A mass of golden creatures pressed down like a cloud, so oppressive that it made breathing difficult. These were densely packed insects, all less than three inches long. They had wings, and the sound of their wings was ear-piercing, like metal plates rubbing against each other, making one's teeth ache.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The sword qi in Chu Feng's hand was like a rainbow. This was a divine weapon seized from the foreign land. Now, it was surging with golden light, like raging flames burning. He was killing the strange insects.
These insects were too densely packed, and more than 50% of them were at the golden arhat level. How could ordinary people block them when they swooped down like this?
As the sword in Chu Feng's hand danced, countless insects shattered and fell. Even if they were all at the golden arhat level, they couldn't block the attacks of a saint.
Not long after, the area was piled up with insect corpses. There were simply too many of them.
He could kill many with a single sword strike, but he couldn't stop the swarm of insects. They rushed over from the canyon like golden clouds in an endless stream.
They were like silkworms, but their entire bodies were golden, and they all had golden wings on their backs. The most terrifying thing was that when they opened their mouths, their teeth were sharp and gleaming with cold light.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Near Chu Feng and the others, some insects swooped down and pierced through the sturdy rocks in the forbidden land, gnawing them into powder and riddling them with holes.
This was horrifying. A single attack from these tiny insects made the mountains disappear and an abyss appear on the ground.
Chu Feng sucked in a breath of cold air. The so-called great canyon insect nest was most likely gnawed out by these insects and wasn't a natural canyon. They dared to cause trouble in the forbidden land?
"Little Vermilion Bird, hurry up and eat the insects!" Chu Feng shouted.
The little Vermilion Bird, who was focused on fighting the golden flying insects in the sky, was furious when he heard this. He glared with his ruby-like eyes and wanted to turn around and peck him!
After Chu Feng displayed his might, the sea of golden flying insects turned into ashes in the brilliant sword light. However, they were still so densely packed that even the sky was covered as they pounced over.
"Is there no end to these insects?" Chu Feng frowned.
The little Vermilion Bird said, "These are mystic realm flying silkworms. They are relatively ordinary, but no one has barged in for tens of thousands of years. There's no consumption, so their numbers are definitely endless."
The so-called Mystic Realm Flying Silkworm grew in the Forbidden Mystic Realm.
In this first forbidden area, a seemingly ordinary valley or a mountain could actually form a world of its own, and it was boundlessly vast and contained a world of its own.
Normally, it was very dangerous. There were some unknown creatures living inside, but they did not show themselves. Only when someone intruded into the forbidden area would the secret realm open up, allowing them to go crazy with bloodthirst.
This type of flying silkworm had appeared before in history. It would eat anything and everything, from rocks to plants, and then to soil. It was incomparably savage, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
Clang!
When Chu Feng waved his sword, golden specks of light flew over and collided with the sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Saint-tier insects had appeared, which was very bad.
No wonder the stone fox said that once he reached the Saint level, he would have the chance to enter the forbidden area. This was actually telling him that the weakest threat was also at the Saint level.
"Come to my side!" Chu Feng shouted at the little Vermillion Bird, fearing that something unexpected would happen to it. He didn't know how many divine insects there were, and if by any chance they covered the sky and covered the earth, not to mention the little Vermillion Bird being gnawed until not even its bones remained, even he wouldn't be able to escape.
Clang clang clang!
In a split second, Chu Feng suffered several dozen attacks. Eight divine insects appeared, and when they flapped their wings, the sound was extremely terrifying. It made one's soul ache as they emitted an indescribable shockwave energy.
Chi!
Chu Feng attacked furiously. He chopped a divine insect into two and pierced another one, nailing it onto the sword. Saint blood flowed.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, he shook the pair of sword wings that grew from his ribs and swept through the dangers in all directions. The sword light was like water, and with pu pu sounds, apart from killing a sea of ordinary flying silkworms, he also used three other divine insects to kill them.
"Hmm?"
Chu Feng was astonished. After seeing the Saint level insects, when he used the mutant technique, he discovered that the Divinity Granules he absorbed were much more concentrated than before, and there was also a bit more Ancestral Daoist matter.
This made him astonished, and then he attacked frantically, fighting fiercely here.
Weng weng weng!
Later on, there were more than twenty Saint level golden silkworms circling around him and fluttering about unceasingly. A moment of carelessness made Chu Feng have a bloody hole bitten out of his shoulder. His arm was almost pierced through, and he was almost in danger.
"How can there be so many?" Chu Feng was fearful and scared because there was no end to these flying silkworms. They rushed out from the great canyon like a tide.
Most of them were at the golden arhat realm, and this couldn't be considered an ordinary combat power. It didn't conform to the reality of a race's evolution at all. How many resources would they consume?
"They eat divine remains or eat the soil mixed with divine remains to grow," the little Vermillion Bird informed him.
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's expression changed. He already understood that from ancient times until now, it was unknown how many gods had fallen here. There were countless of them, and they were all absorbed by the forbidden land.
This kind of flying silkworm dared to eat divine remains. Were they not afraid of the strange matter's entanglement? He shivered inwardly. These flying silkworms were truly special.
However, he felt relieved after he recalled that this was the first forbidden land. The living beings born here were certainly very special. Moreover, there was a rumor that whoever could walk out alive would be able to live a new life and remove the threat of the gray fog.
It seemed that there was a solution in the first forbidden land!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Chu Feng was terrified. He had absorbed a large amount of Divinity Granules, but he also felt uneasy. Apart from the Divinity Granules, there was also a wisp of gray fog entering his body.
"The living beings here contain a lot of Divinity Granules, but the strange substance inside their bodies is also denser!"
Chu Feng killed for three days and three nights. His whole body was covered in blood, and he wanted to vomit at the sight of the insects. He was on the verge of collapse and wanted to hide in the stone box several times, but he persevered.
That was because, according to what the little Vermillion Bird said, if he couldn't even pass the first trial, then there was no need to charge into the forbidden land. He would die without a doubt.
Until the fourth day, when his whole body was covered in wounds and there was a sea of insect corpses around him, the world finally became peaceful. There were no more insects flying out from the secret realm in the great canyon.
He had killed dozens of saint-level insects. If this news were to reach the ears of ordinary people, they would certainly be dumbstruck. Dozens of saints had died?
During this period of time, Chu Feng had tried to capture some insects and wanted to investigate their soul light. As a result, he discovered that their spiritual bodies were very special. They contained order runes and were filled with killing intent, but they didn't have their own consciousness.
"These are just biological tools?" He felt a chill from head to toe. Rather than saying they were living beings, it would be better to say they were a sea of slaughter tools created by an indescribable and terrifying method. They were absolutely not normal living beings.
The little Vermillion Bird looked at him worriedly. Her eyes were like crystals and carried uneasiness amidst their purity. She reminded Chu Feng in a low voice that cultivating the Little Six Paths of Time Technique would bring about endless troubles.
In fact, even if it was the legendary perfect Six Paths of Time Technique, in the eyes of the lame Celestial Venerable, it was still a different story as to whether cultivating it would bring about hidden dangers. There was currently no way to verify it.
"Let's go."
Chu Feng didn't mind. Since he had already considered it and made a decision back then, there was nothing to regret or hesitate about.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, he turned around and sensed some movement in the direction they came from. He rushed up a tall mountain with the little Vermillion Bird and opened his Fiery Eyes to look into the distance.
"There are people wandering around outside. They look like the descendants of those gods from Vicious Beast Plateau," said Chu Feng unhurriedly.
He had dealt with these people before. He had killed some of them in the past hundred years.
"It seems like they already know that my mother has passed away since they found this place." The little Vermillion Bird was sad and very sad. Her mother had died and her siblings had already gone to the Yang Realm. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
"Life still has to go on and the path still has to be walked. What's the point of thinking so much?" said Chu Feng. He deliberately played it down so that it could shake off that kind of emotion.
"They're coming to kill us!" said the little Vermillion Bird.
Outside the forbidden area, those people were observing the terrain and touching the bloodstains on the ground with their hands. Not long ago, Chu Feng had killed a descendant of a Martial God and left behind traces.
"There's a Illuminator!" Chu Feng trembled with fear.
He definitely couldn't go out now. He was stuck here and had no way out. He could only advance forward here and quickly become stronger, forcing him to rapidly evolve.
"Little Wu is dead. The little girl from the Vermillion Bird Race found a helper, and it killed him himself. He's not simple."
These people outside the forbidden area ranged from youths to middle-aged men. Every single one of them had an extraordinary bearing. They indeed came from Vicious Beast Plateau and belonged to the descendants of gods.
These people had been in the vicinity of the abyss recently. They had clashed many times with their opponents from the divine beast camp and they really wanted to slaughter the last descendant of the Vermillion Bird Race.
The old Vermillion Bird slaughtering a god was a great hatred for these people and the impact was extremely terrible.
"If it doesn't come out, it will definitely die inside. However, if it gives up halfway and escapes, then leave it to me. I need a maid with divine blood." A blue-haired youngster said with a smile that seemed like the sun shining brilliantly.
"This time, you guys don't have to fight with me. I need a caged bird to respectfully offer it to the Lord God," said another white-haired youth.
On the other hand, a middle-aged man didn't say anything. His head of golden hair emitted rays of light as he suddenly threw a short spear. With a boom, the void exploded and he threw it directly into the forbidden area.
They didn't dare to enter deep into this ancient demonic land. The lessons taught by the blood of their predecessors made them tremble in fear. So many gods had died over the endless years, and now, no one treated this place as a place of resurrection. No one could be reborn at all.
This short spear was too terrifying. Rays of brilliance curled up all over the sky and penetrated everything. After the void exploded, energy surged and surged into the forbidden area.
"Let's go quickly!"
Chu Feng was terrified and his scalp went numb. The moment the other party raised his hand, he knew they were coming for them. He brought along the little Vermillion Bird and charged into the depths of the forbidden area, disappearing from the mountain peak.
Boom!
Only then did he take a step and leave. As the short spear flew down, a huge explosion occurred on that mountain!
The mountaintop disappeared and energy wreaked havoc!
With the methods of an evolver at the illuminator level, let alone a mountaintop, even a star would turn into fine powder if it was hit. It couldn't be stopped at all.
However, the situation here was special. Only one mountaintop was shattered, and when the energy continued to spread, it was blocked by the rune light rising from the ground.
As expected of the forbidden area, it was very difficult to destroy. Even an illuminator couldn't do it.
After all, such mountaintops were densely packed and boundless. Although this was the underground world, there was no difference between this place and the surface. It was auspicious and radiant, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent.
Pfft!
Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he escaped in time with the little Vermillion Bird, he still suffered a slight impact. Illuminators were too terrifying and far surpassed saints.
His face was slightly pale. With a crack, he reconnected his dislocated arm. There were many wounds on his back, and his shoulder had almost exploded.
"You … are you alright?" The little Vermillion Bird was very worried.
"I'm fine. This old fellow is really ruthless. He dared to attack the forbidden area. Isn't he afraid of suffering a calamity?" Chu Feng gritted his teeth. When he became an illuminator and killed his way out, he would definitely skin them alive. So what if they were descendants of gods?
"The periphery of the forbidden area isn't an important area, so it's usually fine. If you dare to touch the depths of the forbidden area or the special terrain, it'll be a dead end," the little Vermillion Bird explained and told him to leave quickly.
However, there was a special terrain blocking the way ahead. It would be troublesome to detour around it.
Chu Feng flew at top speed, but he was still attacked. Another short spear flew over and pierced through the ground near him with a boom. The energy wreaked havoc and almost covered him underneath.
Chu Feng flew out with bloody foam in his mouth. He turned back to look at those people and disappeared with the little Vermillion Bird.
Chu Feng and the others were in big trouble. They were constantly attacked by the flying spears of the illuminators and had no choice but to escape quickly. In the end, they entered an unknown area.
Large amounts of sword light rushed over. There were divine swords one after another, some damaged and broken, but there were also some that were still intact, their power boundless.
Buzz!
The void trembled. There were even large halberds uprooting from the ground and flying over. They suddenly blasted at Chu Feng and the little Vermillion Bird with divine might!
The brilliance of this area was glaring and the atmosphere was stifling. Energy that surpassed the illuminator level filled the air.
Even though they were far away, Chu Feng was already covered in wounds and bleeding. The little Vermillion Bird was also wailing and coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
The sky was filled with interweaving divine rainbows. This was the energy of the gods and their weapons. They weaved about and sealed off this mountainous region. The scene was too terrifying.
Swoosh!
Chu Feng had no choice but to open the space in the stone box. He rushed in with the little Vermillion Bird and quickly closed the lid.
Even so, they were still suppressed by the wisps of divine might until their bodies cracked and were covered in blood. However, they managed to close the box at the critical moment and isolate their auras.
Chu Feng frowned. This was indeed a dangerous area. They weren't even in the depths yet, but the outside was already like this. No wonder the old Vermillion Bird died at the Fallen Phoenix Hill.
"These are the weapons left behind by the gods after they died. Now that they've been activated by the forbidden area, they're shooting out at full speed. They'll kill gods and buddhas in their way!" The little Vermillion Bird was very nervous.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The stone box was attacked. The divine swords, great halberds, and spears all fell down. They either hacked or stabbed into the stone box, sending it flying.
Chu Feng and the little Vermillion Bird tumbled back and forth because the stone box was being attacked. It tumbled about and was even sent flying through the air.
Chu Feng's mind was heavy. This forbidden area was terrifying after all. If he didn't have the stone box, he would have died by the weapons of the gods!
He sighed inwardly. The lame fox was too much of a scam. This was simply sending him to his death!
After an unknown amount of time had passed, everything finally quieted down.
Chu Feng had the little Vermillion Bird hide in the stone box. He carefully went out to probe around, but he didn't feel any danger.
This was a grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see. He didn't know what kind of region the divine swords, great halberds, and the others had hacked the stone box into. There was actually such a vast grassland within the mountains and rivers of this forbidden area. It was just too large.
This was definitely not the outermost region.
The surroundings were very quiet. The lush green meadow grew to half a person's height, the fresh air, and the gentle light. Everything was so beautiful.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. All the wormwood rose and fell violently. Following which, they parted as if forming a path. Then, a layer of goosebumps appeared all over Chu Feng's body.
He saw a large green snake with a diameter of five or six meters. It was even faster than lightning and rushed out from the depths of the grassland. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards him.
A saint level snake!
Pfft!
Chu Feng brandished his sword and fought with all his might. He beheaded the snake and chopped off its head, causing blood to gush out.
Suddenly, he felt an evil wind blowing against his face. He abruptly moved several kilometers away and looked up. A silver winged dragon swooped down and tore the earth apart. This was a peak saint level existence.
Roar!
At the end of the horizon, a golden tyrannosaurus leaped up from a forest. It traversed the vast sky and directly pounced towards Chu Feng.
"What the hell is this place?" Chu Feng trembled. These ferocious beasts were all late stage saint level experts and all of them were very powerful.
After that, he launched an intense battle. This battle lasted for ten years!
That was because he had no way to leave this vast land where the grassland and forest were. There were ferocious beasts everywhere, and if he killed one, another would appear. The ferocious beasts would join forces to hunt him down.
During the hurried years, Chu Feng brought along the little vermillion bird to cultivate and kill enemies at the same time. He was improving constantly and evolving at a rapid pace.
When the tenth year was over, Chu Feng beheaded a golden monster that was thirty kilometers tall. Its blood flowed like a river and dyed the grassland red.
He had already become an existence at the peak of the saint level. He had accumulated enough Divinity Granules a long time ago and his corporeal body wasn't weaker than a Illuminator's. What he lacked was the final step of comprehension towards the order of the world.
He was so close to becoming an expert at the Illuminator level!
Even Chu Feng himself was astonished and a little afraid. Cultivating the Little Six Rays of Time Technique was too heaven-defying and made him feel extremely uneasy.
Every time he beheaded an enemy, he would absorb not only Divinity Granules and Ancestral Daoist matter, but also a portion of order fragments. If not, how was it possible to touch the threshold of the Illuminator level?!
No one could improve so much in ten years!
It could only be said that the Little Six Rays of Time Technique was a shortcut and could be said to be incomparably heaven-defying.
"Everything has a price. My cultivation is so fast. I don't know how much strange matter I've absorbed." Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart.
However, there was no way out now!
During this period of time, the little vermillion bird was also evolving and its cultivation was growing steadily. It didn't cultivate the mutant technique.
