Utilizing the power of the Heart of the Angel, Qian Renxue projected a golden barrier that enveloped the three of them, shielding them from the corrosive effects of the Void power. Lin Mo unleashed his Dragon Might to intimidate the surrounding Void monsters, while Zhao Feng gripped his battle axe tightly, remaining on high alert for any sudden movements, ready to react to potential dangers at a moment's notice.
After traveling for about a day, the trio arrived at the very center of the Void Desert—the location of the entrance to the Void Space. The entrance was a massive black maelstrom. Dense Void power permeated the swirling vortex, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression that instinctively struck fear into the hearts of anyone who looked at it. Numerous powerful Void monsters prowled around the edges of the vortex. They were the guardians of the Void Space—vast in number and formidable in strength. To even approach the entrance, they would first have to cut their way through these creatures.
"It looks like getting into the Void Space won't be easy," Zhao Feng said, frowning as he surveyed the surrounding monsters.
Lin Mo nodded, a resolute light shining in his eyes. "No matter how difficult it is, we have to break through. These Void monsters are just small fry from the Void Space. We can definitely defeat them, reach the entrance, and permanently seal the Void's forces."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath. The Angel Scepter in her hand blazed with dazzling golden light, and the Heart of the Angel radiated a dense sacred aura. "Exactly. Let's move together and take these monsters down as quickly as possible. We can't afford to waste any time and let unforeseen complications arise."
As soon as the words left her mouth, the three sprang into action. Qian Renxue swung the Angel Scepter, firing streak after streak of golden Angelic Light at the monsters. The light carried immense sacred power and acted as a lethal bane to the creatures. Struck by the light, the Void monsters instantly shrieked in agony, their bodies melting rapidly into black mist that dissipated into the air.
Flapping his pale-blue soul wings, Lin Mo surged with Dragon Power, unleashing a barrage of dragon-shaped sword auras that charged into the horde. The auras carried the overwhelming might of dragons. Upon impact, the Void monsters were instantly shattered into nothingness.
Zhao Feng tightly gripped his battle axe as his soul power and Power of Faith erupted wildly. He swung his weapon, unleashing axe auras imbued with a sacred glow. The sheer force of his strikes easily cleaved through the Void monsters, reducing them to dust.
Working in perfect harmony, the trio launched a relentless assault on the surrounding horde. Although the Void monsters were numerous and powerful, all three fighters were at the absolute pinnacle of the Title Douluo realm. Bolstered by the power of the Heart of the Angel, the creatures stood absolutely no chance against them. The battle raged for about two hours until every single Void monster in the vicinity was slaughtered, their bodies dissolving into black mist that vanished into the void.
Having cleared the area, the trio stepped up to the entrance of the Void Space. The black maelstrom radiated a terrifying sense of oppression as a constant stream of Void power seeped out, corroding everything in its proximity.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath. "Everyone, are you ready? The moment we step through that entrance, we will face enemies far more powerful than these. There is a very real chance we might not make it back alive."
Lin Mo and Zhao Feng exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting unwavering resolve. "We're ready! To protect this world and to completely eradicate the threat of the Void, we are willing to pay any price!"
Qian Renxue nodded. She raised the Angel Scepter high into the air. The Heart of the Angel blazed with dazzling golden light. She channeled her internal Angelic Power, fusing it completely with the Heart's energy, and fired a colossal golden beam directly into the black maelstrom. Simultaneously, Lin Mo and Zhao Feng channeled their own strength. Their Dragon Power and Power of Faith intertwined with the energy of the Heart of the Angel, converging into a massive tri-colored beam that blasted into the vortex alongside Qian Renxue's attack.
Boom!
The golden beam and the tri-colored beam struck the maelstrom in unison. The black vortex convulsed violently, and deep fissures tore across its surface. The torrent of Void power spilling from within slowed to a crawl.
"Now's our chance!" Qian Renxue shouted. "Let's go! We need to enter the Void Space, find its core, and seal it away forever!"
With that, the three leaped into the black vortex in unison. Inside the maelstrom, it was pitch black—so dark they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces. The concentration of Void power was suffocating, relentlessly gnawing at their physical bodies. Qian Renxue instantly channeled the power of the Heart of the Angel, projecting a golden barrier around the trio to shield them from the corrosive Void energy.
After navigating the chaotic vortex for about half an hour, the trio finally emerged into the Void Space proper. The interior was an absolute wasteland, entirely devoid of life. The sky was black, the ground was black, and the air was saturated with a heavy, oppressive Void power. In the distance loomed a colossal black palace. Dense waves of Void power pulsed from its peak. It was undeniably the core of the Void Space—the very place where the sovereigns of the Void were imprisoned.
The trio advanced cautiously toward the black palace, remaining on high alert for any anomalies. The depths of the Void Space harbored monsters far more powerful than those on the outside, as well as mighty soul beasts that had been corrupted by the Void. These entities served as the vanguard for the Void sovereigns, tasked with guarding the core.
After another hour of trekking, they reached the gates of the black palace. Standing guard at the entrance were two gigantic Void monsters. Towering over ten metres in height, they were wreathed in thick black mist that radiated a terrifying aura. Their strength far surpassed any of the monsters they had faced outside; they were at the absolute pinnacle of the Title Douluo realm.
"Insolent humans! How dare you trespass into the Void Space! You seek death!" The voices of the two guardians were low and majestic, dripping with malice as they launched their attack. In unison, they swept their massive arms. Countless towering black tentacles erupted from their bodies, lunging at the trio. The tentacles pulsed with unimaginable Void power, moving at blinding speeds. In their wake, the very fabric of space was corroded, leaving jagged tears in reality.
"Watch out!" Qian Renxue shouted. The Angel Scepter in her hand flared with blinding golden light as she projected a massive golden barrier to shield them.
Boom!
The black tentacles slammed into the golden barrier. The shield convulsed violently as cracks rapidly spread across its surface, but it held firm. Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, channeling her Angelic Power and the power of the Heart of the Angel to relentlessly reinforce the barrier.
Lin Mo and Zhao Feng moved at the exact same time.
