Chapter 69

With a clear understanding of the spiritual energy, Bai Shi felt at ease as he sensed the aura of the golden sword array. As two hours passed, due to the purity of his soul, he managed to set up the golden sword array in just a short time. Although it was not yet perfect, it was not an exaggeration to say that he had made some progress.

However, with Bai Shi's current cultivation, the sword array he set up could at most trap a Soul Mystic Realm practitioner. After the Spirit Mystic Realm, there was the Soul Mystic Realm, which was different from the previous cultivation levels. At this stage, it was divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. If he encountered a high-level Soul Mystic Realm cultivator, it would be quite difficult for Bai Shi's sword array to control them.

Not long after, Bai Shi put away the Dragon Chanting Sword in his hand, then took a long breath, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then looked at the golden sword array that still existed.

The golden sword array remained as it was, but Bai Shi already knew how to break it. He slowly walked into the sword array, following the steps of the "Dragon Transformation Sword." As he moved, the golden sword array trembled violently with each step he took. However, Bai Shi did not stop. In the midst of the trembling, he continued to step forward, and at this moment, he could clearly see that some of the swords formed by the golden lines began to slowly dissipate.

"Clang..." "Clang..." "Clang..."

With each step Bai Shi took, his feet made a crisp sound as if hitting metal, causing the entire sword array to tremble even more. When Bai Shi took the final step, the swords in the array suddenly transformed into threads of golden light, which gathered above the array, forming a large golden light sphere.

The light sphere rotated above, and then a loud explosion echoed. In the sound of the explosion, Bai Shi's mind was filled with a booming noise. Amidst the booming, he saw countless stars formed by the light sphere slowly dissipate into nothingness. Even the seemingly living Bagua pattern was no exception!

As the pattern dissipated, a strong tremor immediately spread from where the sword array disappeared. After the tremor, what appeared before Bai Shi's eyes was a black mist-like existence.

In the black mist, two huge characters seemed to be carved... "Boundary Gate"!

Bai Shi suddenly stopped, staring at the black mist-like existence. His body involuntarily shivered, and he took two steps back, drawing a deep breath.

"Boundary Gate... Could it be, could it really be another boundary gate as recorded on that stone wall?" Bai Shi muttered. He did not want to rashly step into this boundary gate, knowing the terror of falling into the Abyss of Devouring. If this boundary gate was another existence like the Abyss of Devouring, Bai Shi might not be as lucky as before.

So, he picked up a stone, focused his gaze on the "Boundary Gate" characters, and threw the stone in.

As the stone was thrown in, it immediately disappeared as if it had fallen into water.

"Since the 'Dragon Transformation Sword' recorded on the stone wall is real, and the method to break the array is real... then this boundary gate should also be real. But at this moment, I cannot rashly step into it to see the outside world."

Frowning slightly, Bai Shi cast his gaze outside the cave. With a divine sense, he subconsciously scanned the area and detected the location of the Abyss of Devouring. However, the strong wind blades inside the Abyss of Devouring had already disappeared.

"Based on the time... I fell into the Abyss of Devouring and landed after about ten days. During these days, the white fox's body and the suction force of the Abyss of Devouring strongly resisted each other, making the descent extremely slow... If I fly out of the Abyss of Devouring now, it should not take much time."

After pondering, Bai Shi put the Wasteland Cauldron into his storage bag, picked up the white fox, took a deep breath, and, with his divine sense, stepped out into the snow and wind.

At this moment, above the Dawn Mountain Range, several people were flying in the sky. Perhaps due to the snow and wind, or because of their strength, their flying speed was not very fast.

"According to this speed... we should reach Dongchen Village in about two hours," a large man flying at the front said.

Beside him was a fat man, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, with a cap almost completely covering his face. However, his deep, expectant eyes could still be seen. In this expectation, he looked up at the distance, as if searching for something in the misty Dawn Mountain Range.

This person was Su Xuan. Accompanying him were the Demon Blade Sect's Xiao Yishen and several dozen warriors.

Xiao Yishen stood beside Su Xuan, frowning slightly, as if worried about something. On the surface, he was looking ahead, but in silence, he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings. This was not just due to the inexplicable unease he felt when leaving Xusi City, but also because he sensed that the Northern Stick Village had been too quiet recently, a silence that was extremely strange.

In response to the large man's words, his body trembled slightly, and he said softly, "Then... let's speed up!"

The large man nodded, as if he alone could find the route to Dongchen Village in the sky. Hearing Xiao Yishen's order, his figure suddenly paused, and his speed increased, rushing towards Dongchen Village.

At this moment, Xiao Yishen's frown deepened, and his head suddenly tilted to the side, as if avoiding something.

As Xiao Yishen's head tilted to the side, a snowflake, like a hidden weapon, shot through the air with great force, whistling past his ear!

Immediately, a powerful pressure rushed towards them, causing the large men to pause, their eyes filled with shock.

"Ha ha... Xiao Yishen, I have been waiting for you to leave Xusi City for some time!"

With the arrival of this pressure, a laugh suddenly echoed behind Xiao Yishen and the others. Although the laugh was calm, it contained a hint of mockery and... a chilling killing intent!

Xiao Yishen's body suddenly turned in mid-air. In an instant, he grabbed a large, gleaming sword from his waist, which appeared in his hand.

As the large sword appeared, a powerful force erupted from Xiao Yishen's body. This force, like his cultivation, burst forth, creating a crack in the air as it collided with the pressure.

"Bang!"

With the collision of the two forces, a loud boom echoed through the sky, causing the air to tremble violently. In the trembling, the snowflakes turned to powder and scattered.

Xiao Yishen's expression changed abruptly. As he tightened his grip on the sword, he looked towards the source of the pressure. Immediately, he saw a familiar figure, which was none other than Emperor Qi!
