Immediately, an indescribable strange fluctuation assaulted them.

How should one describe this moment of transformation?

Simply put, even Wen Daoyuan, with his Great Scholar cultivation, felt his Divine Thought turn blank for an instant when the change occurred.

In that instant, all the worldly greed, hate, folly, anger, worries, and rush seemed to turn to ashes.

The minds of all living beings stagnated, and the boundless rain and wind seemed to morph into distorted images.

Even the bewildered and exaggerated expression of the old Daoist Xuanwei appeared to become part of this moment's stormy imagery.

The old Daoist Xuanwei stared at Chen Xu in disbelief, shock, and even terror.

At that moment, he saw Chen Xu grabbing Wen Daoyuan with one hand while casually tearing forward with the other.

The entire heaven and earth seemed like a roll of silk, torn open by him.

He stepped forward and disappeared into the torn heavens, taking Wen Daoyuan with him.

Then, just as suddenly, the silk-like heaven and earth mended itself naturally, and Chen Xu and Wen Daoyuan... along with the Cloud Boat beneath them, vanished without a trace.

Afterward, a wild wind swept by.

With the gusts blowing fiercely, in an instant, the old Daoist Xuanwei experienced a terrifying drop, as if from a flat "image" back to a vivid vast world.

He felt as if he was suddenly plunging from a great height unexpectedly.

Indeed, the old Daoist Xuanwei found himself rapidly descending towards the ground amid the wild storm.

Although he could fly with Wind Control, at this moment, he lost control, swept by a great pressure, rendering him utterly helpless.

It seemed as though he was about to crash and shatter into pieces.

Yet he showed no fear; instead, he began to laugh loudly amid the ominous moment.

"To tear open the heavens and earth with one hand, this person, this person must excellently grasp the art of shrinking distances. He surely possesses some mastery of the subtleties of heaven and earth to achieve such methods.

This indeed shows that heaven has no dead ends.

Marvelous, marvelous, the old Daoist might see hope for ascension! Hahaha..."

His manic laughter filled the air as his form continued to fall, ultimately crashing violently to the ground.

Bang!

The old Daoist Xuanwei was left shattered by the terrifying drop, scattered upon the land.

Yet his head, remarkably, lifted up at this time, bouncing until it landed upon his fragmented upper body, attaching back to his neck and shoulders.

His head also bounded with the upper body, reattaching his left hand to his torso.

Thus, despite being battered and broken, the old Daoist ingeniously reassembled his shattered body through a strange aura.

He twisted his bones upright with audible crunches.

Around him, the storm and rain continued to rage.

The old Daoist Xuanwei felt immense pain, but his eyes shone with exhilarated fervor.

The impact Chen Xu brought was not only shocking to the old Daoist Xuanwei but also profoundly startling Wen Daoyuan.

Wen Daoyuan never imagined he would one day be "taken away" by Chen Xu!

What kind of cultivation did Chen Xu possess?

Previously, Wen Daoyuan somewhat overestimated Chen Xu, given Chen Xu's notable achievements, making him undeniably a top-tier expert among the younger generation.

Yet, despite being an expert, in Wen Daoyuan's eyes, he remains a younger counterpart.

Being a rising star, as Wen Daoyuan assumed, Chen Xu should be the one protected from behind.

Wen Daoyuan tried multiple times to act as Chen Xu's protector.

But who could have foreseen? The very Chen Xu that seemed needing protection displayed such startling and wondrous skills when he actually acted.

He tore the heavens apart with his hand; in a fleeting moment, he took Wen Daoyuan across mountains and rivers over a thousand miles away.

It was a terrifying speed that Wen Daoyuan's Cloud Boat couldn't achieve despite any effort.

In a moment, they traversed a thousand miles, and the Cloud Boat arrived above Pingyang Prefecture, along the middle section of Yuan Cang River.

Below, there were the monstrous fish gazing upwards, eager to use countless souls as sacrifices to leap over the Dragon Gate.

But lamenting cries echoed, with countless wronged souls shouting to the heavens:

"I am filled with hatred, I am unwilling! I wish to leap over the Dragon Gate, I desire to transform into a dragon..."

The echoes shook heaven and earth; it was the wicked dragon Wen Daoyuan had resolved to eliminate, exhausting all his cultivation.

The Cloud Boat entered the storm's fiercest center, swaying momentarily.

Right before them lay the dragon-like monstrous fish, carrying endless bloodlust and countless souls.

Its dragon head and fish body spread wings, overshadowing the skies.

It raised its head to the sky, flying into the air, finally about to completely detach from Yuan Cang River's nurturing water, ascending to leap over the Dragon Gate.

Actually, when Wen Daoyuan and Chen Xu reached the top of this storm-filled sky, the monstrous fish had already flown into the air.

Its head and upper body had indeed leapt over the invisible "Dragon Gate," showing initial dragon traits.

The spirits mourned, their cries echoed, each voice forlorn.

They shouted out in unison: "Leap over the Dragon Gate! Leap over the Dragon Gate..."

Yet, Wen Daoyuan was unwilling to let them leap over the Dragon Gate.

Holding his Daoist Book, Wen Daoyuan finally steadied himself from traversing through heavens and earth's immense disparity.

Resolutely, he prepared to muster all his power and strike!

When he noticed Chen Xu beside him moved again.

Chen Xu gently stepped forward; in a flash, he appeared directly in front of the monstrous fish's dragon head.

Then he reached out one hand.

It was still that same hand.

That hand seemed to casually press upon the dragon head's forehead position.

Boom——

An indescribable Giant Strength erupted.

The monstrous fish's dragon head was pushed down!

Wen Daoyuan did not know that just then, Chen Xu had comprehended a small portion of the great world's spatial mysteries.

The world is vast, yet the horizon seems within reach.

Why is it so?

Chen Xu hadn't fully grasped the principle, but at the moment he captured the Spiritual Mechanism, he decisively swallowed the [Dragon Soaring Pill]!

Once the [Dragon Soaring Pill] entered his stomach, the already Golden Core Stage Chen Xu's aura surged instantly.

His True Qi boiled, growing several times over.
