Hulibe inserted his spiritual energy inside, and soon, a small projection of an old man appeared on top of it. The old man, obviously, was Hulibe Ronary!

The projection looked around and immediately understood the situation. It then gathered all the spiritual energy in over 10km radius in a split of a second! The black-clothed Assassin realized that things had just turned worse and took a protection runestone out. It was an 8 Golden Stars space displacement runestone! The man had long since charged it just in case he needed that. But he had never thought that he had to use it during his very first encounter!

The attack of Acrol's treasure that was supposed to hit the man passed right through him instead! It was as if the man was there and at the same time not. Of course, the man still paid the price since he couldn't displace the full power of Acrol's Ancestor attack. Still, that was enough for him to survive. After that, a small-time window appeared on Acrol's group attack. The man then immediately used a forbidden blood escaping technique to charge out of the encirclement.

Just like that, the man fleed.

Acrol saw that but didn't pursue him. He understood that the man won't be in any condition to battle anymore for quite a few months if not for over a year. He and his friends will be out of this Dimension Realm way before that happens.

Hulibe Acrol looked at the direction that the man left and narrowed his eyes.

'Just what is happening here? That man's attack skills didn't seem to be something from the western protectorate. Did he come from outside the Big Four territories?'

Acrol didn't have the answer for that now, so he decided to ignore him for the time being. He looked at his friends and said.

"Chances are that there is more than one, and it seemed like that guy wanted to eliminate all witnesses. We are moving straight away to the Inner Core Region and using our runestones to leave this place straight away."

The other two nodded, and their group immediately departed.

Hulibe Acrol, of course, didn't know that the connection between this Dimensional Realm and the outside was cut and that the runestones wouldn't work.

The Divine path Sect participants who came with Krune were in a different situation. They didn't get any significant challenge, nor did they bump into one of the Assasins. One must remember that this is still the outer perimeter, so it is to be expected that it doesn't have that many strong demon beasts or traps here.

Today, however, they had finally entered the central region.

There was a total of four of them together at the moment, and they made a demon beast called Juniu as the momentary leader of the group. At first, it was supposed to be Krune, but now that wisp wasn't here.

Juniu is a Light Shark from the Dinril Planet. Of course, the light in the name is just a name, it doesn't mean that they can use light element before others. Because he is a water demon beast, any time he is out of the sea, he has to keep in his human form.

"Juniu, now that we are in the central region, should we look around first before moving to the inner core region?"

Juniu pondered a bit and then nodded his head.

"I think it is good too. This place hasn't been explored yet, so we might really find something good."

They did as planned and got quite a few harvests like Silver Stars Materials for crafting or herbs for alchemy. Of course, there was more danger inside the central region, so they had quite a few battles in the meantime. There was even an encounter with an early stage Divine Soul Realm demon beast, which forced them to flee and almost got them killed.

Fortunately, as geniuses of the Divine Path Sect, they had quite a few trump cards themselves. It is just that they aren't at the level of the ones brought out by Hulibe Acrol at that time. Still, none of them were depressed by that. The meaning of this training was precisely that, to temper themselves in life and death situations.

On the fourth day, their group was moving around when suddenly, they noticed someone approaching. At first, they entered into combat state and were ready to attack or flee at any time. But surprisingly, the one coming was Uriu Orion, the Spiritas Kingdom Genius! When Juniu and the others looked at Uriu, they were taken aback.

Uriu had lost one of his arms. There was a grievous injury on his chest and seemed like to be rotting at a speed that they could see. Not to mention the various other places on his body that also didn't look much better.

Because of the fact that his opponent had a Death Core on top of the Divine Soul Realm cultivator, Uriu was having a hard time to counter its effects. The only reason why Death Energy hasn't killed him yet is that his Life Core just so happens to counter this kind of power.

Another thing is that Uriu's plan worked, and the trap left by the owner of this Dimensional Realm in the past worked on his favor in the end. Unfortunately for him, his two companions were not so lucky. Uriu gave his best to prevent Death Energy from taking their lives, but his Life Core wasn't so efficient on others as it was on himself. Not to mention that Death Energy Skills weren't the only type of attack that the Assasin used.

In the end, by getting both himself and the Death Core assassin inside the trap, he found a small chance at life! Now, this state is the result of all his efforts.

Uriu looked at the Divine Path Sect participants and used a Divine Sense Message to explain the whole situation. Divine Sense messages could be done in less than a second as long as you already know what you want to say to the other part.

When Juniu's group heard everything, they immediately felt alarmed! Assassins were able to pass through the elders of the Divine Path Sect and enter this place to attempt killing Feifei. They couldn't help but think that perhaps the elders outside are already dead! But soon, Juniu shook his head.

"No, that isn't the case. It had been several days since Uriu escaped from the Death Core owner pursuit. If the enemies were really strong enough to kill the elders outside, they definitely would have several more Divine Soul realm assassins sent inside. Still, we haven't found a single one since that time. I might be wrong, but I believe that those assassins entered the Dimension Realm without the elders noticing or at least not being able to stop them. Not to mention that if they had really killed the elders, then they have more than enough power to destroy the Dimensional Realm. That would guarantee Feifei's death without the need to send anyone inside."

Uriu nodded and then said.

"I also gave a lot of thought, and I believe that you are right. But before we continue with this conversation, do you have any spirit stones with you? I used almost all of mine just to escape the Assassin's attack. I need a lot of spiritual energy to get rid of the Death Energy inside me."

Juniu and the other nodded and immediately gave Uriu some of their Spirit Stones. If what Uriu said is true, the best option would be to stay together for the time being to increase their chances of survival.

Uriu immediately bowed and thanked them for the support. He was a little afraid that they would refuse and immediately flee from this place. Maybe even worse, they might have chosen to attack him instead!

With enough spirit energy this time, Uriu was finally able to get rid of the death energy in his body after a few hours. With his life core and the ability to use Light Element, it only took a short time for him to heal himself. The only thing that was preventing it from happening was Death Energy. Otherwise, those injuries wouldn't have bothered him until now.

The Life Core healing power was really awe-inspiring! Even Uriu's lost arm had grown back after some time. That is not something that an ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivator or demon beast should be able to do.

Uriu then looked at this group and asked.

"Who is the leader at the moment?"

Juniu immediately said.

"It is me for the time we are inside the Dimensional Realm."

Uriu nodded and then said.

"Alright. I will follow your orders from now on then."

Juniu's group was taken aback! For a second, they thought that Uriu would ask to let him lead them since he is the strongest here due to his Major Core. But he decided to not do so, much for their surprise.

Juniu looked deeply at Uriu, who was waiting for his words and then sighed.

"No need, you will be the leader from now on."

One of Juniu's companions immediately intervened.

"Juniu, we only have his words at the moment. What if he is trying to guide us into a trap?"

Juniu shook his head and said.

"I believe my instincts, and now they are telling me the Uriu isn't lying. Besides, if you are really doubtful, there is a straightforward method to check it, right?"

Only then did they remember that Uriu is still in the Core Formation Realm, which means that he can't go against a Blood Contract!

Uriu also nodded and asked for them to write one straight away. It was a very simple one. It only stated that Uriu was not lying about the things he said. Uriu signed it, and the seal entered his soul, just to disappear right after. Since Uriu wasn't lying, the blood contract lost its effect as soon as the conditions were met. Seeing that made Juniu's companion sigh in relief, but at the same time, they understood the danger that they are in.

Juniu then looked at Uriu and asked.

"Should we go back to the entrance?"

Uriu immediately shook his head.

"That is unnecessary. You said it yourself, after the number of days since my group received the attack, we didn't find any other assassin. But that also means that we didn't find any reinforcements. Because of that, I believe that this dimension has lost the connection with the outside."

Juniu was taken aback and immediately thought about a possibility.

"Space Lock Formation!"

Uriu nodded.

"Exactly! It also means that it was used from somewhere really far away. If the Space Lock Formation was used from somewhere inside the Divine Path Sect territory, I find it hard to believe that your Sect wouldn't notice it, much less not stop it in time."

Juniu and the others nodded.

Uriu then looked at the central region direction and said.

"Let's meet everyone in the Inner Core region. Only with the advantage in numbers, it might be possible to defend ourselves. After all, we have no idea when the connection to the outside will be mend. We can't count on luck to stay hidden forever."

Everyone agreed with Uriu's idea, and they also started to move in the Inner Core Region direction.
