Bai Pu threw the guide he was carrying on his shoulder far towards Dai Sect.

Dai Sect: ???

"Hercules, keep an eye on this guy, he definitely knows something."

Bai Pu said.

"I understand... but why am I the one carrying him?"

Dai Sect said with a bit of amusement.

Dai Sect’s attitude towards Bai Pu implied a hint of equal dialogue.

In the world of the Awakened, age and seniority are illusions, only strength is real.

Even Dai Sect himself wasn’t confident he could last so long in the terrifying Brahma Heaven Domain. Since Bai Pu could do it, Dai Sect certainly would not regard him as a junior novice anymore.

"Where we are now, there’s a dune overhead on the surface. From the dome to the surface, it’s about 20 meters."

Bai Pu answered irrelevantly, turning to ask Dai Sect, "With Hercules’s strength, can you break through this 20-meter thick sandstone layer?"

Dai Sect shook his head speechlessly, "Do you think I’m an Immortal?"

"Indeed, with the Mystical Arts sealed, it’s quite difficult."

Bai Pu continued, not stopping his steps, "But above us, the surface terrain is constantly changing... 120 meters ahead is a rift valley terrain on the surface. Based on my observations at the time, the rift depth exceeded 15 meters..."

"Are you sure?" Dai Sect’s Spirit was lifted, as he didn’t want to wrestle with the perverse Red Sand Ghosts in the True Red Domain, primarily because with his Mystical Arts sealed, his combat power dropped by at least half.

If what Bai Pu said was true, the sandstone layer from the dome to the surface there would only be about 5 meters thick.

Even without Mystical Arts amplification, Dai Sect was confident he could break through and escape the ruins prematurely.

But the question is, is Bai Pu really that capable? Can he recall the related surface terrain from underground in the ruins?

"Yes, I’m very sure."

When Bai Pu came to the Red Sand Tribe, looking for a guide, he had already silently memorized the terrain within tens of miles around the ruins entrance, especially those cracks, ravines, and the direction and length from the ruins entrance, all carefully observed and calculated.

"Just here."

Bai Pu stopped and pointed at the dome.

"There’s no other choice now, I’ll trust you this once."

Dai Sect threw the guide Tano back to Bai Pu, pulled out the dull war axe, and squatted slightly.

A layer of red light gathered on his body.

This was not the light of fighting qi, but the unique appearance of blood energy swirling during Dai Sect’s power-up, as subtle sweat evaporated on his body surface.

After about two seconds of power-up, Dai Sect suddenly leaped up.

Like a rocket launch, a huge recoil force was transmitted through the ground, and Bai Pu and the others clearly felt the ground shaking.

Dai Sect leaped to the dome and swung the axe down with a thundering force.

The moment the axe face contacted the dome, the stone "ceiling" of the dome collapsed like a castle of sand, the explosive blood energy pierced through the surface, breaking through the densely accumulated sand layers of thousands of years.

Clatter...

Flowing sand poured down like a waterfall, quickly flooding into the newly formed underground crevice.

"Go!"

After landing, Dai Sect jumped again like a kangaroo, breaking through the sand waterfall and escaping back to the surface. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

At this moment, Bai Pu could not use Gang Step, but his Physique Attribute was strong, and he took advantage of the moment Dai Sect broke through the sand to throw the guide Tano up first, then jumped to escape as well.

Tom and Oshana also followed suit.

Just as the four of them escaped through the split gap, red mist shot through the gap like a surging volcano finally finding a breakthrough.

Without saying, Bai Pu and the others could only continue fleeing desperately.

Fortunately, after they left the ruins area, the power of the True Red Domain no longer affected them, allowing them to use various speed-up and dash Skills.

"Stop, you thieves!"

A team of the Red Sand Defense Army patrolled over, discovering Bai Pu and the others. Although amazed at how these people had managed to escape under the Blood Moon, this was clearly no time for wonder, and they immediately blocked their way.

One of the Desert Remnants pulled out a horn and blew it loudly.

"Dammit, the number of Red Sand Defense Army troops is enormous. If they blockade us, it’ll waste a lot of our time!" Tom was still shaken by the rain of curved sabers.

Bai Pu was also uneasy, his Blood River Fighting Qi was nearly dried up at this point, with not even a tenth of combat power left, barely enough to escape, let alone continue fighting.

Moreover, the Red Sand Defense Army only needed to hinder them from escaping, and if the red mist from the True Red Domain caught up, it would be over.

"Break through."

Dai Sect said in a deep voice, now unwilling to consider much else, obviously that eerie red mist was beyond the capability of a few freshmen to handle, an unexpected circumstance.

Dai Sect bent slightly to power up, then charged out like a heavy truck!

This charge reminded Bai Pu of the Double-Sailed Dragon Leader’s savage rush in the Giant Fern Mountain Range, their style so similar, filled with a relentless, invincible boldness.

Only, Dai Sect was fiercer, more vicious, more intimidating than the Double-Sailed Dragon!

Several members of the Red Sand Defense Army threw curved sabers, but before they could touch Dai Sect’s body, they had already been weakened and deflected by the robust blood energy coating Dai Sect’s body.

Dai Sect’s shoulder, encased in the giant beast leather armor exuding a wild presence, was obviously not ordinary equipment, causing the already weakened curved sabers to bounce off further.

The daunting curved saber throwing skills did no damage to Dai Sect.

Though the smaller number of enemies failing to suppress could be a reason, Dai Sect’s prowess as a top-tier strongman was clearly evident.

Dai Sect plunged into the crowd. He didn’t capture or hit, but just this charge had the entire squad of Red Sand Defense Army members flying and tumbling away.

Bai Pu and the others followed closely behind.

A few Red Sand Defense Army members were dazed by Dai Sect’s collision, feeling like their bodies were filled with lead, struggling to get up while the red mist surged through the rift and engulfed them.

Within the red mist, harrowing screams emerged, Bai Pu glanced back, his eyes abruptly narrowed.

Those Red Sand Defense Army members, their flesh and skin were rapidly corroded by the red mist, like some invisible toxic flame was burning in their bodies.

Soon, only a white skeleton remained, clattering down.

Above the pale skeleton, crimson specters emerged, turning into Red Sand Ghosts.

"So that’s how Red Sand Ghosts come to be..."

Bai Pu narrowed his eyes once more, taking a look at the guide Tano on his shoulder.
