The skies above the body of the sword were like individual patches. Typically, the sky in the different regions was different, and that was a result of the ancient sword’s resistive force against the sun. Right now, in the region where the sword body was, the skies were pitch-black, and there were only three cracks which revealed a blinding and frightening red glow.
It was as if the interior of the sun could be seen through those gaps. The three red glows vaguely lit up the surroundings, allowing one to see the surroundings despite the darkness.
It was a vast area, and it was rare that there was no Sea of Fire, no lava, and no loose or broken pieces of the mountain. Looking at it from a distance, there seed to be nothing there, and the entire area was silent.
It seed that the quietness had lasted for tens of years. In this extre silence, the air was filled with the scent of death.
That was until a loud boom reverberated in this lifeless world suddenly. As the glow of teleportation spread, the nothingness of the surrounding environnt was warped. Instantly, three figures appeared out of thin air, extrely broken!
It was the trio consisting of Wang Baole, who were all still in a state of shock. The mont they appeared, Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yang could no longer bear with it physically. Blood spurted out from their mouths, and they fainted imdiately, even before they could take a closer look at their surroundings.
Their cultivation levels hadn’t reached that of the Core Formation realm. That, coupled with the fact that they had suffered severe injuries when resisting the suction force of the cave abode, as well as the teleportation, left their bodies on the brink of breaking apart. Now, they had finally reached their limits and fallen.
Even though Wang Baole was also breathing heavily and spewed blood out of his mouth, he remained conscious. At the sa ti, he was still capable of battle. As such, with Zhao Yang and Zhuo Yifan unconscious, Wang Baole had already produced hand seals. Instantly, nurous puppets appeared and began guarding the place.
The words on the wall of the cave abode were a huge trap! Wang Baole’s face was pale. He quickly took a look at his surroundings. Even though he was bewildered by the quietness and vastness of the place, he felt that it was safe for now. He didn’t bother to recall what had just happened. Instead, he took out pills and moved to Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yang, feeding them the pills to help treat their injuries. Then, he began to ditate with his legs crossed, in order to guard them and to increase his speed of recovery after taking the pills.
An unspecified length of ti went by like that. As there was no array formation here that mimicked day and night, it was difficult for Wang Baole to tell ti. However, according to his judgnt, approximately two days had passed.
He had managed to recover to approximately ninety percent of his full strength over these two days. Zhao Yang also regained consciousness a day ago, and without saying anything, she imdiately began ditating with her legs crossed, to speed up the recovery process with the help of Wang Baole’s pills.
Things were rosier for Zhao Yang, who had managed to achieve fifty percent recovery so far. However, Zhuo Yifan, who suffered more severe injuries and didn’t have a strong physique and recovery power like Wang Baole, was still in a state of unconsciousness. His body was still weak, and even though he didn’t wake, his breathing and injuries had stabilized.
After checking on Zhuo Yifan’s injuries, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he looked towards his surroundings, he frowned, his eyes carrying a profound look of concern.
As if sensing Wang Baole’s troubles, Zhao Yang opened her eyes from her ditative state. She looked at the vastness of their surroundings and felt the loneliness of the place. With her face pale, she spoke softly.
“We cannot continue to stay here. Baole, I have had the feeling that sothing is amiss here ever since I woke. Furthermore, previously... it was my fault for not foreseeing all the restrictions... If I had managed to predict them, we...” Zhao Yang’s voice was weak and filled with bla towards herself. She felt that it was all a result of her incapability. If she were more capable in her knowledge of the array formations, they could have perhaps avoided the life and death crisis.
“This has nothing to do with you. It should be the curse put in place by the cave abode’s owner before his death, one ant to fight against his biggest enemies. We were just unlucky.” Wang Baole laughed bitterly as he consoled Zhao Yang, and proceeded to tell her about the words that he had seen on the walls of the cave abode.
Zhao Yang gasped in shock after hearing Wang Baole’s words. Even though she had been through the crisis in the cave abode, she was still surprised now that she heard what Wang Baole said. However, she could imagine that if Wang Baole didn’t manage to resist the temptation and went nearer to the so-called inheritance written on the wall, the three of them would perhaps have lost the chance to even escape...
After all, Wang Baole had avoided the stone wall and left the mountains, but the explosion in the cave abode still threw them towards the brink of death.
“It’s too dangerous here... At the sa ti, we’re too weak...” After a mont of silence, Zhao Yang sighed as she looked hopelessly at her surroundings. Wang Baole also fell silent and was filled with guilt. He felt that he had been careless, perhaps as a result of how smooth his previous experiences were. It made him feel that the danger was sothing he could handle.
However, reality gave him a slap on the face. Wang Baole took a few slow, deep breaths, and beca extrely solemn. He was about to speak, but before he could do so, Zhao Yang, who was looking at the surroundings, suddenly trembled. Her breathing almost stopping instantly. Her pupils constricted, and she spoke urgently.
“Baole, look over there! There... there’s soone there!”
Wang Baole turned his head upon hearing those words, looking in the direction Zhao Yang was indicating. He was shocked. A thousand feet away, in the area where the two of them were looking, a figure sat ditating with crossed legs in the dim glow of the light.
It could be seen that it was a man wearing a robe from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. He was facing the trio while ditating without any movent, his eyes closed.
Wang Baole’s heart palpitated wildly, and a strong sense of danger made him tense up. After all, over the days that had passed, he had checked the surroundings thoroughly and was sure that there was no one else.
However, right now, a figure had appeared without any noise or indication. That was especially so as that figure was expressionless, and Wang Baole couldn’t sense any sign of life from him. In addition, even when using the Dark Art, he couldn’t sense any sign of death from him either!
Neither dead nor alive? Instinctively, Wang Baole’s cultivation was activated. Turning his right hand, a seventh-grade Dharmic Armant flying sword appeared in his palm, glowing with ferocity. At the sa ti, he narrowed his eyes and spoke with a deep voice.
“Senior, the three of us have stumbled here. Please forgive us for disrupting your cultivation. We don’t know where we are, could Senior let us know the way out?” As he spoke, Wang Baole stared unblinkingly at the figure, his level of vigilance growing to the maximum.
However, Wang Baole’s words were completely useless and didn’t elicit any response. The figure continued ditating without any facial expression, and he didn’t open his eyes or move either. Wang Baole frowned. He was about to continue speaking when suddenly, he seed to have detected sothing from the corner of his eye. He turned imdiately and was instantly shocked.
Before him, he could clearly see that, about a thousand feet away on his right, the original emptiness was suddenly filled with a ditating figure. It was a teenager, a different person from just now, but they were both expressionless. They were neither dead nor alive, and this made everything seem extrely bizarre.
“Baole, there’s more here...” As Wang Baole reveled in shock, Zhao Yang took out her array formation treasure. Even though this place was bizarre, Zhao Yang wasn’t an ordinary lady. After taking a deep breath, she cald herself down, and a look of calmness slowly appeared in her eyes. As she spoke, Wang Baole also turned around to look at his surroundings, and instantly saw that in the short span of ti, hundreds of similar figures had appeared all around them!
There were n and won, young and old. Everyone was expressionless, ditating with their legs crossed. They were all facing the trio, and they were all neither dead nor alive!
This sent a chill down Wang Baole’s spine. He imdiately called for Little Missy in his mind, wanting to ask her what region they were in, and why everything seed so bizarre. Each figure that he saw made Wang Baole feel that danger was brewing.
However, Little Missy was still in hibernation and didn’t reply. That made Wang Baole anxious and also helpless. Solemnly, he carried the unconscious Zhuo Yifan on his back and glanced at Zhao Yang with a look of determination in his eyes.
“Rather than wait here, let’s take a bet and see if we can dash out of here!” Zhao Yang spoke softly. Sealing her hands, a glow erged from the array formation jade slip, covering the entire surroundings and forming the protective force of the array formation. Wang Baole nodded his head and prepared to dash out together with Zhao Yang.
However, right at that mont... the hundreds of ditating figures, who initially had their eyes shut, suddenly opened all their eyes at once!
