202: Chapter 201 Breaking Through the Encirclement

"Go first."

He watched as several large Red-Haired Monsters drew closer.

Ye Xiu gave a low shout and stopped, standing directly in the path ahead.

Seeing dozens of Red-Haired Monsters surrounding them, he didn't bother with words, gathering his full power and charging straight into the fray.

Roar...

Amidst the roars...

Dozens of Red-Haired Monsters, fearless of death, charged toward Ye Xiu.

Boom...

An intense battle erupted.

"Damn it, Xiao Ye, I will help you."

Xing Mu's Dual Pupils flickered, and a cold-gleaming sword instantly condensed in her hand as she turned back to join the battle.

"Why haven't you left?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. With his own strength, while he couldn't completely eliminate these Red-Haired Monsters, it wouldn't be impossible to leave if he wanted to.

Now that Xing Mu had returned...

Although she could provide significant help in terms of combat power, her presence would only make him hesitant to flee with his full strength.

"If I just left like that, wouldn't I lose a lot of Face?"

"...These monsters can't be killed. Are you going to stay and fight to the death?"

Ye Xiu was so exasperated he almost laughed.

Seeing a Red-Haired Monster charging, fist light gathered in his hand. A single Heavenly Emperor Fist directly vaporized it. Before the blood mist could re-condense...

He grabbed Xing Mu and immediately fled.

"Obscure all laws, reverse heaven and earth."

Seeing the Red-Haired Monsters in hot pursuit, Xing Mu's Dual Pupils flickered. With a soft shout, the pursuing Red-Haired Monsters immediately began to move backward.

Their time seemed to be grasped by someone, forcibly returning them to their previous state.

Roar...

The Red-Haired Monsters roared in unwilling frustration.

But no matter how they struggled, it was difficult to escape that state of artificially controlled time.

"Whoa... Impressive..."

Ye Xiu watched the retreating Red-Haired Monsters, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

This application of time could actually affect beings of this Rank.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

Xing Mu's Face was somewhat pale. In this Land of No Law, condensing the Dao of Time of this level had consumed nearly seventy to eighty percent of the Power of Heaven and Earth from her internal Main World.

The two did not dare to delay.

After forcibly breaking out of the area where the Red-Haired Monsters were, they moved rapidly toward the north.

Several tens of minutes later.

The Red-Haired Monsters stopped their backward movement.

Having lost their target, they no longer roared. They only looked around in confusion before wandering aimlessly once more in the deathly silent Land of No Law.

On the other side.

Ye Xiu and Xing Mu stopped after completely leaving the perception range of the Red-Haired Monsters.

"What kind of monsters were those..."

Xing Mu spoke with lingering fear. She had never seen those monsters covered in red hair in the history of the Main World.

"I don't know, but those things are definitely nothing good. They should be from The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea." Ye Xiu looked toward the area they had escaped from; those Red-Haired Monsters were still lingering there.

They were searching for the direction to the Boundary Sea.

If this group of Red-Haired Monsters were allowed to enter the Boundary Sea, it would truly be a disaster.

There were three large Red-Haired Monsters comparable to Half-Step Emperors, and dozens of ordinary Red-Haired Monsters equivalent to the Venerable Realm.

The most important thing was that these Red-Haired Monsters could not be killed.

"The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea?"

Xing Mu looked at Ye Xiu, her Dual Pupils flickering as if she were performing a deduction.

But as the deduction continued...

A layer of blood-red light quietly stained her pupils, making her look extremely eerie.

After a long time.

The blood-red light vanished, and Xing Mu sighed softly: "Your future is covered by a layer of blood-red light; I completely cannot see the path ahead."

"Could you show me some respect? Given my current strength, if I could still be easily deduced by you, then this combat power of mine would be for nothing."

Ye Xiu was somewhat speechless.

His growth had almost always been under the deductions of these big shots, which was how he reached this point.

Now his strength had nearly surpassed everyone.

If he could still be deduced, then they would be truly incredible.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. What should be seen has already been seen long ago." Xing Mu did not dwell on the topic.

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly and said nothing.

If anyone else dared to ignore him like this, he would certainly take offense.

In this world where strength is the only truth, the current him already had enough capital to be arrogant.

The two continued their journey.

Along the way, even if they encountered a lone Red-Haired Monster, they would intentionally avoid it.

Another dozen or so years later.

An eerie Dead Realm caused them to stop.

"An ancient stele with inscriptions?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised. They had already gone very deep into this Land of No Law. What was the deal with this eerie Dead Realm?

With some doubt...

He said to Xing Mu, "Let's go in and take a look."

"Don't. I feel like there are some strange things inside."

"What do you mean?"

Xing Mu did not reply. As her Dual Pupils flickered, the ancient stele in that Dead Realm immediately emitted a sky-piercing death light, instantly sucking all physical objects into the monument.

"This thing is a folded world; there is another universe inside."

"What is written on the ancient stele?"

Ye Xiu looked at the ancient stele emitting black death light, his eyes filled with a trace of wariness. Within this black death light, he felt a hint of pressure.

To be able to make someone of his cultivation level feel pressure...

What kind of scene would there be in the world inside that monument?

"Taixu."

Xing Mu slowly read out the characters on the ancient stele.

"Taixu?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, not quite understanding what it meant.

"It seems the path is correct. By going north all the way, perhaps we really can reach the Other Shore."

"Just because of this one monument, you're sure?"

"This is a Earth Monument. Taixu should refer to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea," Xing Mu explained.

Ye Xiu fell silent.

He had searched the memories of the Ominous Malice, and the information he obtained was not like this.

Wanting to enter The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea was definitely not as simple as going north all the way as Dong Huang said.

"Let's go. The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea might be right ahead. Let's hurry and take a look."

Xing Mu was very excited, urging him repeatedly.

Ye Xiu looked at the Taixu ancient stele in the Dead Realm, always feeling something wasn't quite right.

But he couldn't put his finger on exactly what was wrong.

He could only follow Xing Mu and continue heading north.

Along the way...

Nothing unusual happened again, and even the original skeletal remains in the Dead Realm were few and far between.

The two traveled for another dozen or so years.

There was still no sign of reaching the Other Shore. In this Land of No Law, besides endless Dead Realms, there were only more endless Dead Realms.

"Xing Mu... can you still sense the direction of the Main World?"

Ye Xiu's expression was somewhat solemn.

They seemed to be lost in this Land of No Law. After all this time, forget the Other Shore...

Even the traces of Gu's actions had completely disappeared.

This was not normal.

Xing Mu's expression was also not very good. She closed her eyes and sensed seriously for a while.

Then she sighed in relief: "Although it's very faint, I can vaguely tell the direction of the Main World."

"Let's go back. If we keep going, we will definitely get lost in this Land of No Law."

"Just leave like this? Maybe The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea is just ahead."

Xing Mu was somewhat unwilling.

Over these few hundred years, the two of them had put in a great deal of effort.

They had even seen the Taixu ancient stele.

The Other Shore should not be far off; she didn't want to give up.

"The Boundary Sea won't be ahead."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly without explaining much: "Go back. If we go further, it will probably be very hard for you to sense the direction of the Main World again."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' Let's go. Back to the Taixu ancient stele; maybe there will be new discoveries there."

"Alright then."

Xing Mu did not persist. After all, just as Ye Xiu said, her sense of the Main World was already extremely faint. If they continued...

She was afraid they truly would be completely lost in this Land of No Law.
