Resolving a dimensional descent also came with significant benefits.
Boom.
Boom!
As the two were conversing, a massive roar echoed.
In the next moment, illusory images appeared in the void.
The images depicted a desolate land, with a towering tree reaching into the clouds, its roots spreading throughout the entire world.
At the same time, a shadowy figure flickered in and out of view.
Its appearance was unclear, but a terrifying aura was emanating from it.
"Whoa!"
It was indeed Fourth Tier, Tang Junkai took a deep breath, his expression becoming grave.
Although he was at the Fourth Tier, he was only at the initial stage.
Whether he could handle it was something even he wasn't too sure about. But at this moment, he had no choice but to face it head-on; he had to stabilize the dimensional descent.
Otherwise, if the existence of the dimensional descent reached the outside world, it could potentially turn into a dimensional invasion.
That would lead to significant trouble.
Tang Junkai stepped forward, In the next moment, his form began to change, his original shape towering higher, and pitch-black wings spread out behind him.
A dark aura began to radiate around him, and his hair gradually turned purple.
"Boom!"
Energy surged, and in an instant, Tang Junkai shot up into the sky, heading towards the distance. At that moment, a powerful force enveloped him. He had instantly crossed into the Fourth Tier.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He was familiar with Tang Junkai's appearance, but according to what he knew, there shouldn't be Fourth Tier individuals at this level.
However, Jiang Chen quickly recalled what Tang Junkai had previously explained.
His expression turned contemplative.
And just at that moment, in the distance,
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A massive roar echoed again.
In the next moment, the surrounding world rapidly transformed.
The original space morphed into a wild expanse, with a massive divine tree appearing at the center.
The shadowy figure also solidified at that instant.
When Jiang Chen finally saw the figure clearly, his expression froze.
"It's him!"
He murmured, looking once more at the massive tree.
…
The colossal divine tree loomed majestically in the barren landscape, while a figure floated serenely in mid-air, clad in a flowing white haori. His hair was gathered atop his head, with a long braid cascading down his back. Beneath his left eye, the Roman numeral IV was tattooed, and a black diamond-shaped mark adorned his chin.
He sported red bands around his neck and wrists, black nail polish, a black crystal embedded in his abdomen, a red belt cinched at his waist, and red earrings dangling from his ears.
As he materialized, a formidable aura radiated throughout the dimension.
"Humans, such a pitiful race!" The figure murmured, his gaze swiftly shifting to the approaching figure.
In an instant, his right eye widened dramatically as black vertical lines twisted within his pupils.
Suddenly, massive black cubes manifested around Tang Junkai, who was soaring in from afar. The moment these cubes appeared, they plummeted toward him.
"Not good!"
"Whoosh!"
Tang Junkai's expression shifted, and in the blink of an eye, the black wings sprouting from his back flapped vigorously, propelling him forward with incredible speed.
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
The enormous black cubes crashed down to the ground. Hearing the thunderous impacts behind him, beads of sweat began to form on Tang Junkai's brow.
The overwhelming presence made it clear that being struck by those cubes would have been catastrophic.
"Such an impressive speed! Now, let's see how quick your reflexes are!" The figure in mid-air spoke with a calm demeanor.
In the next heartbeat, power surged in his eyes.
"Thud!"
Tang Junkai's expression shifted, but he had no time to react as a sharp sound pierced the air as three black rods suddenly impaled his right wing.
"Ahhh!"
With a cry, he plummeted from the sky.
"Crash!"
He hit the ground hard and Tang Junkai's face drained of color.
His gaze instinctively darted to his right wing. At that moment, three black rods were embedded in it, bright red blood oozing from the wounds.
"Too slow! Even with an extraordinary physique, humans remain feeble." In mid-air, the figure stepped forward, his expression unflinching as he regarded Tang Junkai before turning his attention back to the distant horizon.
"You scoundrel." Tang Junkai couldn't suppress his anger. An aura surged within him, and a dark energy spiraled upward, flowing into the black rods embedded in his wing.
"Bang! Bang!"
The black rods fell away, and the dark aura enveloped him, rapidly mending the injury.
Though his face remained pale, Tang Junkai stood tall, his expression grave as he focused ahead.
In just a brief skirmish, he had already sensed the terror of his opponent.
The only solace was that the adversary appeared to be at the early Fourth Tier, not yet reaching the mid Fourth Tier.
At least he still had a fighting chance.
"Boom!"
The figure ascended into the air once more.
"You really never learn, do you?" From a distance, the figure looked on, his words dripping with mockery, and in the next moment, a dark energy began to envelop him.
With the addition of swirling black stripes, the energy around him surged dramatically.
"This! What is happening?" Tang Junkai, who had just taken to the sky, felt his expression shift in alarm.
At that moment, the energy emanating from the figure was already dangerously close to the mid Fourth Tier.
"Too slow!"
The words were delivered with chilling calm and in the next instant, a massive cube materialized above Tang Junkai's head.
"Boom!"
The cube crashed down, a deafening rumble echoing through the air.
Not far away, above the figure,
"Whoosh!"
Tang Junkai appeared in an instant, his face even paler than before.
In his right hand, he wielded a black longsword, slashing down toward the figure.
However, in the blink of an eye, the figure before him vanished without a trace and Tang Junkai's pupils dilated in shock.
In the next heartbeat, a black figure descended once more.
This time, he had nowhere to evade.
"Boom!"
The massive cube crashed down, pinning him beneath its weight.
…
Inside the spaceship,
"Dad, Mom! Stay put and don't go outside for now! I'm going to help!" Jiang Chen declared.
"Xiao Chen, is it going to be dangerous?"
"Yeah, Xiao Chen!"
Yang Lihua and Jiang Huaqing exchanged worried glances.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Jiang Chen reassured them, and in the next moment, he activated his teleportation, vanishing from sight.
In the distance, beneath the colossal divine tree,
"Boom!"
The massive cube was suddenly sent flying.
"Cough, Cough!"
Tang Junkai struggled to rise, his black wings retracted, returning him to his previous form, but he looked utterly battered.
His aura flickered erratically, and he was covered in wounds.
"Are you alright?!" Jiang Chen asked in a concerned voice.
"I'm fine, I won't die from this."
"Thanks for your help."
"But this guy is incredibly strong; his abilities seem to allow him to manipulate the size of objects. You need to be cautious."
Tang Junkai replied with a serious expression on his face.
