A passerby in a horror movie

Therefore, even if the space does not give a clear prompt for task completion, it is because you did not return to that derivative world to finish it off.

But the core objective of the mission has already been accomplished, and he can return directly through the Heavenly Gate.

However, after hearing what the source said, Li Haotian was indeed a little wary.

The source's words are a mix of truth and falsehood, and who knows if he is deliberately feigning weakness to lay a deadly trap?

Once I activate the space, it might trigger some kind of taboo, giving him an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, Li Haotian did not act rashly, but he could not really stay here with the source.

According to the source, he trapped himself in this void to prevent himself from growing and to create an advantage for the final battle.

This is entirely beneficial to the source.

If one cannot interact with the derivative worlds, one cannot allow those illusory worlds to be imbued with the essence and undergo sublimation, and thus cannot draw strength from them to strengthen oneself.

Being trapped and unable to return to nourish the original world is tantamount to severing the foundation of the path of "transformation".

It's not a big deal if his one source is temporarily trapped, but it's a big deal if his billions of sources scattered throughout the myriad worlds are trapped.

If we are locked down and trapped by the source like we are now, then we will truly be doomed.

Therefore, he must leave here as soon as possible to break this deadlock.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Li Haotian's mind.

Although I dare not easily return to the space and the original world, for fear of giving the source an opportunity to take advantage.

But on the other hand, I can bring people over myself!

Without further hesitation, Li Haotian immediately stirred his mind, and the power of his origin within his body surged slightly, causing an ancient and profound portal to slowly appear in the void—the Heavenly Gate Space.

He focused his mind and first locked onto the auras of Uncle Nine, Li Guohua, and Shi Jian.

Extending his consciousness into the depths of space, he located Valak and planned to summon them all together.

Even if we can't defeat the source immediately, it can still provide some assistance and perhaps even help us find the key to breaking the deadlock.

"boom!"

Just as Li Haotian's thought was completely settled, a deafening roar suddenly came from the void where he was, like the thunder at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the light in the Heavenly Gate space suddenly surged, and four figures strode out of the portal and landed steadily in the void.

"This is……"

As soon as Uncle Nine landed, his pupils constricted in shock at the boundless chaotic void around him.

"Owner!"

Valak reacted the fastest, instantly sensing Li Haotian's presence. He quickly walked towards him, his eyes filled with respect and vigilance.

The remaining Li Guohua and Shi Jian also quickly recovered from their shock.

Upon seeing Li Haotian not far away, the group's faces lit up with joy, and they were about to step forward and follow him.

But just as they lifted their feet, an invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly swept in from the depths of the void, pinning them firmly in place.

What horrified them even more was that their bodies began to undergo strange changes.

The hands and feet of the group first became transparent, and then their entire bodies slowly began to dissolve, as if being dissolved by an invisible force.

Even his soul began to tremble, and wisps of white soul mist overflowed from the top of his head, quickly dissipating in the void.

It was as if they would disappear completely into this unfamiliar space at any moment!

"I...what's wrong with me?"

Shi Jian's face turned pale. He tried to circulate all his cultivation to resist, but the magical power he had painstakingly cultivated vanished without a trace as soon as it came into contact with the surrounding void, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Xiao Tian, ​​where is this? What happened?"

Li Guohua also panicked. He could clearly feel his life slipping away rapidly, and that sense of powerlessness was more terrifying than facing any powerful enemy.

"Heh, these guys have only been tainted by a trace of the original aura and have only luckily gained the qualification for sublimation. They haven't truly touched the reality yet, so naturally they are not qualified to appear in this real place."

Seeing the three of them in a panic, Yuantou finally put down his teacup and slowly spoke.

His gaze swept lightly over Uncle Nine and the other two, as if they were looking at three insignificant objects, before finally settling on Valak with a hint of inquiry.

“If they stay any longer, their souls and bodies will be assimilated by the power of truth, leaving not a trace of cause and effect, and turning into nothingness.”

"Xiao Tian, ​​where are you? And who is he?"

Following the gaze of the source, Uncle Nine and his two companions finally noticed the figure who had been sitting quietly all along.

They hadn't even noticed each other's presence, as if the other person had merged with the void, until he spoke.

"Uncle-Master, it's too late to explain!"

As Li Haotian watched the three figures become increasingly transparent, a sense of urgency rose within him.

He could clearly feel that the assimilating force was extremely domineering; if he delayed any longer, even a god would not be able to save them.

"You guys go back first, don't worry, I'm fine!"

He didn't have time to explain in detail. Li Haotian immediately activated the power of the Heavenly Gate Space, and a soft light curtain enveloped Uncle Nine and the other two.

The three of them felt a blur before their eyes, and the trend of their bodies becoming ethereal stopped instantly, and the terrifying sense of oppression also disappeared.

The next second, their figures were enveloped by the light screen and retreated back into the Heavenly Gate space.

Instead of sending them back to their original derivative world, Li Haotian placed them directly in the core area of ​​his mysterious space.

There, they are nourished by the power of origin, which isolates them from assimilation by the outside world, allowing them to completely stabilize their bodies.

Sure enough, as the light curtain dissipated, the figures of Uncle Nine and his two companions landed steadily in the core of the space.

The ethereal body gradually regained its physical form, and the soul stopped trembling. They were finally out of danger.

After seeing off Uncle Nine and the other two, Li Haotian immediately turned his gaze back to Valak, who was standing beside him.

Valak had already assumed a full battle stance, transforming into his demon form, with his bone wings fully unfurled and his jet-black armor covered in ferocious runes.

He grinned, his eyes fixed fiercely on the source opposite him.

As Li Haotian's contracted servant, he was closely connected to his master's aura.

It could be clearly sensed that this seemingly gentle fellow was the master's enemy.

"How come Valak is alright?"

A thought struck Li Haotian, and he quickly began to ponder.

As the source just mentioned, the characters in the derivative world have no origin and cannot exist in this real void.

Why is Valak, who is also a demon from a derivative world, unharmed?

"That's right, the source is right, the characters in the derivative worlds do not have an origin."

But Valak is different. It was a reward specifically extracted and materialized by the Heavenly Gate Space after I completed my mission. It has the support of its origin and has already acquired the power to sublimate reality.

Li Haotian quickly figured out the key point.
