The platform was a meter high, entirely azure and crimson in color.
No one knew what material it had been made from.
Xu Zimo stepped forward and surveyed it from all sides.
Only then did he discover two small grooves on top of the platform, one of which was empty.
The other had a Round Bead embedded within it.
The Round Bead was turquoise, looking like a piece of amber, incomparably pure.
Its exterior gleamed, while its interior was crystal clear.
With a single glance, Xu Zimo knew there was something wrong with the ten pillars around it.
Yet the high platform stood surrounded by those pillars.
Xu Zimo pondered for a moment before walking into the circle of pillars.
A buzzing sound rang out all around him.
The moment Xu Zimo entered, the ten cylindrical pillars emitted dazzling azure radiance.
The azure light shot into the heavens, its might vast and surging.
Wind and clouds churned above the hall, while waves of air rolled forth one after another.
Like a winding river with nine bends, its momentum was immense.
The azure radiance actually connected together, likewise forming a circular barrier that enclosed Xu Zimo tightly within.
The barrier began shrinking bit by bit.
Xu Zimo frowned slightly. He could sense that the barrier contained an incomparably terrifying power.
Touch it, and death was certain.
"Is this the power of the Wind Extinguishing Pearl?" Xu Zimo murmured softly.
As the encirclement slowly contracted, sooner or later, he would be crushed into nothingness by that power.
Xu Zimo raised Overlord Shadow in his hand, spiritual energy surging around him.
He slashed several times in succession, attempting to break the barrier.
Yet the barrier was impregnable. None of Xu Zimo's attacks could harm it.
"Looks like Situ Yunfei didn't lie to me.
