Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315
Master Sun didn’t take out the Command Token immediately after stepping onto the Road of Despair. Instead, he relied on his own abilities and walked several miles along the road.
The temporal chaos layers were like invisible Flying Swords, rushing at him amidst the cold wind. With each encounter, they threatened to trap Master Sun. Even the lowest level of chaos layers that could catch only the Three Mountains Divine Artifacts would limit his strong divine consciousness to a range of only ten meters, making it virtually impossible to find the path back.
For the Red Clan barbarians’ believers, who did not cultivate their divine consciousness, falling into these chaos layers would mean certain death. Thus, the road was indeed one of absolute "despair" for the Red Clan barbarians.
As Master Sun walked on, he understood why one could only reach the "end point" by personally stepping on the Road of Despair and not simply walking along the sides of the road. The space-time rules on this road were completely messed up, meaning that if viewed from the outside, the road has no "end" -- no matter how far you walk in the external world, you would never see the so-called end point.
At the same time, invisible forces permeated the layers of space-time chaos. Although they were contained by the road, some would still leak out. The strength of the chaotic layers varied, and thus the amount of force that seeped out differed. If one sat on the roadside and fished, they would come into contact with this singular force, which would not have too much impact.
However, if one were to keep moving along the sides of the road, they would inadvertently come into contact with these forces, which would become increasingly complex and potentially dangerous. This force could entice you, attracting you to the Road of Despair from a rules perspective.
On this road, only by holding the Command Token in hand could you reach the "end point." The token is a treasure capable of neutralizing and regulating the chaotic space-time rules on the Road of Despair. Only when these rules are completely stabilized will the end point come into existence. Without the token, even if you are capable of walking along the Road of Despair continuously, you will never find the end point.
Master Sun had experienced three high-level temporal chaos layers, skillfully evading each one. If not for his recent enlightenment with the Command Token, he wouldn’t have made it through. Afterward, now with a strengthened understanding of the Command Token, Master Sun no longer wasted time and took out the token, holding it in his hand.
The token’s radiance gradually increased along the Road of Despair. At this moment, the token was like a burning torch, its radiance spreading outward to form layers of light films, creating a thick and comet-shaped light shell in front of Master Sun. The front part was thick, and it trailed a long, thin tail of light.
The approaching temporal chaos layers, upon touching the radiance, suddenly stabilized, allowing Master Sun to pass unscathed.
However, the radiance was not without cost. Master Sun soon discovered that he needed to constantly infuse his elemental power into the token to maintain the radiance. Fortunately, after his recent enlightenment, Master Sun was able to use the smallest amount of power to generate the greatest extent of radiance.
However, this also meant that holding the Command Token was not a guarantee of reaching the end point. If Master Sun’s elemental power was depleted, he would be forced to leave. The question was whether this road supported "saving." If one left and then returned after replenishing their power, would they continue from where they left off or start all over?
Moreover, this was the Red Clan Barbarian Continent. The recent bounty for the Command Token had caused quite a stir, attracting the attention of local powerhouses. If Master Sun ran out of power and encountered an unfriendly Seven Mountains Power, it could be disastrous. Thus, he resolved to reach the end point in one attempt!
With the guidance of Little Black Tortoise and her hundreds of years’ experience, the National Master managed to walk a full 20 miles! In that time, she narrowly evaded the high-level temporal chaos layers seven times, keeping calm and carefully handling each situation.
It was certain that even an average Seventh Level master would not be able to withstand more than three encounters before succumbing to fate.
The National Master was already drenched in sweat and extremely exhausted, a state she had never experienced since becoming a Sixth Great Realm master. Little Black Tortoise sighed and advised her, "Don’t be stubborn. Without the Command Token, there’s really no hope for you on this road. Don’t forget that this is Sunset Country, with many Seven Mountains Powers and Divine Followers. If you exhaust your elemental power here and an enemy appears, won’t you be at their mercy?"
"I’ve heard that the Red Clan barbarians in Sunset Country are very brutal and lustful..."
Standing on the Road of Despair, the National Master looked ahead: In her sight, it was still an ordinary winding road without an end. However, she knew she could not continue.
Without making a sound, she touched Little Black Tortoise and changed direction, walking off the Road of Despair. Thanks to her Seventh Level’s formidable strength and powerful divine consciousness, she managed to leave the road, much unlike Red Clan barbarians, who could never leave once they started on the path.
The National Master took a break by the roadside, drank a bottle of Spiritual Elixir to replenish her energy, and continued on. Little Black Tortoise wriggled its nose and said, "Luara, can you stop mixing Spiritual Elixir into your alcohol next time?"
Blushing, the National Master’s snow-white cheeks flew up two crimson clouds, making her look peerlessly enchanting. She was unmatched in prestige on Sang Island, and no one knew her real name anymore, but Little Black Tortoise did. It shook its head secretly, thinking how no one in the Eastern Land would ever imagine that the esteemed Sangdao National Teacher was actually a female
