The world spun around him once more.
Light gradually returned before Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he landed on the ground from midair with Xie Jingxin in his arms.
Xie Jingxin carried me bridal-style in the [Underworld-Penetrating Soul-Severing Palace], so now I've returned the favor. Though I've left the Six Heavens Demon King Palace, I picked up plenty of treasures, so the trip wasn't wasted. If I could get in once, I can get in again. Now, let's see where this is...
Zhang Yuan sank onto one knee, holding Xie Jingxin bridal-style. Before he could steady himself, while he was still pondering, a rolling wave of heat struck him head-on.
Hmm?
This conceptual image...
As a Celestial Person of the sha ingestion gang devoration path, Zhang Yuan was exceptionally sensitive to the divine sense conceptual images between heaven and earth. He immediately detected something amiss: the conceptual image of this world did not match the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm.
More importantly, after passing through the spatial rift and arriving here...
His conceptual image as a nine-turn qi refining perfected person had not weakened. Instead, it had risen to the very limit of a ten-turn qi refining perfected person, leaving him just one step away from the Celestial Person level.
This definitely isn't the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm!
Zhang Yuan raised his eyes, surveying the world from afar with his Celestial Person divine sense.
This was a circular world. The sky was round, and so was the earth, while the terrain was exceedingly strange. From the observable edges of the land, concentric rings rose upward, tier after tier like a staircase. Each tier was almost identical in length and thickness, and every step bristled with earthen spikes sharp as blades and swords, resembling mountains of knives.
"This is... the [Prison-Warden Soul-Pitying Palace]."
