Chapter 463: Chapter 463: They All Starved to Death!
The three of them could only feel cold sweat pouring down their bodies.
They had never seen such a powerful cultivator, not even heard of one until now!
A Great Achievement late-stage expert, they stood at the apex of the food chain across the whole continent, almost no one could pose a threat to them except their peers!
So, the three of them felt their legs wobble, thinking of fighting against him?
What a joke!
No chance in hell, not even a window of opportunity!
The expert of such a high level could kill a Jiang Xiaobai with just a puff of breath.
“Cough, cough!”
The old man continued to cough and finally stepped in front of the three. He lifted his face, and his cloudy eyes were dim and lightless.
“Heh, not bad, you actually made it this far.”
“For tens of thousands of years, I finally have some company.”
The old man squinted at the three of them, then his gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai. He looked at him carefully for a while, then pointed his finger at him.
“Lad, step forward, let me have a good look.”
“Venerable senior, I…”
Jiang Xiaobai wanted to say something, but he was sucked over by an irresistible force and instantly appeared in front of the old man.
The old man did not show any dangerous behavior towards Jiang Xiaobai, just looked him up and down, then grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s right hand and gently pressed it. Except for his thumb, the other four fingers of Jiang Xiaobai’s right hand were each glowing with the light of merit.
“Is this the thing from the legends?”
“Lad, you are indeed extraordinary, blessed with great luck, and possess a terrifying cause-and-effect relationship, surviving until now means your life is big.”
The old man chuckled, releasing Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the old man’s smile and couldn’t help but shudder: “Venerable senior, we really entered this place by accident. If we have offended you somehow, please forgive us.”
“There’s no offense or not, on the contrary, I was hoping that you guys would come,”
The old man gave a mysterious smile, turned around and walked into the mist: “Come on, I rarely have visitors, let me treat you well.”
“No need to overthink it, you guys won’t be able to get out of this mist. Besides, if I wanted to do something to you, could you resist with your paltry skills?”
The three looked at each other and finally gritted their teeth and followed. After all, who knows what kind of place this is. If there is a Great Achievement late-stage expert here, there could be other terrifying things.
Wandering aimlessly would be a death wish.
As they ventured further, the surrounding mist became denser and visibility was almost nonexistent. If it wasn’t for the coughs the old man made from time to time, they would have lost their way.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai felt that the two big bosses in his storage space were shaking violently.
Cognitive thoughts transmitted into his ear.
“Can you guys absorb this mist?”
“And freaking break through the seal of heaven and earth, awesome!”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help getting shocked.
Are you kidding me? There’s so much mist here. If the two big bosses absorbed the mist at this rate, to what extent could they ultimately enhance their strength?
He can’t imagine!
But one thing was certain, if they sucked all the mist here clean, and Jiang Xiaobai encountered the Guardian of the Holy City again, he could kill him merely by relying on Yuan Hong’s abilities.
But despite the excitement, Jiang Xiaobai knew that the situation was exceptional now.
He didn’t dare to act rashly before knowing the cause and effect. What if the Great Achievement late-stage expert in front suddenly lost control?
As he was thinking, the mist in front suddenly thinned substantially, and a large mansion appeared before them.
“Come in.”
The old man said, pushing open the door and revealing the scene inside, causing the three of them to be taken aback and not daring to move forward!
What they saw was countless bones!
They didn’t know how many there were, just that the whole huge courtyard was piled up with bones, with no place to even step on!
Faced with this scene, the three of them, let alone sit inside, they felt lucky not to run away immediately!
Seeming to feel the fear in the hearts of the three, the old man turned around and chuckled.
“Don’t be afraid, these people all died because they couldn’t bear the methods of this hellhole, as for me, I’ve never harmed anyone, initially, when I came in, I was just like you guys.”
“If you don’t believe me, feel for yourself, has your spiritual power solidified?”
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately checked clandestinely, and indeed, as the old man had said, their spiritual power was in a solidified state, and it was extremely difficult to mobilize any spiritual power!
If this continued, their spiritual power would become useless, and they wouldn’t be able to sustain even normal consumption!
For a moment, the three of them looked extremely pale. They never imagined that this place would be this strange.
Seeing their pale faces, the old man let out a wicked laugh.
“How is it, do you understand now?”
“I don’t need to do anything to you guys, it wouldn’t be worth the effort.”
“Do you know how these people died?”
“They all starved to death, hehe, they are Dividing-the-gods and Fusion-phase cultivators, yet they starved to death. Isn’t that just ridiculous?”
Upon hearing this, the three were taken aback!
Starved to death? Really? For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel relieved. In his storage space, there was plenty of food.
Enough for three people to eat for a year!
The three of them looked at each other and finally walked into the courtyard and sat on a pile of bones.
“Venerable senior, is there no way out of here?” Jiang Xiaobai asked as soon as he sat down.
“What do you think?”
The old man chuckled: “Don’t fool yourself. Even I can’t escape. ”
“Stop thinking about it, since you’re here, stay with me for a while. It’s a rare chance to have someone to talk to.”
The way he said it, it really felt like he was desperate to find someone to chat with. However, the situation here was unknown, and the three of them, not being idiots, didn’t believe a word the old man told them.
But the real problem was indeed there, which was that their spiritual power was constantly solidifying and they could hardly wield it now.
They estimated that after another hour, their spiritual power would completely become useless, unable to maintain normal expenditure.
Jiang Xiaobai tried to absorb the aura and the strange fog here by using his Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill.
He could indeed absorb it, but it was freaking useless!
Jiang Xiaobai could only use it to constantly absorb and enhance his strength, but it was so peculiar that spiritual power could not play a role at all!
In other words, he could only promote his strength in vain, but the hunger was still there, the thirst was still there!
“Damn, if it continues like this, what’s the use of me being able to elevate my strength endlessly? If I reach the Great Achievement late-stage like that old man, will I be able to not die?”
“Ao Cheng grumbled. But as soon as he finished speaking, the three of them thought of something and turned their gazes towards the old man.
“Why aren’t you dead yet?”
The three asked in unison.
Upon hearing this, the old man almost spit out three liters of blood on the spot, nearly fainting.
Who asks like that?
“If I must say, when one’s cultivation reaches the Tribulation Crossing late-stage, one can have a small amount of spiritual power to support life. At my stage, everyday life is not a worry.”
“It’s just that you’ll never be able to leave, that’s all!”
