The Fiery Rock Desert was a desert that stretched for thousands of miles. It was hot all year round, and not a single blade of grass grew there. It was known as a forbidden zone for life.
It was rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a vast ocean there. Because of a great battle, the ocean disappeared and turned into scorched earth. It became a forbidden zone for life.
"I am finally here."
Standing outside the Flaming Rock Desert, Gray looked at the Flaming Rock Desert that was emitting a strange heat and not even a blade of grass grew. His face lit up with joy. After traveling at the speed of a tortoise for a month, he had finally arrived here.
He could clearly feel the connection between himself and the people who had been resurrected by the resurrection power. With this connection, he could find the entrance to the plane even with his eyes closed.
The only thing he had to worry about was how strong the people from the Light Temple who were guarding the entrance to the plane were. Last time, the people from the Light Temple who were guarding the entrance to the plane were all killed by him. The Light Temple must have sent a stronger force to protect it.
Of course, his current power was not what it used to be. Compared to five years ago, he was many times stronger. As long as it was not a sixth-tier Annihilation elite, he was confident he could defeat and kill them.
When the time came, he could use the resurrection power to resurrect these people. He could hide it from the Light Temple and take control of the plane.
Whoosh!
He walked close to the ground. He used his mind connection to go deeper into the Fiery Rock Desert. After a day, he was thousands of miles deep into the Fiery Rock Desert. He finally approached the entrance to the plane.
In the distance, he could see a tall building. It was built with the unique stone of the desert. It was very majestic and spectacular.
In the battle back then, the building was damaged. Now, it had been repaired.
Gray looked to the side of the building. There was a black barrier that was a few hundred feet in diameter. It stood there very strangely. That was the entrance to the plane.
Gray's eyes flashed with anticipation. He then looked to the side of the building. He was going to hide in that building.
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger. Then, he saw a golden light that looked like lightning and fire shoot out from the place that was originally empty. It quickly shot toward him.
"Oh, no. I have been discovered."
His face changed. He stomped hard on the ground. As the dirt and rocks flew, his body jumped back to where he had been.
Poof!
The golden beam of light that looked like both lightning and fire pierced through like a peerless sword, leaving behind a bottomless hole that was filled with traces of melting.
"Where are they hiding?"
Using the force of the leap, Gray retreated more than a hundred meters. His eyes vigilantly looked at the empty place where there was no one.
There was a huge rock there. It was no different from the other rocks in the Fiery Rock Desert, except that it was huge.
Buzz —
The mountain rocks swayed slightly like water ripples. Then, three young people walked out from the mountain rocks. Two men and one woman. All of them had cold and arrogant expressions on their faces. A haughty aura was emitted from their bodies.
"After waiting in this damned place for so long, I've finally arrived!"
The woman among the three wrinkled her nose and wiped the sweat on her forehead, full of resentment.
The Fiery Rock Desert was a very special place. It was hot all year round and the temperature was extremely high. The most troublesome thing was that this kind of heat could not be eliminated by any temperature control runic array. Even if one took a few baths every day, they would still feel uncomfortable.
For someone like her who loved cleanliness and beauty, this was simply unimaginable torture. Therefore, she was extremely resentful towards Gray, who was the culprit behind all this.
"Gibbert, why did you suddenly attack?
Our mission is to block their retreat. His opponent is Her Highness the Saintess. "
Among the three, a tall and good-looking young man frowned and looked at the young man next to him with dissatisfaction.
"Her Highness the Saintess is so strong that even the Darkness Temple's Holy Son is no match for her. Is he worthy of fighting Her Highness the Saintess?"
The last of the three, a young man with a high nose, looked at Gray with contempt.
"He is not worthy of being Her Highness the Saintess' opponent. Let me kill him for Her Highness the Saintess!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light that resembled both lightning and flames shot towards Gray with a terrifying momentum. At the same time, he also pounced towards Gray.
He was one of the most outstanding disciples of the Radiant Saint Hall aside from the Saintess. He admired the Saintess, who was like a perfect goddess.
Now was the time to show off his excellence to the Saintess. If he could defeat the opponent that the Saintess saw as her opponent, he would definitely be able to gain her favor.
As a result, when he saw Gray, he immediately gave up on his previous plans and attacked Gray brazenly.
"Since this person can gain Her Highness the Saintess' attention, he probably isn't weak. Let me help you."
Seeing the young man with a high nose charge towards Gray, a gleam of light flashed through the eyes of the tall young man. He also drew his sword and charged over. A terrifying whirlwind mixed with fire, metal, and lightning shot towards Gray like a terrifying spinning blade.
The young man with a high nose admired the Saintess, but so did he.
In reality, there were plenty of people who admired the Saintess among the younger generation of the Radiant Saint Hall. However, most of them knew their limits, so they had given up on the thought of winning her heart long ago. Only the most outstanding disciples below the Saintess continued to fight over her.
"What's going on?
Has the Radiant Saint Hall already discovered my whereabouts? "
Gray's heart sank when he saw the three people who had appeared. He studied the surroundings cautiously.
The three of them clearly knew that he would come here, so they hid here to ambush him. The Radiant Saint Hall should have discovered him already. Although he had been extremely careful, he had never thought that the Radiant Saint Hall would still discover him.
Swish!
Wu!
The strangely-shaped golden streak of light and the strange whirlwind shot over together. They produced a terrifying pressure of wind as they attacked him.
Coldness flashed through his eyes when he saw the two incoming attacks. Whether the Radiant Saint Hall had discovered him or whether there were people hiding in the darkness aside, he would kill the two of them first.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his right hand, the dark green mist condensed and expanded outwards in an arc. Just the invisible pressure of wind that it produced was enough to shatter the huge rocks in the surroundings.
Boom!
The strangely shaped golden light beam and the strangely shaped tornado were easily shattered by the dark green fog arc. The dark green fog arc attacked the young man with the high nose bridge and the tall young man with the tall figure.
"What? So powerful?"
The expressions of the two young men changed. One of them erected a golden barrier of light in front of him, while the other erected a barrier of wind in front of him.
However, the golden barrier of light and the barrier of wind were easily shattered by the arc of dark green mist. The arc of dark green mist struck the two of them.
Spurt! Spurt!
As if they had been struck by a huge wave, the two of them were blown away with hideous, corrosive wounds all over their bodies. They spat out blood, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive when they landed.
"How is this possible?"
The young woman among the three of them was hesitating about whether she should attack Gray together, but she had never thought that in the next moment, the fate of her two companions would be unknown.
Cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she could not help but retreat rapidly. Their opponent's strength was not something the three of them could deal with.
"Could it be …?"
Gray ignored the young woman who was retreating rapidly. Instead, he looked behind the woman sternly.
A golden streak of light shot over from behind the woman. It was so fast that it was no slower than him using time acceleration. Within the golden streak of light was the figure of a graceful woman.
Combined with the words of the two young men from before, he already had an idea of the woman's identity.
Swish!
The golden streak of light stopped several hundred meters away from him. The golden streak of light dispersed, and a young woman with long, platinum hair appeared.
The woman wore a white battle suit. Both her figure and face were perfect.
Every part of her body was curvaceous. It was hard to believe that such a perfect woman really existed.
"The Radiant Saint …"
Gray's expression was solemn as he read out the other party's identity. As expected, it was the other party. Five years had passed since that battle, and he had encountered the other party again.
