Darkness, cold, deathly stillness…

The flying shuttle crumbled apart as parts of its wreckage floated in outer s.p.a.ce, colliding with each other before drifting toward different directions, never to meet again.

A human figure clad in micro mecha armor was in a stone sh.e.l.l, drifting in s.p.a.ce. The exterior of the sh.e.l.l was now coated with ice crystals, and there were no hints of an aura radiating from it.

Feng Lin used his Stonebirth Transformation to guard himself, defending against his own body pressure.

That’s right, human body pressure!

There wasn’t any pressure in the outer s.p.a.ce, but the pressure generated from the human body would squeeze one’s skin and bones, causing the cell structure to eventually break down as the body disintegrated.

Hence, once one entered the vacuum of s.p.a.ce, the reasons of death would never be because of the external environment; there was nothing there.

You were the one who killed yourself!

Feng Lin’s skin shone with a faint jade l.u.s.ter that enveloped him completely.

In the dark void of the universe, a long-unseen drama just unfolded.

Faraway, resplendent sparks could still be seen.

Although those escape pods were small, each of them was considered a small-scaled flying shuttle that was fully equipped with survivability and weapon functions. The pods clashed against the spirit lifeforms, causing a large-scale s.p.a.ce battle to unfold.

Laser, energy cannons, s.p.a.ce guided missiles…all sorts of scientific weapons blasted out, causing a brilliant array of fireworks to burst forth.

There were still human experts surrounding the three giant spirit lifeforms as they attacked frenziedly.

Occasionally, the aftershock would brush against one of the escape pods, causing sparks to generate in s.p.a.ce as the escape pod crumbled apart.

Those people inside immediately flew out, fighting against the spirit lifeforms as they tried to escape. Sadly, they suffered heavy casualties and the probability of survival was even less than 10%. Many died in the cruel outer s.p.a.ce.

Between races, there was naturally no room for mercy. It was a stark naked slaughter, and neither side would rest until the other was dead.

The cruelty of the universe had always been something everyone knew. But right now, Feng Lin was personally experiencing it.

Even the Great Wall University, one of the top ten universities would be targeted, and the newly accepted students had suffered major casualties.

If Feng Lin didn’t have some aces up his sleeve, he would truly have died in this cruel place.

The spirit lifeforms floated in s.p.a.ce, and they would occasionally swim here and there, searching through the wreckage for fish that might have slipped out of their nets.

Feng Lin retracted all his aura and was as unmoving as a rock.

To him, killing these smaller spirit lifeforms wasn’t difficult, but the moment he acted, he would instantly alert the entire hive.

In outer s.p.a.ce, he had no way to survive. He was different from the Spirit Race.

Luckily, even after searching for a long time, the spirit lifeforms could find no trace of his presence and they floated far away after that.

Feng Lin floated based on inertia, drifting further and further away.

The darkness was gradually pulled open as the light from stars shone, revealing an entirely unfamiliar area.

Feng Lin was alone. He completely had no idea where he drifted to.

In the absolute freezing outer s.p.a.ce, he had endured for far too long. Even his stone monkey body inside the Stonebirth Transformation wasn’t able to continue enduring. He was rapidly losing moisture. His skin, flesh, blood, and bones started to freeze.

He couldn’t wait any longer!

Feng Lin lifted his hand as a flash of light burst forth from a silver-colored ring. The s.p.a.ce before him warped as a flying shuttle unfolded. The flying shuttle’s door opened, directly swallowing Feng Lin within.

“The host is covered with radiation. Host’s life is in danger, beginning emergency treatment!”

The Flowerfruit Mountain shuttle instantly sounded out. Mechanical robots came by and carried Feng Lin to the life-saving cabin as vast amounts of oxygen and steam gushed forth.

Creak, creak~

His body started to defrost. Feng Lin’s stiff body began to regain its softness, but he still couldn’t move and was like a dead object.

After ten minutes, his chest finally heaved as he coughed out a breath that instantly turned to frost.

Cough, cough, cough…

He coughed repeatedly and started to gulp water to replenish the moisture he had lost.

How dangerous!

The line between life and death was just too terrifying!

This time, Feng Lin truly almost crossed the line.

The life tier of humanity was simply too low when compared to universe lifeforms.

Although cultivators could improve themselves bit by bit and upgrade their life tier, it was an extremely long and slow process.

Feng Lin was exposed to the outer s.p.a.ce environment when he was just at the elite cultivator realm. Although he had the micro mecha armor and a stone monkey body, as well as the protection issued by his Stonebirth Transformation, he was also grievously injured and almost lost his life.

He just recovered a little bit of his essence and before he had the time to sigh with relief, a warning sounded out.

“Warning! Warning! Discovered traces of spirit lifeforms. They are approaching us at an extremely fast speed of 10,000 km per second!”

They came so fast.

This patch of starry s.p.a.ce must be monitored by the spirit lifeforms and the instant the Flowerfruit Mountain flying shuttle appeared, they were immediately alerted.

This was still under the situation where Feng Lin intentionally concealed himself, trying to fool them.

At this moment, there was no time for other thoughts. Feng Lin commanded, “Open up a wormhole and flee at full speed!”

The Flowerfruit Mountain began its preparation; all of its energy was being utilized. It shot out an energy beam and opened a shocking, black-colored wormhole before slipping into it like a fish.

Behind the flying shuttle, millions of shadows were in pursuit.

The wormhole closed in the nick of time, blocking them out.

Feng Lin then crawled out from the life-saving cabin. He lay down with his forehead touching the ground, extremely exhausted.

The conflict between races in the universe was truly too terrifying.

This time, he s.n.a.t.c.hed his life back from the jaws of death. What a terrifying and harrowing experience!

But fortunately, he won in the end!

These spirit lifeforms slaughtered the geniuses of humanity. They clearly wanted to kill off humanity’s future.

He was really lucky to be able to escape safely.

The three giant spirit lifeforms and the majority of the weaker ones were drawn away by those people. This was why he had a chance to escape.

Within the wormhole tunnel, the starry scenes swiftly flashed past his eyes.

Feng Lin stood up with effort and began to input the coordinates of the Great Wall University as he intended to head there.

“Alert! There’s a large-scale energy fluctuation up ahead, the source might be from a giant spirit lifeform. It’s advisable to flee in other directions immediately.” The A.I. sent out a warning.

“What?” Feng Lin hurriedly glanced into the distance, and he could faintly make up the gigantic lifeform.

In a spatial tunnel constructed from pure energy, the giant spirit lifeform revealed its true appearance. Its body was as thick and long as a giant python, and seemed endlessly large. Numerous barbs could be seen on its head. Its maw was like the blossoming of a flower, opening and closing, as it let out roars of anger, wanting to smash everything before it into pieces.

“Flee in that direction!” Feng Lin commanded. At the next instant, his flying shuttle transformed into a beam of silver light that shot out with great speed.

The spirit python snarled and began to pursue Feng Lin.

But the Flowerfruit Mountain was as expected of something being constructed from peak-tier science and technology. Its speed was incomparably fast.

Although the python was very close behind, Feng Lin finally managed to shake it off after a while.

That spirit python must be a type of existence that was born naturally in wormholes. That place earlier might be its nest.

To prevent it from catching up, Feng Lin decisively commanded the flying shuttle to leave the wormhole.

At this moment, this patch of starry s.p.a.ce where he appeared in was completely unfamiliar. He didn’t recognize any of the stars here at all.

(Where am I?)

Feng Lin’s heart sank.

He was officially lost!
