Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Immortal Art, Spatial Compression!
“What’s going on?” Johnnie asked, confused.

AureonHuman Emperor answered.”I’m not sure what’s happening, but there seems to be something like the original power of space in this spatial turbulence.”

“Stranger still, when we came here earlier, it was just normal spatial turbulence. Now there’s a bit of original space power mixed in. How did that happen?”

“Usually, except in some special secret realms, only when a strong person who has mastered the Power of the Way completely dies can this kind of thing happen.”

Johnnie was also confused. This time, in the Dark Hollow Cave, only the Six-Armed Demon, the Dragon King, and Weston’s clone had died. None of them were people who had mastered the Power of the Way.

Johnnie tried to remember everything that had happened. His mind was working fast, and suddenly he thought of the Seven Royal Clans.

Who told him about the Seven Royal Clans?

Who was it?

Was it that stupid guy Weston was talking about?

Johnnie kept thinking, and finally remembered a white figure.

“I think I remember something, Skye, AureonHuman Emperor — do your memories have any problems?” Johnnie asked.

After Johnnie’s reminder, AureonHuman Emperor and Skye also started to feel something was wrong. It was like they had forgotten someone.

At that moment, AureonHuman Emperor suddenly said.”I remember something. Only the Lost Formation could have sealed someone like Weston.”

Core player?

Lost Formation?

Johnnie’s heart suddenly jumped. He felt that AureonHuman Emperor was finally about to tell him the truth about the Star Raiders.

Sure enough, AureonHuman Emperor sighed first, then said.”Skye and I were going to tell you after you passed your heavenly tribulation. Now that you’ve gone through so much, we’ve finally accepted your character.”

“Right. What we call the Seven Royal Clans, a long time ago, were actually able to come to the Universe Continent as core players.”

AureonHuman Emperor started to explain. It turned out that just like the people from Earth, the Star Raiders could also invade the Universe Continent as players.

At first, the Immortality Cultivators from Earth were called “invaders” by the native creatures of the Universe Continent.

But that wasn’t really the case. The Earth cultivators just took over an empty area and slowly started to develop. They worked together with the native creatures and grew together.

But because there were players from the Seven Royal Clans, the Star Raiders kept causing trouble. This made the native creatures think that many cruel things were done by the Earth people.

“Players from the Seven Royal Clans had much stronger world power. At that time, those people couldn’t be killed completely. Even when they died, they could quickly come back to life.”

“So someone came up with the Lost Formation — the Lost Formation. It used the existence of a strong person as a price to completely seal those core players from the Seven Royal Clans.”

“Our memories are messed up, and the small bit of original space power here probably means that the strong person who sealed Weston has finally died.”

At this, AureonHuman Emperor looked a little sad and sighed silently.

Johnnie could feel the emotion in AureonHuman Emperor’s voice. He imagined that at first, Earth players could also not be killed completely. But later, many ways were found to stop them from coming back after they were killed.

According to what AureonHuman Emperor said, the world power in the Star Raiders’ world was much stronger. Their core players couldn’t be killed at all. The only way was to sacrifice a strong person completely to seal them.

No wonder AureonHuman Emperor and Skye didn’t want to tell more before. If a normal person found out about this, they would feel hopeless and it would affect their mindset.

But Johnnie had already lived once before. His mindset was much better than other geniuses. He took a deep breath and asked directly.”Back then, how did you finally get rid of those Star Raiders?”

AureonHuman Emperor didn’t answer. But Skye laughed a little and said, “Get rid of them? Saint’s plan failed. The Star Raiders just disappeared on their own.”

“Don’t talk about it anymore, Johnnie. You should take this chance and use the spatial turbulence here together with the Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art. Maybe you can learn a new original power.”

Johnnie nodded. He wanted to know more about Saint, but right now, AureonHuman Emperor and Skye looked very sad, like they were thinking about something painful.

Johnnie didn’t want to push further. He took a deep breath and looked back at the collapsed area. His eyes showed a strong determination.

Someone had to fight for a better world — for peace and stability. They were willing to give up everything, even their very existence.

He couldn’t stop now. He had to get stronger — as strong as he could.

Then, Johnnie controlled his Void Sword and jumped straight into the spatial turbulence.

The invisible turbulence cut through his skin instantly, and blood started to flow. But Johnnie ignored the wounds and started to use the Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art.

[Ding, your physical body has improved. Muscle strength +1, space power understanding +1]

[Ding, your physical body has improved. Muscle strength +1, space power understanding +1]

…

After a long time, Johnnie kept going deeper, taking in the damage from the spatial turbulence.

….

[Ding, your physical body has improved. Muscle strength +1, space power understanding +1]

[The Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art has reached level 9. Four basic stats +500,000]

[Ding, you have understood space power. You have mastered the Immortal Art of Spatial Compression.]

Immortal Art of Spatial Compression?

Johnnie quickly checked the message.

[Space Compression: Immortal Art, Special, cannot be upgraded. Use space power to ignore distance — take one step, and you can arrive anywhere within ten kilometers. Each use costs 5% of your spiritual power. The range depends on how well you understand space power.]

Johnnie’s eyes lit up with surprise. He hadn’t expected this trip to give him a new Immortal Art.

Right now, Seth and everyone else were inside The Map of Heaven and Earth. No one was giving him spiritual energy, so the full power of Spatial Compression wasn’t showing up yet.

But Johnnie could still use his Mana points to use the Immortal Art — it just wouldn’t be as strong.

He took a deep breath, raised his right foot, and took a step forward into empty space.

In an instant, the Johnnie on the Void Sword disappeared and appeared far away.

There was no sound, no rush of wind — it was completely silent.

It looked just like he had taken a normal step forward, but he was already where he wanted to go.

Of course, right now, the range of Spatial Compression was only ten kilometers.

But as Johnnie got better at understanding space power, the range would grow too.

Spatial Compression was actually perfect to use with the Evil-Slaying Thunder Sword.

Right now, Johnnie just wanted to leave the Dark Hollow Cave and find the remaining Six-Armed Demons to test how strong this new Immortal Art was.

He took a deep breath and asked Skye inside The Map of Heaven and Earth.”How long will this spatial turbulence last?”

“Don’t worry. At least for the next few decades, it won’t disappear. When a strong person who has mastered the Power of the Way dies, the leftover power can last a long time,” Skye answered.

Johnnie nodded. Now he could leave safely. The Six-Armed Demons outside weren’t a real threat to him, but they still posed some danger to Lisa and the Montemar Empire.

…

In the Dark Forest, Haldrem Empire.

Lisa was breathing heavily, staring intently at the Six-Armed Demons floating in the sky.

These guys were really strong. They didn’t fear her laws at all, and their physical defense was terrifying. Their attacks were also very fierce.

She didn’t know how Johnnie’s mission was going. If things kept going like this, she wouldn’t last much longer.

“Who would have thought? The one who ran away in a hurry last time is actually showing up again, causing trouble,” one of them said.

“Do you really think that human could stop Lord Borg?” another asked.

“Lord Borg is incredibly strong. And this time, maybe we can even wake up an even stronger master!” laughed a Six-Armed Demon.

As a member of the Six-Armed Demons, he knew that if they could wake up the sealed Lord Weston, they would get help from the Gluttonous Royal Clan.

Then, they could take over this world, get more resources, more land, and more beings to control!

Thinking about this, the Six-Armed Demon’s smile became even wider.

He laughed at Lisa and said, “Don’t worry. This time, you won’t get away.”

At once, the other Six-Armed Demons started moving. They flew toward Lisa and the other Divine Powerhouses of the Haldrem Empire.

Lisa looked completely hopeless. Her subordinates were no match for these demons at all.

At that moment, a calm voice came from far away:

“The Lord Borg you’re talking about will never come back.”

This sentence made all the Six-Armed Demons stop for a moment. They turned around, looking toward where the voice came from.

There, Johnnie was standing on his Void Sword, moving with great grace and lightness.

“Human? How did you come back again? Did you escape?” one of the demons didn’t believe a word of it.

Johnnie smiled slightly, said nothing more, and slowly raised his foot, taking a step forward.
