Chapter 1300: Collapse, Identity

Wen Yan understood the hint, which translated to staying away from lunatics.

It made sense; if that guy weren’t mentally unstable, he wouldn’t have caused these troubles, nor would have Wen Yan risked entering here.

Being so close to a martial artist with impressive strength and explosive power, he’s genuinely not afraid of being instantly killed—it can’t be believed the martial artist needs to be up close to kill someone, right?

Wen Yan had just received the information that someone used a roundabout way to determine if he was present in this world.

He had just entered this place, sped through to here, and then that Inverted Triangle Eyes appeared. Wen Yan didn’t think this was just a coincidence.

He couldn’t fathom how that guy dared—how he dared appear directly in front of him?

He truly couldn’t understand until he saw the hint that said this person is purely insane, then he was relieved.

Why bother trying to understand, just respond.

Just as he didn’t truly understand why some people harbored such hostility towards him.

Why think so much, just aim to resolve the trouble.

Wen Yan routinely dismantled the temple here and saw the path forward behind the temple.

As he crossed the mist again, the sense of direction was clearer than any prior moment.

He saw the path leading out from the third mountain, saw the trajectory to break through the gates, saw the dense, head-scratching three-dimensional routes. Moreover, this time, on the third mountain, he saw three path choices, very clearly.

This might be because the obstacles manifested here incorporate his power, becoming increasingly complex and difficult, but the paths become increasingly clear.

After moving through the mist, unsurprisingly, he arrived on the grassland. Wen Yan sat on the grassland, admiring the once vast sky and earth, the blue sky, waiting in tranquillity for Aunt to appear.

As the sandstorm appeared in the distance, Wen Yan didn’t wait. He hurried over and shouted from afar.

“Aunt, for that puzzle last time, I’ll go in and sort out things there; you don’t need to act.”

Whether Aunt understood or not, Wen Yan didn’t see the puzzle appear, so he continued to shout.

“The power here targets non-existent entities; it will consume, so don’t expend your power.”

This small matter, I can handle it; Aunt, save your power.

Someday, when the little one grows a bit older, I’ll think of a way to bring her to see you.

For now, these small matters, I will handle them.

This is a type of trial for me.”

Fearing Aunt wouldn’t agree, he shouted for half the day before seeing the sandstorm engulfing individual puzzles, the previously fallen giant tree puzzle appearing on the sandstorm’s surface.

Wen Yan didn’t hurry to the puzzle but instead bore the immense pressure from Aunt’s figure, enduring the body’s instinct to escape, and got closer step by step to Aunt.

When he got within ten meters, he couldn’t endure anymore; his hair stood on end like needles.

The corresponding Natural Enemy title, along with Scorching Sun’s passive effect, was already enough to make him immune to most of the fixed damage here. But now, it’s a pure force gap, an aura gap, a pressure gap; the gap was too big, damage immunity maxed out, and he still couldn’t withstand it.

This is what it was over a thousand years ago when one person faced the pinnacle force of all nations, a large-scale range, already beyond the limits realm.

Wen Yan walked to here but dared not proceed further; any more steps, even without malice, his body’s instinct and internal power would begin to turn somewhat uncontrollable, and the red exclamation mark in front almost blinded him.

He pinched the Tao Finger, calmed his heart, and pointed from a distance, applying a Blessing from afar, the Scorching Sun Blessing.

He didn’t dare use Explosive Great Sun, fearing that such close-range super buff, just the instantaneous natural reaction, pure aura could shock him dead here.

Aunt’s footsteps paused slightly, standing still, slowly turning her head to glance at Wen Yan, the previously somewhat empty gaze now held a hint of complexity.

After Wen Yan finished applying the Blessing, he quickly fled, diving head-first into the puzzle floating in mid-air.

Inside the puzzle, he waited initially, allowing those Huang Pi Zi to finish their tasks.

All the way, waiting until one Huang Pi Zi successfully petitioned transformation into Yellow Immortal Child, the Giant Python hadn’t petitioned yet, when Wen Yan swooped from the sky, heading straight for the Giant Python.

The Giant Python reacted quickly, its tail twitching, engaging Wen Yan in a hard confrontation.

A fierce explosive sound resounded in mid-air, the crunching sound of bone shattering erupted, scales on the snake’s tail surface continuously shattered, from skin to bones, everything crumbled.

And after paying these costs, Wen Yan landed on the ground.

Wen Yan flicked his wrist, and Gray Cloth flew out, binding the newly petitioned yet somewhat immature Yellow Immortal Child; he reached into his bosom and felt around, in an instant, Wen Yan received a prompt.
