After passing through the black vortex, Yun Lintian found himself in an open space. Incomparably heavy and ancient, the air and aura within this place were completely different from that of the outside world.
With a single glance, they could see that the sky and the ground in this place were all shrouded in a gloomy shade of ash gray. This spread as far as the eye could see, painting a bleak picture of desolation that was hard to put into words.
"This place…" Yun Lintian's brows furrowed as he looked around. It was called the Chaotic Sea Region, but there was no water in this place. It was as if he had just stepped into a whole new world.
Just as Yun Lintian scanned the place curiously, the empty world abruptly lit up with a cluster of profound light. In the next instant, that profound light drew even nearer as it swiftly approached him.
It was a figure covered in a hazy black mist, making Yun Lintian unable to see that figure's face or body shape.
It seemed as if that figure was carrying a long thin spear in its hand, and even that spear was completely concealed within the black mist, so it was not possible to see its true appearance.
The black figure arrived a few meters away from Yun Lintian and didn't come to a halt. In fact, it didn't even slow down. Instead, a black afterimage trailed it as it flashed by, the spear in its hand directly thrusting toward Yun Lintian's heart.
In that instant, that still and silent space had completely transformed into an abyss of hell.
This attack was far too sudden, and it was as swift as a passing comet. Following the rapturing of a beam of black light, Yun Lintian was instantly thrown backward by tens of kilometers.
A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes, and a storm rose up from his body before hurtling toward the black figure.
The black figure didn't defend or dodge that attack, instead it rushed straight into the heart of the storm. Following that, a huge black beam, which was several times more powerful than the previous one, flashed, and that storm was blasted away directly.
At the same time, the black beam pierced through space and smashed against Yun Lintian's body, once again throwing him backward fifty kilometers.
"Ugh…" Yun Lintian groaned slightly as he stabilized himself in midair. His white robe was torn and dyed red as blood seeped out of the wound on his chest.
"Big Brother Yun?" Qingqing and Linlin looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine." Yun Lintian said while looking at the black figure in the distance with a frown.
The attack earlier had already reached the fifth level of the Divine Foundation Realm. And he believed this person's true strength was even stronger than that… Who the hell was he?
At this moment, the spear in the black figure's hand pointed toward Yun Lintian, and a black light flashed. That flash of light caused the surrounding space to tremble as an aura so cold it cut at one's heart firmly locked onto Yun Lintian.
Seeing this scene, the Heaven Piercing Sword immediately appeared in Yun Lintian's hand.
Clang!
Yun Lintian swung the sword in his hand toward the incoming black light. It was a simple attack, but the Heaven Piercing Sword arced like a golden ray of the sun, bursting with terrifying power beyond imagination.
BOOM!
The golden ray blasted the incoming black light away and continued to travel across space toward the black figure that was twenty kilometers away.
The black mist around the black figure suddenly shook and expanded out, forming a huge barrier.
However, the black figure had clearly underestimated Yun Lintian's attack. When it saw the golden ray pierced through the mist like a hot knife cutting through butter, it hurriedly brought the spear forward, trying to block it.
Rumble—
The impact crazily tore the space around the black figure as the golden ray blasted into it. The deafening collision echoed throughout the area as the black figure flew backward, then landed stably on the ground.
However, before it could do anything further, Yun Lintian had already arrived beside it while swinging his sword down toward its head. A golden brilliance trailed along, producing a beautiful golden arc.
The black figure hastily dodged, but Yun Lintian's sword was too swift, and the powerful suction force carried along the sword prevented him from moving away.
Puff!
The destructive power of the strike was too strong that the black figure was cut in half directly with no way to resist. With a plop, two piles of fleshes immediately fell to the ground.
The black mist around the figure slowly disappeared the next moment, revealing a middle-aged man clad in black. Looking at his skin which was pale as a corpse, it was as if he hadn't touched the sunlight for ages.
"Human?" Yun Lintian looked at the corpse with a frown. He thought this person was a profound beast, but it didn't seem to be the case now.
"Do you feel something in this place? The aura here is different." Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
Yun Lintian raised his head slightly and said. "Indeed… There's divine energy mixing in it. And its purity is very high."
"It should be brought out by the spatial turbulences here," Hongyue said. "Since this place is influenced by the Spatial Wheel, it's normal that the spatial rifts that had occurred here could connect to other worlds."
She paused briefly and said further. "I think I know how Mo Tian comes here now."
"You mean he's here?" Yun Lintian asked.
"Very likely. I can feel a trace of the ancient devil here." Hongyue replied.
Yun Lintian's face gradually turned solemn upon hearing this. He glanced at the corpse again and said. "His strength is not low, and it should be no problem for him to leave this place. Why would he stay here?"
"Moreover, the way he started to attack me. It was like he had no consciousness."
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian regretted it a bit. He should have crippled this man instead of killing him. Perhaps he could find a clue.
