Time flew by quickly. Soon, Ye Feng and the others had been traveling in the desert for an entire day, but they were still walking through the sands. The temperature in the desert was rising, and everyone could feel the scorching heat. The ice blocks in their defensive barrier began to melt, but no one retreated in the slightest; they continued to move forward. Another day passed quickly, and by now, the temperature had reached a terrifying level. The commander of the Western Border kept forming ice blocks to cool everyone down. However, now the coldness would completely melt in nearly half an hour. The heat waves remarkably penetrated their defensive barrier, surrounding them. They felt as if they were walking inside a gigantic furnace. They kept pressing forward, and soon it was the third day. Everyone felt parched, especially the commander of the Western Border. Because he kept creating ice blocks, providing water, his energy was immensely drained. He was starting to falter, looking extremely weak. To lessen his burden, Ye Feng and the Old War God stopped him from making more ice. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 Everyone had taken off their jackets, wearing only vests as they continued walking. Even in just a vest, they were soaked with sweat. They had no way to retreat now. They had traveled for three days and couldn’t see the way back. In the Sword Intent Desert, there was only day, no night at all. Soon, it was the fourth day. Finally, the commander of the Western Border couldn’t hold on anymore and collapsed into unconsciousness. Ye Feng lifted the commander onto his back, carrying him forward. Liu Mu and the others showed signs of pain in their eyes, their lips parched. The water was long gone; only the Old War God and Ye Feng were still in decent condition. But fear slowly crept in; they had walked for four days without seeing an end. With their stamina, not to mention a man-made desert inside the Sword Tomb, they could easily cross even the largest desert on Earth. But now, they saw no end. At that moment, Ye Feng raised his fist, and suddenly, True Essence surged up. Ye Feng punched the ground, and in an instant, it caved in. A terrifying force exploded, leaving a pit over fifty meters in diameter on the ground. Everyone was immensely shocked. They didn’t expect that Ye Feng’s casual punch could cause such terrifying destruction. Ye Feng led them onward, and soon half a day had passed. Eventually, another person couldn’t hold on and collapsed. At that moment, even Ye Feng and the Old War God felt the scorching heat, and the temperature continued to rise. If things continued this way, in two days at most, everyone besides Ye Feng and the Old War God would die. Even the Old War God and Ye Feng couldn’t hold out for much longer, and panic started to spread among them. Ye Feng remained calm, saying, "Everyone, don’t panic. There will be a way!" They continued walking, and sure enough, after a while, everyone was stunned by what they saw. "This is!" Liu Mu and the others were shocked. Before them was a gigantic pit, the very one formed by Ye Feng’s punch earlier. This meant Ye Feng and the others had been walking in circles. Seeing this, their worry deepened. They had no sense of direction here, and if they kept circling, they would surely die here, even Ye Feng and the Old War God wouldn’t withstand it. Ye Feng furrowed his brow, unbelieving that someone who had been dead for thousands of years could create such a terrifying Illusion Realm. Surely, the Sword Intent Desert’s range was limited. "Let’s move!" Ye Feng led them onward as time flew by, and before long, another day had passed. Liu Mu and the others had collapsed, leaving only Ye Feng and the Old War God standing. The six who had fallen were on the brink of death. They couldn’t withstand the heat anymore. Ye Feng frowned and then reluctantly said, "Old War God, let’s rest for a while!" Old War God’s face was grim; he nodded. Even he had never faced such a thorny situation in his life. In previous encounters with strong enemies, no matter how powerful, at least the Old War God could fight back. But now, they were lost in the desert without finding a way out, having no chance to resist, utterly without a clue, which caused the Old War God the greatest despair. Ye Feng quickly erected a True Essence barrier, enveloping the Old War God and Liu Mu and the six others. Old War God, surprised, discovered that Ye Feng’s True Essence barrier was far superior to his own, easily isolating the heat. Covered by Ye Feng’s barrier, Old War God felt considerably more comfortable. Yet, Old War God knew that even so, Ye Feng couldn’t hold out much longer. In the end, they would still die here. Ye Feng swiftly pulled out silver needles and treated Liu Mu and the others. Before long, they regained much of their vitality. Ye Feng wrapped the True Essence barrier around Liu Mu, the Old War God, and the others, continuing to walk. But everyone knew this was not a long-term solution. Previously, Ye Feng only needed to take care of himself, but now he had to look after eight people, making the consumption eight times what it was before, unsustainable for long. Time flew by swiftly, and another day passed unnoticed as the desert temperature rose. Even wrapped within Ye Feng’s True Essence barrier, they still felt the overwhelming heat. Everyone felt they were reaching their limits, even the Old War God’s face grew grim. Ye Feng was also drenched in sweat, and a frown creased his face...
