Chapter 706: Chapter 541: Unable to Summon

This embroidered knife was nearly bonded to her as if it were part of her flesh and blood, making it an excellent item for her to rely on. At this moment, she used the Soul Core she had obtained when she reached Black Iron Ninth Level to sense the knife she left in the Black Iron World. As long as she could sense the location of the knife, she could retrace her steps and return. According to various stories, this was the method used to return from the Upper Realm to the lower world.

But when Li Mingli tried to sense the blade that she left behind, with a hint of her consciousness within it, despite using all her willpower, she could only vaguely sense something. Everything was incredibly blurry, let alone returning to her original world, she couldn’t even get a clear sense of anything.

After some time, a pale-faced Li Mingli cried out in horror, "Why is this so? Wasn’t it said that as long as we sense the item we left behind, we can naturally return to our world? Why am I having such difficulty sensing the item I left behind?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Yang Yue and others changed. They quickly sat down with crossed legs. Soon, everyone opened their eyes, their faces pale. They were terrified to discover that they almost couldn’t sense their items either. Of course, they couldn’t return to the Black Iron World either.

Looking at their reactions, Su Yu frowned slightly. After a moment, Yano said, "Could it be because our current abilities are still too weak, so we can’t sense our items?"

Zhu Xiuqi nodded and said, "That’s the only explanation for now. It seems that we are absolutely incapable of returning to our original world anytime soon."

Su Yu then used his Soul Core to sense the skull he left behind. With a thought, his mind rumbled, and it was as if a wave had stirred in his mind. He immediately sensed the skull he left in the Black Iron World. Then, an image of a palace appeared faintly in his mind. This palace was the place where he usually handled important matters. It seemed his skull was now being worshipped in this palace, guarded by several warriors. He observed all of this.

"Look, the skull is glowing..."

All of a sudden, someone exclaimed softly, and someone else immediately shouted, "Quick, go inform Lord Zhang and the rest..."

Su Yu’s thoughts moved, and the guardians in Black Iron City heard a faint voice emanating from the skull. "It’s not needed... just tell them... we... are okay..." Then, he withdrew his thoughts and returned back to the present world.

Without a doubt, the legend was not incorrect. He could indeed sense the happenings of the lower world through the item he left behind, but he realized it was impossible to return to that world at least for now. Yano was correct; their abilities were simply not strong enough to return to the Black Iron World.

Yano, who was on the side, seemed to think of something. He extended his hand, made a low howling sound. Then, a black light began to emanate from his eyebrows. After that, a terrifying roar came faintly from the void.

Zhu Xiuqi and the others immediately stepped back when they saw this. They understood Yano was trying to summon the Demon Divine Beast.

The fact that Yano possessed a Demon Divine Beast was well-known and not a secret among them. This Divine Beast could not be summoned or aid them in traversing worlds, so Yano did not summon it. But upon entering this world, Yano suddenly thought of something and quickly tried to summon the Demon Divine Beast.

The reason being that he vaguely realized that this Upper Realm differed greatly from their imaginations or rumors about the Upper Realm, which made them feel an vague sense of doom.

The terrifying roar from the void grew faint, and Yano’s face grew redder. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Then, the faint roar from the void disappeared.

"Yano, what happened?" Zhu Xiuqi exclaimed in shock.

Yano’s face grew deadly pale. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It’s useless. This world... this damn world... I can’t even summon the Demon Divine Beast. My Demon Divine Beast... cannot be summoned."

On hearing this, Su Yu’s expression changed slightly too. Summoning the Azure Giant God was his fundamental ability, and now Yano was saying that he could not summon the Demon Divine Beast.

With a thought, Su Yu also started trying to summon the Demon Divine Beast.

A roar echoed once more, and this roar was far clearer than the one when Yano tried to summon earlier. Then, a towering giant hand gradually appeared in the void, although it kept fluctuating and dissipating like a cloud - forming one moment, dispersing the next.

Su Yu’s face grew more and more reddened each moment. Suddenly, he let out a breath and gave up on the summoning.

Yano was not lying. In this world, it seemed impossible to summon the Demon Divine Beast. The world appeared to be like a sealed box, impenetrably hard, beyond even the power of the Demon Divine Beast to penetrate and cross-over.

Su Yu’s expression turned serious. They could not return to their original world, and they also could not summon the Divine Beast. Now they had encountered an extreme dangerous situation. What was the true face of this so-called Upper Realm?

Suddenly, Yano cried out hoarsely, "Could it be that the place we’ve come to is not the Upper Realm at all?"

These words made everyone’s hearts tremble, and they exchanged glances.

Initially, everyone assumed that transcending the Black Iron World would certainly bring them into the legendary, wonderful Upper Realm, but at this moment, seeing the eerie and terrifying strangeness of this world, they finally started to have doubts. Was the Upper Realm like this, or had they not truly entered the Upper Realm at all, but instead, arrived in a much more frightening world?

This strange feeling made everyone look at each other. Su Yu saw that Ada was still deep in slumber and unable to guide or make decisions for him. He could only say, "Regardless of whether this is the Upper Realm or not, there must be other people here. Our priority now is to find these others and ask them what sort of world this is. Staying here is not a solution."

Yang Yue nodded and said, "Right, we must all stick together. The most crucial thing right now is to find someone who can tell us what this place is. Have you all seen that Mechanical Castle floating in the clouds in the distance?"

Zhu Xiuqi looked up and saw in the far distance of this world, there was an ocean, a sky filled with accumulating clouds, and within those clouds, the faint shadow of a Mechanical Castle. He nodded and said, "Yes, since there is a castle in the distance, there should be people. Let’s head there now- we might run into others soon."

They all came from different civilizations and races, and their races held considerable power in the original Upper Realm. They simply needed to find someone who could explain what this world was, and identify the whereabouts of their races. As they moved forward, they knew the rest would be taken care of by their races.

For those who could transcend realms, the races of the Upper Realm were quite welcoming and respectful, because they were powerful forces to be reckoned with.

Su Yu nodded, indicating for Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, and Diudiu to stay by his side. Their recent encounter with the three Biochemical Spiders had enlightened him to the formidable power of the creatures in this world. A one-star Beast General was several times stronger than the Zero-Level Bronze Warriors like Zhu Xiuqi, not to mention the other members of the group like Qin Jiagui and Ma Ziye, who had not yet attained the Bronze Level.

The excitement of entering a New World had faded, replaced by the somber moods of Yang Yue and the others. Only Yano’s eyes glinted with a hint of excitement.

Back in their original world, there were no dangers, hence no progress or further evolution. Now that they had entered this strange and dangerous world, Yano had found a motivation to evolve - the sense of constant perils of life and death, which he needed for stimulation.

Although Li Mingli was grief-stricken, since she temporarily could not return to the Black Iron World, she had no choice but to follow the others. Along with the dog, they travelled towards the Mechanical Castle floating in the clouds in the distance.

Su Yu patted Ada on the shoulder. He believed that, should Ada wake up, Ada would definitely provide some guidance. If his guess was correct, Ada would certainly rise above the limits of the fifth stage of growth when he woke up.

They hurried towards the direction of the distant Mechanical Castle. Having nearly travelled less than a thousand meters, Su Yu, who was leading the group, suddenly felt the ground crumble underneath his feet. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, be careful ..." Before he could finish his sentence, the ground within a radius of a hundred meters abruptly collapsed. Everyone along with Diudiu was taken by surprise and fell in.

The soil within this radius of a hundred meters had been completely hollowed out. Crawling all over the hollowed-out ground were countless bodies.

These corpses, resembling both lifeless bodies and living beings, were severely rotten. However, within the rotten flesh of these bodies, there were dense, red, thread-like substances that interconnected them. These substances gave the bodies - which seemed both like zombies and monsters - the ability to move freely. Within this radius of a hundred meters, there must have been hundreds of these monsters crowded together. And Su Yu and the others had unexpectedly fallen into this swarm of monsters.

Su Yu’s reflexes were the swiftest. Instantly, he roared and transformed into a two-meter long humanoid, black-scaled, Giant Lizard. However, this lizard’s left hand was bronze colored, larger than the rest of its body.

He swung his bronze claw, splitting open two of the monster’s bodies. At the same moment, the "Sacred Eye" on the back of his left hand activated, immediately detecting detailed information about the zombie-like creatures.
