Chapter 1887: Chapter 1906: All Things Bear Sin
Spirit Awakening Tower’s eighteen layers, each a space, each a world.
When Bridger Doyle entered and was like a stone sinking into the sea, Yusuf Zuck resolutely charged in as well, wanting to see what these eighteen hurdles truly were!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~” Not only him, but others also rushed in almost simultaneously.
However, to Yusuf Zuck’s great surprise, as he entered the passage, he discovered that the people who were following him had vanished, their bodies gradually fading until they completely disappeared!
His expression turned grave; entering this first layer seed like a random teleportation, and the people around him couldn’t gather together.
“Whoosh~” He landed, then raised an eyebrow!
Because in his surroundings was a flat, endless… road.
Yes, a road. On both sides and overhead were layers of dark clouds, rolling, with the ground beneath them as if forming a parallel line, as if the space was being compressed.
Of course, there was no one around, not a single person. Although there was light in the space, it appeared extrely dim and eerily quiet.
“What is this situation?” He took two steps to the left and tried to reach into the clouds with his hand!
Yet, the mont his hand touched the clouds, a powerful absorbing force suddenly attacked, rapidly sucking the energy from his body!
He was greatly startled and tried to withdraw his hand quickly!
But… that suction was like an octopus’s suction cup, gripping tightly to his fingers, no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t shake free. At the sa ti, the energy in his body continued to be absorbed, even his blood energy, soul, and bodily fluids, all flowing out rapidly!
“Release!” Yusuf Zuck decisively pulled out the Epoch Etching Blade with his right hand and slashed down!
With a “snap,” the connection between his fingers and the clouds was severed, and he staggered back several steps, his face changing colors incessantly!
It was too bizarre. His power was actually unable to pull free from the clouds, aning he couldn’t leave the road but could only move forward or backward, not left or right or upward, following the rules of this space!
“Hmm, let’s try again!” Yusuf Zuck didn’t instantly move forward, as he wanted to understand what exactly the clouds were. So, he took a deep breath and suddenly opened his third eye, then shot the Grand Light onto it.
“Sizzle~” When the Grand Light hit the clouds, it made a sizzling sound, but the clouds weren’t penetrated, and his Grand Light disappeared without a trace.
He decisively withdrew the Grand Light because he felt that the clouds absorbed the Grand Light as well.
“What is this situation?” Yusuf Zuck frowned deeply. These clouds could absorb all energy, and even touching them was impossible, which was incredibly bewildering!
He stood alone for a long ti, unable to think of a way to break through these clouds, so he started walking forward slowly.
There was no turning back because retreating wasn’t his style.
The road was very long and not straight, but winding. He started by walking slowly, then running, and eventually flying without restraint.
But… no matter how he ran, he seed to never reach the end. After running for what seed a day and a night, he suddenly stopped.
He felt that this position was the sa spot he had appeared at earlier, the spot of his initial experint, though he wasn’t entirely sure!
“Let’s give it a try.” He casually tossed a dagger onto the ground and once again flew quickly.
After another day, he stopped because he had circled back, seeing the dagger he had previously thrown down!
This ant that the road was circular, with no exit. No matter how he moved, he would eventually return to the starting point!
He knew that to leave, he must break through the clouds; breaking in any direction would an breaking through, which was the first hurdle of the Spirit Awakening Tower!
But breaking through the clouds was extrely difficult. The clouds absorbed everything, so in the process of breaking through, you could be absorbed to death.
“Collect energy!” Yusuf Zuck heaved a deep sigh and muttered, “The master of this Spirit Awakening Tower is likely collecting the blood energy from those in the Pathmaster Realm! Similar to my Sinful Light, anyone illuminated by it has all their blood energy absorbed completely!”
“Hmm? Sinful Light?” Yusuf Zuck’s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a possible way to break through the clouds!
Previously, he had only tried the Grand Light but not the Sinful Light. What might happen if he shot the Sinful Light into the clouds?
The clouds wanted to absorb his energy, so could the Sinful Light counter-absorb? If not, two similar absorbing forces colliding would definitely create sparks, right?
As he thought, he acted, opening the third eye without any hesitation, then shot the Sinful Light onto the clouds.
“Buzz~” Just as he imagined, when two sa-attribute energies, both absorbing, collided, they imdiately reacted. The clouds wanted to absorb the Sinful Light, and the Sinful Light wanted to extinguish the clouds’ sin. Thus, they emitted a humming sound!
At that mont, the clouds began to tremble.
One must know, everything in the world, every blade of grass and tree, bears sin, and these clouds had extrely heavy sins. The clouds had likely killed and absorbed countless people, so how could the sins be light?
And since the clouds bore sins, they would be restrained by the Sinful Light.
So, after the two forces interacted for a mont, the clouds collapsed, and the entire world echoed with a booming sound!
“Swish~” At the instant all the clouds exploded, a massive torrent turned into the purest energy and was swiftly absorbed into the depths of Yusuf Zuck’s soul through his third eye, strengthening his soul once more!
However, his cultivation level did not strengthen, as he was stuck at the Top Primordial Realm. Without ascending to the Pathmaster Realm, he couldn’t perceive the thoughts of a master, and he could only grow fatter, more bloated!
“Rumble~” The space he stood in seed to shatter in an instant. He stood still, the world before him flickered, then everything disappeared, and he found himself at the foot of a staircase.
Indeed, at the foot of a staircase, behind him was an empty first layer of the tower, with nothing there, only a grand hall and stairs leading to the second layer!
Everything just now seed like a hallucination, but Yusuf Zuck knew it wasn’t; it was real. He had rely broken through, otherwise, he would have perished inside!
Furthermore, the thirty-seven people he had brought along didn’t seem to have broken through the space; he was the first!
He pondered for a mont and didn’t wait for the others but continued upward toward the stairs!
