Li Yan nodded at Master Lan's words. They all understood what Master Lan meant; only the three of them knew this place's situation best.
When they had opened up this cave, they had fused the chaotic forces bit by bit into pure power, then drawn them away section by section.
This method was like hollowing out a cave packed full of mud and sand, little by little.
Yet during the hollowing process, the cleared areas would swiftly be filled again by chaotic forces surging in from the surroundings and behind them.
The three of them were simply extremely fast, so overall, their hollowing speed was roughly sixty to seventy percent faster than the chaotic forces' rate of replenishment.
Only in this manner had they been able to keep advancing and open a path to this point.
But the situation ahead now involved not only a baffling silver desert, but also a range of mountains and canyons at the end of one direction, where the chaotic forces multiplied severalfold.
With more than twice the chaotic force, Master Lan estimated that, given Li Yan's current cultivation, his fusion speed could still barely open a path forward, but it would make their progress exceedingly slow.
Fortunately, there was still hope of breaking through. Yet these chaotic forces kept appearing, and two places known so far were separated by deadly regions that even Fusion Realm cultivators feared immensely.
Then would even greater dangers and unknowns appear beyond the canyon? Since this was a deadly region, that possibility was instead the most likely one.
If the chaotic force increased threefold again, then with Li Yan's present cultivation, even if his true body appeared, their rate of fusing the chaotic forces would not be able to keep up with their replenishment.
Perhaps they could only try
