Chapter 2364 Explosive Welcome

The structure of this ancient, well-preserved man-made world closely resembled Earthʼs current state.

So, when Song Shuhang leaped into the atmosphere and rapidly descended, the friction between his body and the atmosphere caused it to heat up.

Of course, this level of high temperature posed no threat to Song Shuhang. However, to ensure the safety of Lady Onion and the hamster in his pocket, Song Shuhang invoked the Thirty-Three Divine Beastsʼ Combined Magical Treasure.

A gleaming suit of armor and cloak tightly enveloped him.

However, he chose not to wear the helmet—not out of stubbornness, but to maintain control over his hair manipulation technique. His twenty hair palms were in a state of readiness and were prepared to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

”Shuhang, are you sure itʼs okay not to wear a safety helmet?” Lady Onion asked via mental communication.

With a faint smile, Song Shuhang replied, ”Itʼs fine. Iʼve got a hard head.”

Lady Onion was left speechless.

As they communicated mentally, Song Shuhangʼs descent speed increased further, and his body began to rub against the atmosphere vigorously. Eventually, he burst into flames.

Fierce flames enveloped Song Shuhangʼs face, followed by his thirty braids, and finally his neck.

The parts below his neck were protected by the Thirty-Three Divine Beastsʼ Combined Magical Treasure.

”Hey, Shuhang, your face is on fire,” Pavilion Master Chu remarked in a daze.

The wword couldnʼt help but laugh. ”Itʼs fine. Heʼs thick-skinned.”

Song Shuhang was left speechless.

”Itʼs a shame Song Shuhang still has hair; otherwise, heʼd look just like the main character in a certain movie right now. So handsome,” the sword remarked through mental transmission.

”Song Shuhang, Ghost Rider,” Lady Onion promptly responded while showcasing her proficiency in movies, TV series, and animations.

”Yes, thatʼs it! Ghost Rider!”

Song Shuhang silently extended his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword, and unsheathed it. Then, he placed the sword above his head and firmly gripped it with his two braided hands. He adjusted his descending posture while positioning himself head down and feet up.

Whoosh! The swordʼs body also ignited with flames.

However, this was no ordinary fire; it was the regular version of the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique that Song Shuhang had previously used to engulf the sword with a layer of true fire. With the sword leading the way, Song Shuhang felt his descent become more stable.

”How childish!” the sword mockingly sent through mental transmission.

Black-skinned Soft Feather giggled. ”Senior Song, youʼre still a child.”

Being praised by Soft Feather only intensified the flames on Song Shuhangʼs face.

In fact, his initial intention had been to burn the sword as a warning.

After igniting the sword above his head, Lady Onion fell silent immediately. If Song Shuhang had placed her small body on top of his head and ignited it, she might turn to ashes instantly.

”Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, can you still connect to the Inner World?” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet inquired.

”Itʼs no longer possible. This man-made small world is sealed off from the Inner World. However, I can still utilize techniques like World in the Sleeve and World Refining Holy Ape,” Song Shuhang responded.

Spatially, this man-made world fragment resembled the Wielderʼs small black room. Techniques such as the Inner Small World and spatial teleportation, which could lead to an escape from the artificial world, were blocked. However, smaller-scale spatial spells like the World in the Sleeve, Spatial Bending, and spatial magic tools remained functional.

Song Shuhang surmised that opening his Inner World within the man-made small world would likely require waiting for the ancient god to leave the small world and release the seal.

”If the ʼHoly Ape Refinement Worldʼ can still be utilized, then I just need to locate the coordinates and reopen this small world to exit, correct?” Pavilion Master Chu suggested.

Song Shuhang nodded. ”Thatʼs right. Iʼve memorized our entry pointʼs location. When weʼre ready to depart, weʼll find that location and employ the World Refining Holy Ape technique to reopen the portal.”

Just as they were conversing, Song Shuhang sensed a surveillance presence sweeping over him. It didnʼt feel like a cultivatorʼs spiritual awareness; rather, it resembled some form of monitoring device.

”Youʼve been detected,” Pavilion Master Chu alerted him.

Song Shuhang nodded. ”Seems like someone in this man-made world has locked onto my location. Pavilion Master Chu, please help me conceal my presence.”

It appeared that the three-legged illusion technique couldnʼt hide him from the inhabitants of this small world.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an intense beam of light pierced the sky and homed in on his location.

”Goodness,” Song Shuhang thought while summoning the ʼEight Kingʼs Wallsʼ from the ʼThirty-Three Divine Beastsʼ Combined Magical Treasure.ʼ These protective layers began to shield him from the concentrated fire of the cityʼs defense system.

”Theyʼre powerful!” he estimated. ”Each attack seems to be at least seventh-grade or even stronger.”

Pavilion Master Chu chimed in, ”This assault also carries a strange energy, an ability even I canʼt identify.”
