Chapter 578 The Virulent Sand Flow
After entering the space rift, the four found themselves in a yellow, boundless space with countless
channels. It was difficult to tell whether each channel had an end or not.
"These passages indicate that we will go to different ces after entering the Land of Legacy. In some
ces, we may get great chances to promote our cultivation skills; in some ces, we may encounter

life-threatening dangers; in others, we may find nothing and eventually return empty-handed. What we
will encounter entirely depends on our luck," Terrence informed Ricky, Soar, and Madeline through their
telepathic link.
"I see. It seems that from the moment we set foot on the space rift, crises have been everywhere,
awaiting us. I hope our luck will not be so bad as to enter a dangerous ce," said Ricky.
Without any hesitation, the four intuitively chose a channel and jumped into it.
Hum! Hum! They felt their bodies slightly shake and then found themselves in a deste area. There
was nothing but endless yellow sand that was constantly surging like it had a life of its own.
A gripping feeling of gloom hung over the ce like dark clouds before a big storm, and the air smelled
toxic.
Looking at the sandy, yellow hell in front of them, the four slowly came to the realization that they were
trapped.
The yellow sand beneath their feet started moving urgently, swallowing them little by little.
Boom! Boom! Without any hesitation, the four hurriedly called on their Ultimate Domains and made
every effort to stop the sand from sucking them in. They managed to use all of their power to float high
in the air but only for a moment.
To their great surprise and horror, the sand started sucking them in even more forcefully. Their Ultimate
Domains did not seem to affect it at all, and their spiritual energy seemed to have no effect on its
sinking power.
"What''s going on? What kind of sand is this? How can it stop us from standing mid-air?" Soar said
incredulously.
"Before entering the Land of Legacy, I asked around for some information about this mysterious ce.
If I am not wrong, we are now in the Virulent Sand Flow," replied Terrence solemnly.
Terrence''s grim expression could only mean that this so-called Virulent Sand Flow was extremely
dangerous for anyone who dared enter it.
"The Virulent Sand Flow!" eximed Ricky with a grave expression.
"This ce is called the Virulent Sand Flow because the sand here naturally contains massive amounts
of toxins, massive enough to seep into the air and cover every corner of this space," Terrence said.
Like a self-fulfilling prophecy, Terrence''s words started turning into living nightmares for himself and
others present. They were almost knee-deep into the sand now, and the toxins Terrence just described
were starting to feel all too real. They could feel them seeping into their garments and into their skin
now, and their enlightening power could only slow it down and notpletely stop it.
If the sand was as grossly toxic as described, it should only take less than two days to decimate
everything, the four''s bodies and their enlightening power.
"Well, they were right to name this ce the Virulent Sand Flow. I felt toxic the moment I stepped in the
sand," said Soar.
"The so-called sand flow refers to the quicksand here, which naturally has a strong sinking power. I
was told that every spiritual king who ever entered here was not able to break away. We are truly out of
luck. The first ce we came to in the Land of Legacy is the Virulent Sand Flow,"
said Terrence.
"Then how do we get out of this horrible ce? Are we just going to die here helplessly like all those
spiritual kings?" Ricky asked desperately. He was afraid that at the rate they were sinking, it would only
take half a day for the sand to swallow all four of thempletely, not to mention the deadly toxins that
might be swimming freely in their bloodstreams.
"We can''t even float high in the air here."
"Hold on for a second," said Terrence, putting his palms together and closing his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Terrence''s aura erupted and surged all around him in a dense cloud of surreal, sparkling
ck smoke. Then, a huge ck bird appeared in front of Ricky, Soar, and Madeline. It was the ck
Peafowl, Terrence''s beast body.
The ck Peafowl was dark all over, and each of its feathers was like cast ck iron, glistening with
cold awn. Its huge, sharp beak seemed to be able to snap a full-grown man in half with the slightest
effort.
Besides, it seemed that its sharp ws could tear through flesh like it was paper.
Standing close to the ck Peafowl, Ricky, Soar, and Madeline marveled at its unquestionable
magnificence, but its most striking quality was its eyes that looked like a pair of round, smooth, jet ck
marbles resting above its mighty beak. Along with their reflections in those eyes, Ricky, Soar, and
Madeline also saw a merciless killer instinct, which Ricky found especially unsettling. Ricky had known
Terrence for a long time. Killing was not in his nature. He thought the ck Peafowl with such a strong
killer instinct could not possibly materialize from Terrence''s aura.
Looking at Terrence''s beast body, Ricky suddenly felt like he was staring at a stranger with dark
feathers that had red, murderous blood flowing underneath them.
Warriors'' beast bodies were supposed to reflect their spirits, and that was why it didn''t make any sense
that Terrence''s would look and feel dangerously powerful.
However, Ricky was quite clear about the reason behind Terrence''s unusual behavior. Terrence had
been practicing the Killing Swordsmanship.
Ricky also knew that it was because of Terrence''s cultivation of the Killing Swordsmanship that Jasper
believed Terrence''s talent was no inferior to his.
pping his huge ck wings, Terrence tried to break free from the Virulent Sand Flow''s pull.
The Virulent Sand Flow''s sinking power was almost too much for Terrence to handle. Sweat broke from
Terrence''s skin and seeped into his dark feathers because of the strenuous effort he was exerting.
Sweating might be amon thing for warriors at the state of Blood Purification, but it was almost
impossible for the innate spiritual kings to sweat a lot. But now, Terrence was sweating all over in such
a short period of time, which showed how much power he had spent to resist the sinking power of the
Virulent Sand Flow.
"What a powerful force! If I didn''t have these wings, I''m afraid I wouldn''t have been able toe out of
the sand," said Terrence in a grave mood while pping his wings at top speed.
Even in his beast body, Terrence could feel the toxins from the sand eating at his wings.
"Killing Enlightenment!" Terrence bellowed. With that, Terrence''s wings glowed that they almost looked
white for a moment. With the power of his Killing Enlightenment, his wings started to feel lighter and
stronger. The toxins were being expelled.
"Terrence''s Killing Enlightenment is actually stronger than before," Ricky said solemnly. He was sure
that it was the reason why Terrence could remain in mid-air under this harsh environment.
The next moment, Terrence snarled fiercely.
The huge w under his abdomen glowed with spiritual energy and then turned into a big hand. He
took Ricky, Soar, and Madeline out of the sand and threw them on his back.
"Terrence, can you still fly?" asked Ricky anxiously.
"I don''t think I still have enough power to fly," Terrence said with difficulty.
"Even if I can still fly, the Virulent Sand Flow is vast and boundless, and there are poisonous fogs in
many ces. If we fly into the fogs, we will all die."
"So, how long can you remain in mid-air?" asked Ricky in a somber voice.
"I can only fly for another half hour at most. After that, we have to find another way to save ourselves,
or we will perish," said Terrence with his voice growing heavy and worried.
"Terrence, you said you asked around about the Virulent Sand Flow. Did you not get survival tips from
those you asked?" asked Soar.
"When I researched about the Virulent Sand Flow, I was not thinking about us getting ultimately stuck in
it, and so, I did not ask for survival tips," said Terrence.
"There is another way, but considering our situation, we would die before we find one," Terrence added.
"Find what?" retorted Soar.
"To survive here, we must have an airship to carry us because the sand cannot sink it," said Terrence.
