Even the sunlight that occasionally loses its way and spills onto the Ice Plains has no chance of penetrating the Abyss. Although Zhao Li's vision wasn't affected, he could still feel the deep solitude of the place!
The cliffs on both sides were like sturdy Barriers, their presence forever trapping the night within this bottomless Canyon.
Zhao Li walked through it step by step, his senses fully open, unwilling to miss any detail. He walked for a long time but still hadn't seen the White Bear from before. He stopped and tried to contact Zhao Li.
"As expected, I'm no longer in the Space outside."
Just as he'd predicted, despite being separated by only a Canyon, his connection with his True Form was already extremely weak. If he hadn't been one of Zhao Li's avatars, this meager connection would probably have been severed.
Knowing that he had unknowingly entered a Pocket Dimension didn't surprise Zhao Li. As early as when he first saw this Canyon that wasn't within his perception, he had already made some guesses about the place – either it was a Formation, a Pocket Dimension, or both.
Now, he had merely confirmed what he had thought. Next, it was time to explore the secrets of this place.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
In the darkness, a cold Wind swept over, making Zhao Li shiver. His eyes narrowed slightly. This Wind seemed to have a special effect on the Soul. He had only been brushed by it, yet he felt a long-lost chill.
And this eerie Wind was everywhere in this place!
"I can't drag this out for too long, otherwise this Divine Will of mine might be dissolved."
Listening to the howling Wind around him, which sounded like notes of death, a sense of urgency rose in Zhao Li's heart. He didn't delay further. Even if he were to be dissolved, it would be worth it to uncover some secrets of this place, wouldn't it?
As Zhao Li intruded into this Space, a vague, formless Phantom in the dim Space opened its eyes. Even in this dark and lightless place, its eyes still gleamed with a faint light!
"Heaven hasn't abandoned me, someone has finally come... Heh heh, this world is ultimately within the grasp of my Nine Nether!"
In the darkness, the person was unseen, only their voice echoed in the place. As the voice spread, several more eerie Winds suddenly howled through the area.
Zzzzzzzz—
The howling Wind seemed to be entangled with something, as if eroding something. A sizzling sound, like acid on Water, came from The Void.
"Hmph, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, that must have been your final struggle, right? Unfortunately, before I was annihilated, another living being walked into this Space!"
The unknown existence let out a pained grunt, then looked in a certain direction, a visible eagerness appearing in its eyes.
"Closer, closer, come, come here to me..."
Looking at Zhao Li walking on the prison, a long-lost feeling of relief actually appeared in his heart. If it had been twenty years later, he would have truly dissipated!
But just when he thought he could only watch himself slowly dissipate, Heaven seemed to play a joke on him. In the final years of his Demonic Life, it allowed someone to intrude into this realm.
As long as someone came here, he would have a chance to leave!
He stared intently at Zhao Li. As long as he approached a certain distance, his subsequent actions would no longer be up to him...
In the darkness, there was no alternation of Sun and Moon, and everything seen was the same scene. The existence of Time had become extremely blurred. Zhao Li initially tried to keep track, but later simply gave up because it was meaningless.
He didn't know that he had been targeted by an unknown existence from the moment he entered this Space. He also didn't know how long he had been wandering in this dark Space. He only knew that as he walked, he had only one feeling – this place didn't seem to be a place for living beings to survive. It seemed to exist solely for destruction!
"Could it be that this place is truly a seal? The existence of these eerie Winds seems to be specifically for wearing down Emperor Realm Souls. If it's a seal, I wonder how long it has existed and whether the existence sealed within has managed to hold on."
He had explored all the way and found that the Dou Qi here was almost zero. Even the little Dou Qi that remained was swept into the strange Wind Scroll, becoming its power and constantly howling through the area.
And since those eerie Winds were the only visible things here, he naturally didn't let them go. He even walked into them himself. At that time, he had only one feeling: the Wind was like light and heat to the Ice Plains outside!
Enduring the pain of his Soul being burned and dissolved, he seemed to understand their purpose – to wear down Souls that were otherwise indestructible by ordinary means!
This discovery made him increasingly believe that this place was a seal, because a certain existence was too powerful to be killed and could only be eliminated by this method.
Although the amount of Soul it wore down each time was negligible, its infinite quantity was overwhelming. And it was painful. Over countless years, even if it was just a wisp at a time, it would be enough to divide up an Emperor Realm Soul.
"If it's a seal, where is its core? How do I leave?"
Zhao Li had the idea of exploring the secrets of this place from another direction, looking for its flaws.
Although he felt the hope was slim, after all, if it were so easy to find a flaw, how could a terrifying existence be sealed?
"Alas, I didn't expect that a moment of curiosity would lead me to walk into a Net. I'm probably now something to be refined within the seal, right?"
Zhao Li shook his head but didn't feel any despair. The dissipation of this avatar, although it had some impact on him, could be condensed again with some resources, so there was no need to be overly timid.
Thinking of this, he no longer had the cautiousness he had before. He was ready to explore boldly. Even if he were to truly dissipate here, he should at least gain something.
Of course, the main reason was that in this strange Space, apart from the howling eerie Winds, he hadn't felt any other potential threats.
With no worries, Zhao Li's exploration speed significantly increased. He simply chose a direction, heading wherever the Wind was strongest, until he entered a certain area where the surrounding Wind suddenly seemed to become regular.
"Hmm? These Winds seem to be heading in the same direction?"
He saw that the eerie Winds ahead were not coming towards him but were heading in the same direction, which made him feel some Doubt, so he stopped.
He didn't immediately walk forward but turned around and looked behind him. The two places were clearly not far apart, but the eerie Winds within them were completely different.
The Winds behind him, although numerous, looked very scattered, like wild horses on the prairie, running and blowing wherever they pleased. The Winds in front of him didn't look much different from the ones behind, but they seemed to have been bridled, specifically heading towards a target!
"Could it be that the core of the seal is ahead?"
This obvious change made Zhao Li's heart stir, and he began to guess. After weighing it for a while, he strode into it. Not being afraid of death gave him such Confidence.
Just as he crossed the clear dividing line, he suddenly felt a surge of Soul Power rushing towards him. It was like an arrow that had been building Momentum for a long time, and in an instant, it rushed into his mind.
"You're finally here, my dear Demonic Servant brother!"
