Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever, but the wariness in his heart had already reached its peak. In fact, if it was not because he had already come this far and suddenly giving up would make him feel incredibly unwilling, he would have wanted to immediately leave.
After all, the feeling of having someone watching him from behind while no one else noticed him in this mysterious sealed region was something that could not help but make a person's skin crawl.
At that moment, when Tian Lin and the others stepped into the tunnel and charged forward, the endless white threads that originally could only be seen through the light projections from the True Guards in Crimson Flame Planet had already … shattered to pieces.
Nearly one-fifth of the area had been completely shattered, and the remaining areas were also showing signs of shattering. In truth, this phenomenon did not only happen when Su Ming and the others stepped into the place, but at the instant all the ferocious beasts in Crimson Flame Planet broke free from the seal and the seal shattered.
Even if Su Ming and the others did not enter this place, the white threads would still slowly become weaker.
In the deepest part of the seal was an area not too far away from Su Ming and the others. There was an endless amount of purplish black magma there, and at that moment, the skeleton was submerged in it. At that moment, the black sword that had pierced through its skull was trembling furiously.
It was as if the sword was about to be forced out. Dark light shone in the skeleton's eyes, and even the other two swords that had pierced through the other parts of its body were slowly loosening up.
At the same time the dark light shone in the skeleton's eyes, signs of flesh and blood recovering appeared on its face. Wisps of flesh and blood covered its bones, causing the skeleton to look as if it was about to be resurrected!
"I can sense … the presence of an Abyss Builder …"
Yet at the instant some of the flesh and blood on its face recovered, an endless amount of white threads suddenly appeared in the region where the skeleton was. These threads intersected with each other to form a net. One-fifth of the net had disappeared, and the remaining parts were slowly disintegrating. However, it could still generally maintain its frame. Clearly, this net formed by an endless amount of white threads was the seal used to suppress the alien race's Duke of Crimson Flame.
The white net silently gathered from all directions with the skeleton at the center. It actually passed through the skeleton's body. The skeleton shuddered, and the flesh and blood that grew on its face instantly turned into minced meat and separated from its bones.
Over and over again, the white net crisscrossed nine times in a row. When there was no longer any flesh on the skeleton's body, the net slowly disappeared.
However, the skeleton seemed to be used to this. The sword in its skull was still trembling and slowly loosening. The ghostly light in the skeleton's eyes gradually became stronger.
At the same time, Su Ming and his group were moving forward at an extreme speed beyond one of the caves that were densely packed together like a beehive. However, before long, Tian Lin and the others were forced to stop in front of them.
In front of them was a screen of light that emitted a white light. This screen of light blocked their way.
Sun Kun stared at the screen of light for some time before he said in a low voice, "The second layer of the seal is much stronger than the previous one. I need time."
Su Ming stood not too far away. The bald crane was by his feet and yawned lazily. It looked at Sun Kun with disdain, thinking that if it were its Grandpa Crane, then it would be able to break the seal in an instant. However, since Su Ming did not have any intention of asking it to do anything, the bald crane was happy to stay idle.
However, as it lay there and looked around, a dazed look appeared on its face once again.
'Damn it, why do I have a feeling that I've been to this place before … No, it's a similar place … 'The bald crane shook its head violently, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not remember much.
Su Ming stood there quietly. He was incredibly vigilant. The closer he got to the depths of the seal, the stronger this feeling became. At that moment, his gaze fell on the area around him. He had already circulated all of his cultivation base, and the poisonous wasp in his sleeve also had Su Ming's Atman gathered on it.
Before long, Sun Kun wiped off the sweat that had beaded on his forehead. He formed a seal with his hands and pointed at the screen of light. When he lifted his right hand, a Feng Shui compass appeared on his palm. The needle of the Feng Shui compass was spinning rapidly, but it would stop once every ten breaths. Each time it stopped, Sun Kun would quickly lift his left hand and point at the screen of light. The screen of light was like water. Once Sun Kun's finger landed on it, layers of ripples would appear around the spot where his finger landed.
When Sun Kun's finger landed for the ninth time, more ripples appeared on the screen of light. As they intersected with each other, it was as if waves were stirring up on the screen of light.
"Use your full strength and strike these nine spots at the same time!" Sun Kun immediately said, but before Ye Shen Tong could attack, a glint appeared in Tian Lin's eyes. He lifted his right hand, and nine tree trunks that were growing rapidly appeared on his right palm. Those nine tree trunks touched the nine spots on the screen of light at the same time. With a muffled bang, the screen of light immediately shattered. Tian Lin's face turned pale for a moment. When he took a few steps back, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the tunnel where the screen of light had shattered.
At the same time, Sun Kun, Ye Shen Tong, and the hunchbacked old man Long Li's expressions also changed. Su Ming's pupils shrank as well. As the screen of light shattered, an incredibly pure presence of World Plane Realm spread out from within.
"The presence of World Plane Realm … As expected, it's the power of World Planes. It's so thick. If I can train here for a few years, I'm confident that I can reach a breakthrough and step into the middle stage of World Plane Realm!" Long Li's expression changed. When he took a step forward, the others quickly followed suit.
Su Ming was still the last, but when he stepped into the shattered screen of light, even his breathing quickened slightly. With just one glance, he saw that the stone walls of the tunnel were formed by a dark blue stone wall. The physical power spreading out from it far surpassed the power he had obtained from the surface.
In fact, there was no way he could compare them. It was like comparing the light of a firefly to the bright moon.
"The power of World Planes in this place is just at the periphery. The deeper we go, the thicker it will be. The seals on the six screens of light are usually not something we can break. Right now, due to the collapse of the seals on the outside, this place is already collapsing, and the power of World Planes has been greatly weakened, which is why we have a chance.
"That's why … if you stay here and don't move forward, all of you will regret it," Tian Lin said flatly. Tian Lin said faintly. As his voice reverberated in the air, he took the lead and walked into the depths of the tunnel. With his back facing the crowd, no one could see the strange light flashing in his eyes. Aside from excitement, there was also a kind of anticipation and madness in that light.
Long Li sucked in a deep breath of the presence that contained the power of World Planes in this place. A resolute look appeared on his face, and he charged into the depths of the tunnel. As for Sun Kun and Ye Shen Tong, they cast each other a glance before they also chased after him.
Su Ming remained silent all along the way. At that moment, he lifted his right hand and pressed it against the stone wall. His right arm cycled through the cycle of withering and becoming full several times before he lifted his hand. However, during that short period of time, the increase in his physical power was already comparable to the amount he would gain after absorbing the blue stones in the world outside for several months.
'Riches come from danger … It's worth it! ' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He took a step forward, but his wariness did not decrease. Instead, it became even stronger.
Almost at the instant the crowd charged through the tunnel, Su Ming, who was the last in the line, suddenly felt all his hair stand on end. A strong sense of danger filled his heart, and he heard piercing whistling sounds coming rapidly from behind him.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming grabbed the bald crane and turned into a long arc. He no longer held anything back, and with a whoosh, he caught up to the four people in front of him.
"There's a change behind us!" Su Ming immediately said. He did not stop moving, and his speed became even faster. At that moment, the others also sensed it, and their expressions changed drastically. Right before their eyes, as the piercing whistling sounds continued, an innumerable amount of … red threads appeared densely packed together behind them!
"How could there be so many of them?!" Ye Shen Tong's skin crawled. With a roar, he charged forward madly. The other people's expressions also changed, and in shock, they executed their full strength.
However, this was a tunnel. There was no path to the left or right, only the front or the back. At that moment, there were simply too many red threads behind them. If anyone caught up to them, they would definitely die.
There was only one path forward!
In this moment of danger, the five people no longer held back their speed, and their standards could immediately be seen. The fastest was not Tian Lin, but Long Li. Only an afterimage could be seen of him. The second was Tian Lin. As his Nascent Divinity reversed, he was no longer limited by his physical body, and as he charged forward, he was only slightly slower than Long Li.
The third was not Ye Shen Tong, neither was it Sun Kun, but Su Ming!
Su Ming's forte had always been speed. At that moment, when he erupted with his full strength, even Ye Shen Tong and Sun Kun found it difficult to surpass him. However, this was because they were in a tunnel, and he could only burst forth with his full strength for a short period of time. If he flew for a long period of time in the world outside, then Su Ming's speed would gradually decrease, and he would not be able to maintain his speed for a long period of time, just like how a true World Paragon would.
As the group erupted with their full strength, they instantly widened the distance between them and the large number of red threads behind them. The piercing whistles by their ears became much fainter, but the sense of danger still remained.
After a moment, Long Li suddenly let out a muffled groan, and his body tumbled backwards in an instant. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Tian Lin's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. His expression turned incredibly sour.
At that moment, another screen of light appeared before the crowd. Ripples were flashing on it at that moment. Clearly, Long Li had used his great power to break through it, but he had been bounced back by the rebound. From this alone, it could be seen that the power of the third screen of light was several times stronger than the previous one.
Sun Kun's face was pale. Once he cast a glance at the screen of light, he immediately screamed shrilly, "I need an hour."
"You don't need to activate the screen of light after an hour, because we'll already be dead. My fellow Daoists, let's attack at the same time with our full strength. Don't hold anything back, this is a matter of life and death! "Tian Lin's expression was stern. He swept his gaze past Su Ming's body and spoke sternly. (To be continued.
