Desperate Night

Having figured this out, Yu Hong relied on the safe house to explore this place, discovering that it was only the size of a small town and devoid of any living creatures.

However, he found some graves near the edge of a fissure.

Stone tablets stood in front of the graves, but the inscriptions were frozen by blue ice, making them illegible.

Crack.

The safe house door opened.

Yu Hong, covered in the inner force of the Tai Ling Skill, quickly stepped out and approached the stone tablets.

The blue ice brushed against him, and as soon as he came out, he felt an icy chill from the depths of his heart slowly accumulating.

Exhaling, he held his breath and walked towards the largest stone tablet.

Bang.

He punched the bottom of the stone tablet, attempting to break it off and take it back as a souvenir.

But to his surprise, it only shook, leaving a shallow fist mark on the surface, and didn't break.

Instead, the layer of blue ice on the stone tablet shattered and fell off, revealing the inscription carved on it.

Yu Hong looked closely and discovered that the inscription was in the Second Night language, which he had once learned.

He recalled the basic grammar, as he had mastered these languages. Now, he could roughly understand the meaning without a translator.

'A Letter to Those Who Come After.'

The inscription's title read.

'We survived the tide of Source Disaster monsters, thinking that everything had finally calmed down, but unfortunately, that was just the beginning.'

'Grandmaster Wu Da devoted all his energy to creating the Thousand Machine Sect, compiling the essence of a hundred schools, writing books and establishing theories, and expanding the cultivation of the people, hoping to find a path different from the sages of the past. But unfortunately, it all ended in vain.'

'The Thousand Machine Sect was destroyed, and even Wu Wen, a genius, still perished in the Source Disaster. In despair, we had no choice but to seek a chance to escape far away. Now that we are about to leave, with all living things destroyed, there may be survivors who slipped through the net. If you see this letter, you can follow the clues to the Tan Kong Realm.'

'Left by—Fei Hongzi.'

Seeing this, Yu Hong understood that this was similar to the guidance message he had left behind.

It was meant to give any possible survivors a glimmer of hope.

"It seems that everyone here is dead," he looked around, feeling his body getting colder and colder.

Immediately, he carefully examined where this so-called clue was.

Soon, he found a thin, crimson thread at the bottom of the stone tablet.

Picking up the thread, Yu Hong quickly returned to the safe house.

He circulated his inner force dozens of times within his body to barely dispel the deep chill.

"This place is not to be stayed in for long!" He became vigilant, understanding that the cold here was not as simple as low temperature, and immediately, holding the red thread, he controlled Blackie to start the engine.

Buzz.

A faint sound rang out.

A large number of colored threads surrounded and appeared around Blackie, but disappeared into the wind disaster colored threads in a few seconds.

But this time entering the wind disaster was different from before.

Yu Hong stood by the window, watching the red thread in his hand with some surprise.

The moment he entered the wind disaster, the red thread automatically floated up, the end lit up with a red light, and gently pointed in a certain direction, with a slight pulling force.

"It can really point the way??" Yu Hong was a little surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow the direction of the red thread to take a look. But before he could control it, he found that Blackie was moving automatically.

The direction it was moving in was actually the direction indicated by the red thread.

Time continued to pass.

Bang.

Blackie suddenly shook slightly, as if it had rushed into a relatively gentle area.

The surrounding torrent of colored threads slowly weakened, and the colors also became brighter.

Yu Hong perked up and stared ahead.

Sure enough, in less than three seconds.

A black vortex suddenly appeared in front.

Blackie plunged straight in.

The light went dark for a moment, and then immediately brightened.

A dark red sky appeared outside the window. Accompanied by a scorching heat wave, the overall temperature of the safe house rapidly increased.

The sky outside the window was a dark red color, like flowing lava or thick tomato juice, as if it might drip down at any moment.

Everywhere on the ground was scorched black.

Black smoke pillars connected to the sky, slowly surging and swaying in the wind.

Blackie floated in mid-air, slowly drifting down under the effect of the formation.

Yu Hong stood by the window, and although he was still at least thousands of meters above the ground, his powerful eyesight still allowed him to see clearly.

The ground was densely packed with all kinds of black bones.

These bones were piled up like mountains, some had been burned and melted into a mass, some were incomplete and unrecognizable, and some had half their bodies buried in the ground, with their hands raised towards the sky, as if craving something.

Yu Hong subconsciously held his breath and looked at the red thread in his hand.

Sure enough, the red thread had changed direction again.

He quickly controlled Blackie to float in the direction indicated by the red thread.

Not long after.

Bang.

Blackie successfully landed, the bottom wheels popped out, and began to roll and move.

Aow!!

Just after landing, a black humanoid figure more than two meters tall condensed on the ground not far away.

The humanoid figure had dark red cracks all over its body, with flowing lava inside. It was bulky and abnormally fat.

Seeing Blackie, it let out an angry roar and charged towards it step by step.

Yu Hong's mind flickered slightly, and a figure of a Color Mirror Taoist immediately condensed outside the house.

Chih!

The Color Mirror Taoist, dozens of meters away, gently pointed.

The power of a void finger hit the humanoid figure, instantly detonating its entire body.

The latest novels are available on Six 9 Books!

Boom!!!!!

The huge dark red fireball instantly engulfed the surrounding hundreds of meters. It also engulfed the safe house Blackie.

"*!" Yu Hong couldn't help but curse, finding that the external formation was damaged by about 30%.

This explosion came too fast and too suddenly, and its power was extremely strong. It was almost comparable to a small-scale nuclear explosion.

A few seconds later, the flames dissipated. Not only was the safe house formation damaged, but even the Color Mirror Taoist didn't have time to teleport and was directly blown away.

"What the hell is this place!?" Yu Hong only had time to curse before he immediately saw that dozens of meters away, more black humanoid figures were rising from the ground, roaring and walking towards him.

No words, no communication, only ferocious figures roaring and rushing over.

Rumble!!

A series of explosions spread.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of Blackie once again.

What made Yu Hong's mood extremely bad was that these humanoid figures seemed to appear only to self-destruct.

As long as they approached the safe house within a certain distance, they would explode on the spot.

And the power of the explosion was quite exaggerated.

After resisting more than a dozen in a row, Yu Hong immediately summoned the Fear Shadow Color Mirror Taoist to attack from a distance.

Only then did he barely control the black humanoid figures that appeared around him at a certain distance.

Standing by the window, he looked at the continuous explosions outside the window with a grim face.

"It's only me, if it were someone else, they would have been blown to pieces by now." He looked down at the red thread.

He found that the red thread was still pointing in a certain direction.

Immediately, he controlled Blackie to slowly move towards that side.

After driving for about an hour.

Finally, the black humanoid figures that appeared in front began to decrease. And the surrounding terrain also began to gradually rise.

A tall stone tablet, completely red, like a red crystal, appeared at the end of the horizon.

After Yu Hong saw it, he quickly accelerated.

As the distance got closer and closer, the surrounding black humanoid figures also became fewer and fewer.

When approaching within fifty meters of the stone tablet, the black humanoid figures completely disappeared and no longer emerged from the ground.

Everything around became quiet.

With a slight cracking sound, Blackie approached the stone tablet. Through the window, Yu Hong could clearly see the writing left on it.

"Fei Hongzi again?"

He was a little surprised to see the signature. He didn't expect it to be left by Fei Hongzi, a refugee from the previous world.

'. This place also failed to resist successfully. Emperor Na'en was undoubtedly the most powerful and enlightened emperor in history. For three hundred and seventy years, Na'en ruled the surrounding seventy-one life planets, uniting a population of over a trillion, gathering all forces to fight against the Source Disaster.'

'Unfortunately, such great power still failed.'

'Hundreds of billions of troops followed one after another, risking their lives to protect their homeland, forgetting their lives and deaths. Everyone in the empire, every citizen, did only battle, not fearing life and death. I admire such a great empire, and I also feel sad for it. Even such a powerful empire cannot resist the terrifying Source Disaster, what else, who else, can bring the final hope??'

'I will continue to wander, continue to search, looking for the ultimate hope to contend with the Source Disaster. —Fei Hongzi.'

" . Seventy-one life planets . " Yu Hong was somewhat shocked, " If what is recorded on this stele is true, even such power could not resist the invasion of the Source Disaster, then the floating city on Quanhe's side..."

Yu Hong's mood quickly fell to the bottom.

He looked at the red thread in his hand, the thread was slowly breaking, shattering and disappearing.

And below the stone tablet, a new red thread quietly condensed.

Obviously, this was a clue left by Fei Hongzi for later generations.

In other words, if he is walking a path of life, then these traces along the way will become a path of life.

And if he is heading towards a dead end, then it can also be used as a reference for later generations.

Yu Hong opened the window and reached out to draw the red thread into his palm.

Watching the red thread slowly float up, its tail pointing in a new direction, Yu Hong knew that this was the next place Fei Hongzi was going.

Anyway, after passing through the Phoenix Eyes, letting the Ark of Salvation act freely would definitely be unsustainable.

It would be better to follow this Fei Hongzi during this time of waiting for strengthening and see what he actually experienced.

Perhaps he could obtain enough reference information from it.

Yu Hong pondered for a moment, then immediately urged Black Spirit to follow the red thread back into the wind disaster and fly towards the next location.

At this time, inside the Floating City.

Margaret stared blankly as the old mage of the Vena Tower handed the bill to her.

She wanted to cry but had no tears.

Three hundred and fifty thousand ah! !

Three hundred and fifty thousand for a single Master-level divination, only to receive the answer 'Unable to query!'!?

If it weren't for the full recording as proof, demonstrating that Master Vena was not deliberately perfunctory, but earnestly and meticulously completed a full divination.

Margaret was afraid she would have wanted to die.

"Forgive my bluntness."

The old mage sighed, "There is only one possibility for such a situation, and that is that there is a magical power far exceeding that of a seventh-level master concealing the divination's detection.

With this strength and motive... in my opinion, there is perhaps only one."

"Oceanic Capital!!!"

Margaret instantly understood.

That's right, only the Oceanic Capital had this power and motive.

If a big shot from that side arranged for their junior to undergo a trial, they might really do such a thing.
