this life and in his past life. But most of those trips would only take a second or less, only once the teleportation had to exceed the length of a galaxy would it slowly start to take longer to reach their destination. The longest teleportation he once engaged in was from the northern edge of the universe to the very center of it, the teleportation took about ten seconds back then.

The problem he was facing right now was that he had already spent an entire minute being dragged through s.p.a.ce like this. An entire minute of moving through s.p.a.ce, just how far away had the strange Lin Qiu sent him, and would he end up in the same place as the others?

But what Li Yang didn"t know was just how long Lin Qiu had been sealed in the Ocean G.o.d"s Graveyard, he was first sealed there many years before the continent that the graveyard was located on even reached their universe. But Lin Qiu didn"t know that the Ocean G.o.d"s Graveyard had relocated since then, so when he sent Li Yang and the others away he simply sent them to a random location he thought of that should be a short distance away from the original location of the Ocean G.o.d"s Graveyard.

The invisible tentacles continued to drag Li Yang away for almost a full half-hour, an amount of time he once thought was impossible for spatial movement. The dull gray world around Li Yang suddenly brightened up after the half-hour pa.s.sed, the sound of rushing wind entering his ears as he finally got to taste fresh air again. But before he got to savor the sensation, he felt himself slam into the ground. Dust and sand entered his open mouth and spinning eyes, forcing him to close his eyes while coughing to get rid of the dust.

He quickly got rid of the dust in his mouth, but he couldn"t yet open his eyes due to the fact that they were still spinning. Li Yang relaxed his body slightly after coughing out all the dust, letting out a short sigh before calling out for the others.

"Haah, I"m gonna hit him, I swear that I"m gonna hit him for this s.h.i.t. Oy, guys, raise your arms and say "present" if you"re alive!"

His first priority wasn"t to figure out where he was, it was to see if Fang Ying and Zhao Feng were there with him. If they were forced to split up again after just reuniting, Li Yang would most definitely give Lin Qiu several good smacks to make up for this grievance. Luckily, both Fang Ying and Zhao Feng quickly responded, Li Yang playing along with Zhao Feng a bit.

"I"m here, Langshen is with me too."

"What happens if I can"t raise my arm?"

"Then I"m sorry, but you"ll be considered dead."

"Great, see you down at the yellow springs river then, I"ll reserve you a good spot."

"Sorry, but as someone who"s actually died once, I can tell you that there is no yellow springs river waiting for us."

"Ah f.u.c.k, guess I got no choice but to go on then."

Li Yang"s body relaxed even further, practically leaning into the crater he undoubtedly created after crashing into the ground. As long as the lot of them were together then there was nothing to worry about, it wasn"t like this was the first time something strange or unexpected had happened to them. But just as the thought entered Li Yang"s mind, his eyes opened wide as he sat up, quickly rubbing his eyes to get rid of the last bits of dust and to dispel the dizzying spinning.

"Little Red, Little Blue?"

Li Yang"s eyes slowly regained their vision, allowing him to see that they had arrived on a vast and almost barren plain, the earth rather dry and brittle, with large cracks spreading out in several places. To the east there were some tall mountains that were so gnarly that they almost resembled bark, in the south he could just barely spot aged and dried up ruins of an old city, and to the west and north there was nothing but more plain vanishing into the horizon.

His expression twisted slightly when he saw the situation around him. He could see Fang Ying and Zhao Feng around him, both of them sitting in small craters they had created in the earth. But Fang Xiulan and Fang Yazhu were nowhere to be seen around them, neither was Tian Zheng for that matter. Had the three of them been sent to a different place or had Lin Qiu not even sent them away to begin with? Li Yang couldn"t help but rub his temples, muttering quietly while Fang Ying tried to ease his worries.

"That motherf.u.c.ker, I swear I"m gonna kick his a.s.s."

"Don"t worry, the two of them are far stronger than us, they"ll have no problems no matter where they go. As for Tian Zheng, he"s loaded with treasures he got from the clan so he shouldn"t have too much problem with handling things on his own."

Li Yang stopped rubbing his temples, quietly rolling his eyes at the unnecessary addition that Fang Ying placed into her sentence. He also didn"t stop worrying despite her words, he had raised the two twins from young girls to splendid teens, worrying about them had already become second nature to him, a nature that was only reignited by meeting them again. Fang Ying was far too familiar with Li Yang"s nature so she decided that the best course of action was to change the subject.

"We should focus on finding out where we have ended up. Both the Qi and s.p.a.ce here feel quite a bit thinner and weaker when compared to our home planet, we might have ended up on a rather peculiar planet."

There was one thing that Fang Ying avoided mentioning, it was also the same fact that Li Yang and Zhao Feng were trying to avoid thinking about. Looking at how different the Qi and s.p.a.ce here was, and thinking about how long they had been traveling through s.p.a.ce, there was a chance that they had already left their own universe. But if that was the truth, there was no telling how long it would take them to go home so that they could start the search for their other comrades, so none of them wanted to spend too much time thinking about it. Li Yang nodded his head, his gaze drifting towards the distant ruins while he stood up.

"Yeah, you"re right, it"s best to focus on the pre...woah!"

Li Yang couldn"t help but cut his sentence short with a slight exclamation as he stood up. He was just trying to stand up normally, but that simple action actually ended up causing him to involuntarily jump into the air. It felt as if gravity had weakened many times over, forcing him to pay attention to how much force he used just for standing up.

Fang Ying and Zhao Feng experienced much the same when they tried to stand up, with Fang Ying having it somewhat easier thanks to her experience with the law of s.p.a.ce. The three people and one wolf quickly found their bearings and figured out how to properly move around in this seemingly low-gravity area.

They then turned towards the distant ruins and started to dash towards them, slowing their speed somewhat so that they could still keep a close eye on their surroundings. But even when they intentionally slowed their speed, they were still able to run faster than they could back on their own planet.

Thanks to this, it didn"t take them long to reach the aged ruins, not encountering anything as they ran. It seemed as if the entire plain was devoid of life, not even a single blade of gra.s.s growing anywhere. There was a chance that the plain was once the site of a ma.s.sive battle that ruined it completely, but they couldn"t even see a single piece of bone or bone dust, so they had no idea if their guess was correct.

The ruins were rather spectacular and grand, spanning at least a few hundred thousand kilometers in each direction. The buildings were built with a strange architecture, they were almost exclusively shaped like spirals that twisted themselves towards the heavens, the tallest buildings still piercing into the clouds. But it wasn"t the buildings that drew the attention of Li Yang and the others, the thing that drew their attention was a house-sized sign made from a strange blue stone, as well as the words engraved into the stone.

"I pray that these words never see the light of day, but if they do, let it be known that Minor Universe Ruler Dong Ren was unable to defend this territory from the undying horde of the Bloodwind Emperor."
