It was obvious that the Geomancer had spotted at a glance that Ye Yunfei was carrying an arm.
This formidable perception made Ye Yunfei feel a bit startled.
Following that, silence prevailed for a moment; the Geomancer was clearly deducing something.
'Through deduction, I have located that arm. It lies twenty li to the west from here, beneath the ground.
However, that place is also a perilous terrain. Given your current strength, even if you reach that spot, you won't possess the ability to dig the arm out.'
Approximately the time of a dozen breaths later, the Geomancer's voice rang out once more.
'No way!
Does this mean I cannot retrieve my arm!'
The Giant Arm cried out unwillingly.
'Enough. I still have some supplies left on hand. I will aid you this one time.'
At that moment, the Geomancer suddenly declared.
*Whoosh, whoosh...*
Seventeen small yellow Formation Flags flew out from the gully, landing before Ye Yunfei.
Every single flag emitted a rich energy of the earth element and earth laws.
'This is a set of Formation Flags I specially refined before attacking the Heaven Burial Tomb. They can help you lock down that perilous terrain for about thirty breaths.
Remember, you must dig out that arm within those thirty breaths.
Once thirty breaths have passed, you must leave that place immediately.
Otherwise, you will never be able to leave.'
The Geomancer cautioned.
'Thank you for your reminder, Senior. I understand.'
Ye Yunfei collected the seventeen small Formation Flags and replied.
'Senior, with your abilities, are you truly unable to leave this Phoenix Spews Blood Terrain?'
Ye Yunfei suddenly inquired.
'I cannot leave.
Moreover, I have no wish to depart from here for the time being.
I shall remain here to heal my wounds.'
The Geomancer answered.
'Alright, it is not wise to linger here. You should quickly search for that arm and then leave the Heaven Burial Tomb.
Those fools who have no regard for death are currently delving deeper into the Heaven Burial Tomb. Mark my words, they will soon regret it.
You must leave hastily, lest you get caught up in the turmoil.'
The Geomancer urged.
At that moment, the earlier powerful experts were pushing further into the core region of the Heaven Burial Tomb. One could faintly hear the intermittent rumbles of energy.
Clearly, these experts were making their moves, fighting against certain entities within the Heaven Burial Tomb.
'Alright, Senior, take care!' Ye Yunfei nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique, heading westward.
Along the way, the ground was strewn with gravel everywhere; barren lands were all around, and a pallid red mist drifted in the air.
After a short while, Ye Yunfei finally arrived at the location twenty li to the west.
The land ahead was sealed off by a layer of black, sinister fog, akin to a ghostly mist.
It resembled a vast piece of black cloth covering this stretch of land. At a glance, the earth could not be seen; only the surging and receding fog was visible.
An intense aura of ill omen permeated the air.
*Hee hee...*
Occasionally, faint, sinister chuckles wafted out from within that black fog.
'What kind of terrain is this?'
Ye Yunfei scrutinized the area for a while but could discern no clues whatsoever.
'It seems my level in Geomancy is still far from sufficient,' Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out the seventeen yellow Formation Flags given by the Geomancer and cast them forward.
*Boom, boom...*
Each Formation Flag swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into tall banner poles akin to Sea-Fixing Divine Needles, planting themselves into the ground ahead.
Immediately, everything on this patch of land seemed to freeze solid. Even the air ceased to flow, as if the scene had turned into a still painting.
'It truly is effective!'
Ye Yunfei clearly sensed that the intense aura of ill omen that had permeated the land ahead earlier had now vanished, as if it had transformed into ordinary ground.
However, Ye Yunfei knew this perilous terrain was only temporarily sealed. After thirty breaths, this seal would be lifted, and the place would once again become a terrifying hazardous zone.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei directly tunneled underground and began his search.
'Found it!
It's indeed here!'
Approximately the time of over a dozen breaths later, Ye Yunfei located a massive arm buried beneath this land.
'Correct! This is my other arm!
I never imagined it would be moved to such a distant location.'
The Giant Arm couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
'Who are you?'
At this moment, a figure of a burly man emerged from within that massive arm, fixing a wary gaze on Ye Yunfei.
*Whoosh!*
The Giant Arm shot out from within the Phantom Tower.
'My other arm, and my other Clone!'
The burly man cried out in a mixture of shock and joy.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The two giant arms drew near to each other. A figure of a burly man emerged from within each arm, and the two figures immediately merged into one.
As the two Clones fused, all of their experiences and memories instantly integrated as well.
*Rumble...*
Suddenly, the land began to tremble violently.
'Not good! Time's up. We must leave quickly!'
Ye Yunfei gasped in alarm and shouted.
Those seventeen Formation Flags could only seal this perilous terrain for thirty breaths, and now the time was almost up!
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, sending both giant arms into the Phantom Tower. Then, he ascended towards the surface at his fastest speed.
*Hee hee...*
Abruptly, icy-cold chuckles echoed from all directions, as if emanating from the depths of the Nine Hells.
Pitch-black figures continuously emerged, each emanating a towering baleful aura.
Knowing that this perilous terrain was about to revert, Ye Yunfei pushed his speed to the extreme. With a *whoosh*, he broke through to the surface and darted away into the distance.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!...*
As soon as Ye Yunfei left, the seventeen Formation Flags exploded one after another, disintegrating into a shower of fragments.
Then, this perilous terrain restored itself to its original state, enveloped in a dense, gloomy, and cold aura.
'That was far too treacherous. If I had been just a moment slower earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape that place.'
Ye Yunfei's heart still thumped with lingering fear.
It was right at this moment.
*Rumble...*
A tremendous commotion of combat erupted from the core region of this Small World, causing the entire Small World to tremble.
*Boom...*
Next, that towering tomb that scraped the clouds also began to shake violently. Rolling black baleful energy sprayed out from within the tomb.
'Quick, escape!'
At that moment, the experts who had ventured into the core region of the Heaven Burial Tomb seemed to sense imminent danger. They turned around one after another, charging outwards.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei witnessed a shocking sight: a massive black hand slowly extended from the tomb area, pursuing those fleeing experts.
This colossal black hand appeared to move quite slowly, yet in reality, its speed was terrifyingly fast. With a single motion, it pierced through the void, shortening spatial distance instantly. It caught up to an expert from behind and seized that expert in its grasp.
'Get off!' the expert roared in shock and fury, his whole body erupting with surging energy. He even deployed various cultivation techniques and martial skills, attempting to repel that colossal black hand.
It was useless.
The black giant hand gave a powerful tremor. With a *thump*, it directly pulverized the expert into a cloud of blood mist, annihilating both his body and soul!
*Boom...*
The black giant hand began pursuing another expert.
'Things have indeed turned for the worse. I must leave the Heaven Burial Tomb now!'
Not daring to linger, Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique, charging towards the exterior of the Heaven Burial Tomb with all his might.
