Chapter 1181 Underworld River Forbidden Zone

Chapter 1181 Underworld River Forbidden Zone

Hu—

Lin Xun exhaled a cloud of turbid air, and then he couldn’t help but gnash his teeth.

Just now, he had experienced a tough and arduous battle. His opponent was a swarm of six-winged blood mosquitoes.

Each one was as huge as a fist and had a mouth as pointy and sharp as a blade. They produced thunder-like buzzes that disturbed the mind and shook the spirit.

Moreover, they always appeared in groups and were frighteningly fast. They spewed out streams of toxic green flame.

If bitten by them, one’s energy and qi would be instantly eaten away. They were known to be vicious and deadly.

Given Lin Xun’s current strength, he was still pushed to a miserable and embarrassed state by the six-winged blood mosquitoes and finally had no choice but to flee.

It was understandable. There were far too many mosquitoes he needed to kill.

Lin Xun was burnt black all over, and his skin was covered with bloodied bite marks. He had lost more than half of his blood and qi in the battle.

Even so, he considered this a relatively light injury. From the day he entered the Mythic Fire Realm, he had already experienced similar dangers dozens of times!

Many times, he was surrounded by perils and his life hung by a thread!

He has had enough of the damn place and was anxious to leave.

Therefore, one could imagine the excitement and joy in him when he overheard the conversation in the distance.

Without hesitation, he moved closer to the group.

……

“How about we head back? That’s the Underworld River Forbidden Zone and even saints don’t dare to enter there without good reason,” urged a white-clad woman anxiously.

In the dark ancient forest, she looked particularly beautiful, with eyebrows that curved like the moon. Her name was Rui Manrong.

Beside her stood six other comrades, all of whom were descendants from the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain.

They were headed by a haughty-looking man in a tapered-sleeve robe adorned with a wide belt. He was called Wu Liutao, who had become a king as early as when he was in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Wu Liutao considered her suggestion for a moment and then asked, “What do you guys think?”

He was also a little apprehensive of the Underworld River Forbidden Zone because it was known as one of the most terrifying forbidden places in the Mythic Fire Realm!

“Senior Sister Rui is right. This place is too dangerous. Even if Demon God Lin appears in this area, he likely won’t be able to come out alive!”

The others nodded.

They had been wandering the periphery of this area for close to one a month, afraid to go any deeper.

Even so, they often felt a strong sense of fear and terror enveloping them, which was almost unbearable.

“Why are there still no signs of that damn Demon God Lin? Could he know that we are looking for him, so he gave up entering the Upper Nine Realms?”

Wu Liutao frowned.

According to speculations, cultivators who took the passageway in the Burning Immortal World to enter the Upper Nine Realms would show up in the Mythic Fire Realm.

But now that almost one month had passed without seeing any signs of him, many people started to find it strange.

“In my opinion, he either died long ago or he doesn’t dare to come!”

“Yes, in the Mythic Fire Realm, many powerful forces are searching for him. As long as he dares to appear, he will be surrounded and crushed right away!”

As they talked about Lin Xun, their faces scrunched up with undisguised hatred.

“Never mind, let’s head back. The Mythic Fire Realm is too chaotic, completely different from the Burning Immortal World. There are too many descendants of super forces constantly appearing here.” Wu Liutao made a decision. “Although Senior Brother Wen Aohai has set foot into the supreme king stage, he alone can only protect our senior and junior brothers and sisters of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain from being bullied. So, we must also raise our strength as quickly as possible.”

Wen Aohai!

He was the Chosen of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain! As soon as he reached the Mythic Fire Realm, he, by a very lucky chance, entered a mysterious cave-dwelling, obtained a heaven-defying fortune, and ascended to the supreme king stage!

No one could have imagined or predicted this; it was like a miracle.

And miracles like that often happened in other areas of the Upper Nine Realms in the past month.

Kings sprung up like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, causing countless commotions and uproar.

Most of them were ordinary kings.

It was also not uncommon for people to fail the breakthrough. Some were reduced to half-step kings while some were destroyed, both spirit and body.

Ancient-era eccentric geniuses whom many thought highly of had also failed to survive the supreme king tribulation and were eradicated as a result.

Their years of silent cultivation, forbearance, and waiting were all in vain!

This was the fight for the great dao. If one failed to break through life and death, one would never overcome the tribulation!

Wu Liutao and the others had seen many similar scenes. Though aghast initially, they had grown accustomed to it now.

The Upper Nine Realms might contain heaven-defying opportunities and fortunes, but not everyone could rise with them!

Compared to the Three Thousand Worlds, the Upper Nine Realms were much more dangerous and competitive.

It was not an exaggeration to say that death was a frequent occurrence here!

Without further delay, Wu Liutao and the others turned around and retreated.

After witnessing much bloodshed and death, they had become more and more aware of the preciousness of life. The great dangers and terror of the Underworld River Forbidden Zone deterred them from treading any deeper.

However, they were unaware that a figure was following them as they left.

“No wonder this damn place is so abnormal. It turns out to be a forbidden zone that no one dares to investigate...” The corners of Lin Xun’s lips twitched.

From the conversation between Wu Liutao and the others, he learned that he had been roaming around a danger-ridden forbidden place for over one day and one night.

He did not know whether he should consider himself unlucky or feel lucky.

Two hours later.

Wu Liutao and the others emerged from the ancient forest and couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief as if they had just escaped the gates of hell.

If possible, they never wanted to come here again.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s eyes lit up. Outside of the dark dense forest, he was greeted by the bright sky and vast and gentle plain.

The gentle breeze swayed the lush wild grass and brought a rich and pure aroma that cleansed and refreshed the mind.

Swoosh!

Wu Liutao and the others soared into the air and flew into the distance.

Lin Xun didn’t think too much and just circulated the Suanni Qi to conceal his aura and followed them.

The sky was a serene blue dotted by snow-white clouds.

The landscape was spectacular with jagged mountain ranges, undulating valleys. and meandering rivers.

From time to time, figures streaked across the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye and leaving trails of beautiful light.

Occasionally, huge divine birds swooped down, their wings spreading out like clouds and blocking the sunlight. Wherever they passed, space collapsed behind them.

On the ground, herds of beasts galloped, tigers roared, and wolves howled. Every living creature was incredibly fierce and emitted a chilling aura.

“Eight-winged star bird, fire-tailed flying antelope, double-winged blood lynx, ghostly light snake, Hercules bear...” Lin Xun gasped.

All the divine birds and ferocious beasts that he came across had been extinct in the outside world and were incredibly rare even in ancient times!

At the same time, he distinctly felt the great dao laws between heaven and earth as well as the surging vitality and rich spiritual energy that saturated the air.

It was no exaggeration to say that any random place here trumped all other blessed cultivation lands in the outside world.

This alone was not considered magical or special.

What truly amazed Lin Xun was that, through his body of qi, he could more intuitively, clearly, and easily perceive the traces of the great dao!

The dao was mysterious and traceless.

The seeking of the mysterious dao was the biggest problem that troubled countless cultivators, but the dao was easily felt in the Mythic Fire Realm, one of the Upper Nine Realms.

It was unbelievable!

“It’s no wonder that supreme figures in the world all want to enter the Upper Nine Realms and put all their hopes of breaking through and becoming kings here. This place is indeed magical, just like a legendary cultivation land,” Lin Xun marveled.

He had a feeling that if he could seize every opportunity he came across in the next nine years, his dao path would improve by leaps and bounds!

“We’re here!”

In the distance, Wu Liutao and others finally relaxed.

Lin Xun raised his head and saw a spiritual mountain looming in the swift flow of clouds and mists. The divine sunlight beamed through and bathed the landscape in a holy glow.

Spiritual energy from all directions converged on the mountain like thousands of streams returning to the sea. It was akin to the residence of divine beings!

Swoosh!

When they arrived at the mountain, Wu Liutao and others floated down.

Undoubtedly, this was the territory occupied by descendants of the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain.

“Those guys really know how to enjoy themselves. It’s hard to not make progress in their cultivation if they train in a place like this…” Lin Xun sighed to himself.

A group of cultivators rushed out of the mountain gate to greet Wu Liutao and the others.

“Senior Brother Wu, which junior brother is that? Why is he so badly injured?”

Suddenly, someone noticed Lin Xun who was coming up to them from behind and couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

Wu Liutao, Rui Manrong and the others were frozen in place for a second before they swung round.

The sight of Lin Xun startled them all.

Lin Xun looked a little discomposed with his body charred. Although his wounds had more or less healed, the bite marks and the poison left by the six-winged blood mosquitoes had yet to fade.

Not a single one of the descendants from Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain recognized him.

Lin Xun ignored them and surveyed the spiritual mountain with a fiery gaze.

Only when he got closer did he notice that spiritual energy cascaded down the mountain like waterfalls and formed all sorts of strange visions such as dragons and snakes coiling in the air. Ancient trees grew from narrow crevices and cracks of steep rocky walls and aeth herbs and divine materials found everywhere.

In some places, golden spiritual light was pouring out, and only when he looked carefully did he discover it was actually a spring bubbling with aeth liquid.

Even the soil was rich with life!

“What an extraordinary place! It is indeed extraordinary!”

Lin Xun’s eyes blazed like never before.

“Friend, who are you? Why did you come to the territory of our Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain?”

Wu Liutao and others frowned.

From the beginning to the end, they had no idea that the beggar-looking man was following them.

“Is this the territory of Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain? If so, I came to the right place.”

Lin Xun retracted his gaze and gave a slight smile, showing his pearly-white teeth.

Everyone sized up Lin Xun with surprised expressions. What did this guy mean? From his tone, he clearly came looking for trouble.

But…

He came to look for trouble in that horrific condition!

Everyone had a strange feeling like they just heard the funniest joke in the world.
