The familiar voice rang out once again, saying, "We've figured out the route system here, now let's head towards that spirit tree."
"Alright, lead the way!"
"Ahead, to the left... the last road, the first road... the third road..."
In his search for this spirit tree, Xie Zhou had walked countless miles, his legs aching from the effort. He couldn't help but quip, "This is quite a workout! We've been walking for so long, and we still haven't reached the deepest part of this other-dimensional space. This space looks quite vast, with countless winding paths!"
"Indeed, but when you get to the deepest part, you will be amazed by the scene."
This system sometimes acts like a prophet; once you spend some time investigating the area, you can become completely familiar with the terrain.
It's still a cheat code!
Xie Zhou walked through this endless corridor and finally discovered several forks in the road ahead. With the guidance of the system, he slowly walked to the deepest part of the other-dimensional space.
As we ventured deeper into the area, we noticed a significant reduction in greenery, and the walls were covered with tiny, crystal-like specks.
Xie Zhou stopped complaining and continued walking forward. Soon she discovered a very large barrier that covered the entire alternate dimension.
"System, look, is this the deepest part? Why is it still protected by a barrier?"
She was about to slap it, but then cautiously withdrew her hand, fearing it might be another barrier like the ones outside, and that she would be discovered if she touched it.
"Yes, this barrier is not something that exists naturally; it is man-made. Take a closer look."
Xie Zhou then peered inside and, through the transparent barrier, discovered that the leader of the men in black was in the deepest part of the alternate dimension, holding a man in black in his hand.
The leader of the men in black stared greedily at the fear in his subordinates' eyes, and his deep voice carried over.
"It is your honor to dedicate yourself to the great God!"
"Ugh...No, no!"
"Forehead……"
Soon, the man in black was brutally suffocated by his evil clutches.
The remaining two men in black were filled with panic and fear. They stood back to back, one of them crying out, "Boss, how did you become like this? Didn't we agree that we would cultivate together after finding the Spirit Tree?"
"Hahaha... You actually believed my lies? If I hadn't tricked you all into coming here, everything I've done would have been for nothing! Don't worry, you're next. It's an honor for you to become his nourishment, you know?"
The leader had long since lost his mind, his face filled with thirst for spiritual power. His fingers tapped the spirit tree from time to time. The spirit tree, from top to bottom, was formed by a continuous flow of spiritual power, which was extremely abundant.
The leader of the men in black slowly approached the two lambs to the slaughter.
The silent footsteps and the crisp sound of bones cracking perfectly demonstrated the greed of desire before this sacred tree.
It turned out that the man in black had used a horrific method to kill the other men in black and use their blood essence to set up an array.
Xie Zhou quickly noticed that a few meters away from the barrier, there were unknown runes drawn in blood, just like the ones he had seen on the altar.
"What kind of trick is this person up to now? Is he trying to consecrate some kind of magical treasure again?"
The system responded, "I can only see part of this formation, and I don't know what it's trying to do. Why don't you break through this barrier and go inside to take a closer look?"
“Of course I understand all that, but I dare not touch this barrier. I originally wanted to catch him off guard, but to attack him first, I have to break this barrier. This barrier looks very large and sturdy. Where is its weakness? I haven’t found it yet. Can you take a look?”
Watching the leader of the men in black cut open the body of one of his men, blood gushing out, the leader seemed to cherish the blood, cupping it in his hands and drawing lines according to his plan.
He had already drawn many marks on the ground, and the blood that had flowed could stay on the marks, forming a pattern. Soon the summoning array would be completed, and a look of joy quickly spread across his face.
His hands were stained with blood, and a strange feeling permeated the air. He said, slowly and deliberately, "Hahaha... This is almost done, Lord... Lord... Can you feel this?"
Suddenly, the leader of the men in black quickly changed direction and glared at Xie Zhou. Xie Zhou was so frightened by the hideous face that he dared not make a sound. Then he retorted loudly, "You think you can scare me with just a face? I'm not easily scared!"
Seeing Xie Zhou's defiant attitude, the system teased, "Why don't you hurry up and break this barrier? I'm afraid he might rush out in a hurry and kill you, then use you to draw some formations."
"Shut up! Can't you wish me well for once? Hurry up and find the weak point in this barrier!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The leader of the men in black blinked, glanced at her a few times, and then continued with his work.
He meticulously set up a summoning array.
The summoning array was about to be activated. His face was contorted in a strange way, and his fingernails were already soaked in blood. Even the cleanest water probably couldn't wash it off.
As the system searched for the weak points of this barrier, it roughly saw what kind of formation he had described.
He immediately panicked and warned Xie Zhou, saying, "Xie Zhou! Quickly break this barrier! That formation can summon some kind of deity. Once activated, it will lead to utter destruction!"
Hearing about such serious consequences, Xie Zhou became anxious. He quickly circled around the barrier, opening his mental energy to search for weak points, wanting to interrupt the black-clad leader's spellcasting.
However, the leader of the men in black was surrounded by a barrier, so they couldn't let this thing delay them.
The system quickly identified the weakness.
"Found it. There's already a crack above the barrier."
"good!"
Xie Zhou immediately used his full strength to shatter the barrier surrounding the black leader, "Crack crack..."
The barrier quickly shattered, scattering debris across the ground.
The leader of the men in black realized someone was behind him and immediately rushed over, extending his bright red palm to engage Xie Zhou in a direct confrontation.
When Xie Zhou activated his mental power, he discovered that the leader of the men in black possessed both exceptionally strong physical and mental abilities, on par with her.
