Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Chapter 292 Lin Ximeng

Amidst the turbulent energy currents of the interstellar vortex, Ling Yun's hair was whipped about wildly by the gale.

Her eyes, however, were as firm as iron, and her hands gripped the control stick of the Shadow tightly.

Every change of direction felt like a tug-of-war with fate.

Qin Feng stared intently at the instrument panel, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, as he loudly reported various data to Ling Yun, assisting her in making accurate judgments.

"Sister Lingyun, the energy fluctuations to the left front are a bit weaker; perhaps that's a breakthrough point!"

Qin Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice sounded weak amidst the howling wind and the violent shaking of the spaceship.

Ling Yun did not respond, but nodded slightly. He suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the Shadow Ship swerved to the side, narrowly avoiding the impact of a huge meteorite.

Immediately afterwards, it rushed in the direction Qin Feng pointed.

However, before they could even catch their breath, a thick beam of energy shot up from the bottom of the vortex and flew straight toward the Shadow.

"not good!"

Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise and quickly pulled the control stick, trying to steer the spaceship to the side to avoid the attack.

But the energy beam was too fast, and it arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this critical moment, Qin Feng quickly formed hand seals, and a powerful spiritual energy surged from his hands, forming a spiritual energy shield in front of the spaceship.

"boom!"

The energy beam slammed heavily against the shield, producing a deafening sound. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the shield, which was on the verge of shattering.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yun increased the engine speed, and the Shadow, like a black meteor, shot out through the gaps in the energy beam and shield.

After a long and perilous struggle, they finally felt the surrounding gravitational and energy storms gradually weakening.

"We made it!"

Qin Feng shouted excitedly.

Ling Yun's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Having escaped the interstellar vortex, Ling Yun and Qin Feng dared not slacken their efforts and immediately piloted the Shadow to continue their journey toward the Dark Abyss.

In the days that followed, they traversed the stars with extreme caution, constantly on guard for any movement around them.

Finally, the mysterious and dangerous outline of the Dark Abyss came into their view.

Just as they were about to enter the Dark Abyss, a beam of multicolored light suddenly shot out from the interstellar dust beside them, blocking their path.

After the light faded, a woman dressed in colorful robes appeared before them. She had an exquisite face, ethereal eyes, and a powerful yet mysterious aura emanating from her.

"Sister Lingyun, Brother Qin Feng," the woman said, her voice like heavenly music, gently echoing through the stars.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Ling Yun asked warily, his hand unconsciously gripping the sword hilt, and the spiritual energy within his body began to circulate slowly.

The woman smiled slightly. "Sister Lingyun, it seems you really have forgotten me. My name is Lin Ximeng, and I am the third Supreme Being of the Hongmeng Universe. I am here to stop you from entering the Dark Abyss."

Qin Feng chimed in, "That's right, Sister Lingyun, she is Lin Ximeng's third sister."

"Stop us? Why?" Ling Yun asked, puzzled.

Lin Ximeng's expression was solemn. "The Dark Abyss has been sealed off. The Black Hole Saint Lord sensed your intentions. He was afraid that you would obtain the power within the Dark Abyss, so he preemptively sealed it off. With your current strength, you simply cannot break through the blockade he set up."

Ling Yun frowned. "Are we just going to give up like this? The Cosmic Essence Treasure is still in the hands of the Black Hole Saint King, and the entire universe is in imminent danger. We cannot back down!"

Looking at Ling Yun's determined eyes, Lin Ximeng couldn't help but feel more admiration for her.

“I know you bear a great mission, but blindly taking risks will only lead to your deaths. After the Dark Abyss was sealed, the situation inside became more complicated and dangerous. Even I am not entirely confident that I can enter safely.”

Ling Yun stared intently at Lin Ximeng, his eyes revealing resentment and determination.

"Lin Ximeng, is there really no other way? The universe is in imminent danger, we can't just sit and wait to die. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try."

Lin Ximeng sighed softly and said, "There is a way, but it is extremely difficult. The Black Hole Saint King will personally reinforce the seal of the Dark Abyss every once in a while. During the brief intervals before and after that, the power of the seal will fluctuate. But this opportunity is fleeting, and he will definitely lay a tight net around it to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to break in."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Qin Feng's eyes: "As long as there's a chance, we can't give up. Third Sister, you must have a plan, right?"

Lin Ximeng nodded slightly.

"I have been exploring the mysteries of the Dark Abyss Seal these days and have discovered that the seal of the Black Hole Saint King is related to an ancient cosmic law."

"If we can find a power that can restrain this law, we might be able to tear open a gap. And this power may be hidden in a mysterious place, Spirit Illusion Star."

Ling Yun replied without hesitation, "Then let's head to Linghuan Star immediately."

Lin Ximeng shook her head and said, "Linghuan Star is not so easy to reach. It is located at the edge of the universe, surrounded by countless spacetime turbulence. If you are not careful, you will be swept into the endless spacetime vortex and lost forever. Moreover, it is said that Linghuan Star is inhabited by all kinds of strange creatures and powerful protective forces. It is by no means easy to obtain its power."

Qin Feng clenched his fist: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. For the universe, for reclaiming the Cosmic Essence Treasure, this little danger is nothing."

Ling Yun's gaze was firm: "Lin Ximeng, our minds are made up. We hope you can come with us to Linghuan Star."

Looking at their resolute expressions, Lin Ximeng was filled with emotion: "Alright, I'll go with you. But we still need to make some preparations."

In the days that followed, Lin Ximeng led Ling Yun and Qin Feng back to her secluded cultivation place.

This is a mysterious palace suspended in the void of the universe. The palace is surrounded by rich spiritual energy and contains countless precious cultivation resources and ancient books.

Lin Ximeng took out three treasures and handed them to Ling Yun and Qin Feng respectively.

"This is the Star Amulet, which can resist the erosion of spacetime turbulence to a certain extent; this is the Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Slip, which can help you sense special energy fluctuations on the Spirit Illusion Star; and these two bottles of spiritual liquid can quickly restore your spiritual power in critical moments."

Ling Yun and Qin Feng solemnly accepted the treasure, their hearts filled with gratitude.

Afterwards, they began their final preparations for cultivation in the palace.

Ling Yun practiced the Starry Sky Sword Technique day and night, perfectly fusing the power of the universe and stars with his own spiritual power. With each swing of the sword, he could feel the power of stars surging within his body.
