Chapter 608 - 708: Miserable
Where exactly is this place?
Everyone had this doubt, and looking at such a tall wall, it must have taken a lot of effort and time to build.
Moreover, if it's just to block them, it seems like a waste of resources!
"When they rushed out just now, their bodies generated some Power of Hope. Why didn't you extract it?" In a room outside the wall, Black Robe Person C looked at the monitors in front of him and then said to Black Robe Person A.
"Why should we extract it? It's just a small amount of Power of Hope. Why rush to extract it?" Black Robe Person A said with a smile, "You know, Power of Hope can only be extracted once. After extraction, the person loses hope and will eventually die in despair due to the loss of hope. You see, their Power of Hope will only be maximized when they escape from this wall, so extracting it then will definitely be worth it."
After hearing this, Black Robe Person C nodded silently and fell silent, not speaking, because he knew how to extract Power of Hope, but he couldn't solve the issue of how to maximize its generation, which had always been handled by Black Robe Person A and Black Robe Person B.
When Ye Tianfan saw himself trapped inside a wall, he was first stunned and then smiled.
No matter how high you are, trying to block a flying Cultivator is nonsense. As long as there's a top to it, you can fly over it unless you're attached to the sky.
Ye Tianfan chuckled and said to the people behind him, "You rest here for a while, I'll fly over and take a look!"
After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he was about to summon the Flying Sword to fly over when a child stopped him and said cautiously, "Um, can I go with you?"
After the child spoke, as if afraid Ye Tianfan would refuse, he quickly revealed the transparent wings on his back and started flapping them swiftly.
Then Ye Tianfan saw the child slowly lift off the ground and began flying in the sky.
"Alright, if you're not afraid, then come along with me!" Ye Tianfan replied, then summoned the Flying Sword and flew towards the top of the wall!
Seeing Ye Tianfan agree, the child hurriedly followed up!
Although the wall looked far away from them, it was nothing considering Ye Tianfan's speed. In a few blinks of an eye, Ye Tianfan reached the edge of the wall, and he adjusted his flying direction to quickly ascend.
But just as he reached the top, Ye Tianfan felt as if he hit a wall and quickly fell down. A light purple barrier appeared at the top of the wall, as if telling Ye Tianfan, "I am what you crashed into."
The child following behind Ye Tianfan saw him crash into a light purple film and fall down, and quickly flew toward Ye Tianfan, obviously wanting to catch him.
But this difficulty couldn't stump Ye Tianfan. In the air, he twisted his waist and landed on the Flying Sword once again, flying back up.
Then Ye Tianfan slowly flew to the top of the wall, but didn't crash directly this time and instead touched it with his hand gently.
The reason Ye Tianfan dared to use his hand was because even though he ran into it earlier, this layer of film didn't hurt him, it only gave him a headache from crashing into it.
Ye Tianfan didn't find any other function of the film. It was merely sealing this layer at the top of the wall.
When Ye Tianfan touched the film, a light purple film spread around his palm, and as soon as he put his hand down, this small patch of light purple film quickly disappeared!
Even though that small patch of light purple film disappeared, Ye Tianfan could still feel that the film was still there.
Ye Tianfan discovered that this film only appeared when touched and disappeared rapidly after.
Ye Tianfan backed up a bit and signaled the child to stay back before summoning the Fire Lotus Sword.
Three moves were directly infused into the Fire Lotus Sword, and then Ye Tianfan fiercely slashed at the film.
The three moves struck the film, and immediately, thunderous sounds echoed, and the light purple film covering the top of the wall began to emerge.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Tianfan instantly understood that even though his three moves targeted this point, the film somehow distributed the force across itself, meaning Ye Tianfan was attacking the entire film.
Damn it, Ye Tianfan gritted his teeth. When he crashed into the film earlier, only a few square meters of its light purple film appeared.
Now that he attacked, the entire film bore the brunt. This way, he couldn't break through it since he was essentially slashing at the entire film!
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan struck the film again with the three moves that were still on the Fire Lotus Sword.
Ye Tianfan didn't think his slash would accomplish anything; it was merely out of frustration.
The moment the three moves struck the light purple film again, a thunderous roar resounded within the enormous wall, akin to the wrath of the Thunder God, causing people's hearts to tremble in fear.
Those waiting below, some even knelt down, praying to this god or that.
To them, these changes seemed like an act of divine wrath, with no thought of it being human-induced, because aside from their current status as experiment subjects, they were ordinary civilians, completely unfamiliar with what a Cultivator was.
Perhaps they had only heard the word and knew Cultivators could fly, but they had never seen a real Cultivator battle. Besides Ye Tianfan and the organization members, they hadn't seen any other Cultivators.
The child following Ye Tianfan, hearing the loud noise, felt nervous at first, but then calmed down because he had witnessed everything from start to finish and knew all the changes originated from Ye Tianfan. Unlike those below, he didn't think it was an act of divine wrath.
He was also deeply captivated by Ye Tianfan's casual strike.
The child now had a rough glimpse of the tip of the iceberg that is a Cultivator.
