In his Sea of Consciousness, the Five Devils crazily chased the hollow spirits who had penetrated there and were now running and fleeing away in fear.
However, under the Five Devils' pursuit, these hollow spirits basically couldn't escape. The third eye of his host soul released a light beam, forming a barrier that prevented the hollow spirits from getting through and blocked all the entrances of the Sea of Consciousness.
Leylin easily and swiftly dealt with all the hollow spirits and started to talk with Joseph and his teams.
Witnessing and gauging Leylin's strength and heeding Joseph warning everyone acted accordingly and Joseph answered all of Leylin queries involving Ordell.
After the team of Joseph, Linda and Ordell left the Hengluo Sea, they passed through the Vault of Heaven Sea Area to go to the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.
They wanted to avoid the chaos happening in the Endless Sea, Joseph and Linda also wanted to inform their master about the unusual situation of the Endless Sea.
Ordell also had no plans to go back to Endless Sea just yet. After listening to Joseph and Linda about the Divine Land and knowing about a whole new world with bigger opportunities and greater stage, Ordell wanted nothing more than increasing her powers and eventually contribute to her family and her lover.
Leylin knows that Ordell has always pushed herself harder and harder in her cultivation to chase his even dissipating shadow, and to remain firm by his side. She saw such an opportunity here in Divine Land and asked Joseph to take here with them.
But shockingly enough just when they entered the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, two God Realm warriors of the Pure Land suddenly appeared and directly came to see her!
Joseph and Linda were puzzled, while Ordell as perturbed. The two Spirit Realm warrior of the Pure Land showed extreme respect towards Ordell, calling her Sage, and invited her to return to the Pure Land, saying that they needed her to open some kind of a Soul Seal.
Ordell was full of suspicion and rejected directly. The two God Realm warriors from the Pure Land only apologized for being rude, then captured her and left, not caring about the other two.
Joseph and Linda were dumbfounded, helplessly watching Ordell being brought away.
Leylin was stunned, as he contemplated for a while. He slightly shook his head and thought with a suspicious face, 'Why? How come those two Spirit Realm warriors from the Pure Land find and capture her?'
"Do you have any clues about their motives?"
"Maybe they are mistaken about her identify...or to be honest I had thought for a long time and guessed that this might even have something related to Ordell's Reincarnation Martial Spirit."
Joseph hesitated a little bit before explaining. "According to my understanding of the Omega Family, I know that they all have the Reincarnation Martial Spirit, and they can use the memory and the comprehension of the previous generation's warriors. I think it's possible that Ordell's last generation is some Pure Land's Sage?
"You are saying that Pure Land could possibly have the kind of secret technique where as long as someone has reached a higher realm, given the situation that they are about to die, they might use this secret technique to reincarnate. And Ordell is such a person being a reincarnation of a previous generation Sage?"
"It can be... but I am not sure."
Leylin arched his eyebrows, gazed at other and then said, "If it's true, she in danger…"
"Why do you think so?"
"If she is really a reincarnation of a Sage, The only reason Pure Land would abduct her is to awaken the Divine Sense of the last generation."
"And if that Divine Sense wake up, who do you think would be triumphant, a supreme expert or a mere Nirvana realm warrior. She will become that Pure Land's Sage. Her soul and memory of this life will vanish." Leylin took a deep breath.
Leylin isn't a strange to reincarnation. And it's not very hard for him to deduct the overall situation once all the cards are put in place.
Leylin also know that this reincarnation process needs a lot of preparation. Ordell probably needs to cultivate various kinds of secret soul techniques so that she can prepare for the fusion.
Leylin pondered with a grave face. His eyes were cold and sharp like a knife while he whispered, "Pure Land..."
The Pure Land is one of seven factions of the Divine Great Land. Its rumoured that they have around ten Spirit Realm warriors. Except for these warriors, there is a True God Realm warrior that guards the land.
The current Leylin don't have the medium to compete or negotiate against them, but Leylin isn't disheartened. He knows that he would definitely reach a haughty realm in the future where they can only bow their heads and heed his command or be vanished but... It can't be done overnight, its basically a race against time.
"Berkan I know you are feeling indignant but don't be reckless.. Pure Land isn't an entity you can compete with."
Leylin side glanced at Joseph and didn't respond, instead he returned to his previous work and resume devouring hollow spirit.
A couple of minutes passed and Leylin leisurely walked around the cave without any indication about his mood.
"This guy took the news better than I thought." One of Joseph guards said.
"Probably he's just a heartless bastard." Lizzia chinded.
"What can he do? Against an powerhouse like Pure Land what option does he have but to shallow the bitter pill."
"Joseph.." Suddenly as Joseph was about to tell them not to gossip Leylin called his name out of nowhere startling Joseph.
He looked at Leylin apologetically, "Brother Berkan, don't mind their words they don't understand.. "
Leylin looked at them without any intrest in their opinion and asked, "Why are you here?"
It's clear that there is something special about this place because despite of so many warriors gathering in the swamp like this, clearly knowing that it was not easy to mess with hollow spirits and rattan monsters. No one left. After all, what were they waiting for?
There should be some strange thing in this swamp area, something that attracted the crowd here. Otherwise, why did these warriors still stay here even though they knew that this place was extremely dangerous?
"It is said that the Pure God Soul of this exotic land is in this swamp. The source of this information is absolutely reliable. However, we have been staying here for a long time, but there is no movement of any soul." Joseph sighed with relief watching Leylin having no idea of pursing his group's impudence and answered truthfully.
"According to my master, if the Pure God Soul truly exists, the most likely area should be in this swamp."
"How long have you been here?"
"Seven days, more or less. During these seven days, quite a lot of hollow spirits and rattan monsters appeared in this swamp. Some people of my team died on entering here. Many of them turned into hollow spirits after they died. It seems that after people die here, their souls do not perish, but become hollow spirits instead." Joseph frowned and explained. He thought seriously, shook his head and sighed. "Maybe we shouldn't stay here for too long. If there is nothing in another three days, we must leave this place. Even if there truly is the Pure God Soul here, we don't have the blessing to get it."
Leylin raised his eyebrows.
"Every few days, a strong vibration will come up from this swamp. It's strong enough to crush people's souls. The latter ones will be stronger than the previous ones. During the past seven days in this swamp, we have seen this sort of tremor twice. These two instances of vibrations almost made our souls collapse." Joseph's face remained calm and solemn, "I almost forgot this. The next tremor should happen in three days, and it will be much stronger than the previous ones. With low cultivation bases, we're afraid that we will be unable to bear it this time. We don't want our souls to collapse."
The three people of Joseph team also wore a regretful face and reluctantly shook their heads.
"Tremor?" Leylin touched his chin.
"Yes."
"Are you referring to the kind of vibration that affect people's heartbeat, making the heart beat faster, producing a kind of crazy soul fluctuation?"
"Indeed."
"I see.. then I guess it would be wise for you to leave soon. "
"I think so too but I'll wait for a while."
"Hmm."
Time passed quietly, and soon, two days were gone.
Due to Leylin devouring all of the hollow spirits, the light inside the bog became darker; it was just the faint green light glimmering, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Whenever a rattan monster died, the ambiance inside the swamp would get a little bit colder, giving people a chill as if they were in a Devil Abyss.
More and more rattan monsters were killed under the unity of the warriors. Also, more dark red blood was gushing into the swamp.
The bog area became gloomy. All kinds of cold, evil aura seemed to spread out gradually, hovering above the swamp, sending people a creepy feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Finally, all the rattan monsters were completely wiped out by the warriors.
After their blood had been poured into the swamp, the originally green swamp now turned dark red. However, the green light emitting from the swamp didn't change, still floating above the dark red water area, making people feel strange.
After all the rattan monsters were cleared, the bog became tranquil. Many warriors were aware that the atmosphere was unusual. They didn't say anything, just put up their guards and stayed vigilant secretly.
Some warriors with lower realms even wore thick coats to resist the cold, evil aura from the swamp.
A feeling of extreme repression spread throughout the swamp.
Everyone in the swamp had a feeling of insecurity. They looked extremely vigilant.
Gurgle gurgle!
Water in the swamp blistered the very first dark red bubble. After that bubble burst, a plume of blood red vapor quietly spread out.
Gurgle gurgle.
More and more blood red bubbles emerged from the bog.
When those bubbles blew up, they released blood red smoke. The blood red vapor gradually diffused all over the swamp and shrouded all of the remaining warriors there.
Thump Thump!
A strange noise came up from the bottom of the swamp.
The faces of the four people of Joseph's group changed.
"Not good," Lizzie couldn't help but cry out loud with a frightened face. "The tremor this time seems to come too early. The time shouldn't have arrived yet, right?"
The four of them seemed to know the exact principle of the vibration in the bog. Hence, after rattan monsters had been cleaned up, they weren't in a hurry to leave.
However, the tremor of the bog this time was beyond their expectation. Since the rattan monsters had been wiped out, the vibration seemed to happen earlier than usual.
The four people of Joseph's group were all at the Nirvana Realm but still lingered in this swamp because they thought that the tremor would not be arising for a while, and thus, they still had some hope.
Nevertheless, as soon as the tremor had just come up this time, the four of them were immediately anxious. They nodded to Leylin who was watching the commotion with a hint of intrest, indicating that they wanted to leave right away to return to the ground with the fastest speed.
Leylin waved his hand not caring about their business, he just stared at Joseph back for a while and returned to his previous stance.
'Purgatory True Flame... although I would like for you to die right now so that I can take it but.. there is no hurry. This heaven flame and all the others, they all would converge towards me in due time such is the fate of the destined dear of a wretched world.'
The quiet swamp now suddenly clamored again.
One Nirvana Realm warrior rushed to the entrance amidst the vibrant sound. As Joseph was taking the lead with the fastest speed, that Nirvana realm warrior was the first one who dashed through the exit.
BOOM!
A heavy sound reverberated through the entire swamp area. The sound arose from the direction of the exit.
Thick blood smoke stuck onto the dark green shimmering exit and seemed to form a defensive barrier that prevented anyone from going out.
Joseph dashed forward, but not only could he not break it, but was also pressed down by a massive force. His body was like a bloody shell directly falling into the swamp. He suddenly screamed out loud.
A fiery fire burst out from his body. This fire released a terrifying heat, burning the blood into smog.
A First Sky of Nirvana Realm warrior of another team also had the same consequence. When he stormed towards the exit, the same force pressed him down, making him fall into the swamp while being covered with blood.
This warrior didn't have Heaven Flame like Joseph Feng, and thus, when his body was soaked in blood, he mournfully cried in pain. His body emitted a faint blood-red smog, and under everyone's attentive looks, his skin quickly fell off, exposing his white bones.
Extremely erosive poison!
The countenances of everyone in the swamp changed. Those warriors whose feet were in the swamp were aware of the blood's changes, which started to erode their Profound Qi.
Seeing that warrior being eroded and dissolved, Lizzie and others who did want to fly up out of this place, changed their visages immediately due to the fright, not knowing if they should advance or retreat.
At this moment, if they left, they would encounter the strong defensive barrier, and probably would be pressed down by a certain force. Their bodies would then soak in that blood, be eroded and dissolved.
However, if they didn't leave, the vibration, which had started already, would shatter their spirits, as they couldn't resist with their low cultivation base. Therefore, regardless of leaving or not, it seemed that they only had a dead end ahead of them.
Lizzie and others all wore a desperate look.
Leylin contemplated for a while and suddenly shouted. "Joseph come back."
Joseph was startled for a moment, and then reacted immediately, talking to the other three of his group, "Go! Let's get back first."
They didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Although they could not pierce through the sky to fly, they still put all of their efforts in urging their Nirvana Realm power and gathering all of their flying ability. Finally, they could fly up and rush back.
Seeing the group coming back with a frightened face, Leylin created an iceberg for the group to land. Leylin was a Sky realm warrior, he could fly without any problem but they weren't so lucky.
'I am saving a lot of people here in Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist.. First Neelam then this dumbass.. oh well it's your destiny to stay alive. At least for now.' Leylin eyes twinkled with a dark light as the various stars in the sky seem to appear in his vision.
The stars and the suns were moving around in the river of destiny and a previously unidentified path seem to have opened before Leylin.
'I am about to breakthrough to Second Sky of Sky realm...'
Pound pound...
The vibration sounds became dense and seemed to pierce through people's hearts, making their souls tremble.
It was unknown when the Nirvana Realm warriors, who were standing on the iceberg, all their faces and ears red. Their eyes gradually changed from frightened to dazed, even revealing a crazy, bloodthirsty intent.
"Be obedient."
Looking at Lizzie and others, who now had crazy eyes, Leylin didn't hesitated before suddenly urging the Ice Cold Flame's power.
A flow of cold air shot out from his palms like water snakes, drilling into them.
Under the cold air's infiltration, these people's bodies gradually froze up. Not long after, they looked just like ice sculptures.
Joseph was still safe under the penetration of the Ice Cold Flame's power. The Purgatory True Flame in his body proactively produced a fiery flame to offset all the ice power of the Ice Cold Flame that got into his body.
After the Ice Cold Flame had penetrated his body, his eyes became evil, and his whole body emitted a vicious aura.
It was as if the blood red smog, which was still hovering around without dispersing, seemed to have realized something, that it unexpectedly surrounded him.
Thump Thump! Thump Thump!
The vibration sounds continued to resound from the swamp. Joseph gradually lost his mind. In the middle of the blood red smog, he suddenly howled drearily as if some kind of an evil force had invaded his soul, making him unable to control his mind.
At the same time, waves suddenly rippled in the bog. In the center of those ripples, a giant dead tree slowly floated from the bottom of the bog, as if being driven by some strength. It then stuck out of the swamp.
This giant tree had no foliage, and had been dried for an unknown period of time. However, it was incredibly huge when it came out, gradually overwhelming the entire swamp. The giant tree was covered with thumb-sized, dark green insects, which seemed like they fed on dead creatures. They all had a very thick crustacean shell.
Countless dark green insects slowly crawled on the giant tree. More and more insects got out from inside the tree and then spread throughout the swamp.
"Corpse-eating demonic insects!" Someone suddenly shouted.
As soon as the other warriors in the swamp area heard his scream, their faces all changed dramatically, as if they were encountering a pandemic. They immediately showed all kinds of secret defensive treasures and martial techniques, protecting their bodies carefully as they were scared of being touched by those insects.
These insects first crawled on the giant tree and quickly covered the whole tree in just a short time, producing buzzing sounds. Those hundreds of creeping insects had flesh wings come out from their shells. They flew up from the tree and circled above the swamp.
The ancient tree slowly rose from the swamp. When the giant tree covered the entire swamp, its roots suddenly emitted a milky halo. Inside that milky halo, a crystal lotus throne gradually emerged.
No one stood on this crystal lotus throne, but it was emitting an earth-shaking aura.
Rich Heaven and Earth aura spread out from the lotus throne, making the faces of the warriors in the swamp change. After taking in a breath of Heaven and Earth aura, they all felt relaxed and happy.
When the thick Heaven and Earth aura flowed out, the blood red smog, which was hovering around, suddenly flocked to the crystal petals of the lotus throne. During the process, the lotus throne's heart flashed a beam of white light and then disappeared. A heart-shaped object emerged from the center, releasing an ivory liquid that made people's souls tremble.
That liquid gurgled and produced thumping sounds. Many flows of surging energy shot out from it, which seemed to crack people's souls.
"Life Original Fluid!" All the eyes of the warrior suddenly reddened. They grunted and revealed a greedy and infatuated look.
