Luo Ao and his two companions flew swiftly through the air, soon crossing one towering mountain range after another.

"Mr. Weiersi, are there any extremely dangerous, troublesome figures in this Stalag Planar Prison?" A trace of strain showed on Luo Ao's face as he asked.

What he feared most was that one or two of the top experts in this Planar Prison might suddenly escape.

"If we're talking about the most terrifying figure in all of Stalag Planar Prison, it would have to be that 'Demon Dragon,' Zennard. You could say there isn't a second person in all of Suolage Prison who can compare to him."

"Ever since Zennard rose to power, there has been only one voice in all of Stalag Planar Prison."

"You could say he rules the entire Stalag Planar Prison single-handedly." Merely recalling the sight of that lord's back made a trace of fear rise involuntarily in Weiersi's blue-green eyes.

It was clear just how powerful an existence this so-called Demon Dragon, Zennard, was.

"Zennard?" After hearing Weiersi's account, Luo Ao could not help frowning. He hoped this Demon Dragon had yet to discover this weak point in space.

Otherwise, if that fellow escaped, he was certainly not someone Luo Ao could handle as he was now.

"Mr. Luo Ao, you needn't worry too much. This weak point in space is actually very difficult to detect. I only managed to get out because I was relatively lucky." Perhaps noticing Luo Ao's poor mood, Weiersi hurriedly offered a few words of reassurance.

"I happened to be near this weak point in space, and I was the only Deity Level expert in its immediate vicinity, so naturally, I discovered it first and took the opportunity to return to the Boya Continent," Weiersi added.

In truth, it was simply because the Planar Prison had such a large population that there would be people near any weak point in space.

Weiersi had been lucky enough to be nearby, which was why he had escaped first. But once he left, the territory he left behind would naturally be occupied by other experts.

As time passed, more and more people would naturally discover the "loophole" here, and more and more experts would gradually escape through it.

If we just leave it alone, the Boya Continent will fall into chaos sooner or later, Luo Ao thought to himself.

He could already foresee that, as more and more Deity Level experts in this territory "vanished without cause," sooner or later, it would draw the attention of some of the truly powerful experts in Stalag Planar Prison!

It was just impossible to determine how long that would take.

If they were unlucky, it might draw the attention of some formidable experts in ten or a hundred years.

If they were lucky, it might remain undiscovered for a thousand or ten thousand years.

"Let's hope our luck isn't that bad." After hearing Luo Ao and Weiersi's analysis, Echidna, too, felt a little shaken by the danger.

After all, according to Weiersi, although Highgods were relatively rare in the Planar Prison, there were certainly more than just one or two. It was not impossible for someone to discover this place.

"There's no need for you two to worry about the sky falling like this. What you don't know is that the experts in this Planar Prison rarely communicate with one another, and information doesn't spread particularly well." In other words, as long as their luck was not too terrible, no supreme expert would discover it in the short term, at least.

"Besides, breaking through this weak point in space isn't actually that easy. Even a Life Law God like me has to get serious to do it," Weiersi continued, trying to ease their worries.

"By my estimate, you would need at least the strength of a peak Lowgod, or even strength approaching that of a God, to barely force open a temporary spatial passage for a short time." Weiersi's next words finally let the two breathe a little easier.

After all, although there were powerful experts in the Planar Prison, far more of its inhabitants were Saint-level experts and Lowgods.

A God like Weiersi could actually already be considered a figure of some standing in his own territory.

The three discussed matters as they traveled, soon arriving above Gloomy Gorge.

"Mr. Luo Ao, I came out of a deep cavern down there. Follow me." Weiersi took the lead, flying ahead, with Luo Ao and Echidna close behind. The three plunged straight into a place where no light could be seen at all.

The three entered an extremely narrow, dark passage and arrived in a pitch-black cavern suffused with the power of frost.

"Mr. Luo Ao, look over there-"

Weiersi pointed upward, and Luo Ao and Echidna immediately tilted their heads back to look at the cavern ceiling.

"Is that the magic formation?"

A huge azure circular platform lay exposed at the top of the cavern, embedded overhead in midair.

Originally, parts of the huge platform's surface had actually been concealed by rock. But when Weiersi burst out through here, the mysterious magic formation at the top of the cavern had instantly been laid completely bare.

"What a complex magic formation. I've never seen anything like it..."

Luo Ao and Echidna soon focused their attention on the azure circular platform. All manner of intricate magical markings covered it, their various patterns complex to the extreme.

But the lines of this magic formation, which should have been perfectly ordered, were now riddled with cracks like a spiderweb.

Even incomplete, the magic formation laid out on this azure circular platform looked incomparably complex.

Complex, mysterious, profound-those were the only impressions this magic formation left on Luo Ao.

If it had been a magic formation for an ordinary seventh- or eighth-rank spell, Luo Ao could have barely made sense of it.

But a magic formation of this level... he truly did not understand the first thing about it.

Luo Ao knew very well that the mysteries of magic formations were likewise vast and profound.

Even in the Divine Planes and Higher Planes, masters who truly understood magic formations were few and far between.

There probably isn't anyone in a Material Plane who could repair a magic formation of this level. Luo Ao's heart immediately sank.

Not every Material Plane had a Sovereign stationed in it. This situation was already beyond Luo Ao's capabilities.

I was still hoping the magic formation itself wasn't too badly damaged, but now... If the formation's lines themselves had not been too severely damaged, there would still have been a chance of barely keeping it running by inserting another Divine Artifact with suitable compatibility.

But as things stood, the formation's lines were so thoroughly damaged that their original form was completely unrecognizable. Expecting the few of them to "repair" it was utterly impossible.

"Luo Ao, why don't we go find Miss Betty? She's the planar overseer. Perhaps she has a way to repair this magic formation." Echidna suddenly thought of something, and her eyes immediately lit up.

In her view, since this planar overseer had the authority to exile others to the Planar Prison, perhaps she also had a way to repair this sealing magic formation.

"It looks like we can only go and ask her." Luo Ao had no other way. He could only ask whether Betty had any means specifically suited to this.

In terms of strength alone, Betty was probably no match for him now. But she was, after all, a planar overseer and could be considered to have a Sovereign at her back. Perhaps she had some other way.
