The lake was still so clear that one could see the bottom. There was no algae or fish. The only difference was that there were no suns, moons, or stars in the lake.
Shang Ying Yue wore white clothes. She looked cold and elegant, but her eyebrows were furrowed with worry.
Cecilia's disappearance had worried her and Shi Yan a lot. They didn't know where Cecilia had gone.
As she was worried about something else, Shang Ying Yue didn't notice that Shi Yan had broken through to Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm.
"How long have you been here?" asked Shi Yan in a low-pitched voice.
"I didn't count it carefully. After Audrey and the others left, I just meditated and cultivated. I don't know how long it has been," said Shang Ying Yue gloomily.
Shi Yan released a wisp of Soul Consciousness and circled around Shang Ying Yue. He suddenly said, "Although your realm hasn't advanced, your God power has become thicker and purer. I think you've been cultivating for a long time."
"I think so..." Shang Ying Yue wasn't sure.
Looking at the Holy Mountain in the distance, Shi Yan frowned and pulled himself together. "We should go. Perhaps we can meet her there."
The Incipient Extent of the Protoss's precursor had created a mysterious domain that had been carved in Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent. However, he didn't find Cecilia. It meant that Cecilia wasn't in that strange world. She must have gotten out of there already.
As long as they got out of that world, Cecilia wouldn't be able to find Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue. She would definitely go to the Holy Mountain.
Shang Ying Yue didn't talk much. She rarely offered her opinion. As Shi Yan had made up his mind, she followed him quietly. They swam across the lake and headed to the Holy Mountain.
It was strangely smooth along the way.
It was unknown why the forbidden lands in the Center of the ancient continent had been weakened. They didn't trouble Shi Yan much. He could cross them easily.
It seemed like Desolate suddenly showed mercy and didn't trouble people anymore. It made Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue puzzled.
The majestic divine mountain towered between heaven and earth, getting closer and closer to them as if they would reach it very soon …
Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue glided through a muddy pond with five-colored toxic mist hovering above their heads like two ghosts in the forest. Their feet didn't touch the ground.
Suddenly, Shi Yan stopped in the middle of Water Swamp.
He looked in the direction of Water Luster and made a grabbing motion with his left hand, as if he was going to grab something in his palm.
Whoosh!
A stream of starlight emerged in front of his fingertip. The clear and cold starlight was like water that carried the power of restraining and restraining Heaven and Earth.
The star stream stretched out and wrapped around a cluster of green miasma in the swamp like a snake. The miasma contained poison.
Chi chi chi!
As the starlight splashed, the poisonous miasma was dispersed, revealing two members of the Protoss Clan.
They were the members of the Phelps family. One of them was at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm while the other was at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm. Their eyes and skin glowed with green light. Apparently, they were poisoned by the toxic miasma.
Their soul energy fluctuated unsteadily and strangely. They had a cold and evil aura as if the toxic miasma had invaded their souls and changed their soul altars somehow. The God power in their bodies wasn't drained. It seemed like it had increased a little bit.
Their green eyes looked at them indifferently. Shang Ying Yue felt chilled as if she was being gazed at by some ancient monster.
"It's... a mutation. Their souls and bodies are eroded. That toxin can make them fall into the bedevilment state where they can't feel anything," whispered Shang Ying Yue.
Shi Yan didn't change his visage. His soul altar spun and his power Upanishad changed.
The Ethereal Extent that looked like a vast galaxy emerged above his head. The suns, moons, and stars twinkled brilliantly. The magical, everlasting power of the starry sky seemed to affect the real world.
Inside the Ethereal Extent, the suns rolled and turned into scorching fireballs as big as mountains. With a scorching heat wave that could destroy the world, they directly covered the two Protoss warriors.
Under the scorching heat that was like a real sun, all the water in this area was instantly evaporated. Grass, trees, and rocks were all burned and melted, turning into water vapor and dissipating. The ground was dry and cracked, revealing lines of ravines. The world was about to be destroyed by the sun.
The two warriors of the Protoss were poisoned. Under the scorching sunlight, the water in their bodies evaporated. Their bodies shriveled like salted fish that had been exposed to the sun for years.
The scorching light that could burn all creatures in this world made their shriveled bodies explode. Their bones were smashed and their flesh turned into sparks. Shortly after, they were smashed into pieces.
They were a Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm and a Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm expert. Shi Yan's Ethereal Extent had burned them down easily. They didn't have any power to resist.
It was like an Incipient God Realm expert was crushing them. It seemed like there was a massive chasm between the two of them. The gap between them was unimaginably big.
The scorching suns above their heads were moving with light and heat. The heat waves rolled and expanded. The toxic miasma in this area was restored. The trees were burned into ashes. Rocks exploded. The ground didn't have a beam of water. It was so dry that it cracked. It looked like the end of the world.
Shang Ying Yue had to take out an Icy Soul Cold Crystal and hold it tightly.
Only the extremely cold power of the Icy Soul Cold Crystal could protect her from being affected, and she could still look at ShiYan in fear.
"How come you're so strong all of a sudden?" Shang Ying Yue was baffled for a while. She couldn't help but shout.
At this moment, Shi Yan was much more intimidating than when he had fought Harson. He hadn't created his Immortal Body yet, but he could easily kill the two warriors of the Protoss warriors. His calmness had shaken Shang Ying Yue a lot.
"I've reached Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm," Shi Yan squinted. The acupuncture points in his entire body were moving.
Wisps of hot Essence Qi of the dead were moving in a way that naked eyes couldn't see. They were being refined by the vortexes in his acupuncture points at an amazing speed.
Shi Yan chuckled all of a sudden.
Reaching Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm, his Space, Star, and Death and Life power Upanishads had all improved. The strange world that the precursor of the Protoss had transformed from the Incipient Extent had imprinted the most exquisite power Upanishads and marks. They had become the reflections of his Ethereal Extent, which had brought him unimaginable changes.
Shi Yan had a feeling that he could control the entire universe.
He was confident that if he fought Harson now, he wouldn't have to pay a bloody price to kill him.
In this ancient continent, he was confident that he could confront anyone directly. He even dared to compete with Haig. He was even confident that he could win in the end.
It was the new transformation of his soul and spirit when his competence skyrocketed!
"The intimidating God power in your body can be compared to a Second Sky of Incipient God Realm expert. Seems like you're Haig's real rival," said Shang Ying Yue sincerely.
At this moment, Shi Yan was surrounded by scorched earth. The suns had the power to burn everything. Shi Yan listened to Shang Ying Yue's sigh and calmly retrieved his Ethereal Extent into his soul altar. "We should continue to move forward."
Their journey became smoother.
They reached the foot of the Holy Mountain.
At first glance, Shi Yan saw some skeletons. Those skeletons belonged to the Protoss warriors and the warriors of other clans. They should be the experts from the other star areas led by Audrey.
Those skeletons weren't recognizable. Some of them were even beheaded. Shi Yan couldn't recognize them. They didn't have a beam of vitality. They had been dead for a long time.
Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue stopped. They walked around the foot of the Holy Mountain for a while. Then, Shi Yan said, "It seems like we're the last ones to arrive. You and I... have been delayed for a long time."
Shang Ying Yue nodded.
It was hard to measure time in this place. Shi Yan was cultivating in silence, so he didn't notice it. Shang Ying Yue didn't notice it either when she was using the Icy Soul Cold Crystal to increase her God power. Thus, they didn't know how long they had been here.
However, the skeletons they saw at the foot of the Holy Mountain belonged to this batch of warriors. They had been dead for a long time. It proved that they had spent a lot of time cultivating unknowingly.
Shi Yan lifted his head to look at the Holy Mountain.
The Holy Mountain was like a massive sword stabbing into the sky. At first glance, they couldn't see the peak of the mountain. They didn't know how high it was. The Holy Mountain looked like it had been sprinkled with blood. It was dark red, which made people feel suffocated at first glance.
At the foot of the mountain, there were many caves of various sizes. The caves extended all the way to the top of the mountain. It was as if … each cave was a stairway leading to the Divine Mountain. From afar, each cave looked like an eyeball. It was very strange.
Looking at the dark red Holy Mountain and the caves that looked like eyeballs, Shi Yan suddenly had a familiar feeling...
It seemed like he had seen it somewhere before. It surprised him a lot.
Shortly after, his eyes became strange. He couldn't help but take out the giant blood sword and observe it with a serious attitude that he had never used before.
The body of the straight broadsword was blood red. So many closed eyes filled every corner of the sword. They were so thick that it made people's scalps tingle.
The dark red Divine Mountain that stood tall and straight, and the caves that covered the Divine Mountain were shockingly similar to this broadsword!
It wasn't a coincidence!
Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan held the blood-red broadsword and tried to connect with the Ring Spirit. "Explain to me, what is going on?"
The Ring Spirit didn't answer. It seemed like it was sleeping or it didn't want to talk much...
Shang Ying Yue covered her mouth with her jade-like hand, her face frightened. She looked at the blood sword and the Holy Mountain towering by them. Her shoulders shivered as she said, "So similar!"
"I think so too."
ShiYan's wrist rotated. The blood sword in his hand emitted a stream of fiery light as if it was rolling on the sword. The closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a bloody and evil look. A blood cloud pattern emerged on the hilt of the sword, surging up with marvelous energy fluctuations.
"It's..." Shang Ying Yue's bright eyes gazed at the blood cloud. She screamed hoarsely as if she had seen a ghost. "What you've inherited... is the inheritance of the Bloodthirsty's Master?"
"Yeah."
"Oh my god!"
