Chapter 1190: A Surprise (1/2)
SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!
As rays of glorious light shot out of the altar, blinding light enveloped Nie Tian and the others.
Nie Tian’s bloodline was triggered. Intense flesh power burst forth, filling his surroundings.
“Wait!” Zhao Shanling exclaimed.
At the same time, he summoned the Voidspirit Pagoda. Like fierce fish, countless spatial blades flew out of the pagoda, as if to help him defend against some restrictive spell.
Dong Li also frowned, light-devouring darkness instantly filling the depths of her eyes.
“A restrictive force is stopping us from using this altar!” Taken aback, Fang Hui hastily cast a fire magic. As he did, numerous earthflame crystal strings flew out of him and wove into a fiery spell formation in front of him like human meridians.
BOOM!
The fiery spell formation was broken, and Fang Hui was thrown out of the prismatic altar.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Streams of fierce flames and frigid frost shot out of the twelve surrounding stone columns, fusing into the prismatic altar.
Fang Hui was stopped from entering again.
Blinding light eventually engulfed the entire altar.
“Such a strange force.” Zhao Shanling smiled coldly as the Voidspirit Pagoda spun unceasingly over his head, sending even more glowing spatial blades down into the prismatic altar they were standing on.
The black tortoise, which had slumbered in Dong Li’s ring of holding for quite some time, slowly crawled out in its shrunken form.
The black tortoise’s dark bloodline was also automatically triggered.
Its bloodline seemed to interact with the dark stone inside of Dong Li, and released a mysterious pitch-black ward that enveloped her.
All of a sudden, a strong gravitational force was born, causing Nie Tian, Dong Li, and Zhao Shanling to shudder.
In the next moment, the three of them disappeared from Fang Hui’s sight, who was excluded from the altar.
...
In an unknown heaven and earth.
A heavy rain was pouring down. However, instead of being clear, the rain was murky like sewage.
Lightning bolts ripped through the grayish heavens over their heads, giving rise to deafening rolls of thunder. Everyone felt a mild pain in their ears.
An ancient altar made of the bones of some unknown beasts sat alone in the middle of a boundless open land, which was now being deluged by the madly-pouring rain.
Nie Tian strained his sight, and saw a number of crude but unusually enormous palaces in the distance.
All of them looked similar to the underground palace in the Green Illusion Dimension, where they had just come from.
The only difference was that most of the palaces here had toppled. Many huge rocks in the ruins had complicated patterns engraved on them.
Among the patterns there were titans, dragons, Ancientbeasts, and all kinds of odd-looking plants and creatures from the Desolate Antiquity Era.
Dong Li came out of her bewilderment and asked, her charming face filled with amazement, “Where is this place? Are we still in the human world? I had a feeling that I was rejected by the spell formation when it started. If it weren’t for this little one...”
She looked down at the black tortoise. “If its flesh aura didn’t work its magic, I doubt I’d have been able to pass through.”
Zhao Shanling nodded. “I felt a strong restrictive force as well. But luckily, I practice spatial power, and my Voidspirit Pagoda has its unique wonders. Most importantly, I sent a wisp of my soul awareness here before the actual teleportation. All of this played a part in my successful entrance.
“As for where we are, I can’t tell whether we’re in a human heaven and earth or not either.”
Nie Tian seemed rather calm as he joined the conversation. “I didn’t feel any restrictions.”
