Chapter 745: 549 missing?_2
Feier Ade pointed toward the depths of this pure white space and suddenly remembered something, adding, "Right, the revered maiden mentioned just now that the pitch-dark place is, in fact, what's referred to as 'high-dimensional space.' So, aside from that place, there is no danger here."
"Only we can go there?"
"A one-way passage?"
"I have a bold idea..."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Seeing many souls heading toward the direction Feier Ade was pointing, some of the more mature and prudent souls loudly discouraged them, "After being imprisoned for so long, do you all not wish to rest a bit?"
"Rest? During all this time of imprisonment, when have I not been resting? Now, I don't want to stay put and quiet at all!"
"I feel the same. Having been trapped for so long, I've wanted to seek revenge on those bastards for a while now."
Some souls moved their bodies and intuitively discovered that they were not entirely without the ability to fight.
Demons, as higher-dimensional beings, could easily invade them when they were humans.
But now, everyone was a kind of higher-dimensional being in some sense, so who would be afraid of whom?
"Who knows if you're going to be cannon fodder or actually get your revenge?"
"There's no harm in taking a look, and didn't the lady who arrived first say that our souls would be forcibly pulled back if we exceeded the time?"
"Let's go, let's go! Take a look!"
Glatis withdrew her gaze from the direction where her superior had disappeared and turned to look at the dispersed crowd.
After a brief moment of frowning in thought, she too set off toward the direction of the high-dimensional space Feier Ade had mentioned.
Since she had been saved by the superior, she should do something for him...
...
When the consciousness returned to Bai E's Spiritual Body in the garden, his body trembled slightly, and the feeling of Spiritual Energy infinitely expanding continued to surge over him like waves.
Overabundant Spiritual Energy gathered within this limited-capacity body, and if it could not be released soon, there was a risk of bursting the Spiritual Body.
And the immense, unclean being Sogros, who had by now become a giant, lifted its decaying and rotting right foot and stomped down toward Bai E with the might of thunder, vowing to crush the human youngster who had defiled the holy body of the loving Father completely to bits.
But a power that also felt mountainous and overwhelming emerged from that small form, and in the very instant of this transformation, the human youngster once again raised high the Longsword in his hands.
Specks of light emerged from the void all around, gathering bit by bit upon the blade known as "Heart of Law," eventually turning it into an absolutely radiant blade of light.
"Hum!"
A myriad of light whiplashes suddenly pierced through the entire dark space like the first streak of light since the beginning of creation, and with the support of over ten thousand Spiritual Energy, Bai E displayed for the first time the ideal peak of his abilities.
Bai E fiercely swung his sword toward the direction where Sogros was.
The one stroke that instantly slew a hundred was almost enough to tear the entire Eternal Garden ablaze with flames.
Sword lights followed one after another along the trajectory of Bai E's swing, each one falling in what seemed like succession from the perspective of spiritual awareness; however, they actually occurred in an instant.
Not only was Sogros's massive body cleaved in two by this sword and torn asunder in the radiance, but even the land of the garden behind Sogros was torn by the sword into a long, narrow chasm that stretched to the very edge of the garden's void.
The terrifying shockwave exploded out from where Sogros stood the very next moment after the endless sword light fell, rapidly rippling out to the surroundings.
Soldiers of the invading army, bit by bit pushing inward and eating away at the territory, all staggered under the might of this horrifying strike.
Yet, this blow still wasn't enough to clear the endless Spiritual Energy within him, making him feel swollen and about to burst. Bai E slashed again, swinging another radiant streak.
After the double-cross slashes, the unclean being Sogros, having been destroyed repeatedly by the blows, met his downfall.
Among the chunks of decaying flesh, the head's eyes stared intently at Bai E, who wielded the Longsword, emitting an incredulous query, "You... who exactly are you?! How do you possess the Authority!"
Without the interference of another Authority of the same caliber, how could mere brute force destroy his divine form?
Bai E slightly frowned and with one swing, he split the head of the last great devil of eternity, "For destroying myriads of humans, a reckoning was overdue!"
He wasn't very clear about the nonsense spoken by the other party. As for the power of Authority... perhaps the parting blessings of the many souls imprisoned here, at the brink of death, were what constituted the so-called "Authority"!
Just like all the other great devils he had slain earlier, aside from providing essence to enhance his Longsword, these devils couldn't even provide Bai E with the slightest bit of experience.
[The soul-devouring blade has absorbed a small amount of the target's essence; the special attack effect is currently upgrading 8000/10000.]
The longsword in his hand still awaited the devouring of essence, yet when he looked around, not a single figure stood erect in the entire Eternal Garden anymore.
Clumps of mist settled upon the lands of their demise, waiting for another resurrection amidst the endless variations of this high-dimensional space.
Such was the rule of high-dimensional space!
As embodiments of the high-dimensional space's authority, they could never truly "die." Perhaps their true forms could be defeated, but their core essences would forever remain indestructible.
At least with Bai E's current realm, he could not find a hint of a method for destruction.
Moving lightly to the front of the black cauldron that the unclean Sogros revered as the "Fatherly Divine Body," Bai E crouched down to scrutinize it closely. He even used his "Heavenly Eye" Spiritual Energy to thoroughly investigate it inside and out, but found nothing.
It appeared to be just an ordinary black iron cauldron common in the human world, without any special features.
However, within the cross slashes that had just taken place, there had been saber lights that swept past this cauldron.
Slices capable of killing major demons and destroying the garden had left not a single mark on this cauldron, proving that it was indeed extraordinary.
Yet if a cauldron were the true form of "Eternity," wouldn't that be strange to hear?
Take it back for further research?
Bai E had the thought and attempted it.
However, his storage space, which Yue Ying rated as capable of holding all things under heaven, could not contain this seemingly ordinary cauldron.
If they could not use the storage space, then they, who had translocated to their Spiritual Bodies in the high-dimensional space, were incapable of bringing anything from this place back with them.
As Bai E was contemplating, a figure swiftly ran up to him from a distance, saying, "There's a new discovery."
It was Franca.
With Bai E unleashing his divine might on this end and single-handedly challenging all the major demons in the Eternal Garden, their expeditionary force's advance had also become much smoother.
But as they moved, an obvious detail was easily noticed by some observant warriors—
While the garden was continuously being burned, it was also constantly being reborn.
The suppurating, mushy ground was being destroyed by the flames of Spiritual Energy, yet new growth restored it to its original state in the places that had been burned.
Though the pace of renewal was far from catching up with the speed of their burning, if this went on, wouldn't their burning efforts be in vain?
"And if we keep burning like this, the essential oils we are carrying will run out too," she added.
"How could it be in vain?" Bai E said with a light smile.
Since discovering the essence of those major demons, he had also uncovered the essence of this garden.
As long as anything related to the Eternal Authority existed in this world, this Eternal Garden would never completely disappear.
It was like the dust that always gathers at home, like the excretion that always follows eating.
"All we can do is sweep them out once again when they return," he continued.
Besides that, there was no other way.
This was high-dimensional space!
This was the biggest trouble with this world!
"Okay! I got it," Franca clenched her teeth and turned to give her commands.
However, in that instant, a certain fog of confusion that rushed to her mind caused Franca's entire figure to freeze, "Why... has the connection to my physical body vanished?"
It was not just her; Bai E also felt it distinctly.
On the way here, they had relied on Fernandi's soul-burning guidance; naturally, a connection to their own physical bodies would guide them home.
But now, this natural, constant connection to their physical bodies had disappeared?!
