Chapter 139 - White-Bone Altar (2/2)

”Oh? It seems we've got our first set of personal sacrifices,” the young woman commented, her eyes looking at empty space with an amused glint in her eyes. However, the old man stayed looking at the altar with no shift in emotions. ”If we can obtain them, we'll be able to shorten the time it'll take to revive him.” Her words were deliberate as the once dull-eyes of the old man shone brilliantly afterwards.

His ethereal body vanished suddenly.

”Haha!” The young woman laughed mischievously with content that she didn't possess for tens of thousands of years. Finally, her father was returning. When he did, she'll be able to reconstruct a proper soul form, reconstruct her body, and be reborn anew!

With a flash of silver light, Yan Zaizen and Ma Xiuren appeared in an area of pure blackness. This area didn't seem like it had an up, down, left, or right. There was no light nor wind. It reminded him of chaotic space, but it was vastly different, as chaotic space didn't have anything, no aura, no fluctuations, just an omnipresent ripping force.

They floated mid-air with surveying eyes. To their surprise, this floor contained nothing. ”Could this be the sixth obstacle? Where we have to find another door?” Yan Zaizen asked Pinaka. However, for a long while, he got no response. Only after several minutes passed did she speak, but the words caused Yan Zaizen to feel insecure.

”This is bad,” she nervously said.

”What do you mean?”

”This is a shattered sub-dimensional realm. Typically, there's no way out.” Pinaka informed, her voice filled with a nervous tone. For the first time, he felt Pinaka be nervous. One must know, she possessed Yan Zaizen's Mortal Dao of Sovereign Ascension which contained unyielding confidence. Yet, she was nervous.

”No way out?!” Yan Zaizen was shocked, he shifted around to the left and right, his sense - both qi and spiritual - was sent out in a wanton fashion to search every inch of this location. Unfortunately, there was nothing but blackness. He even tried to use his qi-essence combined with his spatial laws to breach space, but this location had far stronger space than before. No matter what he tried, he failed.

He could reach millions of li in distance, but found absolutely nothing!

Ma Xiuren also had an insecure glint within her eyes. It seemed she understood the situation, but she was inwardly shocked. Pinaka didn't mention it, but a sub-dimensional realm that's collapsed, normally, one couldn't actually travel there. Typically, the sub-dimensional realm would be collapsed while you're still inside. This would trap you in there forever, but it also meant no one could enter it forever. Unless you had a special method or tool to do so.

”So what do we do?” Yan Zaizen, however, wasn't panicked. He wasn't knowledgeable about these things, but his confidence in the situation didn't drop a single ounce. Pinaka may have inherited his dao, but he created his dao! It was the representation of who he was, and it's not something that could be changed.

”...” Pinaka and Ma Xiuren was silent. They truly had nothing they could do. This should've been impossible. How could one prepare for the impossible?

Witnessing their lack of reaction, Yan Zaizen softly nodded. ”Then, we'll search around. If we entered, there must be a way to exit.” With that, he flew forward at a steady pace. Ma Xiuren followed behind, her eyes looking at Yan Zaizen's confident smile and serene attitude. She didn't say anything but subtly stepped closer. The insecure feeling she felt at the situation started to melt like ice in summer.

”If my qi cultivation base was higher, I would be able to exit this place.” Yan Zaizen silently thought, his gaze looking to and fro with caution. His current cultivation was only at the late-Qi Unification Realm, this was exceptionally low. Unfortunately, he couldn't locate where his Origin Source was.

It was like...it wasn't in his body.

Wait.

His eyes flickered with a trace of acute light. However, before he could touch upon that insight, a ray of black light that seemed to fuse perfectly with the black surroundings shot towards them like a missile. It was concealed in a stealth, unable to be seen due to the background, unable to be sensed due to its characteristics, or heard due to its silent nature. An attack like this was the perfect strike in the dark, quite literally.

Normally, Yan Zaizen wouldn't have noticed this, but he felt his soul form slightly tremble with an instinctual sensation of danger.

”!”

Herculean Avatar Art!!

His body transformed instantly. With that, he decisively grabbed Ma Xiuren, and with a flash, they shifted several li away from their previous location. Having been suddenly grabbed and taken away like a little girl, Ma Xiuren felt odd. She looked towards Yan Zaizen to see him with vibrant amber-gold eyes filled with vigilance. With that one glance, her vital energies rallied to its highest.

In that tiny body, she released an aura that could cause mountains to collapse and grown men to kneel in inferiority.

”Who are you?!” Yan Zaizen shouted viciously towards the surroundings, his eyes suffused with tremendous killing intent.
