The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 954: Nerve Wracking Situation

Meilan opened her eyes as she sensed many people approaching their position. Rei's expression was already tense, and she positioned herself closer to Meilan.

Meilan had already placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, ready to make a move if those people found them.

But then her heart trembled when hundreds of figures appeared. From their aura, Meilan and Rei did not doubt that they were devils. Most of them were devils at the Immortal Transition Realm, and the ones that landed near Meilan and Rei were mostly at Pseudo Immortal stage.

Meilan and Rei were already so tense that they were afraid to move even a finger. Sweat rolled down their faces and bodies. Surrounding them were Pseudo Immortal stage devils, and there was nothing they could do if these devils noticed them.

Two devils at peak Pseudo Immortal stage landed five meters from them, and one of them looked in their direction. Meilan and Rei's bodies flinched as they thought that this devil could see them.

But then his gaze shifted to another direction, which brought them relief, as it seemed he still could not see them.

Just as Aldrian had told them, as long as they did not move more than three meters from their current position, they could not be seen or sensed.

Even so, they could not feel completely relieved, as they knew who this devil was, as well as the one beside him.

Both of them were among the most wanted devils in this world, especially the burly man, as he was considered to be the leader of the devils' movement in this world.

Erdo Oliard.

The skinny man was the second in command, a devil who had already caused countless deaths and destruction across the world.

Veraz Ilagnus.

With them appearing here, Meilan and Rei knew that, just as Aldrian had told them, the devils were truly serious and had mobilized a large force to kill him. They were in the middle of a devils' group filled with Pseudo Immortal Stage devils, as if they were about to wage a war.

"This is the last place where the mark disappeared. I think they entered the fog. As we know, this strange fog can block the mark," Meilan and Rei heard Veraz say to Erdo.

"But the strange thing is, the mark just disappeared and did not move directly toward the fog. It's as if they simply disappeared here," he added.

Erdo looked at the fog, frowning. "I think they really went into the abyss. But I'm truly curious why they would go to such a dangerous place. What is their purpose?"

"Do you want to send some of our men to check?" Veraz asked, but his question was answered by Erdo shaking his head.

"No, that would be useless. We would only be sacrificing our men. Forget about that bastard's strength, this strange fog is truly dangerous. I don't want to dwindle our forces when we eventually face Aldrian."

Veraz nodded, and Erdo looked around his surroundings, his gaze sweeping over Meilan and Rei. Both girls did not move at all, as they were still tense and afraid that even the slightest movement would expose them.

Although Aldrian had said that as long as they did not move beyond three meters from their current position these devils would not be able to see them, they still did not dare to move.

It was only a natural reaction.

They were standing beside two of the most powerful devils in this world, and they feared that even a smallest movement could cause them to be discovered.

"Let's set an ambush perimeter in this area and spread it across twenty kilometers. If they really can survive and come back, we will ambush them," Erdo said.

"Are you sure they could come back? We are talking about the bottomless abyss here. There is no one who could survive that place. If he dies there, then our waiting would be futile," Veraz responded.

Erdo continued to stare at the fog seriously. "This is just in case. That bastard is truly mysterious, and with his many achievements, he might be able to survive that place. Moreover, knowing the danger of this region, he still chose to enter it, which means he has a certain purpose and confidence in his ability to survive there," he said.

"Even the Sword Maiden and the young miss from the Si family followed him. They continued to follow him despite knowing better than anyone the danger of this place. That means they know something that makes them confident they can come back safely."

Veraz nodded at Erdo's reasoning, finding it quite reasonable. He then began informing the others about the ambush plan. The devils around Meilan and Rei moved to their assigned spots, and their bodies instantly disappeared, as if blending into the surrounding nature itself.

Seeing all of them taking their positions, Meilan and Rei wanted to inform Aldrian. Unfortunately, they had no way to do so. They could only watch as the devils took their positions and waited for Aldrian to return.

However, as they observed the devils taking their positions, they noticed a small detail.

The devils seemed to walk around their position and kept a distance of three meters from them. It was as if there were an invisible wall that made the devils avoid their location. They did not understand how the formation that Aldrian had built worked, but they were truly amazed by its effect.

Even these Pseudo Immortal stage devils could not see or sense them all this time, and they even seemed to avoid their position.

Unknown to Meilan and Rei, the devils who looked in their direction only saw a tree. This was a high level illusion formation that also served as a concealment. The illusion affected the senses of those who entered it and made them believe it was reality.

Even if someone were to walk through the object of illusion or touch it, they would still think that what they crashed into was a real tree and that what they touched was genuine.

Realizing that they were truly safe inside the formation, Meilan and Rei finally managed to relax slightly and move their bodies. Even so, they moved slowly and finally sat down while still warily watching the devils' positions.

They released a small sigh of relief the moment they were able to relax their bodies.

"Fuuh, this is truly nerve wracking. I even forgot to breathe. I never thought we could stand so close to these most wanted devils," Rei said to Meilan through sound transmission.

"I hope His Majesty returns quickly. If not, we would be completely dead if these devils somehow find us," she added. Meilan responded with a nod, her gaze fixed on the fog with worry evident on her face.

While the devils were already waiting for Aldrian to come out of the abyss region, the man himself had already stepped inside the mansion at the bottom of the abyss. The moment he stepped inside, he was greeted by a luxurious hall. The only strange thing was the lack of furniture.

After quickly observing the hall, he moved deeper into the mansion, following the flow of faith energy. He passed through many rooms and inner gardens, and also crossed into different buildings.

He continued walking for more than thirty minutes before finally arriving at a room. The flow of faith energy flowed toward this place, and he could clearly feel that the object used to gather faith energy was inside.

Without waiting any longer, he pushed the doors open, and the moment he saw the inside, towering and expansive bookshelves came into view. From what he could see, there were countless books arranged across many shelves.

The bookshelves were arranged from the lowest floor where he was currently standing, up to a much higher level that forced him to lift his head to take in the entirety of the room.

From the sheer size of this place, he knew that the room did not match the actual size of the mansion, which meant this place was using a spatial formation. This formation placed the room in a different space from the mansion itself.

His eyes glistened as he smiled. These countless books likely contained knowledge gathered from across the universe, and even from the vast cosmos, including information from other universes. That was also one of the hobbies of those two men, whom he believed to be the ones who shaped this place.

He then walked deeper into the room, and after walking for a few minutes, he finally reached the center of the space.

There stood a stone pillar, just like other faith gathering places. Beneath the pillar was a stone tablet, and as usual, it bore an engraved message meant for him.

May the Great Emperor of All Heavens' journey always shine with the light of glory.

We hope that our gift will support the great emperor's journey.

Aldrian smiled as he read the message. Although he had already read this kind of message many times, he still could not help but feel warmth from the support his past followers had given him.

He then looked at the stone pillar and approached it before touching it. He closed his eyes, and then began to create his domain there.

As he successfully created his domain, he felt a fresh sensation flow through his body, and he could sense that his surroundings had already changed. He understood what had happened, as he had experienced it a few times before, and when he opened his eyes, he was already in a different space.

Now he was inside a kind of library, where there were many books just like in the room he had entered earlier. However, he did not focus on his surroundings, as in front of him were two figures who were already looking at him with teary eyes.
