Before any of them could say a thing, there was a flash of white light that appeared..
When that flash of white light disappeared, they found that they were in the middle of nowhere.
This was a place that didn't have a single thing around, other than a cave that was in front of them.
Since there was nothing here other than the cave, they turned their attention to this cave.
They couldn't feel anything when they used their spiritual senses to search the cave, but that wasn't because of how deep the cave was. Rather, it was as if there was something that was around the cave that had blocked their spiritual senses from entering.
It was like there was some kind of barrier around this cave.
Since they weren't able to see through this cave with their spiritual senses, then the only thing that they could do was head in and see what was there.
After all, it wasn't as if they would be able to escape this place if they avoided this cave.
If they just walked off, who knows if they would even be able to find a way out of here. If they actually did walk off, they might just become more and more lost until they wouldn't be able to find a single thing.
In time, they would just be trapped here forever.
So it was better to take the path that was placed in front of them instead of trying to force their way out.
But they didn't dare let their guards down as they headed into the cave.
At their level of cultivation, it wasn't a problem for them to see in this dark cave.
However, this cave wasn't that long in the first place.
They only had to travel a bit before they reached the end of this path.
It led them to a cave that wasn't that big and wasn't that small.
This cave didn't seem to have anything other than a single pedestal that was in the center of it.
The moment that they saw the pedestal though, they couldn't help raising their guards.
They could feel the aura that was coming from this pedestal, so they knew that whatever was on it wasn't simple.
As they came closer, they were able to see just what was on it and they couldn't help revealing a shocked look when they did.
That was because there was a single finger on the pedestal.
There wasn't anything else there, just a single finger bone that seemed to be made of a kind of material that they didn't recognize. That was because this finger bone was golden in colour rather than just simply white.
They had no idea what kind of creature this finger bone belonged to, but it seemed like it was very similar in biology to a human. It seemed very much like a human's index finger.
As they stood there around that finger bone, they didn't know what they should do.
Since they had entered this cave, they had found that they were able to use their spiritual sense again.
With that spiritual sense, they had already swept through the entire cave and hadn't found a single thing yet.
It seemed that this cave was completely empty other than this finger bone on a pedestal.
Since that was the case, what should they do with this finger bone?
Should they destroy it or should they take it with them?
After a moment of not knowing what to do, they finally decided to at least approach the finger bone.
While they didn't know exactly what it was or what it would do, there was nothing to gain from just standing around here doing nothing.
So at the very least, they would try to see what would happen if they approached it.
As they came closer and closer, it didn't seem like anything was about to happen.
But then…all of a sudden, the finger bone suddenly lit up.
It was covered in a golden glow and then it suddenly started floating into the air.
When they saw this, they immediately took a step back and grouped up together.
There was no need to say anything since they all knew what they were doing. They all took a proper formation where they would be able to cover for each other if anything happened.
There was a moment where there was a stalemate between the two sides.
The golden finger bone just floated there in the air, almost as if it was searching for something.
Then all of sudden, it turned so that the tip of the finger was pointed right at them.
As soon as they saw this, they immediately raised their barriers just in case anything happened.
All of a sudden, the golden finger bone started flying at them.
They raised their hands and expanded their barrier so that they could block the golden finger bone, but they found that it was no use at all. The moment that the golden finger bone made contact with their barriers, all of their barriers were shattered without a trace.
There was no resistance at all as the golden finger bone made its way through the barriers.
Seeing this, they decided that it was better to dodge this golden finger bone instead since it wasn't that fast.
It was at a speed that they could easily dodge, so staying put and putting up the barrier was actually the worst thing that they could do.
Without a single word, they all split up and ran off in different directions.
As soon as they did, the finger bone started changing directions.
With the direction that it was going in…it seemed like it was targeting Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knitted his brows seeing this, but there wasn't anything that he could do about this.
All he could do was do his best to dodge this finger bone and find a way to stop it.
Seeing that the finger bone wasn't going to chase them, the other three stopped and carefully observed the finger bone.
They didn't rush in since they knew that this wouldn't help anyone.
Instead of rushing in and making things worse, they carefully observed the finger bone to see if they could find a way to stop it. Or even to see if they could identify what it was.
Lin Fan had no choice but to keep the finger bone distracted while they did this.
However, the finger bone had no thoughts of going along with this plan.
It was about to reach Lin Fan and he was about to dodge out of the way, but then…the finger bone suddenly sped up.
Lin Fan tried going as fast as he could, but he found that the finger bone was already moving faster than him. Even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be able to outrun the finger bone.
With this thought, he turned to attacking.
Since defending wouldn't work, he wouldn't give up and use his powers to attack this finger bone.
Without hesitation, he gathered a black hole in front of him that blocked the finger bone from him.
This was the strongest void law that he could gather and his final attempt at fighting back.
It was just too bad that it didn't even stall the finger bone for a single second.
As soon as the finger bone made contact with the black hole, the black hole was shattered.
Lin Fan also immediately spat out a mouthful of blood from having his strongest attack shattered like it was nothing. This black hole had even contained part of his domain, which was why it was his strongest attack.
He fell to one knee after the black hole was shattered and couldn't move as the finger bone came closer and closer.
When the three others saw this, they couldn't remain idle anymore and went forward to help Lin Fan.
It was just too bad that they couldn't reach him in time.
They all tried to use their different abilities to stop the finger bone, but none of them were able to reach it in time.
The finger bone suddenly dipped as it was about to hit Lin Fan.
Instead of piercing him through the chest as they had thought, it went right to his hand and drilled into his finger.
There was a spray of blood that came out, but then there was only silence that followed.
Lin Fan had only let out a scream of pain before everything was silent.
When he looked down at it, he found…that his finger had already healed.
There wasn't a single trace of the finger bone at all.
But on the ground, there seemed to be chunks of white things just laying there.
When one looked at it closely, they could see that these were chunks of bone that were lying there on the ground.
When they came over, Angela immediately went forward to check every inch of Lin Fan's body.
Even if she acted cold normally, she was actually a very caring person and her heart had almost jumped out of her chest when she saw his blood spurt out.
After checking his body, she said, "Is there anything wrong? Are you alright?"
Lin Fan gave a slow nod before slowly saying, "I'm fine…"
All of them let out a sigh of relief after hearing that, but then Momonga couldn't help asking, "So where did that finger bone go?"
Lin Fan looked down at his hand, the one that had been attacked by the finger bone before slowly saying, "It seemed to have integrated into my hand."
"Huh?" That was the only reaction the other three could have.
