"Let"s go up and take a look!"
He Lao was bewildered, but he quickly became excited. He circulated the essence force in his body and was about to jump up.
Jiang Yi stopped him and said, "He Lao, let me go first. I still have two Fire Spirit Rocks. If it is really dangerous up there, I will be able to deal with it."
"No!"
He Lao was abnormally firm as he spoke, "If it wasn"t because of our two clans, Young Master Yi will not be implicated in this. How can I let Young Master Yi take risks? Young Master Yi, don"t even try to convince me. This Old He might be slow-witted, but I still have the strength to protect myself."
"Very well then…"
Jiang Yi let out a helpless sigh. If Jiang Yi tried to convince any further, He Lao would think that Jiang Yi was looking down on him. Jiang Yi took out a rope in the Fire Spirit Pearl, handed it over to He Lao, and said, "Be careful. If there is any danger, come back down immediately."
He Lao did the same moves like Jiang Yi and rushed at the wall, taking a few steps on the wall to jump upwards. There was an obvious difference between Jiang Yi and a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert. Jiang Yi could only jump slightly over sixty meters, but He Lao leaped up all the way effortlessly and grabbed onto the hole. He then pulled himself up.
Jiang Yi was looking intently without turning away, and he didn"t even dare to let out a breath of air. If the second floor was exactly the same—and there wasn"t any exit, they would be trapped here until they die. His Fire Spirit Pearl only had two more Fire Spirit Rocks, and they would only be able to ascend to the third floor at most.
He Lao"s body quickly entered the second floor. An ecstatic voice suddenly echoed from within. "Hahaha, Young Master Yi! We can go out!"
"Ah?"
Jiang Yi"s eyes lit up as he waited for the rope to be dropped down. He immediately jumped on the rope and climbed up to the second floor. As soon as he climbed up, he scanned the surroundings; and his eyes lit up again as he exclaimed, "Teleportation array!"
The second floor looked exactly the same as the first floor, but the only difference was the teleportation array at the corner. There wasn"t a single skeleton in this floor because everyone that was teleported here could teleport away. It didn"t matter where they would end up; it was still a way out.
The two of them didn"t enter the teleportation array immediately but checked the surroundings instead. After making sure that this floor was the same as the first floor, they slowly walked towards the teleportation array.
"Young Master Yi. Wait here and let Old He scout the way first."
Jiang Yi originally wanted to go in right away, but He Lao held him back. Jiang Yi didn"t agree this time and said, "Let"s go in together. It will be troublesome if the teleportation array brings us to different places. It will be better if the two of us are together."
"En. That is true."
He Lao didn"t insist anymore and drew the heaven artifact sword while Jiang Yi drew his Fire Dragon Sword, too. The two of them rushed into the teleportation array together.
Buzz!
The moment the two of them stepped into the teleportation array, it lit up and had a flash of white light while the two of them vanished without a trace.
Buzz!
Once Jiang Yi felt his feet landing on the ground, he immediately released the Ma.s.sacre Intent and scanned the area with lightning speed. With a quick glance, he and He Lao both had this startled expression.
The two of them was actually on an isolated island which was surrounded by the sea. There were countless little islands and reefs in the distance. Jiang Yi could even clearly see the fish that were swimming in the sea.
"Where is this?"
Jiang Yi was bewildered. He even squatted down to touch the sand and used the Fire Dragon Sword to cleave at the sea. Once he saw the sea water rippling and splashing, he was certain that this wasn"t an illusion zone; and he was certain that they were teleported to this isolated island.
"Eh?"
He realized that He Lao didn"t reply and turned to look, which caused him to instantly reveal a bitter smile. He forgot that he was releasing the Ma.s.sacre Intent, and He Lao couldn"t even breathe after being enveloped by the killing aura. How could he even speak?
"Hu-Hu!"
After Jiang Yi withdrew the killing aura, He Lao then took quick breaths and lamented. "Young Master Yi, your Ma.s.sacre Intent is too powerful. If it progresses to the fifth rank, even regular Vajra Realm martial experts would be suppressed! Of course… if it was martial experts like Shui Youlan and Abbot Yanshe, they might not even be affected at all."
He looked around and was bewildered as well. He muttered to himself, "Could we be teleported out directly? How can it be this simple? Something isn"t right… logically, plenty of people must have entered the second floor because there were only a few dozen corpses in the first floor. Why didn"t those people who entered the Witch G.o.d"s forbidden ground come out?"
"Let"s go!"
Jiang Yi stared for a moment before he flew towards the surface of the water. He tipped on the water and borrowed strength to fly up again, dashing towards a small island in the nearby vicinity.
"Young Master Yi, be careful."
He Lao was just prepared to follow but suddenly looked within the seawater while he yelled out with a serious tone.
"Hur!"
Jiang Yi had already noticed the strange movements in the sea. When he looked down, he saw a few giant fish breaking out the water. All of them were opening their mouth and revealing razor-sharp teeth. He didn"t panic because these fish had a weak aura presence and were about the same as a tier-two demonic beast—which was of no threat to him.
Swish! Swish!
While the Ma.s.sacre Intent flashed from his body, he casually swung the Fire Dragon Sword downward and chopped up the three fish effortlessly. He then stepped on the corpse of the fish and jumped to another island that wasn"t far away.
Swish!
When He Lao flew over, he tipped on the seawater and similarly attracted a few large fish with sharp mouths. He Lao"s strength was powerful, and a casual attack from him was enough to kill all the fish while he landed on the island with ease.
"This shouldn"t be the sea region that is nearby the Stellarsky Continent. Otherwise, there wouldn"t be so many sea demons." He Lao landed on the island and spoke with a grave expression.
The Stellarsky Continent was surrounded by the sea in all directions, and there were plenty of sea demons as well. From the history of the kingdoms that were near the sea, they had sent out experts to scout the sea and would all retreat after around 100,000 miles.
There were numerous powerful sea demons in the sea, and there were a considerable number of demon kings. If they were to accidentally enter the demon king"s range of influence, they would attract the pursuit of countless sea demons. When in the sea, human martial artist"s combat strength would be affected; and a single demon king was sufficient to eliminate hundreds of Soul Travel Realm experts.
In the east of the Great Xia Kingdom was the sea, and the Zhan Clan had also sent out experts to scout the eastern sea in the past. They were rather familiar with the sea region. This sea region didn"t look like the continent"s surrounding sea region to He Lao.
"En. He Lao, this definitely isn"t the nearby sea region of the continent. It is a strange s.p.a.ce!" Jiang Yi nodded his head firmly and had this solemn expression. He pointed to the sky and said, "Look at the sky."
"Sky?"
He Lao didn"t pay any attention initially. After taking a closer look, there was indeed something wrong.
The sky was bright, but there wasn"t any sun, moon, or any stars! He muttered for a moment and brandished the longsword towards the sky, sending out a crescent-shaped essence force attack. Finally, the sky quickly illuminated. A few hundred meters up in the sky, there was a sudden appearance of a translucent fish net restriction.
"This…"
Looking towards the electric net restriction in the sky, both their hearts shuddered. This Heaven Mystics Kingdom"s Witch G.o.d was definitely at the Heaven Monarch Realm. Moreover, his proficiency in restrictions and sorcery was very profound. A Vajra Realm martial expert didn"t have the capability to create such a mystical s.p.a.ce.
The two of them looked at the vast and serene sea region while their hearts felt heavy. There must be an exit in this sea region, and that exit was probably going towards the third floor. There must be countless savage sea demons in this sea region, and it was up to heaven"s will if they were able to find the exit alive.
