After being assured by the divine god, the young talents aboard the airship gradually calmed down and their anxiety was eased.
The Celestial Cyan Kingdom had recruited so many young talented warriors for the sake of the chaotic world tree, and every one of them had outstanding abilities.
Whoosh!
Finally, the airship had already entered the World of Darkness.
The boundless darkness engulfed the airship in an instant.
Everything was pitch black.
Everyone felt as if the darkness was creeping beneath their skin and swallowing them.
Soon, the endless darkness made them struggle physically and mentally.
They started to feel difficulty in breathing.
"This is just so scary!"
The people in the airship felt as if they were blind. Worse, they couldn't perceive anything through their spiritual senses.
It was as if they lost their bodies, and their souls were trapped in a hauntingly dark place.
Even Austin was surprised.
He possessed the spiritual tree and the spiritual dragon, which nourished his spiritual soul in his Soul Sea to continue making his spiritual sense powerful.
Truth be told, his spiritual sense was much stronger than those of many masters at the Divine Realm.
However, even if he released his powerful spiritual sense repeatedly, he couldn't perceive anything.
He hated to admit it, but he also felt powerless in this situation.
PONG!
All of a sudden, Austin was attacked in the darkness.
He estimated that there were at least six to seven people behind the attack.
Although he couldn't see anything, he had strongly developed his other senses over the years, especially when it came to sensing danger. Thus, he barely escaped the attacks just before it directly hit him.
Then, he drew out a long divine-level sword as fast as lightning.
Just using his instinct and other senses, he slashed out his sword in the darkness.
Schwing! Splat!
There were a series of crisp sounds of flesh tearing apart.
Austin knew that he had slashed down some of his unknown enemies.
"Tin, help!
Someone attacked me!"
Not far from him, Shepard's voice alerted Austin.
Upon hearing his voice, Austin quickly identified his position and waved his long sword. An immense aura of eight hundred million sword strikes merged into one burst out like a tidal wave, forming a protective shield that tightly protected Shepard.
Crash! Splat!
Another series of flesh-tearing sounds echoed in the darkness.
"Stay close to me!"
Austin yelled.
Whoosh!
Since the surroundings were pitch black, Shepard just rushed towards Austin's voice until he bumped on him.
"Hey, fat guy! Watch out!"
Austin bit his lip as he struggled to push back Shepard's bulky body.
"Sorry! I just got so scared. The closer I am to you, the safer I feel,"
Shepard said shamelessly as he stood next to Austin.
'Tch. This guy is grossing me out, ' Austin thought as he felt disgusted with the words he heard.
But then again, he had no choice but to also stick closely to Shepard as it would be more difficult to protect him if he was too far from him.
"Austin, these people must be from the Enigmatic Sect!
Teague must have been the one who sent them.
Only the people of the Celestial Cyan Kingdom know that we're going to pass through the World of Darkness.
This trip is organized for the young talented warriors to go to the ancient relic.
As a powerful figure, Teague should be aware of this.
This is too shady to be a coincidence. It's obviously premeditated!
Teague must have seen this opportunity to finish me,"
Peterson laid out his hunch.
"Well, there's no doubt about that.
Nobody would dare to drive us into a corner except him.
He's afraid that you'll go back and exact your revenge once you recover.
So he has to do something now to eliminate you,"
Austin affirmed Peterson's suspicion.
