When alone, one's will is particularly fragile; when lonely, strength often becomes illusory. In this boundless land of yellow sand, Yi Tianxing strove to find a difference in order to solve the current mystery. To his disappointment, besides the occasional sound of the wind, there was only a heart-palpitating silence.

He didn't know how long he walked for, but the sky started to darken, and the distance between them became shorter and shorter. In such a strange environment, Yi Tianxing's heart was in turmoil. Even though the summit of the mountain was also lonely, one could always see the sun, the moon, and the stars. All of these scenes were within one's control, but here, everything was different.

Faced with the impending darkness, Yi Tian Xing, who had never experienced such a scene, could not help but feel a little panicked. Seeing the sky darken, Yi Tianxing realized that maintaining his composure and stamina was his priority in the face of this unknown darkness. He looked around and decided to take a rest.

Fortunately, the yellow sand here was very soft and had dug a simple hole in the ground. Yi Tian Xing immediately dove into it, and the small hole was just enough to fit Yi Tian Xing's body. After adjusting his posture, Yi Tian Xing immediately focused his attention on his surroundings and maintained a high level of vigilance.

Not long after, darkness shrouded the entire area, and there was not even a trace of starlight in sight. One could not even see one's own fingers in front of him. Yi Tian Xing immediately forced himself into a state of cultivation, using his most basic senses to sense everything around him to the maximum extent.

By chance, a cluster of dark green flames exploded not too far away from him, causing Yi Tianxing's heart to skip a beat. Soon after, balls of flames started to emit a dark green light from a distance.

Looking at such a ghastly scene, Yi Tian Xing could not help but tremble in fear no matter how bold he was. "These are just phosphorescence, there won't be any problems." Yi Tianxing comforted himself.

"Help!" It was this cry that made Yi Tian Xing enter the Sunset Valley. It was even more terrifying in the silence of the night. The echoes of his shouts reverberated through the darkness, like the howls of countless ghosts. Yi Tian Xing was forcing himself not to let his imagination run wild. Hearing these howls, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

While Yi Tian Xing was feeling conflicted, the seemingly ordinary necklace around Yi Tian Xing's neck underwent a subtle change. A sliver of yellow light was emitted from the pendant and flowed into Yi Tian Xing's body.

Feeling a warm current flowing into his heart, Yi Tian Xing's violently beating heart calmed down. This warm current flowed through Yi Tian Xing's entire body, relaxing Yi Tian Xing's mind. The darkness was not that scary after all.

A yellow light slowly rose from the pendant and shot into the sky. Yi Tian Xing, who was adjusting himself, immediately sensed a scene. At the end of the sand was a pile of gigantic bones that were obviously not human. Behind the bone was a huge shadow. Yi Tianxing tried his best to see clearly, but the whole picture instantly disappeared and the yellow light from the pendant dissipated at the same time.

Yi Tian Xing was stunned by the scene that appeared in his mind. Could this be a living hell?

The cries for help continued. Yi Tianxing wasn't as scared as he was at the start. He carefully searched for the source of the sound and soon locked on to the general direction it came from.

"Since it is daytime when we are here, it should be night time. No matter what happens, maintaining one's energy is the most important. We can go and see what those things are at dawn." Sensing the hidden mystery in the darkness, Yi Tianxing decided not to look at the flickering phosphorescence anymore.

The darkness had passed, and a faint yellow light slowly appeared on the horizon. The scene before his eyes was still as desolate as ever. After half a night of torture, Yi Tian Xing was able to make a brief recovery. Apart from a little bit of exhaustion, his physical strength had returned to its peak state. The Heaven Splitting Spell had improved slightly, and the golden rays of light in his neural network had also become more solid.

After sensing the position of the target, Yi Tian Xing began to move the equipment in his hands forward step by step. Remembering the fragments of the video he had sensed at night, Yi Tian Xing instinctively felt that the shadow behind that giant bone was probably the source of the cry for help.

As they climbed over a few hills, the scattered bones grew larger and larger. This was exactly the same as what Yi Tian Xing had seen before, which meant that they were heading in the right direction.

Looking at these scattered bones, Yi Tianxing felt that they weren't too far away from their destination. Maybe there was a huge danger waiting for him ahead. No matter what was ahead of him, he had to move forward.

The dull loess, the layer of unchanging color, caused Yi Tianxing's eyes to hurt a bit. Tears were continuously pricked by this layer of unchanging yellow light. Yi Tianxing had to stop from time to time to rest to ensure his best eyesight.

Most of the bones on the road had already eroded, and with a slight touch, they would turn into dust. Even the bones that were a few feet thick were as weak as sandstones. Just how many years had these bones been going through? What kind of accident had caused these piles of bones to be left behind? Yi Tianxing couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scattered bones.

After about an hour of travel, Yi Tianxing saw a shadow that looked like a mountain from afar, "Is this what he sensed that I couldn't see clearly?" What exactly is waiting for me there? "

He couldn't think too much into it. No matter what was ahead, he would have to face it. At the very least, if he wanted to leave this place, he would have to start from here. Yi Tianxing said to himself.

Arriving at a pile of bone walls, Yi Tianxing was shocked by the scene before him. What kind of power was behind such a wall? How many creatures would die in order to form such a wall?

Obviously, these bones were many times larger than the bones scattered outside. Yi Tianxing kicked at the bones, thinking that he could easily turn them into dust. Unexpectedly, he felt pain instead. There was a thin layer of bone dust on the surface of the kicked bone. Under the bone dust, a metallic glow was reflected.

He climbed up the bone wall and crawled to the top. Yi Tian Xing gazed into the distance, and the sight almost made him fall off the wall. He suppressed the urge to vomit and crawled back to the wall.
