Chapter 71: Leaving - 71
Zhou Fan looked at the crystal. It was completely gray and extremely beautiful.
As for Zhou Fan, he was currently pale and seemingly injured. With a closer look, it could be seen that his cultivation went down! His previous state of void traversing 5 had turned into void traversing 4!
Zhou Fan didn't care about the slight decrease in cultivation. He had expected that much before he started. In fact, he had expected it to be a little worse.
Zhou Fan disappeared from his spot and reappeared back at the academy. Due to the decrease in cultivation, the journey took him 30 minutes instead of the previous eight.
Even so, Zhou Fan was too excited to care about the little things. Without stopping, he gathered the beasts and the talented students.
Zhou Fan told them to make the best Qi producing array possible. Although confused, they didn't hesitate long before they got to work.
Since arrays were the most popular category of study, everyone in the room knew at least a little. Chen Zi had even become the greatest master of arrays in the academy besides Zhou Fan himself.
With him leading the charge, an incredible Qi producing array was created in an hour.
However, it couldn't produce Qi. Although they had made the structure, they lacked the ability to split Chaos Qi. Just as they were about to ask why Zhou Fan had them do this, Zhou Fan placed the crystal in the middle of the array.
With the addition of the crystal, Chaos Qi started to pour into the array. It took a path through the array and eventually went into the Chaos crystal.
When it came out the other side, it was no longer Chaos Qi, but more absorbable Qi's. Although the array wasn't strong enough to support every type of Qi or produce an amount similar to Zhou Fans, it marked a starting point for other cultivators.
Not to mention, they would naturally be able to make stronger Qi producing arrays as they studied deeper and grew in cultivation.
As for the Chaos crystal, it didn't seem to be used up at all. After all, Zhou Fan even sacrificed his cultivation to create it.
Instead of a Spirit Stone, it acted like an artifact. As long as there were spirit stones to power it, it would work until it decayed.
Speaking of spirit stones, Zhou Fan also taught them how to make them. It was a quick and easy process for someone at their level.
With that, all that was left to do was say goodbye. Although they may not die now, it would still be a long time before Zhou Fan ever sees them again. He didn't plan to come back within a hundred thousand years if he didn't need to.
After hugging the beasts, Zhou Fan silently disappeared from the academy. It would be a long time before anyone outside of those 10 found out he left.
--------------------
After an hour-long journey, Zhou Fan made it to the meteor belt. He found a fairly big meteor and sat on top of it. This would be where he cultivated until he gained enough speed to leave the solar system without traveling for a thousand years.
The view from the meteor was nice. The scene of the huge sun next to the earth that was tiny in proportion was beautiful.
After staring at it for a while, Zhou Fan closed his eyes and began to cultivate. It took 5 years to regain his previous cultivation level of void traversing 5.
It took another 7 years to break into the 6th level, and 9 more to break into the 7th.
Even with the constant increase in strength, Zhou Fan was no more confident in his speed.
It took 10 more years to break into the 8th level. By now, Zhou Fan was more than a hundred times faster than light.
It took 23 more years to break into the 10th level of void traversing.
Although excited for another realm, Zhou Fan knew it would take a long time. He took one more look at the sun and earth before he went back into seclusion.
-------------------------
60 years passed in what seemed like a blink of an eye to Zhou Fan.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan's eyes shot open as an immense power poured out of him. His full strength was uncontrollably released as space itself started to shake.
After a minute, space stopped shaking. Instead, it started to crack! Zhou Fan's power was destroying space!
Within seconds, the meteor below him was grounded to dust. In a minute, half of the meteor belt was gone. Gravity itself was broken as the meteors started to hurl away from their previous path. Just before the entire meteor belt was destroyed, Zhou Fan was able to reign in his power.
The cracking space and shaking solar system stopped breaking in an instant. With a sigh of relief, Zhou Fan thought back to how he almost didn't leave earth.
If he had chosen to stay, his breakthrough just now would have destroyed the world. His power was that strong!
Instead of thinking for too long, Zhou Fan checked his breakthrough. His power had increased a hundred times compared to his power in the 10th level of void traversing.
Even so, he wasn't sure that he was fast enough.
Standing up, Zhou Fan decided to test it. In an instant, he disappeared from where he stood and appeared on top of the sun. To his surprise, he could now travel to any place in the solar system in less than a second.
Suddenly, an idea came to Zhou Fan's mind. Remembering how he had cracked space with his breakthrough, he wanted to try to do it himself.
Getting in a punching stance, Zhou Fan powered up his punch before punching out with all his power upwards.
Space cracked instantly as a sort of suction force started to suck Zhou Fan in. Unfortunately for it, he was able to resist it with ease.
The same couldn't be said for the sun, however. Zhou Fan quickly waved his hand and used Space Qi to meld the crack in space.
'Wait!' Zhou Fan thought. 'Did I just use space Qi?'
Chapter 72: Space Shattering - 72
Excited by his discovery, Zhou Fan attempted to control the space Qi which he had always been unable to control before.
Zhou Fan held his hand out with his palm facing upwards and tried to gather space Qi on it.
Space Qi split off from Zhou Fans Chaos Qi and for the first time he was able to move it. Zhou Fan then formed a ball of Space Qi in his hand.
He was finally able to get a close look at it. Although he had seen space Qi plenty of times before, it was different when you were holding it in the palm of your hand.
Zhou Fan controlled the space Qi and had it move around in front of him. Unlike elements like fire, it didn't have a prefered form. Whether it was a ball or a spike, it didn't matter.
Before he began to conduct further tests, Zhou Fan wanted to move a little further away from earth. With the power of his new realm, Zhou Fan was thousands of times faster than light.
In fact, there was no point in comparing him to light any further. He was on a whole new level.
Thinking of the fact that he broke into a new realm, Zhou Fan needed to come up with a name. After a moment, he chose space shattering. Like void traversing, it didn't need to be explained.
After naming the realm space shattering, Zhou Fan instantly moved out of the solar system. In order to test his new speed, he was going to try to go to another solar system.
Thanks to the scientists on earth, he already knew what the closest solar system was. In a flash of light, Zhou Fan sped off towards it.
It only took four hours for Zhou Fan to make it there. With the knowledge of earth's scientist, he was able to calculate that he was about 10,000 times faster than the speed of light.
Zhou Fan nodded his head. He was completely satisfied with that level of speed. After all, he didn't even use Qi the entire journey. Otherwise, his speed would be much faster.
Getting out of his thoughts, Zhou Fan looked upon the new solar system. Unlike his, it contained 5 planets and the sun was bigger. The sun was also red instead of orange.
With a brief glance, Zhou Fan could tell that there wasn't a single habitable planet. Every single one was either scorched or covered in ice.
Even so, Zhou Fan was curious. He disappeared from where he was standing and reappeared above the ground of the first planet.
The entire planet was shiny black with a hint of red. The temperature was so hot that normal water would instantly evaporate. Of course, that didn't mean anything to Zhou Fan.
He wandered around the planet in search of anything interesting. He found a couple of mountains and a couple of valleys, but there was nothing else.
After touring the entire surface, Zhou Fan was ready to look at the center of the planet. He pierced through the crust and traveled to the core in a deliberately slow manner.
Unlike the earth which had many materials and layers, the entire planet was composed of the same material on the surface.
Even the core was the same. No liquid or lava. Just the blackish-red material.
As he took a closer look at the material, Zhou Fan gained some interest. It was different from anything on earth, after all.
He grabbed a handful and tried to crush it with the strength of a mortal. As expected, it didn't budge. He continued to increase his strength until he reached the level of a 3rd level Foundation Establishment cultivator's strength. However, he was only counting physical strength and not using Qi.
Even so, Zhou Fan was surprised by the discovery. Even a diamond wouldn't be able to handle the strength of a 1st level foundation establishment cultivator. That meant that every inch material on this planet is stronger than diamond.
Suddenly, Zhou Fan had a crazy idea. What if he condensed the entire planet like he had with some metal on earth.
He may be able to create a weapon strong enough to be used by him. Zhou Fan flew to the surface of the planet and put a hand on the ground. The entire planet started to shake as his divine sense covered it. Yes, Zhou Fan's divine sense had grown to such a point that it could cover an entire planet.
Zhou Fan started to condense the entire planet. From space, one would see the planet getting smaller and smaller. From its previous size that was about equal to earth, it quickly shrunk to the size of a continent. Then an empire. Then a kingdom. Then a mountain. Finally, the entire planet disappeared from view. All that remained was a black-red sword in Zhou Fan's hand.
Looking at it, Zhou Fan couldn't keep the smile off of his face. Although he was sweating from the amount of effort it took, he couldn't be prouder of his creation.
He swung out once and the sword almost cut through space. Unfortunately, it wasn't at such a level yet. Zhou Fan then poured Qi into the sword. This time, he chose to use space Qi. Even after pouring in a reasonable amount, the sword was still steady.
Once Zhou Fan was satisfied with the amount, he swung the sword towards the second planet in the solar system. A thin line of space Qi moved at an incredible speed.
In mere seconds, it collided with the planet. Contrary to expectation, there was no big explosion. The line of Space Qi simply went through the planet and exited out through the other before dispersing.
There was no disappointment in Zhou Fan's eyes, however. After watching the planet for a minute, it began to slide apart. Before long, two halves of a planet were moving away from each other.
Yet again, Zhou Fan had a huge smile on his face.
