Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 600: True Horror in No Man’s Land

Chapter 600: True Horror in No Man’s Land

Xue Wei was somewhat confused about the purpose of merging two different worlds. When merged, they would, in theory, belong to the same world, but due to the various rules and regulations, most things could be ignored and they would end up clashing against one another instead.

This was also the reason why the No Man's Land was considered a dangerous area where no one would venture to unless they had no other option.

While this area was located in their world, it was actually uncontrolled by the laws that the local cultivators were used to, so they would have to either adapt quickly, or simply be lucky to survive.

However, it was also because of these contracting things that ensured that the beasts within this pocket dimension would not wreak havoc on the rest of the world. None of the strongest beasts had the ability to leave the No Man's Land where they were locked up within.

"If this is the case, then the dangers we will face in the future will only get worse."

Although they had all thought of this, only Hei Gou was willing to mention it, and his words made the others feel somewhat helpless.

It was indeed the case. Since this No Man's Land was in conflict with the rest of the world, then it was clear that the beasts within would not be able to ascend to a higher realm upon breaking through to the immortal realm.

However, even if they could not break through the realm itself, they would have been in this No Man's Land for so long that they would be considered equally strong to a weaker immortal, and if they were to encounter these beasts, then they would be helpless, no matter how swiftly they fled.

"Fortunately, that last creature was only interested in the scorpions. Also, I don't think that it was at the immortal realm, but even that thing was able to make us flee in fear, imagine those true overlords of this area."

Since Hei Gou had already mentioned the danger of those near-immortal beasts, Lin Xiao could not help but comment as well. It was clear to them all that although they had been prepared to face danger upon entering this area, they did not know just how severe the threat to their lives were before now.

Even so, none of them had any intention of backing down. They had not gone here for fun or to experience the environment. To them, the journey through the No Man's Land was purely done for the sake of moving forward and not becoming passive in the hands of their hidden enemy.

Since they were likely to die if they stayed passive, then they might as well take this great risk and try to move forward.

"I am sorry." Xue Wei was aware that none of them would back down. Even Hei Gou, who had forgotten his memories, did not seem to have any intention of leaving them behind, but the target of this hidden enemy was clearly Xue Wei, and they were risking their lives only to ensure that he could keep living.

Such willingness to gamble with their own lives made Xue Wei feel moved. Although he was not a person who would show off his affection, and while he knew that his verbal thanks was pale when compared to the surging emotions inside, he still wished to say a simple thanks.

He was not going to try and convince them to turn back, because he knew that if any of them were the targets of this villain, and they tried to persuade him to step back, he would get angry and stay back anyway.

He was certain that his companions felt the same, so he was going to show his gratitude with his actions and ensure that none of them would die in front of him. Even if they faced an unresolved danger at some point, then he would stand in front to face these threats and try to buy them enough time to escape.

Lin Xiao, Hei Gou, Bai Tianyi, and Luoluo all understood Xue Wei's thoughts, but none of them said anything. Even so, they all just smiled knowingly and shook their heads.

To them, they did not need Xue Wei to risk his life for their escape. In many ways, he had given them a future, so to them, he was a very important person.

Lin Xiao had fled the Chang'an Continent to break away from his fate as the chosen heir to the Diviners. He had nothing to return to, and even if he could keep living on his own, he had long since acknowledged Xue Wei and the others as true family.

While life was important, it was not worth living at all costs. Rather than living a life of regret, he would prefer to shine brightly and rush ahead.

Bai Tianyi had also finally found peace with his past, and he was no longer obsessed with immortality. To him, the most important thing was to simply enjoy every day and not worry about the future.

So many years have been spent worrying, so why not just take it one day at a time?

Luoluo was saved by Xue Wei and the others. Although she was no longer childlike and weak, she was well aware that her future was a gift from them, so even if she died alongside her friends and family, she would never regret it.

These people, although none of them were related by blood, they were closer than many families. To them, life was important, but they were not willing to do anything to live.

They never claimed to be good people, but that did not mean that they were without their own views and morals. While they would rather kill an innocent than risk their friends and family, they would also rather sacrifice their lives than to see their dear ones suffer.
