Chapter 1025: Stationed To Guard
Li Xiaofei saw that at some unknown point, Old Tan's body had become covered in what looked like dust and drifting willow fluff. He looked like an ancient relic abandoned for thousands of years, his entire figure wrapped in layers of ash, until only a vague human shape could be seen.
Upon closer inspection, even Old Tan’s face was the same. Countless fine, gray filaments were emerging from the pores of his skin like strands of cobwebs and dispersing into the air like floating spores.
The spores scattered into the air with every step he took.
Did Old Tan turn into some kind of monster?
Li Xiaofei looked down at himself. A faint layer of dim, mite-like dust had also begun to cling to his skin. The air was filled with floating particles, resembling the kind of dust one might see under a microscope.
"This is how it is here," Old Tan said as he walked forward. "The Land of Annihilation is filled with Oblivion Force, an energy that can destroy everything."
A realization dawned upon Li Xiaofei, So this is the true form of Oblivion Force?
Old Tan continued, "This place is completely different from the real world and the Realm of Ruins. Oblivion seeps through every gap. The first time I came here, I was terrified. I thought I’d turned into a thousand-year-old corpse... You could also call this the Land of Truth."
The Land of Truth?
Li Xiaofei circulated a wisp of his Immortal Force and the strange residue on his body vanished instantly. After a moment of sensing his surroundings, he found that his strength and condition hadn’t been significantly affected in this eerie environment. But there was an ever-present, subtle sense of dread gnawing at his senses.
