”AHHHH!!!”

The moment Yan Zaizen passed through the Asura Phantom Realm's spatial entrance, he heard a hellish shriek of horror. Alarmed, he shifted his gaze to where it originated. Nearby was a man outfitted in white, heavy armor with black-strips clutching his head in intense pain. He had a late-Origin Core qi cultivation base but his current aura felt like it was being washed in erratic chaos.

”Wh-AHHH! Hel-AHHH!” The man screamed, trying to move his hand away from his head to clutch at his allies, but whenever he tried, he'd release a loud scream of horrific pain. It wasn't just him, but there were others who were similarly affected, their allies watching cautiously on the side. Some were transmitting their qi-essence or true-essence to support them, but others were speculating silently, obviously not wanting to take action without understanding the situation.

Only a few dozen people were affected, which made it seem like an isolated incident. Despite this, over ten thousand experts of various races and cultivations halted their steps to watch cautiously.

”This…” Startled, he couldn't help but feel some fear in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he inspected this new realm.

The realm looked like the representation of dusk filled with barren land. However, instead of silver moonlight, the red moon released crimson moonlight. The moon itself looked like a dim sun dipped in blood. It emanated a soul-constricting luminescence that seemed to give one a sensation of deep oppression. Its size was dozens of times larger than a normal moon, as if one could simply fly a few hundred li upwards and reach its surface.

Tang Li's eyes flickered at the commotion, his gaze turning towards the blood moon that hung perpetually in the sky like a god. ”The Moon of Asura. It seems the rumor is true,” he commented slowly, but there was no fear in his expression.

Furrowing his brows, Yan Zaizen recalled the records regarding the Asura Phantom Realm. Supposedly, the Moon of Asura had a suppressive and corroding effect on the soul, and only those with sufficient soul strength could stay safely within its radiance. If they didn't meet this requirement, the blood-color moonlight would slowly erode their soul.

As for why the vast majority of the group of ten thousand weren't affected, their soul cultivation had already reached the Perfect Nascent Soul or higher. As for those who were, they likely had soul cultivation bases that were inferior in comparison.

After everyone had discovered the oddity of the moonlight via various means, they started working together to shield their allies soul forms from erosion. However, if they didn't have a soul protective armament or talisman, it's likely their journey stops here.

”Be sure to protect your soul,” Guàn Cui warned, her eyes looking about at the barren lands of the Asura Phantom Realm. Nodding subconsciously, Yan Zaizen looked at the area. The sheer size of the area was shocking. From records, a sub-realm had a similar surface area to an entire continental planet. Essentially, this realm size could be compared to the entirety of the Fallen Stars Continent, including the water that contained countless islands.

This was an immense size. Presba alone covered hundreds of thousands of li, let alone the entirety of the planet. If one estimated it, the size could reach billions of li in diameter!

Despite this vast size to explore, not a single group segregated from the whole. They seemed to be inspecting the area or developing various plans based on their deductions. He could feel several senses scan pass him and reach outwards in every direction. Various individuals were meditating with closed eyes or utilizing various forms of armaments to bolster their perception.

”Can you locate the Asura Phantom Palace?” Guàn Cui inquired, looking towards Yan Zaizen with calm eyes.

”I see, they're trying to locate the palace.” He silently thought, his eyes looking to and fro from various areas. Considering the sheer size, it'll be smart to deduce a direction to follow. If they traveled in a single direction without any logical lead, they may end up wasting all of their time.

”I'll try.” Yan Zaizen's eyes lit up. His spiritual sense started to spread outwards in the four directions like a torrential wave of inspection. Quite a few who were in meditation were immediately broken out of it, their eyes glistening with shock. When Yan Zaizen's soul entered the Aurora Soul Realm, his spiritual sense could at most reach fifty kilometers in distance. However, as he continued to progress in his cultivation and understanding of spiritual sense, his maximum range reached twenty-five thousand li of distance.

In comparison, the sheer size of the Asura Phantom Realm made it look insignificant. However, that was using pure spiritual sense.
