There were no pupils, no sclera. All of the figures that opened their eyes had … emptiness in their eyes!!
No eyes! Only two empty holes!
It was almost as if their eyes only had eyelids, and therefore, when they were closed, they couldn't see the truth. Now that they opened their eyes, the hundreds of eyeless figures caused Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng's hearts to tremble.
Although they didn't have eyes, the fact that they were staring directly at Wang Baole and the others gave them a very strange feeling. At the same time, it was almost as if they were being stared at by these eyeless people.
It was a contradiction, and yet, that was exactly what Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng were feeling.
"What a bunch of trickery!!" Said Wang Baole, his aura sinking. He was starting to get angry. Although these figures gave him an intense sense of danger, as an Underworld Child who had mastered the Underworld Magic and formed his Underworld Core, Wang Baole had seen far too many ghosts in his Underworld Dream. The figures in front of him had neither life force nor death aura, and therefore, could in some ways be considered a type of soul.
Without hesitation, he performed an incantation gesture, causing his Underworld Core to vibrate. An icy aura exploded out from him, sweeping out in all directions. At the same time, an enormous ball of Underworld Flame sprang up from Wang Baole's body, spreading out in all directions. At the same time, he reached out with his left hand toward one of the figures up ahead.
It was none other than the Soul Guide Hand!
In Zhao Yameng's eyes, she could clearly see that on Wang Baole's body, other than the sudden appearance of the strange, icy fire, there was also a large, pitch-black hand reaching out from the fire and grabbing at the cross-legged figure in front of it.
The hand moved with incredible speed, and yet … it grabbed nothing but air. It was as if the figure existed, but was actually illusory. The hand passed right through it, not grabbing anything!
"Not a soul?" Wang Baole's mind reeled, but there was no time to think. With Zhuo Yifan on his back, he charged forward. Zhao Yameng didn't hesitate to follow at top speed.
They instinctively avoided the figures that were staring at the three of them. However, they soon discovered, to their shock, that as they rushed out, more and more meditating figures appeared on the ground of this world!
From a distance, they could tell that there were thousands of them. With so many of them surrounding them, it was inevitable that they would come into contact with one another. However … every time Wang Baole and the others touched one of the figures, they would pass right through them. It was exactly the same as when they had been grabbed by the Soul Guide Hand!
If that were all there was to it, it wouldn't be a big deal. However … the heads of the meditating figures moved along with Wang Baole. The black holes in their eyes seemed to contain gazes that followed Wang Baole and the others!
It was a feeling that would cause anyone to tremble. As more and more figures appeared, Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng decided to stop running on the black ground. Instead, they leaped into the air and shot forward. In a single breath, they covered dozens of kilometers. However, the figures on the ground seemed to stretch on endlessly. All of them looked up at Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng with expressionless faces!
As the number of figures increased, the sense of danger and terror grew more intense. Wang Baole and Zhao Yameng exchanged glances. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. Despite that, they didn't slow down. Instead, they sped up.
That was especially true of Wang Baole. In the end, he grabbed Zhao Yameng and shot off into the distance at top speed. However, the area was too large. Even though Wang Baole was moving at top speed, he still couldn't see the end of it. In contrast, the figures on the ground were so numerous that it was impossible to count them all. When they looked up at Wang Baole, their expressionless faces began to change. Unexpectedly … they began to smile!
Countless meditating figures without eyes were staring at them with empty eyes. Smiles could be seen on their faces. It was a bizarre sight that was difficult to put into words. If that were all there were to it, Wang Baole's scalp would have gone numb, but his heart would have remained resolute. However, something even stranger happened.
What was even stranger was Zhao Yameng, who was being pulled along by him!
"What's your name?" Zhao Yameng, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke in the midst of their journey. Her voice was filled with doubt. Wang Baole was stunned as he turned around abruptly. His eyes widened as he looked over.
Zhao Yameng's eyes were bleeding. At the same time, a smile could be seen on her face that was exactly the same as the figures on the ground. However, that wasn't what shocked Wang Baole the most. What caused him to tremble was that behind Zhao Yameng was an old woman with a wrinkled face. She was lying there, speaking into Zhao Yameng's ear.
The old woman seemed to sense Wang Baole's gaze. She looked up and smiled at Wang Baole.
Zhao Yameng didn't seem to notice any of this. Wang Baole anxiously prepared to attack. However, it was in that moment that a liquid began to drip down from his neck. It was blood. It was from Zhuo Yifan, who was still lying on his back. Suddenly, the unconscious Zhuo Yifan began to murmur ….
"What's your name?"
Wang Baole shivered. He immediately put Zhuo Yifan down. When he looked over, a tremor ran through him, and he instinctively took a few steps backward. He stared blankly at the figure lying on the ground behind Zhuo Yifan. It was a middle-aged woman. Just like the old woman on Zhao Yameng's back, she was speaking into Zhuo Yifan's ear.
"Zhao Yameng, Zhuo Yifan, wake up!!" Wang Baole immediately grew anxious. He rushed forward and reached out to grab the figures on their backs. However, he grabbed nothing but air. There was nothing he could do to stop them. He could only watch as more blood flowed out of their eyes. At the same time, the smile on Zhao Yameng's face grew more and more bizarre.
"Dammit! What the hell is this place?!" Wang Baole was about to go crazy. His heart was filled with anxiety. He grabbed Zhuo Yifan and shook him violently. However, Zhuo Yifan was like a puppet. He didn't move at all. Only the smile on his face grew even more bizarre. By the looks of it, he was about to become the exact same as the increasing number of figures that were appearing around them.
A rare feeling of sadness rose in Wang Baole's heart. He looked at Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan in despair. Endless regret rose in his heart. He laughed bitterly and took a few steps back. A ruthless look slowly appeared in his eyes. The Dark Core in his body exploded with power. Immediately, a large amount of Dark Fire spread out madly from his body. He was about to make a final effort, when suddenly …
It was as if an even darker curtain had appeared in the originally dark sky. In contrast, the original darkness of the sky didn't seem very obvious. The curtain that had appeared seemed to be the only darkness in the world!
With the naked eye, one could see that the black curtain was like a curtain covering the horizon. It covered one of the three cracks in the sky in an instant. Then, it covered the second crack. Just as the third crack was about to be covered, Wang Baole suddenly heard a murmur in his ear.
"My name is …"
The voice seemed to contain some strange power. When it reached Wang Baole's ears, his body trembled. He lost control of his consciousness and became dizzy. It was as if his mind was enveloped by a strange power at that moment. He instinctively spoke in a low voice.
"What is your name?"
As Wang Baole murmured, he didn't notice that the Underworld Fire that he had spread out earlier was slowly dying out. He stood on the dark ground. Besides Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan, there were countless other figures. Their expressions changed once again. Their eyes were like black holes, but they still gave off a sense of greed. They circled around Wang Baole and the other two, but didn't dare to get close to them. Within their greed, there seemed to be reverence as they stared at the backs of the three …
That was especially true when … they stared at the figure that had appeared behind Wang Baole. It had no face, no limbs. More accurately speaking, it was a ferocious crimson armor!
"My name is Emperor Armor!" Under the gazes of the crowd, as Wang Baole spoke, he heard a deep voice with a hint of arrogance in it!
The instant the voice spoke, the black curtain in the sky finally covered the third crack in the fiery light. As it swept past, it filled the entire sky, causing the world to truly be … pitch-black!
