Emerging from the water, Jared looked up and saw pitch-black darkness overhead. There wasn't a
single trace of light above, as even the hole he had fallen through was no longer visible.
However, the water around him emitted a faint glow. Relying on the light, Jared noticed the water
wasn't ink-black but a pale red. Moreover, the surface of the water even shimmered.
"Could this not be part of the Night Sea?" Jared was confused. After all, the island was in the middle of
the Night Sea. Since he had dropped from the hole, he figured he might've fallen right through the
middle and into the Night Sea.
But now, judging by the color of the water, it seemed he wasn't floating in the Night Sea, where the
seawater was ink-black and gave off an unpleasant smell.
At that moment, the water around him was pale red and clear. Furthermore, submerged in the water,
Jared felt invigorated. Every pore of his body seemed to have opened up to absorb the spiritual energy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin the surroundings, making him feel warm all over.
The water appeared to possess the properties of cleansing one's soul and rejuvenating one's spirit.
"How could the water here be so rich in spiritual energy? How strange. Where exactly is this?"
Jared's eyes were filled with astonishment. This is not mere water. It's spiritual water!
Still, regardless of how comforting soaking in the water felt, Jared decided it was best to head to the
shore. Upon reaching land, he noticed the ground was covered in pebbles. This looks like a sandbank,
but I jumped into a hole on the island, so how could I possibly land on a sandbank? Could this be the
inner part of the island? Is this island hollow?
Jared scanned his surroundings but didn't see any evil spirits around. Those evil spirits seemed to
have stopped showing up and attacking Jared after he fell to a certain depth. Earlier, he was too
focused on not falling to his death that he didn't pay attention to anything else.
Jared tried extending his spiritual sense again but still couldn't detect anything. It was as if the entire
area was placed under a restriction. He could only step on the pebbles and move forward, hoping to
make some discovery ahead.
However, he couldn't help but feel something was amiss after taking a few steps, prompting him to
bend down and pick one of the pebbles up for a closer look.
Upon examining the pebble, he was instantly: shocked. These aren't stones at all. They're clearly
bones that have petrified over time!
Looking at the lapidified skeletons covering the ground, Jared felt a shiver run down his spine. How
many people must've perished here to leave behind these countless remains? Considering that this
used to be an ancient battlefield, I suppose all the people who died here must've been extraordinary!
As he strode further ahead, the forms of the skeletons littered across the ground became more
distinguishable, proving that no one had set foot in this place all these years.
Regardless of them being immortals or Demonic Cultivators in the past, all had been reduced to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnothing but piles of bones.
Among them were skeletons of beasts, likely the mounts of the immortals or Demonic Cultivators who
participated in the great battle.
Jared couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't fathom what had been the cause of the Celestial Battle, which
resulted in such a tragic catastrophe. The demon race was almost exterminated, while the other
species also sustained heavy casualties. Was that all necessary?
Lost in thought, Jared suddenly felt his body stiffen as if an intense aura was calling out to him.
That sensation made his heart race, akin to the feeling a man experienced when encountering the
woman he loved. Jared knitted his brows slightly and gradually moved in the direction guided by that
sensation.
He didn't know how vast that place was, nor could he scout the area with his spiritual sense. Moreover,
the surroundings were dimly lit, making it difficult for him to see beyond where he stood.
However, after walking for some time, the scene that soon came into view took his breath away.
