The four of them sped through the starry sky. Suddenly, after a beam of light ahead, they all fell.
"This… did we come to the wrong place? We've entered the core area. It should be the most desolate and barren, but look around. Where are the traces of seals and fierce battles?"
Half an hour later, Dian Wei said, looking around.
As Dian Wei spoke, everyone's expressions became solemn. They had chosen one of two passages. Looking at the scene before them, even Xia Xinyu was beginning to doubt.
Looking up, they saw towering black mountains, rich in spiritual energy, shrouded in mist, with five-colored auspicious clouds occasionally flowing.
"Let's walk further in and see!"
Xia Xinyu shook her head. They had come this far; going back was not realistic. They could only steel themselves and head inward.
"Rumble!!"
Half an hour later, a blood-red river cascaded down from a ten-thousand-zhang peak. Spiritual energy surged, and blood qi soared. A profound pressure made everyone uncomfortable.
"This blood river is formed by the divine blood of a colossal being that perished here, manifesting after ten thousand years. We shouldn't have come to the wrong place."
Xia Xinyu extended her finger and tapped the void, sensing the flow of the blood river. She said, "Let's go further. This is still the outer area; there's no important information here!"
The four of them scanned their surroundings, bypassing the rushing blood river. The divine blood, after such a long time, had not decayed but had manifested as a ten-thousand-zhang blood river flowing here. This showed how powerful the fallen being was.
The four crossed the ten-thousand-zhang blood river. After about a hundred miles, the mountains disappeared, the land cracked, and no vegetation grew. Moving further, patches of yellow sand began to appear, and the temperature gradually rose.
"I've been here before. It was in this very spot that I was injured in my primordial spirit by a mirror."
As they walked, Xia Xinyu suddenly spoke. Dian Wei and the other two were stunned and dared not approach. In her previous life, Xia Xinyu was a powerful expert at the Supreme Profound Venerate realm. If a mere mirror could injure her, it could likely turn them into nothingness.
"At that time, I was only focused on finding what the Immortal Lord and the Void Demons were fighting over. I reached this place without taking the time to investigate and saw a divine light directly enter my forehead. Back then, I arrived here only tens of thousands of years after the battle of Changsheng City. Countless experts had perished here, so being injured was nothing to be surprised about!"
Half an hour later, the four had only advanced about twenty miles. They moved slowly, especially Xia Xinyu, who had been severely injured here in her past life. Cautious, they did not rush but advanced step by step.
"Look over there!"
Yang Youji exclaimed, pointing in a direction where faint auspicious clouds and flowing divine lights were visible.
The four walked for dozens of breaths and discovered a white skeleton. It was likely polished smooth by the yellow sand. The skeleton sat cross-legged, with a long saber lodged in its neck, piercing deep into its heart.
"Judging by its posture, it should be a fallen powerful expert, a giant. However, its divine consciousness has long dissipated, and its divine blood has withered away. It's just an ordinary skeleton; where did the auspicious light come from?"
"Look ahead and to the west. There's a beam of light there. It should be shining from that direction. Let's go and see!"
The four passed the white skeleton and walked about a thousand feet further.
"Don't move!"
"I've been to this place!"
Xia Xinyu suddenly spoke, her face pale, and her expression cautious as she looked ahead. "In my previous life, it was not far ahead that I suffered a serious injury from a mirror. Everyone be careful. Even after an era, its energy will not have weakened significantly!"
"Everyone be careful!"
Long Ju said in a deep voice. The four immediately manifested their blades and slowly advanced forward. Gradually, they saw a severely damaged bronze mirror.
"Huh, look, is that a mirror? But it's too badly damaged. The mirror surface is cracked!"
Yang Youji suddenly said.
"It should be it. It was a divine light shot from that mirror back then. But after so many years, it's too severely damaged!"
"It should not have experienced such severe friction if it was sealed here. It's likely that after I left, other beings passed through this place."
Xia Xinyu glanced at the mirror and knew that its divine essence had long since been depleted, posing no threat to them. She then put away her blade and walked towards the bronze mirror.
Dian Wei and the others followed, arriving in front of the mirror. They saw the mirror held by a blood-red hand. The hand, made of some unknown material, was now covered in cracks and had lost its divine essence.
"Clang!"
Dian Wei stepped forward and grabbed the bronze mirror. The mirror surface was severely damaged, but a faint divine light still flowed. Dian Wei turned the mirror over and saw that on its back, a creature with spread wings was engraved. Due to the severe damage, it was impossible to discern what the creature looked like.
"Clang!"
Dian Wei struck the mirror surface forcefully. A metallic sound echoed. The worn mirror surface suddenly emitted several beams of divine light, mostly blood-red, filled with killing intent!
Streams of black gas shot out from the mirror surface, rushing out like the forms of thousands of heads. As these black gases emerged, a divine power that did not belong to this world directly descended upon the shoulders of the four of them.
That blood qi was quite powerful!
"It's the aura of the Void Demons. This mirror should belong to a powerful being among the Void Demons!"
Xia Xinyu looked at the scene before her. In the past, she had fought alongside the Phoenix clan against the Void Demons, and she was very familiar with them.
Back then, it was these Void Demons and the Immortal Lord who were fighting over something in the Three Thousand Planes, even to the point of destroying entire planes. Even though the Immortal Lord led many forces to destroy the Void Demons, the mysterious fall of the Cheng Tian Zhi Mu and the suppression of the Candle Dragon, these inexplicable events all pointed the finger at the Immortal Lord.
"Back then, they were just a step away from defeating the Immortal Lord and unifying the Three Thousand Dao Provinces!"
The mirror continuously spewed black gas. After half an hour, the black gas and blood fiendish energy disappeared, but it began to tremble eerily. Su Dan Novel Network
"Get back?!"
Dian Wei roared and threw the mirror into the distance. The four of them retreated almost instantly. They watched as the bronze mirror, which had fallen onto the yellow sand, now oozed streams of blood. It was like a blood well, with no sign of drying up, continuously gushing out fresh, scarlet blood, as if it had just been released from a living creature's body.
