One year in the Dark Dream, one day in reality!
To the three extraterrestrial cultivators trapped in the third layer of the underground world formed by the Dark Artifact, only one day had passed since they lost track of Wang Baole.
Although they were furious and their desire to kill Wang Baole was strong, they were not anxious. With their experience and knowledge, they could see that the underground world formed by the Dark Artifact should be in a sealed state. Therefore, when they could not find an exit, they simply began to think about searching deeper.
Either they found Wang Baole, or they found an exit. In their opinion, as long as they spent some time, they would definitely be able to achieve one of these two conditions. In fact, there was a high possibility that they could achieve both.
In reality, this was indeed the case. The three of them had a lot of resources, and their methods were not ordinary. In particular, they had mastered a set of secret skills that Laozu had given them, which were specifically used to break seals. This secret skill required the three of them to cast at the same time to form. It was specifically used to break seals and formations, and its power was astonishing.
Therefore, if they were given some time, they might really be able to rush out of the Dark Artifact or find Wang Baole.
However … they would never have dreamed that in just one day, the situation would be reversed!
For example, at this moment, the three of them had found a weak point in the second layer of the underground world. After they gathered, they used all their strength to break the seal, causing the earth and the sky to tremble. A vortex appeared in the sky. At first, the vortex spun slowly, but as they cast their spells, it spun faster.
As the vortex spun faster, a passage gradually appeared in the center of the vortex. However, it was not stable yet, but by the looks of it, it would not be long before the passage stabilized and connected the first and second layers.
Once they stepped into the Dark Artifact, they would be able to do the same on the first level and open up a path to leave the Dark Artifact. Their plan was, after ensuring that they could leave safely, to find a way to open up the paths to the remaining levels and find Wang Baole!
"Once we reach the first level and open the passageway, we'll immediately seal it and then go look for that damned fatty! That person might not be called Zhuo Yixian. Unless he is an idiot, why would he shout out his name and tell us …? "
"It doesn't matter if it is or not, it is a Corpse Burial Rat! He's even better at burrowing than a corpse burying rat!! "
The three of them all looked rather awful. In fact, whether it was on their own home planet or the other civilizations that they had plundered, they had never met a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator who had so many tricks, was so difficult to deal with, and was so decisive and brutal at the same time.
When they recalled that Wang Baole's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, their expressions became even more gloomy. They admitted that they had underestimated Wang Baole from the start. Because they wanted to capture him alive, they didn't use their trump cards and gave him a chance.
And this opportunity also caused the situation to become passive.
"Let's blast it open first, but we don't have to search for too long. We have to return to the home planet as soon as possible. On the one hand, we have to inform Laozu about what happened here. On the other hand, we can't delay Laozu's birthday celebration. Moreover, the stone box that we found in the ruins of the Cloud Star Civilization as a birthday gift will definitely satisfy Laozu. Together with the information about this galaxy, we can definitely exchange it for three Divine Ascension Pills!"
When the other two heard this, their eyes lit up with eagerness. They were about to continue using the secret technique with their leader to completely stabilize the vortex passage.
But at this moment … something strange happened!!
Loud rumbling sounds suddenly came from the soil and the sky. The tombstones on the ground also trembled violently. Ripples visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in the sky and earth of the second layer. It was as if the entire second layer had turned into a water surface and a huge rock had been thrown into it, causing ripples.
This sudden change caused the expressions of the three people to change. But before they could react, the sky and earth suddenly turned upside down. The entire world seemed to have been flipped over. The sky became the earth, and the graveyard became the sky!
Not only that, when the boundless ripples swept over, two ghastly ghost heads instantly appeared around the three of them. They had green faces, fangs, and were incomparably ferocious. There were horns on their heads, and runes that flickered between light and dark appeared on their faces. At the same time that they looked strange, they also looked extremely ferocious.
As soon as the two ghost heads appeared, they suddenly opened their mouths and swallowed two of the Cultivators!
It was unbelievably fast, and there was no way to resist or block it. The eyes of the Cultivator leader with the centipede on his face and the horse-faced Cultivator next to him constricted. They wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Their bodies were swallowed by the two huge, green-faced ghost mouths, and then they disappeared without a trace!
After they disappeared, the reversed world returned to normal. The ripples also dissipated, and all changes and sounds disappeared. It became extremely quiet. However, in the entire world, there were originally three extraterrestrial cultivators, but now, only the square-faced cultivator remained. His expression changed rapidly, and his mind trembled. Obviously, he was greatly shocked by the scene just now. In his shock, his cultivation base completely erupted, and his spiritual sense spread out. He retreated in panic, his heart palpitating, and his vigilance to the extreme.
As he retreated, he didn't hesitate to quickly form an incantation gesture. Immediately, nine purple scales appeared on his forehead, his limbs, and his temples. They exuded an astonishing aura.
This was his trump card. Because every time he used it, it consumed his life force, so unless it was a matter of life and death, he wouldn't use it. At that moment, he was frightened, so he instinctively used it.
Amidst the intense fear and vigilance, the square-faced Cultivator increased his speed. After flying for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, he saw that everything around him was normal, and there was no danger.
"Could it be that we triggered some kind of restriction on this Dark Artifact just now?" Suspicion rose in the square-faced Cultivator's heart. The sudden appearance of the ghost heads and the changes in the world had given him a great sense of terror. His companion had been swallowed up in an instant, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, which made him feel uneasy. Now that everything was normal, he hesitated for a moment before he reluctantly let out a sigh of relief.
However, even as he breathed a sigh of relief, a black fog suddenly appeared on the ground around the tombstone. At first, it was thin, but in the space of a few breaths, it covered the sky and spread out, causing the entire world to be filled with fog. If one looked down, they would see that the fog had covered the entire land, turning it into a sea of fog!
This scene caused the square-faced Cultivator's face to flicker. He was about to retreat when suddenly, a tremor ran through his body, and his eyes went wide. He saw that there was an area in the sky that seemed to be soaked in blood. In the blink of an eye, it formed into a blood moon that seemed to be imprinted in the sky!
This blood moon gave off an incredibly strange feeling. Once the fog and the blood moon appeared, murmurs came from all directions and drifted in and out of the world.
However, no matter how hard the square-faced Cultivator tried to listen, he couldn't hear anything clearly. The terror in his heart rose up uncontrollably, and his face went pale. His Cultivation base exploded with power, and the nine scales on his body began to shine with a brilliant light. This trump card gave him confidence, and he let out a roar. "You're right.
"Who is it?! What a bunch of tricksters!! "
The instant the square-faced Cultivator roared, his pupils suddenly constricted. He could see that in the fog up ahead, a blurry, solitary boat had appeared. Inside the boat was a figure wearing a black robe, sitting cross-legged. In front of him was a lantern oar. Because of the thick fog, it was impossible to see the figure's appearance clearly. However, a sinister and bizarre feeling rose up in the square-faced Cultivator's heart.
It was as if … an instinctive reverence came from the depths of his soul. It was as if a message had been passed down from generation to generation in his bloodline, and it contained the shock and fear his ancestors had felt toward this figure in ancient times!
It was as if he were a mortal who had just seen the Death God from the Yellow Springs!
However, the square-faced Cultivator was a Yuanying, and had killed many people. Despite his terror, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that he was in grave danger. Therefore, he let out a roar and charged toward the boat. As he performed an incantation gesture, the nine scales on his body shone with an intense light. They transformed into nine beams of light that represented destruction, which shot toward the boat!
In an instant, the nine beams of light slammed into the boat. However, it was as if the boat didn't exist. It didn't change in the slightest. The nine beams of light, which represented destruction and contained shocking power, passed through the boat and slammed into the fog off in the distance.
This caused the square-faced Cultivator's heart to tremble violently. Face pale, he retreated at top speed.
In the instant that he fled, Wang Baole opened his eyes and softly said two words.
"Corpse Face!"
