Chapter 232: Fortune Favors the Bold
No one knew how much time had passed before the warship finally descended and came to a gentle halt on solid ground. This was the battlefront zone of the Central Army’s Third Legion—a vast expanse filled with temporary military camps, sprawling trenches lined with energy grids, and towering artillery platforms that scraped the heavens.
In the far-off depths of the Void, deep within the blackened horizon, lightning flickered endlessly across the skies—signs of brutal, ceaseless battles raging far away.
Aside from the soldiers, there were also numerous professionals—each dressed in wildly different armor or gear—stationed around the camps.
Many had come to the Void Frontline for personal tempering. On one hand, they could hunt Void Beasts and harvest valuable loot. On the other, they could trade these corpses with the military in exchange for rewards. It was truly a win-win scenario.
“Young Master Qin Xian, this is the Void Realm,” said Su Fen, voice calm yet tinged with that familiar discomfort.
He had been here many times before and had grown used to the subtle unease. Still, it lingered.
“The Void is far too vast. Based on our research, it exists in an alternate dimension—not part of our physical universe. We’re currently on the edge of the Void, which is why we’re able to establish temporary outposts here.”
Qin Xian nodded slowly. In truth, the frontline situation was best understood by field commanders like Su Fen.
The Void was indeed infinite, stretching beyond measure. But this time, Qin Xian’s return wasn’t just to fight. He had already sent a message to the First Sovereign Court, and it wouldn’t be long before they arrived to meet him.
Of course, that meeting wouldn’t take place here at the outer edge.
If his identity as a Void-blooded being were exposed, it would shake the entire human world to its core. Their rendezvous point was deep within the Void—far beyond where prying eyes could reach.
“You’ve done well, Captain,” Qin Xian praised softly, his gaze sweeping across the scattered camps.
“From here on, return to your original assignments.”
Su Fen hesitated. Deep down, he was conflicted. Qin Xian was alone. And the Void was unimaginably dangerous.
Beyond this border, it was infested with countless Void creatures. There might even be a Void General lurking out there—a moment’s carelessness could cost a life. But someone like Qin Xian, a top-tier genius, was simply beyond their understanding.
Rumor had it that the Chu Clan’s eldest daughter, Chu Junzhuo, had also ventured deep into the Void unaccompanied. Perhaps geniuses truly walked paths that ordinary people couldn’t fathom.
And besides, their orders were clear: follow Qin Xian’s lead—no questions, no interference.
So, with a solemn salute, Su Fen turned and led his company toward their deployment zone. They would be stationed here for three months, fighting the endless tide of Void creatures.
As he walked away, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of awe and envy. He and Qin Xian were around the same age—but the difference in their lives was night and day.
One was a heaven-favored noble, able to train alone in the heart of the Void. The other was just a common soldier, living each day on the edge of death.
Qin Xian’s figure disappeared into the depths of the Void, his silhouette vanishing without a trace.
He traveled onward, deeper and deeper into the realm of shadows. All around him were scars of battle—unimaginable, horrific confrontations etched into the very terrain.
This place had seen more bloodshed than anyone could count. He even noticed evidence of fights between human professionals, not just Void beasts.
Because this was the Void—a world unlike the human realm.
Here, there was no order. No law. Only chaos. It was a paradise for the ambitious and a haven for conspirators. There were even Void cultists roaming freely in the shadows.
A faint smile crept onto Qin Xian’s lips. The deeper he went, the more his bloodline seemed to sing with joy.
Just then, a bone-chilling roar tore through the silence.
From behind a long-dead celestial body, a massive creature emerged—its body resembling a grotesque octopus, covered in clusters of twitching compound eyes, all fixed hungrily on Qin Xian.
【Void Stalker】: Void-Type Elite Monster.
Level: 40
Description: The Void Stalker is among the most dangerous of Void creatures. It possesses stealth and ambush capabilities. After each attack, it rapidly withdraws, vanishing into the Void as if it had never existed.
Qin Xian’s expression remained unchanged. As expected—this was the Void Realm, and danger lurked behind every shadow. He hadn’t walked far before encountering a Void Stalker.
A heartbeat later, that hideous roar sounded again. The massive beast vanished in a blur and reappeared behind him.
Dozens of thick tentacles lashed out, and its enormous maw opened wide—rows upon rows of bloodstained fangs closing in to devour him whole.
Despite being only Level 40, Void Stalkers were notorious for their difficulty. Even human military forces typically required two or three entire companies to take one down.
But Qin Xian didn’t flinch. His hand moved, and the Holy Sword ignited with dazzling brilliance. Blades of sacred light surged upward and, in one swift stroke, sliced the Void Stalker clean in half.
The elite beast never stood a chance—not even a single move.
Instant kill.
As its body collapsed, a shimmering, prism-like crystal floated into view.
【Stalker Crystal】: Rare Blue Material.
Effect: Can be used to forge items imbued with shadow-type powers.
The Stalker Crystal was a valuable drop from Void Stalkers. Though technically just a rare-grade material, it was worth at least a million credits, easily.
And this—this was precisely why so many human professionals flocked to the depths of the Void.
To hunt monsters like these…
To seize unimaginable rewards…
Fortune favors the bold.
