From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 288 - 234: The Secret in Black Stone City

In Black Stone City.

Lu Heng stepped out of Blood Sacrifice Tower, preparing to look for a way to leave Black Stone City.

Just at that moment.

The Bloodline Demoness appeared with a squad of Bloodline Demons blocking the way ahead, raised her hand to point, and ordered, "Capture him!"

Lu Heng was still in the form of a Bloodline Demon, but it seemed his actions entering the Blood Sacrifice Tower had been exposed.

According to the stringent hierarchy of the Bloodline Demons, low-rank Bloodline Demons indeed had no right to enter Blood Sacrifice Tower.

Lu Heng turned and ran, preparing to use Shadow Traversal to escape the pursuit.

The Bloodline Demoness raised her arms and called for the power of the Ancestor above: "Ancestor Sealing!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Buzz buzz buzz...

The Blood Sacrifice Tower began to vibrate, and the ground extended out patterns like a spider web made of Bloodline Clan energy.

This energy of the Bloodline Ancestor Sealing spread across the ground and walls of the entire Black Stone City in the blink of an eye.

Lu Heng was shocked by this scene.

This Black Stone City already possesses power bestowed by the Bloodline Ancestor.

No wonder he had been discovered earlier.

When Lu Heng saw the statue of the Bloodline Ancestor inside the Blood Sacrifice Tower, he originally thought it was just a statue.

Now it seemed that this statue had received the blessing of the Bloodline Ancestor and possessed a portion of the Bloodline Ancestor’s power.

Just now, the Bloodline Demoness Salein had been calling upon the power of the Bloodline Ancestor to spread the Ancestor Sealing through the Blood Sacrifice Tower, covering the entire Black Stone City.

Shadow Traversal could exempt physical collisions, but the sealing power of the Bloodline Ancestor clearly did not belong to the physical realm.

Therefore, Shadow Traversal couldn’t penetrate the Bloodline Ancestor’s sealing.

Lu Heng’s gaze hardened; in this situation, it was impossible to escape by using Shadow Traversal through the walls. He could only use the main gate or some other secret passage.

However, after Salein’s shout, the entire Black Stone City was roused.

Countless Bloodline Demons rushed over from all directions.

Lu Heng cut down several with his sword, but it was an endless fight.

If he got held up and Salein caught up with him, with the power of the Bloodline Ancestor reinforcing her, her mental attacks could prove fatal.

Lu Heng dared not delay any longer, running forwards at the fastest speed, streaking across the ground like lightning, towards the direction of the gate of Black Stone City.

Upon reaching Black Stone Square, he suddenly saw the Bloodline Demons on the gate turning the winch, pulling up the drawbridge.

With a "thud" of a dull thump,

the gates of Black Stone City were completely shut, the gates covered with the Bloodline Ancestor Sealing.

Seeing this, Lu Heng’s gaze hardened, and immediately he turned and rushed towards the most complex old district of Black Stone City.

His mind rapidly recalled the structure of the sand table of Black Stone City, looking for a secret tunnel to escape.

However, upon reaching the old district in search of the secret tunnel, he was shocked to find the one Darkville had spoken of was sealed off at some point.

The situation was suddenly at a deadlock.

The Bloodline Demoness Salein grew a pair of blood wings on her back, flying in the sky, continuing to call upon the power of the Bloodline Ancestor, sending down blood-colored thunder strikes towards Lu Heng.

Lu Heng continued to weave through Black Stone City, recalling every passage on the sand table of Black Stone City, temporarily shaking off the pursuit of the Bloodline Demons.

Just as Lu Heng was considering how to escape,

a voice came from behind him: "If you don’t want to die, follow me."

Lu Heng turned around alertly, sword ready in defense: "Who are you?"

The person was cloaked, with black hair and black eyes, appearing to be in his twenties, with a buzz-cut and bright eyes.

He replied in the Da Xia language: "A Summoned, a person of Da Xia, you can call me Xie Shi’en. Salein is calling upon the strength of the Bloodline Ancestor, we must leave immediately, follow me."

He spoke fluent Da Xia language, which made Lu Heng lower his guard a bit. After a brief consideration, he followed the man, advancing along the bed of the Molten River.

Xie Shi’en sprinted along the bed of the Molten River, and upon reaching the Molten Lava Abyss, he looked back at Lu Heng and said, "If you want to get out, jump with me. If you’re afraid, then find your own way."

With that, he leaped into the Molten Lava Abyss.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Heng’s eyes; he looked down into the Molten Lava Abyss.

The Molten Lava Abyss was three hundred meters deep, and the magma from the Molten River flowed down, forming a crimson waterfall, a sight to behold.

Lu Heng glanced back; the Bloodline Demoness Salein was already pursuing him through the air.

It was now problematic to find another exit, and Lu Heng wasn’t particularly afraid of the magma.

Without hesitating much longer, he took the leap into the Molten Lava Abyss.

At the bottom of the Molten Lava Abyss, there was a half-cooled black reef.

Lu Heng released Source Energy over the soles of his feet and landed on the black reef, quickly stepping on the molten lava rocks while reducing the contact time between his soles and the reef.

Because his soles were protected by Source Energy, they wouldn’t be burned by the high temperature in the short term.

However, he must find an exit quickly; he couldn’t withstand the high temperature for long.

Xie Shi’en landed on the Magma Pool, spread his arms open to hold up an Energy Shield, lightly floating half a meter above the magma, completely unaffected by the lava.

He looked back at Lu Heng, then drifted forward, took out a Magic Wand, and held back the falling lava waterfall, revealing a hole behind the lava waterfall.

Immediately, he drifted into the hole.

Lu Heng opened his mouth to call him, but as soon as he spoke, the other man had already disappeared behind the lava waterfall.
