Free Web NovelChapter 685: Chapter 302: Slaughtering a Million Soldiers in One Day
The Boundary River is not like any river commonly seen by the world; in reality, it is a zone fractured by time and space.
In the Sea of Illusion’s eye, the reason so many layered spaces appear is that they are sliced apart by various spatial turbulences. These turbulences eventually gather at what is known as the Boundary River.
In reality, every point where spaces connect is considered a ’tributary’ of the Boundary River.
Such a Boundary River typically does not appear in stable time-space locations like Hongze; it only appears amidst the starry skies.
The Boundary River before us was drawn from the starry skies by a master of the Sea Tribe.
In other words, if one gets lost in the Boundary River, they might appear in the vast seas, possibly outside them, but most likely, they will return to... the starry skies with the river’s backflow.
If someone’s vision could break free from the shackles of time and space, they would clearly see a flat map.
The entire eye of the Sea of Illusion is wrapped by a long river shimmering with a chaotic hue, like a perfect ring. This chaotic light not only encircles the outermost part of the Sea of Illusion, but as one moves inward, more and more chaotic hues can be seen in varying sizes.
The very center is a gigantic vortex, entering which leads to the Sea of Illusion.
Within and outside the Boundary River, battles are constantly underway.
...
In a certain space.
Xu Guang looked gravely at the middle-aged man before him, the man holding a jade flute, displaying the quintessence of a Five-Realm Source Qi.
Behind him stood a thatched hut, as if the man had been living in seclusion here for a long time.
No...
Xu Guang suddenly noticed something amiss with the man’s aura; it was enveloped from top to bottom by a peculiar airflow, as if he were in a sealed state.
"Are you human or a demon?"
Xu Guang asked softly.
"Human, Han Wangshan."
Xu Guang frowned, clearly unfamiliar with the name, and such a person had never appeared even in the Sea of Illusion.
The other man looked at Xu Guang with a strange gaze, "Are you with the Dragon Demon?"
"Dragon Demon? Dragon Elephant Demon?"
Han Wangshan’s eyes showed some fluctuation, "It seems he really is different from those demons."
Then, the man took out a cyan bag from his chest, opened it, revealing an inner surface with the aura of an Ancient Elephant, which Xu Guang found somewhat familiar.
It resembled the aura of General Wei in his youth.
Originating from the Dragon Elephant Demon of the Sea of Illusion.
"What is your relationship with him?"
"Soulmates."
Xu Guang didn’t like this self-proclaimed Han Wangshan; he spoke with an air of mystery, like a scheming swindler from the Jianghu.
"Then you can wait here; perhaps you’ll meet him someday."
He had thoroughly deduced the man’s state, seeing that he was under control, and in such a place, the forces imprisoning someone were self-evident.
A powerful existence within the Sea Tribe.
Xu Guang did not want to provoke such people.
Seeing Xu Guang truly about to leave, Han Wangshan became a little anxious.
"Take me with you, I really am a soulmate of the Dragon Demon." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Xu Guang turned, looking deeply at the man.
After a moment of silence, Han Wangshan said quietly, "He suffered some injuries early on and was hunted; I took him into the Sea of Illusion."
"Who imprisoned you here?"
Xu Guang asked again.
Han Wangshan grew even more silent, appearing rather embarrassed.
But seeing Xu Guang’s eyes, he knew if he remained silent, the other would turn and leave.
"A Sea Tribe dual-transcendence peak master - Yubian."
Yubian?
Xu Guang knew of the six master guardians of the Boundary River from the Sea Tribe, each deemed the first tier of experts below the Saints.
Among them was this Yubian.
He recalled the residual memories in the refined Sea Tribe’s Divine Souls.
Xu Guang’s expression turned peculiar.
This Sea Tribe’s dual-transcendence master Yubian was... truly difficult to describe, a seahorse become sage, gender indeterminate, sometimes male, sometimes female, and according to the memories of the Sea Tribe, was indiscriminate, preferring women as a man and men as a woman.
Their favorite pastime was abducting handsome men and women of the Human Race.
With this in mind, he glanced at Han Wangshan.
The man appeared over thirty, donned in an aura of elegance, seemingly well-versed in literature, and what caught the attention was his eyes, a peach blossom gaze that looked deeply at anyone.
"You’ve caught their eye?"
Han Wangshan fell silent again.
Xu Guang: ...
Indeed.
"How can the Forbidden Technique on you be dispelled?"
Han Wangshan shook his head slightly, "No need to dispel it, these are Forbidden Techniques personally placed by Yubian. If you take me, you can claim I’m a close attendant of Yubian, which might deceive some of the Sea Tribe. If lucky, we might even cross the Boundary River."
Xu Guang’s eyes lit up, not expecting such a use.
"Alright."
Xu Guang and Han Wangshan cautiously continued along the colorful, infinitely fragmented edge of the Boundary River.
The flowing river was silent, yet exuded an overwhelming power, threatening to swallow anything into unknown realms of time and space.
The Forbidden Technique aura from Yubian on Han Wangshan truly showed unexpected effects.
Several scattered Sea Tribe patrols encountered along the way only curiously glanced at the unfamiliar Xu Guang after sensing the unique mark on Han Wangshan from Lord Yubian; they didn’t inquire further and departed on their own.
"It seems your ’talisman’ is quite effective." Xu Guang muttered quietly, his gaze still vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
He could feel that the closer they got to a certain direction, the more intense the spatial fluctuations became, faintly hearing shouts and the booming clashes of energies through layers of spatial folds.
