"Phew – Phew –"
The wind blew gently as though it was weak. As for the sun in the sky, it turned more scorching, as though there were ten suns in the sky! Even a martial artist could feel the slight heat.
Yi Yun was highly focused as he looked at the scattered rubble around him. The rocks looked lifeless, but when Yi Yun used the Purple Crystal to look at them, he felt as though there were warped runic patterns in the rocks. They were like tiny burning flames.
"What's going on?" someone in the crowd asked. Many people were still very cautious when facing the Door to the 33 Skies.
"Isn't it just the sun being a little bigger? Even in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, the weather can change at will. Furthermore, this is a world that is on the brink of collapse. What's so strange about the sun suddenly being a little hotter?"
The young man who had previously talked back to Granny Yin said indifferently. Granny Yin's expression turned extremely gloomy. She really wanted to kill the ignorant fellow.
"Shut up!" Granny Yin suddenly attacked as her withered palm grabbed the young man!
"What are you doing!?" The young man's master stood forward and grabbed Granny Yin's hand.
"Pa!"
The two elders exchanged blows as Yuan Qi surged. Neither of them used much of their strength. In the strange Blood Desert, neither of them dared to really fight.
Granny Yin was like an enraged old beast as she said sternly, "The Blood Desert is an ancient battlefield. Large numbers of primordial lifeforms have died here, as well as the blood and fragmented artifacts of ancient mighty figures. All of them have been annihilated here, turning the Blood Desert into a land of death. Countless fragmented laws and blood have evolved into a Worldly Isolation Array after hundreds of millions of years. Anyone who enters is certain to die!"
"Fragmented nomological fragments evolved into an array by themselves?" The young man gave a disdainful smile. He did not believe it at all.
He had also learned array formations from his master. Although he did not have much attainment in array formations, he knew very well the wonders of array formations. Even an array formation master might not be able to set it up successfully after exhausting all their efforts, so how could it form naturally? It would be too much of a coincidence.
"Let me go." The young man turned somewhat nervous after being grabbed by Granny Yin. A cold glint flashed in Granny Yin's eyes before she released her grip.
The young man took a few steps back and distanced himself from Granny Yin. He straightened his clothes and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
With this tug, the Dharma artifact on his body had been casually torn apart. The Dharma artifact on his body was impervious to fire and water. It could withstand a full-powered strike from a Dao Manifestation realm warrior, yet, it had been casually torn apart?
He looked down and saw that the clothes he had torn had become incomparably hot. However, it was not burning, but melting, as if metal had been placed into a furnace!
Not only was the cloth in his hands melting, but the clothes on his body were also melting.
Then it was his flesh, hair, and skin!
"Ahhhhh!"
Only then did the young man realize that he was in grave danger and let out a blood-curdling scream.
Ouch! The searing pain that seeped into his bones almost drove him crazy!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, including Yi Yun. This change was too sudden! Previously, he had only felt a little scorching, but who would have thought that someone would directly melt it?
"Master, save me!"
The young man shouted for help, but at that moment, all his flesh and skin were melting. Large amounts of blood and corpse oil were dripping down from his body. His eyes had already melted away, leaving behind empty eye sockets. His hands and feet were only left with bones. His flesh and blood had completely melted away.
He staggered towards his master. His bones were covered in blood and oil. In his heart, his master was his last straw of hope, but at that moment, his master, the purple-robed elder, had a look of horror in his eyes. Although he knew that the Door to the 33 Skies was extremely dangerous, he had never seen such a terrifying scene before.
What was the meaning of a person melting out of thin air?
Seeing that his disciple was about to pounce on him, the purple-robed elder felt an immense sense of danger. He suddenly struck out with his palm as powerful Yuan Qi blasted out, striking the young man's chest.
"Bam!"
With a loud explosion, the young man was sent flying as corpse oil and blood splattered everywhere!
Granny Yin bellowed as she conjured a Yuan Qi barrier to block all the blood. She had a nagging feeling that it would be extremely dangerous if she came into contact with the blood.
"Bam!"
All that was left of the young man was a skeleton. He slammed heavily to the ground as oil and blood splattered everywhere.
Following that, the bones seemed to be roasted at extremely high temperatures as they emitted sizzling sounds. Following that, the bones began to melt as well. Some of them even melted into blood before being evaporated.
Finally, there was only a humanoid figure left on the ground. It was dark red in color, but other than that, there was nothing else.
This …
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. This method of death was too horrifying.
Yi Yun shuddered in fear as well. He had previously seen the demonic insect eggs slumbering underground, but they were still living creatures after all. It was still acceptable even if a person's bones were to rot after being bitten.
But now, the young man had died in such a baffling manner.
"Everyone, don't move. In this land of peril, a single misstep will result in a tragic death! The reason why he died was because he took a few steps back and stepped into a land of peril. "
Granny Yin's hoarse voice sounded. Although the dead young man had been arguing with her all this while, his death did not vent Granny Yin's anger at all. Instead, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Was the interior of the Door to the 33 Skies that dangerous? It felt even worse than what was described in the canon!
"What do we do now?"
"Let's return the way we came." Beads of sweat seeped out of Granny Yin's forehead as she took out the Great Heavenly Compass to divine the way back.
With that, no one had any objections. The young man's death had chilled everyone's hearts. The Blood Desert was just too strange.
Furthermore, what puzzled them was why someone would suddenly die a tragic death when there were no living creatures. Where did the danger come from?
And at that moment, suddenly —
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Another tragic scream sounded as people turned their heads to take a look. The tragic screams came from the Immortal Rain Sect separatists. These members of the Immortal Rain Sect had been following behind the Azure Wood Manor all this while. They were originally fine, but now, they had accidentally entered a land of peril, inviting trouble upon themselves.
Yi Yun watched helplessly as two people were reduced to a puddle of blood under the scorching sun. Even their bones were quickly melting.
The other Immortal Rain Sect clansmen looked as though their parents had died. They were as ugly as they could be.
Among them, Yi Yun saw Marquis Wu Yun. In front of the terrifying Blood Desert, the tiny bit of strength that Marquis Wu Yun had that did not increase his chances of survival.
The expedition to the Azure Wood Great World was probably a disaster for most of the factions that entered. It was not an opportunity at all. Even a powerful combination like the Immortal Rain Sect had ended up in such a tragic state.
The members of the Immortal Rain Sect were completely trapped. They were in a dilemma.
And at that moment, Yi Yun was concentrating on observing the sand around the Immortal Rain Sect disciples. He discovered identical patterns that resembled flames.
After a long period of focused observation, Yi Yun finally confirmed that it was not a flame plume pattern, but … Dao patterns!
Just as Granny Yin had said, it was a natural Dao pattern formed naturally in the Blood Desert after the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years!
The Blood Desert was a worldly array to begin with, and it was also the most terrifying killing array.
It was unknown how big the Blood Desert was. Just the thought of it was astounding. An array formation formed from the worldly forces had been formed over hundreds of millions of years. What sort of miraculous powers did nature have?
The more one practiced martial arts, the more they could pry into the secrets of the Universe.
Yi Yun kept looking at the Blood Desert as his vision constantly extended. Perhaps it was due to the limitations of his cultivation level, but even with the Purple Crystal's energy vision, he could not see every single Dao pattern. Furthermore, it would be a complete blur just from a distance.
Yi Yun was only certain that the Dao patterns were condensed from all sorts of laws. They were ever-changing, and the flame Dao pattern he saw was actually one of them. And the evaporation of the people from before was probably related to the Dao patterns. However, Yi Yun had yet to fully understand the connection.
