Martial Peak

Chapter 6101, Source Realm, Connecting All Worlds

Author: Silavin

The light was blinding, but it was over just as quickly as it appeared. What was once darkness due to everyone closing their eyes was now just darkness all around them.

Yang Ji, feeling the strange sensation that this place felt too familiar, used his Divine Sense instead of his eyes.

The moment of realisation struck and he widened his eyes in shock, “H-How are we here!?”

The Heavenly Demon Queen had managed to send them to the Source Realm. A place where it should only have been accessible through the Primordial Source Gate. More than that, they were at a truly familiar location. They were just outside of Mo Na Ye’s Black Ink Nest! 

[How could a simple Array, even if it is a Grand Array, do something that Father couldn’t?] Yang Ji thought while in shock. Indeed, Yang Kai had to cross through the Primordial Source Gate to arrive here. He had no other methods. Not even the World Tree had the ability to send them over to a place like this.

Yet, the Heavenly Demon Queen had just done it.

This shock naturally extended to Yang Xu. It was only Yang Ling that remained confused, “W-Why is everything so dark!? Older Brother! Older Sister! Where are you!”

She panicked.

After all, this was no longer a Space they were used to. When Yang Ling tried to spread out her Divine Sense, it was blocked off. It seemed like there was a sphere covering her and another woman.

In fact, due to this sphere, Yang Ji and Yang Xu were unable to sense where Yang Ling was. Even her cries could not be heard.

Then, Wu Lun’s voice penetrated through. All three children could hear it.

“Stop crying. Geez, just got stuck with babysitting. Unbelievable. Look here, I have to keep you within a separate isolated space because you would have been tainted by the forces here. With your meagre cultivation, you would have lost sense of yourself once you step foot here. So, just wait and be quiet. Only I can hear you while you are within this sphere.”

Then, seemingly having made his point, he tuned out whatever Yang Ling would say.

The Heavenly Demon Queen then immediately turned to Wu Lun, “It would have been most prudent to preserve all of them together.”

“No way. These two can walk on their own. Only Mei Qing and this other brat needs my protection. Besides, I want them to see what happens. Or, are you telling me you don’t want them to see?” Wu Lun smirked and questioned.

The Heavenly Demon Queen just shrugged the question off. She turned forward and said, to an empty space in front of her. “We are cognisant that our presence has not escaped your notice. We beseech you to set aside any concerns regarding the welfare of the young ones. They will remain under our protection. We ask for safe passage to a secluded domain, far removed from your people. It is our intent to ensure no harm befalls onto your people.”

Soon, a presence appeared from the ground, full of darkness, like ink soaked its entire form. Naturally, this was Little Eleven. He had foreseen a day like this would come. 

Though he knew many secrets of the world, he could not share them. Still, he understood what they were here for. After all, the Source Realm was the link between all Worlds. To describe it as the place of beginning would not be wrong, but would not be correct either. It was definitely the only site to easily reach that place.

Regardless, since things have come to this point, he knew any objections would not work. There was a youth, who even he could not see through. This could only mean one thing, and Little Eleven knew that any resistance was futile. He could only comply with their demands. It was already fortunate that this youth was not the one speaking, and the one leading the group was that little worm.

Little Eleven moved closer to the Heavenly Demon Queen. He asked, “How much distance?”

The Heavenly Demon Queen turned towards Wu Lun and the youth just shrugged, “The size of a third of your land would suffice. Just to be safe, double that and have everyone leave.”

Little Eleven did not so much as question why he needed such a large area. He just gave a nod and turned towards the Twins. He clenched his fist, concentrating all his might.

This time, even the ground started trembling a little as Little Eleven placed all his focus to condense two small beads.

It might have only taken a minute, but Little Eleven seems to be exhausted from this. The Twins could not fathom how much power was placed into these two small beads. However, when they received it with both hands and used their Divine Sense to survey it, they could not help but look perplexed.

After all, they could not feel anything from these beads.

Little Eleven made a small smile as he explained, “They are Black Origin Beads. They will show you the way home. Or at the very least, back to me. Keep them safe, and make sure you never expose them to others.”

Yang Ji and Yang Xu gave a nod and kept the beads into their Space Rings.

Yang Xu then asked, “Then what about Yang Ling? Won’t she need one?”

This time, Wu Lun finally spoke, “What for? She will be sticking to one of you. As long as you are with her, problem solved. Besides, this thing seriously cannot fall into the wrong hands, understand?”

It was the first time Wu Lun was being so helpful in explaining. Seeing his tone change, the Twin could not help but take it even more seriously.

Sensing that he was actually going a little out of character, Wu Lun immediately gave a cough “*Ahem.* Can you lead us away now?”

However, he was not directing this question to Little Eleven but to the Heavenly Demon Queen. After all, he did not wish to form any karmic connections to Little Eleven.

The Heavenly Demon Queen sighed and then turned towards Little Eleven, who snapped his finger and formed an Array beneath their feat using Black Ink Strength.

But, due to all the commotion, before the group got transported, from the window of the Black Ink Nest beside Mo Na Ye’s, two small eyes could be seen staring out.

When Yang Ji and Yang Xu turned because they noticed the presence of someone spying on them, those pair of eyes quickly vanished.

Little Eleven opened his mouth to say towards Yang Xu, “If Mo Na Ye were here, he would like to thank you for your gift. How unfortunate that he will not be able to see you two anytime soon.”

“It’s okay, we will come back one day. We definitely will.” Yang Xu said with a smile, though she was not exactly pleased to be forced to some unknown place.

Yang Ji added, “Uncle Eleven, you don’t need to worry. I’ll keep Yang Xu and Yang Ling safe,”

“Of course you will.” Little Eleven gave a brief smile and waved his hand. “Hope that fate will bring us together one day.”

Soon, darkness consumed the group and they got transported away, far away from any location they knew of.

It was a purely empty land, void of anything.

Afraid of the damage Wu Lun would inflict on this would territory, Little Eleven dare not even place them anywhere close to his territory. In fact, he dared not even transport them to the land of his adversaries, because he could not tell if Wu Lun might accidentally destroy his other two parts. So, he could only find a location void of everything, even other Profound Source Gates. 

Wu Lun looked around and sighed, “Finally!”

He did not even need to take a look around. The instant he was transported here, he knew this was the perfect spot. 

He spread his arms wide as though welcoming Heaven.

Then… an unbelievable scene played out. One which the Twins would never be able to forget.

*Crack*

Out of the darkness, akin to the abyss, light began to pour. Darkness retreated away, like soldiers that had lost all will to encroach upon this land. From above, cracks appeared.

These cracks were like spiderwebs, and there were multiple of them.

The light had simply poured in from these cracks, and it was enough to make the darkness retreat. Yet, this was only the beginning.

*Rumble*

The whole world seems to tremble and the cracks above spread further.

Soon, those spiderweb-like cracks burst apart, seemingly having the barrier of space shattered and from it came what seemed to be ginormous glowing golden fingers.

The glowing golden fingers pushed through whatever obstructed them. Anything in front of them was annihilated, disintegrated, as though the laws of this world themselves were being destroyed into oblivion.

Even when the world seemed to be desperately trying to mend itself, those fingers just pushed through.

Those five fingers grew longer, and eventually, an entire palm appeared. At this point, the world seemed to have finally faltered and broke. Now, not only was the sky cracking, all around them, space was cracking and distorting under the immense pressure.

Yang Ji and Yang Xu saw this hand coming towards them and could not help but panic. They instinctively heightened their guard but Wu Lun warned. “Don’t move. Stay where you are. This world is too fragile. I’m already trying to minimise the damage. One step further from me and you might die. Also, if I accidentally apply even more strength, your whole world will be in trouble, understood.”

Yang Ji and Yang Xu froze at those words. However, they could not help but have droplets of sweat fall from their backs. Even if the pressure was not directed towards them, they could still feel its crushing might from where they stood.

This hand, if it so wished, might truly be enough to destroy the world. Before it, they were different from ants.

The golden hand soon arrived, overcoming rejection from this world, and grasped the group in its palm. 

However, before it scooped in, Wu Lun quickly covered everyone. He forced them all into the sphere Yang Ling was in. After all, at this point, it would be difficult to ensure everyone was safe from the immense pressure.

Worse off, even if the golden hand was gentle towards them, it could hardly contain its strength due to needing to continuously reject the laws of this world.

However, once it started to retreat, as though sentient, the world seemed to stop hindering its movement and allowed it to quickly pass. It was as though it was glad to quickly get rid of this invader.

Naturally, without this hindrance, the hand quickly left. It even went as far as to seal the gap it had created, lest something escape from it…
