The originally undulating fog, from which the faint roars of ferocious beasts could be heard, suddenly stopped, as if because Wang Baole had taken the pearl away.
Then, an even more intense roar erupted, as if countless muffled thunders had exploded. The fog rapidly retreated, as if it was being dispelled. It was as if some kind of seal had been undone, revealing the void beyond the oval-shaped land!!
As far as the eye could see, this large space was no longer covered by the fog, revealing its full appearance!
"This is …" Wang Baole, who was being pulled by the magnetic light, suddenly trembled. His body trembled, and huge waves of emotions surged in his mind!
He saw … that above the oval-shaped land, at the top of the endless space, there was a huge head. The head's facial features couldn't be seen, only a pitch-black mask!
The oval-shaped land seemed to be floating in midair, because below it … was a dark void, and in that void, there was a majestic body!
The body was connected to the head in the sky. It was a huge statue, and the oval-shaped land Wang Baole was standing on was clearly the statue's raised palm!
Wang Baole was no stranger to the statue's masked face. It was the same beautiful woman he had seen in the illusory scene in the Five Fingers Mountain!
This scene made Wang Baole's heart tremble. He couldn't help but see the complete scene in front of him. The statue of a beautiful woman raised her right hand, and in her palm was an altar. At that moment, she was staring at the long blue spear floating above the altar!
Wang Baole's heart was beating wildly. Fortunately, before he took out the mask, he had mentally prepared himself, and this wasn't the first time he saw the statue. But at that moment … Wang Baole's pupils suddenly shrank. As his body was being pulled back by the magnetic light, he suddenly saw a crying face appear in the void behind the statue!
The face was more than ten feet wide, and blood was flowing out of its seven orifices. Its eyes shone with a purple light, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. However, the cold aura and the terrifying feeling it exuded were incredibly strong. Wang Baole instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"What is that?!" Wang Baole cried out in shock. In the blink of an eye, dozens of similar faces appeared in the void behind the statue. They looked similar, but their expressions were different. Some were merciful, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were angry.
However, without exception, all of them were bleeding from their seven orifices. Purple light shone from their eyes, making them look extremely strange and terrifying. In fact, one could even faintly see that there seemed to be even more faces like these charging out from behind them. In an instant, the originally pitch-black void was completely occupied by countless faces like these.
The faces densely packed together, they opened opened mouths and roared. They were about to pass the statue's head. Wang Baole's head, and his mind, he wished that the magnetic light could take him away. His mind, he, he, and wished that the magnetic light could take him..
Suddenly, a woman's voice, and, and, of the voice of a woman,.... the eye ''s's's's's,'s's's's's,,'s's's's's!' '''s's' ''s....
"Suppress!"
The instant the voice spread out, the statue shone with a golden light. Then, bolts of golden lightning flew out from within it. The bolts of lightning instantly formed a huge net that enveloped the strange faces that were trying to pass the statue.
In the blink of an eye, they collided with each other. The faces immediately let out shrill screams. They seemed to want to struggle, but their efforts were in vain. They couldn't pass through the lightning net, and were pushed back by the net. Finally … they merged back into the void.
That scene made Wang Baole's heart tremble. Right now, his body was being pulled towards the exit. His gaze landed on the statue, which had returned to its original state, and he found it hard to calm down. The purple glow on the faces made him think of the strange attack that he had suffered previously. Thinking back, the feeling that the faces gave him was indeed the same as that of the purple glow!
"Could it be them …?" Wang Baole couldn't help but feel shocked. Soon, he remembered the images he had seen in the Five Fingers Mountain. There were also faces in the sky.
Their appearance … seemed to be similar to the faces he had just seen!
"What's going on …? Why did the faces immediately appear after I took the blue pearl …? Could it be that the pearl is suppressing them?" When Wang Baole thought about it, he immediately felt that the five corpses around the blue spear really did seem to be protecting the pearl.
"If … if that's the case, won't something big happen if I take the blue pearl?" Wang Baole instantly grew nervous. He wanted to look at the statue again, but his body had already been pulled into the exit. He was in the tunnel, and he was hurtling toward the outside.
From a distance, Wang Baole looked like a small mountain …. He hugged a large barrel, and there were puppets hanging from the sides of the barrel. Each of the puppets was wrapped in bags of various sizes. There were also four corpses on top of the barrel.
Wang Baole was in a dilemma. Suddenly, he looked at the four corpses he had thrown on top of the barrel. With one look, his pupils suddenly shrank. Previously, Wang Baole was too far away to pay attention to the corpses. His attention was attracted by the blue spear, so he didn't take a closer look.
Now that he looked at them up close, there were totem-like imprints on the bodies of the four corpses. In particular, there was a purple imprint in the middle of their eyebrows!
This imprint … was a shrunken version of a face with different expressions!
It was exactly the same as the faces that had been suppressed by the statue!
This scene immediately shocked Wang Baole, and he overturned his previous judgment.
"They aren't protecting the blue pearl, but suppressing it?"
Wang Baole was a little confused, but he felt that something was wrong. Finally, his eyes flashed, and a bold guess appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that I'm wrong? Is there a possibility that … whether it's these corpses or the blue spear, they are actually the objects that the faces used to suppress the statue? "So, after I took them away, the fog dispersed, and the statue appeared. That's why the faces went crazy and wanted to take them back. That's why the statue revived to a certain extent and suppressed them?!"
Without any clues, Wang Baole couldn't make a clear judgment. However, there was one thing that he was sure of. The corpses that he had brought out were definitely related to the purple light that had tried to devour him!
"I need to figure out why the purple light wanted to devour me. Could it be because of the nine-inch Spirit Root …? That voice said that it had found the ultimate. Could it be that the nine-inch Spirit Root is the ultimate? "But after I woke up, the Spirit Meridians in my body exceeded ninety percent, and reached one hundred percent …" Wang Baole's body was pulled down, and he flew out of the fragment mountain through the tunnel. However, there were too many doubts in his mind. As he looked at the fragment mountain, his gaze became deep.
This series of experiences made him feel the mystery and unpredictability of this place. That was especially so as Wang Baole knew that the place he had been to previously was, in reality, only the periphery of the fragment mountain. It was far from the core area.
After all, with his cultivation level and speed, as well as the factor of time, it was impossible for him to reach the core.
"It's just the periphery, and it's already so mysterious … I wonder what else is hidden in the depths of the fragment mountain …" Wang Baole took a deep breath. As his body was pulled, he looked at the fragment mountain that was getting further and further away from him. A sense of reverence rose in his heart.
Wang Baole was in awe of the fragment mountain. However, as he flew out, there were some students from the four major Dao Colleges entering and exiting the fragment mountain. After they saw Wang Baole's exaggerated gains, their reverence for him became even more intense. It even reached the point of shock.
"Corpses?!!"
"Oh my god, what did I see? Those wearing ancient clothes are corpses … and there's more than one!!"
"This is too exaggerated … Such a huge bucket, and there are so many puppets carrying items hanging from it!!"
An uproar instantly erupted. As it reverberated in all directions, no one noticed that at the periphery of the fragment mountain, a hideous head had silently appeared. It was the terrifying figure that had appeared at the fork in the tunnel previously.
