Chapter 4897: 5.0649 Worlds Apart
The impact left her seeing stars and completely disoriented, collapsing limply to the ground and fainting once more.
At this point, Great Overlord Jisi looked utterly miserable. Where was the arrogant, domineering figure she once was?
Not only were both her ears a bloody mess, but her forehead had violently struck the barrier, now sporting a ridiculously large bump.
The unfortunate Great Overlord Jisi lay on the ground, her mouth slightly agape, breathing heavily, her face a twisted mix of distress and indignation, her eyes tightly shut, unwilling to open.
She never wanted to see those ugly-faced, ugly-hearted people again!
Before the crowd, transparent barriers appeared.
The central square pit, quite distant through the barriers, made it hard for anyone to discern what was inside.
"Kick her awake," Mo Lian said coldly.
Just as the mechanical figure bounced forward, about to kick her again, Great Overlord Jisi, missing both ears, sat up ramrod straight, and said expressionlessly, "I can't remove this barrier."
She spoke rapidly:
"The reason I suspected the formation here was the source of the restriction is because behind this barrier, there's an inconspicuous small fruit tree. When the first group of us arrived here, we all ate the sour and涩 (astringent) little fruits from it, which removed the cultivation suppression."
Shen Wu realized something, saying, "Oh, so you're the only group that wasn't suppressed by the natural laws?"
No, the Great Overlord means that the laws of natural suppression largely depend on the formation before them?
Mo Lian walked a few steps around the transparent barrier.
When he stopped, Immortal Venerable Taohua floated to his side and asked impatiently, "How is it? Can we find a way out?"
Mo Lian frowned, remaining silent, staring at the transparent barrier, thinking calmly.
"How is it? What kind of formation is this? Why is it in the Sacrificial Sea Abyss?"
"This should be a formation left by the Heavenly Dao," Mo Lian said with a faint expression. "Before, this place was likely where the Heavenly Dao used to place its Tower of Punishment."
Feng Chen: "..."
Mo Lian raised a hand, pointed a finger, and the barrier before him immediately shattered.
Great Overlord Jisi stared dumbfounded, cold sweat involuntarily dripping down her face.
Only now did she truly understand what kind of ferocious, malevolent deity she had provoked earlier.
This barrier, combined with the power of so many people for so many years, had never voluntarily opened. Yet, it was directly broken by a single finger from another.
What a disparity in strength, what a world of difference.
The Human-Snake's small body hopped up and, in passing, slapped his thigh hard. "So, all of this is still the old bastard Heavenly Dao's doing, is it?"
Mo Lian and Feng Chen ignored him. They simply stepped over the broken barrier and walked to the edge of the square pit in the middle.
The indigenous people of the Land of Sin stared nervously at Mo Lian and Feng Chen, shouting, "What do you want to do?" and "Do you want to desecrate the gods?"
They followed, each staring intently at Mo Lian and Feng Chen with wary eyes.
"We discovered this sacred artifact first."
"That's right! You can't touch the sacred artifact."
Immortal Venerable Taohua glanced at them, then casually looked into the pit, immediately feeling utterly dumbfounded.
There seemed to be nothing in the pit, yet these people were so agitated, acting as if they were possessed by something.
At this moment, the old man who performed the sinkhole worship and the others also realized that there was nothing in the pit.
