The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: The Final Trial

After they finished thoroughly cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Yan took out the jade token again and carefully studied the map engraved at the very back, then said with a grave expression:

"According to the map I obtained, this is the final danger. However, at the Space Passage there are two Guardian Spirits, extremely formidable."

"I infer that they at least possess Half-Step Void Realm strength, and might very well have already stepped into the Void Realm."

"After all, those three Divinity Transformation Ancient Corpses just now all had peak-level strength, and they were only worthy of guarding this place. The final two Guardian Spirits must be even stronger."

Void-Devouring Tiger looked unusually relaxed at this moment. He sneered a bit disdainfully and said, "So what! No matter how powerful they are, we still have to get through, right? There’s only this last stretch left, it really makes one look forward to it! I, Master Hu, have yet to see a true Void Realm! If things are really as you guessed, I can finally broaden my horizons. And I can also see what you’re really capable of. I think you talk about it so seriously, but deep down you’re just as eager for the upcoming battle."

By the time he finished, Void-Devouring Tiger actually burst out laughing.

Yang Yan had to admit that this fellow really did understand him quite well.

Although he was somewhat worried about the next trial, what he felt even more was anticipation.

Yang Yan also very much wanted to see just how powerful a true Void Realm existence was.

After the man and tiger duo took a short rest, they followed the guidance of the map, passing through layers of dense mist to arrive before the Space Passage.

Focusing his gaze, he saw two figures a thousand zhang tall standing there in utter stillness.

Between the two was a silver vortex, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura.

Although Yang Yan knew very clearly that this was the Space Passage leading to Wandering Dragon Star, he still couldn’t help but compare it against the map once more.

After confirming, he did not rush closer, but instead shifted his gaze onto the two statues quietly standing there.

Just one look caused his heart to sink.

Hesitating for a moment, Yang Yan activated an Earth-level Magical Treasure, sending it flying swiftly toward the Space Tunnel.

In just an instant, Yang Yan’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly withdrew the Spiritual Sense he was using to control it, and at the first possible moment took Void-Devouring Tiger and fled into the distance.

He saw one of the Guardian Spirits suddenly raise the giant sword in its hand. The movement seemed slow, yet the Magical Treasure turned to dust almost at the same instant.

Furthermore, a massive black hole was left behind where it had been, lingering for a long time and causing the surrounding space to become unstable.

At the same time, the other Guardian Spirit actually appeared out of thin air at the spot where Yang Yan had originally been standing.

Pop—

With a soft sound, the Void instantly shattered; the space where he had just been standing collapsed, countless chaotic currents rampaged about, sweeping through everything.

This series of changes came and went quickly. Very soon, everything returned to how it had been, as if nothing had ever happened.

Looking again at those two statues, it was as though they had never moved from beginning to end, standing there in lonely silence.

Yang Yan and Void-Devouring Tiger couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

There was no doubt that this was absolutely not some Half-Step Void Realm, but a solid, genuine breakthrough into the Void Realm.

With Yang Yan’s current cultivation, he simply could not determine what stage of the Void Realm they had reached.

In any case, such terrifying strength made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

Void-Devouring Tiger was completely scared stupid by now. He finally came back to his senses with great difficulty, his whole body trembling slightly as he stammered:

"This is the Void Realm?! Too terrifying, far too terrifying. There’s no way we can pass this trial!"

Yang Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to remain calm. "I suspect these are puppets refined from the physical bodies of two Void Realm cultivators. They have no thoughts of their own, and if we truly had to face them, they might be even more terrifying than Void Realm cultivators of the same level."

Hearing this, Void-Devouring Tiger became even more horrified.

He fell silent for a few seconds, then shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "With such terrifying guards watching over this passage, how are we supposed to reach Wandering Dragon Star?"

Yang Yan also shook his head helplessly. For the moment, he had no solution.

However, this was so far the only path he could confirm, and Yang Yan did not want to give up just like that.

He gathered his mind and sank into a meditative state.

Seeing this, Void-Devouring Tiger didn’t dare disturb him. He stayed off to the side, acting as Guardian while also flipping through his bloodline memories, hoping to find a countermeasure.

A full hour later, Yang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet.

Before Void-Devouring Tiger could ask anything, he casually waved his hand, and numerous Magical Treasures appeared out of thin air, slowly circling around him.

Then he walked step by step toward the two Guardian Spirits.

His gaze locked firmly onto the statue on the left; as for the one on the right, he completely ignored it.

As the distance grew ever shorter, the bewildered Void-Devouring Tiger, still rooted to the spot, became increasingly anxious.

When there were roughly a thousand meters left, the Guardian Spirit on the left suddenly moved.

Yang Yan immediately fled, but this time he deliberately slowed down by a fraction.

The Guardian Spirit swung its giant sword, directly cleaving open a space rift a hundred zhang wide.

Yang Yan was struck by the aftershock on the spot, coughing up a mouthful of blood as several of the bones in his body were fractured.

As expected!

After it attacked just once, even though it clearly could have pressed the advantage, that Guardian Spirit once again returned to its prior stillness.

Yang Yan swallowed a Healing Elixir and, using the fastest possible speed, mended his injuries before continuing his probing.

The second time, his gaze locked onto the statue on the right.

This time, his guess was on the mark again; the right side attacked, while the left remained completely unmoved.

In fact, from the very beginning, Yang Yan had noticed that although the attacks of the two statues seemed simultaneous, if one analyzed carefully, there was actually a difference.

It was just that things had happened so suddenly back then, and their attack speed had been so fast, that it was easy to overlook.

But now he had already reached Half-Step Void Realm, and the strength of his body had even stepped into the Void Realm. Therefore, even such minute differences had been successfully caught by him.

After several repetitions, Yang Yan not only confirmed his guess, but also figured out the attack methods and ranges of the two Guardian Spirits.

Looking somewhat battered, he returned to Void-Devouring Tiger’s side. While repairing his injuries, he said in a low voice, "Hu, I’ve already investigated clearly. Within a thousand li in every direction lies the attack range of these two Guardian Spirits."

"They seem to only strike at things and people that possess the aura of life or fluctuations of Spiritual Power."

Void-Devouring Tiger glanced worriedly at Yang Yan and asked, baffled, "So what? You said it yourself—they’re mindless puppets. Even if we broke through to the Void Realm, we might still not be able to defeat them, let alone in our current state."

Yang Yan, however, smiled mysteriously. "Even so, I discovered that before they attack, there’s half an instant of reaction time."

"What’s more, there’s a fixed order between the two when they strike. That is our opening!"
