Thousands of feet in circumference, all were shrouded by falling starlight.
Each ray of starlight carried terrifying power, like meteors falling, destroying everything. The earth was devastated, and countless lives were reaped, utterly unable to resist.
Shui Han Yi sneered, his heart filled with the pleasure of venting. "Excellent! I want to see how many more can escape! The Starfall Array utilizes the power of the stars. Even someone with Shang Xie Zhuo's cultivation cannot resist it. The people from the Longevity Hall, the Six Desires Sect, and Penglai Island are all doomed this time!"
"Sect Master Shui, isn't my plan excellent?"
Molo Jia, standing beside him, felt a surge of satisfaction. He chuckled, "As long as we set up the arrangements in advance, they will step into it one by one. Forget about becoming gods; in the end, they will all die here. The Great Chasm of Life and Death, do they think anyone can enter and exit as they please? How naive!"
The starlight fell like a torrential rain, destroying everything.
The two watched as mountain after mountain was flattened, and dazzling lights erupted everywhere, as if it were the end of the world. Neither Shui Han Yi nor Molo Jia paid any mind, only savoring the fruits of victory.
After an unknown amount of time, the starlight finally began to subside. The towering peaks had completely vanished, leveled to the ground.
What terrifying power!
"Indeed, it seems they won't survive. Let's go, we'll find Bai Yan Shu now and see if he can dodge this time."
"This sect also wants to see how the Sect Master of Qing Xu Tian, who has been imprisoned in the Great Chasm of Life and Death for many years, is doing now. Hahaha... I'm afraid he's as pathetic as a drowned rat! Becoming a god is just a pipe dream!" Shui Han Yi laughed heartily, a sinister glint in his eyes.
He finally had the chance to kill Bai Yan Shu.
After the two, along with their subordinates, departed, the dark wilderness fell into a deathly silence.
A while later, a few figures emerged.
Li Tian Jue, looking at the pitch-black surroundings, said gravely, "It really is them causing trouble. Shui Han Yi and Molo Jia set up the Starfall Array, using the power of starlight to try and kill all the factions that entered the Great Chasm of Life and Death. Their methods are truly vicious."
Su Luo hooked his lips and said, "Since they can be safe and sound in the Great Chasm of Life and Death, they naturally have their means. If we follow them, we are sure to find Master."
The others also came out, still lingering with fear.
The starlight just now was too terrifying. If they hadn't escaped quickly, they would have likely died in the Starfall Array.
But even Shang Xie Zhuo couldn't figure out why his luck was so good. Just as a ray of starlight was about to hit him, it suddenly paused for a moment, and then he dodged it.
"It won't be easy to track them. Young Master Li, do you have any way to prevent them from discovering us?" he asked.
As soon as the words fell, Duan Jing Hong spoke first, "This old man can!"
Recalling the events just now, he was so enraged he wanted to spit blood.
He hadn't expected Shui Han Yi to be so wicked as to collude with the demonic sects and set up such a Starfall Array, killing more than half of his sect members. Although the Great Chasm of Life and Death was dangerous, if no one had deliberately caused trouble, Penglai Island wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
He was determined to get revenge!
As he spoke, Duan Jing Hong took out a small box and opened it. Inside were two small black worms.
Madam Yao Guang's eyes flashed, "Spirit Rhinoceros Worms?"
Wen Dai Er asked curiously, "Mother, what are Spirit Rhinoceros Worms?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Duan Jing Hong glanced at Madam Yao Guang and said with a hint of pride, "Madam certainly has discerning eyes to know these are Spirit Rhinoceros Worms. I obtained them by chance. Spirit Rhinoceros Worms have extremely sensitive senses of smell. The male and female pair can sense each other's location regardless of the distance, making them the best for tracking."
Shang Xie Zhuo stroked his long beard and nodded in praise, "Sect Master Duan truly has excellent methods. With these Spirit Rhinoceros Worms, we can track Shui Han Yi from a distance without being discovered."
In front of everyone, Duan Jing Hong extended his little fingernail and nudged the male worm. It flew up, circled in the air, and then headed straight forward.
"This is how we can track Shui Han Yi?" Chu Tian Shu asked, somewhat confused.
How did these worms distinguish scents, and how did they know who their master wanted to track? It was truly magical.
"Second Senior Brother, since Sect Master Duan is confident, we just need to follow," Su Luo said lightly. It was convenient that they didn't have to exert effort to search, and they could just follow leisurely.
Soon, Duan Jing Hong led the team at the front, checking the movements of the female worm in the box and constantly changing direction.
Everyone followed closely behind, moving at high speed.
The entire night, no one rested. It seemed that Shui Han Yi and Molo Jia ahead were also constantly on the move.
As dawn gradually broke, the procession did not stop.
The terrain along the way became increasingly treacherous. Towering pillars resembling stone prisms could be seen everywhere, soaring into the clouds. Some were as thick as a person's embrace, while others were like small hills, appearing in various peculiar shapes and forms.
Even the seemingly calm ground could erupt with flames if one was not careful.
For the first time, a disciple of the Longevity Hall was unaware and stepped on a spot where flames erupted from beneath his feet. Caught off guard, he was immediately engulfed in flames. Fortunately, a companion was nearby, and with timely rescue, he was saved from death.
Everyone had never encountered such an environment and became increasingly cautious, yet many were still burned by the flames.
In the environment filled with fiery geysers, there also grew rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Bundles of crimson flowers grew near the fiery geysers. Originally, there was nothing on the ground, but once the flames erupted, they would grow and bloom rapidly, with phantom flames appearing around their petals.
These were precious Fire Spirit Flowers, the main ingredient for refining Fire Spirit Pills. Each one sold for tens of thousands of spirit coins on the market.
Here, they bloomed in abundance, no less than a thousand flowers. However, the group only managed to pick a few, as they were pressed for time and had to continue their journey forward.
...
For a full ten days, Shui Han Yi finally stopped.
"What is it?"
Molo Jia, standing beside him, looked at Shui Han Yi and sensed something was amiss. "Your complexion seems a bit off. Have you been using the Heavenly Mechanism Astrolabe too much? Do you need to rest?"
Shui Han Yi indeed felt unwell. The rate at which his spiritual energy was being consumed seemed to be three times faster than usual.
The closer they got to their destination, the stronger this feeling became.
Even after taking a spirit recovery pill, his recovery speed was much slower than usual, as if the medicinal properties were not being absorbed. This led Shui Han Yi to suspect if there was something wrong with his body.
However, Shui Han Yi did not want Molo Jia to know and pretended to be fine, saying, "It's nothing, just a bit tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Just then, the sky in the distance began to darken.
It was as if a mass of dark clouds was gathering in the firmament, constantly rotating to form a vortex. With rumbling sounds, streaks of lightning descended, their silver brilliance dazzling, causing both of them to their eyes sharpen.
"That direction..."
Molo Jia stared intently ahead. "Isn't that where Bai Yan Shu was trapped four years ago?"
