After setting everything up, Duan Gujin checked the sensing array.
Once he was sure there were no issues, he moved forward to the left.
Along the way, he discovered many swamps.
A faint array power emanated from within those swamps.
His Divine Sense entered the swamp to investigate, and after checking for a while, he didn't find any array existing within a hundred ters below the swamp.
"It seems this array power should be coming from deep inside this swamp!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he pondered this possibility.
After moving forward for so distance, he encountered an Exotic Realm Creature.
Without hesitating, he engaged in battle with that Exotic Realm Creature for dozens of rounds.
He originally intended to capture the Exotic Realm Creature alive, but unexpectedly, the creature self-destructed in the end.
Having witnessed the self-destruction of Exotic Realm Creatures many tis, he paid it no further mind.
But the next mont, he felt that the creature's soul did not vanish with its body but halted right in front of him instead.
Duan Gujin did not imdiately attack the creature's soul as he wanted to understand why it abruptly stopped there.
Generally, even in the Otherworld, once Exotic Realm Creatures are slain, their souls vanish imdiately.
It's said that during the process of a soul's imminent disappearance, it cannot be destroyed by various spells and Divine Skills.
According to legend, to obliterate a reincarnating soul, it must be sealed with the Power of Reincarnation.
If a soul cannot enter reincarnation and stays in the world for too long, it turns into a wandering ghost or a resentful spirit.
Once it becos a wandering ghost, spells or Divine Skills can be used to annihilate it.
Duan Gujin was certain that he saw the soul of the Exotic Realm Creature he just killed leave its body but unexpectedly stop in front of him, an occurrence that naturally puzzled him.
Gazing at the soul ahead, he frowned slightly, pondering that perhaps the Exotic Realm Creature's soul and other living creatures' souls enter reincarnation differently, which might explain why it lingered motionlessly on the ground.
Not wanting any unforeseen incidents, he took a deep breath and released Soul Fire to burn the soul ahead.
However, as he watched his Soul Fire penetrate through it, unable to burn the soul, he frowned slightly.
"Perhaps the Soul Fire I released isn't strong enough."
Thus, he stimulated his internal Divine True Qi and Divine Power, pushing the Soul Fire's potency to its extre.
Yet the next mont, seeing the Soul Fire once again incapable of burning the soul, passing through it entirely, he realized the soul ahead could not be burned with Soul Fire.
Soul Fire had no effect on that soul whatsoever!
Duan Gujin swiftly retreated, taking so Elixir Pills, circulating his cultivation technique to quickly restore his Divine True Qi and Divine Power.
This ti, he made no offensive moves towards the soul ahead but instead watched its every move intently with wide eyes.
A while later, he noticed the soul no longer resembled its initial appearance, looking instead as if it were transforming into a resentful spirit.
Seeing this change in the soul ahead, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, deciding to use the Extre Thunder Technique to strike the soul.
Over a dozen Extre Thunder Dragons appeared in his right hand, and he commanded them to surround and attack the soul from different directions.
Subsequently, he saw the soul explode violently upon being struck by an Extre Thunder Dragon, detonating with a loud boom.
His Divine Sense extended, ticulously exploring the surroundings.
Monts later, confirming no soul fluctuations nearby, he let out a breath of relief, now certain the soul was indeed obliterated by the Extre Thunder Dragon.
Pondering the strange mutation of the Exotic Realm Creature's soul, he couldn't fathom any explanation and could only attribute the anomaly to the differences between its soul and those of other living creatures.
Yet, for so reason, a foreboding feeling lingered within him.
He continued moving towards the swamps, and after so distance, he saw a massive Ancient City appear ahead.
Seeing the imnse city, he frowned deeply, knowing he had arrived at the Ancient Relics arranged by the Ancient Dragon Emperor. An Ancient City wouldn't appear here without reason, and he surmised many chanical arrays awaited him in the city.
Exhaling deeply, his Divine Sense delved into the Space Bracelet.
He saw all the Divine World Martial Artists sitting cross-legged, recuperating in the vacant space of the bracelet, which reassured him.
He recuperated, waiting for his body to return to normal before approaching the Ancient City for inspection.
His Divine Sense expanded outward, yet saw no living creatures outside the city waiting for him.
As he neared less than a mile from the city, dark clouds suddenly churned above it, giving the impression the sky was about to collapse.
He felt that as soon as he approached the Ancient City ahead, the dark clouds appeared abruptly, suspecting they were directed at him.
He flashed backward, wanting to verify whether his judgnt was correct.
Yet suddenly, at that mont, he sensed a powerful pulling force beneath his feet.
The intense pulling energy swiftly dragged him into the Ancient City ahead. Although he intended to use his cultivation technique to resist the force, he found himself powerless against it.
He could only watch as the force pulled him towards the city gates, thankful that the gates were open.
Beyond the city gates lay nothing but endless darkness, filling him with terror.
Once he passed through the impenetrable darkness within the gates, he discovered himself transported to a land full of volcanoes.
At this point, the strong pulling force had greatly weakened, allowing him to stabilize himself and finally settle steadily on the ground.
His mind reached out, surveying the surroundings.
At this mont, he saw only various volcanoes of different sizes all around.
"What place is this?"
Duan Gujin couldn't decipher the intentions of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, and quickly released a sensing talisman, hoping it would detect the location of his previously placed sensing array.
To his disappointnt, he found the sensing talisman in his hand couldn't sense any array power.
"Could it be I've been transported to another isolated Small World?"
He recalled the series of isolated Small Worlds he had seen hovering above the Ancient Relics, finally understanding that those worlds weren't intended to protect the Ancient Relics.
