--- Chapter 110 ---

"Hey..."

"Don't you think this Secret Realm is slightly too big?" Yao Ling commented while looking around the red desert.

"Oh, you think?!" Everyone in the group glared at her.

With the help of Xue Rongrong's beast form, they have traveled several kilometers, but this red desert has no end. If what Lan Rou said about the lush forest earlier was true, this desert is three thousand miles vast or roughly 5000 kilometers.

And it's been exactly three hours since they entered Sage Kingdom Secret Realm. They haven't found a single person who entered this Secret Realm earlier.

Baek Ain counted over fifty thousand people entering the portal earlier, having the strength of the weakest being 1-Star Dou Ancestor and the strongest being a Half-Saint Expert.

Fifty thousand people is a massive number, but where are they?

Another hour passed, and Baek Ain kept the area in check with Ashen's Eyes, noticing something weird. He frowned and focused on the red desert as his eyes' color turned ashen.

"Ain-!" Yi Xian was about to call him, but Cai Lin stopped her by stuffing a sandwich into her mouth.

"Wai diz yu zo zhat?!"

Cai Lin gave Yi Xian a quiet motion while stuffing another sandwich and pointed at Baek Ain's full concentration mode.

Everyone waited patiently, not moving in the slightest beside Xue Rongrong because she was their ride.

Baek Ain snapped out thirty minutes later, laughing like a madman.

"I found it!"

"I found the way to crack this joke desert." Baek Ain grinned at his companions.

Ashen's Eyes(S) is a skill that allows him to see through lies and discover the truth. And coupled with the influence of the Ashen-Eyed Behemoth, the eyes let Baek Ain witness Spatial Strength's lines for his good.

The truth about this seemingly infinite red desert is an array.

Or precisely, a large-scale array that covered the whole three thousand miles of area. It's a spatial altering array, which could affect one's sense and overall vision.

They have been wandering around for hours, not realizing the red desert is a trap for eliminating intruders. Sage Kingdom Secret Realm is not just a mere pocket dimension. It's an unknown area containing unknown dangers.

Baek Ain told Xue Rongrong to drop from the sky, and everyone landed on the red sand again. They looked at Baek Ain curiously, watching him patting the ground with his hand.

An array formation is like math, in a way. All one needs is the formula here and there to crack the answer.

If any Array Master entered the Sage Kingdom Secret Realm, it would take them a month or a week if they were skilled enough. However, Baek Ain possessed [Parallel Thinking, [Eidetic Memory], and [Profound Temporal Eye].

These three skills are akin to a cheat sheet for Baek Ain.

And in just five minutes, Baek Ain pulled out Earth Cleaver and stabbed it onto the ground.

Crack! Kacha!

BOOM!

The red sand flew everywhere and exploded, revealing another Wormhole.

[Ding! You have learned "Three Thousand Desert Array."]

[Ding! Array Mastery's Skill created due to your comprehension]

[Name: Array Mastery]

[Type: Passive]

[Grade: B+]

[Description: A mastery of array, which includes Sealings, Enhancement, Formation, and Profound Laws]

Baek Ain smiled because he had learned quite a great skill. He doesn't have to worry about people trapping him inside Array like Xiao Long from Han Feng's group a few months ago.

That white-haired fellow is surely weaker than other Dou Venerate, but his mastery over the array is so great he could weaken Baek Ain's strength significantly.

"Well, let's go in." Baek Ain told his companion.

...

As they entered the wormhole, they arrived at a lush forest with countless trees over fifty meters. These trees appeared sturdy and had a bunch of purple-colored leaves, which made an excellent yet weird contrast with the green sky.

"Senior Rongrong." Baek Ain glanced at the massive Nether Bird.

Xue Rongrong nodded and flew up, smacking herself against an invisible barrier instead. She comically fell onto the ground with her butt up and face down.

"D-Don't watch." She cried out and covered her blushed bird face.

Yao Ling clicked her tongue and commented, "Tsk, Who wants to look at your bird's ass anyway."

Yafei and Yi Xian have funny looks on their faces, smiling at such a bizarre scene.

"Another array?" Cai Lin asked Baek Ain.

Baek Ain nodded helplessly and answered, "The people who made this Secret Realm is cautious as fuck. Well, I can't blame them because a place at such a large scale needed so many protections."

"The problem is..."

"If a Half-Saint couldn't detect this array, it means the person who created this Secret Realm is possibly A Saint Realm Expert." Lan Rou interjected with her assumption.

They are wary when entering the Infinite Red Desert and think of some suspicion, but this forest confirms it.

Returning to her human form, Xue Rongrong slowly walked to Baek Ain dejectedly like a child who had done something wrong and said, "Sorry, Saint."

"My ability is lacking."

Baek Ain was amused and replied, "It's okay."

"Who would have thought someone put an array to cover the sky?"

Yao Ling lifted her nose proudly and stepped onward, "It's time to show all of you the amazing ability of Nine Serene Deep Ground Python!"

Cai Lin rolled her eyes because even she wasn't this narcissistic about her Nine Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's status. She realized her lineage meant nothing before Baek Ain's Behemoth Inheritance.

Yes, Cai Lin believed Baek Ain obtained an inheritance of Divine Beast: Behemoth, and she was lucky to gain a portion of it. That's the only reasonable explanation.

There is no way something like this appears out of thin air, right?

Right??

Yao Ling's body blinked with brown-colored light as she expanded into a massive python. Her body length is around seventy meters with a width of fifteen meters.

She was "neatly." covered in yellowish-brown scales, which increased her defensive prowess by leap. Of course, that doesn't mean she was slow because Nine Serene Deep Ground Python always had the advantage on the ground level.

"Saintess, everyone. Jump on!" She excitedly swayed her tail, pointing at her neck.

Baek Ain and others followed the instruction as Yao Ling moved deeper into the forest.

The deeper they go, the darker it gets.

The sky is no longer visible as the purple-colored leaves have covered everything above.

SWOOSH! KRASK!

They felt a movement from the surrounding. It wasn't just one, but several of it.

Clank!

Baek Ain lifted the Dragon Cleaver and parried an arrow aimed at his head.

On the massive tree branch, Baek Ain could see an androgynous human with an owl-shaped mask standing. This fellow held a bow previously used to shoot an arrow at his head.

Then, a rain of arrows occurred.

Baek Ain grimaced because these arrows were "strongly." infused with Spatial Strength and weird-type Dou Qi.

"Rou." He said while preparing to unleash a roar.

"Got it." Lan Rou used her Dou Technique and created a gray-colored mist to surround the area, blinding everyone.

The rain of arrows approached, but Baek Ain countered them effortlessly with a single sweep of his blade. The wisp of Blade Intent traveled and slashed through, turning them into dust.

[Howl of Sovereign White Tiger]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!!

A mighty roar echoed in the forest, stunning Baek Ain's foe for a few seconds.

It was more than enough for him to do another counter.

"Yi Xian." Baek Ain called his little poison lady.

Yi Xian smiled and opened her fair white palm. She released a purple-colored poison and spread it into the atmosphere.

Baek Ain activated his White Poison Aura, enveloping the foe with paralyzing poison.

"ARRRGH!!"

Several screams echoed not far away.

[Fire Shadow's Envoys]

After using his new skills, Baek Ain summoned several avatars and commanded them to bring the foe to his side.

There are a total of fifteen ambushers, each wearing black assassin-like clothes.

Baek Ain grabbed the nearest ambusher and pulled the mask, revealing a beautiful lady's face. There is a firm hatred on her face.

"Y-You bastard! I'll kill you, intruders!" She screamed after regaining her voice.

Baek Ain laughed and released his bloodlust, causing the beautiful assassin to become quiet immediately. Her lips trembled as if death god faced her a moment ago.

"What is your name?" Baek Ain asked calmly.

The beautiful assassin hesitated, gritting her teeth unwillingly.

"N-Number 6931..."

"Huh?" Everyone in Baek Ain's group was startled at her replies.
