Before being swallowed by that intense light, Luo Yan activated Insightful Silver Eyes, making the radiance unable to affect his vision.
He saw the world as it truly was. In this world outlined by monotonous lines, he saw towering "mountains"—stone pillars or walls over a hundred meters high. They were connected together, cutting through space.
Looking out through the power of the Divine Treasure, he saw such things everywhere. Together, they formed a complex maze!
Luo Yan immediately understood that he had arrived at the underwater maze in the Forbidden Land's rift valley!
Then he recalled the hand that had dragged Yao Yuan into the vortex. Luo Yan instantly tensed and used the special vision granted by the Divine Treasure to observe his surroundings.
When he swept his gaze toward the lower left, he immediately saw a mass of gray biological light. The light was wrapped in chaotic lines, which outlined the figure of a Giant Ape.
The Giant Ape had a ferocious, ugly face with a flattened nose and a protruding forehead. It was none other than the master of the Ink Abyss Water Palace—the overlord, Wu Zhiqi!
Wu Zhiqi shrieked as he pounced over, blue-violet currents surging across his body. Using both hands and feet, he reached for Yao Yuan.
Luo Yan raised the Xuanwu Shield. Thirty-six layers of Energy Barriers activated, while Vermilion Heavenly Fire ignited around the mecha, forming another layer of protection.
Wu Zhiqi slammed into the great shield and brought down a fist, unleashing a burst of lightning.
Crack, crack! Layer after layer of barriers shattered beneath the monkey's blows like fragile glass.
Inside the cockpit, Luo Yan's whole body shook. Through the Empathy System, he truly felt the pressure coming from the overlord.
But this was not his first time facing an overlord.
