Chapter 329: 0328 Anti-black hole

The challenge match was temporarily suspended for an hour, an unprecedented occurrence in the history of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament.

As time passed by minute by second, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Twelve Heavenly Guardians Formation, with some hoping Ye Qiu would appear, while others cursed him to fall eternally into the endless void.

Time seemed long, even excruciating.

"Is he dead?" Shangguan Mingyue couldn’t bring herself to believe this outcome.

Shangguan Dao was silent, although he disliked Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu had after all saved his grandfather’s life, and he still owed him three favors yet to be fulfilled.

"What a waste of time, delaying the challenge match!" some grumbled dissatisfactorily.

The voices of discussion never ceased, and as more than half an hour passed, those who hoped for Ye Qiu’s appearance gradually lost the sparkle in their eyes.

"Brother Ye Qiu will be fine, he won’t... he always turns danger into safety, and this time will be the same." Even as Ye Zi’s heart sank, she still murmured to herself, expecting a miracle to happen.

...

Ye Qiu’s entire body was in pain, feeling as if he was being torn apart.

He opened his eyes and saw his body continuously spinning, with a force drawing him in, pulling him bit by bit toward it.

Ye Qiu looked down and saw a space filled with darkness; as his body’s rotation intensified, he drew ever closer to that black space.

"What’s this..." Ye Qiu hadn’t expected that Sun Ziyan’s strike would create such a terrifying spectacle.

In Ye Qiu’s mind flashed the image of Sun Ziyan’s black fist coming directly at him, and in that instant, Ye Qiu had shrouded his body in True Qi.

Ye Qiu’s idea was to use the defense of his True Qi shield to resolve the opponent’s attack.

But then, he found that the True Qi shield had failed; facing Sun Ziyan’s eerie punch, it suddenly broke through the void and a huge storm surged in through the crack, whisking him up and spinning him in mid-air.

Unable to borrow strength from anywhere, Ye Qiu’s actions were hindered, and he tried to break free from this storm emerging from the black void. However, despite multiple efforts, he couldn’t succeed, for the storm was too powerful.

"I’ve used up too much True Qi!" Ye Qiu instantly checked the True Qi in his Dantian, which was depleting rapidly.

In his exchange with Sun Ziyan, it seemed he hadn’t used up this much True Qi; he carefully felt the True Qi in his Dantian, which was still surging outwards. Ye Qiu realized where the strangeness lay.

The storm was absorbing his True Qi.

Ye Qiu’s expression changed; if he didn’t get out quickly, he might be completely devoured by the storm.

This was a bottomless pit!

Realizing the severity of the situation, Ye Qiu no longer had the mind to ponder over the strength of Sun Ziyan’s boxing technique, and his only thought was to survive and get out of here.

An intense desire to live quickly calmed Ye Qiu down.

As his body continued to spin, Ye Qiu felt the world spinning around him, his head dizzy and throbbing. He widened his eyes, staring at the surrounding storm, and suddenly, an idea struck him. If this was a storm, then its center must be calm, because it is the eye of the storm, the safest place.

To reach the center was to survive, to grasp a thread of hope.

Ignoring the dizziness in his head, Ye Qiu tried to move toward the center, but the storm’s rotation was too fast, and without anything to leverage, he couldn’t move and could only spin with the storm’s vortex.

Just as Ye Qiu felt disheartened, suddenly there was a tremor in the storm, as if an external force was striking it, and the vortex momentarily shook.

Ye Qiu didn’t know it was the True Qi from predecessors like Qian Zhen and Elder Jin that had struck the storm when they made their move at the beginning, but his eyes flashed with hope of survival. Relaxing his body, he positioned himself at the point of the external force’s strike and instantly shot out a burst of True Qi. Most of it was quickly absorbed, but a part simultaneously hit the point of the external attack.

"Perfect!"

Feeling a force from the tremor, Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up, thinking he had succeeded. Immediately leveraging the rebounding force, his body suddenly broke free from the vortex, and in an instant, he jumped down, standing at the center point.

Suddenly, the world was quiet, immediately turning calm.

Ye Qiu stood at the center of the storm, with the spinning storm vortex around him, and a black hole gradually shrinking. But it was still pulling at Ye Qiu, trying to drag him into it.

Ye Qiu was shocked. If he was pulled in, he feared he might never return.

He recognized that the black hole might lead to the endless universe.

A living person, if suddenly thrown into space, the result was imaginable. Ye Qiu certainly didn’t want to drift in the boundless universe, doomed to die of hunger or loneliness.

Fortunately, the black hole was gradually shrinking. All he needed to do was to resist this pulling force.

Ye Qiu mobilized the remaining True Qi in his body, transforming it into a huge True Qi hand, and fiercely gripped the ground to keep himself from moving.

Outside the Twelve Heavenly Stars Great Array, during the anxious hour that everyone else waited, Ye Qiu exerted all his strength, desperately resisting the suction of the black hole.

Ye Qiu had already spent a substantial part of his True Qi, making it even scarcer now. Thankfully, as he resisted the pressure, the black hole also gradually shrank as if a force were automatically repairing the void, causing the black hole to disappear.

Hiss...

Ye Qiu’s body slipped, taking a large step forward, bringing him closer to the black hole.

His True Qi was about to run out!

A jolt went through Ye Qiu’s heart. The huge True Qi hand formed from his Ruyi True Qi also began to shrink, turning into a smaller True Qi hand, helping him combat the black hole.

Although the black hole was shrinking, Ye Qiu didn’t show any sign of joy because his True Qi was about to be completely depleted, and soon he would be utterly unable to resist this immense attractive force.

The True Qi hand shrank once more, and Ye Qiu slid out two steps closer, now only two steps away from the black hole.

It’s over!

Ye Qiu could feel his True Qi hand hold out for at most ten more breaths. Once those ten breaths were over, he would be without any strength to borrow.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The True Qi hand became smaller and finer, even starting to show cracks, it was about to disperse.

Hiss...

He slid one more step, now only a step away from the black hole. The next moment, he feared he might be pulled into it.

Huh?

As Ye Qiu focused on the black hole, he noticed several shiny objects on the ground, resembling pebbles, right at the mouth of the black hole, merely an inch away.

What are those?

Ye Qiu stared at the sparkling objects similar to diamonds, astonishingly feeling an energy emanating from them.

"It’s now or never!"

At that moment, Ye Qiu’s True Qi hand broke off. As he was being pulled by the black hole, he bent down, instinctively picking up a crystal-clear pebble.

The moment it was in his hand, Ye Qiu’s eyes brightened. Half of his body had already been pulled into the hole, but he suddenly extended his hand, and a stream of True Qi, once again formed a huge hand, and he fiercely dug into the ground. With that, he leapt out of the black hole.

And at that moment, the black hole vanished instantly.

Ye Qiu gasped for air, staring at the spot where the black hole had disappeared, his heart still racing.

That was close, too close. If he was a second slower, he would probably have vanished along with the black hole!

Then, Ye Qiu spread open his palm, looking at the crystal pebble that had just saved his life.

What exactly is this?
