Chapter 363: Fall

Standing atop another extremely high mountain peak, Pei Qiqi looked down towards the central valley. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Nie Tian just went down!”

She had been observing and trying to derive enlightenment from the spatial rift and the grand spell formation, so she rapidly noticed that Huang Fan had taken Nie Tian and plunged towards the central valley.

With a calm tone, Hua Mu said, “He wants to prompt Huang Fan to probe into the Demon hiding within that spatial rift.”

Pei Qiqi seemed to have realized something and thus asked, “Did you somehow inform him about that Demon?”

Hua Mu nodded and said, “My identity is a bit tricky. It’s better that I stay out of this. Of all the experts, Huang Fan and Chang Sen are the only ones who are capable of teaching that Demon a lesson and stopping it from issuing commands in the dark.

“Even though the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s grand spell formation is preventing Demons from entering the Realm of Flame Heaven, it has no effect on humans.

“If Huang Fan has the audacity to seek that Demon out in the spatial rift and fight it, it might solve the problem at the source.”

With a shocked expression on her face, Pei Qiqi asked, “Do you mean that Demons won’t be able to enter the Realm of Flame Heaven, but we will be able to enter that spatial rift?”

“Exactly, but not only that, even if the spatial rift is fully sealed by the grand spell formation left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the sealing will only be one-way,”Hua Mu explained in a slow and calm fashion. “The spell formation won’t allow Demons to set foot in the Realm of Flame Heaven. But human Qi warriors won’t be bound by it at all, so we’ll be able to enter that spatial rift, or even follow it into the Demons’ realms.

“That’s why the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace only sealed that spatial rift, but didn’t destroy it, and also what’s truly fascinating about this grand spell formation.

“It will allow us to go into the Demons’ realms, but it won’t allow Demons to set foot in the Domain of the Falling Stars.”

After a moment of silent pondering, Pei Qiqi seemed enlightened and thus said, “The reason why the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace made such arrangements was that they hoped, one day, human Qi warriors in the Domain of the Falling Stars would be powerful and courageous enough to go on punitive expeditions to the Demons’ realms. They did it to leave us a tunnel, through which our armies would be able to march into the Demons’ realms, right?”

“That’s right!” Hua Mu confirmed strongly. Then, his tone weakened as he said with a sigh, “However, until this day, powerful experts from the major sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars haven’t accumulated enough strength and courage to march into those three spatial rifts and wage war on Demons’ realms. On the contrary, it has always been Demons or other outsider races that repeatedly attempted to swarm into the Domain of the Falling Stars.”

“Will Huang Fan have the courage to enter and explore that spatial rift?” Pei Qiqi asked.

“I don’t know,” Hua Mu said, his eyes glittering with a concerned light.

At that moment, Nie Tian and Huang Fan were already standing by the edge of the huge, unfathomable black hole.

The black hole looked like the opened mouth of an enormous, man-eating Demon that kept unleashing blackish-violet demon Qi.

Covering the black hole was a network of rivers of starlight, which flowed continuously and formed numerous detailed and exquisite patterns.

An ancient, remote aura suddenly blew out of the black hole into Nie Tian’s face, which, to his surprise, made him feel secure.

ROOOAARRRR!!

Another heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar rang out. It seemed to have come from all directions, and it was so powerful that Nie Tian’s eardrums hurt.

Huang Fan’s eyes lit up as he saw strong turbulences spread out on the network of countless rivers of starlight when the fierce roar echoed out.

Even standing by the edge of the spatial rift, he still couldn’t be sure that the demonsound was coming from within the spatial rift.

However, one thing he could be sure of: the impact he experience standing here was much stronger than when he had stood atop the mountain peak.

Therefore, he assumed that Nie Tian was right, that what he had thought to be a formidable mutant spirit beast was actually a Demon that was hiding inside the spatial rift.

With a complicated expression on his face, he looked down at the mysterious, bottomless spatial rift and frowned in hesitation.
