Kante of the Dark Devil Clan, Corpse Chief of the Corpse Clan, the patriarch of the Ghost Mark Clan, and the creature of the Dark Clan with the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame were the strongest four existences of the Grace Mainland. Right now, they all were present in this desolate area.
They had chased after the Demon Clan to this place despite the formidable explosion. Each of them had suffered different levels of damage. This time, they came here to ask the Demon Clan to pay a big price.
“Why do you need to go this far?” Serret frowned, but he seemed not worried at all. “Strong warriors of our Demon Clan are all here. Me and Dalon can stop Kante and Corpse Chief. Zenith, you haven’t restored your power yet. You can’t recover the part you consumed. It’s just a dream if you guys want to kill our Demon Clan. Don’t make both sides bear damage. Nobody can gain anything in the end then.”
Serret and Dalon’s power was intimidating, which wasn’t less than Kante’s and Corpse Chief’s. They could even gain the upper hand.
That creature of the Dark Clan hadn’t had a body yet. It just depended on so many Yin spirits and wandering ghosts, so it wasn’t enough to kill them.
They were afraid of Zenith of the Ghost Mark Clan the most. Anyway, Zenith hadn’t recovered fully yet. Facing many hotshots and beasts of the Demon Clan, he couldn’t gain the upper hand.
As the heaven and earth energy on the Grace Mainland was about to run out, if Zenith continued to consume his energy, his recovery would be much more difficult. If he didn’t have the competence of the King God Realm, using his body’s power to escape this continent would result in his death.
Thus, if they wanted to fight until both sides got damaged severely, it wouldn’t benefit anyone. The Demon Tribe also had Leylin, whose true competence and depth of ability wasn’t known but even still everyone was wary of him because his fame and accomplishments are as such.
A faint laughter came from the Yin Written Charm Scripture. “Serret, is it the holy land in your hearts which could solve the matters of your sorrows and your clan’s future? This is just a desolate area without a beam of energy. The seven Demogorgon statues are all damaged. Do you really think that it’s still your hope?”
Serret glanced at Leylin. “We still have hope.”
Leylin didn’t care about any of them instead he was focusing his space upanishad as well as A. I. Chip examination to find out more about the opened door.
‘I can’t locate or simulate any coordinates….. Is the end point of the teleportation formation too far?’
Kante and Corpse Chief looked at the door, their eyes brighter.
“Where does it lead to?” Zenith also noticed the door from the Yin Written Charm Scripture.
“No fucking clue” Dalon beamed a forced smile. “But I think it should be a solution. What do you think about getting in there and exploring instead of spending time quarreling here?”
Kante and Corpse Chief kept silent. That gloomy halo didn’t say anything, either. Zenith also kept his mouth shut, as if he were considering his suggestion.
While standing in front of that door, Leylin was constantly studying the energy fluctuation from the seven Demogorgon statues. Gradually, he found that the magical beam of energy maintaining that small door was getting weaker over time.
‘Despite using so much of my energy and ring’s, the duration is so little? This formation is definitely very high classed from the consumption point of view.’ Leylin said quickly, “We don’t have leisure to contemplate, the door is going to close due to lack of energy.”
“Follow me if you dare.”
Then, his body flashed like a dark light, disappearing into that small door.
At the moment he disappeared, a shaking energy wave transmitted to the door, and the halo the seven Demogorgon statues were projecting got weakened by a little bit.
‘I would have preferred to send a clone first but I am not sure the energy can hold on till the clone goes back and forth.’
Everybody observed carefully. Seeing that change, they were startled as they suddenly got it.
After one person walked through the door, the energy that maintained the door would weaken by a little bit. In other words, the energy supplied to this door wasn’t enough to let many people get through the door.
After each entry, the energy would reduce. Once this energy was drained, the door would disappear.
No one knew what stood behind that door. However, since this place was the First Demon Area, and that door was created by the last beam of energy from the top seven Demogorgon statues, of course, it wasn’t just a normal door.
As the Grace Mainland has come to the end of its energy cycle, all clans understood this situation, and were trying to find the way out for their clans, to seek a chance to survive.
Perhaps, behind the door was a solution, or maybe it was perilous. But at least they knew they had a possibility.
Everyone was a bit hesitant. They exchanged looks, then dashed towards the door.
They disappeared into the door after Leylin.
The energy supporting that door got weakened the second time. If it continued this way, the door would disappear not long afterward.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
Four light silhouettes disappeared.
Crack Crack Crack!
Shattering sounds echoed from the seven Demogorgon statues as they started to crack into smaller pieces rumblingly. At this moment, as their energy had been used up, that door was dispelled.
Many members of the Demon Clan were dumbstruck on their mounts.
Many of the subordinates stormed to the door, but they couldn’t find anything. They were all grim, as regret rose in their hearts.
…
It was a vast space with many meteorolites hovering in the dark, starry sky. Those massive meteorolites suspended in the void motionlessly.
Each meteorolite was as big as an entire island in the Grace Mainland. They were bare and smooth, without a single grass. Those meteorolites had many shapes. Some were connected with each other, but most of them were separated, hovering still in the void.
They couldn’t see the end of this space, in which uncountable meteorolites floated still.
Leylin stood on one of the meteorolites, which wasn’t small or big. Leylin looked around himself and then bent his head to look at the ground.
The meteorolite under his feet was dark brown and rigid. There was no heaven and earth aura, or air. This place was several times colder than the Cold Bitter Land.
‘One can’t even breathe here but nor do I need to.’
Breathing was just a routine of warriors in his realm. It wasn’t an essential condition to survive. The energy in their bodies was the root to protect their perpetual lives.
Shortage of air wasn’t important, and low gravity wasn’t a matter. The most horrible thing was that this place didn’t have any heaven and earth energy. This place was cold with radiation and unknown dangers.
There were dozens of giant meteorolites above his head, under his feet, in front of him, and behind him; meteorolites were everywhere.
The nearest meteorolite was around one thousand miles away from him. In this dark space, energy tornados seemed to hide everywhere. This kind of energy could even shake his soul.
This place looked like a meteorolite sea. Countless meteorolites were scattered disorderedly and chaotically, seeming to hide tremendous dangers.
‘If I didn’t burn my Immortal Demon Blood and used one drop to prophesied about this journey I wouldn’t have come here so rashly. With the increase in my strength my divination ability has also improved, I am sure that this isn’t the end but just another beginning.’
In front of Leylin’s eyes, he often saw explosions in the farthest place naked eyes could see. The shockwaves of those explosions transmitted from unknown distance, and created formidable impacts that were like ferocious aura attacking people, cracking their hearts.
Under his feet was a formation built of hundreds of giant bones. That formation was obviously broken, as Leylin could see many broken bones. There was no energy moving anymore.
Those bones, which still had energy, shimmered faintly. Not long afterward, Dalon, Serret, Aart, Jima and Kante appeared one after another.
Until Corpse Chief, the last one who emerged from the bone formation, arrived, the bones that still had energy shattered immediately. They exploded, leaving only dust.
Under the energy impact, all bones turned into dust. In this weightless environment, bone dust was like sand grains scattering into the immense darkness.
After eight people from the First Demon Area arrived, they hadn’t said anything yet as they were quietly observing the situation, dumbstruck.
There was no heaven and earth energy to be supplied. Dangers were waiting everywhere, and they needed to use energy to protect their bodies continually in this cold, dark, vast area, where energy tornados were hiding everywhere.
This place was much more dangerous than the First Demon Area. Everything in their sight was perilously dangerous.
“It seems we are in deep shit… ” Dalon spoke.
Everybody fell into silence.
After a while, Kante of the Dark Spirit Clan suddenly shouted with his gloomy face. “Serret, is this the place of hope you said? You’ve brought me to a dead road.”
Corpse Chief, Zenith inside the Yin Written Charm Scripture, and the creature with the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame, got angry. Energy rippled from them, as if they wanted to take back justice.
The Demon Clan members couldn’t snap back. Looking at the meteorolite sea in front of them, which was even more desolate than the First Demon Area, they smiled miserably, as they had no solution.
“Shut your traps.” Leylin glanced at the Yin Written Charm Scripture, talking faintly. “Without the energy to supply, when we fight, we can’t refill our power. Conflict would lead to catastrophe.”
Even if the True God Realm warriors used the top-grade Essence Crystals in the Grace Mainland to refill their power, it was like putting salt into the ocean.
If they ran out of energy, it was impossible to survive in this perilous area.
His words worked. The four people calmed down their intention of attacking them.
“Can we go back?” Zenith’s feeble voice came from the Yin Written Charm Scripture. “The Grace Mainland’s our homeland. Although its energy was about to reach the end… at least we still have some. It’s much better than this place. If we can return, I won’t care about what your Demon Clan’s done anymore.”
Leylin immediately destroyed his fantasy. “Look down the bone formation has exploded into dust. How could we get back? Don’t discard rationality before precarious circumstances, think logically.”
“What to do then?” Corpse Chief was calm.
“Who knows how to get out of this place? Staying here isn’t a good solution. We have no idea about this place, and we are consuming our energy every second. We can’t endure for a long time. We need to find the exit quickly.”
“I have no idea.” Serret sighed.
“Move on.” Leylin suddenly said. “We can only move forward now.”
“Nonsense!” Zenith couldn’t help but scold. “Who doesn’t recognize the dangers in between the meteorolites. Your words are useless. If you have the guts, and you aren’t afraid of death, you can try first. Let’s see if you can cross it.”
Leylin didn’t mind his harsh tone.
“If you have any other interpretations then please do share your sagely advice, Lord Zenith.”
Zenith choked on his words and didn’t’t say anything.
“We can only cross the meteorolite sea. We have no choice, and we can’t stay here for a long time. If we’ve consumed much of our energy, it would be harder to cross the sea,” The dim halo suddenly said, after having been silent since the beginning. “I can go there first. If it’s too dangerous, I can always come back.”
He paused for a while and then continued. “You, that human kid, you come with me. I don’t have a body. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sense dangers. If you go with me, we can see the dangers between the meteorolites clearer.”
Kante, Corpse Chief, and Zenith got cheered up and nodded continually.
“Yin Spirit, your suggestion is not bad. We agree,” said Zenith.
He didn’t know what the name of the other was, but since he had the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame, he always called him Yin Spirit. The other had no objection, as he accepted this addressing.
Kante and Corpse Chief nodded to show their agreement.
Dalon and Serret wanted to stay something, but Leylin spoke up, “I have no problem with that.”
“Take caution Berkan!” Dalon put on his savage face, looking at Yin Spirit. How could they not understand his scheme, Everyone here has heard the rumours that Leylin has heaven flames and as the master of Yin Spirit Ghost Flame the Dark clan Yin Spirit’s goal couldn’t be more clear.
Normally, soul class living forms could be immune to almost all kinds of dangers. Although Yin Spirit looked generous as he volunteered to take risks, he surely had some dark schemes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to drag Leylin with him.
“Okay.. ” Leylin nodded and turned into a beam of light, shooting into the dark, cold void in front of them like a meteor.
As soon as he got into the void, he disappeared immediately, and his living energy fluctuation seemed to vanish into thin air too. The hotshots standing on the meteorolite couldn’t sense him anymore.
Everybody was startled, as fear arose in their hearts. They were scared of the areas between those meteorolites even more.
Even though Yin Spirit had said that he wanted to pioneer that area, seeing the anomaly of space, he regretted his decision immediately. He lingered, not wanting to go anymore.
Dalon and Serret put on a cold visage. Evil light sparkled in their eyes, looking at that dim halo.
Kante, Corpse Chief, and the Yin Written Charm Scripture also looked at him, as if they were urging him to move.
Yin Spirit had to go. He swayed at his spot for a while before gingerly flying towards the direction Leylin left. At this moment, everybody could see bunches of Yin spirits and wandering ghosts appearing from that dim halo. They were showing their fangs and claws, which could tingle people’s scalp.
“After surveying the place, you should hurry to come back. We will discuss and find the solution.” Zenith pretended to be nice, giving advice. Then, he continued to talk calmly. “Be careful. This foreign land’s dangerous. Don’t fall into any traps.”
Yin Spirit cursed under his breath. Anyway, he had no choice but to follow Leylin.
Everybody felt more insecure. As anxiety rose in their hearts, their eyes got distressed, thinking that they were too careless in entering the foreign land this time.
In the cold darkness where Leylin couldn’t see his own fingers, he floated lonely.
Flows of his Soul Consciousness were like the pure cotton threads releasing from his Sea of Consciousness. They were like invisible beams, scattering around to perceive the situation just like his senses. This place was cold and quiet. He found no energy waves of living beings.
The meteorolite he had arrived on first was out of his sight at this moment. Using naked eyes, he couldn’t find any of its traces.
Without gravity, his speed wasn’t held back. It was much faster than when he was in the Grace Mainland. His body moved agilely like the willow catkin. He felt like some powers were supporting him at this moment.
A wisp of eerie green light appeared behind him, and energy fluctuations of living beings became clearer.
It was the creature of the Dark Clan, the one that had absorbed the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame. He finally came.
The other didn’t hurry to approach Leylin, as he was bobbing and swaying one thousand meters behind him. It seemed the dim halo wanted to wait and see Leylin storming into the energy storm first, and then decide what he should do next.
“I don’t have time to play with you. Come here and give me the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame.” An ominous voice screeched as Leylin prepared to attack without delay. Leylin who understands the Yin Spirit scheme was quite in fact more eager to snatch his heaven flame from him.
