Chapter 267 Breaking Free from the Cage 10
Chapter 267
Lin Xia and Mu Xue attacked almost simultaneously, killing all the people on her side who had absorbed the crimson light and were about to cause trouble.
The others trembled and stopped, all shrinking to the side, relieved that they didn't have to fight so hard.
Those who originally intended to secretly absorb the light orb all instantly became obedient.
The two looked at each other, and Mu Xue smiled gently: "It's so good to see you doing so well now."
Lin Xia smiled gently: "How about we work together again?"
"Of course!" Mu Xue waved her hand, enveloping the two of them in a separate space.
"How did you get here?" Lin Xia asked, puzzled.
"I don't know either. I was suddenly teleported in. At that time, I was defending against enemies in the void." Mu Xue was also puzzled.
"The void? How many years have passed since I left?"
"It was more than seventy years after you left. Thirty years after you left, the beast race finally disappeared. Our previous guess was correct. He Rui, me, and the elders tried countless times before we finally shattered the array that surrounded the dream space."
"In the time that followed, our strength indeed improved by leaps and bounds. He Rui held the gate tightly, while the strength of the beastmen continued to decline."
"The number of intelligent beastmen is decreasing, and the plant race has not appeared at all."
"Their appearance and destruction were both sudden and rapid. Some people speculate that they were not alien species at all, but native species, which is why they had the ability to seize the subconscious sea of civilization."
"Moreover, after the beastmen disappeared, that space also disappeared, and the energy on the planet became increasingly thinner for unknown reasons."
"We suspect that it was all premeditated, that there was someone behind it, but unfortunately, we found nothing."
"After that, our development was very slow. We no longer had a common enemy. You know how it is with humans, so our strength developed much more slowly than before."
"Because of the reduction in energy, there are fewer and fewer people who can cultivate, and even fewer people with good talent."
"We thought the disasters in our world were over, and that even if we only developed technology, human life would not be a big problem. But we never expected that another disaster would come."
"More than ten years ago, monsters invaded. He Rui discovered the portal they used to invade in the void. Our array formation skills were not enough to repair that damage."
"The speed of repair can't keep up with the speed of destruction, but fortunately, our strength has increased a lot over the years."
"We can only send people to guard the area and clean it regularly. This time it was my turn to be on duty, and I was just about to change shifts when I was suddenly teleported here." Mu Xue was very puzzled.
Lin Xia nodded. Sure enough, the timelines were all messed up.
She told Mu Xue the news she had heard from Zeng Zhi, and Mu Xue frowned: "Become a god?"
The two discussed cultivation issues and estimated their strength. Mu Xue's current strength, if converted into data, was only around 5000.
The energy they had wasn't enough to support her breakthrough.
According to Mu Xue, her cultivation has stagnated for many years, and any attempt to break through will be interrupted because she lacks sufficient energy.
Coming here this time actually helped her break through a barrier.
Lin Xia knew that the disaster in Mu Xue's world had actually been continuing all along, but they couldn't find the source.
She told Mu Xue about her experiences, and Mu Xue understood, but there was nothing she could do. She hadn't noticed it at first, and with the ebb and flow of events, it was impossible to discover it later.
After catching up, the two began to discuss the current situation.
Amidst the chaos, Lin Xia had already probed the mental seas of many people and obtained the same information as Zeng Zhi.
But to be honest, Lin Xia didn't really believe it. After all, it's not that difficult to fabricate memories in someone else's world.
After discussing it with Mu Xue, they decided to try to break through the spatial barrier first.
Mu Xue's spatial mastery was indeed profound; despite her limited strength, she still managed to comprehend many skills and techniques.
Lin Xia shared what she had learned from 'Mu Xue' with her, which greatly benefited her.
Since going to the 'Colosseum', Lin Xia has learned about spatial coordinates. Once inside, he knew the coordinates of his own world and a lot of other spatial coordinates.
What she wanted to do was spatial teleportation. Originally, she wasn't entirely confident and wanted to see how things went, but now that Mu Xue was there, she felt much more confident about succeeding.
There's no time like the present, so the two chose a spot and worked together. Instantly, the space appeared as if it were about to shatter, resembling spiderwebs.
Just then, the whole world fell silent, even the spatial distortion stopped.
The two looked around at everything around them: sand, humans, ghosts, and even the space itself was shattered.
Lin Xia and Mu Xue appeared in the formation in the blink of an eye. Besides the two of them, there were three other people present.
They were at the center of the formation, and at that moment all nine spaces lit up.
The group looked at each other warily. Before they could exchange words, the formation was activated, and a huge suction force came from the outside in.
Lin Xia sensed that what was surging towards the formation was countless energies and...spiritual entities.
They roared and screamed, their entire spiritual bodies shattered, some even emitting black smoke, their eyes filled with malice and curses.
But whatever it was, it was ruthlessly crushed and transformed into energy, opening up the subconscious sea of this world, and countless energies surged forth.
The five people, realizing their predicament, all changed their expressions drastically. It turned out they had never left this place; everything they had experienced before was merely an illusion...
An illusion? Lin Xia wondered in surprise. What about Zeng Zhi? How could Zeng Zhi have said those things to her? Who said those things to her? Why did they tell her, and what was their purpose?
Countless questions flooded his mind, but Lin Xia had no time to think about them, because the formation was about to be activated.
An array activated by the energy of the entire world—whatever its purpose, the thought of it sends chills down one's spine.
No wonder she couldn't get any information about the formation; in fact, she had been scheming from the very beginning, and the purpose of her scheme was to lure her here...
She could already sense that her mental body was becoming unstable, and the subconscious sea to which it was connected was showing signs of loosening.
Three lights had already illuminated the array at the center. Mu Xue's spatial array had been enveloping the two of them, and she looked at Lin Xia with some helplessness.
Looking at Mu Xue's appearance, Lin Xia suddenly realized something, but it was still unclear.
Across from them, a person was screaming while clutching their head. Their spirit had collapsed and was being possessed by some unknown consciousness. They had fallen silent, and a mysterious fluctuation emanated from their body.
He appeared for only a moment before his body exploded with a 'bang,' splattering several people with blood.
That fluctuation... Lin Xia's eyes widened. She understood; she had guessed wrong again! This formation didn't need their world's subconscious sea at all!
