But to our surprise, after charging through the eighth layer of space and arriving at the area of the ninth layer of the Heavenly Sword Passage, we found the gate already open. Rolling clouds rotated slowly and magnificently, like a colossal vortex too vast to imagine!
Li Tianjian was nowhere to be seen. Aside from clouds, there were only clouds around us, with dense masses formed from chaotic energy enveloping everything. It was already difficult to investigate auras here. Even if the three of us remained within this Heavenly Sword spacetime, it would hardly be strange for us to become lost without a destination if we left the gate and split up.
Li Poxiao gritted his teeth and continued charging into the ninth layer below. Xia Ruize and I exchanged glances, then had no choice but to follow him in!
"Yitian! Do we really have to go down? That old monster might be waiting down there!" Xia Ruize said through gritted teeth.
"We have no other choice. I only hope this ancient immortal has already gone to prove the Dao, rather than attempting to smuggle himself through the Nine Heavens from within the Heavenly Sword spacetime!" I could not help clinging to a sliver of hope.
Xia Ruize was about to say something when he noticed that Li Poxiao had accelerated again. He could only shake his head repeatedly. "That brat Li Poxiao... Does he really not fear charging into someone else's trap again?"
All we could do was follow behind Li Poxiao. Yet the journey was completely different from what we had imagined. The aura was as dense as ever, or perhaps even denser. The Heavenly Sword spacetime in this ninth layer had already become a realm entirely filled with ancient chaotic energy. Let alone starry ruins or some
