Junior Ye Chuan

The moment the chaotic mist dissipated, the devastated market square was exposed to the sunlight.

The once-bustling street had turned into ruins, with broken alloy beams stuck haphazardly into the ground.

The ground was covered in bottomless cracks, and the buildings in the distance, pierced by antimatter bullets, were still billowing black smoke.

Ye Chuan brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes and turned to look at Lin Xi, whose face was still pale:

"It's fine now, everything is resolved."

"Mm..." Lin Xi nodded, looking at the empty ground with lingering fear.

"Mr. Ye, just now... what exactly happened in there? I couldn't see anything, I only heard a few screams."

"Nothing much, just played hide-and-seek with them," Ye Chuan said casually, his gaze sweeping over Kalen, who was walking over briskly not far away.

"Are the permissions approved?"

"Yes, Lord Demon King," Kalen bowed expressionlessly.

"The public warp channel is open, and we can depart for the core star sector of Apocalypse Planet at any time."

That was good.

Since they had sent a squad to intercept and kill him, it would be a disservice to the light-attribute holy artifact in his hands if he didn't refine some of their people.

Just as Ye Chuan was about to nod, his expression changed slightly.

An indescribably terrifying aura surged from all directions like a tidal wave.

This aura was like the universe itself—ancient, profound, and towering above all things.

This was...

This was a powerful aura Ye Chuan had never felt before!!!

For the first time, the chaotic power within Ye Chuan's body stirred uncontrollably, as if it had met its natural nemesis.

This was the first time he had felt such tremendous power since he started traveling through countless worlds.

It was so strong that he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.

His pupils quaked!

"Mr. Ye? What's wrong?" Lin Xi noticed Ye Chuan's abnormality and quickly asked with concern.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt her entire body go soft and slumped onto the ground, unable to move even a single finger.

Kalen also froze in place, her eyes hollow, losing all consciousness.

Only Ye Chuan was able to stand.

"An interesting little fellow at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I see you are no more than twenty years old, yet you can resist my aura... Could it be that you are a natural-born immortal... No, the aura on your body, chaos? Are you a Reincarnator?"

A gentle and ethereal female voice rang in Ye Chuan's mind like a heavenly melody.

This voice seemed to have traveled through billions of years of time.

"Can you come over for a chat?"

Having his trump card directly exposed, Ye Chuan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Not interested."

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding space instantly solidified.

It wasn't the rough spatial compression of the Divine Punishment Squad, but a true suspension of space and time.

The wind stopped, the light dimmed, and even the flow of time seemed to have been put on pause.

Ye Chuan could clearly feel that he was firmly locked in place by an invisible force; let alone moving, even blinking was incredibly difficult.

"Don't be so disrespectful," the female voice carried a hint of a smile. "I mean no harm, I just haven't seen a fellow traveler in a long time."

Ye Chuan's eyes turned cold, and the chaotic power in his body erupted with full force.

"Spatial Leap!"

His figure instantly blurred, trying to break free from the spatial restraints.

But the next second, he appeared right back where he started, as if the leap had never happened.

Refusing to believe it, he activated Spatial Leap more than a dozen times in a row, even using the power of his Chaos Domain.

But no matter where he leaped, that invisible force followed him like a shadow, pulling him back to the origin in an instant.

It was like being in an infinite loop of a cage; no matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape.

"Don't waste your energy," the female voice sighed softly. "Under this starry sky, there is no one who can refuse where I want to go or who I want to keep."

Ye Chuan stopped struggling and looked at the void with a solemn expression: "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"I told you, I just want to chat with you," the female voice said gently. "Look, I've even come to pick you up personally."

A fissure suddenly tore open in the space in front of Ye Chuan, and soft golden light flowed from within it, revealing a dazzling starry sky inside.

"Come in, I will take good care of your friends, no one will hurt them."

Ye Chuan hesitated for a moment.

He could feel that if the other party really wanted to kill him, they would have done it already without going through so much trouble.

Moreover, the other party mentioned being a fellow traveler, which raised an inexplicable premonition in his heart.

He glanced at Lin Xi and Kalen, who were slumped on the ground, confirmed that they had only temporarily lost consciousness and were not in any life-threatening danger, then took a deep breath and stepped into the space-time rift.

The moment the rift closed, the surrounding space and time returned to normal.

Lin Xi and Kalen woke up at the same time, looking blankly at the empty square, not knowing where Ye Chuan had gone.

Passing through the space-time rift, Ye Chuan found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

There was no sky here, no earth, only an endless, dazzling starry sky.

Countless stars slowly revolved around him, emitting a soft glow.

In the center of the starry sky stood a pavilion carved from white jade, and a woman dressed in white sat inside.

With her back to Ye Chuan, her jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, trailing all the way to the ground.

She wore an archaic white dress, the hem embroidered with faint star patterns that fluttered gently with her breathing.

Just from her back alone, she was as beautiful as an immortal from a painting, inspiring awe and preventing any thoughts of profanity.

Hearing the footsteps, the woman slowly turned around.

Ye Chuan couldn't help but hold his breath; it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman.

Her appearance was beyond words.

Her eyes were clear and profound, as if containing the sea of stars of the entire universe.

There were no energy fluctuations on her body, making her look like an ordinary mortal, yet Ye Chuan could feel that all the power of this starry sky revolved around her.

And she inexplicably gave Ye Chuan a sense of familiarity.

She was an immortal cultivator!

"Senior, this junior is Ye Chuan, a person of Tianxuan." Ye Chuan gathered his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

He became well-behaved.

Ye Chuan was indeed a good boy; when encountering a strong expert, playing dumb was the way to go, since it was obvious he was no match.

Looking at Ye Chuan, the corners of the woman's mouth curled into a gentle smile, "No need for formalities, please sit."

With a wave of her hand, a white jade stone stool appeared in front of Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan sat down as instructed, looking at the woman in front of him, the doubts in his heart deepening.

Her attire and her bearing clearly indicated she was an ancient immortal cultivator, and one with unfathomable cultivation at that.

"You just said you come from Tianxuan?" the woman spoke first, breaking the silence.

"Yes." Ye Chuan nodded.

"I come from the Tianxuan Continent."
