Chapter 337: This Is Different Than Originally Agreed! (2/2)

Filled with resentment, Paul led the team into the stone gate. Immediately, the landscape before them changed. A vast sea of clouds, pierced by a towering mountain, appeared before them.

This was the mountain that symbolized the Golden King's authority, the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak.

They stood on a floating island, surrounded by a boundless sea of clouds. Once they set foot outside the island, it meant that they have officially embarked on their journey to brave the dangers of the chaotic sea of clouds. And, according to Paul's memory, the best way to start was to take the first step in the crevice of a rock, and that rock… huh?

With a hint of surprise, Paul began to carefully observe their surrounding. However, a moment later, his mind was scared and he subconsciously stepped back a few steps. ”Where, where…”

”Where is this?”

Although he was familiar with that small floating island where they stood at, everything else was almost completely different, even the color of the ground. Moreover, after looking intently at it, the angle of the distant Beautiful Unique Pool Peak was completely different than that of from his memory, in other words...

”This is not the same starting point.”

”This, this…” Paul stared with eyes wide open, sweating like rain, and his dry lips continued to move yet he could not spit out another word.

”'This' what? This is impossible? An idiot is indeed an idiot!” Faceless One's words seemed so harsh at that moment. ”I always wondered, where did you get the confidence that everything would be exactly the same as the last time? Even animals as stupid as pigs and dogs also know that two trials can't have the same process. Even if we don't consider the vagaries of the chaotic sea of clouds, the last time we only have one group that took the trial, but now we have two groups! So the focus of the whole trial has already s.h.i.+fted. Yet, you think everything will be exactly the same as the last time!”

Listening to the mockery of Faceless One, Paul felt that blood welled up on his face, but he could not say a word.

”Faceless, continuing to mock Paul will not help our action either.” The Supreme Inquisitor Ferdinand interrupted Faceless One with a sinking voice. ”This time, we'll follow you. Do what you want to do.”

Paul exclaimed, ”Ferdinand, you…”

”That's enough, stupid! Stop embarra.s.sing yourself! I didn't come here to see you humiliate yourself! Quickly finish this pa.s.s and purify those desecrators!”

Faceless One laughed. ”Hahaha, no wonder those eastern continent people would often say, fresh flower needs green leaf to be contrasted with. Compared to that idiot Paul, you, this idiot, are indeed more pleasing to the eyes.”

With that, Faceless One took the lead as his body went into the clouds. However, without even taking two steps, his exclaim suddenly came out from the mist, ”You guys, quickly come here!”

Upon hearing Faceless One's call from the other side, the other people were surprised—what was the situation that made that arrogant, lawless guy exclaim? Did he meet with w.a.n.g Lu and his team? Unable to think through it, they immediately flew into the sea of clouds. However, as soon as their bodies were wrapped by the clouds, they all felt their whole body sank, and the flood of strong holy light inside them dried up, as if it was suppressed by an unknown force; they lost more than 90 percent of their original strength!

”This, this is…” Not just Paul and Ferdinand, even the five Archbishops who were strictly trained personally by the pope were terrified, because most of the strength that they depended upon have inexplicably vanished.

”Faceless, what's going on?” Ferdinand's voice sounded a bit weak. At this time, this legendary level Holy One has his power weakened to that of intermediate high order profession. Moreover, even after he exhausted all his means, he couldn't recover it. He had experienced many storms, but this was the first time this strange situation happened to him!

Faceless One laughed, spread his arms, and said, ”Paul should've explained to you about this before. In this chaotic sea of clouds, there would often exist a unique law of repression. Once entered, the maximum strength that can be retained is that of intermediate high order profession.”

”F*cking sh*thole!” Ferdinand cursed, and then his sharp eyes pierced Faceless One. ”You knew this would happen!”

Faceless One said, ”I only knew it once I took the first step into the sea of clouds, otherwise, why else would I yell to hurry you up? If you had not been deceived by surprise, once you knew the situation here, you guys would've hesitated outside, and we don't have so much time to waste.”

”What did you say?”

”I mean, if we don't move faster, we won't have a chance… the chaotic principle of this sea of clouds seems to be tailored for him.” Although Faceless One was elaborating an urgent fact, his expression was calm. However, halfway through, he suddenly turned his head. ”Oh, the nail that I buried in that girl should've been found by now.”
