Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Sweat soaked through my clothes, and my spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.

Despite repeated attempts and failures, the altar remained firmly protected by that invisible barrier, unmoved.

I slumped to the ground, staring at the faintly glowing barrier before me, a deep sense of powerlessness washing over me.

Am I destined to never truly control this space?

Were all the previous efforts in vain?

Gong Lin stood beside me. I had tried to bring him in this time when I entered the space, and I didn't expect it to work. But now his expression was somewhat solemn.

He reached out, wanting to pull me up, but stopped the moment he touched me.

I could feel the warmth of his palm, but I couldn't feel the strength he was transmitting.

He just looked at me quietly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Give up,” I muttered to myself, my voice so low it was almost inaudible, “We…we simply can’t break through it.”

He finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "Qingqing..."

I suddenly looked up at him. Something flashed across his eyes.

"I..." He seemed to want to say something, but then suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the barrier.

He slowly reached out his hand, his fingertips gently touching the invisible barrier.

“No…” he said softly, his voice tinged with disbelief, “This feeling…”

“No,” Gong Lin repeated, this time with certainty in his voice, “This barrier is not impenetrable. It is… breathing.”

breathe?

I was stunned. How could a barrier breathe?

I tried to concentrate and sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around me.

At first, I didn't feel anything.

But as Gong Lin spoke, I seemed to actually catch a very subtle rhythm, like the beating of a heart, slow and powerful.

"Can you feel it?" Gong Lin's voice carried a hint of excitement. "It's contracting and expanding, just like..."

“Just like breathing.” I picked up on his words, a surge of hope welling up inside me.

If it is truly breathing, then it must have a weak point.

“We need to find its breathing pattern,” Gong Lin analyzed. “When it expands to its maximum, that may be the best time for us to break through.”

He pulled me to my feet and began to carefully observe the changes in the barrier.

We tried again and again, recording the time interval between each contraction and expansion.

Gong Lin's calmness and wisdom gave me great encouragement, and my fighting spirit, which had almost been extinguished, was rekindled because of him.

"Are you ready?" His voice rang in my ears, tinged with tenderness.

I took a deep breath and nodded.

He gently kissed my forehead, and the warm touch sent a jolt through my body like an electric current, filling me with strength.

The air around me seemed to warm up, and my heartbeat gradually synchronized with the barrier's breathing.

I know this is our best chance.

"Now!" Gong Lin shouted.

I channeled all my spiritual power and charged toward the center of the barrier...

Suddenly, I felt as if the air around me distorted.

“Wait…” I heard Gong Lin’s voice, tinged with a hint of alertness.

I stopped abruptly and turned to look at him.

His gaze, however, did not fall on me, but rather...

...It landed behind me.

I turned around abruptly, my heart almost stopping.

Behind me, several blurry figures appeared out of nowhere. Their forms were elusive, like ghosts, and they exuded a chilling aura.

Their movements were contorted and bizarre, emitting silent roars as they slowly approached us.

"What is that?!" I exclaimed in surprise, instinctively taking a step back and grabbing Gong Lin's arm tightly.

Gong Lin's expression also turned serious. He shielded me behind him, his eyes scanning the phantoms warily.

"Be careful, these things... don't seem to be physical entities."

Before I could finish speaking, a phantom pounced on me. Its claws pierced through my body, but did not cause any real harm. However, it made me feel a chill to the bone.

"They're attacking our mental energy!" Gong Lin immediately realized. "Qingqing, use your spatial power!"

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

My space!

I focused my mind and mobilized the power of space.

Suddenly, a gleaming ice sword appeared in my hand, its blade radiating a chilling aura.

This is a skill I've never mastered before!

"Die!" I roared, swinging my ice sword and slashing fiercely at the phantom.

The ice sword sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The phantom was struck by the ice sword, letting out a shrill scream. Its form became even more blurred, and finally it vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, the other phantoms seemed somewhat frightened, and their movements became hesitant.

"Now's the time!" Gong Lin shouted, rushing forward with lightning speed, defeating the remaining phantoms one by one.

I followed closely behind, attacking relentlessly with my newly acquired ice sword. Combined with Miya Rin's fighting skills, we quickly eliminated all the phantoms.

However, just when we thought the crisis was over, I suddenly sensed an even more powerful force approaching...

“Gong Lin…” I gripped his hand tightly, “I feel… something’s not right…”

A strong suction force pulled me over, and I gripped Gong Lin's hand tightly, but I felt his hand gradually slipping away.

My vision blurred, and I could hear the whistling wind in my ears, as if I were in a giant vortex.

Then, everything suddenly became quiet.

I opened my eyes and found myself standing in a completely new place with Gong Lin.

This place was no longer the empty plain it once was, but a cave shrouded in a strange light.

In the center of the cave, a bead emitting a seven-colored light floats, the light soft and warm, yet carrying an indescribable mysterious power.

"What is this?" I murmured to myself, deeply shocked by the scene before me.

Gong Lin didn't speak; he simply stared at the bead with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

We slowly walked towards the bead, and with each step we took, we could feel the mysterious power growing stronger.

When we walked up to the bead, it suddenly shone brightly, and then it slowly merged into my body!

I felt a powerful energy surge into my body, and my surroundings underwent a dramatic transformation.

The once barren land became fertile, the once sparse spiritual energy became rich, and I even felt a brand new power surging in my space.

"Qingqing..." Gong Lin's voice trembled slightly, "Your space..."

Before I could answer, I felt a strange connection between the space and the outside world, a connection I had never felt before.

This feeling...

Just like my space, it has become a part of this world.

“Gong Lin,” I grabbed his hand, my voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement, “I feel…”

Before I could finish speaking, I felt a force pulling me and Gong Lin backward.

We staggered back a few steps, and then, my vision was plunged into darkness once again...

"Qingqing!" I heard Gong Lin's anxious cry, but my consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred...
