Chapter 1777: The Mystic Territory Collapses
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As Lin Huang’s consciousness returned to his body, the first thing he did was to contact Xiao Hei and the rest of the Goldfingers in his body.
“Did you guys feel anything strange just now? Like you guys had lost connection with me or something?”
“No.”
Xiao Hei answered almost without any hesitation.
The Soul-controlling Tablet, Eternity Fire and the rest of the Goldfingers gave the same answer.
In reality, Lin Huang had expected that answer, but he insisted on asking anyway just in case.
Just as he was about to ask further, the entire altar suddenly began to crack and collapse.
Not only that, the entire space started to tremble intensely. It looked like it was at risk of collapsing anytime.
“Let’s go!” Lin Huang said to Xia Bing.
At the same time, he arrived at the teleportation entrance which they had used to come in earlier directly in a flash.
Xia Bing arrived almost at the same time. The two of them stepped through the entrance one after the other.
Just as the two of them returned to the sixth level of the Abyss from the teleportation entrance, the entrance began to collapse rapidly before they could even turn around.
Within three seconds, the entrance vanished completely.
Lin Huang and Xia Bing were slightly relieved. At that moment, the surface of the mystic territory’s sixth level began to tremble as well.
The two of them locked eyes. They moved again almost at the same time. They went toward the fifth level’s entrance without any hesitation whatsoever.
When they had arrived at the entrance, the surface of the sixth level had begun to collapse.
They merely turned around to take a glance before heading straight to the fifth level.
Without waiting for anything to happen on the fifth level, they headed straight to the fourth level’s entrance.
When they arrived at the fourth level’s entrance, the surface of the fifth level began to tremble violently.
The two of them locked eyes and headed straight to the fourth level.
When they got to the fourth level, they headed straight to the third level’s entrance frantically before waiting for anything to happen to the fourth level.
Later on, they headed to the second level, and then the first, all the way until they had gotten out of the Abyss. It was only then that they stopped running.
“I wonder if it’ll affect the places outside of the Abyssal zone.” Xia Bing stood at the entrance of the Abyss and looked below.
“No matter what, this will be the end of the exploration this time.” Lin Huang looked at Xia Bing.
He hesitated for a while, but could not help but ask, “Did you feel anything strange, even for the slightest moment, when I was on the altar?”
Hearing the odd question, Xia Bing recollected the scene carefully and then shook her head in confirmation. “There was nothing strange. I only saw you absorbing that Abyssal energy and then the altar collapsed. After that, the entire space collapsed.”
“At any moment, did you suddenly not sense my aura anymore?” Lin Huang continued to ask.
Xia Bing shook her head in slight confusion. “No, why are you asking that? Did you sense anything strange?”
Lin Huang thought about it and decided to not tell her for the time being. “Nothing. I thought I’d just ask.”
Xia Bing did not want to give up and wanted to ask further, but more people were running out of the Abyss consecutively. The conversation between them ceased.
Most of the powerhouses who ran out headed straight toward the sky and left the mystic territory soon after. Only a small number of them stayed behind.
“I’m leaving too. Only a few hours remain until the end of the exploration period. It’s pretty meaningless to stick around.” Lin Huang headed toward the sky in a flash after saying that.
Xia Bing hesitated no longer and caught up to him in the sky when she saw him move.
It was simple to leave the mystic territory. All they had to do was to fly upward.
After they arrived at a certain height above the ground, they would leave the mystic territory automatically.
Very soon, Lin Huang left the mystic territory. He had once again returned to the boundless sky.
He removed his mask and disguise after leaving the mystic territory. He was now wearing the clothes and the look he had before entering the mystic territory.
Xia Bing got out less than three seconds after Lin Huang did.
After she got out, she glanced through the crowd of faces quickly. She looked away without stopping when she glanced at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang was relieved. She did not seem to recognize him.
There were a bunch of dao-level powerhouses who had escaped from the abyssal zone who came out almost at the same time as they did.
Most of the powerhouses from the different organizations did not leave immediately. Instead, they began a discussion in the air outside the mystic territory.
“What happened to the abyssal zone? Why did it collapse suddenly?!”
“That’s right. The exploration hasn’t ended yet. Theoretically, the mystic territory shouldn’t close so soon.”
“The closing of mystic territory never involved it collapsing directly. Instead, it should have been gradually enveloped by the fog.”
“Yes, such a collapse makes it look like it was caused by someone. Perhaps someone triggered something in the abyssal zone…”
…
Lin Huang felt a little guilty when he heard the crowd’s discussion.
Although he did not do anything bad, the collapse of the abyssal zone was caused by him absorbing the Abyssal energy at the altar after all.
As the crowd was still discussing, more and more people teleported out of the mystic territory consecutively.
Lin Huang saw many people that he was familiar with as well as those that he had met when he was disguised as the white-masked man.
Old Wang and Old He from Royal, Chi Yao and Yue Wu, as well as the tall and short brothers from Snow Kingdom.
Soon, Lin Huang heard more news.
After the abyssal zone collapsed, it very soon spread to the ground, the sea and other zones.
With the abyssal zone as the core and starting point, the collapse and disintegration spread outward in all directions throughout the entire mystic territory.
The people who initially ran out were only powerhouses who were hunting in the abyssal zone. As the collapse spread, almost all the survivors escaped one after the other.
This included Liu Fu who had just been elevated to minor dao-level.
He saw Lin Huang as soon as he got out.
He arrived before him in a flash and gave him a hug directly.
“You’re alive as well, bro. This is amazing!”
After letting go of Lin Huang, he began to whine incessantly, describing the tragic encounters he went through over the past one month.
Lin Huang could only listen in silence, while responding occasionally.
Most people chose to stay. They were chatting with the people they were familiar with as well.
Only a small number of them chose to leave immediately.
More and more people gathered in the sky outside the mystic territory.
Some ten minutes later, the mystic territory collapsed into fragments and then vanished quickly before the crowd’s eyes.
Nothing was left in its place.
However, at that moment, someone came to a realization that the major-dao level powerhouses from their organization had not come out.
“Where’s Master White Brow? Why isn’t he out?!”
There was a clamor on the Longevity Tribe’s side.
The other organizations slowly fell into chaos, including Royal.
Chi Yao glanced through the crowd and asked loudly, “Did anyone see Yan Jun?”
The people from Royal were shocked. Yan Jun was most probably dead if he had not managed to get out.
He was a major-dao level powerhouse!
Lin Huang looked at Wang Xuanan secretly. He had not told Chi Yao through voice transmission that Yan Jun was a spy.
Lin Huang guessed that he might not trust Chi Yao completely.
She could only move on since nobody answered her question.
After all, even White Brow was missing. Not only that, she had sensed a powerhouse scanning with Divine Telekinesis on the sixth level of the abyssal zone earlier. It was possible that Yan Jun had been killed.
As the organizations counted their members, they soon left the sky.
Lin Huang did not stay any longer. Instead, he headed over to his first stop in the universe directly—the Feister Star Zone!
