Shua!
Lin Xun used the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, narrowly avoiding the attack.
A rock silently split open behind him, revealing its smooth surface.
Swoosh— Swoosh— Swoosh—
Before Lin Xun could respond, rays of black light again cut through the blood-colored fog like black lightning bolts. It was strange, chilling, and terrifying.
They whizzed like rain, lashing towards his side.
“God Devourer Insects! Run!” Lian Dieyi exclaimed as she darted towards the other side, her pretty face blanching with terror.
God Devourer Insects!
The name alone indicated the terror of such creatures.
Lin Xun followed Lian Dieyi without any hesitation. She wasn’t weak, but she was so frightened that she had to speed away, which made him realize that the situation wasn’t good.
Suddenly, a ray of black light neared him. Unable to avoid it, he thrust his palm forward.
With a boom, pale azure light rippled outwards from his palm, but the black light seemed to be completely unaffected. It pierced right through the blast of wind generated from the palm and rushed toward the space between his brows.
It isn’t afraid of attacks?
Lin Xun trembled inwardly. His palm thrust had contained power after he had undergone a complete transformation and reached the perfect realm of the Spirit Sea Stage. But he still couldn’t fend off the ray of black light!
Boom!
Suddenly, the black light penetrated the center of Lin Xun’s eyebrows, bringing him burning pain.
At that moment, he saw the true face of the ray of black light. It was a black insect in the shape of a thorn, and it was smaller than a grain of rice.
It instantly rushed into Lin Xun’s mind-sea and headed straight for his spirit.
It was too terrifying. It was an attack on his spirit and not the body. It was unexpected, ruthless, and impossible to guard against.
Lian Dieyi, who had already escaped, sighed out loud. Without turning around, she knew that Lin Xun had been struck.
The God Devourer Insects were a kind of ominous creature that always traveled in groups. They were formed from the fiendish qi in the world and were invisible and formless, so they were unafraid of attacks.
Even someone with omnipotent powers wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.
The most terrifying thing was that they tended to devour spirits and had devoured even the spirits of divine beings in ancient times.
“Little handsome guy, I’m really sorry, but I’ll head out first. When I resolve my troubles, I will build a tomb for you and pay my respects to you.”
Lian Dieyi sighed, but she didn’t slow down. She darted ahead with incredible speed. She didn’t want the God Devourer Insects to swallow her.
“It’s not very kind to run away and not save someone,” a voice rang in Lian Dieyi’s ears.
Her body stiffened in shock. Then, she saw Lin Xun, whom she thought had died, catching up to her!
“You’re…fine?” she asked in bewilderment.
“Did you hope that something would happen to me?” Lin Xun asked.
However, Lian Dieyi smiled brightly, looking surprised, “You’re really fine! That’s great! But you can’t blame me for leaving first. Those God Devourer Insects are too terrifying. I would die if I stayed behind.”
Lin Xun snorted and said, “Let’s go and get out of here. Once we leave this place I don’t want to work with you anymore.”
Lian Dieyi’s expression dramatically changed. She had noticed Lin Xun’s discontent about her actions.
“Forgive me this one time, okay? How would I have known the terrifying God Devourer Insects would appear here,” she said pitifully.
Anyone else’s heart would melt to see such a gorgeous and charming woman speak so softly.
“I…” Lian Dieyi was about to say something when Lin Xun made a shushing gesture and peered into the distance.
A figure slowly emerged in the depths of the blood-colored fog, but it was too illusory and hazy.
Soon, Lin Xun realized that it was a woman in torn feathered clothes. Her eyes were hollowed, and black blood was trickling down her body.
She stood there motionlessly. A bowl-sized hole was displayed in her chest. It was as though sharp claws had forcibly gouged out her heart.
The sight chilled Lin Xun to the bone.
“An ancient divine corpse of the blood river! She...she broke the power of the curse...and went ashore...”
Lian Dieyi’s face blanched with terror.
Run!
At the same time, the two spun around, changed directions, and fled frantically.
The aura of the ancient female corpse was too terrifying. It was a corpse, but it still emitted an aura of despair.
“Another ancient corpse!”
Before long, another ancient corpse appeared in front of the two. It was a skeleton draped with rotten armor. Black blood swirled in its eye sockets as it glanced around the blood-colored fog as if it was at a loss.
As it swept its empty eyes over Lin Xun, he stiffened and froze to the spot. It was as though he was being stared at by the god of death and was about to suffocate.
Fortunately, the ancient corpse soon disappeared into the blood-colored haze like it hadn’t noticed them.
“If my guess is correct, this place should be...the forbidden area in the Ancient Blood Wasteland. Even a Life Death Stage King wouldn’t dare to trespass into this area!”
The color drained from Lian Dieyi’s pretty face, and her voice trembled as she explained. “We must get out of here as soon as possible!”
As she was speaking, she turned her head and bolted at full speed.
She seemed to have made up her mind that she would rather run into the people looking to kill her on the way back than continuing ahead.
She knew how terrifying the so-called forbidden area was, and she dared not stay any longer.
“What is the forbidden area?” asked Lin Xun
“In ancient times, a battle between gods broke out there. They traveled there to kill Luohou Monster-Beast King, but in the end, no one survived, including Luohou Monster-Beast King. They all perished there. The forbidden area is said to be filled with the mysterious power of the curse. The power can make the great Dao disappear and kill all spirits!”
As Lian Dieyi maneuvered across the air, she said in a trembling voice. “If I had known that this area is a forbidden area, I would rather fight those bastards at the risk of my life than come here.”
Lin Xun inhaled sharply. Even though it was a rumor, he still felt a chill in his heart. The place had to be terrifying since even gods were buried there.
It was hard to imagine that such a terrifying place existed in the Treasure Drop Blood Plain.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a thunder-like sound broke the silence in the depths of the blood-colored fog.
Chi—
A gush of blood-colored sword qi rushed into the sky, transforming into a blood sun and flowing with black blood!
Boom!
Immediately, the sound of a drum filled the air. It was deep and resounding, shaking the universe. Then, a broken bronze drum soared into the air, its surface stained with black blood.
Heaven and earth were stirred. No one would dare to take even a glimpse at the blood dripping from the blood-red sword qi. It seemed that one glance would obliterate one’s spirits.
The beating of the war drum was even more terror-inducing and could almost drive one’s soul to leave their body.
“Quickly run!” Lian Dieyi screamed.
The visions were too terrifying. It was as though the terrifying beings that perished in ancient times had been resurrected.
Lin Xun had already activated the Hornless Ice Dragon Step and bolted.
While they were fleeing for their lives, a flag pierced with countless holes loomed in the depths of the blood-colored fog. It whipped in the wind, releasing rays of black blood-colored light.
Battle cries and screams reverberated in the air. It seemed as though an earth-shattering battle was breaking out.
Upon a careful look, one would see mangled and blood-soaked ancient corpses battling amidst the blood-colored fog like the gods in ancient times. However, their blood was strangely black, making them seem even more mysterious and terrifying.
Lin Xun and Lian Dieyi couldn’t see that, but the noise and movements within the fog still gripped them with fear.
The place wasn’t one that Spirit Sea cultivators should come to!
“This isn’t good!”
In another area, Ling Zinuo narrowed her eyes and retreated without any hesitation. She sensed the same terrifying vision.
“Damn it, did the demon girl break into the forbidden area and cause the power of the curse to revive?”
Yun Ke turned ashen-faced. He abruptly turned around and frantically fled.
“Damn it!” Yuan Zhan roared and ran for his life.
At that moment, all the genius talents who had entered the area started to flee without any hesitation.
This was because they had all heard about the forbidden area of the Ancient Blood Wasteland. There, gods had been buried, and unfathomable curse power had filled the area. Once the power erupted, it was like an apocalypse!
Rumble—
When Lin Xun and Lian Dieyi narrowly escaped the area, they saw blood-colored mist rushing into the sky, dyeing the sky red. Sword qi, war drums, battle flags, rays of blade light, ancient scriptures...all sorts of bizarre and terrifying visions appeared in the sky.
Earthshaking battle cries shook the world like a battle between the gods had broken out. The sky and the earth quaked, and the sun and the moon lost their splendor.
“What is that?”
“So terrifying!”
“Quickly run!”
All cultivators in the Treasure Drop Blood Plain panicked. They simultaneously turned in the same direction and saw an earthshaking vision.
“The vision of the battle of the gods has appeared again. All this is about to end again. Ahh, it never lasts more than two months. I wonder when Treasure Drop Blood Plain will open again,” a Heaven Ascension elder sighed.
He had entered Treasure Drop Blood Plain more than once, so he knew everything would come to an end once the strange vision emerged. Treasure Drop Blood Plain would disappear from the world and return to silence.
It was rumored that the ancient treasures scattered in various areas of Treasure Drop Blood Plain came from the vision of the battle between the gods.
In other words, every time a vision appeared, ancient treasures would flow out and disperse to various areas of Treasure Drop Blood Plain.
Unfortunately, once the vision came to an end, the passage to Treasure Drop Blood Plain would have already closed up. Cultivators would have to wait for the passage to open up again for another opportunity to hunt for ancient treasures.
“Let’s go!”
“Hurry, you will be buried here if you don’t leave now!”
Cultivators madly bolted across Treasure Drop Blood Plain, all rushing toward the exit like the tide.
Lin Xun and Lian Dieyi were also among them. Both of them had only just recovered from the shock after escaping the danger. As they looked back at Ancient Blood Wasteland from afar, they both rejoiced to have survived the calamity.
Everything was indeed too astonishing.
Shua!
Lin Xun used the Hornless Ice Dragon Step, narrowly avoiding the attack.
A rock silently split open behind him, revealing its smooth surface.
Swoosh— Swoosh— Swoosh—
