The last of Nasha Kingdom's Five Grand Generals, Baburu, activated his ability [Void Exile] the moment Zhang Yi and his group arrived at the Holy Spirit Hall.

Before Zhang Yi and the others could even react, the space before them twisted violently. They felt their bodies lose all control, and in the next instant, they were scattered across different dimensions.

Zhang Yi didn't feel much of a shock—just a blur before his eyes, and the scene before him had completely changed.

His feet stood on white stone slabs as smooth as jade, surrounded by a luxurious, enormous palace. But compared to his size, the hall was far too vast and empty.

And Liang Yue, Fatty Xu, and the others who had been beside him were nowhere to be seen.

Since this sudden ability lacked any offensive nature, Zhang Yi hadn't anticipated it at all.

"A space-translocation type skill?"

Zhang Yi immediately understood what Baburu had done to them.

This caught him completely off guard.

He knew that there must be some kind of guardian within the Holy Spirit Hall.

But he had assumed that encountering the guardian would trigger a brutal battle—not that the enemy would scatter them to different locations.

"Is this to pick us off one by one?"

That was Zhang Yi's guess, so he observed his surroundings with extreme caution.

His Mind Domain could sense fluctuations in spatial energy, allowing him to detect most incoming attacks.

Right away, he tried contacting Liang Yue and the others through the communication channel to confirm their positions.

"Liang Yue, Old You, Fatty Xu—can you hear me? Where are you right now? Are you together or separated?"

Zhang Yi asked carefully.

But after a long pause, he received no response.

The Smart System alerted him.

"Master, this place seems to have a unique magnetic field that blocks communication signals."

Zhang Yi's brow furrowed. "This is going to be a real problem!"

Everyone had been scattered by Baburu. Zhang Yi could protect himself, but the others? Not so much.

If Baburu took this opportunity to attack Liang Yue and the others first...

Then any superhuman below Epsilon level would be instantly killed.

At that thought, Zhang Yi's heart churned with worry for the others' safety.

Right now, only Hua Hua was by his side, along with Jingwei and the others lurking within his shadow.

Zhang Yi immediately tried to use his spatial traversal ability to escape this place. Though the Holy Spirit Hall was enormous, with his power, he could quickly find everyone scattered across it and regroup them.

"Shhh!"

He swiftly traversed toward the empty area ahead.

But when he emerged from the Dimensional Gate, he was stunned to find a massive white wall blocking his path!

Zhang Yi's pupils contracted sharply. He hovered midair, staring in shock at his surroundings.

He could confirm that he was still inside that vast space—he hadn't escaped.

It seemed some kind of power prevented him from passing through these walls.

Zhang Yi reached out in disbelief, touching the wall in front of him.

The moment his palm made contact, an indescribable discomfort instantly enveloped his entire body.

This feeling was familiar—similar to when he had touched the Gate of Eternal Severance.

But this discomfort was even stronger, laced with a bone-piercing chill!

Zhang Yi instinctively retreated dozens of meters, staring intently at the enormous space around him. For a moment, he felt lost.

"Nasha Kingdom has been studying superhuman abilities for a long time... so they've developed materials that can suppress them?"

Zhang Yi muttered.

From within the Shadow Space, Yang Xinxin said, "Nasha's construction materials are indeed tougher than anything outside. Especially the materials in the Spiral Corridor—they can withstand impacts at the Epsilon level."

"These materials are fascinating. I think we should study them."

Lu Keran chimed in with great anticipation. "Brother, if we can replicate these materials, they'll be incredibly useful in the future!"

Two and a half years into the Apocalypse, superhumans had always been the most powerful and unique humanoid weapons in the world, difficult to restrain.

But that was only because humanity hadn't thoroughly studied superhumans yet.

Clearly, over the long course of history, the Tri-Eyed Clan had already developed countermeasures.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi was anxious to find Liang Yue and the others, but he still drew Holy Judgment.

This time, he didn't use any superhuman ability—just the raw power of the Hidden Dragon Armor. He aimed at the pristine white wall and slashed down hard!

"Crunch!"

With that strike, a small chunk of the wall cracked off, and Zhang Yi collected the fallen material into his Shadow Space.

"Keep it for now, Ke Ran. Study it when you have time. But right now, time is critical—we need to find Old You and the others as fast as possible. Otherwise, their lives could be in danger."

At that moment, Yang Xinxin spoke up.

"Brother, don't rush too much about this. I think, if I were that mysterious guardian, I wouldn't target the weaker ones first."

Zhang Yi's frantic emotions steadied slightly upon hearing her words.

"Xinxin, what do you mean?"

Yang Xinxin explained, "Concern clouds judgment. You're worried about them, so you think they matter."

"But to Nasha Kingdom's Grand General, they don't matter at all. What matters are the Epsilon-level superhumans like you."

"Even if his goal is to pick you off one by one, I don't think he'd give you time to regroup. So, targeting the Epsilon-level superhumans first would be the optimal strategy."

"So, brother, as long as you haven't been attacked, that proves Teacher Liang and the others are safe."

Zhang Yi stopped in his tracks. After hearing Yang Xinxin's reasoning, he had to admit it was the most logical explanation.

Because if he were in the guardian's shoes, he would have done the same to maximize battlefield effectiveness.

"So then... are we just supposed to wait here for him to come to us?"

Zhang Yi looked up at the dome, which stretched over a hundred meters high.

This vast space seemed to be some room within the palace, but it was many times larger than any human building Zhang Yi had ever seen.

Everything around him was white and endless—he couldn't even see the borders.

"If there's no signal here, and spatial traversal is impossible, then we'll have to slowly search for the others."

Yang Xinxin quickly thought things through, then pointed ahead. "Brother, leave through the main door ahead. And from now on, at every fork you encounter, always take the right path."
