Chapter 149: Breaking Through in the Nick of Time. Life Is at Stake!

Victor and Bai Yulan were completely cut off from the outside world. Bai Yulan suddenly felt that the surrounding environment seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

“This is a formation barrier. It can ensure our safety for a short period of time,” Victor said calmly.

The ancient formation, the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation, should be able to withstand Hu Zhi’s attack for a while.

However, the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation could not last forever. Four hours was the amount of time Victor had.

Hu Zhi and the others, who were chasing after Victor and Bai Yulan, were dumbfounded when they saw the two disappear into thin air. “How…How did it happen? Where are they?”

“Hmmph, it’s just a diversion.”

Hu Zhi closed his eyes and spread out his senses. He easily picked up some unusual spiritual energy fluctuations nearby. With his strength, it was easy for him to locate the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation.

“Here.”

Hu Zhi looked at the empty space in front of him. He sent out his perception and clearly felt a semi-circular array formation here.

“So it’s here.”

A sinister smile appeared on Hu Ba’s lips. He had also felt the existence of the barrier.

“Ah Li, attack and break the barrier!”

Hu Ba did not attack. He was prepared for Victor in case he suddenly planned to attack or escape.

The man called Ah Li looked to be in his thirties. There was a slanted scar on his right face. He held a long spear in his hand.

“Wind Piercing!”

Ah Li used 70% to 80% of his strength in this attack. A green spear light whizzed out and heavily hit the barrier.

Boom!

The spear light shattered, and the barrier only trembled slightly. Complicated runes appeared, and then it returned to normal.

“Huh?”

Ah Li was stunned, and Hu Zhi also frowned slightly. This formation was quite mysterious, and it had an extraordinary origin.

..

At this time, within the formation barrier, Victor was sitting cross-legged under a big tree, adjusting his breathing.

He said to the pale-faced Bai Yulan, “You protect me, and I’ll start ingesting the Void Magic Stone right now!”

“You… really want to absorb the Void Magic Stone?”

Bai Yulan was stunned. This was simply an absurd idea.

The powerful enemy attacked, and the barrier and the ground shook continuously.

Under such circumstances, Victor was only at the tenth level of the spirit gathering realm. How could he absorb the Void Magic Stone that only foundation establishment cultivators could swallow?

This was crazy!

“Senior Brother Victor, how can this work? You are committing suicide!” Bai Yulan was anxious.

“There is no better way.”

Under the guidance of mental power, the red liquid in the crystal bottle flew out and condensed into red blood beads.

Victor also knew how crazy this decision was.

The Void Magic Stone was a completely unfamiliar spiritual item to him. He didn’t know what would happen if he swallowed it.

Regardless, he was confident that because of the existence of the Wood Spirit Embryo, he could make such a decision!

As long as he could hold on, the Wood Spirit Embryo would be able to quickly absorb the medicinal efficacy, and he could even breakthrough to a higher realm in one go!

Boom!

Along with a loud bang, a terrifying explosion sounded outside the barrier.

Within the barrier, Victor could clearly sense Hu Zhi’s attack. This kind of pressure was like having a ferocious beast pacing about outside a layer of fragile glass.

Under such circumstances, Victor had to absorb Void Magic Stones that were beyond his level, and he had to break through within a few hours.

Looking at the red liquid that was emitting a profound aura, he was intrigued.

However, as the red liquid approached, Victor could feel his blood boiling, as if he was being summoned.

What a powerful aura!

Gulp!

The ruby-like blood-red liquid flowed into Victor’s mouth.

As soon as it entered his mouth, a fishy and sweet smell immediately spread through his mouth.

Closing his eyes, Victor entered a meditative state. Whether it was the shaking of the earth or the loud explosion, it had nothing to do with Victor.

However, Victor’s state only lasted for a mere ten seconds. The sharp pain from the Wood Spirit Embryo woke him up.

Boom!

Countless fragments of scenes appeared in his mind. Every scene was extremely realistic.

On the wilderness.

Countless undead skeletons rushed over from all directions. Their bodies were like burning red metal. Thick chains were wrapped around their bodies, and they held all kinds of bone weapons in their hands.

At this moment, Victor himself seemed to have transformed into a god of war. His head was full of red hair, and he held an ancient halberd in his hand as he stood in the air.

The halberd was as thick as a child’s arm. The cold gleam on the halberd blade was unbridled, and it emitted a brutal aura that made one’s heart throb.

“Kill!”

The god of war raised the ancient halberd, and all the undead that rushed forward were shattered with a single strike of the halberd!

Every time he killed an undead, he would absorb the red spirit fire on the undead’s body. The soul fire in the hollow eyes of the undead that had been absorbed dissipated.

Their bodies would turn into ashes.

The blood-red soul fire dyed the sky red.

“Could this god of war be the master of the netherworlds?”

Victor’s heart trembled. He had a strong feeling that what he was seeing was not a pure illusion, but something that had actually happened, something that truly existed in the memories of the master of the netherworlds!

Then what were these undead, and where did they come from? What was the cause of this great battle?

Who was right and who was wrong?

“Haha”

Between heaven and earth, the wild laughter of the master of the netherworlds rang out. His imposing manner reverberated throughout the entire universe!

A willpower that could shatter the heavens erupted like a tsunami!

The long halberd pointed at the sky, his feet stepping on the earth. In the universe, only he was supreme!

Boom!

The battlefield of the undead shattered. Victor felt as if his spiritual world was about to collapse.

He opened his eyes abruptly, only to discover that his skin had split open, and his entire body was covered in blood!

Bai Yulan’s face was deathly pale. Seeing Victor open his eyes, Bai Yulan’s heart was filled with worry and joy.

“Senior Brother Victor, Senior Brother Victor…”

Victor wanted to open his mouth and say something, but when he opened his mouth, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

Victor finally understood the terror of this Void Magic Stone. It contained terrifying and pure energy, and at the same time, it also contained the remnant consciousness of the master of the netherworlds.

The double torture of the body and consciousness!

At the same time, the Nine Palace Heavenly Sky Formation’s barrier trembled more and more violently, and Hu Zhi and the others attacked more and more frequently.

However, Victor did not have the mood to care about these at all.

Boom!

His consciousness was once again in disorder. The remnant consciousness of the master of the netherworlds surged into Victor’s spiritual mind like a tidal wave, wanting to destroy it!

In the short span of a few breaths, the remnant consciousness bombarded him countless times, and a huge wave was stirred up in Victor’s spiritual world.

However, he managed to withstand it in the end!

The remnant consciousness of the master of the netherworlds was originally the most difficult obstacle for a cultivator who swallowed a Void Magic Stone to overcome. However, for Victor, it did not pose any threat to him.

After all, before this, every time Victor absorbed a downloaded full-grade talent technique, he would experience such a thing. It could be considered that he had developed mental resistance.
