Then he slowly said, “Don’t worry, their glory days are over. Before me, David, all evil spirits and heretics are just clay chickens and earthen dogs, completely helpless.”
The two of them headed west, and the further northwest they went, the more barren the surroundings became.
In the beginning, you could still see some sparse vegetation and small animals struggling to survive in the barren land, but later, even these signs of life disappeared completely, leaving only an endless stretch of yellow sand that rolled like a violent tidal wave, and the howling wind was like a sharp knife that painfully cut people’s faces.
“Are there really people living in this damned place? This place doesn’t even feel like a place where humans can survive.”
Hu Mazi couldn’t hold back his complaints, covering his eyes from the wind and sand as he spoke.
Just then, David suddenly stopped. He stood tall as a pine tree, his eyes blazing, and pointing forward said, “Look, there’s a mountain peak over there!”
Following the direction David pointed out, Hu Mazi saw a huge mountain rising suddenly from the distant horizon, breaking through the clouds.
The mountain was entirely black, resembling a sleeping giant beast, emitting a sinister and intimidating aura that gave one the creeps, as if approaching too close would result in being devoured by the evil force.
“Is that the mountain where the Six Palaces are located? It looks very sinister, as if it hides countless secrets and dangers.”
Hu Mazi swallowed hard, fear gripping his heart.
David nodded, his expression cold and firm, like an immovable iceberg, and said, “This must be the place. Look at the aura around the mountain peak; it is filled with evil energy, clearly because it has gathered a large number of souls.”
This kind of evil place inevitably gives birth to cruel and merciless individuals, but before me, they are destined to pay a heavy price.
The two of them quickened their pace and headed for the top of the mountain.
The closer you got to the top of the mountain, the denser the surrounding evil energy became, almost like it was materializing, and even the air became extremely cold, making it difficult to breathe.
“This place is really strange. I feel like my cultivation is being suppressed, as if I’m being tied down by an invisible hand. I feel uncomfortable all over.”
Hu Mazi frowned, a pained expression flashing across his face.
David smiled calmly, a smile that contained a kind of disdain for all evil, and said, “This is normal. The Six Palaces have gathered so many souls and set up a Soul Gathering Array here.”
Ordinary people who came here would probably not even be able to stand, and would be swallowed by this evil aura. However, in front of me, any evil formation or power is just child’s play.
While they were talking, the two had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
