Chapter 351

Others might not know, but Luo Li was very familiar with the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei.

While it was called a space, it actually contained different spacetime nodes.

Although they hadn't reached the core area yet, it was only a matter of distance and had nothing to do with the essence of the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei.

Luo Li reached out and tore the space, and cracks continuously appeared on the pitch-black, mirror-like space.

The group watched this scene in awe, able to see the scenes of flowing light continuously coming from within the torn space.

They couldn't see clearly at all; their brains couldn't accept so much information and thus blocked it out.

However, this difficulty didn't apply to Luo Li; he seemed to be searching for something.

After a moment, Luo Li's eyes darkened slightly.

"Found him."

Following his words, a green figure was forcibly pulled out from the torn space by him.

Short hair with gradient highlights, a handsome youthful appearance, and a glowing spear in his hand.

Without a doubt, it was Xiao, who had entered the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei one step ahead of the others.

He knelt on the ground, his breathing slightly disordered, and there were even some small wounds on his body, but they didn't affect his mobility much; they could only be considered minor injuries.

Paimon was very surprised: "Xiao, how did you end up like this?"

Too busy to marvel at Luo Li's ability, she was drawn to Xiao's appearance.

At this moment, Xiao looked at the people in front of him in confusion.

It wasn't until he met Luo Li's gaze that he understood the current situation.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."

Help?

Luo Li was a bit surprised. Logically speaking, the danger level of the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei set by Guizhong shouldn't be high. At least for someone of Xiao's level, it was more about trapping than killing.

"What did you encounter? Tell me."

So Xiao said, "I just encountered an extremely strange space. After breaking through the domain, there were monsters everywhere, including many monsters of the King Beast level. What's amazing is that they were like wandering souls after death; even if killed, they would quickly revive."

"I hadn't been inside for long before Your Highness brought me out. Thanks to that, the injuries I sustained aren't serious..."

A domain space full of monsters?

Everyone present was shocked by this news, except for Yelan, who seemed to remember something, her expression quite serious.

Seeing the change in her expression, Yanfei asked subconsciously: "Yelan, do you know something?"

The short-haired woman nodded slightly in the face of the gazes cast by the crowd: "Some of you may not know, but The Chasm was the main battlefield against the Abyss disaster five hundred years ago. My ancestor, Boyang, participated in that battle and eventually fell here."

"But because there were so many monsters, even the Millelith fighting to the death was of no avail. Finally, they discovered an aura suppressing the Abyssal monsters deep underground, so they sent a group of people to fight and lure them, and used a treasure to seal the monsters here. I suppose that must be the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei that Yanfei is looking for."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Looking at Yelan's expression, her ancestor Boyang was probably among that group of people who knew they were going to die.

"You suspect those monsters are the ones left over from back then?" Kuki Shinobu suddenly interjected.

"That's right. Everyone might have noticed that we can't feel hunger or thirst in this strange space. It seems like time is stagnant, including our physical state, forever remaining at a certain moment."

Yelan had observed for a long time before finally stating her guess: "After entering the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei, if there is no external force to change it, one will exist eternally at one moment, unless attacked by an external force like the Conqueror of Demons. Otherwise..."

Yanfei keenly continued: "It will never change!"

If one were to speculate according to what Yelan said, it wouldn't be impossible for the monsters to have survived for five hundred years.

But this didn't quite match what Xiao had just described; those monsters were all phantom-like existences that reappeared after dying.

Moreover, this place located underground, whether it was an ancient civilization or something special, could significantly weaken the power of the Abyss. Staying here for a long time would obviously lead to assimilation and annihilation.

So it was more likely that the monster horde had all died, but for some reason, they had become phantoms enslaved by the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei.

Everyone talked at once, slowly guessing a result that was acceptable.

Luo Li listened silently for a long time, finally confirming their thoughts, but...

"Even if you know, it's useless. Instead of worrying about these things, it's better to consider how to get out of here."

One sentence woke the dreamer.

The group then remembered that without him, they would all be trapped here to death.

If they wanted to continue exploring, breaking through the cave was a must.

"The puzzle here must have something to do with those doors, right?!" Arataki Itto's brain worked well for once, and he pointed to the doors and asked.

"Although I really want to despise you, this time I agree with your guess."

Paimon crossed her arms and glared at him sideways.

She hadn't forgiven this "cow herder" for the argument just now; she had to maintain her persona and stance.

Unless this guy apologized to her, Paimon was determined to ignore him for a long time.

"Let's go in and see."

Compared to the hesitant group, Luo Li was much more carefree and bold, heading straight for the first door.

What it meant to be bold because of one's skills: knowing that this place couldn't bring him any danger, he just charged through. Thinking too much was useless.

The first stone door opened directly as he approached, revealing the chaotic scene inside.

The group looked at each other and, finding that Luo Li was already prepared to step into it, quickly followed, fearing they would be left behind.

Inside the door!

When Luo Li stepped into it, the originally chaotic scene suddenly changed.

An ancient battlefield slowly appeared before their eyes, with dense monsters emerging from afar, surging like a tide.

This scene made everyone except Luo Li's scalp tingle.

The pitch-black "tide" was enough to swallow everything.

But the next moment, the group's perspective changed.

A bright yellow figure replaced their perspective; he was wearing attire somewhat similar to the Geo Archon, with a tall stature.

Luo Li recognized his identity at a glance, while Xiao gasped out the name with a changing expression.

"That is... Menogias?!"

That's right, that figure was one of the five Yakshas who were also part of the Yaksha guardians, the Mind-Ape General who controlled the Geo element—Menogias!
