Chapter 506: 504 Pursuit 2
Realizing this, Yu Hong circled around the safe house and discovered that this place was only the size of a small city district. No living creatures survived.
However, he did find so grave mounds near a crevice’s edge.
Stone tablets stood in front of the grave mounds, but the inscriptions were frozen by blue snow, obscuring any text.
Crack.
The door of the safe house opened.
Yu Hong, his whole body enveloped in Tai Ling Skill Inner Strength, quickly stepped out and approached the stone tablets.
The blue snow blew against him, and he imdiately felt an inner coldness accumulating slowly.
After exhaling a breath, he held his breath and moved to the largest stone tablet.
Boom.
He punched the base of the stone tablet, attempting to break it off to take back as a nto.
To his surprise, the thing rely wobbled, leaving a shallow fist imprint on the surface without breaking.
The layer of blue snow ice on the stone tablet was shattered, revealing the inscriptions beneath.
Yu Hong looked closely and recognized the inscriptions as the previously recorded Second Night Language.
He recalled the approximate grammar; he had mastered most of this language and could roughly understand it without a translation machine.
‘A letter to future generations.’
The stone tablet’s title read.
‘We survived the wave of Source Disaster Monsters, thinking everything was finally calm, unfortunately… it was just the beginning.’
‘Wu Grandmaster exhausted his efforts to establish the Qianji Sect, synthesizing the essence of various schools, writing books, and expanding the cultivation of all people, hoping to forge a path different from the sages. But unfortunately…. it all ended in vain.’
‘The Qianji Sect was annihilated, even the extraordinary talents of Wu Wen perished due to the Source Disaster. In desperation, we sought opportunities to flee. Now, as we are about to depart, amid the extinction of all souls, there may be those who escape the net. If you see this ssage, you can follow the line to the Tan Kong Realm.’
‘ssage left by—Fei Hongzi.’
Seeing this, Yu Hong already understood; it was similar to the ssage he originally left behind as guidance.
It served to offer the possible surviving a final glimpse of hope.
“It seems everyone here is already dead….” He looked around, feeling his body getting colder.
He imdiately examined closely to find where this so-called line was.
Soon, he discovered a thin red line at the base of the stone tablet.
Picking up the line, Yu Hong quickly returned to the safe house.
Inner Strength circulated back and forth in his body dozens of tis, gradually dispelling the deep-seated cold.
“This place is not safe to linger in!” He beca alert, understanding the coldness here was not rely due to low temperature, and imdiately controlled Black Black Spirit to start the engine while holding the red line.
Buzz.
An almost inaudible sound arose.
A vast amount of colorful lines appeared around Black Black Spirit, disappearing within seconds into the Wind Disaster lines.
However, this entry into the Wind Disaster was different from before.
Standing by the window, Yu Hong was sowhat surprised to see the red line in his hand.
At the mont of entering the Wind Disaster, the red line floated up automatically, its end glowing red, pointing slightly in a certain direction with a gentle tugging force.
“It really can point the way??” Yu Hong was a bit surprised.
Hesitating for a mont, he decided to head in the direction indicated by the red line. However, before he could control it, he noticed Black Black Spirit automatically moving.
The direction it was headed was precisely the direction pointed to by the red line.
Ti kept passing.
After passing through the Phoenix Eye, the colorful lines around seed to have deepened considerably in color.
The surrounding pressure and line friction also intensified significantly.
But these were within the bearing capacity of Black Black Spirit. It seed that after the peak at the Phoenix Eye entrance, everything behind weakened and stabilized.
Yu Hong simply ditated by the window, no longer heading to the Cultivation Room.
That segnt of red line was tied to his little finger, guiding the direction forward.
A day passed.
Three days passed.
Five days…..
Boom.
Black Black Spirit suddenly trembled slightly, seemingly entering a relatively calm region.
The colorful line torrent around gradually weakened, and the colors brightened.
Yu Hong gathered his energy, staring ahead.
As expected. In less than three seconds.
A black vortex suddenly appeared ahead.
Black Black Spirit plunged right into it.
For a mont, the light went dark, but the next mont it imdiately brightened.
A dark red sky appeared outside the window, accompanied by scorching hot waves, quickly raising the overall temperature of the safe house.
The sky outside seed like flowing magma, or thick tomato juice, as if it might drip down at any mont.
The ground was charcoal black everywhere.
Columns of black smoke reached the sky, gently surging and swaying with the wind.
Black Black Spirit floated in mid-air, slowly descending due to the Array’s influence.
Standing by the window, despite being at least a thousand ters high from the ground, his powerful eyesight could still see clearly.
The ground was dense with various black skeletons.
These skeletons piled like mountains, so burnt and lted into heaps, so incomplete, making it hard to tell what they were in life. Others were partially buried, with their hands raised toward the sky, as if yearning for sothing.
Yu Hong instinctively held his breath, looking at the red line in his hand.
Sure enough, the red line changed direction again.
He quickly controlled Black Black Spirit to drift in the direction the red line pointed.
Before long.
Boom.
Black Black Spirit successfully landed, wheels popped out at the base, and began rolling forward.
Roar!!
Just as it landed, the ground not far away condensed into a over two-ter-tall black human figure.
The figure had dark red fissures all over its body, with flowing magma inside. Its body was bloated, extrely fat.
Upon seeing Black Black Spirit, it roared angrily and charged step by step towards this way.
Yu Hong focused his mind, and outside the house erged the figure of a Cai Jing Taoist.
Clap!
The Cai Jing Taoist stood tens of ters away and lightly pointed his finger.
The power of the Void One Finger struck the human form, instantly causing it to explode entirely.
Boom!!!!
A huge dark red fireball engulfed the area within hundreds of ters in a blink, and also engulfed the safe house Black Black Spirit.
“F**k!” Yu Hong couldn’t help but curse, finding the external array was damaged by about 30% in an instant.
The explosion ca too quickly and suddenly, with imnse power. Almost comparable to a small-scale nuclear explosion.
A few seconds later, after the flas faded, not only was the safe house array damaged, but even the Cai Jing Taoist couldn’t teleport in ti and was directly blown away….
“What the hell is this place!?” Yu Hong could only curse briefly before seeing that dozens of ters away, black human figures rose again, roaring as they approached.
No words, no communication, only the nacing figures roaring and charging.
Rumble!!
A series of explosions echoed.
The surface of Black Black Spirit began to show cracks once more.
What frustrated Yu Hong imnsely was that these humanoids seed like they were designed to self-destruct.
They would explode once they got within a certain distance of the safe house.
And the explosions were trendously powerful.
After withstanding over a dozen, Yu Hong imdiately summoned the Fear Shadow Cai Jing Taoist for long-range attacks.
Only then did he barely manage to keep the erging black human figures within a certain range.
Standing at the window, he looked outside at the continuous explosions with a grim expression.
“If it were anyone else, they’d have been blasted to smithereens by now,” he muttered, lowering his gaze to the red line.
Finding that the red line still pointed in a certain direction.
He imdiately controlled Black Black Spirit to move slowly in that direction.
After traveling for over an hour.
Finally, the black humanoids ahead began to decrease. And the surrounding terrain began to gradually rise.
A large stone tablet, entirely crimson like a red crystal, appeared at the end of the horizon.
Upon seeing it, Yu Hong hurried to speed up.
As the distance shortened, the surrounding black humanoids beca fewer.
Coming within fifty ters of the stone tablet, the black humanoids disappeared completely, no longer erging from the ground.
Everything around also fell silent.
With subtle clicking sounds, Black Black Spirit approached the tablet, and through the window, Yu Hong could make out the inscriptions.
‘Fei Hongzi again?’ he thought, surprised to see the na, not expecting it to be left by the refugee from the last world, Fei Hongzi.
‘….Here could not resist successfully either. The Nann Emperor was undoubtedly the mightiest and most wise emperor in history. For three hundred seventy years, Nann ruled over seventy-one life planets in the vicinity, consolidating a population and power in the tens of billions to fight against the Source Disaster.’
‘Unfortunately, such trendous strength was still defeated.’
‘Hundreds of billions of troops sacrificed themselves for the holand, fearless of death. Every citizen of the empire did their best, unafraid of life and death. I admire such a great empire, yet feel sorrowful. Even such a mighty empire couldn’t fend off the dreadful Source Disaster; what else, who else, can bring the final hope??’
‘I will continue wandering, continue searching, for the ultimate hope to counter the Source Disaster.—Fei Hongzi.’
“….Seventy-one life planets….” Yu Hong was sowhat shocked, “If the tablet’s record is true, and even such power couldn’t fend off the Source Disaster…. What about Quan He…. What about the Floating City….”
Yu Hong’s mood rapidly plumted to the bottom.
He looked at the red line in his hand; the line was gently snapping and crumbling away.
And below the stone tablet, a new red line quietly ford.
Evidently, this was Fei Hongzi’s trace left for future generations.
In other words, if he was walking the path of life, then these traces would constitute the path of survival.
But if he was heading toward a dead end, it could still serve as a reference for those who followed.
Yu Hong opened the window and retrieved the red line into his palm.
Watching the red line float gently, its end pointing in a new direction, Yu Hong knew this was where Fei Hongzi next headed.
Since after passing the Phoenix Eye, allowing the Savior Ship to act freely would definitely be unsustainable. It’s better to follow this Fei Hongzi during the waiting reinforcent period to see what he went through. Maybe he could gain sufficient reference information.
Yu Hong contemplated and imdiately steered Black Black Spirit, following the red line back into the Wind Disaster, flying towards the next destination.

At this ti, within the Floating City,
Margaret stared blankly as the old mage of Vina Tower handed her the bill.
Utterly despondent.
Three hundred fifty thousand!!
Three hundred fifty thousand for a single prophecy from the master, only to co up with ‘unable to investigate’!!?
If it weren’t for the recorded video proving Master Vena wasn’t intentionally being perfunctory, but seriously conducting a complete prophecy,
Margaret might really want to die.
“To be honest,” the old mage sighed, “with such a situation, there’s only one possibility, and that is a power far beyond a Level Seven master’s mana was obscuring the prophecy’s detection. With that kind of capability and motivation… in my view, perhaps only one entity fits.”
“Forest Sea City!!!” Margaret suddenly realized. Indeed, only Forest Sea City had the power and motivation. If an influential person from there arranged a trial for their protégé, they might genuinely undertake such a task.
