The two looked over in unison.
They saw a massive mushroom cloud, fiery red, rising from the westernmost part of the mountain range.
It seemed like some kind of restriction had been triggered, causing a violent explosion.
Immediately after,
a group of black-robed martial artists frantically ascended into the sky, fleeing in all directions.
Strangely enough,
a line of blood shot into the air, piercing through those black-robed warriors like skewering gourds and hauling them back.
Jiang Fan watched with grave concern:
"Those martial artists are disciples of the Great Yin Sect, right?"
"What kind of evil did they encounter?"
"Dozens of them, and not a single one escaped?"
This time the Great Yin Sect brought in quite a few Nascent Soul Experts.
And still, they couldn’t escape!
Yue Mingzhu looked over, her expression even heavier.
In her perspective, the aura there was just as ominously black as the female corpse unearthed by the Divine Movement Sect before.
No, even more ominous than the female corpse.
Fortunately, they were far enough away not to be affected.
"Let’s get out of here quickly!" Yue Mingzhu urged in a firm voice.
Jiang Fan nodded.
A deadly place capable of wiping out a Divine Sect was certainly no place for him.
"Time’s almost up; let’s leave the battlefield now."
He took Yue Mingzhu’s hand and used Cloud Shadow to head away from the battlefield.
This exploration, though not yielding the desired items,
did bring substantial gains.
Time to go!
Whoosh!
With a single Cloud Shadow, they traversed dozens of miles.
Leaving the battlefield, spanning a thousand miles, took merely a moment.
However, after performing Cloud Shadow a dozen times, Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
Yue Mingzhu noticed too, gazing perplexedly at the mountain range on the horizon, she said:
"Why do I feel like we’re just treading in place?"
Jiang Fan came to an abrupt halt.
He turned and glanced back, the lingering mushroom cloud faintly visible.
This was enough to explain.
Except for the first Cloud Shadow, they hadn’t moved at all since then.
What was this?
An Illusion Technique?
No, it wasn’t an Illusion Technique.
The Thunder Power in his Heavenly Abyss Heart had decreased significantly, indicating he really had used Cloud Shadow.
It was just that they hadn’t budged due to some reason.
"Hehe, why’d you stop moving?"
Just then, the space in front of them rippled.
The Giant King, thirty feet tall and coated in a pale gold hue, appeared out of nowhere before them.
A black Origin Star on his forehead slowly emitted spatial waves.
Jiang Fan knew this one too well.
The Space Giant King!
The difference was that this Space Giant King was decaying, its body incomplete.
Obviously, a Giant King left over from a thousand years ago.
And on his shoulder stood a woman in palace attire, arms crossed, sneering at Jiang Fan.
Seeing this woman, Jiang Fan knew instantly who it was.
