Shi Yan and Mei Ji continued to sink.
"The light curtain is immeasurably vast. That ruin is also magnificent. It's amazing." Mei Ji furrowed her brows and stood in the center of the light cage she had created. She looked down and talked to Shi Yan. "Do you feel better now?"
Shi Yan smiled. "The water pressure is really terrifying. You've been in the Sea of Annihilation for so many years. You must have entered the seabed often. Have you ever found the vestige here? "
"I've told you that the seabed of the Sea of Annihilation can be as big as a territory. The water pressure in the deepest part of the seabed is something even I can't endure. It's true that I often go to the seabed and wander around the sea. I've seen some strange places, but it's the first time I've seen such a magnificent ruin. " Mei Ji pulled herself together and looked at Ling Mei. "I don't get along well with that woman. Recently, we've competed a lot in the Sea of Annihilation. I don't want you to have any relationship with her."
"What relationship do I have with her?" Shi Yan felt funny.
"It's good that you don't. Ling Mei's in charge of the Mysterious Sky Clan in the Sea of Annihilation. We've been on the opposite side for a long time. I've rarely defeated her. This time, I must defeat her!" Mei Ji's voice was resolute. While she was talking, her soft breasts quivered and rippled mesmerizingly.
Shi Yan's eyes were hot. He grinned and his line of sight lingered on her ample breasts. "I'm a key factor in your competition with her?"
"Yeah," Mei Ji didn't deny it. "When we were on Dragon Lizard Star, Tu Shi Qi and Ya Yun had tried to befriend you. I think they knew that you have Dark Energy, right?"
Shi Yan nodded.
"I knew it. If you didn't have Dark Energy and enter the Territory Ancestor Realm, would they have appreciated you that much? Ling Mei is the same. She wants to recruit you and make you the Nonnative Officer of the Mysterious Sky Clan. That way, the Mysterious Sky Clan will have another Territory Ancestor. "
Mei Ji's face was sad as she sighed. "To the Seven Great Clans, the competition between the experts is the most important. The competition between the experts at the Territory Ancestor Realm is the fiercest! A Territory Ancestor Realm expert can change the competence of the seven clans. My clan doesn't care about Batum's bad reputation. They're willing to sacrifice me to take him in. Isn't it because he's a Territory Ancestor Realm expert? "
"Then why didn't you sacrifice yourself and marry Batum to increase the Phantom Clan's competence?" Shi Yan stopped smiling and looked at her coldly. "You are so enthusiastic about the Demonic Sound Clan. For the clan's prosperity, you should give up your own benefits, right?"
"You want me to marry Batum?" Mei Ji pondered for a long time before speaking, her eyes cold.
"It has nothing to do with me. My likes and dislikes won't affect you. I'm just curious." Shi Yan was unruffled. "You clearly didn't want to, so why did you agree to that impossible condition? Did you not dare to go against the orders of your clan?"
Mei Ji's face was bitter. She shook her head and said sadly, "I can't turn my back to the clan. I don't dare to lose the protection of the clan …"
"Why?" asked Shi Yan.
"I have what I have today because of the clan's support. I still have my family in the clan. Moreover, I've done many things for my clan. I've killed many people. They want to take my life every minute. As I'm in the clan, they don't dare to act rashly. If I leave the Demonic Sound Clan, I won't be able to survive," sighed Mei Ji.
"If Batum breaks through to the Territory Ancestor Realm soon, he asks your clan to fulfill their promise. What will you do?" asked Shi Yan.
"I don't know. I really don't know. I don't dare to think about it." Mei Ji's beautiful face was bewildered. She didn't have an answer either.
Shi Yan didn't ask more.
They had landed above the light curtain.
The light curtain was like a dome of the sky covering the ruins underneath to prevent the seawater from seeping in. The light curtain was full of magical Absolute Beginning characters. The little tadpoles were wiggling as if they had lives. Blood traces were everywhere on the light curtain. Shi Yan focused and found that he couldn't see the other end of the light curtain.
Layers of five-colored ripples expanded from the light curtain and swarmed toward Shi Yan. He was shaken.
Those ripples made him feel comfortable all over. He couldn't help but walk out of Mei Ji's light cage. While Mei Ji was still frightened, he grinned in enjoyment, feeling that the pressure of the sea had disappeared into thin air.
He quietly observed here and there.
Except for him, the others were restless. They were trying to avoid the ripples as if they were facing their archenemies.
Seeing him get hit by the ripples, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He even looked comfortable. Everybody relaxed.
A black-armored man from the Mysterious Sky Clan standing by Ling Mei rose his hand to grab the light purple ripples that were moving toward them.
Right after that, a pitiful scream arose!
Everybody looked at him in fright. They found that the flesh on his hand had melted. Only a piece of white bone was left. The light purple ripples expanded and covered his entire body.
Shortly after, he didn't have any beam of energy left. He turned into a white skeleton and fell toward the light curtain.
"Pa da!"
The skeleton smashed into the sea water and disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
Ling Mei couldn't help but scream, "Move! All of you, move! "
She didn't need to remind them. Except for Shi Yan, everybody retreated as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. They paled and looked at the ripples with fear.
Only Shi Yan stood in the front. His body was covered by the ripples, but he didn't look worried.
Farlow, Telika, Ling Mei, Yerburgh, and Mei Ji were petrified. They looked at him as if they were looking at a monster. Mei Ji was bewildered for a few seconds and then asked, "Shi Yan, how come you're okay?"
Shi Yan had seen clearly what had happened to the Mysterious Sky Clan warrior. He knew why people were suspicious. However, he didn't explain. He just grinned strangely and stormed toward the light curtain.
Magically, a corner of the light curtain was cracked open and Shi Yan could get in easily.
The light curtain rippled and expanded layer by layer. Ling Mei, Mei Ji, and the others were afraid. They couldn't help but back off. They tried to use their powers Upanishad to break the light curtain to stop the terrifying attack of the ripples on the light curtain.
"Mei Ji, you're familiar with him. Do you know what method he used to avoid that danger?" Yerburgh pitched his voice.
Mei Ji frowned, "I just asked him. He didn't answer me. So, I don't know anything like you guys."
"What's the difference between him and us?" asked Farlow of the Black Demon Clan.
"I heard that this man has fused with a wisp of an Absolute Beginning creature's soul. It's what I got," Yerburgh told them his information.
"He has already understood the true meaning of dark energy." Hesitating for a while, Ling Mei told them what she knew. At this moment, everybody wanted to get into the ruins and find a solution to deal with those ripples. Thus, Ling Mei didn't want to conceal it. She just wanted to find a solution.
Fuse with a wisp of an Absolute Beginning creature's soul? He has Dark Energy?
Farlow was shocked. "He's at First Sky of Immortal Realm!"
"You're shocked, aren't you?" Mei Ji parted her lips and smiled. "Yeah, I'm shocked too. But there's something even more shocking. When he was at Incipient God Realm, he already had Dark Energy. Have you ever heard of anyone at Incipient God Realm who could use Dark Energy?"
Listening to her, Ling Mei's eyes shivered. She finally knew why Tu Shi Qi and Ya Yun had sent her such strange information.
Tu Shi Qi and Ya Yun had told her to try her best to recruit Shi Yan. Even if she couldn't make Shi Yan the Nonnative Officer of the Mysterious Sky Clan, she had to build a good relationship with him. She couldn't offend him no matter what.
When Ling Mei received the news, she was baffled. She thought that Tu Shi Qi and his wife were making a big fuss over a minor issue. Today, she recognized how far-sighted Tu Shi Qi and his wife were.
Mei Ji's team was temporarily confined.
Under the light curtain, Shi Yan slowly descended as if he was descending from the sky to a whole new world.
In this world, the ground was full of ancient buildings that had been destroyed. Even though those buildings had been destroyed, they were still as tall and majestic as mountains. Those buildings were in the shape of towers, and they were built with an unknown stone material. At first glance, the entire world was filled with ancient buildings that had been destroyed.
Beams of strange energy moved around in his body and entered his Sea of Consciousness.
That energy was released from the energy ripples. The reason why he wasn't hurt was that it was Dark Energy. His body had been refined with Dark Energy, so he could endure it. Dark Energy was a negative energy. It wasn't the same as normal energy. Shi Yan could stay safe because his body wasn't affected.
He lifted his head and saw Ling Mei, Mei Ji, and the others feeling helpless. He laughed evilly.
Pulling himself together, he released his co-soul and sensed the aura and the energy calling his co-soul. Shortly after, he found a direction. He didn't care about Ling Mei and the others' surprise. He flew toward an area. At first, he slowed down and then accelerated.
…
Deep under the sea …
Audrey was covered by so many souls. She looked as if she was wearing a massive black cloak. She was heading toward the vestige like a ghost.
"Why do you want to go deep under the sea all of a sudden?" Ming Hong turned into a wisp of a ghost, floating on her shoulder. He urged his power to cover Audrey so that she wouldn't have to bear the water pressure.
"A voice is calling me from down there," said Audrey strangely.
"A voice?" Ming Hong was frightened.
"Perhaps it's related to the Absolute Beginning creature," Audrey didn't conceal. "You know that I've fused with the Origin of God-blessed Mainland. It's a part of Desolate."
Hearing her, Ming Hong became excited. "Perhaps there's a mysterious creature from the Absolute Beginning Era down there!"
"I think so," Audrey chuckled.
After an unknown time, Audrey came to the light curtain. She saw the ripples. Her eyes sparkled with a strange light as she released her Soul Consciousness to sense.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Her soul awareness melted the moment it came into contact with those ripples.
"What a powerful defense!" Ming Hong screamed in fear.
"Ah!"
All of a sudden, a soft shout came from a distance. A figure dashed over and stood in front of Audrey.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
Audrey and Mei Ji screamed in fear.
