"How long has it been?"
"About two minutes, I think, but sothing feels off."
"It is off. Those Heavy Armor Puppets wouldn't be this slow. Rember, we were chased like dead dogs."
Gradually.
Five minutes had passed.
Ten minutes had passed.
Many Awakeners had stood guard at the passage for so long. Many of them were extrely tense, fearing they might not survive this battle.
However, they were surprised to find that the Puppets that had been chasing them had disappeared!
It just felt very unreal.
Soone who had been tightly wound suddenly relaxed and collapsed, half-kneeling on the ground.
These people were different from Tang Yu and his group. Chased by Puppets, desperately running, constantly encountering traps along the way, so already had nurous wounds, feeling they might die at any mont...
"Feeling alive is really nice."
This scene almost moved people to tears, but imdiately soone threw cold water on it, "Think again. To stay alive, we at least have to wait till we get out of this space. Not to ntion, if we continue to stay here, even without encountering danger, we'll starve."
As this person spoke, many Awakeners realized that they didn't carry much food with them.
At most, they had a bit for ergencies, enough for a day or two, but who knew how long they'd have to stay in this space.
Before entering, not many had thought that the entrance was one-way.
Especially a few well-inford Awakeners were particularly annoyed.
They knew such independent spaces were called Secret Realms. The problem was, aren't Secret Realms supposed to have both entrances and exits? The one they encountered seed a bit different?
Gradually, everyone's attention shifted to the edge of the cliff.
Clearly, the path forward was on the platform on the other side of the cliff. Through the dim light, they could vaguely see the platform opposite and a dark cave entrance behind it.
But how to reach the platform on the other side was a problem.
Tang Yu was also considering whether to use approach A, B, or CDEFGH...
At that mont, he saw a young man step forward from the crowd.
'It's Chen Feng.'
Tang Yu noted silently.
He paid attention to so of the more famous Awakeners from Lindong, having seen plenty of reports from Grey Blade coming from Lindong.
He already guessed what Chen Feng was planning to do.
Chen Feng stood at the edge of the cliff, holding one end of a bundle of hemp rope, while the other end was held by another team mber.
"After I fly over there and secure the rope, you all can climb across using it,"
He said and then used his Wind Control ability. Air swirled around him, gently lifting him as the wind billowed his clothes.
Chen Feng suddenly accelerated, flying straight out from the cliff.
Suddenly,
"F*ck!"
Chen Feng shouted in alarm, struggling to control the wild wind, but it was futile. His usually infallible flying technique seed to be completely ineffective at that mont.
His body plumted through the air, speeding up.
Other Awakeners were stunned.
This turn of events was completely unexpected.
mbers of the Divine Wind Team exclaid as the team mber holding the rope pulled hard, only to feel a huge force transmitting from their hands. Even the Awakeners who quickly grabbed him to help couldn't withstand that inexplicable force.
With a snap,
The rope broke.
You could faintly hear the sound of a heavy object hitting the water as mbers of the Divine Wind Team lay at the edge of the cliff, yet they could only see pitch darkness.
In the vicinity of Yun City.
The large Sanctuary that once carried people's hopes had now beco ruins.
Red mist drifted overhead, and the continuous wailing of Demonized Beasts echoed within the building ruins.
At this mont, so twenty to thirty kiloters away from the Yun City Sanctuary, deep in a mountain forest.
The Evil Eye floated in midair, gazing at the enormous tree in front of it with white, translucent, crystal-like leaves, its nurous vein-like tendrils flailing behind it.
"Who would have thought, to so luckily discover a Soul Ancient Tree, this is a trendous opportunity for our Evil Eye Clan!"
The eyeball rotated once, and the gaze of the Evil Eye swept over the base of the huge tree, where many Demonized Beasts gathered, "You inferior species, do you also deserve to enjoy the Soul Ancient Tree?"
It emitted an oppressive force.
Like a fierce gust of wind, sweeping across the area.
Sand flew, and the surrounding trees were even uprooted, yet only the Soul Ancient Tree, growing right on top of the Source Crystal Mine, remained absolutely still.
Beneath the Soul Ancient Tree, where its roots entwined, unlike the usual ferocious Demonized Beasts, these ones appeared lazy in deanor, resting there.
This pressure swept over them, and these Demonized Beasts rarely showed a look of panic on their faces.
Countless Demonized Beasts scrambled to flee.
A Beast, exceeding three stories in height, completely red, and resembling a western giant dragon, displayed its unwillingness as it roared, spouting red flas from its mouth.
The Evil Eye glanced at the red giant dragon.
Puff.
The clearly not weak, advanced Demonized Beast burst open like a balloon.
Not even bones remained.
The other Demonized Beasts ran even faster.
A group of Evil Eyes arrived beneath the Soul Ancient Tree.
Squinting, he felt the power perating around the ancient tree, slowly purifying his soul.
A feeling of satisfaction settled in his heart.
"Co over."
A clan mber with dark red legs, excitedly waving the blood vessels behind its eyeball, quickly approached.
The power around the Evil Eye surged.
Suddenly, visibly, the crystal-like leaves on the Soul Ancient Tree began to dim one by one.
This pure force, capable of purifying the soul, was extracted by the Evil Eye and slowly infused into the body of the clan mber with the dark red legs.
Like water flowing naturally,
The aura of this advanced clan mber surged dramatically.
Its entire eyeball slowly floated up, while the root-like legs underneath it quickly fell off.
Turning to ash, dispersing into the wind.
The Evil Eye Clan mber, floating, ca next to the Evil Eye and spoke in sowhat unfamiliar spiritual power fluctuations, "Elder..."
"Success, very good, very good!"
The Evil Eye laughed.
It then rotated its eyeball towards the Soul Ancient Tree, where a small portion of the crystal leaves had completely dimd, "It's a pity, this Soul Ancient Tree is just starting to revive, it's still a sapling, we shouldn't overuse it, but it's enough..."
So clan mbers still guarded around the Abyssal Rift.
The Evil Eye estimated the number of clan mbers, then extracted a portion of power from the Soul Ancient Tree and infused it into other clan mbers.
Instantly, the aura of these clan mbers grew stronger, especially the expressions reflected in their pupils, which beca even more lively.
