Chapter 3777 Missed Its Mark
At the break of dawn, Kai suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Before them, a terrifying crevice appeared, as if someone had cleaved the
very fabric of the universe with a single sword stroke.
On one side of the massive crevice, the howling cold wind whipped around,
navigating through every nook and cranny. Countless fragments of space
twisted and turned, as though they were ready to reap everything in their
path.
The space before everyone’s eyes was distorted, resembling a chaotic void,
making it impossible to see anything clearly within it.
A sense of danger permeated the surroundings. Everyone felt their hair stand
on end, their hearts filled with tension.
The oppressive feeling that the chaos dimension brought them was simply too
intense.
It seemed that when the Ethereal Realm was created by the powerful, they had
intentionally made the borders terrifying to prevent anyone from
accidentally crossing them.
“Mr. Chance, look over there, quick!”
At that moment, Bianca suddenly pointed across the vast crevice.
In the snowy landscape across from them, there was a dense cluster of polar
stones piled together.
It appeared to be, at the very least, a thousand of them.
Kai looked at the not-so-wide crevice. “There are so many polar stones. All
we need to do is cross over to get them.”
Although they couldn’t fly over to the other side, they could still easily traverse through the crevice.
However, the most perilous thing was the distorted, chaos dimension.
If one wasn’t careful and got sucked in, it would be the end of everything.
As Kai hesitated, Vermilion Demon Lord piped up, “Don’t cross over. You
won’t be able to. I made this crevice with my sword. I recall some memories
of fighting here. Perhaps even my remains could be buried somewhere around
here.”
Vermilion Demon Lord was slain here, indicating there must have been a
battle.
It would be reasonable to say that this crevice was created by a single
strike from Vermilion Demon Lord. After all, he was a demon lord and this
level of power was well within his reach.
“Do you remember anything else? Do you know who tried to kill you? Do you
know if there’s any polar stone mine here?” Kai asked excitedly.
Vermilion Demon Lord shook his head. “I can’t recall who killed me, let
alone know anything about some polar stones mine. Polar stones, to me, are
no different from trash. Why would I pay attention to it?”
Vermilion Demon Lord’s words indeed held some truth.
Polar stones were merely beneficial for those who practiced frost
techniques. To the immortals and demon lords, they were as worthless as
trash.
“Why can’t I get through when the crevice isn’t even wide?” Kai turned to
ask Vermilion Demon Lord.
“Try throwing a stone and you’ll see,” Vermilion Demon Lord replied.
Kai picked up a stone and then hurled it with all his might toward the
opposite direction.
No sooner had the stone been thrown than an intense aura emerged from the
enormous crevice, instantly shattering the stone.
“What… What’s going on?”
Kai was quite taken aback.
“This crevice was created by a single stroke of my sword. Within it, the
force of that very strike still lingers. Even though thousands of years have
passed, its power has not yet fully dissipated. With your current abilities,
it’s simply impossible for you to cross over. If you were to reach Ultimate
Realm, perhaps then you might stand a chance.”
“What should we do, then? Just stand by and let those polar stones slip
away? Why did you even create such a crevice? It’s so annoying…”
Kai was utterly speechless.
The polar stones were seemingly within reach, yet they were utterly
impossible to obtain.
Vermilion Demon Lord rolled his eyes and said, “You think I actually wanted
to create a crevice? If my sword had hit the opponent, this crevice wouldn’t
have appeared.”
It was clear that Vermilion Demon Lord’s sword had missed its mark,
resulting in a crevice.
