"He's dead?"
Shifeng was dumbfounded when he saw Frobero's body turn into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
That red beam's speed was simply unbelievable. Not only had Frobero failed to dodge it, but he had even been killed instantly.
Even if Frobero's body was only a weak doppelganger summoned by the Bible of Darkness, it was still a bona fide Half-step Demon King's physique.
Killing a Half-step Demon King instantly was a feat that not even a Tier 5 Demon King could accomplish.
As for traps, barriers, and magic arrays, such a feat was even more impossible. Traps, barriers, and magic arrays required a host to display their full power. Without a host, they could, at most, trap the enemy. They couldn't kill a Half-step Demon King instantly, even if it was only a doppelganger.
Not to mention, that red beam wasn't something created by a Spell or barrier. Instead, it looked more like a Mana Technique.
Everyone present was similarly shocked when they saw this scene, chills running down their spines.
"What's going on?"
"That's a Half-step Demon King we're talking about!"
Frobero, who was practically invincible in their eyes, had actually died inexplicably. With their Tier 3 combat standards, it should've only taken an instant for them to die.
However, this still wasn't the most important point.
To be able to kill a Half-step Demon King instantly, such power was simply unbelievable. This proved how frightening the other party's strength was. It was definitely at the standard of the many frightening existences they had encountered before.
None of these frightening existences were existences players dared to provoke. After all, so long as they dared to provoke such existences, it was possible that their souls would be annihilated. At that time, they would have to start all over again.
However, before everyone could recover from their shock, they felt a frightening mental fluctuation assault them.
At this moment, it was as if time had come to a standstill. Even the thoughts of everyone present seemed to have come to a standstill. They couldn't figure out what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng had also clearly sensed that everyone had come to a standstill. Only, his heart turned cold.
"It's over!"
He had only seen such an existence capable of stopping time once before, and that was when a group of Tier 6 God-ranked experts clashed with an Ancient Evil Spirit.
That battle had been earth-shattering. However, aside from the Tier 6 God-ranked experts and a small number of Tier 5 peak experts, the other players present had no idea what had happened.
By the time they recovered from their shock, the battle had already ended.
From the beginning to the end, this battle only lasted for an instant to them. It was as if nothing had happened at all.
Only, by the time they had recovered from their shock, they had already lost's eyes's of time. to say, they had vanished from God's eyes......
Now that this scene had reappeared, it meant that the other party was definitely not weaker than the ancient Evil Spirit.
....... a... a........................................
Following which, a shabby yet dazzling broken blade flew out of his Spatial Bag and hovered in front of him.
"This is … the Ash Blade!" Shifeng was astonished when he saw the broken blade.
There had always been various legends about the Ash Blade in God's Domain. According to the legends, the Ash Blade was the weapon of the God Slayer. Moreover, a weapon named the Ash Blade had appeared in God's Domain in the past. The wielder of this weapon had been a mysterious expert. Nobody knew who that expert was.
However, that person had done something earth-shattering. Wielding the Ash Blade, that person had single-handedly annihilated a Super Guild's Main City. Moreover, that person's Ash Blade was extremely powerful. It could easily destroy Epic Weapons.
In front of the Ash Blade, even Epic Weapons wouldn't last more than three or four hits. Only Fragmented Legendary Weapons could barely block the Ash Blade.
Everyone had been guessing that the Ashen Blade was a Legendary-grade weapon.
Hence, Shi Feng had kept the broken Ash Blade with him all this time, thinking that he might be able to reforge it someday.
Of course, the Ash Blade also had another legend. It was said that it could be used to search for the God Slayer and obtain the God Slayer's Legacy. Only, these were historical materials stored in the libraries of kingdoms and empires. Nobody had truly obtained them until that mysterious expert had appeared, shattering the original peace and drawing everyone's attention to the Ash Blade.
"How interesting. You actually brought that item with you this time. It seems you're quite lucky."
Just as Shifeng was surprised by the Ash Blade, a deep, cold voice came from the depths of the cave. This voice was not human. Instead, it was God's Language. It was similar to Demon's Language.
Although Shi Feng did not understand God's Language, he could clearly understand the words spoken.
Before Shifeng could react to the God's Language, an old man in gray robes appeared before Shifeng.
This old man's entire body was in a translucent soul state. Moreover, he was extremely unstable. He gave off the feeling that he could collapse at any moment. However, he also gave off a feeling of incomparable greatness that made others want to submit to him.
Meanwhile, this old man's information was completely unknown. Shi Feng could not read anything about him.
"Esteemed Elder, we came here purely by mistake. We have no other intentions. Please forgive us," Shifeng said apologetically as he looked at the old man.
Shi Feng did not dare show any disrespect to the old man before him.
Although Shi Feng did not know the old man's true identity, the old man's ability to stop time was definitely at the standard of a Tier 6 God. Even if this old man was a Soul Fragment, he was not someone Shi Feng could afford to offend.
"You don't need to lie. I know why you're here." The old man looked at Shifeng quietly, his deep gaze seemingly able to see through Shi Feng's soul. Slowly, he said, "Not only have you obtained the map, but you also possess the Ash Blade. In that case, you are qualified to enter this place and learn of its secrets. However, as for how much you can gain from this secret, that is entirely up to you. I am only a spectator and guardian. I will not interfere with anything you do."
Hearing the old man's words, Shifeng breathed out a deep sigh of relief.
As for whether the old man was telling the truth or not, Shi Feng no longer cared. After all, regardless of whether the old man was telling the truth or not, Shi Feng could not do anything about it.
"Esteemed Elder, may I know what happened to these friends of mine?" Shifeng asked worriedly.
Although Shi Feng had been saved, the same could not be said for the others. If they were not careful, it was entirely possible that they would be killed permanently to protect this secret.
"Relax, I won't kill them," the old man said, chuckling. The old man glanced at everyone present. He then looked at Xiang Shifeng and chuckled. "After all, they are heaven-blessed individuals. Even if you kill them, you can't kill them. Don't you think so?"
Shifeng began to sweat at the old man's question.
For some reason, Shifeng had a feeling that this old man knew a lot. He even had a feeling that this old man could understand that they were players. Otherwise, he would not have asked such a question.
This was also the first time Shi Feng had met such an NPC.
"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore." Seeing that Shifeng dared not speak, the old man did not continue the conversation. Instead, he said, "Since you possess the Ash Blade, you are one of the chosen ones. Hence, you may enter the cave. As for the others, they will be teleported out.
"Of course, as the lucky one, you may also bring nine others with you.
"However, before you bring people in, you'd best think this through properly. The reason for that is because the secret inside is extremely important. It's simply not something heaven-blessed individuals like you can imagine. It's not impossible for heaven-blessed individuals like you to 'truly die' if you're not careful."
When the old man mentioned 'true death', he even emphasized it as if he were warning Shi Feng. However, at the same time, it also sounded as if he were teasing Shi Feng. Shi Feng simply could not figure out what this old man was thinking.
However, Shifeng did not particularly care about the old man's warning.
After all, his goal in this trip was the Earthfall Secret Land. Although he did not know what secrets lay in the secret land, according to rumors, the three Super Guilds had obtained plenty of benefits from the secret land. Hence, he believed that the secret land should not be too dangerous.
"I've decided to bring them with me. May I know if I can?" Shifeng asked as he pointed at Lifeless Thorn, Solitary Nine, Yan Ya, and Cleansing Whistle.
"Only four people?" After looking at Lifeless Thorn's group of four, the old man turned to Xiang Shifeng in surprise. "You don't plan to bring more? You should know that once you enter the secret land, the price to enter again is extremely high. In fact, the time you can stay inside is very limited. "
"I'm sure." Shifeng nodded.
Originally, he had intended to bring more people with him. However, he suddenly considered the possibility that the secret land had too many implications. Every additional person he brought with him would increase the danger.
Hence, he decided to bring Lifeless Thorn's group of four, whom he was most familiar with. After all, Lifeless Thorn's group of four already knew many of his secrets. They were truly on his side. However, the other members of the Asura Adventurers were not as reliable as Lifeless Thorn's group.
"Alright, then. You should be the one making the decision," the old man said nonchalantly as he waved his hand at his team.
Immediately, aside from Lifeless Thorn's group of four, everyone transformed into streaks of light and flew out of the cave, heading out of the Ruined Mountain Range. They even avoided the lightning bolts in the sky.
Meanwhile, Lifeless Thorn's group of four was startled.
"What's going on?"
Solitary Nine couldn't react to the sudden turn of events in front of him.
A moment ago, there had been no one in front of them. In fact, even Shifeng had been behind them. In the next moment, not only had Shifeng appeared before them, but everyone else had also disappeared.
It was obvious that their memories had been blank for a period of time.
Moreover, before they knew it, a frightening old man had appeared. They couldn't read any information about this old man at all.
"Enough, stop looking around. It's very annoying to look around. Do you really think I can't sense it?" The old man suddenly growled at Lifeless Thorn's group. The pressure he exuded nearly forced the four to their knees. "I'll let you off this time, but if you encounter anyone else, you won't be as nice as I am!"
Lifeless Thorn's group of four hurriedly nodded, their hearts chilling. They no longer dared to use their Identification Skills on the old man and their surroundings.
"That's more like it. Come with me!"
Seeing that Lifeless Thorn's group no longer dared to act recklessly, the old man nodded and headed deeper into the cave.
