Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Within a Teleportation Array, space slowly split open, forming an oval exit.
Amid a surge of spirit light from gold-and-silver runes, a figure emerged from the oval opening. Violet-gold arcs shuddered over his entire body, which was encased in a metallic shell already riddled with cracks...
The golden figure climbed to his feet, cursing, "Tsk! I nearly got torn to pieces!"
As he spoke.
Crack! The metallic shell covering him kept splitting and peeling apart. Metal fragments clattered down, exposing skin covered in hideous bloody gashes. It was Ye Han.
With a casual flick of his finger, he wrapped himself in a long blue-green robe, his sharp gaze sweeping in every direction...
He found himself in a desert that stretched endlessly out of sight...
Ye Han looked down. He stood atop a huge, pitch-black metal statue of a Primordial Ancient Beast, less than half of which protruded from the desert. It was covered in weathering marks accumulated over who knew how long.
Beside him was a Teleportation Array, which likewise looked as though no one had visited it in ages...
Ye Han channeled the Eye Spirit Art into his eyes and looked farther into the distance, but there was still nothing but endless desert...
At the sight, Ye Han muttered in bewilderment, "More desert ahead? Have I reached the Third Layer, or somewhere else?"

The skin covered in bloody gashes slowly healed before his eyes...
This was no ordinary healing medicine. A single bottle cost hundreds
