Jianchen exhaled deeply as he looked at the familiar landscape around him. As soon as he thought about how he had fallen into the Saint Ruler's Slaughter Domain, he became filled with lingering fear.
The Saint Ruler's Slaughter Domain could kill all Saint Rulers. Even Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Rulers would not be able to escape death. Although the formation had become much weaker with the passage of time, it was still extremely powerful. Jianchen was unable to get through it with his attacks as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. If it were not for the fact that he was with the Heavenly Enchantress, Jianchen really had no idea how he would have been able to escape if he had fallen into the formation alone. Even if he did not die, he would have been heavily injured.
"The Sea of Stars really is terrifying. Originally, I thought that the Saint Rulers who had died here and turned into walking corpses were already very terrifying, but they're nothing compared to the formation," Jianchen thought inside. He felt extremely fearful of the formation's power. If he had come across Saint Rulers who were like walking corpses, he would have been able to flee even if he could not defeat them. After all, the walking corpses did not have any intelligence, so they were very easy to deal with. However, if he had fallen into the formation, the formation would have created a space of its own, forming a unique domain. He would not be able to escape at all. The only way was to break through the formation, and if he was not strong enough, he could only endure the destructive attacks of the formation.
Perhaps because the formation had been destroyed, the ground around Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress became covered in palm-wide cracks. The cracks formed a circle, forming an extremely complicated diagram.
"The formation here was cast down by the experts of the Dragon clan in the past. It's very well hidden, making it impossible to guard against. We need to be careful. Fortunately, the Saint Ruler's Slaughter Formation we've fallen into is not as powerful as before, or it definitely wouldn't have been so easy to get through," the Heavenly Enchantress nonchalantly said.
Jianchen nodded sternly. He feared the formation even more than the Heavenly Enchantress.
At this moment, several powerful presences quickly flew over from afar. The Saint Rulers who had turned into walking corpses had been drawn over by the disturbance, so they all hurried over from the surroundings.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress immediately concealed their presences before silently moving forward. The Saint Rulers acted based on their instincts. They had no vision, so they could not see anything. They relied on unfamiliar presences and disturbances to find living things.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress moved far away from where they had been standing before. The zombies that had hurried over from the surroundings all stared at the two of them blankly. They paced back and forth unconsciously, refusing to disperse for a very long time.
The two of them advanced cautiously. The Heavenly Enchantress discovered many traces of formations as well as a few human experts and high class magical beasts that had become walking corpses. She avoided them from afar, so the two of them remained unscathed for the rest of their journey.
In this Sea of Illusory Stars, the two of them didn't dare to fly too fast. After half a day, the two of them had only traveled a little more than a thousand kilometers. They were still in the outer region of the Sea of Illusory Stars and had not even reached the central region.
The hazy sky gradually darkened. The darkness of the night gradually enveloped the entire Sea of Illusory Stars. Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress were actually unable to see through the darkness in the strange Sea of Illusory Stars, causing their vision to rapidly shrink.
The Heavenly Enchantress held her zither with both hands. She raised her head to look at the darkened sky and her enchanting eyes became rather stern. She said, "It's dark. It's not suitable for us to travel at night. We need to find a place to rest for the night and continue when the sun rises."
"I basically know nothing about the situation here, so I'll leave everything to senior," Jianchen calmly replied.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress spent an hour to find a relatively spacious cave. The cave was a hundred meters long with many twists and turns. As a result, there was no need to worry about the light leaking out.
At the end of the cave, the Heavenly Enchantress took out a fist-sized luminous pearl from her Space World and embedded it in the ceiling. It shone with a gentle light, illuminating the pitch-black cave. In the Sea of Fantasy Stars, those walking corpses were very sensitive to any energy fluctuation and things that had never appeared in the Sea of Fantasy Stars before. Therefore, they couldn't make a fire here because the heat wave and smoke from the bonfire would spread out of the cave and attract those walking corpses. The only way to illuminate the cave was to use the Luminous Pearls.
After embedding the luminous pearl, the Heavenly Enchantress sat on the ground and slowly closed her eyes. She ignored Jianchen to one side.
Jianchen also found a clean spot and sat down. He glanced at the Heavenly Enchantress, who always wore a veil over her face. He could not help but think of the first time he had met the Heavenly Enchantress. He immediately became melancholy.
He could still remember the first time he had met the Heavenly Enchantress. It was a few years ago in the sacred land of Mercenary City. Back then, he was only an insignificant Earth Saint Master. Let alone Saint Rulers, even a few Heaven Saint Masters did not treat him with any importance.
Now that a few years had passed, he had grown from a puny Earth Saint Master to his current level. He stood on equal footing with Saint Rulers and even fought alongside the Heavenly Enchantress. This was something that Jianchen would never have dared to imagine in the past. Even when he thought about it now, he still felt like he was living in a dream.
Jianchen exhaled deeply and slowly calmed himself down. He shifted his gaze away from the Heavenly Enchantress and cast aside all the random thoughts in his head. He began to observe the situation in his body.
The bean-sized chaotic neidan in Jianchen's dantian had clearly shrunk after being drained by the Saint Ruler's Slaughter formation. The Chaotic Force within it had become even more sparse. If such an intense battle occurred a few more times, the chaotic neidan would definitely disperse due to the depletion of Chaotic Force.
Jianchen immediately frowned when he sensed the situation of his chaotic neidan. Chaotic Force was the source of his power. If he lost it, he would only be a First Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. At the same time, the abilities of Saint Rulers were suppressed in the Sea of Stars, so his strength would be greatly reduced. He would not be able to survive in the dangerous Sea of Stars.
"I need to replenish my Chaotic Force as soon as possible. I still have quite a few monster cores, so I wonder how much Chaotic Force I'll have if I add them all together." Jianchen thought, "But if I refine Chaotic Force in the Sea of Stars, the energy that leaks out will definitely be sensed by the Saint Rulers who died here. I'll only be able to stay in the cave for a night, so I'll have to continue moving once the sun rises. Time is very tight, so I won't be able to make it in time. And the Heavenly Enchantress is beside me. If I ignore everything else and choose to refine Chaotic Force here, I definitely won't be able to keep the secret of the sword spirits. Looks like now's not the time to replenish my Chaotic Force. "
Jianchen became rather irritated as he thought about it. He stood up and made his way out of the cave, planning to get some fresh air.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a bell-like voice rang out from behind him. Jianchen came to a halt when he heard the voice. Looking back, he saw that the Heavenly Enchantress had already opened her eyes. Her limpid eyes seemed to ripple as she stared at him with an enchanting charm.
Jianchen remained calm. He looked at the Heavenly Enchantress and said, "I'll go check on the situation outside."
The Heavenly Enchantress slowly closed her eyes and gently said, "Remember, this is the Sea of Stars, not the outside world. Don't mess around here, or not only will you lose your life, but I'll also be dragged down by you."
"Don't worry, senior. I know what to do. I won't joke around with my life," Jianchen gently smiled before concealing his presence. He made his way outside silently.
It was pitch-black outside the cave. The sky was pitch-black, and not a single star could be seen. Jianchen's vision was affected in the darkness of the Sea of Stars. Although it was not as dark as in the dense fog, he could only see a distance of several hundred meters.
The surroundings were deathly silent. There was no sound at all, as if there were no other signs of life in the Sea of Stars aside from him and the Heavenly Enchantress.
Jianchen sat down on a piece of jade to the side. He did not cause any disturbances at all. He sank into his thoughts as he thought about a few things.
Suddenly, Jianchen's ears twitched slightly. A gleam of light immediately flickered through his indifferent eyes. He suddenly raised his head and stared straight ahead. He became stern at that moment as well.
A while later, a few pitch-black figures gradually appeared in Jianchen's field of vision. They stood on the ground and made their way toward Jianchen at the speed of ordinary people. Their movements were stiff, as if they were machines.
Jianchen's face drastically changed. He became extremely stern. He carefully concealed his presence and silently descended from the rock. He stared at the figures several hundred meters away and slowly backed away, directly retreating into the cave.
"Oh no, they're actually coming for this cave." Jianchen was shocked. Without any hesitation, he quickly made his way to the end of the cave. He needed to tell the Heavenly Enchantress about this.
Perhaps because she sensed Jianchen's hurried footsteps, the Heavenly Enchantress opened her eyes as soon as he arrived at the end of the cave. She stared at Jianchen in interest. The Heavenly Enchantress maintained her vigilance at all times in the Sea of Stars that was filled with danger.
"Senior, it's bad. A few Saint Rulers are hurrying over to this cave," Jianchen immediately said through a communication technique.
The Heavenly Enchantress' face suddenly changed when she heard that. She abruptly stood up and frowned. Her face became extremely stern.
She could deal with a few Saint Rulers who had been reduced to walking corpses, but once the two sides began fighting, it would definitely cause a great disturbance. As a result, even more experts would be alarmed and rush over. At the same time, it was nighttime. The visibility in the Sea of Stars was far too low and the danger was unknown. Fleeing at this time would be even more dangerous than during the day.
"How far are they from the cave?" The Heavenly Enchantress asked through a communication technique. She was stern.
"Around five hundred meters," Jianchen replied as well. Neither of them dared to speak.
