Teleportation Array

"This..."

The group stared at the Magic Array platform emitting a faint, milky-white halo, momentarily too stunned to speak.

"What... what is this?"

The thin, sharp-featured man asked in shock, his voice involuntarily dropping to a whisper.

The entire platform was the size of a basketball court, with numerous patterns carved around its perimeter.

The central area of the platform featured incredibly complex markings; looking at them closely gave one a sense of being drawn in.

A vast, ancient aura permeated the air.

Surrounding the platform were mountain ranges.

This place was entirely like a sealed altar, with only the valley as an entrance and exit.

Beyond that, there wasn't even a single blade of vegetation, as if everything were avoiding the platform as it grew.

"You all stay here; I'll go over and take a look."

The leading man slowly reined in the shock in his eyes and spoke cautiously.

As for the animal that had lured them here, it had long been forgotten.

"Meng, this thing looks a bit strange."

Another man frowned, his expression full of gravity.

"Stay alert."

The leader spoke directly.

Seeing the serious tone, the others did not refute him, merely nodding.

Under the vigilant gazes of the others, the leader approached the Magic Array with extreme caution.

Upon getting close, he first picked up a small stone from the ground and tossed it directly onto the platform.

Thud.

There was only the sound of the stone landing on the platform; there was no other reaction.

Everyone's heart settled slightly.

After approaching the Magic Array, the man gently touched it with his hand. What appeared to be a stone Magic Array had a peculiar texture.

It felt almost like jade.

Thinking of this, the man drew his waist saber and slashed fiercely at the Magic Array.

Clang!

The long saber trembled violently, and the man's hand went numb.

The saber snapped cleanly into two halves, yet the Magic Array remained completely unscathed.

The man was dumbfounded.

Although the others didn't know what he was doing, seeing the man's saber break instantly made their eyes widen.

The man's saber wasn't exactly legendary, but when facing magical beasts, it could withstand attacks from level five or six beasts without sustaining any damage.

Yet now, after striking stone, the saber had shattered?

And the stone didn't even have a mark on it?

Was this even stone?

"This..."

The man didn't know what to say for a moment.

He looked at the broken blade in his hand, then at the pristine platform, his heart filled with shock.

What kind of material was this?

Seeing the man like this, the others also approached carefully.

"Meng, this..."

The thin man looked at the broken saber, then at the platform.

"This isn't stone."

Another man touched the Magic Array and spoke.

"Hm?"

The others also approached the Magic Array in confusion, carefully observing and touching it.

"This seems to be... some kind of special jade?"

The short-haired woman said in shock.

Jade was extremely precious, even far more valuable than gold;

Was this entire platform built out of jade?

Furthermore, it seemed to be a type of jade never seen before; its value was beyond imagination!

It was no wonder Meng would try to hack at this platform; even a tiny fragment would make this entire trip to Fulong Mountain completely worthwhile.

"What incredibly hard jade!"

The man's hand was still trembling, his voice unable to hide his shock.

He was a Level 7 Warrior, and the magnitude of his strength was self-evident; yet, a single strike had left the jade completely unscathed. This was simply impossible.

Even if a Level 9 Magical Beast were to take such a blow, it would at least leave a white mark, right?

Was this platform's jade even tougher than the defenses of a Level 9 Magical Beast?

For a moment, the man's heart began to race.

What kind of terrifying existence could possibly use this type of jade to build a platform?

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the man's forehead.

Likewise, the others suddenly realized the same thing.

In an instant, it seemed to explain why there were no Magical Beasts in Fulong Mountain—because even the beasts feared this unknown, terrifying existence.

The group swallowed hard.

Just then, a heavy, labored breathing sound suddenly echoed from the entrance of the valley.

They instinctively looked back to see that the valley entrance was once again shrouded in mist, and two Velociraptors, each over twenty meters long, were standing at the edge of the valley.

The two Velociraptors almost completely blocked the entrance, their tails lashing out and occasionally striking the nearby cliff walls, sending loose stones tumbling down.

Even an ordinary, tall horse would look like a small creature in front of these Velociraptors, which showed just how massive they were.

Two pairs of enormous eyes glinted with a cold, reddish light, and the sharp fangs lining their jaws were filled with a chilling menace.

Seeing this, the hearts of the group sank involuntarily.

Velociraptors?!

These were genuine Level 7 Magical Beasts!

Ever since the Transcendence, they had become one of the species humans understood most deeply; it was usually hard to see even one, yet there were two here in Fulong Mountain?!

How could this be?

If there were truly Velociraptors here, no one would have survived in Fulong Town for a long time.

"Meng... Meng-ge..."

The thin, gaunt man didn't even dare to wipe the sweat dripping into the corner of his eye.

Only Meng was a Level 7 Warrior; if Meng couldn't handle this, they were surely doomed.

Thud!

The two Velociraptors took a step forward.

The group instinctively retreated, and the legs of the two female warriors began to go soft.

However, the Magic Array was right behind them, leaving them nowhere to run, so they could only step back onto the array.

As soon as their feet touched the Magic Array, the two Velociraptors stopped.

The air exhaled from their nostrils resembled two streams of white smoke, carrying a heavy, pungent smell of sulfur that was extremely foul.

Seeing that the Velociraptors did not continue to advance, the group didn't dare to move.

"Watch for an opportunity, I will try to hold them off for a moment!"

The leader was the most composed of them all, but that was only relative.

After all, he didn't have the confidence to defeat even one Velociraptor, let alone two. Being able to buy the others some time was the most he could possibly do.

As for whether the others could escape, it was a matter of doing what one could and leaving the rest to fate.

Seeming to notice that the five had stopped moving, the two Velociraptors continued to advance, their eyes filled with visible brutality.

With every step they took, the ground seemed to tremble.

Even though they had heard the leader's words, the five couldn't help but retreat as they watched the Velociraptors advance.

At this point, the five were standing entirely within the Magic Array.

Just as the leader drew his broken blade to prepare for defense, the platform beneath their feet suddenly lit up with a milky white glow.

All five were drawn to this sudden change and couldn't help but look down.

The complex patterns on the platform suddenly flared with light, and before they could react, a mysterious halo of light instantly enveloped them.

By the time the glow dissipated, the five had completely vanished.

The two Velociraptors didn't seem surprised in the slightest; instead, they let out whimpering cries and collapsed onto the ground, shivering with fear.

At that moment, the figure of Fang Yun gradually manifested above the heads of the two Velociraptors.

Watching the five disappear, the corners of Fang Yun's mouth curled into a casual smile. "I hope your experience is interesting."

At the same time, Fang Yun intended to use them to verify exactly what World Power was.

Furthermore, what era is the Yulan Continent on the other side currently in?

He only knows through the Coiling Dragon in his mind that the other side of the Magic Array is the Yulan Continent, but he is unclear about the specific time period.

If it were not the era of Beirut, his true form could go over and take a look.

However, if Beirut has already become a Highgod, then he must carefully consider his options.

"You two, just stay here and keep watch."

Following this, Fang Yun spoke to the two Velociraptors; the Magic Array also needs someone to guard it, so he will make do with them for now.

These two Velociraptors are not local magical beasts; he captured them in the southern region of the Xizhou Empire. With his current strength, capturing two Velociraptors took practically no time at all.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the two Velociraptors could not summon even the slightest emotion of opposition.

The terror of this person is truly beyond their ability to describe; it seems as though a single glance from him is enough to end their lives.
