Chapter 791: Disappear Quietly
If a warrior doesn’t go out and enjoy the subtle mysteries of the Extreme Purgatory Field to understand natural powers better every day, even if he has a bad innate endowment, accumulating for years can help with their understanding of powers and realms.
This forbidden land was a magical area that could help warriors progress their realm. Staying in this area, a man’s perception of realms and powers becomes clearer and stronger.
Such an enticement was big enough. Shi Yan was touched. His mind was in a flutter.
However, while he was still dismayed, Jiang Ge’s Fantasy Upanishad suddenly appeared!
Jiang Ge had been waiting for this chance for a long time. Seeing Shi Yan’s confused eyes, he seized the moment and attacked.
He activated the Thousand Fantasy Domain. Jiang Ge looked at him. Magical light shot out from his eyes.
A gleam of confusion crossed Shi Yan’s face. He couldn’t differentiate illusions from reality. Jiang Ge’s figures multiplied in his vision. Layers of water-like barriers suddenly disappeared.
A beautiful figured appeared in his retinae. It’s Xia Xin Yan. More people appeared unceasingly...
Shi Jian, Yang Tian Emperor, Yang Mu, Yi Tian Mo,... They all came, smiling as if they wanted to tell him something...
Shi Yan was baffled. He felt betrayed. His God Soul was tempted. He didn’t realize that he was walking towards that group of people.
Crack!
His body immediately bumped into those layers of water ripples. He seemed to be bound and couldn’t even wriggle. Shi Yan’s face changed dramatically.
At this moment, Shi Yan found that he was standing next to a towering pillar under the palace. Layers of barriers tied him. His God Soul was restrained. Chaotic energies gathered. The magical barriers revived and started to affect him.
Jiang Ge suddenly smiled. "Shi Yan, you’re still a tender sprout. I’m too familiar with this place. Should I be so kind to bring you here?"
Bound with so many layers, Shi Yan was enraged but he had no solution. The barriers were subtle and magical that acted like countless ropes tightening around his body. He couldn’t wiggle out of them.
He kept thinking of ways to escape as Shi Yan contacted the Sky-breaking Shuttle. "How can I get rid of it?"
"Your power is insufficient."
"What?"
"The barriers in this place are all strong and marvelous. Even if I take all of your energy, I can’t break them. Unless you know the method or reached the Peak of King God Realm, you won’t be able to do it. I don’t know the realm of the person who built the barriers, but the wonderful features of this place are beyond my imagination. My Maker was just a Sacred Grade blacksmith. His Realm wasn’t enough to make me a higher grade treasure, so..."
Shi Yan grimaced.
This is the first time the Sky-breaking Shuttle failed him completely.
He thought there was no barrier that the Sky-breaking Shuttle couldn’t break in this world. But today, he found that he was wrong. He had underestimated the might of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation’s Imperial Master.
"You shouldn’t be outraged. In fact, I don’t have any bad intentions. If you can break the mysteries of the barriers while you are in here, not only can you can escape but you will be able to get in the palace. Then, you will know the secret that I couldn’t figure out even after spending more than two hundred years here." Jiang Ge beamed a faint smile. The cube stone in his hand glistened. A tender beam of light like a feather fell on Shi Yan’s waist and took his Purgatory Token. "Haha, I tell you this. I have no grudges against Ao Gu Duo. He did put me in this damn place, but it was because I wanted to get here. My purpose was to enter the Extreme Purgatory Field."
Shi Yan could only stare at the man taking his Purgatory Token away. He had no solutions and he just remained silent, his eyes cold and dark.
Jiang Ge’s face darkened and became sinister. "That year, I was at only the Sky Realm. My whole family was massacred. My wife was raped in front of me. I must survive to take revenge! But my archenemy was too strong. I wasn’t his match. Living was hard for me at that time, too. Although the Raging Flame Star Area’s vast, I can’t find enough shelter. But the Extreme Purgatory Field was just the place that I needed. My hands are soaked in blood. I’ve killed many to make Ao Gu Duo jail me in the Extreme Purgatory Field. Staying here, I can avoid my enemy’s pursuit. Also, I can have a better place to cultivate and increase my realm. That is why I’ve stayed idle here for two hundred and fifty years. From the Sky Realm, I’ve reached the Third Sky of King God Realm. I’ve sacrificed a lot for my revenge!"
His face distorted savagely while talking. "Finally, today, I gain the force for my revenge. Since you have only the First Sky of King God Realm cultivation base and Ao Gera is at the Second Sky of King God Realm, I don’t see how you will have a chance to kill him if he also has help from others. I don’t want to make this bet, either. If I can have the Purgatory Token from you, why would I take a risk?"
Jiang Ge gradually pulled himself together. "You don’t need to hate me. I still think this is just an exchange between us. I told you the secrets that I kept for years. If you can break the barriers and get into the palace, perhaps you will have the luck that I can’t imagine. If I didn’t want to leave so badly, I wouldn’t do this to you. I would stay here like the other four until I found the secrets of this place. I’m now giving this honor to you. You should thank me. You’re still young. You still have time to play."
"I’m so sorry I can’t stay here with you. Enjoy. I need to get out of here." Jiang Ge rubbed his chin. "After another year, the Extreme Purgatory Field’s training will end. I will leave first. If we meet again, I will make up for your loss today. And yeah, I have to remind you that the other four aren’t easy to talk to like I am. If you meet them, you have to be careful. They are the true villains of the Raging Flame Star Area. They are very patient and are all at the Third Sky of King God Realm. After so many years studying this place, the five of us have found that if one of the five palaces is broken, the others would change accordingly. Solve this mystery yourself."
After Jiang Ge finished, he laughed evilly before leaving.
He passed by the small cottage, roasted some fish, ate them then picked some stuff. He left with satisfaction.
----------------------
After one hour.
Jiang Ge appeared from the forbidden place.
Yalan and Tie Mu were waiting outside. Seeing him, they were startled. They immediately got on guard, preparing for Jiang Ge’s sudden attack.
Jiang Ge looked at them who looked like they were encountering the archenemy. He laughed. "Don’t be so tense. I won’t risk my life fighting you. I got what I want." He shook Shi Yan’s Purgatory Token.
Tie Mu was shaken, shouting, "Where’s Shi Yan?"
"Dead, of course." Jiang Ge laughed louder. "He didn’t treasure his life. He shouldn’t have broken into the prohibited area. The barriers there had torn him into pieces. I didn’t need to move my finger to receive this piece of Purgatory Token. So wonderful, right?"
Tie Mu and Yalan grimaced listening to him. They tensed up.
"I told you, I just need a Purgatory Token. If you don’t want to get into more trouble, don’t act rashly." Jiang Ge didn’t bother with Tie Mu and Yalan. He left quietly and hurriedly as if he had something to finish.
Yalan and Tie Mu looked helplessly at the man leaving. They didn’t dare act recklessly.
Jiang Ge had the Third Sky of King God Realm cultivation base and his Thousand Fantasy Domain had affected them directly. Yalan and Tie Mu understood that without Shi Yan, they wouldn’t be able to fight the old man.
The two contemplated for a while, their eyes gazing at the forbidden area. After a while, they sighed.
"Too bad. Shi Yan was quite the character. I have never seen anyone that excellent at the First Sky of King God Realm. If he survived, he would have been the most dazzling star of the divine nation," Yalan said with emotions.
Tie Mu nodded heavily. "He was too reckless. He didn’t listen to us. If he didn’t go inside there, that freaky, old man wouldn’t have done anything to him. If we went together, that man wouldn’t have been able to attack us. Sigh... I didn’t expect things to turn out like this."
"Forget it. He chose his path. We had no choice." Yalan shook her head with regret. "We should go. We still have a mission to finish. We should accomplish our task before saying more."
Tie Mu agreed. He glared at the prohibited land for the last time before leaving. They didn’t know that Shi Yan was still alive inside.
After Jiang Ge left Yalan and Tie Mu, he wandered aimlessly, leaving no shadow. Ao Gu Duo and the others outside couldn’t see him.
His cube stone had concealed him from the Purgatory Token’s sensing and the people using the lake to watch what was happening inside the Extreme Purgatory Field.
Jiang Ge moved discreetly in the Extreme Purgatory Field. He visited four other places, the four forbidden lands.
He and the other four had made an appointment. He told the others that he couldn’t stay here any longer and that he must leave. A boy had replaced him. He would finish what Jiang Ge couldn’t.
Moving between the four forbidden lands took him half a year. Participants in the Extreme Purgatory Field were still killing and chasing prisoners and bloodthirsty villains.
No one had met Shi Yan.
Ao Gu Duo, Leona, Du Tian Ji, and Zi Yao in the Dark Firmament Star couldn’t use the magical mirror created by the former Imperial Master to spot Shi Yan in the Extreme Purgatory Field.
That forbidden land was able to avoid all kinds of sensing abilities. Everyone thought Shi Yan was dead.
Time flies fast. Soon, the training in the Extreme Purgatory Field had come to an end. The term of three years was about to end.
Ao Gera didn’t see Shi Yan. The battle that everyone had been waiting for didn’t take place.
When the magical effects of the Extreme Purgatory Field vanished, Du Tian Le and the five great feudal vassals cooperated in checking the battlefields. The lucky prisoners and villains who survived were jailed again.
Du Tian Le faced the sky and shouted to call for the participants. Gradually, they came one by one. But Shi Yan had never shown up. Leona waited in silence. Her face gradually darkened.
