…
Leylin ignored the two fallen bodies as he stepped forward to stood at where the pit was, his face expressionless. He only furrowed his brows and looked forward.
“Lub-dub! Lub-dub, lub-dub!”
The Yin Pearls in his meridians pulsed even more merrily. After coming here, the Yin Pearls had been extremely active.
Looking at the floating, glistening crystal, Leylin could feel the mysterious power coming out of the crystal must have been resonating with the Yin Pearls at a distance, the two sides seemed to have some sort of mysterious connection.
However, standing outside the pit, Leylin didn’t start. He had some other ideas about his further actions.
“It would take a few days for the Shura King and Shura Blood Guards to come here, till then everyone is my enemy and I am the primary target. Although I have confidence in my hiding skills but you can never count out the means of a Sky Realm Expert especially Zack Quack who’s the king of swamp.” Leylin looked above with a detached expression despite the precarious situation he’s in.
Although no one who’s inside the God Area and still living has seen Leylin enter and not aware of his existence but they would discover about someone else entering after they come out.
“When the God Area collapses and everyone is thrown out, with no one below Earth Realm appearing they would have no idea of what transpired inside. But for that some needs to be sacrificed.” Leylin turned his attention to the two fallen unconscious bodies of Mable and Demi, if these two return back to Yin Field then they would definitely know something is up.
After interrogating them and confirming about Leylin, they would then launch a hunt.
“What to do? To be honest, I am not afraid of their pursuit. I have already delayed much and need to hold out for 3-4 days before Blood Guards appear, and by then if all the Sky Realm Warriors return I won’t get a chance to get any benefits.” Leylin cracked his neck and sighed. He obviously wants to gain benefits but not at the risk of his life, anything unusual can occur.
“I guess I’ll let these two live while using mental suppression on their consciousness to make sure they remain useless for any information till the last moment, the appearance of these two would prompt them to stay, and their unconscious state would further stimulate them to get to the bottom of the matter. The Sky realm warriors must have someway to awake them eventually even if I use my strongest non lethal form of soul attacks.” Leylin sat cross legged as he eventually decided to go with this route, he had thought of various ways including erasing all evidence, or letting them disclose his appearance or even stirring up more trouble but eventually minding the current state of affairs he settled on this route.
With this way, no body would have the heart to return and after knowing of Leylin and his onslaught against others and possible possession of whatever was inside then, partially for revenge and mostly for the treasure they would try to hunt down the only person who’s the prime subject. And by then, it would have already been too late as Shura king would take revenge on the attackers and offenders of the Alaister Family heir.
Leylin pondered for a moment, then decide to cultivate peacefully after roughly calculating the time.
“The only one who would be suspicions of my appearance and triumph here would be Ordell. She knows that Original Star Spirit Imprint would be inherited and would definitely be suspicious of me and initiate a search immediately but, with her desire to acquire me as a spy for Three God Sect under the Omega family she won’t disclose this matter to anyone. Even if she finds me which is unlikely, it won’t matter. ”
….
Time passed slowly as Leylin kept cultivating thinking nothing of the anxiety and anticipation outside and the irritation of the many warriors of Earth realm and above stuck inside.
“It’s about time.” Leylin look upwards and observed the changes. The space was slowly and slowly loosing it’s dim, this place wasn’t meant to be opened for an extended period of time because of it’s limited energy but despite that, it won’t be a burden to stretch it a few days which Leylin did but he definitely doesn’t want the God Area to run out of energy and collapse landing him right in the mouths of half a dozen Sky Realm warriors.
Leylin stirred the Yin energy inside of him as the Yin Qi slowly gathered and flew out of his palm, forming into a giant hand made of dark green light which grabbed at that crystal from far away.
Wisps of strange Yin power were released from the six Yin Pearls. The Yin power was like invisible strands of thread that seemed to also flow into the crystal.
The dark glowing green hand slowly pressed down and steadily landed on the light shield of the crystal.
“Pop!”
Suddenly a slit cracked open in the light shield. The barrier softened down by itself and opened up wide for his dark glowing hand.
The crystal suddenly gave off a beautiful dazzling light and slowly floated towards that big dark glowing hand.
—————-
The starlight pervaded the sky and fell like rain drops, gathering on the shiny crystal at the heart of the stone statue.
At that time, the starlight in the crystal was flowing in its pathway, shiny and captivating.
The crystal floated up into the sky, slowly moving towards the huge black hand made of Yin Qi.
Dragged by the Yin Qi hand, the crystal finally flew out of the deep hole and flew over near Leylin.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Great thunder came out from the deep hole. After the crystal left the hole, the crystal wall exploded and broke into pieces, giving off a dazzling light.
The starlight in the sky dimmed at once in comparison.
As the deep hole collapsed, the mysterious star river pattern in the sky started moving slowly as it turned vague, while the Yin Qi, poisonous gas and bunches of flame clouds began to diffuse.
Looking down from the sky, one would find that the mountain-like stone statue had begun to crack and dissolve.
At the same time.
Between the statue’s heels, the group of Ben and Elrod ould clearly feel the abnormalities occurring within the space, and the power that was constraining them began to decrease.
Their expressions changed and they immediately tried to operate their energy to free themselves from their constraints.
They were trapped for a long time and had failed to escape after many ties, so they finally quietened down.
But seeing that the space was going to collapse and the restrictive power was decreasing, they had to try one more time.
The two legs of the statue were cracking while the suppressive power in the heels was weakening…
As the pressure from the stone statue was getting weaker and weaker, Ben Parks and Elrod Crystal’s struggle took effect as the stone on the heels began to crack.
If it went on like this, they could get out from under the heels in a short time.
—
At the heart of the stone statue.
The deep hole collapsed and the crystal wall exploded, while the odd dazzling light from the crystal wall turned colorful and slowly disappeared.
Both the crystal wall and the light existed to protect that crystal. So when the crystal flew out, their mission was complete.
That huge black hand approached with the crystal and it glittered with a dazzling starry light above Leylin’s head.
That crystal was like the essence of shooting stars, containing mysterious powers from the stars.
Leylin stretch out his hand to catch the crystal floating above his head.
“Boom!”
The crystal suddenly broke and gave off numerous lights which burrowed into his body.
[An anomaly has been discovered in the body of the Host!] The A.I. Chip’s voice sounded.
Wisps of cool starlight filled with mysterious star power went into his body’s pores and concentrated themselves at his heart.
“Bang, bang! Bang, bang!”
Dull drum beats came from his heart. In the dazzling starlight, Leylin’s heart strangely changed. The starlight rooted itself in his heart and became a part of it.
In an instant, Leylin’s heart changed as if it had turned into the crystal and began to sparkle.
After a while, his heart went back to normal. The starlight integrated into his heart and gave off a cool air.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Horrible blasts came from the heels. The group of Sky Realm warriors worked together and finally shattered the heels to escape.
Those Sky Realm experts flew up into the sky one after another to see what was happening above.
The odd space collapsed and the mysterious star river produced a light pillar.
The light pillar fell from the sky and struck him.
“Here we go!”
Leylin, who was standing in the deep hole, disappeared at once!
“Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!”
That odd space slowly cracked like a broken mirror!
After the crystal left, that broad stone statue cracked, piece by piece, and turned into dust.
Between the endless booms, the scenes shifted quickly. The group including Ben felt that they walked out from a broken mirror. From the cracks in the collapsed space they could see the Yin Valley.
In the Yin Valley.
One after another cracks appeared in the sky filled with colorful lightning. Some cracks looked like star rivers falling from the sky.
Ordell looked indifferent, and mumbled, “It’s been eleven days. We finally get there.”
“Miss, who do you think the Original Seal of the Martial Spirit would be within?”
“We will know when they comes out. The disappearance of Yin Qi, and the odd way we acquired the Gate of Heaven map. It’s all part of a bigger plan and we are being shuffled like pawns.” Ordell looked indifferent as she said, “There are many contenders but that Berkan Lenoir is very suspicious, how can he have come here without help of anyone and that confidence when he entered. He’s definitely not your average warrior.”
“But, I don’t think he will appear in the Yin Valley.”
“Why?”
“That old guy planned everything. If that guy was still capable, maybe he could send him to the Endless Sea. However, looking at the collapsing space, that old guy must have used much of his energy creating all this. I guess he could only send his successor to somewhere far off in the Dead Swamp to make him comfortable for a short time.”
“What should we do?”
“Let’s go. Leave the Yin Valley and head off into the Dead Swamp.”
“Miss, do we need to kill the successor when we find him?”
“Find him first.”The three including Ordell had witnessed the changes in the Yin Valley and they had foreseen the result, so they left the Yin Valley quietly without informing anyone.
Half an hour later after Ordell had left, some human figures suddenly showed up from one of the cracks in the sky.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Warriors below the Sky Realm all fell from the sky and their heads were spinning.
People at the lowest Realms, Mable and Demi who were unconscious, were bleeding heavily from their mouths and looked miserable tumbling hardly on the ground.
Looking bitter, Paul and Chad cried out immediately after they stood up, “Young Master! Young Master!”
Elrod, Ben Parks, Zack Quack and the Lord of the Dark World, who were at the Sky Realm, floated in the sky, and gradually landed while looking around in confusion.
“Kyle!” Elord roared and stared at Aaron and Harold, “Where is my Kyle!”
Aaron and Harold had also been trapped under the statue’s heel, but not with Elrod, so he didn’t see them in that odd space.
“Young Master entered too! I don’t know where he is now.” Aaron looked gloomy and anxious, “We were trapped by the stone statue as soon as we entered it and we found the chance to escape only when the odd space collapsed.”
“Kyle! Kyle!” Elrod roared and asked in haste, “Where are you!”
“David!” The Lord of the Dark World’s face changed as he couldn’t find David and began to shout along with Elrod.
Since their bellows echoed through the Yin Field, they could hear them once they returned to the Yin Field.
However, they received no response.
“Kyle is still inside!” Elrod turned pale and looked up into the sky, to find that the cracks had mysteriously closed somehow.
The space had entirely collapsed!
In a glance, Elrod realized this cruel reality. His face looked horrifying like an irritated demon beast, while Polar Ice Flame came out from his eyes.
“Where is he? Wake them up and ask!” With Polar Ice Flame in his eyes, Elrod looked to the unconscious Mable and Demi in a rage. The were the only ones alive and most likely to know anything or even posses the treasure.
“We tried to awake them but there seems to be something wrong with their mind space. They are both knocked.” Aaron who immediately stepped forward to fulfill his command looked dumb under Elrod’s terrifying eyes, unable to speak.
All the others have also secretly tried to scan them to gain something but to no avail.
Elrod was impatient and his eyes glittered. He stretched out his hand to send bunch of blue light flew into her body.
“There is something wrong, something must have happen to them while inside. We need to wake them up to get to the depth of the matter.” Elrod said to everyone.
“I agree.” Wulfric agreed.
“Her conditions are very peculiar, most probably related to a soul impairment. We need to be careful otherwise we won’t get anything.” Ben used his perception to check their condition and said while frowning his eyebrows. He was the most calm because he didn’t allow Neelam to go inside like others and didn’t lose anyone.

Meanwhile, in a secluded area in the Yin Valley, a black shadow was leaving swiftly.
