Chapter 984: The Siege of the Four Fragmented Voids
At this moment, Lachlan felt a sudden shift in the scenery before his eyes, accompanied by a sensation of weightlessness. He had entered the Lost Land.
What he saw was a world completely engulfed in fiery red.
This place seemed like a desolate wasteland, with crimson flames erupting from the ground everywhere.
Even where Lachlan stood, it was the same!
He felt as if he were in a sea of fire.
However, strangely enough, he did not feel any heat.
On the contrary, he sensed a chilling coldness emanating from these flames.
Within them, there seemed to be a hint of resentment!
“Such powerful resentment!”
“Where does this resentment come from?”
Lachlan’s eyes narrowed as he pondered silently.
Using the Heavenly Eye from his Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique, he could see that the space within the Lost Land was filled with wisps of black energy.
This represented some kind of ominous aura, resentment, evil energy… various negative energies!
Lachlan calmed his mind and opened the Treasure Map, following its guidance towards the marked location of the treasure.
At the same time, he felt an even stronger sense that some kind of consciousness here was trying to connect with the Nine Phoenix Blood Essence.
It seemed to be probing this crimson crystal!
Lachlan took out the Nine Phoenix Blood Essence and carefully observed and sensed it.
He could feel that it seemed to contain some kind of bloodline energy, likely condensed from the blood of some creature.
However, it didn’t seem to have any particular use.
It was only because it was a relic left by his mother that Lachlan paid special attention to it.
Holding the Nine Phoenix Blood Essence, he explored the Lost Land according to the map’s directions.
Meanwhile, he expanded his mental field, staying vigilant at all times.
Lachlan regretted using up his Soul Inquiry ability earlier while observing the Fire Spiritual Vein and the entrance to the Lost Land outside.
It would take another day before he could use this ability again.
What surprised Lachlan was that the Lost Land didn’t seem to be very large.
After walking over a hundred kilometers at a leisurely pace, he arrived at the location marked as “treasure” on the map.
Along the way, Lachlan encountered no danger.
He didn’t even see any living creatures!
The entire Lost Land looked like a desert scorched by fire.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The ground was charred black!
Everywhere he passed, there were flames burning intensely but without any heat.
This area was barren!
This made Lachlan feel even more uneasy.
The feeling of nothingness was more unsettling than suddenly encountering a few monsters.
When he arrived at the marked “treasure” location, which was roughly in the center of the Lost Land, what appeared before him was an enormous mound.
It stood over a hundred meters high, resembling a small mountain.
Lachlan didn’t think it was a mountain because he could sense a constant emission of corpse energy from within the mound.
This enormous mound felt more like a grave.
Inside, who knew what horrors were buried?
Standing there, Lachlan retracted his mental field and tried to probe inside with his mental power to investigate.
Buzz!
However, in the next second, he felt a shock in his mind.
A strong sense of resentment and anger blocked his mental power and even caused a slight backlash to his soul.
Lachlan’s actions seemed to trigger something!
In the next moment, four figures burst out from the enormous mound.
These four figures emitted incredibly powerful auras.
They were clearly four Powerful Fragmented Voids.
However, their eyes were vacant, and their faces twisted as if they had lost their sanity.
Without saying a word, they lunged at Lachlan and launched their attacks.
Seeing this, Lachlan’s expression changed!
He immediately recalled what Jerome Wynter had mentioned to him before.
The Ancient Wynter Family once had Powerful Fragmented Voids enter this Lost Land and never return.
Could it be that they were…
Indeed, that was exactly the case!
These four were the former family head and three Shattered Void Realm ancestors who entered the Lost Land thirty years ago and never came out.
Swish!
In an instant, the four Powerful Fragmented Voids attacked.
One of them, a middle-aged man in black robes, clawed at Lachlan with immense true energy mixed with the power of Way of Water.
However, he didn’t use any martial techniques or attack moves.
It looked more like an instinctive attack from an ordinary person or creature.
Despite having Shattered Void Realm strength, they didn’t exhibit any domain techniques or other means.
Their attack methods were crude!
Lachlan snorted coldly and met the attack with a punch.
At this moment, Lachlan’s punch carried the strength of a Late-stage Hollow Void peak. Without using domain techniques or other means, the attack power of these Powerful Fragmented Voids wasn’t necessarily stronger than Lachlan’s.
Although this black-robed middle-aged “man” had Mid-stage Fragmented Void strength,
When their claw collided with Lachlan’s fist, they were sent flying back.
Swish swish swish!
At the same time, the other three’s attacks arrived!
Lachlan hesitated for a moment but chose not to use any trump cards or divine abilities. Instead, he relied on his absolute strength and Sky Shaker physique to confront these four Powerful Fragmented Voids.
He had noticed something odd about them!
These four Powerful Fragmented Voids seemed like… mere puppets or zombies controlled by someone else.
Since they weren’t using domain techniques or other means, Lachlan was confident he could handle them!
