" You are right! Weaklings have no right to resist! As you see I honestly do not have much time to waste. now, you can die! " A calm voice came from a distance far away from the escaping duo. At a point in space, two figures stood facing each other.

The first was an old man who looked advanced in age while neatly dressed and looking dignified he had a pair of sinister eyes.

Well, the old man would've looked terrifying if not for the fact that he was missing an arm, his aura was weak, and fear filled his once sinister-looking eyes! "Wh-Who are you? Why would someone like you be here? ".

The old man said in horror and confusion, There was also some hatred as he felt the point where his arm was cut off by his other arm.

Meanwhile, Aldrich had regained consciousness at some point in time, he witnessed the sword light splitting the giant palm, Inwardly, he was filled with awe. That strength was amazing, that sword comprehension was even more astonishing!

After the palm attack destroyed the tunnel, Charlotte used the burst of strength she got from igniting her essence origin to form an energy barrier in a desperate act to protect their lives,

Schock waves from the fight in the distance merged with the chaotic energies in space and produced a spatial storm, seeing the energies collide and produce an energy storm in front of their eyes had both Charlotte and Aldrich having increasingly darkening expressions.

Such spatial storms were normal events to face when travelling in space, however, neither Charlotte nor her young lord was strong enough or even near the required level to travel in space.

It didn't take long for the spatial storm to engulf the duo, they were tossed and pulled away from the tunnel's exit.

disoriented the duo lost their sense of direction which was one of the easiest things to happen in such a situation, a while later the duo managed to split away from the spatial storm but not before suffering grievous injuries.

However by now, they were already an unknown distance away from the tunnel's exit, in fact, no matter how they looked, neither of them could find it,

Cough! Charlotte coughed out a mouthful of blood scarlet blood due to her injuries, meanwhile, Aldrich was in a better situation as most of the pressure was carried by Charlotte.

Suddenly, a black beam of light came from the distance and shot toward the duo, both their expressions changed, the power of that attack was enough to end their lives if struck.

Fortunately, the next moment a sword light flashed and the black beam was destroyed, causing a strong explosion.

Before Aldrich could even get happy that they survived such a disaster, the shock-wave from the explosion produced a much stronger spatial storm than the last one,

in its wake spatial cracks appeared.

The duo immediately prepared themselves to embrace the impact that would fling them away, blissfully unaware of the spatial cracks or its dangers, as a part of the space of the Myriad Dao Minor World the fabric of space there was not exactly strong, therefore, the appearance of a spatial crack from an energy wave at this level was not surprising.

Suddenly a strong suction force came from the crack as it devoured everything in its surroundings including two flabbergasted figures!

…

" Ahahaha, look at this! You came to save them, but you ended up killing them! ", a sarcastic laugh filled the space as a figure covered in darkness spoke.

A man in an ancient swordsman robe looked at the two men in front of him coldly. His body flashed as he appeared beside the spatial crack where Aldrich and Charlotte were sucked a moment ago.

" Even if it's someone our level, I never heard of anyone surviving a spatial crack! TSK now I'm feeling a bit disappointed I wanted to get that kid's head, it's worth several treasures in the Alliance. "

" ….. " The swordsman's face turned dark, eyes shining with gloom as he looked at the two men, undisguised killing intent was rising in his eyes.

" What are you looking at? you don't even know these two people yet you are middling in others's business, if you leave now I might just forget your actions " a voice came from the figure in darkness.

The old man beside the hazy dark figure had a repulsive grin on his face. The earlier fear in his eyes was completely gone, and replaced with arrogance and anger! " My lord, you should kill him, middling in our business he should be punished for his actions. ".

The swordsman looked at the two with a cold emotionless gaze " Punish me? We will see about that! " was all he said.

Meanwhile, the man raised his hand as energy gathered into a ball, a while later he threw the ball into the crack, and then it was swiftly absorbed and disappeared.

All along his aura engulfed his two opponents, if they happened to make the slightest of moves he would notice it immediately.

As he did so, thoughts ran through his head,

" The Grand Elder told me that the sword's secret lies somewhere here. But what is it? A person, an item, a treasure, a weapon, or a cultivation ground? ..... "

" ...I have searched for years, but nothing has caught my eye. Except for those two juniors I just met…one of them had a glimpse of intent. not fully formed but just a concept, yet I could feel how pure it is. I thought they might have a clue, but to think this got me into this mess "

" ...Well, if it's the mentioned one, then they won't fall here if they are not what I'm looking for..... anyway. I should go back! I have wasted enough time here that my cultivation has stagnated for a decade! ".

....

Usually, if a cultivator wanted to merely stand in the space of a world like the Myriad Dao World, cultivation at the Great Origin realm was sufficient, to travel for a short time cultivation in the Origin Ascension realm was enough.

However, that was the bare minimum, and it was still very dangerous, when igniting their Origins cultivators gain a burst of energy and in turn, they burn their foundations, More often than not after igniting their origin in the lower stages cultivators will suffer severe injuries and be left no better than cripples.

As both Charlotte and Aldrich were travelling through the space within the spatial crack, they both ignited their Origins to protect themselves, a second felt like an eternity as both were under extreme pressure, and not long after they both lost consciousness.

Once their energy lost the will that controlled it, their barriers dissipated, defenceless the spatial pressure caused the two unconscious figures to suffer more injuries, bones broke, veins ruptured and much more unseen damage.

At this point, two life-protecting items seemed to activate as they produced a glow that covered their bodies and resisted the spatial pressure in their place.

...

CRACK! CRACK!
