Lan Haicheng and Su Fang's gazes were fixed, and they gradually concealed their breathing. Together, they walked towards the end of the halo.
Within the Profound Yellow Space, Bai Ling immediately absorbed all kinds of energy to recover. He was still a bit panicked, but the other junior commanders were still cultivating.
They didn't know what was in this space.
But no matter what it was, everything here was beyond their reach.
Seeing the halo getting closer and closer, Su Fang suddenly looked at Lan Haicheng. "Senior Sister, I want to thank you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here. No matter what, I want to thank you."
Lan Haicheng was like a delicate flower, still beautiful in the darkness. "I appreciate it. If you really want to thank me, then think of a way to leave this place."
The two slowed down their pace because there was a thick pile of bones in front of them. Many of the dried corpses were still crawling forward.
In other words, these people had also reached the end of the halo, but they had died halfway.
"There's a special aura coming from up ahead." Lan Haicheng was no longer moved by the dense pile of bones. As expected of a Catastrophe Realm powerhouse, she was probably used to this kind of scene.
She had been secretly sensing. Suddenly, she waved her hand and pointed. The halo in front of them seemed to be a window, and under it, all kinds of corpses were piled up at least three meters high.
Many of the corpses belonged to monstrous beasts. Their skeletons were terrifying, but the result was the same. They were all sucked away by the spatial substance until only bones were left. Moreover, with a light step, the bones instantly shattered.
Su Fang also discovered something, and his discovery shocked even himself. That was because there was an aura of life in front of them, and because his left arm was trembling slightly.
The dragon-subduing wood sensed an extraordinary aura of life coming from the depths. If there was an aura of life, then there was definitely a living body.
If it really was a peerless powerhouse, then Su Fang definitely wouldn't be able to leave this place.
With his and Lan Haicheng's cultivation, there was no way they could fight against such a powerhouse.
The two gradually got closer, and the window became clearer. It was indeed a window, but it was more like a cage. The root-like substance surrounded the pile of bones. Through the cage, they could see that outside was an underground palace. It was very spacious, and although it was a bit dark, it was still a wide field of vision.
There was an indescribable altar in the center of the underground palace. There seemed to be something on that altar, but they couldn't see it clearly from here.
There were also many palace doors in other places. It seemed that this underground palace was quite large. Even if a Catastrophe realm cultivator came here, they would be suppressed.
Su Fang also saw a large number of black rocks formed from tree roots that extended from the ground to the altar. He could clearly sense the auras of Bai Ling and Aquamarine City. They were connected to the mysterious altar through the roots and rocks.
Lan Haicheng asked in a deep voice, "Su Fang, what do you think we should do next?"
"Shatter the black substance and escape from this space," Su Fang said decisively.
"Step back!"
It seemed that this was exactly what Lan Haicheng was thinking.
She stepped forward and condensed a blade of light from a magic treasure. Then, an extremely slender silver flying sword appeared in her hand.
The silver flying sword was three feet long, but its blade was very thin and as wide as a finger. It was a high-grade magical artifact suitable for women, and its quality was quite good.
"Go!"
Divine abilities cannot be condensed, only magic treasures can be used.
The silver flying sword pierced out with a hiss. It was so fast that it left behind a silver tail. It hummed as it flew.
The treasured sword accurately and fiercely hit the tree roots that had turned into rocks.
Unexpectedly, a high-grade magical artifact was unable to shatter the black substance. Instead, it was knocked back and shook irregularly in the air.
Pa pa!
Lan Haicheng's arms shook. She looked at her hands in disbelief and saw the magic treasure flying over. When it landed in her hands, there were already several cracks on the sword's body.
One strike!
In an instant!
Not only was she seriously injured, but she also didn't expect a high-grade flying sword to almost shatter after colliding with the black substance.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, are you okay?" Su Fang hurriedly asked.
Lan Haicheng's spiritual eyes were no longer sharp. "This is one of my most commonly used magic treasures. I didn't expect it to be damaged because of this. You and I can't escape from here. In the end, we will become part of this pile of bones!"
With her strength and a high-grade flying sword, she still couldn't break open space. How could Su Fang, an Undying First Layer cultivator, do it?
"Her idea is also very normal. A high-grade flying sword has already been shattered with one strike. I'm afraid even a King Grade magic treasure can't shatter that black substance!"
Looking at the black tree roots and rocks in front of her, Su Fang was still a little surprised. But in fact, it was also within her expectations. If it could be easily shattered, then there wouldn't be so many bones lying here.
Lan Haicheng sighed hoarsely. "Oh no, just now when I activated the magic treasure, I didn't condense the Flesh Fetus Divine Armor for a while. It consumed a lot of my life force and True Qi. I'm afraid that in less than ten years, I will be sucked into a skeleton!"
"That won't happen!"
Su Fang extended her left hand to Lan Haicheng.
At this moment, Su Fang's gaze seemed to be unprecedentedly firm in Lan Haicheng's eyes.
"You!" Lan Haicheng snorted doubtfully.
"Junior Apprentice Brother has an ability. In fact, there is an amazing life force magic treasure in your body. For me, your life force is endless. Let Junior Apprentice Brother help Senior Apprentice Sister recover her life force. Then we will calm down and carefully study it to see if we can think of other ways!"
"Okay!"
Perhaps it was because of Su Fang's confidence, sincerity, and masculinity that Lan Haicheng finally shyly placed his hands on Su Fang's left hand.
Buzz!
Immediately, a green Xuan Guang and a pure Yang aura poured into Lan Haicheng's hands.
Lan Haicheng was shocked from his shyness. "Your physical body is so powerful! Even those male Calamity Realm cultivators can't compare to your pure Yang energy!"
"This is my secret. It's good that Senior Apprentice Sister knows. Here, you don't have to worry about your life force consumption." Su Fang nodded. She could also feel the warmth coming from Lan Haicheng's ice-cold hands.
This continued until Lan Haicheng shyly moved his hands away and repeatedly thanked her.
Su Fang turned to look at the underground palace. Step by step, she stepped onto the bones and walked towards the cage-like substance formed by the black tree roots.
Lan Haicheng waited in place, but he couldn't wait any longer and immediately followed her.
The majority of the underground palace appeared clearly in front of Su Fang. He could see that this place had once been a Dao Rite. It was a place where a certain peerless figure who had once been the Lord of Five Poisons had once cultivated. From the aura, not only did he sense a vigorous life force, but he also sensed a high-level aura.
He secretly used his Perfect Circle abilities to permeate the entire underground palace.
He suddenly discovered that the large amount of tree roots and rocks in front of him were also filled with life force. There was a strong aura of stone essence, and a strange life force.
He couldn't see anything above the spell altar, but Su Fang could sense a shocking life force coming from the spell altar. It was a kind of energy that the Dragon-Taming Wood was constantly sensing.
There was also a high-level aura that seemed to be a magic treasure coming from above the spell altar.
He had to see if there were any cultivators in the underground palace.
There were many palace doors in the other parts of the underground palace. After passing through the palace doors, one would enter a strange space. But he couldn't sense any life within.
In the entire underground palace, only the tree roots and rocks below, as well as the spell altar, had a shocking life force that wasn't any weaker than the dragon gate's.
Could it be that the owner of this place was within the spell altar?
This was also inexplicable. There wasn't any terrifying pressure from the spell altar. If there was, Su Fang would be able to sense it, and Lan Haicheng would also sense it. Up until now, the two of them had found nothing.
While waiting, Lan Haicheng couldn't help but say, "My sensing ability can't penetrate too far. It's built on magic power and Yang Nascent Soul. Unfortunately, my Yang Nascent Soul and magic power can't penetrate this space. What did you discover?"
Su Fang came back to his senses. His Perfect Circle abilities allowed him to sense Lan Haicheng's breathing, the flow of her true qi, and her heartbeat at such a close distance.
This was the first time Su Fang was so close to a woman.
Except for Xiao Mei 'er.
Lan Haicheng was right next to him.
Hurriedly diverting his attention, Su Fang said, "This underground palace is very strange. I reckon the source of all this is that spell altar. As long as we leave this space and go to the spell altar, we'll be able to understand it. But this space is so hard that we'll need a Royal grade Enchanted item to open it."
"I only have one Royal grade Enchanted item, and its quality is extremely ordinary." Lan Haicheng wanted to take out her magic treasure to try again.
But Su Fang stopped her. "Senior apprentice-sister, don't try again. Let's look around a bit more. Perhaps we'll find something."
Whoosh!
Just as he finished speaking, a flame suddenly ignited not too far away from them.
Su Fang and Lan Haicheng trembled and immediately turned to look. Through the black material, they saw that the tree roots and rocks were burning with a spirit flame that was as tall as a person.
The black rock below them suddenly began to separate. This scene caused Su Fang and Lan Haicheng to reveal shocked expressions. They also felt the entire space tremble.
Crack!
A tree root that was as tall as three people separated from the rock and stood up. It was a human-shaped black stone man.
The stone man began to wriggle. The spirit flame continued to burn, causing many fragments to fall from its body, revealing a black stone man that looked just like a human.
The only difference was that the stone man had a black lotus on its chest.
The black lotus emitted a blood-black luster. It wrapped around the stone man's body, giving it strength. Its eyes gradually began to emit a bloody light.
The stone man opened its mouth and said, "You two human cultivators, I didn't expect you to be able to shackle the energy and prevent it from being absorbed by me."
Su Fang protected Lan Haicheng. An Imperishable cultivator was actually standing in front of a Calamity Realm powerhouse. She resolutely said, "We didn't mean to fall into this place. Senior, please be magnanimous and let us off."
"Let you off? What a joke! My master's second black lotus avatar requires the nourishment of flesh and blood at all times. You actually possess life energy that isn't inferior to the black lotus. You're perfect for my master's second physical body. How can I let you off?"
The stone man retorted, "Moreover, this is my master's domain. My master has the authority to destroy you and everything else here. He has the authority to create a new life. My master is the supreme ruler of this place."
"He used us as nutrients to absorb so many bones here. That's how all of them died."
"Since you're absorbing energy on Seven Star Island, shouldn't you all pay some price for my master by coming here to snatch treasures? Hehe, there are always some fellows who don't accept their fate. Fortunately, I have many methods to deal with you. Black stone puppet, awaken!"
The stone man suddenly moved.
After forming a seal, the black lotus on its chest suddenly released an astonishing luster.
The light was filled with monster qi and spiritual qi. It was unknown just what it was made of.
Zi zi zi zi
The huge black rock under the stone man's feet suddenly began to vibrate and split apart. Pieces of black rock the size of a normal person suddenly stood up, as if in front of the stone man.
"Retreat!"
Lan Haicheng suddenly grabbed Su Fang's shoulder and used a Calamity Realm divine ability. He no longer cared about the consumption of energy and moved away from the pile of bones with Su Fang.
But after leaving, they arrived in an empty dark space. Lan Haicheng didn't move at all. Only then did he realize that this was a terrifying space that he couldn't leave.
