Michael glanced deeply at the countless pieces of stones of the Golem. He did not say anything and silently followed Lailah away.
Just as the two of them traveled several kilometers, they immediately felt several powerful presences appear behind them. They were all from magical beasts and Golems that had reached the Core Strengthening stage. Not too long afterward, another dozen or so weaker presences appeared from behind, all of which were at the Core Formation stage.
Michael looked back. Through the thin mist, he could see several human figures and silhouettes of huge magical beasts currently pacing mindlessly around the Golem. Michael understood that they were the same as the Golem: bions that were made an unknown number of years ago by the Dragon Clan. They had neither intelligence nor souls and moved about according to their instincts.
"Come closer and keep the death-kissed dragon's aura around us and don't make any signs to alert them. We may not fear them, but getting tangled with them will be problematic." Lailah whispered to him.
"Lady Alden, I can vaguely see humanoid creatures back there, what are those?"
"They are those who ventured into the Treacherous ocean and died many millennia ago. Just like everything else here, they too have no soul and feel no pain"
"Just how many of those things are there?" Michael asked another question. His face didn't have the usual cool smile as he seemed very serious. All these beings in The Treacherous Ocean possessed indestructible bodies. They felt no pain and had no fear. If the two of them were surrounded by these mutated beasts, it would be extremely troublesome or even life-threatening.
"The Treacherous Ocean has already existed for countless years. During that period of time, plenty of human experts and intelligent beasts have ventured into it. Some of these have fallen in search of or battling over treasure, while others have died simply because of The Treacherous Ocean. Over the years, the experts that have died in The Treacherous Ocean have already accumulated a terrifying number. Every person that dies here will become like them, immortal and unaging. As a result, the number of powerful beings in The Treacherous Ocean will only increase, and never decrease. Today, probably even powerful organizations like the Nine Great Clans have no idea about exactly how many Fusion stages or even half immortals there are in The Treacherous Ocean. The only reason we were able to make it this far is because of the aura of the death-kissed dragon. If we weren't surrounded by this aura, our presence would have alerted even more powerful mutated beings or the formations set by the Dragon Clan"
Michael felt even more heavy-hearted. No wonder Christopher became so afraid when he heard the mention of the Treacherous Ocean. While following Lailah, he couldn't help but wonder that if the second dangerous place was like this, how terrifying the Demon Grave would be, which is said to be the most dangerous place in this world. Even a Fusion stage cultivator survived here this long only because of the Death kissed dragon's aura. Otherwise, they could easily face life-threatening dangers with just a lapse in concentration.
"Whoa!" Michael's body jerked.
Suddenly, the scene before them changed greatly. The original island disappeared instantly, replaced by an endless desert. A flaming-red sun hung in the sky, scorching the ground with terrifying heat, raising the temperature of the entire region to a terrifyingly high temperature.
" We've fallen into a formation" Lailah furrowed her eyebrows and spoke with a deep voice.
Michael immediately unsheathed his sword and looked around for any activity vigilantly. He also ate some perception pills again, preparing for another battle. He had witnessed the horrors of The Treacherous Ocean so he did not dare to be careless at all.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. The ground where Michael and Lailah stood slowly began to sink into the ground and, at the same time, their feet were trapped by the moving sand, constantly sucking and dragging both of them underground.
"Fly!" Lailah spoke coldly. With a flick of a finger, a sound wave immediately collided with the ground, turning the sand trapping their legs into dust. She immediately began to float.
Michael did not hesitate either. He stepped onto the flying sword and put Arch energy into the sword. The devastating force of the Arch energy turned the sand into dust, propelling him out of the ground.
The sand below the two of them constantly sank down, forming a huge black hole. A putrid smell wafted from it. Just a breath of it was suffocating.
Soon afterward, the entire desert began to tremble violently before forming a weird but huge, almost two hundred-meter-long monster. The horrid gaping cavern below the two of them was the enormous mouth of the beast.
The monster seemed like a lizard that had been magnified countless times. It had light brown skin with countless cracks, radiating scorching hot. Its entire body seemed to have formed from sand.
"This is a region created from the fusion of a killing formation and an illusionary formation," Lailah mumbled softly. She could tell that it was all an illusion with a single glance.
"The formation here was cast down by experts of the Dragon clan. It's extremely well-hidden, so it can catch people completely off-guard. We need to be careful in the future. It's fortunate that the formation just then was not as powerful as before, or it wouldn't have been that easy to break free from it." Lailah said indifferently.
Michael nodded sternly. His fear for the formations was even greater than Lailah's. The illusions of Spectre were still following him and affecting his focus as the old man was so life-like. He did not fall prey to another illusion.
Several powerful presences quickly flew over from the distance at that moment, attracted here by the commotion, hurrying over from all directions.
