Ji Jue was left looking like a complete idiot, plummeting into the all-consuming darkness, crying blood and shouting, "Hey, open the door, I haven't gotten on yet!"
Slap!
It was just before the sky membrane of the Crack Realm completely shattered that the light from the Transworld Gate flashed and vanished.
He was completely engulfed.
And in the darkness, there remained only nothingness.
In a moment of disorientation, Ji Jue found himself under the familiar moonlight, among the brilliant stars and the tranquil night, with the distant echo of a stream reaching his ears.
Amidst the world spinning around him, he fell flat on his face like a dog eating shit, landing squarely on the ground.
It took him quite a while to catch his breath!
Only after he mustered the strength to get up from the ground, wiping the mud and dust off his face, did he start to spit incessantly.
