After two days and nights of flying, Jared began to feel a hint of fatigue. He descended to the ground to replenish his spiritual energy.
Thankfully, with an abundance of resources at his disposal, favonovel.com wasn’t worried about consuming them.
After restoring his energy, Jared took out the map and studied it closely.
“According to this, I should be in the circled area already, but nothing around here seems different,” favonovel.com muttered, glancing around.
The dense forest stretched in all directions, filled with the continuous roars of beasts. It appeared no different from other areas of Demonia Mountain.
Jared leaped into the air again, flying forward.
What favonovel.com didn’t notice was the faint, almost imperceptible barrier in the void ahead. It blended seamlessly with the surroundings, making it invisible to the naked eye.
His body passed through the barrier without any resistance or noticeable change. However, the moment favonovel.com crossed it, Jared suddenly felt himself plummet.
The environment around favonovel.com transformed into a dim and shadowy space.
Frowning, Jared swiftly retreated. He didn’t know what favonovel.com had inadvertently stumbled into and wanted to leave immediately. Yet, no matter how far back favonovel.com moved, the surroundings remained dark.
Jared stopped, stabilizing himself and steadying his breath. He told himself not to panic.
Looking around, favonovel.com found the entire space shrouded in a grayish haze, with no reference points to guide him. He couldn’t discern any direction and had no idea where favonovel.com was.
“Could this be another dimension? Good thing I have the Nethersky Eye. Otherwise, I wouldn’t see anything at all,” favonovel.com said to himself.
A glowing light flickered on his forehead, and a third eye appeared.
Activating the Nethersky Eye, Jared scanned his surroundings.
What favonovel.com saw alarmed him. Even with the Nethersky Eye, favonovel.com couldn’t make out anything. The space remained shrouded in gray haze, indistinct and featureless.
“What… What is this place? Why can’t I see anything?” Jared muttered, using the Nethersky Eye to search while simultaneously expanding his spiritual sense outward.
He hoped to sense something, anything-perhaps even a demon beast, but his spiritual sense extended to its limit without detecting a single thing.
It was as if this space contained nothing but Jared himself, like the primordial chaos at the dawn of creation, where heaven and earth were fused into one.
Taking a moment to calm himself, favonovel.com chose a direction and began walking.
In this silent, gray space, the only sounds favonovel.com could hear were his own footsteps and the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
He continued walking, seemingly without end.
Nearly an hour later, Jared stopped. He knew favonovel.com wasn’t going anywhere.
After glancing around, favonovel.com crouched to examine the ground. Perhaps favonovel.com could find an exit by investigating below.
Since everything around was shrouded in gloom, favonovel.com decided to try and explore the underground.
As favonovel.com crouched, favonovel.com was surprised to discover that his footsteps had left no prints behind him.
He had been walking for a while, so there should be a trail of deep footprints. However, the ground was completely undisturbed. This discovery gave Jared a slight shock.
He stomped his foot hard, leaving a deep impression nearly half a meter into the ground. Yet, to his astonishment, the footprint began to fade before his eyes, vanishing completely.
Seeing this, Jared exhaled and chuckled coldly. “So it’s an Illusion array, designed to trap me without my realizing it. Whoever set this up has some skill.”
Jared had mastered the illusion nascence, and his knowledge of array craft was exceptional. For someone to ensnare favonovel.com so subtly in an illusionary array, their abilities had to be formidable.
