With a sway, Zhang Ling entered the main hall. Although the stone hall had collapsed in half, some areas were still intact, and the space within was quite large, nearly a hundred zhang in size.
The intact area was a mess, with huge stone pillars lying on the ground. Many of the pillars were engraved with spiritual patterns, suggesting that this place was originally protected by formations and restrictions.
Some stone screens and black jade stone frames could also be seen, but they were all in a state of disrepair.
Releasing his divine sense to quickly scan the area, Zhang Ling found nothing of value. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, without a single footprint. Cold winds howled in from the cracks in the surrounding broken walls. It seemed that no one had been here for at least three or four hundred years.
However, above several collapsed stone pillars, a strange white light was shining. This white light was only about ten zhang long, slender at both ends and wide in the middle, like a half-opened eye, floating there silently without emitting any fluctuations.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even his divine sense might have overlooked this halo.
Zhang Ling became somewhat interested and began to examine the light trace. Suddenly, he flicked his left arm, and a cyan-gray vine wound out from his arm. It instantly extended for dozens of zhang, attacking the light trace with a sound of tearing through the air.
The vine swayed and passed through the light trace, which remained motionless. However, a section of the vine's front end was easily cut off, losing its vitality and falling to the ground.
"Space cracks are indeed sharp. Even if my mutated vine were stacked dozens of zhang thick, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to stop this cutting ability."
Zhang Ling chuckled self-deprecatingly. With a flick of his wrist, the extended vine retracted, coiling up the broken vine. The break in the vine was neat and smooth, enough to prove the danger of these space cracks.
The space crack in front of him was not a wandering crack, but a stable space crack. Such space cracks are easy to bypass.
Stable space cracks will continue to exist as long as the surrounding spatial forces are not chaotic. If these cracks were a few circles larger, they could be used as teleportation arrays.
It's just that no one knows where the space crack leads to.
It's possible that crossing it would take you millions of miles away, or that the other side would be chaotic space, and you would be torn to pieces in an instant.
Looking at this space crack, Zhang Ling recalled his encounter in the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm. Speaking of which, he had crossed a space crack there.
At that time, after being swallowed by the Black Tortoise, he was taken to a special space. After subduing the Black Tortoise, he returned from the seabed space crack to the fifth level of the Heavenly Abyss, and thus walked out of the Heavenly Abyss.
That space crack was many times larger than the gap in front of him. Even the Black Tortoise's main body could pass through it.
Previously, Jin Yu brought the Black Tortoise into the ancestral land of the demon race, and the independent space they entered and exited was also traversed back and forth by stable space cracks.
Only this kind of relatively stable space crack can be used by cultivators.
Finding nothing in the hall, Zhang Ling no longer lingered. He transformed into a遁光, slightly changed direction, and flew towards the Black Water Pool.
At the same time, the Black Tortoise also roughly judged its location.
The Black Tortoise was now floating in a dim environment, staring up at a thousand-zhang-high mountain peak, stunned.
This was a stone mountain with sparse vegetation, but the mountain had a huge crack running from top to bottom, piercing through the entire mountain and forming a strange gully with the ground below.
The stone walls on both sides of the mountain crack were extremely smooth, like mirrors. Standing on the edge of the mountain crack, one could feel gusts of cold wind blowing out from it, hitting the body like cold blades.
There was no mistake, this was the Heavenly Sword Peak. It was a regional landmark in the secret realm. Using this to determine its location was more accurate than the Scarlet Flame Hall on the main primordial spirit's side.
This Heavenly Sword Peak was said to have been split open by a sword cultivator with terrifying strength. The cold wind scraped out by the mountain peak still carried the shocking momentum of the sword cultivator splitting the mountain.
The Black Tortoise carefully sensed it and could indeed feel that the cold wind blowing on its body was somewhat unusual. After such a long time, it could still sense some special aura. It could be seen how powerful the ancient cultivator's supernatural powers were.
The Black Tortoise circled around the Heavenly Sword Peak and also changed direction, its body flashing with spiritual light, transforming into a blue-black遁光 and flying south.
Its speed was also not fast, and it was always paying attention to the changes around it. After all, it was now separated from Wan, and it did not have any treasures to sense space cracks in its hand.
Wan, Jin Yu, and the others were also identifying directions like them.
Tens of thousands of miles north of Heavenly Sword Peak, Jin Yu was in a towering dense forest environment, covered in several layers of heavy spiritual light, and was moving forward slowly.
Around his body, some white bright light traces would occasionally appear.
"It's really dangerous enough. I didn't expect Wan to teleport this king here. I was almost cut in two."
Jin Yu slowly flew while cursing Wan with an extremely gloomy expression.
Because the area he was in was full of space cracks. When he was teleported here before, he almost crashed into a space crack and died. At this moment, his mood was naturally extremely bad.
...
On the other side, roars of beasts continued. A white giant beast with a body size of a hundred zhang shook its body and quickly chased after a black light.
The giant beast looked like a white-haired giant cow, rushing straight forward like a hill, wherever it passed, the entire earth was shaking, and countless earth and rocks were cracking, setting off a cloud of smoke.
In the black light flying in front, there was a black-faced man with scales all over his face, who was the Dragon Crocodile. But this powerful demon king was fleeing for his life at the moment.
Moo!
A sharp scream came from behind, the sound shaking the world. Visible to the naked eye, it formed circles of strange sound waves, impacting over.
The Dragon Crocodile trembled all over when impacted by the sound waves, as if he had suffered some kind of damage. His face became extremely ugly. But he did not dare to delay in the slightest, and quickly moved his body, shifting a large distance to the side.
As soon as he left the spot, a dazzling white light flashed, and the speed of the white giant cow chasing closely suddenly increased several times, and the two black curved horns on its head pierced straight over. If he had been half a point slower, he would have been directly hit.
Missing the hit, the giant cow roared wildly, and its big mouth spewed out a cloud of yellow mist, turning into a yellow wind. The Dragon Crocodile had no time to dodge and was instantly swept into it.
"Do you really think I'm made of clay? Mad cow, since you're courting death, this king will fulfill you."
Black light flashed in the yellow mist, and the Dragon Crocodile emerged with a fierce expression. He no longer avoided it blindly, his whole body's aura soared, and he burst out with the strength of a ninth-order demon king.
