The protective cover around the island was revealed; it turned out to be made of a lot of lozenges. Said lozenges were exactly the "sectors" the general had mentioned.
Su Ping and the others followed him to one of the sectors.
The area's cover was opened the moment they approached, allowing them to leave smoothly.
Hardly had they left that protection when they felt the pressure of the void, as if they were in the middle of a deep sea. There was no oxygen in the void; fortunately, Su Ping and the others were able to transform astral power into the oxygen they needed. They would be even less dependent on oxygen as their cultivation rose.
Moo!
Exclamations burst out. A swarm of fast approaching void beasts shrieked excitedly when they saw Su Ping and the others.
"Die!"
The general charged at the invaders, commanding Su Ping and the others as if they were his soldiers.
Everybody followed him closely.
