Chapter 796: Continue Onward with No Fear

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was something they had completely failed to predict. It was like winning the lottery.

The Vast Land of Blood was absolutely massive, so the chances of the eyes in the sky turning to them really was like winning the lottery!

Except that this prize was quite terrifying.

Because the prize was death!

Ao Niu’s legs gave out, and it sprawled directly onto the ground.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan also turned pale with fright during that instant as their hearts skipped a beat.

What do we do?!

No one could remain calm in the face of this peculiar power that delivered death to everything it set its eyes upon.

Countless thoughts flashed through An Lin’s mind in a split second.

Black brick? No! The explosion from earlier suggested that this was a power that encompassed a large area. Therefore, it couldn’t be kept at bay by the black brick.

Another thought flashed through his mind, and he pulled out an extremely intricately crafted mirror.

This was a mirror with a beautiful frame as well as a glittering and translucent surface.

Come on out, Vermilion Bird Mirror!

An Lin aimed the Vermilion Bird Mirror directly at the pair of massive eyes in the sky.

No matter how bizarre the attack was, it could be reflected by the mirror as long as it was a spell technique!

Within the boundless expanse of darkness, a pair of massive eyes was reflected in the mirror, as if there were two pairs of eyes looking at one another…

Silence. Deathly silence.

There were no earth-shattering spell techniques that descended, so the mirror naturally had nothing to reflect.

The pair of eyes stared silently at the Vermilion Bird Mirror.

Rumble…

An Lin swallowed involuntarily as he held the Vermilion Bird Mirror, and he didn’t dare to make a single move.

Xu Xiaolan and Ao Niu were also completely stationary, as if they were afraid that the slightest movement would bring a cataclysmic disaster upon them.

This moment was like a still image.

After a while, the eyes that seemingly belonged to the sky began to slowly shut.

Everything vanished, and the starry night sky reappeared, as if none of that had actually happened.

If it wasn’t for the fact that An Lin could still see the destructive sea of crimson in the far distance, he would be doubting whether everything was just a hallucination.

“Moo? What happened? We managed to live?”

Ao Niu stood up with incredulity in its large eyes as it looked up into the starry night sky.

With a curious expression, Xu Xiaolan turned to look at the mirror in An Lin’s hand. “An Lin, did the Vermilion Bird Mirror’s reflection ability help us evaded the Heavenly Judgement?”

An Lin was just as confused as he tapped the surface of the mirror with a finger. “Hey, mirror, did you just reflect the Heavenly Judgement?”

Xu Xiaolan: “… So you don’t know either?!”

An Lin fell silent.

He was quite depressed. He didn’t even know what his treasure was doing. As its owner, he felt like he was quite a failure.

Thankfully, the Vermilion Bird Mirror didn’t completely ignore him this time.

“I did not use my reflection ability,” a crisp, tender voice said.

“However, I did get a familiar feeling from that pair of eyes,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror continued.

An Lin’s interest was immediately piqued. “Familiar in what way? Did you recognize each other?”

The Vermilion Bird Mirror shook lightly in response. “I don’t know, but it definitely was familiar.”

An Lin: “…”

It looked like he wasn’t going to get much more information than that.

An Lin suddenly recalled the Vermilion Bird Mirror’s other ability. “My all-knowing mirror, do you know where this place is? And what information can you provide us with?”

“My idiotic master, please don’t ask me stupid questions like this. I wouldn’t tell you even if I knew anything…” the Vermilion Bird Mirror replied in a firm voice.

An Lin: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Clatter!

An Lin threw the Vermilion Bird Mirror on the ground in rage!

What a sh*tty mirror! This was definitely a fake treasure!

Ao Niu was also shocked. It had had the privilege of seeing treasures capable of speech, but this was the first time it had seen a treasure rebutting its owner like this! It felt like its horizons had been broadened!

An Lin silently put the Vermilion Bird Mirror away. He always felt depressed after fighting with the Vermilion Bird Mirror.

“Should we continue?” Xu Xiaolan asked.

The events that transpired just then were extremely frightening. Even an extremely low probability event like being struck by the Heavenly Judgement had been encountered by them. There was a certain sense of foreboding about this, and Xu Xiaolan was becoming a little hesitant.

“Yes.” An Lin gritted his teeth. “Isn’t there a saying that the only way after hitting rock bottom is up? Our luck must’ve just plummeted to its lowest extreme just then, so there’s only good luck to come!”

Xu Xiaolan felt like this was reasonable, and her nerves were somewhat alleviated.

“Moo… Isn’t there also a saying that misfortunes never come alone?” Ao Niu retorted.

An Lin: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Ao Niu wanted to slap this cow to death!

The morale he had just boosted was instantly crushed.

“I think we really should have some roast beef,” An Lin suggested expressionlessly.

“I agree.” Xu Xiaolan nodded.

Ao Niu’s knees quivered, and it almost knelt onto the ground again…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan weren’t actually serious about roasting Ao Niu. Ao Niu was their luxury car. After riding it for so long, they had developed a fondness for it. Therefore, there was no way they would be able to bear roasting it for consumption.

Thus, Ao Niu continued toward the blood star with An Lin and Xu Xiaolan on its back.

The direction the yellow star was at was where the exit lay.

As such, An Lin was naturally quite curious about what lay at the end of the direction toward the blood star.

What was at the furthest point from the exit?

They passed through the boundless, undulating black land.

They encountered some Demonic Blood Beasts along the way as well as a black mist organism that was capable of tearing apart one’s consciousness from afar. Their auras were extremely faint, and their methods of attack were extremely peculiar.

Normal soul beasts and spirit beasts could quite easily fall victim to them before they even knew how they had died.

However, they encountered the hack lord, An Lin.

An Lin’s consciousness was among the most powerful, even among Return to Void Stage cultivators. All he had to do was to throw a Divine Might Technique toward these creatures, and they would implode on the spot!

Ao Niu’s confidence slowly recovered upon seeing An Lin’s feats of strength, and its speed steadily picked up.

As they continued onward, the location of the blood star overhead also seemed to change slowly, and it also seemed to become bigger and brighter.

“We’re getting closer to that star!” An Lin observed elatedly.

They could easily detect the changes in the location of the blood star overhead, which meant that it wasn’t all that far away!

Five hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers…

Before they knew it, the outline of the blood star had slowly materialized before their eyes.

“That’s not a star!” An Lin stared blankly at the “star” up ahead.

“Hmm… It looks quite flat, like a small patch of land.” Xu Xiaolan nodded.

That’s right, what appeared before them was a flat, floating continent that looked like a pizza smeared with too much tomato sauce!

As they drew closer, the floating continent expanded in their field of vision. They could even see some peculiar buildings on that floating continent!

Why were there buildings in such a bleak and desolate place?

This meant that living creatures inhabited, or they had once inhabited the floating continents. Also, according to their vast experience in exploring ruins, all the signs pointed to the notion that this was where precious treasures would be gathered!

After all, only through the activity of living creatures did cultural heritage get left behind.

With this in mind, An Lin immediately whipped Ao Niu’s backside with renewed vigor.

“Giddy up! Ao Niu, accelerate! Go to fifth gear!”

Slap!

“Giddy up!”

Ao Niu: “…”
