“What should I do?”
Ye Qiu smiled. What else could he do in this situation?
The only way was to break the array.
Ye Qiu’s knowledge of array formations was definitely his weakness. He wasn’t very good at it. However, at this point, he could use this opportunity to experience this so-called strange forbidden array.
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at the injured disciples behind him. He thought for a moment and took out many Great Recovery Pills from his storage jade.!!
“All of you, rest on the spot and recover from your injuries. I’ll study the profundities of this array.”
After saying that, he handed the Great Recovery Pill to Meng Tianzheng and let him make his own arrangements. Then, he began to study the forbidden technique.
As soon as the Heavenly Eye opened, Ye Qiu’s gaze entered the strange forbidden rune technique to explore its profundities.
Suddenly, an energy fluctuation flashed past. Ye Qiu followed the direction of the energy.
Under the chaos and darkness, he vaguely saw a forbidden cage, the Abyss of Death under the ten-thousand-year-old cold lake.
“Hiss…”
Ye Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air and was shocked. He didn’t expect such a cage to be hidden under this forbidden array.
Ye Qiu immediately wanted to personally see who was imprisoned in the cage.
“Protect me here. I’ll use the Soul Travel Great Void Technique and go down to take a look.”
Ye Qiu sat down and immediately used the Soul Travel Great Void Technique. In an instant, his soul left his body and passed through the strange taboo to reach the bottom of the abyss.
The surrounding dilapidated ancient battlefield ruins gave off a very miserable and cold feeling.
The ghosts everywhere seemed to be nourishing the mysterious expert below.
When Ye Qiu arrived at a lotus platform, he could already see the abyss in the darkness. It was trapped on the lotus platform by chains.
As if sensing that an outsider was visiting, the disheveled man in the darkness slowly raised his head. His pale face was covered in wounds. It was the hardships of time and millions of years of pain that had caused his mind to sink. He moved slightly, and the chains on the ground creaked. In this quiet environment, it was especially ear-piercing.
“It’s been tens of thousands of years. You’re the first person to come here.”
Ye Qiu frowned. He looked at the weathered man and felt like he had been washed away by time. His tone was extremely lonely.
“Who are you?”
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but ask. The ragged man looked up at the crescent moon above his head and lowered his head with a bitter smile.
“Haha… I’ve been here for too long. Who am I? I might not even remember myself. I only remember that they called me the Lord of the Forbidden Area.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a shocking aura swept over. Ye Qiu’s heart trembled, and he felt like he was looking straight at death.
This person was very strong.
Ye Qiu could feel that he was stronger than any opponent he had ever encountered. Even the White Tiger Li Tian was not even one ten-thousandth as strong as him. However, what he could not figure out was why such a powerful figure was trapped here.
What kind of terrifying existence was the person who had once sealed him here?
“Lord of the Forbidden Area?”
Ye Qiu frowned and stared at him, trying to see something from him. However, at a glance, it was like swimming through the sea of stars.
“Yes, I grew up under the darkness of chaos. My hands are covered in blood. Some call me the Butcher, some call me the Lord Bury, and some call me… the Lord of the Forbidden Area.”
As the Lord of the Forbidden Area spoke, he fell into his memories. Perhaps it had been too long since he had seen a stranger, but he appeared exceptionally amiable.
Ye Qiu looked at him deeply and asked the question in his heart, “Why are you trapped here?”
Yes, what Ye Qiu was most puzzled about was why a powerful person like him was trapped here.
The Lord of the Forbidden Area was silent for a long time. Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, as if it was very painful. After struggling for a while, the chain let out a rustling sound.
“Why am I trapped here? I…”
The Lord of the Forbidden Area was recalling something. He calmed down and suddenly raised his head. His eyes were deep and empty. As if remembering something, he said, “Young man, have you heard of the Longevity Calamity?”
“Longevity Calamity?”
Ye Qiu was stunned. This was the first time he had heard this word.
“That’s right. The Longevity Calamity is a great calamity that erupted in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands at the beginning of the Chaotic Ancient Era. It’s the source of the dark chaos.”
As he spoke, the Lord of the Forbidden Area looked at the surrounding world and said, “This is the forbidden zone of the Burial Ground, my training hall. Back then, when longevity was in chaos, he was sealed here with me. There are some things I might have forgotten, but I remember those dark years very clearly.”
The Lord of the Forbidden Area smiled. He didn’t continue. Ye Qiu sensed his abnormality. He asked again, “What is the Longevity Calamity? What did you experience back then?”
Lord of the Forbidden Area still did not answer. Instead, he smiled at Ye Qiu. His gaze was deep, making Ye Qiu’s hair stand on end.
Could this guy have some strange eccentricity? Why are you looking at me like that?
As if he had seen through Ye Qiu’s thoughts, the Lord of the Forbidden Area smiled. “Haha! Young man, do you know what I just saw?”
“What did you see?”
Ye Qiu didn’t understand. He only felt that this person was crazy. He was definitely crazy. His words were strange and random, pretending to have deep meaning.
The Lord of the Forbidden Area ignored his thoughts and said silently, “I was deducing the future just now. At the end of time, I saw a white figure standing alone on a tall mountain. Perhaps you are the key to that situation, young man… I am filled with endless expectations for your future.”
This was the highest evaluation of the Lord of the Forbidden Area.
This made Ye Qiu feel a little flattered. However, on second thought, he couldn’t be happy.
“What situation? Can you tell me in detail?”
The Lord of the Forbidden Area shook his head and continued, “No, no…”
“You are still too weak to withstand this karma.”
His nose twitched slightly. The Lord of the Forbidden Area seemed to smell a familiar smell, and his eyes were filled with surprise. After a while, he returned to normal and continued, “Hmm, I smell the aura of an old friend on you. Looks like… it’s already destined.”
At this point, he smiled. A terrifying smile appeared on his pale face.
Ye Qiu felt his blood run cold, but he also felt that it was strange.
The aura of an old friend?
Who?
Ye Qiu couldn’t guess.
After an unknown period of time, the aura of the Lord of the Forbidden Area suddenly changed. In an instant, a shocking force pounced towards Ye Qiu.
“Oh no!”
Ye Qiu’s strength was greatly reduced in the state of being a soul. He was just about to leave. He realized that he had been attracted to the Lord of the Forbidden Area and pulled him over.
At this moment, Ye Qiu had a despairing thought.
“It’s over…”
“I’m toasted…”
