C1657 The Guardian Beast of the Formation
There's not much time left for him now, and in another six hours, the strange creature above his head will come to the altar, and then there's a 90% chance he'll die at the hands of those creatures.2
Right now, his soul force was completely concentrated at the place where the energy was leaking out. The patterns of the formation were very clear. Through the formation patterns at this position, he might not be able to crack or repair the formation within six hours. However, he should be able to find the safety point in the formation.
His soul force carefully observed the formation patterns. According to his understanding of the formation path, slowly analyzing the meaning of the formation patterns in this entire formation, this process was dull and boring. However, time flew by quickly. Unknowingly, four hours had passed.
Puchi!
A strange sound came from behind Ye Hongtian, waking him up from the deciphering of the formation pattern. Looking back, the creature that he couldn't see in the air had already landed on the altar. Because they were close, Ye Hongtian could see these creatures with the Mirror Image Yin Yang Eye activated.
These creatures were slightly different from what Ye Hongtian had imagined. They looked just like caterpillars. They were just a little bigger, and the sense of danger they gave Ye Hongtian had disappeared. This made Ye Hongtian feel like he had sensed something wrong at the beginning.
However, just as he felt that these things were harmless and was about to continue analyzing the formation patterns, a caterpillar fell from the sky and landed on Ye Hongtian's shoulder, giving Ye Hongtian a fright.
Ye Hongtian consciously grabbed it with his hand, wanting to take it off and throw it away. However, as soon as his hand touched the caterpillar, many mouths suddenly grew out of the caterpillar's body. After biting Ye Hong Tian's hand, Ye Hong Tian's consciousness started to blur again in the next second. Finally, he fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Hongtian slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he returned to the pile of skeletons. It made him realize that he had died again.
He was extremely glad that this was only an environment. If this place really existed, then even ten lives might not be enough for him to die. This type of terrifying place would definitely be called a life restricted land.
After experiencing this death, Ye Hongtian had a clue that he could leave this place. However, the pain in his head made him unable to stand up. He just moved his head a few times and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He felt as if his head was about to explode.
"This should be the consequence of continuously dying in this illusion. I thought that as long as I get serious, I should be able to escape this place without any problem. Now it seems that I have underestimated this illusion. I can't make any more attempts. If I try again, my head will probably explode from pain! " Ye Hongtian muttered to himself.
He gave up and stood up from the ground. He sat in the safe position of the pile of skeletons and spread his soul force towards the energy leakage south of the altar. Unfortunately, as long as his soul force reached the blood lake, it would be greatly limited. His soul force would only be able to spread out 200 feet above the blood lake. There was still some distance to the energy leakage.
The skeleton pile on this land was the only safe area he knew of. He did not want to leave this area again. Soul force. Ye Hongtian tried to break through the blood lake's obstruction before he could reach the source of the energy.
This method of preventing soul force from spreading was actually very common. In the Martial Shattering Continent, as long as one used soul force to form a protective barrier, it could affect the spread of other martial artists' soul force. Thus, Ye Hongtian imagined the method of preventing soul force from spreading on the blood lake to be someone using soul force to form a protective barrier, turning his soul force into countless sharp swords that rampaged through the blood lake.
The soul force that transformed into sharp swords wouldn't be able to maintain the blood lake for long. It would basically disappear after moving 10 feet. However, Ye Hongtian would keep using his soul power to condense sharp blades. This way, the sharp blades would be endless. After a while of soul power ramming into the blood lake, the range of his soul power had obviously increased. This gave Ye Hongtian the chance to use his soul power to detect the leakage of the energy in a safe pile of skeletons.
"At the current rate of progress, I don't know how long it will take for my soul power to reach the leakage of the formation. However, this matter can't be rushed. I just don't know how long I will have to stay in this illusionary realm. Zi Ming should have already woken up. I hope that she hasn't looked for me everywhere after reading my message. "
Ye Hong Tian thought as he expanded the range of his soul force. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed in the illusionary realm. Although there was no sun or moon in the illusion realm, the sky had always been red. However, Ye Hong Tian could clearly feel the flow of time. Moreover, since he had comprehended the Laws of Time, he could also sense that there was some deviation between the flow of time here and the real flow of time. Three days had passed in this place, and it was estimated that only a day and a half had passed outside.
If he had not stayed in this illusion for a long time, his life might have been in danger. Ye Hong Tian even wanted to cultivate here for a period of time. After all, it was not easy to find a place where the flow of time was slower than the normal flow of time. There were not many places in the big sects. It was very suitable for cultivation.
In three days, when he saw that his soul power was about to reach the place where the energy of the formation was leaking out, the ground suddenly shook. Ye Hongtian was so scared that he quickly withdrew his soul power.
He opened his eyes and looked around. He found that it wasn't the ground that was shaking. It was the entire environment. The skeletons that were floating in the air started to run away when they saw something they were afraid of. The dangerous caterpillars in the air also fell into the blood lake. Even the blood lake that had been peaceful for the past three days suddenly boiled.
Hu ~
A gust of chilly wind blew past Ye Hongtian. He could feel the chilly wind. Ye Hong Tian couldn't help but shiver. A martial artist who had cultivated to this level should not be afraid of the cold anymore. But just a gust of cold wind made Ye Hong Tian shiver. This cold wind was too unusual.
"The current situation... could it be that some divine beast guarding the array is coming out? It wasn't easy for me to extend my soul force to the area where the energy was leaking, but I didn't want to fail!" Ye Hongtian murmured with a bitter face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blood in the blood lake suddenly soared into the sky. Following that, a strange fish with two heads and two blood-red eyes jumped out of the lake. Its body was actually around fifteen meters tall!
Ye Hongtian stared at the strange fish that jumped out of the blood lake with a face full of shock. He wished he could give himself a slap. He was just saying it casually. He didn't expect that the guardian beast of the formation would actually come out. He hoped that his foul mouth could be effective on some good things. Unfortunately, it was just a thought.
After resting for three days, his head no longer hurt. Since he could move freely, Ye Hong Tian wanted to stay away from the blood lake and the strange fish. He slapped the ground with his right hand and flew up into the air, retreating backwards.
