BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 - Very Soon!
The next moment thereafter, a cold deathly aura surge from those glowing runes as if those runes were going to devour Gordon whole.
This sudden turn of events would scare anyone to death, and they will do everything to escape the disaster, but Gordon stood there nonchalantly with a cold smile while silently observing those runes changing as if he was watching a clown show.
Suddenly those rune symbols turned into thousands of light streaks supporting immense prowess and powerful momentum, those streaks were fallen on Gordon like heavy rainfall.
However, Gordon didn\'t show any fear nor did his arrogant expression change even the slightest bit, he just flipped his hand and a palm-size black cube appeared with a golden rune symbol on each of its four sides.
The light rainfall already falls upon Gordon, covering him completely in blinding white light, if it was anyone else this would be the end of them but something magical happened the very instant those light streaks touched Gordon.
They shattered into small light partials without even leaving a scratch on him, furthermore, the mysterious black cube in hand was illuminating in golden luster.
However, the moment the last light streak turned into light partials, the black cube returned to its dormant state as if nothing happened.
"A Protection Talisman… who are you?!" A deep ancient voice reverberated like a thunder rumbling.
Gordon\'s calm eyes suddenly contracted after hearing this ancient voice and question back with a slight frown, "Who are you?"
From Gordon\'s memories, he knew this formation has somehow become berserk after some fool tried to take control of it, but he never imagined a consciousness living inside this formation much less this consciousness knew about the nature of the cube in his hand.
Because he especially created this Sky Protection Talisman that can encounter these sky-changing formations and was only useful here. However, only a few bigwigs of humanity like him know about this special sky protection talisman.
What he was more interested in, how could this person know about talismans since the talisman making wasn\'t taught in this place at all!
"You are a \'Royal\', right?" The ancient voice rang again, with no intention of answering Gordon\'s question.
People from Royal-Lands were known as Royals or People of Ancients by lower-level lands.
"And who might you be?" Gordon repeat his question again while silently admitting he was from the royal lands.
"Does it matter?" The ancient voice remained static, still refused to answer, "Tell me, is Humane Sage Lineage still around?"
Gordon frowned deeply hearing this question and his eyes shone with uncertainty as he thought, \'How did the owner of this voice know about Humane Sage as well, is he someone from the main family of one of the Azure Mainland Sects?\'
Many questions aroused in Gordon\'s heart, but he found it too unbelievable since someone from a sage linage couldn\'t be trapped here like this.
He thought for a moment and answered while probing, "Which Humane Sage are you referring to there are five and how did you end up like this?"
"Five?!" The ancient voice sounded startled as it was in disbelief.
"Who are you?" Gordon\'s voice turned icy cold as he thought this voice was messing with him.
However, this time no answer came nor did the formation act strange again, completely silent plunge the area.
Gordon waited quite a while before his patient reached its limit and coldly snorted, "Just a resentful spirit, I guess."
Without any further ado he moved on, pretending to be nonchalant, but he was still musing about the identity of that voice. He knew something was going on here he doesn\'t understand, and the formation might not be berserk as it seemed.
But he never heard of this kind of phenomenon before, \'I should investigate this matter and discuss it with the old man since he\'s a sage linage and this formation was also made by Humane Sages, he might be interested in it and know something.\'
Gordon can\'t control this main body while using his cultivation clone and if he retracts his consciousness, this clone would be turned to dust, and with it, Gordon as well!
That\'s why he also didn\'t dare to step into real formation and remain on the life path, he will not take any excessive risks with this clone.
At the core of sky changing formation, a naked bony man was sitting cross-legged right at top of the runic formation core, an ancient voice rang as it sounded lamenting, from the core of this formation.
"So, that traitor even changed history and create five Humane Sages while removing ancestor from the history. I should\'ve guessed this, since they can\'t get the forefather inheritance through me, they will hide it from others and bid their time trying to unseal it.
"But those fools don\'t know that formation can\'t be unsealed by the likes of them, even I wasn\'t able to crack it back then. Just wait my traitorous disciple, very soon your master will escape this formation after refining this soul body, and seek justice for my Clavus Clan. Very soon…"
If Ace was present, he would\'ve instantly recognized this voice because this was none other than Patriarch Empty Dream\'s other soul part, and it didn\'t seem as helpless as the one he encountered in the low sky-changing border!
---
At the same time when Ace\'s whereabouts were unknown after his confrontation with Gordon, in the edge of high-level lands, this place was filled with deadly formations and traps.
If someone crossed all these formations and traps that stretched for miles, they will reach a huge endless wall that was covered in runes.
This wall was known as the Royal Sky Changing Wall which was also the last barrier between high-level lands and royal-level lands but for some reason a few thousand years ago this royal sky changing wall was completely sealed off, cutting the connection with royal-level lands completely.
Not one knows about this matter since it was kept under tight wraps and only leaders of three giants know about it or some old monster who were in hibernation for thousands of years since it would slow down their death.
For thousands of years, the three giants were trying their best to break open this formation wall and create their connection with the royal lands again because if this news of royal land cutting the connection with lower lands and probably caged them here were released to the public it would cause a huge, unstoppable upheaval!
Because three giants only regain their statues till now because those powerful empires fear their background not them and if they even get the wind of this huge matter, everyone will band together to plunder their resources without even caring about the consequences!
That\'s also why the three giants create thousands of traps and formations around the sky-changing wall, so those people can never reach the main formation wall and found out about their biggest secret.
The reason for the three giants hunting Ace was also this exact reason because he could escape the low sky-changing formation alive, and they all wanted to capture him alive, so they could find out if Ace could help them escape this formation as well.
But alas, they still didn\'t know all those people they send after Ace was dead, and Gordon probably took away their chances of connecting with the royal lands again after nearly killing Ace.
However, this had nothing to do with this black-cloaked individual who was standing not far away from the endless wall, this person somehow reached this royal sky-changing wall despite all those formations and traps!
"So, this is the final boundary between royal-level lands." A lovely voice exclaimed in awe.
"Hmph… what a waste of resources creating all this formation and then that wall just for some scheme or personal motives. Heh… typical human behavior." An old voice sneered in disdain from this person\'s mind!
"Senior, where is that ancient path you told me about, and are you really sure we should leave without retrieving the map stolen by that scoundrel?" the beautiful voice questioned with uncertainty.
"Hmph… let the thief keep it safe for us and once you\'ll retrieve my full inheritance from Beast Continent, you can always retrieve it back and took revenge on that thievish brat. Besides, that brat is the perfect sacrifice and with that map on him, we can easily find him when the time comes. Similarly, it is useless in any human hand since you know that location is in --- continent!"the old voice harrumphed coldly.
"It was indeed my fault for being ignorant, I\'ll definitely live up to your expectation and take my revenge on that bastard and pay him back for this mark he gave me!"
The beautiful voice was filled with resentment as she looked at her slender snowing ring finger and there was a tattoo of an imposing owl!
"Don\'t worry once you kill that brat this mark will definitely disappear, now follow my instructions closely if you take even half a step wrong you\'ll be dead!" The old voice solemnly warned.
The cloaked figure vanished in the depth of the royal sky-changing wall.
