Chapter 1855 Cthulhu’s Malice
“What do you guys know about this mystic territory?” After Bai asked that, Fourth Liege fell silent for a moment. He only spoke slowly after seemingly sorting out his thoughts.
“According to our speculations, this mystic territory might be called R’lyeh. It’s a hopeless ocean. Meanwhile, the ruler of the ocean is called Cthulhu. He’s a powerhouse at dominator-level rank-6 at least.”
Fourth Liege did not say that through voice transmission. Instead, he said it out loud.
Everyone present heard his words loud and clear.
“Is this Cthulhu… Aza’s clone?” Bai asked curiously. Seeing that he did not speak through voice transmission, he asked out loud this time.
“No. On a certain level, he’s considered Aza’s descendant. Under Aza’s command, he’s been placed in charge of the water element. Compared to the cultivators who major in the water element, he was innately created as a water element Dominator. Therefore, He’s more powerful than all water element powerhouses even if they are also dominator-level rank-6 powerhouses.”
“Also, although the mystic territory is just Aza’s dreamland fragment, this R’lyeh isn’t just that. It’s also Cthulhu’s Kingdom. As soon as one enters, it means entering his Kingdom. There are only two ways to get out. The first is if Cthulhu releases the person, and the second is if he dies and his Kingdom collapses.” Many people present looked terrible when they listened up to this point. Most of them began to hesitate about whether they should go in. Even the people from Star Palace and Snow Domain could not help but have their facial expressions changed.
“In this Kingdom, the entire ocean is Cthulhu’s world. Not only is the ocean filled with extremely dense Abyssal energy, but there are many Abyssal monsters everywhere. There are dependents at dominator-level rank-5 among them.”
Fourth Liege paused as he spoke up to this point. He turned his head to look in the direction where everyone was gathered.
“My personal advice is that it’s best for people who have combat strength lower than dominator-level rank-5 to give up on the exploration this time. The frequency of mystic territories opening is high now. There will be many other mystic territories that you guys can explore later on. There’s no need to go through futile trials here.”
“Fourth Liege, this white-haired guy is only at dominator-level rank-3. Are you advising him to leave too?” A bald man among the crowd bit the bullet and shouted.
His combat strength was the same as what Bai was currently displaying, which was dominator-level rank-3.
Fourth Liege was taken aback. He could not help but glance at Bai helplessly. Naturally, he knew that Bai had disguised his combat strength. He did not want people to know his real ability. Therefore, it would be terrible if Fourth Liege exposed him.
Bai shook his head helplessly. His aura began to skyrocket. Within a single breath of time, he elevated his combat strength to dominator-level rank-5 and then stopped. The crowd was shocked to see that. Even Star Lord s.h.i.+lun and Boundless Snow had surprise-filled faces.
Star Lord s.h.i.+lun finally understood why he experienced that “illusion” earlier, ‘So it wasn’t just in my head. This guy hid his combat strength! Also, his real combat strength shouldn’t be merely dominator-level rank-5!’ He spoke again after falling into a daze for a moment.
“I personally trust Heaven Secret’s source.” He turned his head to say to the people next to him as soon as he said that, “Don’t come with me this time. Wait for me outside.”
“But Star Lord…”
“If it’s really as Fourth Liege said, I might not have the strength to spare to take care of you guys later. Instead, I might even end up being distracted,” Star Lord s.h.i.+lun said in all seriousness.
Meanwhile, on Snow Domain’s side not far away, Boundless Snow turned his head to instruct the two ladies around him after a moment of thought, “You guys will wait outside too.”
Seeing the actions of Star Palace and Snow Domain, many of them began to harbor the intention of retreating.
Although this was the case, only a small number of people left directly, most of them decided to stay and watch.
They wanted to see if these top organizations were tricking them in order to get them to leave, or whether there would really only be dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses going in.
Bai ignored their reactions, and he asked Fourth Liege a few more questions.
The fourth top organization arrived…
Later on, the fifth and sixth top organizations arrived one after the other.
The six top organizations had dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses with them.
There were either one or two of them. Seeing that two lieges from Heaven’s Secret were here, many came over to greet them. They looked solemn after hearing the rough information about the mystic territory. Naturally, they believed that Heaven’s Secret’s lieges would not lie about such matters.
As Bai had disguised his combat strength to dominator-level rank-5, given that he was alone, the few top organizations placed their attention on him.
Star Lord s.h.i.+lun, who was an extrovert, even seized the opportunity to talk to him.
“Hey, which organization are you from?”
“Sword Alliance.” Bai did not hide that information. After all, the Sword Alliance’s existence was not considered a secret. Moreover, when the war started, the other Sword Alliance members would partic.i.p.ate as well. It was only a matter of time before the other organizations would find out.
“Sword Alliance? Forgive me for being ignorant, but is it a reclusive organization?” Star Lord s.h.i.+lun asked honestly.
“I guess.” Bai nodded and gave an ambiguous answer.
He could not tell him that the Sword Alliance had only been established in the infinite universe for less than half a year.
“Then your ability must be the most powerful in the Sword Alliance, right?” Star Lord s.h.i.+lun continued to try and get Bai to spill more details.
“No,” Bai denied the claim decisively. He instantly thought of Lin Huang, whose ability seemed to be endless.
“You’re already at dominator-level rank-5, yet you’re not the most powerful?!” Star Lord s.h.i.+lun raised his brows. The information that Bai provided was crucial. “Chief is more powerful than I am.” Bai gave a simple reply and glanced at him. “There are a couple of them who have similar abilities to mine.”
Star Lord s.h.i.+lun saw the ridicule in Bai’s eyes. He knew that Bai revealed this information intentionally and knew that he was trying to make him spill more details. He felt a little awkward at the moment. “Ah, there are many powerhouses hidden in the Sword Alliance then!”
After chatting for a little while, Star Lord s.h.i.+lun gave himself an excuse to leave quickly.
Bai did not find it odd. Everyone was curious, so it made sense that he came over to inquire after learning about the Sword Alliance out of nowhere. After all, it was impossible for a dominator-level rank-5 powerhouse like him who appeared out of nowhere to not attract any attention.
Moreover, the Sword Alliance might soon be famous, so there was no need to hide it. Telling the world that the Sword Alliance was a reclusive organization now was better than appearing out of nowhere later. After Star Lord s.h.i.+lun, a few representatives of the top organizations soon came over to talk to him one after the other.
Bai basically revealed all of the information that Lin Huang told him to tell others before.
In reality, the information he revealed was roughly the same as what was happening at the Sword Alliance. It was just that it was summarized a little.
The couple of top organizations soon gained a rough understanding of the Sword Alliance.
In a nutsh.e.l.l, it was a reclusive, ancient organization.
The chief should have already surpa.s.sed dominator-level rank-5, and there were three to four dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses, while there were tens of dominator-level powerhouses.
Just as the people were busy socializing, the mystic territory suddenly trembled.
They instantly fixed their eyes on it. Seeing that the fog began to scatter and release blue light…
“The mystic territory has opened!”
As a shout emerged from the crowd, and the two lieges from Heaven’s Secret entered directly without hesitation.
The dominator-level rank-5 and dominator-level rank-6 powerhouses from the few top organizations caught up to them instantly, but left their subordinates behind.
The crowd who had gathered earlier became a little hesitant when they saw that it was only the dominator-level rank-5 powerhouses from the top organizations that went in.
Without hesitation, Bai got up and flew in directly.
After he did, a dominator-level rank-4 among the crowd flew in a while later.
The members from the top organizations did not stop him.
Some of them among the crowd saw that and bit the bullet and went in as well.
Just as the people who were left behind were still hesitating, the fog suddenly shrunk, turning into a giant, blue monster face, grinning at the people who were outside.
An extremely terrifying aura that exuded an eerie sense of malice, and intense fishy stench, spread out instantly. Everyone present could not move, and even breathing became difficult.
Everyone even smelled the scent of death. Fortunately, this terrifying scene only lasted for a moment before it faded automatically.
When they snapped back to their senses, the mystic territory had been sealed completely.
“It’s a trap! That guy intentionally opened the entrance to let them in…” Someone among the crowd could not help but exclaim.
At the same time, because of fear, the people outside looked extremely terrible.
