Chapter 963: Heart Of Guardianship (4)
About three days later.
After flying day and night, the vessel finally reached the Burial Sea. It wasn’t that the boat was slow. It was simply that the Holy Ruins were vast beyond comprehension. Even a single sub-region was as broad as a galaxy.
They could’ve crossed several star systems in three days at the speed they were going, yet they had only made it halfway across the Blade Ruins.
“We’ve arrived.”
The boat descended and everyone leaped to the ground. The vessel dissolved into light and returned to Li Xiaofei’s palm. They were standing on top of a massive metallic cliff. No one could tell how deep the abyss below truly went.
Swirling grey-black mist obscured everything, so visibility barely extended ten meters. In the distance, they could faintly hear the sound of waves lapping against an unseen shore.
The tide rose and fell. It was the sound of the Burial Sea, another extremely dangerous forbidden zone within the Blade Ruins.
"Go," Liu Shaji said as he drew an Immortal Artifact flying sword and sent it streaking into the swirling grey-black mist ahead.
He had intended to guide the sword and scout the interior. But the moment the Immortal Artifact entered the mist, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. All connection to it was severed. It was as if the sword had 'died.'
A grave expression crossed Liu Shaji’s face. This 'funereal miasma' was far more terrifying than he had imagined. It could even 'kill' an Immortal-grade sword.
"Let me try," Zhu Zhixun volunteered, drawing forth a silver broken sword.
It was a damaged Emperor weapon, one that still retained a trace of Sword Immortal Lin Beichen’s imperial aura. Its chances of resisting the miasma were certainly higher than those of an ordinary Immortal Artifact. But before he could act, Li Xiaofei stopped him.
