“Indeed, a powerful opponent has appeared. Jiang Yi, we will go and handle it; the rest are to hurry past it.” The Buddha Emperor had also sensed that creature’s presence as he shouted and exchanged a glance with Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded as the two of them sped up and flew in front as the others slowed their pace. In the huge cavern ahead, a head as big as a human’s emerged and was scanning the surroundings. The small green snakes encountered previously were only as thick as a thumb; this green snake was as thick as a human head. Its battle strength was definitely much stronger.
Tsk! Tsk!
The duo was ten thousand feet away as that green snake came out from the cavern. Its stench traveled from far away to the two of them. This green snake’s mouth had four sharp teeth that had a cold glow to them; this creature did not feel like a snake but more like a terrifying beast.
“Such fast speed!”
Jiang Yi hurriedly shot out tens of thousands of small fire dragons and also controlled many of them to aim into the green snake’s mouth, trying to injure it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge green snake was rocked by explosions such that its huge head tumbled in the sky. However, when all the explosions were exhausted, there were only a few tiny specks on its head; it had not suffered any damage whatsoever with its skin also untouched.
“Hahaha!”
The Buddha Emperor saw Jiang Yi’s gloomy expression as he laughed out loudly. A black alms bowl appeared in his hand as he smashed it at the snake’s head. An explosive sound could be heard as the green snake’s head was knocked back a few hundred feet. When the snake’s head shot forward again, the Buddha Emperor used his alms bowl to strike it once again.
Tsk! Tsk!
After being struck a few times, the green snake grew a little annoyed and angry. Its entire body came out from the cavern. Its tail end had sharp spikes on it as it swept its tail straight at the Buddha Emperor.
“Divinity Slayer!”
Jiang Yi had acc.u.mulated enough energy as three fire dragons and a ferocious aura headed straight for the green snake. However, right after he launched his attack, the small spikes on the snake’s tail volleyed forth as they shot forth like black shadows at the duo.
“Be careful.”
Jiang Yi could instinctively feel the danger as he moved his body and positioned himself in front of the Buddha Emperor. His Mystic Divine Armor appeared, and he activated his divine s.h.i.+eld to face those green spikes.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Those green spikes’ speed was impressive. They were much faster than the green snakes. A portion of them was destroyed by the three fire dragons while a small number hit Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s DemiG.o.d divine s.h.i.+eld could only hold on for a few seconds before it was immediately broken, and dozen-odd spikes struck Jiang Yi’s Mystic Divine Armor.
Ring! Ring!
A consecutive volley of metal striking metal noises rang out. Jiang Yi felt those spikes were like a dozen-odd Overlord-Destroying Spears smas.h.i.+ng on his chest; although they weren’t that powerful, his internal organs felt the impact of that attack as he spat a mouthful of fresh blood out.
“That deadly?”
The Buddha Emperor’s eyes flashed as his lay Buddhist outfit flayed, and both his hands started to dance. A golden Buddha glow shone from his body as he sent it forth furiously. The essence force in the vicinity was shaking violently as a huge ‘Buddha’ word appeared and followed behind the three fire dragons to attack the green snake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Divinity Slayer’s power was sufficiently great that the green snake was sent flying as it was covered with fresh blood; its mouth was also full of blood. One of its teeth had also been destroyed. The green snake was sent smas.h.i.+ng into the cliff walls and it then rebounded.
Buzz!
The huge ‘Buddha’ word that was thirty feet wide followed suit and pressed the green snake heavily into the ground. However, the ‘Buddha’ word did not vanish but glowed faintly; it was preventing the green snake from moving. The Buddha Emperor yelled, “Let’s move, hurry!”
The Yin Emperor and company saw from behind that the green snake was being held down and quickly went around the snake as they continued to release their attacks and sped to the front. Jiang Yi and the Buddha Emperor once again released their attacks and then sped away as well. This green snake had been hit by the duo’s strongest attacks and had not died? The two naturally did not wish to waste any time; there was no use in killing this green snake at all.
After exiting the gorge, a great patch of wasteland appeared in front. It seemed to be borderless. Furthermore, everyone realized that heaven and earth essence energy here was exceptionally concentrated; it was more than ten-fold that of the East Imperial Continent’s. Once they entered the wasteland, every breath they took was very refres.h.i.+ng.
“Could this place be a super huge continent?”
The Night Emperor muttered as he was stunned; a mystic realm could actually be so huge? That was unbelievable. If this place was not a spatial zone refined by an extremely formidable martial artist, then this mystic realm contained some really shocking secrets.
“Such a mystical place, why has no one discovered it before? Could it be that those who entered all could not leave? What if it was the Mystic Thearch who entered?”
The Yin Emperor’s eyes were also filled with astonishment. Mystic realms were conventionally smaller; unless it was a strange s.p.a.ce that was refined by a cardinal formidable martial artist. This Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea was huge. Jiang Yi had flown in the sea for so long and the group had already traveled for such a long distance. Yet, the way ahead of them still seemed limitless? It was no wonder that everyone was shocked.
“Go!”
The Buddha Emperor’s eyes were filled with excitement. He was just like a child who had discovered a new toy. His temperament was too strong; his excitement at exploring this continent superseded his fear of death.
Everyone hurriedly followed after him; it was obvious they were taking it a lot worse than him. Their faces were dead serious. Everything here had completely gone against what they knew and believed in; even if a small beast suddenly appeared and killed them, that would not be so strange anymore.
“Could this place be the Higher Domain?”
The Xuan Emperor suddenly thought of something and asked. The Yin Emperor and others started thinking about this as well but the Buddha Emperor waved a hand and said, “If it was that easy to enter the Higher Domain, the Mystic Thearch had no need to shatter the void already. This is just a very strange mystic realm. The beasts here are so strong probably due to the extremely high concentration of heaven and earth essence energy here. Just think about the Mystic Thearch City. Let’s go. There is no point in guessing further; wouldn’t we know more once we investigated?”
Indeed, there was a spirit concentration array in the Mystic Thearch City. The heaven and earth essence force concentration there was also exceptionally strong; all the children that grew up in the Mystic Thearch City were all immensely gifted. Even an elder selling vegetables could be a Vajra Realm or Heaven Monarch martial artist.
The group thought about it, and the Buddha Emperor’s words seemed to make sense. They did not speak anymore but followed him in silence as they continued to explore this new world and search for the Buddha Thearch and company.
…
Five days, the group traveled within the wasteland for five whole days. They still could find no end to this wasteland; this place was indeed not an island but a continent.
During these five days, the group had encountered many strange little beasts. Furthermore, their average defensive abilities were exceptionally strong. The demonic beasts here had almost negligible intelligence; they seemed to all be transformed breeds. Hence, besides their fast speed and strong defenses, they did not know any demonic arts while their attacks were dependent on their strong physical bodies; they were incredibly weak at attacking.
The group sped forward as fast as they could. They did not bother to engage the demonic beasts here in battle and avoided as many as they could; those that they could not avoid, they fought their way out and escaped. In the last two days, Jiang Yi decided to let Yin Ruobing, Jiang Xiaonu, Yi Chan, and Xiao Fei out. They had more or less gotten a sense of this continent; as long as they were careful, no one would die.
The seventh day came!
The group stood on top of a cliff as they halted their advance. Their eyes were serious; even the Buddha Emperor’s expression was heavy. Beneath the cliff was a patch of flatlands; far away from them, everyone could vaguely make out a tribe.
Indeed, it was a tribe; it was a human tribe!
In this mysterious world, even small snakes and big trees were lethal; how strong would the humans here be? No one could imagine. If things went south, all of them would be stuck in this Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea forever.
