Chaos Crystal - 70

Yet another 10 years quickly passed. In that time, Zhou Fan broke into the 5th level of void traversing. His speed could now be compared to light.

The beasts had broken into the 9th level of core formation while Din Ren broke into the 5th level.

When Zhou Fan left his room, he first tested his new speed. As he sped up, the surrounding space began to warp and in a second, he traveled around the world 3 times.

When Zhou Fan stopped, he couldn't help but feel astonished. As he was moving at the speed of light, everything seemed to stop existing.

At first, the only thing he could see was light itself moving alongside him. As soon as he focused his eyes, however, he was able to once again see the scenery.

With his current level, he didn't follow the laws of physics. Even though a normal human and even other cultivators below his realm would need light to see, he had transcended that.

Since he was scared he might destroy the world, Zhou Fan didn't test his strength.

With a sigh, Zhou Fan looked at the stars. It was clear that he would need to leave the world at some point. Not only was it too weak, but Zhou Fan was actually a danger to it.

Perhaps the next time he breaks through, he will release a bit of energy. Although miniscule, that bit of energy could cause mass destruction.

In fact, the only thing stopping Zhou Fan from leaving was his speed. Although he could move at the speed of light, that wasn't even close to fast enough to go to another solar system.

He had considered moving to another planet in his solar system, but earth was the only one. All that remained was an asteroid belt circling the sun.

After some brief consideration, Zhou Fan decided to leave for the asteroid belt as soon as he said his goodbyes. After that, he would move into the vast universe. There was a high chance that once he left, everyone would be dead once he came back.

Even if they kept cultivating, there was a limit to their ability, or rather, Zhou Fans. With his current strength, he could only create a Qi producing array that would allow them to get to soul formation. After that, their cultivation speed would be horrifyingly slow. Perhaps a single small realm would take a hundred thousand years. By then they would already be dead.

With a single step, Zhou Fan disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared next to the beasts. Although they weren't gathered before, Zhou Fan gathered them all up in that single step.

He also brought along Din Ren and the other talents. Each of them had become successful in the last 20+ years.

Besides Din Ren, the other talents had managed to break into core formation not long ago.

"I will be leaving soon." Zhou Fan said.

Before they could react, he continued.

"It will be a long time before we see each other again. In fact, we may never see each other again." He said.

He paused after he said that, giving them time to react.

"What?!" Din Ren blurted out. Zhou Fan's words were too sudden and unbelievable.

The other talents couldn't believe it either. To think that he could deliver them such saddening news with such an impassive look on his face.

The beasts, on the other hand, had sad looks on their faces. They knew that Zhou Fan wouldn't lie.

Looking at the beast's faces, Zhou Fan almost clenched his fist. In the end, he simply let a sigh out.

Even with all his experience, he couldn't help but feel sad seeing the looks on their faces.

"I'll be right back." Zhou Fan suddenly said. He then disappeared before everyone's eyes.

The students and the beasts looked where he once stood with dumbfounded expressions.

'What is going on?' They all thought in unison.

------------------

8 minutes later, Zhou Fan stood in front of the sun.

'This should be far enough.' He thought. As he was feeling helpless about the beast's sadness, an idea came to his mind.

The main reason that Zhou Fan knew they were going to die was because they couldn't split Qi.

Only those with Chaos Qi could do it. Since there was no one with Chaos Qi besides him, there was no way for them to grow further than soul formation.

Unless Zhou Fan's power was still there.

What if he managed to take a part of his powers and let them use it to split Qi in the future. In that case, they could simply make better arrays and use his power to activate it.

Therefore, Zhou Fan went out to the sun in order to try to take part of his power and crystalize it, which would let it be put in a Qi splitting formation.

Since he anticipated fluctuations in his power, he had moved out here. Otherwise, he may accidentally destroy the planet.

Zhou Fan put his hand in a grabbing motion in the air. His hands were shaped as if he was grabbing an invisible spirit stone. Suddenly, Qi began to pour from the void. Since he didn't bother to split it, it came out in its pure form. Chaos Qi.

With all his power, Zhou Fan controlled Chaos Qi to take the shape of a crystal. After 10 or so minutes, the Chaos Qi had formed a basic outline. Even so, the storm of Chaos Qi was still raging on.

If he had moved too close to the sun, it may have very well been injured by the endless Chaos Qi.

Suddenly, Zhou Fan removed one of his hands from the crystal and shoved his fingers into his heart.

He coughed blood out, but kept reaching his fingers in. He amalgamated some of his cultivation and blood essence within him to form a bead on his fingertips. As soon as the bead was successfully formed, Zhou Fan hurriedly shoved it into the Chaos crystal.

BOOM!

An explosion that could even be heard in space sounded out, sending a godly power to the surroundings.

Just as soon as it came, it went, absorbed into the crystal in Zhou Fan's hands.
