Chapter 86: Chapter 71 His Hair (second update of three, seven thousand votes needed, one more update to come later)

Upon these words, Shaye’s expression instantly warped:

"The Void? Have you lost your mind?"

Shaye was acutely aware of how dangerous that place was. She couldn’t understand why Qin Chu suddenly wanted to explore the Void again. Could it be he was still under the influence of the contamination? But there were no signs of contamination on Qin Chu.

The Holy Light Technique had suppressed the contamination, which meant that this was purely Qin Chu’s own will.

Shaye’s exclamation caught Antia’s attention, but the girl only cast a curious glance, seemed slightly bored after a brief look, and then continued to gaze at the outside world.

This city felt very familiar to her, yet she couldn’t remember anything about it, which troubled Antia.

Realizing she might have overreacted, Shaye took a deep breath to steady herself and slowed her tone, "You do realize how dangerous that place is, don’t you?"

"I do," Qin Chu nodded, "But it’s possible to break free from there, isn’t it?"

"The Holy Light Technique, as well as the Light Seed and Life Seed mentioned by Miss Antia... these mysterious things that suddenly appeared on me, it’s very possible they came from the Void..."

Qin Chu’s face grew solemn; he indeed felt somewhat stimulated.

Stimulated by Antia.

After the Time Retrospection, Qin Chu had planned everything meticulously, and events were unfolding according to his schedule. Even if his strength was not sufficient, he was gradually accomplishing his goals.

However, the existence of Antia, who was not part of his plans, had greatly shocked Qin Chu, and he could not break through the mysterious domain she had created.

He thought he understood this world very well, but in reality, he only knew an extremely small fraction of it. There were countless unknowns in this world, and who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be other beings like Antia in the future.

Would he be so lucky next time?

No matter how comprehensive one’s schemes and deceptions are, absolute power is the true reliance, and an invincible force can crush all schemes.

Although his power was increasing rapidly, it still wasn’t enough. He needed to become faster, stronger!

And the method to enhance strength, firstly, was the Devourer.

But now, with guards all around Qin Chu, his movements were severely restricted, and he couldn’t act freely.

Secondly, it was Catherine.

However, Qin Chu wanted to see Catherine completely corrupted, and it seemed that success wasn’t far off. He didn’t want to disrupt the plan at this juncture. And while Catherine could give him a boost in power, the increase was very limited and could not satisfy Qin Chu’s demands.

Thirdly, it was the seven scrolls, it was the Void.

Compared to the other two methods, this was riskier, but Qin Chu felt that the rewards might also be the greatest.

That is, if he could glimpse the true mysteries within.

He paused, then spoke again, "Aren’t you guys here with me? Last time, from the moment I touched the scroll to when my body began to mutate, how much time passed?"

Shaye’s brows furrowed slightly: "About ten seconds..."

"Then, I’m relying on you. Don’t wait for ten seconds. At seven seconds, wake me up straight away," Qin Chu took a deep breath, then turned to Antia, "Miss Antia..."

Hearing her name called, Antia floated over, tilting her head curiously at Qin Chu, "What is it?"

Qin Chu explained to Antia as well, and she understood that her task was to wake Qin Chu up in a few seconds by using intense pain or something similar.

Qin Chu didn’t rush to touch the scroll; he spent a full two days getting himself into the optimal mental state.

Looking at the two people guarding him, Qin Chu felt somewhat at ease.

Under their watchful eyes, Qin Chu opened his storage ring and reached in. This time, he touched another scroll.

Hum...

Just like before, his mind was engulfed in a maelstrom, and his consciousness instantly arrived in the endless darkness of the Void.

This time, prepared, Qin Chu’s gaze swept across and saw only a huge cloud of dark red mist in the Void, perhaps even larger than the Oville Empire Imperial City. In the middle of the mist, was a massive rift that seemed to be its mouth, with countless grotesque, warty tentacles born around the mist.

Those tentacles were writhing, snatching meteors and asteroids from the Void.

In the middle of the rift, a distorted stream of air was also emitted, evolving into chains that extended to the ends of the Void.

Qin Chu’s consciousness did not linger on this weird existence for long; the entity within the cage was what he truly sought.

In this Void, the sense of time became very strange. Qin Chu felt as if his consciousness had been flying for an unknown length of time, yet to the outside world, it might have been merely a second.

Finally, Qin Chu saw the giant cage again.

It was still the churning fog, with countless twisted ghostly shadows writhing within, the pungent smell of blood, and the faint yet dizzying whispers and wails.

A wave of intense fear washed over him once more. Qin Chu knew that the mass of rolling dark red mist would soon detect his presence. In the next instant, he lunged towards the grey mist in front of him.

The densely packed cage, entwined with chains, seemed to sense Qin Chu’s arrival. The entire cage swelled instantly, accompanied by a creaking noise, and the chains wrapped around the cage tensed in an instant.
