“Wen Yu, the time has come.”
When the voice rang out, Wen Yu had already organized everything. He stood up, walked to the door, and opened it. Accompanied by a dim light, Bai’s bloodshot eyes came into view.
At this moment, Bai’s expression lacked the excitement he had shown in previous days, but his red eyes proved the excitement deep inside him. Wen Yu glanced at Bai, then shifted his gaze to those behind him.
Ye Nan, Leogua, and the remaining Avengers... these were all the personnel for this operation.
“Let’s go.”
Wen Yu said briefly, and Bai turned and transformed into a beam of white light, flying toward the distance. Wen Yu and the few others immediately followed.
...
The flight direction was east—indicating that the destination of this operation was still within the Desolate Borderlands.
Wen Yu wasn’t sure what Bai was planning, but as Bai flew farther away, a wave of unease suddenly washed over Wen Yu.
This feeling was akin to standing before a bottomless abyss, where one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation—a vague premonition of danger.
Wen Yu didn’t understand why this illusion suddenly arose. When he tried to sense it further, he found that this feeling came quickly and disappeared just as fast. In an instant, it vanished without a trace. Wen Yu thought it was simply because he had been too idle over the past three years, making him overly cautious when faced with matters of importance...
Suppressing this illusion deep in his heart, Wen Yu slowly fell in behind the group. About half an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination.
“We have arrived.”
Bai was the first to stop, gazing ahead at the enormous barrier radiating colorful lights when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“This is it?”
Wen Yu looked ahead, narrowing his eyes.
“This is indeed it.”
Bai nodded slightly, until Wen Yu’s gaze swept over him.
“This place, isn’t it the Demon Realm's endless void—the World Barrier?”
Bai continued to nod but offered no further response until he took the first step forward, slowly walking to the front of the World Barrier.
“Behind this is our destination…”
Only at this moment did Bai finally reveal the ultimate location of this operation.
...
Wen Yu didn’t know why Bai wanted to explore what lay beyond the Demon Realm's World Barrier, and the truth was that Wen Yu didn’t want to know. He merely raised his hand slightly, unleashing a wave of dark energy. The energy shot toward the World Barrier, instantly bursting like fireworks, only to be extinguished and rendered formless by an unknown power.
It was a simple test—one he had done before. This time, he only wanted to remind Bai.
“Look, even my attack, given my strength, is completely erased by this World Barrier. This thing always gives me a sense of danger. I think your plan this time is not very reliable; wanting to pass through the World Barrier and reach beyond it is simply wishful thinking.”
Wen Yu casually expressed his thoughts—he genuinely believed that exploring these things was of no real use. However, Bai merely chuckled lightly, turned to Wen Yu, and posed a question in a declarative tone.
“Since when did you, Wen Yu, become afraid of a mere Barrier?”
Wen Yu simply shook his head...
“I just feel…”
Midway through his words, Wen Yu suddenly furrowed his brow.
“Unnecessary? Or is it indifferent?”
Bai pressed him step by step. Though Bai wasn’t very polite, Wen Yu felt no anger. He merely frowned, pondering the hidden meaning behind Bai's words.
Until a flash of insight crossed Wen Yu's mind.
Wen Yu suddenly looked up, focusing intently on the World Barrier ahead, and spoke in a low voice, “The Demon Realm and this World Barrier seem to have problems…”
...
The Demon Realm is semi-spherical.
Indeed, this is not a secret—even Leogua knew the overall shape of the Demon Realm.
Although the Demon Realm is vast, as large as a star, this scale is not an insurmountable distance in the eyes of high-level practitioners. For instance, when Wen Yu was on Earth, he could circle the planet several times in just a minute with his strength. With such speed, what’s the point of taking a long time to circle a star-sized object? Just a meal’s worth of time?
