Chapter 89 The Forbidden Zone of Life
Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.
The gray-brown earth was barren and desolate.
A young man in white was walking aimlessly, looking tired.
It was Li Wudao.
It has been ten days since he parted ways with Jiang Churan. He has not dared to stop for a moment during these days, running day and night. He has already traveled six million miles away, and he only has one Great Teleportation Talisman left.
"Judging by the time, Xiao Jiang should have returned to the sect by now..."
Li Wudao muttered to himself as he silently continued forward, still not daring to stop.
Three more days passed.
He finally left this gray-brown land.
However, what he saw in front of him made him freeze in place, unable to move forward.
Hundreds of thousands of miles away, a massive chasm rises, stretching as far as the eye can see, like an abyss, pitch black as ink.
Above that boundless chasm, thick black clouds filled the sky, and dozens of bolts of lightning, as thick as an arm, flashed intermittently, illuminating the sky as bright as day.
Even from a great distance, you could see black tornadoes raging, a sight that sent chills down your spine.
This was a bizarre phenomenon: while the rest of the area was bathed in sunshine, that remote, chasm-like region was shrouded in darkness and gloom, with constant lightning and thunder.
Looking at this scene, Li Wudao was astonished.
Could that be the end of the world?
The sight before him was truly magnificent; he could hardly imagine how enormous this natural barrier was.
However, one thing is certain: that place is most likely a very ominous location, and it's best not to continue.
Thinking of this, Li Wudao was about to turn back.
at this time,
A small flying boat descended into the air, and Cheng Yuanliang finally caught up.
He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and a terrifying killing intent was locked onto the boy.
The reappearance of this person also means that most of those men in black have perished.
Li Wudao's face turned ugly, and in that instant, he cursed the other party's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for the worst and had the Great Teleportation Talisman firmly in his grasp long ago.
He glanced at the distant Black Abyss.
Li Wudao steeled his heart and made a decision.
Immediately, he crushed the talisman and disappeared from the spot, giving the other party no chance to make a move.
"I refuse to believe you can keep running forever!"
Cheng Yuanliang sneered repeatedly, took out a compass, and began to locate the position.
next moment,
His smile suddenly froze, and his expression turned grim.
The compass was pointing directly at the black abyss ahead!
"Damn it!"
Cheng Yuanliang angrily turned and immediately boarded the flying boat to give chase.
Two hours later.
He hovered the flying boat in mid-air, not daring to venture any further.
Ahead lay a chaotic place.
Dark clouds loomed over the city, lightning flashed, and piercing gales swept in like sharp blades, leaving nothing but devastation in their wake.
As the gaze moved downwards, a massive rift valley came into view, pitch black and shrouded in thick fog. It was about 60,000 to 70,000 miles wide, its length unknown, and its depth unfathomable.
The canyon walls rise thousands of feet on both sides, extremely steep, as if cleaved by a sword from the heavens, and are remarkably smooth.
The surrounding landscape is also very unique. The surface is grayish-white, the soil is dry and cracked, and it is full of pits and cracks, as if it has been cut by a sharp sword, with extremely regular shapes.
The closer you get to the rift valley, the sparser the vegetation becomes, and the more biting the chaotic winds become.
Cheng Yuanliang stood at the edge of the rift valley, took out his compass and repeatedly checked, his face gradually turning ashen.
"This kid is really courting death, daring to go into a forbidden zone..."
He cursed under his breath and hesitated for a long time, but still dared not enter the rift valley.
There are extremely strange rumors circulating about this forbidden area. It is an extremely dangerous place where any living being that enters will surely die!
At the same time, the scene changes.
Li Wudao fell from the void, staggered to his feet, covered in dust and looking rather disheveled.
"So this is the interior of the Black Abyss...?"
He glanced around in surprise.
At this moment, he seemed to be on a barren mountain, where not a blade of grass grew, it was a completely scorched earth, dilapidated and dull, without a trace of life.
Shifting the gaze to the distance, eight desolate mountain ranges stretch across the sky and earth, resembling giant dragons lying horizontally, winding and magnificent.
After resting for a while, Li Wudao continued his journey along the mountain slope.
From a distance, Black Abyss seemed like a dangerous place, but he couldn't be sure if Cheng Yuanliang would follow him in, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep going.
I don't know how far we walked, maybe an hour, maybe half a day...
It's so quiet here, without a sound. Walking on this desolate land feels like being detached from the original world, making it easy to forget about time.
Just as Li Wudao was getting a little irritated, he finally saw a large ancient forest.
The area is lush with vegetation and full of vitality, no longer as monotonous and dull as before, and now looks full of life.
He walked into the woods, and the further he went, the more unnatural his expression became.
He wanted to find some food to fill his stomach, but after searching for a long time, he only found some wild fruits.
This place is so strange. The vegetation is growing so well, yet I can't see a single living thing.
There was no trace of ferocious beasts, no birdsong, no butterflies, not even an ant in sight; it was deathly silent.
Under a large tree, Li Wudao sat on the ground, eating wild fruit and silently circulating his internal energy to recover his strength.
Suddenly, he jumped up in alarm, "What's going on? Why is my true energy leaking out?!"
After carefully examining the situation, the boy's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Not only was the true essence in the dantian draining away, but even the blood and qi in the body were inexplicably being drawn out!
It's one thing to devour true essence, but to even plunder blood essence is terrifying.
However, the current rate of loss is relatively small and still within his tolerance range.
Suppressing his panic, Li Wudao gritted his teeth and continued for several more miles, hoping to find something.
He was now unsure whether the problem lay with the abyss, the desolate forest, or perhaps both.
"Click——"
Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out beneath my feet.
Li Wudao stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
He grumbled and looked over, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes became much clearer.
At this moment, in the bushes at their feet, several mummified corpses lay on the ground. It was unknown how long they had been dead; their clothes had long since weathered away and turned to dust at the slightest touch.
He forced himself to squat down and examine the body closely, suppressing his nausea.
These mummies did not have any obvious fatal wounds, and their deaths were similar, making them unlikely to be murders.
Seeing this, Li Wudao's face turned somewhat pale.
Damn, could these people have been... killed by something unclean?
Or was it drained by this strange place?
But whatever the speculation, it's definitely not a good thing.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously shrank his neck, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Hiss... This Black Abyss is really no safe place..."
He was starting to chicken out and wanted to leave this awful place as soon as possible.
But they hadn't walked far when
The sky gradually darkened, and it became visibly black, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Li Wudao opened his double pupils to search for direction, only to find himself lost, unable to distinguish east from west or north from south.
In the silent mountain forest, gusts of cold wind swept through, the shadows of the trees swaying like ghostly figures, overlapping and whispering.
"Roar--"
Just then, from the distant depths came a series of chilling roars.
The sound was mournful and deafening, filled with deep resentment, and extremely penetrating. It even caused the entire forest to rustle and tremble slightly.
"Damn, there really is something unclean here..."
Li Wudao's face turned pale instantly, and a chill ran from his heels to the back of his head.
This roar was a hundred times more shocking than any of the monsters he had ever seen, giving him a deep tremor in his soul and sending chills down his spine!
..........
at the same time.
At the foot of the Xuantian Sect lies Qunying City.
The sky was cloudless, a warm breeze was blowing, and the sunlight was just right.
On the top floor of Zuiyu Tower, in a secret room.
Xia Gucheng sat in the main seat, sipping his tea with a relaxed expression, and casually asked:
"While I was away, that kid didn't cause any trouble, did he?"
The manager of Zuiyulou stood cautiously to one side, his expression complex, hesitant to speak, "Reporting to the master, the young master..."
Seeing his expression, Xia Gucheng frowned and said unhappily, "What's wrong with him? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up!"
The manager of Zuiyulou stammered, his face unnatural, and said, "Young Master... he seems to have trespassed into the Sword Ruins..."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Gucheng's expression changed drastically, and the tea in his hand trembled, falling directly to the ground.
"Yunshan! Have you forgotten what I instructed you before I left?"
"Is this how you protect him?!"
He stood up angrily, and the powerful aura of the Emperor Realm erupted instantly, overturning everything in the room. All the tables, chairs, and benches were shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye.
