Loss

Looking at the two little foxes floating in the air, a somewhat bitter smile appeared on the face of the nine-tailed fox, but even so, the two foxes quickly flew towards it.

As it stared at the two foxes, a sigh escaped from the mouth of the old fox, a few moments later, the nine-tailed fox disappeared alongside the two little foxes.

...

Staring at Hulli Jing, who was majestically floating in the air, a smile appeared on the face of the nine tailed fox, but suddenly, the nine tailed fox began flying away from Hulli Jing at high speed.

"What in the world," mumbled the fox as it felt space itself begin melting around her.

As the Three Thousand Regions is an extremely powerful world, it's space is extremely solid, causing the most used transportation method to become flying, as without taking into account abnormal beings, very few people below the realm of Dao Saint could control space at all.

But at this moment, but at this very moment, that very same solid space was quickly melting, as it began flowing towards Hulli Jing.

As it flew away, the nine-tailed fox, Hulli Ming discovered that in fact, she was not getting any further away from Hulli Jing at all, as the space behind her being quickly absorbed by Hulli Jing, leading to a very embarrassing situation.

Only a few months later did Hulli Ming become capable of truly getting further away from Hulli Jing, as her speed of absorbing space began slowing down, but even so, right now Hulli Ming was way too embarrassed to say anything to her granddaughter.

Suddenly, the silver eight-tailed fox that was floating in the air began transforming into it's human form, one that Xu Yue was very familiar with.

Looking at the world around her, a small smile appeared on Hulli Jing's face, causing her to suddenly snap her fingers.

A moment later, the space in the surroundings hundreds of Li around Hulli Jing began collapsing, prompting her to once again snap her fingers.

Without any warning, the space, which had collapsed was suddenly rebuilt, being the exact same as before.

Before Hulli Ming could react, Hulli Jing appeared right in front of her face, causing an extremely surprised expression to appear on her face.

'Just this speed should be enough to kill ordinary Dao Saints,' thought Hulli Ming as she stared at her granddaughter without being able to say any words.

"Grandmother, can you take me to that place?" asked Hulli Jing as she stared at her grandmother with no expression being visible on her face.

Hearing Hulli Jing's question, Hulli Ming nodded.

"Although It's hidden, it's not far away from here, I made it here so that it would be convenient for me to go to," said Hulli Ming as she quickly began flying in a particular direction.

In only a moment, both Hulli Ming and Hulli Jing traveled over ten thousand Li, appearing over a small valley.

But as the two of them approached it, the small valley suddenly began shifting, becoming an open field with a large oak tree in it's middle.

Seeing this, Hulli Jing flew over towards the tree, being followed by Hulli Ming, who at some point, had also transformed into her human form.

Staring at the two small tombstones under the tree, which had the inscriptions Hulli Chen and Hong Chen on them, Hulli Jing couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, taking a small flower and putting it next to the grave.

After a few moments, Hulli Jing began paying respects to the graves even though her mother's body was not actually inside

Seven days later,

The moment seven days passed, Hulli Jing got up and then disappeared, as if she no longer wanted to be here, leaving her grandmother to stand alone in front of the grave, staring at the small flower.

Unaware of what had happened to Hulli Jing, Xu Yue kept practicing in seclusion, no longer bothering to divine anything about the outside world.

Time continued to pass, day after day, month after month, year after year, and eventually, time became somewhat meaningless.

After innumerable years, even the least talented cultivator would slowly but surely increase in power, by virtue of sheer accumulation.

As such, one normal day, Xu Yue suddenly opened her eyes, letting out a deep breath before closing them again.

Although the world was unaware of it at that moment, on that fateful day, Xu Yue finally reached the Dao Saint realm, after over twenty thousand years of seclusion.

Unlike the breakthroughs of most cultivators, nothing seemed to show Xu Yue's breakthrough, it was as if this breakthrough was something completely natural and expected.

After twenty thousand years of seclusion, Xu Yue was not in much of a hurry to exit, as such, after closing her eyes, she once again began focusing on cultivation.

...

Two hundred years later,

Suddenly, Xu Yue opened her eyes, and a furious expression appeared on her face as she felt something happen.

Quickly, various images flashed before Xu Yue's eyes as she used the power of the dao of Fate to it's maximum, trying to find out what happened.

After a few moments, Xu Yue's expression changed again, mere moments after that, a space crack appeared behind her, causing her to jump into it.

...

As she flew through the air, Xu Lanfeng suddenly slightly adjusted it's trajectory, before arriving next to Xu Yue in only a few moments.

'The Dao of Fate is really convenient,' thought Xu Lanfeng as appeared next to Xu Yue, although, in pure speed, she was far superior to Xu Yue, in terms of traveling long distances, the Dao of Fate was perhaps even superior to the Dao of Space, as Fate itself would lead them to their destination.

...

Ignoring Xu Lanfeng's arrival, Xu Yue simply stared at the hole that seemed to stretch out infinity, while at the same time, sensing the Dao's of the Three Thousand regions.

"Although it's weakened, it looks like it's still there," mumbled Xu Yue, feeling the Dao of Snow with her spiritual sense, while at the same time, staring at the enourmous hole, which had replaced the Snow Region.

In only a mere moment, an entire Region, equivalent to almost half of a normal Major World had fully disappeared, being annihilated from existence alongside all of it's inhabitants.
