Chapter 439: Chapter 438: If You Can’t Escape, Fight

The Giant Stone Formation again!

Having walked for so long, clearly without changing directions, clearly not retracing our steps, we unexpectedly end up back at the starting point.

"This can’t be possible! Is there really an Array in the world that can mislead us?"

Mo Changfeng couldn’t believe it and dug a pit in the ground with his Treasure Sword, then buried a bit of Primordial Qi in it again.

This time, Lin Hao changed direction, heading off towards another side.

It really is strange. If this were an Illusion Array, with Lin Hao’s experience, he should have seen through it completely. But to say that the two were lost in the plains, Lin Hao felt that was unlikely too.

With Lin Hao’s perception, taking a wrong turn was nearly impossible; even if Ziyue were to use the Power of Laws to cast an Illusion Technique, it would not be completely undetectable to Lin Hao.

But what could be the cause?

It seems there’s a reason why the old lady doesn’t come after us. Perhaps she’s not afraid of Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng escaping at all.

Such terrifying Cultivation, such terrifying abilities!

Facing a strong opponent from the highest Plane with the lowest Plane’s Cultivation really does put one under immense pressure.

Not long after, the Giant Stone Formation once again disappears beyond the horizon. This time, Lin Hao walked even more attentively, focusing intently on the fluctuations of energy in the air.

And Mo Changfeng dragged his Treasure Sword on the ground, leaving scratches while walking.

"I refuse to believe that such an absurd thing exists in the world!" Mo Changfeng comforted himself.

Again, time passes—seeming like two hours, yet feeling like two minutes, as if time had stopped—yet, Lin Hao knew he had traveled a great distance.

Looking back, the sword scratches left by Mo Changfeng stretched to the horizon.

Turning his head forward...

"This..."

In front, dark clouds gathered densely, Ghost Energy soared into the sky, and beneath the gloomy firmament, the silhouette of the Giant Stone Formation appeared, visible one moment and hidden the next!!

Needless to say, we’ve returned again!

Constantly moving forward, walking and walking, yet back at the starting point!!

"I know now!"

Suddenly, Mo Changfeng cried out in surprise and slapped his thigh fiercely.

"Huh?"

Even Lin Hao hadn’t spotted the issue, but Mo Changfeng had an idea? Well, it’s alright; after all, each has their specialization, and there’s a sequence in seeking Dao. Lin Hao turned around to look at Mo Changfeng.

Excited and inexplicably elated, Mo Changfeng looked back and forth, murmuring to himself: "I got it; we indeed have been moving straight ahead, but we neglected one issue—Earth is round!"

Mo Changfeng almost laughed out loud: "Because Earth is round, by going straight ahead, we end up returning to the starting point. This plain must also be spherical, so by always moving forward, we always return to the starting point!!"

Lin Hao rolled his eyes; he thought Mo Changfeng had discovered some incredible secret, but now it seemed...

"Idiotic."

With just one word, Lin Hao turned and followed the traces scratched on the ground by Mo Changfeng, heading back.

It’s true that Earth is round, but to say this plain was also spherical, that was far too fake. Not to mention how massive a sphere would have to be to remain unnoticed, and if it really was round, how did they enter the plains in the first place?

"Wait for me, isn’t this the way back?"

Still immersed in the joy of his new discovery, Mo Changfeng saw Lin Hao walking back and hurriedly followed.

The scratch was deep, filled with Mo Changfeng’s Primordial Qi and had not disappeared. Lin Hao followed the scratch marks all the way back, calculating as he walked.

```

Sixty kilometers!

A full sixty kilometers of markings, in actuality, for a cultivator like Lin Hao, it really wasn’t considered far; sometimes, even a few ups and downs were sufficient to traverse these sixty kilometers.

But on this black grassland, sixty kilometers felt as if it was six thousand kilometers long. When the markings ended, the Giant Stone Formation loomed right before their eyes.

"Damn, we’ve actually arrived!"

In this moment, Mo Changfeng finally came to a clear understanding, angrily staring at the Giant Stone Formation with grinding teeth.

Of course, there was only one Giant Stone Formation, but no matter where they went, they would end up back here. If that wasn’t an indication of the old woman’s trickery, then Mo Changfeng would have lived in vain.

"Let’s go."

Lin Hao paid no attention to Mo Changfeng, merely uttering faintly and taking steps forward.

The direction he headed towards was precisely the Giant Stone Formation!

"Where to? You... You want to enter the Giant Stone Formation?" Mo Changfeng was shocked. That old woman was very likely inside the Giant Stone Formation. Walking over now, wouldn’t that be akin to a lamb entering a tiger’s den, seeking one’s own death?

But Lin Hao paid him no heed, continuing to step towards the Giant Stone Formation.

The closer they got to the Giant Stone Formation, the denser the Ghost Energy became, that eerie sensation causing one’s spirit to tremble involuntarily.

"It’s like the entrance to Hell is right in front, are we really going to go in?" Mo Changfeng gripped his Treasure Sword, somewhat in disbelief.

"Of course."

Lin Hao walked tall and proud, each step moving his perception forward.

"Since she doesn’t want us to leave, then why shouldn’t I go in? Does she really think I’m afraid of her?"

Lin Hao spoke with a strong voice, his footsteps even more resolute. Without waiting for Mo Changfeng to catch up, he had already reached the perimeter of the Giant Stone Formation.

"Fine! Given that, I still have two lives for her to pay back!"

Seeing this, Mo Changfeng bit his teeth, carrying his Treasure Sword as he followed Lin Hao forward.

The stones of the Giant Stone Formation were immense, standing before them like mountains.

The dark material exuded a towering malevolence, and black Ghost Energy seeped out from the crevices between the boulders. Gloomy and cold, standing before this Giant Stone Formation, one could only feel the chill as if ice needles were piercing into one’s bones.

No person, no other presence, it was as if only Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng were there with these animals refusing to disperse.

Was the old woman not present?

No, this was clearly the old woman’s way of treating them like mice to be toyed with.

Everyone knows that a cat, after catching a mouse, would only eat it after toying it to death. Now, perhaps it was the same; the old woman was the cat, and Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng were the mice.

Damn it!

Lin Hao’s gaze turned icy as he stepped forward into the midst of the Giant Stone Formation.

Just as he stepped into the Giant Stone Formation, suddenly...

"Thump, thump, thump..."

A strange noise emanated from within the Giant Stone Formation, dull but powerful!

As if a giant heart was beating, each beat caused one’s blood to boil alongside that sound.

Immediately following, the old woman’s kind voice echoed from the heart of the Giant Stone Formation:

"Have you returned? Superior lambs need to be raised freely; only then will their flesh be succulent and nutrients rich. However, now that you’ve come back, then get ready. My master is famished, and your quality minced meat will surely be to my master’s liking."

The boulders of the Giant Stone Formation, one encircling another, resembled a complex Eight Trigrams Array. Once inside, other than boulders, there were more boulders, and the old woman’s voice echoed through the crevices, making it difficult to discern its source.

Lin Hao’s expression was grave, silent and unflustered, but Mo Changfeng could not hold back, swinging his Treasure Sword and shouting at the formation, "Lambs? Who are the lambs! Show yourself if you dare, I, Mo Changfeng, am not the kind to fear death and cling to life. I won’t tolerate you, an old hag playing tricks! Today, I will battle you to the death!"
