Chapter 285: Beware of Your Back (2/2)

The priest sounded alarmed. As a nearly-reaching high order profession, the priest’s soul has already long been inseparably linked with the sea of holy light that he believed in, yet this time, he felt that this connection has been interrupted! Fortunately, this was not the first time for him; when he entered some special s.p.a.ce, the link might be interrupted. However, the problem was… when did he enter this special s.p.a.ce?

”Aka, what’s going on here?”

The magician’s face looked gloomy. He had already wielded his wand to release several magic spells to probe their surrounding but to no avail. He coldly said, ”We are trapped. This is similar to our labyrinth technique magic. This is not the s.p.a.ce where we were before.”

After saying that, he turned around and looked down at the ground.

The original neat stone path and tranquil landscape were gone, replaced by a stretch of devastated ground. An untold number of broken swords stood erect like tombstones on the ground. The sky over their head was still red, yet unlike the terrifying b.l.o.o.d.y color of the bloodstained scroll, the red here appeared more heroic.

For sure, this was not the original s.p.a.ce.

”Welcome to my world. Hey, it’s really not easy to launch the original magical ability in Western Continent, but, you do have a similar method here, so, in the end, I found it .”

At this time, w.a.n.g Lu was completely different from his state of being suppressed by the bloodstained scroll, that his magical power could not be freely used. Among the forest of broken swords, he calmly walked. Each step trod right on the gap between these countless broken swords. The broken sword forest itself trembled along with his step, seemingly indicating their submission.

Having overwhelming superiority, w.a.n.g Lu didn’t rush to make his move. It seemed like he just wanted to keep the opposite party here.

The magician Aka’s mind was like a whirlwind. The other side said that they have a similar method, that in the end, he finally found it. What does this mean? Could it be...

Aka was, after all, well informed and knowledgeable, so he quickly thought out a possible reason: Universal law, cultivation transformation!

Although it was inconceivable, it was the only possibility. The so-called universal law referred to the law of the Nine Regions and Western Continent, which although both have a lot of differences, were still similar at some points. For example, a piece of ripe apple that fell on the ground. High above the sky, it would be weightless, but deep in the ocean, it would be ten times as heavy… Although there were many differences in nuances, but on the more powerful individual, the differences were significant. For example, the eastern cultivation paid particular attention to the comprehension of the 'main path', and the brilliant cultivators would blend the surrounding 'main path' into their own Jade Mansion. However, powerful individuals in the Western Continent didn’t have this unified concept, leading to many strange paths (fighter, magician, priest, shaman, while in the east there are only cultivators), not so unified as the Nine Regions.

With such a huge difference like that, once one embarked on another continent, one was likely to be suppressed by the law, and have their cultivation base scattered. Therefore, in spite the more frequent exchanges between the two continents over the past thousands of years, the high-order professions were very cautious in their exchange.

However, thousands of years ago, when the first intense clash between the Eastern and Western civilization happened, some great sages pointed out that within the complex representation, the two continents have a lot of things in common. As long as one grasped these universal points, it was possible to achieve cultivation transformation, breaking through the wall of law. Of course, this required exceptional perception. Rumor has it that in the first war between east and west, once there was a brilliant sword cultivator from Nine Regions who, after landing on the Western Continent, turned into a Western Continent’s great sword saint that killed people everywhere, completely ignoring the differences in law. Similarly, there was also a mage from Western Continent who left for Nine Regions and later comprehended the immortal path.

However, these were just rumors recorded in the history book, so the authenticity was very much in suspect. In fact, many powerful individuals have died in the foreign land, but none were able to comprehend the law and successfully transform their cultivation or profession, only a few with low cultivation base get it. The higher the cultivation base, the more difficult it was to transform to high order professions; despite the distance to the legendary level was still extremely far away, it was still very difficult to transform.

But now, just before Aka’s eyes, this profession from Nine Regions, in just a few moments, actually comprehended the law and achieved cultivation transformation? Was this a miracle?

In fact, it wasn’t so much that w.a.n.g Lu actually comprehended the law in just a few moments and broke the wall of law. It was just that, he had gradually made contact with the law of Western Continent while he was crossing the Endless Sea. When he went ash.o.r.e, he continued to take the opportunity to cultivate, trying to look for the principle of the law of the Western Continent, and combined it with his Non-Phase Method. One of the most important characteristics of Non-Phase Method was its adaptability. Before long, Non-Phase Method began to make a bond with the law of the Western Continent. When the bloodstained scroll fell upon them, fully suppressing him with the law of Western Continent, it became his opportunity for a breakthrough.

At this time, the magician Aka was also pondering about the broken sword world and concluded that it was not at all identical with their labyrinth technique, and the difficulty to break it was significantly higher. However, since the opposite party didn’t immediately make the move to kill them, it meant that there was still room for mediation. Thus, he might as well try to delay while at the same time launch his magic spell to try to crack this broken sword world.

If this was made using the eastern spell means, then he couldn’t help but be powerless. But, if this was a Western Continent local magic art… perhaps, he might still have a chance to survive!

Therefore, he immediately opened his mouth to try to delay the time. However, just as the words reached the tip of his tongue, a piece of coldness crept into his back. A sword has actually pierced through his chest.

It was as if the s.h.i.+eld that was provided to him by the priest didn’t exist at all!

Feeling that his life was rapidly slipping away from him, the magician tried as hard as he could to turn his head and saw a cherubic smile. Unbeknownst to him, an elegant and stunning girl had appeared behind him. Her right hand was slowly pulling back an ancient sword from the Nine Regions. The sword actually wasn’t stained by the blood in the slightest.

”Beware of your back.”
