CHAPTER 21: FOG EATS HUMANS
Moving away from the place where the two people hid.
Continuing with that thought, I walk calmly for four more hours, through this place the screams and sounds of anguish, as well as supplication, began to be heard very closely.
Adrian simply moved away, until he came to a place deep in the fog.
"Spiral Sect Greenhouse, Pill Lord's ally" – Adrian read the name on the door, which was destroyed.
At the same time, the view was filled with multiple corpses, which had fallen before taking a step inside.
He took several quiet steps.
Before stumbling upon countless plants.
"Are these all spirit plants?" – Adrián wondered, there were many of them, perhaps thousands. It seemed that they had never been touched. However, from the corpses at the entrance, Adrian knew that this place must be very valuable to the fog.
After all, you could feel the spiritual energy of all these plants.
Adrian thought very well about all his movements. Before carefully reaching out to a nearby plant.
Underneath the plant it said "Dew Plant of a hundred years"
However, when his hand was a few inches away from touching it, the fog stirred strongly, launching a withering attack on Adrian's hand.
At that moment, I immediately put it away. But the fog was very careful with all these plants, Adrian activated his aura a little, making the fog recede by his own instinct.
It seemed that she was even willing to attack Adrian, despite her great fear.
Adrian needed a lot of plants, and here they were all located.
He knew that he wasn't an opponent for the mist, he also didn't know why he didn't kill him, perhaps the technique he cultivated had something to do with this.
But, now he was in a great dilemma. He was no match for the fog, yet he had to try.
"I just need some plants" – After saying such words.
Adrian activated the myriad mountain cultivation technique, the aura of his physical body explosively surging, as he moved his hands towards the nearby plants. Grabbing several by force.
The fog at that moment exploded into great anger, as if his instinct told him that no matter what happened, he couldn't let these plants be stolen.
His sense moved even faster than any beast.
A large number of hands made of mist formed very quickly, throwing themselves against Adrian. A dead body was touched by the fog and several parts of that body disappeared.
Adrian knew how the fog acted, the fog could eat a human being in a second.
At that time he had no other way of escape.
With the great strength of his body. I activate his only technique.
"CRUSHING MOUNTAIN!" – Adrian didn't know if it would work, but he wasn't going to do anything and die in vain.
But the next moment, everything within a 10-meter radius around him fell with crushing pressure.
The fog feeling such pressure again, felt terrified, even if it was not as strong as before, the memories were still present.
All the fog around him receded in an instant, and at that moment Adrian exploded with great speed.
This was his great opportunity to escape, now that he had reached the third level of Qi condensation, he could last for a minute with the technique activated.
However, the abnormalities in his body increased.
Like an arrow, it shot outwards.
The fog twisted with fear, but at the same time, his anger made him form hundreds of hands, which plummeted towards Adrián before disintegrating.
"I must be faster" – As he said such words, he forced his body to a higher speed, all of his muscles began to react violently, only to run a little faster.
But in the depths of the mists, a thunderous, terrifying roar echoed, before hundreds of wisps of mist rose into the sky.
All of this began to converge in one gigantic hand, the ground trembled as an impressive pressure descended on this entire area.
Adrian knew he was in trouble, but he was only a mere cultivator of the third stage of Qi condensation.
Soon in his head, he began to evaluate the possibilities, as a hand the size of the city formed with all the fog gathered inside. The roar of an angry beast sounded, as the mist hand descended as a divine punishment.
For Adrián this already meant his death, he could not escape from this place, even if he wanted to. The fog would not allow it. Throwing all his power and strength against Adrián to recover what belongs to him.
The palm of mist in the sky descended resoundingly, as if a giant fell, suddenly the day turned to night. And a great force made the ground tremble.
Adrian did not look, he just kept running as if his life was in maximum danger.
"Because I am always involved in life or death situations" – Adrián said sarcastically, while feeling the terrifying power of such a palm.
Large amounts of blood came out of his mouth as the palm approached, his body couldn't withstand such pressure, until he fell to the ground being crushed by the immense difference in powers.
Adrian had no way to escape, his body was crushed at every moment.
But even so, his gaze showed resignation to die, he still did not want to die, he could not yet, he had not done anything he had ever promised.
He didn't want this to be his end.
"Buagh!"
Such resignation was placed in his gaze, as he was crushed and the impending sensation of death filled him, however, suddenly in the depths of his being.
The mask on his face let out a purple glow.
It was only an instant, but it made him stop all the time.
Suddenly from the mask, the shape of a person manifested, you couldn't see who it was, he simply directed his gaze towards the palm.
His aura changed completely, as an ancient voice manifested as he spoke.
"The heavenly devil looked at all living beings with disdain, ruled for ages, but in the end disappeared, only his legacy continued" – Suddenly an ancient tale was told in this part of the world. It was a very old voice, which sounded hoarse and aged.
"A truth imprisons the world, a truth brings life back" – The more he spoke, his aura expanding madly, as he enveloped every inch of the palm. The fog, he couldn't know anything about what was going on, because even for him, time had stopped.
Such a being simply pointed to the palm and recited a few words.
"Absolute truth!"
When the voice spoke, everything around it began to return to normal, but one word appeared in the fog palm, this was "truth" written with a meaning as old as the world itself.
Suddenly the fog felt that something was wrong, it roared madly, as an even greater force descended into the world, it was as if a sun had manifested itself in his being, it began to burn everything, and to everyone, the ground began to be enveloped in golden fire, while the word "Truth" lit like an eternal flame.
The fog couldn't withstand such a level of power, that it simply screamed, and being so desperate it cut off all that fog it had gathered, cutting it off from its own body.
Whoever looked to the north of the city, could see a golden flash manifesting as if a celestial being had descended upon mortals.
The ancient being simply sighed, while looking at Adrian, who was also looking at him with his last consciousness. Adrian wanted to say something, but he felt his body lose strength, he was about to lose the shred of consciousness he had left.
"Remember, the first one disappeared, the fourth died, the tenth lost himself, the fifteenth is still alive" – After saying such words, the ancient being disappeared as it was blown by the wind, as if it could finally rest in peace.
The consciousness of the fog roared violently, as it separated large parts of fog into various sections.
But the whole palm, which had the word "truth" on it, could not be removed.
The next moment, a change happened.
