Chapter 1194: 1194
“Young Master, let me go and take a look . ” The assassin raised his hand to block the young warrior . He took a step forward into the snow towards the castle of ice and snow .

“What is there to be afraid of? With our capabilities, it will be easy for us to seize the castle and kill the puppets,” the young warrior muttered .
“Young Master, it is still best to be careful,” The level 7 sorcerer said to the young warrior, as if he was soothing a child .
The assassin stalked forward until he arrived at the base of the castle . They had yet to encounter any attack . In his heart, he secretly thought, “It looks like Young Master was correct . This castle does not have an owner . We have hit the jackpot!”
As he was having such thoughts, he had accidentally stepped on a tiny worm . The worm immediately bit a hole in his boot . It had almost managed to injure the assassin’s toe . The metal thorn in the assassin’s hands stabbed into the snow and pierced through the worm .
His stab was stealthy and silent . Even if there was someone standing opposite him, they would not have been able to discover it . However, all of the puppets in Saleen’s Puppet World Territory shared a common perception . The small worm was a miniature puppet . After it had been stabbed, hundreds of puppets immediately rushed down from the castle and surrounded the assassin’s party .
Once they were attacked, all of the puppets would react, fixating on the assassin as their target to hunt down and kill .
Dozens of weapons were thrust towards him from all directions . The assassin was transformed into a shadow clone . However, it was hit by the poisonous liquid that one of the puppets had shot out, and the shadow clone was transformed back to the assassin’s body . The assassin screamed in pain, but sounds were not transmitted out .
The territory was not meant to be used that way . It was only because Saleen had planned on giving up on the territory that he had used it as a magic skill . The territory could be sustained for more than six hours . The assassin was immediately cut into pieces by the swarm of puppets . Outside the castle, the explorers were still bitterly awaiting his return .
If they escaped, it would still be fine for them . Saleen did not allow the puppets to attack wantonly . The puppets would only attack if they had been harmed . The assassin did not understand and wanted to kill the miniature puppet that had attacked him . As a result, he had brought on a fatal disaster upon himself .
Numerous puppets rushed out from the castle, surrounding the remaining five explorers .
The young warrior’s expression turned ashen with fear, but he loudly shouted, “I am the son of the True Might of the wilderness, you can’t…”

Pfft…
A gigantic axe descended from the sky, cutting the young warrior into half from head to toe . Of the remaining four explorers, none of their capabilities exceeded level 8 . These explorers had been the strongest team on the Myers Continent . However, now there were more and more people at level 10 on the continent . In the face of the territorial skill, the small group was powerless to resist .
“Chop them into minced meat!”
“Hahaha, haha…”
The demonic spirits in the Magical Elemental Tower grew excited and yelled as they looked on . Saleen had looked after them, allowing them to be spared from the humiliation faced by demonic spirits and to avoid being turned into food . The demonic spirits had gained the power of the magic net and the viciousness in their blood had increased . In the ancient times, even demonic spirits had the possibility for them to become professionals at level 10 and above . Now, demonic spirits were made to play second fiddle and were treated as food . Even an imp would be able to hunt them down .
“Split up and escape!” The mage shouted and flew up into the air . However, he was shot by hundreds of flying puppets with crossbows . The small group of explorers had not even lasted three minutes before they were swallowed up by Saleen’s Puppet World .
On a mountain peak more than 500 kilometers away, the snow was a few meters thick . On top of the snow, a middle-aged man stood alone in the wind . He stepped solidly on the soft snow . He had not released anything, but he did not sink .
Only a True Might would be able to attain that type of control . Even if a golden grand swordmaster wished to stand on top of snow, they would only be able to by using their sword aura .
The man stood in the freezing cold wind . Wind element surrounded his body, and a long sword flew back and forth . It was not borrowing the power of the wind element, but was pulling along the cracks of the wind element with the man’s mental power .
Suddenly the middle-aged man’s sword crashed into the ground . The middle-aged man’s black eyes glowed explosively . “My child! Something has happened!” The middle-aged man originally had a peaceful expression, but suddenly turned into anger . The winds on the mountaintop were attracted to him in an instant, forming a huge twister . The long sword took flight once more . The man grasped the long sword in his hands . “Slaves of the sword!”
“Master!”

Countless voices replied from the surrounding mountains, valleys, and slopes amidst the deeply piled snow .
“Go and see who killed my child!” The man’s voice was a hundred times colder than the frosty snow . The anger that knitted his brows lessened in a split second, turning instead to some level of suspicion .
There weren’t any powerful forces in the surrounding areas . Of the professionals cultivating in the area, his powers were the strongest . Who else would dare to come and find trouble with him?
His own son was nothing special, but he was still a silver grand swordmaster .
There were an archer, mages, and an assassin protecting his son . With such a combination, even if they had encountered a golden grand swordmaster, they would be able to gain the upper hand . The scroll that he had left to the mages should also have been able to protect his son and allow him to escape from a large majority of dangers .
Who was it? Could it be that they were targeting him?
Saleen did not know that his territory he had set in place had a level 10 person’s son . Furthermore, their capabilities were much greater than Jola’s .
A True Might’s boundary, once mature, was able to oppose a territory .
Saleen passed through the spatial pathway and journeyed forward . The pathway was unusually narrow, as it could only allow accommodate three people . It was also exceptionally long . The space seemed to be underground . Apart from earth elements, Saleen felt that the other five types of elements were sparse .
Fortunately Saleen had learned Jalin’s movement skill and had created the Comet Flash . In places rich in earth element, Saleen was even more swift .
He had advanced for more than 50 kilometers, but there was still no end to the pathway . Saleen picked up speed, treating it as practice for his skills . Saleen’s speed shot up to 150 kilometers per hour in a split second . To be able to reach this type of speed when running on the ground, Saleen needed to have a firm grasp of the Water Shield spell . Otherwise, he would have been flattened after hitting into a wall .

After running consecutively for six hours, Saleen was still unable to exit the pathway .
Saleen understood that he had entered an illusion . Or perhaps it was a maze .
It had been six hours, and he had covered close to 1,000 kilometers . What pathway could possibly be that long? Spatial pathways were just like magic patterns . Depending on the length, the energy required to maintain them was huge . Thus, most magic arrays had fixed specifications and were divided into large, medium, and small . The length of magic patterns were fixed to allow mages to save a large amount of their time and resources .
In order to calculate a new scale of length for magic patterns and all of the necessary symbols complementary to it, a large amount of a mage’s time would be consumed for each small change .
Maintaining a spatial pathway was the same . Typically, the energy consumption was most economical if the pathway was 600 meters to one kilometer . Maintaining low levels of consumption for anything longer or shorter required a significant amount of time to arrange the formulae and recalculate every minor detail .
Even the ancient humans were unwilling to do it . Of course, the Myers Goddess would not, because her spatial pathways needed to be maintained of tens of thousands of years . Although they were sealed, requiring her to open them herself, a special length would cause the loss of energy to be especially severe . There could even be a possibility that she would have no way to reopen the pathway .
Saleen began to chant a lightning rune . Thunder rumbled and the pathway became broader . In the pitch-black darkness, a large number of forked pathways appeared . It was no longer the lone pathway that had been before him .
Saleen’s Elemental Eye able to tell that, amongst the large number of split paths, only one would lead to the temple . He had walked 1,000 kilometers, but he had just been going back and forth at the entrance .
Saleen adjusted his bearings . There was no pressure in using his Elemental Eye to dissect the details of the maze . The Figaro Magic Formula analyzed it completely . Saleen reduced his speed to about 15 kilometers an hour . At last, he found the correct path to enter the temple .
Of course, the best method for anyone who wished to enter the temple was to use the Ring of Gifts and the Goddess’ power of faith or godly power . However, Saleen did not wish to . Godly power was convenient, but using it too much would cause a reliance .
Saleen ignored the numerous splits in the pathway . He walked to the end of the pathway, which was a broad exit . Outside the exit were floating white clouds . Amidst the clouds were 24 tall and majestic temples .
Saleen was indescribably delighted . Although there weren’t any Sky City’s fragments, the white clouds were formed from solidified essence of water element . The temples were built on a huge piece of essence of the elements .
Equipment that was refined with water element essence could accommodate the equipment of the 24 temples .
The Magical Element Tower was sturdy and durable, but when taking flight, its attack was too monotonous . The demonic spirits and magic nets could not be used . The Magical Element Tower was only a formidable attack power when it was floating and had changed its form .
To Saleen, the Magical Element Tower’s only benefit was that it was difficult to destroy . Any level 16 professional would have to consume a large amount of time and mental power to breach it successfully .
If he was able to collect the clouds, it would be sufficient to carry 100,000 soldiers in the air .
Saleen thought for a moment and created a wind dragon that rushed towards the white clouds . When the level 8 wind dragon entered the white cloud, it immediately dissipated, as if it were dust .
“As expected, it won’t be easy . Thankfully, I am a body of water element!” Saleen had already decided that the white cloud was his .
