Chapter 224
"Everyone, wait for my return!" He shouted loudly, not daring to delay as the rift would rapidly close, his figure dashed into the spatial rift and vanished without a trace.
Having lost the person controlling the formation, the sky-filling spiritual light vanished.
The torn spatial rift was quickly repaired by the world, if it weren’t for the spirit stone grand formation stretching for several kilometers, the still-shocked Dael and the others might have felt as if nothing had ever happened.
...
Within the chaotic space.
Adam enveloped himself in spiritual energy, although it didn’t have much practical use against the void, it at least provided a psychological sense of security.
Adam looked at his surroundings, not knowing how to describe them, chaos, mirrors, folds, nothingness.
It gave off a feeling of absolute emptiness and extreme disorientation, he didn’t dare look too deeply into it, afraid of getting lost here.
He quickly took out the token and resolved the guiding force.
A faint, glowing thread appeared on the token, continuously extending in one direction, Adam’s eyes lit up, knowing this was the route back to the Mysterious Yellow Great World, he began to fly along the thread.
In this space, time seemed to have lost its meaning, Adam didn’t know how long he had been flying, that destination felt very far, yet very close, the surrounding space seemed immutable, exactly as it had been since ancient times.
Suddenly, his pupils violently contracted, without him knowing when, a corpse had appeared directly in front of him, a female corpse.
She wore a gorgeous white gauze dress, her body graceful and slender.
As for why he was certain it was a corpse, it was because there was no face on its head, just a hollow void.
With its long black hair hanging down, Adam felt it reminded him of a certain creepy old acquaintance.
Damn it! Adam cursed and prepared to fly around it, but suddenly, the female corpse turned its body, and its deathly pale hand hooked right onto his clothes.
The South Heaven Gate Token in his hand nearly slipped from his grasp in pure fright, pulling a stunt like this in such a bizarre, eerie space would genuinely scare someone to death.
His mouth twitching, he reached out to remove the woman’s hand, he figured she had gotten lost in the chaotic space and died here.
But before he could even pity her, he horrifyingly discovered that he couldn’t budge her hand at all, it was like solid steel, hooked tightly onto his clothes, Adam was terrified.
If you won’t let go, I’ll just cut my own clothes!
With a swipe of his finger, the corner of the clothes was cleanly sliced off, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the female corpse twisted its body again, and its fingers hooked right back onto his clothes.
Adam’s eyes widened massively, are you kidding me? That works too? Are you actually dead or not?
Just as he prepared to continue cutting away his clothes, a bright white light suddenly appeared in the space ahead, Adam raised an eyebrow, perfect timing!
Adam and the female corpse burst through the white hole.
He immediately felt the familiar spiritual energy, it was the Mysterious Yellow Great World, he was back!
But before he could even get a clear look at his surroundings, a heaven-shaking strike of demonic energy slashed right toward him, reacting on pure instinct, Adam swung his sword to block it.
A sonic boom erupted, Adam and the female corpse were blasted backward, Adam steadied himself mid-air, but the female corpse rolled across the ground several times, tumbling into a thicket of bushes.
Demons?! Adam’s face was full of utter astonishment.
What is going on? I was fighting Demons when I left, how come I have to fight Demons the moment I return? Where exactly am I?
"Little Friend Adam?! How come you are here?" The scruffy Daoist suddenly flew over to his side, his face filled with shock.
"Old sir, I was tearing through the void to travel, and I just happened to pop out here!" Adam lied smoothly.
"You came at the perfect time! Help me slaughter these Demon beasts!" The scruffy Daoist was covered in blood, his eyes glinting with absolute madness.
Only then did Adam finally get a clear look at his surroundings.
They were surrounded by roughly seven or eight Demons, every one of them radiating overwhelming demonic energy, Adam estimated the weakest among them was at least at the Fourth Heaven of the Deity Realm.
And this scruffy old Daoist was fighting this many Demons all by himself? Sure enough, his strength was truly not to be underestimated.
Seeing a person suddenly appear, the Demons didn’t immediately attack.
The sword in Adam’s hand gave them an intense feeling of threat, this had nothing to do with absolute strength, it was an innate suppression of auras, as if that sword was forged for the sole purpose of slaying demons and vanquishing evil.
"Old sir, where is this?" Adam held his sword up, fully on guard.
"This is the border of the Vast Azure Region!" the scruffy old Daoist replied, panting heavily.
"What?!" Adam was shocked, he had only been gone for less than two weeks, had the Demon Race already conquered the Eastern Continent?
"What’s the deal with these Demons?"
"This is a small Demon squad that sneaked in, and I just happened to run into them!" the scruffy Daoist explained.
Adam breathed a sigh of relief, the situation wasn’t as dire as he had imagined.
"You two, our infiltration into the Vast Azure Region is solely to find a specific person, we have no intention of taking lives, how about we go our separate ways?" one of the Demons suddenly spoke up.
Dealing with just the scruffy Daoist alone was already incredibly difficult for them, and now another one had appeared, they had a mission to complete and could not afford to waste any more time.
"You are Demons! Why should I believe your nonsense? And if you’re looking for someone, why should I let you look?!" the scruffy Daoist sneered, are these guys dreaming?
The Human Race and the Demon Race were inherently incompatible, like fire and water, no matter what the other side said, he would never let these Demons leave.
