Chapter 1166: Inevitable Loneliness
?
In the periphery of the fog realm, as the sky gradually darkened, the already visually impaired fog realm plunged into complete darkness.
Within the fog realm, the night was pitch black.
The seemingly ordinary white fog completely obscured the light of the night stars in the sky, rendering the surroundings pitch black and completely devoid of visibility. It was utter darkness.
For an ordinary person in this place, their vision would have been completely nullified, unable to see anything around them, not even themselves.
Even for the Awakened, their perception was greatly hampered in this environment.
This was the frightening aspect of the white mist. Not only did it affect vision, but it also restricted the perception of any Awakened who entered it.
Liu Yan's perception was usually very acute. With his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, he could discern even the slightest detail within a radius of a thousand meters.
However, under the influence of this eerie white mist, Liu Yan's perception was limited to just a few dozen meters, barely reaching a hundred meters. Even within this small radius, Liu Yan could only sense things vaguely, unable to perceive anything.
Liu Yan's perception capability at this moment was not even one-tenth of its usual strength.
During daylight hours, Liu Yan could extend his perception range somewhat by using his SS- grade skill, Extraordinary Five Senses.
However, amidst the darkness of the night, Liu Yan was also significantly affected.
Coupled with the increased danger of the Wind Barrier at night, Liu Yan naturally refrained from taking any unnecessary risks.
Even though time was precious and urgent for Liu Yan and the entire Origin Territory, Liu Yan still had to temporarily stop here to rest.
Fortunately, Liu Yan found this small island before the sky completely darkened.
At that time, Liu Yan had already checked that this small island was only one or two kilometers away, it was a very small island, and there were no creatures on it, not even any plants. It was a completely deserted island, relatively safe, so Liu Yan decided to rest there for the night.
After settling down, Liu Yan refrained from lighting a fire as a precautionary measure. Instead, he opted to consume some simple dry rations.
At this moment, Liu Yan felt an overwhelming silence enveloping the entire world.
It was pitch black. He was unable to see anything around, not even himself, and in terms of hearing, there was also no sound to be heard.
After all, this was a solitary island, devoid of any living beings or plants, naturally, there were no sounds to be heard.
Even beyond the solitary island, within a relatively large area, Liu Yan had not previously discovered any living beings.
At that moment, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel incredibly calm inside.
Although surrounded by darkness and unable to see, Liu Yan remained unworried, trusting in his strength.
After undergoing the Divine Extraction process at the core of the Flaming Mountain, Liu Yan had already been elevated to the early stage of 24-star combat strength.
With such strength, he was undoubtedly an expert within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower.
Not to mention an ordinary territory, even the formidable Lakon Territory, ranked in the top 1000, was already considered top-tier. Even their lord, Lei Tianming, might not be able to match Liu Yan!
Of course, Liu Yan knew he wasn't invincible yet.
Above all, there were those territories ranked at the very top. Undoubtedly, there were even more powerful experts among them.
This was only the sixth level of the tower. Above this level, there were countless humans and creatures much stronger than Liu Yan.
Liu Yan still had a long journey ahead of him. There was still much room for his growth!
However, Liu Yan remained confident in his future.
After all, with a god-tier skill like SSS-grade Divine Extraction, the stronger he became, the faster Liu Yan could progress.
This meant that the further he advanced, the more formidable Liu Yan would become! At this moment, despite being alone, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a twinge of loneliness. During this time, he had been guiding the members of Team Origin to grow stronger and move forward in the Origin Territory. Though there were occasional challenges, now that he looked back, it seemed like everything was worth it. After all, fundamentally, humans were social beings. It was difficult to live alone, detached from the group.
Liu Yan couldn't help but miss Xu Han and the others. Led by Lu Dajiang and the other seniors, they had ventured into the fog realm.
"Were they successful? Had they encountered danger? Had their strength increased?" Liu Yan couldn't help but think.
Shaking his head, Liu Yan dismissed these thoughts. There was no need to dwell on distant matters. It was best to focus on his path first. Besides, worrying wouldn't change anything.
However, Liu Yan couldn't shake off the slight sense of loneliness.
With a mere thought, Liu Yan summoned his battle pets.
Several rays of light illuminated the area as Liu Yan's battle pets appeared, one after another.
First among them was the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, which had been by Liu Yan's side from the beginning. Originally a mere C-grade talent Wind Wolf, it had now evolved into an SS- grade talent Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf. With its two heads boasting different attributes, it was unclear whether they resembled wolf heads or dragon heads.
The Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf still retained its two-headed wolf appearance, but hints of dragon features had begun to emerge.
The horns on its heads were growing longer and larger, indicating they would eventually transform into full-fledged dragon horns.
Scales were gradually appearing on its body, hinting at the eventual growth into dragon scales.
As time passed, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf continued to mature and grow stronger. Its latent dragon bloodline would gradually awaken, manifesting more draconic characteristics.
It could be said that the talent of the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was currently extremely top-
notch.
Its talent was already at SS-grade, and it even possessed a dragon bloodline and talent.
If the opportunity was right, it might be able to completely activate the dragon bloodline within its body.
At that time, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf might grow into a real dragon, and its talent might also advance to SSS-grade!
Liu Yan seemed to be able to envision the day in the future when the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf would become a divine beast!
Just as Liu Yan's mind was filled with thoughts, the two heads of the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf stuck out their tongues and licked Liu Yan. They licked one side of Liu Yan's face until it was sticky, causing Liu Yan's entire face to become sticky.
Liu Yan immediately retracted his thoughts and helplessly touched the mischievous Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf. Then, he used his S-grade water attribute talent to condense water elemental power and instantly washed his face.
Looking at the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf in front of him enjoying being stroked, Liu Yan knew that no matter how normal it was, it was still the Wind Wolf that had been abandoned and pitifully followed Liu Yan. It had always been the Wind Wolf!
In addition, although the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was five to six meters tall and extremely
valiant.
However, in reality, it was only a little over a year old. It was still a young beast and had not yet reached adulthood.
The SS-grade talent of the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had not been fully activated yet. Its strength had not truly grown!
