"God dammit, I never thought that those insignificant people who are only Gods and Overgods would be treated like this. Jin Hong is a supreme prodigy who has obtained the Grand Exalt's legacy. He's the undisputed strongest expert among us. Not only have those people avoided the risk of fighting the Life-devouring Beasts in the outside world by handing their divine halls to Jin Hong, but they've also saved themselves from the tiring journey." The prodigy of the Chu family, Chu Jie, felt both envious and jealous as he looked at the divine halls in Jin Hong's hands.
"Under Jin Hong's protection, their chances of survival are much greater than outside. God dammit, if I had known something like this would happen, I would have delayed my breakthrough to the Divine King realm. That way, I would have been able to hide comfortably in a divine hall and rest. I wouldn't have had to risk my life outside, "thought Chu Jie. Chu Jie thought inside. He looked at the divine hall in his hand that contained several thousand Gods and Overgods as he sighed inside.
。
The tree-shaped Life-devouring Beast had taught them that the Life-devouring Beast was not just a beast. It could also take the form of various plants. Once they concealed themselves, it would be very difficult to discover them even if they approached the Life-devouring Beast. As a result, they had to constantly be on guard against a sudden attack from the Life-devouring Beast. Not only did they have to be constantly on edge, but the constant vigilance would also cause them to feel exhausted. As time went on, all of them would feel exhausted. It was nowhere near as comfortable as staying in the divine hall.
As a result, Chu Jie basically wished that he was the one who had entered the divine hall instead.
At the same time, many of the Divine King realm prodigies shared the same thoughts as Chu Jie. They were extremely fearful of the Life-devouring Beast and the cultivators who had died to it.
Most of the prodigies were afraid of death. They were like flowers that had grown up in a greenhouse. They were not as courageous and fearless as the people from the Emperor Lotus Sword sect.
"Young master Jin Hong, I've only broken through to the Divine King realm recently. I haven't consolidated my cultivation completely, so I won't be of much help against the Life-devouring Beast.
Why don't I enter the divine hall as well? I'll leave all the divine guards under my command to young master Jin Hong. " At this moment, a leader from a top force walked up to Jin Hong. He had a fawning expression on his face as he spoke humbly. There was a hint of desire in his eyes.
The Divine Guards they were talking about were the men of sacrifice trained by the Hundred Calamity Divine King Dan.
"Guang Wanhua, you're a dignified Divine King Realm expert. You're no different from us, yet you're so cowardly. The Crimson Light Clan has really lost all face to have a disciple like you," said the Divine King Realm genius of the Sun Clan. His tone was full of sarcasm.
The Crimson Light Clan's Guang Wanhua's face turned red, but he couldn't refute. This was because most of the remaining Divine King were at the early stage of the Divine King realm, the same realm as him.
There were even a few who broke through later than him.
"Guang Wanhua, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. I just hope you understand that you're not just representing yourself right now. You're also representing the Crimson Light Clan behind you. The Crimson Light Clan is one of the most famous clans in the Saints' World, especially Ancestor Crimson Light. He's an indomitable figure in the Saints' World. As his backer, you don't have to be as indomitable as him, but you can't tarnish the reputation of the Crimson Light Clan, "said Jin Hong. His tone was very calm, without the slightest hint of aggressiveness. However, there was an unyielding courage in his words. He was unafraid of death and had the courage to face everything.
"Yes, young master Jin Hong is right," Guang Wanhua felt ashamed. He no longer dared to bring up the matter of hiding in the divine hall.
Chu Jie originally wanted to hide in the divine hall as well, but after seeing Guang Wanhua's example, he immediately dismissed the idea.
"This Jin Hong is quite a talent." Jianchen nodded inwardly. Jin Hong wasn't that old either. He had cultivated for less than a thousand years, yet he was able to maintain a calm and collected attitude after achieving so much in such a short period of time. It was indeed commendable. If he didn't die prematurely, his future accomplishments would definitely be astonishing.
The group shrank and formed a circular formation as they continued to advance. They arranged all the divine guards around them while the Divine King realm prodigies were in the center. This way, even if the Life Sucking Beasts attacked, the Divine King realm deathsworn would be the first to come into contact with them. This would reduce the casualties of ordinary cultivators.
After all, the Divine King realm deathsworn could only live for a hundred years at most. At the same time, quite a few of them had already lived for several decades, so they did not have much time left. As a result, they did not feel too pained about losing them.
As they advanced, the grey mist in the forest became denser and denser. In the end, even with the eyesight of Godkings, they could only see a distance of a hundred meters. Fortunately, they could still use the senses of their souls, so they were able to observe the situation within a radius of ten kilometers with the senses of their souls.
Jianchen looked at the dense mist that blotted out the sky and frowned slightly. This was because he could clearly sense that as the mist thickened, the mist gradually changed as well. It actually slowly seeped into his body through his skin, pores, and even through his breathing. Afterwards, it lodged itself in his body and began to devour his vitality.
Even though it was extremely well-hidden and could fool Jin Hong who had obtained the Grand Exalt's legacy, it could not fool Jianchen who had reached the Primordial realm and whose soul had mutated, becoming extraordinarily sensitive.
"Miss Qian, there's something strange about the mist. If you trust me, immediately use energy to protect yourself. Don't let the mist approach you," Jianchen said to He Qianqian secretly.
Hearing that, He Qianqian turned around and glanced at Jian Chen in surprise. However, she did not say anything. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to examine it carefully.
Jianchen sighed inside when he saw that. He knew that he would probably have to explain his warning out of kindness, as it was impossible for the Divine King to discover the hidden dangers in the mist.
Let alone the Divine King, even some Infinite Primes would not be able to discover them.
This was because this fog was like a parasite. Once it was sucked into a cultivator's body, it would quietly hide and fuse with the cultivator's body. Without special methods or extraordinary abilities, it was impossible to discover its existence.
They resided in the cultivator's body and slowly grew stronger by devouring life. The cultivator would not be able to sense the life they had devoured at all. This was because both the life that had been devoured and the life that had not been devoured remained in the cultivator's body. As a result, no one would be able to discover anything strange. The only difference was that the life that had been devoured no longer belonged to the host.
"I just don't know if the gray fog residing in a cultivator's body will undergo a new change when it absorbs life force to a certain extent." Jianchen suddenly thought of something. He could not help but think of the Life Devouring Beast in the Two World Mountain Range. He began to speculate.
At this moment, He Qianqian opened her eyes as well. She stared at Jianchen suspiciously and said, "Yang Yutian, I didn't discover anything strange. What do you mean by strange?"
"The mist is nowhere near as simple as it seems on the surface. It will invade the body and hide there. If you don't guard against it, it will definitely leave behind a huge hidden danger in the future. The consequences will be unimaginable. As a result, just in case, don't let the mist approach you. Don't ask me how I know. My senses are far greater than ordinary people's. I can discover many things that you can't, "said Jianchen.
He Qianqian stared at Jianchen with shining eyes as if she wanted to see through Jianchen's eyes and see whether Jianchen was telling the truth.
This was because she did not believe Jianchen at all. She came from the Tianhe clan and had been personally nurtured by a Primordial realm expert since young. She had been imbued with a lot of knowledge. She believed herself to be far more knowledgeable than ordinary people. In her opinion, even if there really was something wrong here, it should have been her who discovered it first. It was impossible for a mere independent cultivator like Jianchen to discover it first. Moreover, she could not detect anything at all.
As for Jianchen's explanation that his senses were far greater than ordinary people's, He Qianqian snorted disdainfully. Could it be that they, geniuses of peak organisations who cultivated various ancient secret techniques, could not compare to a single independent cultivator?
Jianchen could not help but feel powerless when he saw He Qianqian's doubtful gaze. He said, "Miss Qian, don't worry. I won't harm you. You won't be wrong if you listen to me." Jianchen was unable to find a reason to convince He Qianqian, as he could not expose his strength. Otherwise, once the Darkstar race learned that a Primordial realm expert had come from the outside world, they would definitely be on guard and make corresponding arrangements. By then, saving Seiyu would become extremely difficult.
He Qianqian thought about it seriously before saying, "This place isn't like the Saints' World, where we can absorb origin energy from the surroundings at any time to replenish ourselves. If we really listen to you and use energy to protect ourselves, we'll be depleting our origin energy extremely quickly. I'll go find young master Jin Hong. He's a Grand Exalt's successor. I'll see if he can discover any problems. If the mist really is as dangerous as you say, Yang Yutian, you've done us a great service this time. But if it weren't for … "
He Qianqian paused when she reached there. Her cold gaze immediately sharpened, and she said sternly, "I hope you understand that once I discover that you're toying with us in a situation like this, the consequences will be thousands of times more severe than usual." With that, He Qianqian turned around and made her way towards Jin Hong's side.
"Sigh, my good intentions are being treated as ill intent." Jianchen felt helpless. He directly ignored He Qianqian's threat. If he wanted to, he could leave the group at any time.
The Two World Mountains were a sea of blades and a hell of boiling oil in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it was like his backyard.
"However, the Two World Mountains are just too large. The senses of my soul are suppressed, so I'm unable to see the entire place. Moreover, this world is formed from a huge beast, and the depths of the Two World Mountains seem to be the heart of the beast. It wriggles from time to time. Every time it wriggles, the landscape will change, and the direction will deviate. It's no different from a maze. If I want to leave, I'll need these people to lead the way. Only by using their secret technique to sense the Hundred Saints City will I be able to leave more easily, "Jianchen thought.
