The 'end of the world' was a few thousand miles away from their current location.
Han Ling managed to close that distance in a few hours, though it took longer since the spirit ship couldn't be used—because the space near the edge of the world was more chaotic and turbulent, which could damage the ship.
Arriving at the 'end of the world' Han Ling's eyes were greeted by a strange environment.
It was a green forest in the middle of a desert, with inverted mountains and a river running backward.
As he walked through this place, Han Ling suddenly stopped, his expression turning solemn.
Yu Yui was walking right behind him and noticed his sudden halt.
"Master, what happened? Why did you stop?" she asked curiously as she observed the strange surroundings. Her gaze wandered everywhere until it settled on Han Ling's imposing back.
"We won't move forward anymore. I feel that if we move a bit further... we won't be able to come back," Han Ling said solemnly. His amber eyes coldly scanned the strange environment, sensing that this place had just become more dangerous.
Yu Yui grew curious but also fearful, cautiously stepping closer to Han Ling. If a place could make someone as powerful as Han Ling cautious, imagine how it made her feel.
However, unlike what Yu Yui expected, Han Ling simply sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.
"H-Hey, master! You're not planning to cultivate while leaving me standing here, right?"
Han Ling didn't answer immediately. He opened one eye and looked at Yu Yui sideways.
"My little slave, how did you guess?"
Yu Yui bit her lower lip, embarrassed and at the same time excited by the lazy and cruel tone Han Ling used with her. He called her slave without hesitation, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I… I don't want to be alone in this weird place, master…" she murmured, hugging herself while looking around. "What if something attacks me?"
Han Ling closed his eyes again, his tone now more impatient. "If something attacks you, deal with it. If you can't… then die."
But his thoughts were elsewhere.
'You? Die? No fucking way. With your legendary physique, that's impossible.'
'Now that I think about it, meeting you wasn't a coincidence, it was the influence of your physique. After all, why would I stop in the middle of nowhere to save you? Then find out you have two legendary physiques, and take you with me.'
Han Ling sank deeper into his thoughts, completely ignoring Yu Yui's shaken—yet strangely excited—expression upon hearing his cold words.
'It wasn't chance... it was destiny guided by that damn physique of hers.'
The space around seemed to warp in response to his introspection. The ground dissolved into sand for a moment and turned back to grass the next. Nothing there obeyed natural rules. It was like standing at the edge of a dream that could turn into a nightmare at any second.
Snapping out of his daydream, Han Ling looked at Yu Yui with his sharp eyes.
"Yu Yui, go explore this place. See if you find anything useful."
Yu Yui's eyes widened.
"M-Me? Alone?" She swallowed hard, glancing at the surroundings where the sky seemed ready to collapse at any moment and the trees moved occasionally, as if alive.
Han Ling just raised an eyebrow. "Did I say something wrong?"
Yu Yui trembled from head to toe. It was as if every word Han Ling said carried a weight that crushed her emotional and logical resistance.
She quickly shook her head, like an obedient slave, even with her heart pounding.
"N-no, master… I will."
Even hesitant, there was something in her expression that mixed fear with… pleasure. The fear of being left to fend for herself, and the pleasure of being seen as useful.
With careful steps, Yu Yui began to walk away. Her body, covered by a tight red dress, seemed out of place in that chaotic, distorted setting. Still, she walked—each step a battle against the instinct to run back to Han Ling and hide behind him like a scared child.
As she went deeper into the sinister forest, it seemed she momentarily forgot her fear.
"If I find something rare… will he praise me?" she whispered softly, blushing.
"…Or maybe use me a little afterward…"
Yu Yui instinctively pressed her legs together, feeling a hot and perverse current run through her body.
Her body trembled. The wetness in her pussy increased, soaking her panties.
Yu Yui tried to push away the unexpected wave of arousal that took over her, blaming the strange and unstable atmosphere around her.
She gripped the fabric of her red dress, trying to focus, but her thoughts were already lost in the memory of the last times he called her "my little slave" with that sharp look and indifferent, cruel tone.
"Don't think nonsense," she whispered to herself. "If I'm useful, maybe he'll reward me. Maybe…"
Yu Yui kept walking, trying to maintain composure, but the strange feeling coursing through her body seemed determined to take full control.
Then she decided to give in to temptation, her hands reaching down to her soaked panties, sliding them aside, exposing her bare pussy to the cold air of the frightening forest.
"One time won't hurt anyone," she murmured as her fingers touched the pink lips of her pussy.
Her slender fingers sank easily into her swollen lips thanks to her intense lubrication.
Yu Yui felt the wetness wrap around her fingers, the delicate flesh pulsing rhythmically—a warm, shocking sensation contrasting with the cold, distorted air around her. The contrast between the cold environment and the heat growing inside her made her shiver, her breathing becoming short, almost a whisper.
Her eyes closed for a moment, her mind flooded with the memory of Han Ling's words and gaze—that cruel tone, that absolute power. The feeling of being his little slave, fragile yet desired, squeezed her heart with a mixture of fear and desire that consumed her.
Soon another hand descended to vigorously massage her clit while her slender fingers tried to go deeper into her pussy, her muscles contracting involuntarily in rhythm, her pussy pulsing and gripping her fingers with wild pleasure. She let out an almost inaudible sigh, her sensitive skin standing on end from the excitement.
"Come on... I'm almost…" Her voice was inaudible in the silent yet overwhelming dark forest.
Yu Yui could barely hear her own sighs, muffled by the almost total silence of the distorted forest. The atmosphere seemed to suck away every sound and warmth around, but inside her, a flame burned brighter, fueled by the scorching mix of fear and desire.
Her body trembled slightly, fingers gliding hastily over the soft, wet flesh, feeling every pulse, every contraction her own pleasure caused.
Her sweaty body made the red dress cling to her, highlighting her perfect curves.
When her pussy reached climax, a deep shiver shook her, her body convulsed as if struck by an electric shock.
Yu Yui dropped to her knees on the ground, her trembling hands scratching the earth as her pussy pulsed and squirted fluids, soaking the lower half of her dress and forming a crystal-clear pool on the floor.
Yu Yui stayed kneeling for a few moments, catching her breath, her breathing coming in soft pants. The arousal still burned in her pussy, as if she wasn't fully satisfied—a heat that seemed to defy the harshness and coldness of the place around her.
She slowly stood up, her trembling hand sliding over her pussy, trying to dry the dripping wetness while the other tried to adjust her soaked dress that clung to her slender body.
Her body still shook—not just from the intense orgasm, but from the perverse feeling of having given in to that wild urge in such a hostile place.
She lifted her face, her eyes still shining with excitement and a little suppressed shame. "Damn... why do I always let myself get carried away like this? Right here, in such a scary place..." she murmured, trying to regain composure as a faint blush rose on her delicate cheeks.
Dressed in the tight red dress now stuck to her sweaty, soaked skin, Yu Yui leaned against a dry tree nearby, adjusting her skirt with an almost shy care.
Yu Yui pressed her back against the rough bark, trying to find balance between the warm shivers still running through her body and the tension the environment caused. Her trembling fingers adjusted the red dress that clung to her skin, outlining her figure more clearly than ever. The thin fabric marked every curve—the outline of her erect nipples and breasts, the slender waist, and the long legs standing out amidst the surreal vegetation of the forest.
Yu Yui stayed leaning against that tree, managing to steady her breathing and finally think clearly.
"I need to find something… something he'll find useful," she whispered to herself, with a slight crooked smile. It seemed masturbating had ignited her determination and motivation, because her pussy felt so good with her slender fingers—imagine if it were her master's big, thick thing?
Yu Yui stepped away from the tree with still unsteady steps, but the newfound determination shone in her red eyes. Her body, still warmed by recent ecstasy, seemed lighter, more willing to face the strangeness of that bizarre, dangerous world.

While Yu Yui was on a quest to prove her usefulness, Han Ling was analyzing that twisted space.
His most recent discovery was the reason why that 'World' was so distorted. It turned out that the rules and laws of that space were fragmented, so they fused together in an attempt to become whole.
This created bizarre situations, like fire that doesn't burn, or mountains and rivers that defy gravity.
Of course, Han Ling hadn't even scratched the surface of this world's mysteries. To do so, he would need to delve deeper into it—which wasn't an option.
That's because the space just ahead was folded upon itself, creating a loop that, once entered, could never be escaped.
This was likely the cause of death for the other cultivators who had chosen to explore this 'world.'
Setting that thought aside, Han Ling decided to start refining the laws—a process faster than comprehending them.
This was a method Han Ling had recently discovered by perfecting his Origin Refinement technique.
Before, he used it to refine the Qi obtained from dual cultivation with Han Xinrou, enhancing his own cultivation, even managing to refine the power of her laws.
Based on that, he theorized that he could use the technique to refine the laws directly, though it remained just a hypothesis—since the world's laws couldn't usually be refined due to being anchored in reality.
It also couldn't be used to refine other cultivators' Laws, since their Laws contained a pollution that couldn't be refined—at least not back when he lacked mastery of the technique.
He could use Han Xinrou's law power without worrying about pollution because she loved him, and her power naturally followed his commands.
However, having the power of a Law is different from possessing a true Law.
Han Ling understood this difference clearly when he obtained his spatial Law—it was as if the spatial Law was infinitely superior to the power of the spatial Law, even though they were essentially the same.
Wanting to test his hypothesis, Han Ling activated his spatial Law, causing ripples to spread through space.
These ripples were meant to shatter the Incomplete World Laws that had been patched together, returning them to their fragmented state.
In Han Ling's view, he was simply breaking the Incomplete World Laws and drawing them toward himself.
However, from an outside observer's perspective, it was as if cracks in a mirror were forming in reality, with each fragment of reality being pulled in and absorbed by Han Ling's body.
In a few hours, the region where Han Ling stood became a void, creating an entrance to the chaotic space that, at the 'end of the world,' was extremely turbulent and carried destructive force.
The damage was so great that the 'end of the world' was beginning to return to normal. The Incomplete World Laws were being absorbed by Han Ling and replaced by Complete World Laws.
