"This kid has it easy." Knowing how frightening Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone was, Gold Rock cut off the thoughts in his heart. He had never heard of an Astral Reaching expert entering and coming out. Once trapped inside, even Sea of Soul realm experts wouldn't be able to save him. Perhaps a Life and Death King might have the ability, but who could invite a Life and Death King to save him? From now on, he might never see this person again.
Shen Tujue, who had stopped at the edge of the fog, seemed to be unwilling. He placed his right hand before his chest and pushed out.
This palm didn't have any offensive power. As the palm energy spread out, a fierce palm wind radiated out, blowing away the fog of several li.
The fog in the surroundings seemed to have come to life, scrambling to fill the empty space swept away by the palm wind. After a few blinks of an eye, the fog became even denser, without the slightest gap. The fog contained a strange substance, making the transmission of mental power extremely difficult.
"Damn it! My Blood Evil Stone!"
Shen Tujue gnashed his teeth. The Blood Evil Stone had been taken away by Ye Chen, and was now completely cut off from him. Relying on the three ordinary Blood Evil Stones in his hands, his chances of condensing a martial spirit didn't exceed twenty percent. He didn't know when he would be able to obtain another one.
Rumble!
The lake water caved in under Shen Tujue's attack, looking like an overturned cauldron.
Pei Youdao didn't say anything and flew back the way he came. Rather than wasting time here, he might as well try his luck in the Blood Demon Battlefield. Who knew, he might be able to kill one or two of the remaining Blood Evil Beasts.
Seeing Shen Tujue's flustered and exasperated appearance, Gold Rock's heart calmed down a lot. He comforted himself, 'Even if I capture that kid, my chances of obtaining the Blood Evil Stone won't exceed thirty percent. If Shen Tujue obtains it, the number one Astral Reaching expert in South Rudra Region would be without a doubt.'
"Hehe, Shen Tujue, I'll take my leave first."
Laughing heartily, Gold Rock turned around and left.
"Humph! Although I didn't obtain the Blood Evil Stone, I still dealt with a peak genius who could threaten Floating Mountain Sect. Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone isn't as simple as not being able to leave. Just wait for your death inside!" Furiously looking at the fog, Shen Tujue thought bitterly.
Swish!
Shen Tujue chased after Pei Youdao and Gold Rock.
…
He couldn't see the stars, the scenery around him, or even the lake water. Ye Chen seemed to have entered another world, isolated from the outside world.
"Fortunately, only 10% of my soul power is restricted, while 90% of my mental power is restricted."
The biggest difference between Ye Chen and Astral Reaching Realm warriors was that not only could he use his powerful soul power, he could also use his mental power. And, the soul power was the source of the mental power. There were not many things that could restrict it, not even that strange fog.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Chen fell head first into the ice-cold lake.
…
When Shentu Jue and the other two returned to the Blood Demon Battlefield, it was already the morning of the next day.
There were more and more Astral Reaching Realm warriors at the edge of the burial mound, no less than hundreds of them. With the White Robe Blade Artist there, no one was afraid of the Blood Evil Beasts rushing out to kill them all, since no matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to kill an Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warrior and hundreds of Astral Reaching Realm warriors who were not weak at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, three streaks of light streaked across the sky and flew over.
"They're here!"
"I wonder if Ye Chen was killed?"
"He's probably dead! With three Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors joining hands, no one under Sea of Soul realm would be able to escape. Don't forget that Shen Tujue and Pei Youdao are the top existences among Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Their individual strength surpasses Ye Chen's. "
"What a pity. It's been many years since such a stunning genius has appeared in South Rudra Region."
Everyone discussed spiritedly, their faces revealing expressions of pity.
Seeing the three return, the White Robe Blade Artist creased his brows. Emotionally, he didn't wish for Ye Chen to die. Rationally, Ye Chen had indeed died nine times out of ten. He had a bit of friendship with Pei Youdao, so he asked, "Pei Youdao, what's the situation?"
Pei Youdao said indifferently, "There won't be a second Ye Chen in this world."
"Dead?"
Pei Youdao shook his head, then nodded, "Not dead, but it's no different from being dead. He entered the thirty thousand li Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone."
"Thirty thousand li Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone." The White Robe Blade Artist's pupils shrank. Twenty years ago, his master had also entered the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone, and had yet to return. At that time, his master was known as one of the three Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors of South Rudra Region, and his strength could only be higher than his.
Hearing the conversation between the White Robe Blade Artist and Pei Youdao, everyone turned silent.
Indeed, entering the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone was no different from death. There had never been an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who had walked out of it. There was once a Sea of Soul realm warrior who wanted to explore the mysteries of the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone. In the end, he was trapped inside for three years, never daring to enter again.
"Ye Chen entered the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone?" A strange glint flickered in Murong Qingcheng's eyes as she recalled her encounter with Ye Chen. The first time they met, he wasn't that outstanding, but rather ordinary. The second time, his strength had made great progress, saving her and Qi Shaofeng's lives at the critical moment. The third time they met, he shocked the world with a single brilliant feat, seizing the first rank of the Hidden Dragon List from Sikong Sheng's hands, shocking everyone. The fourth time they met, Ye Chen found it hard to find an opponent among Astral Reaching experts. He suppressed White Bone Ghost General with his own strength, and fought evenly with Floating Mountain Sect's Great Elder Shen Tujue. Afterward, he even had the guts to snatch the Blood Evil Stone from the hands of four Extreme Astral Reaching experts. Such boldness and methods could only be described as shocking.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that although many people hadn't seen Ye Chen in person, his fame was resounding. His fame was unparalleled among the younger generation of South Rudra Region. Even the older generation Astral Reaching experts weren't as famous as him. Some people even compared Ye Chen to the peak geniuses of other regions, believing that he would be a peak genius no matter where he went, and couldn't be ignored. Even Sikong Sheng hadn't received such an evaluation.
"I believe you can walk out of the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone."
Murong Qingcheng inwardly said.
Mo Yan stared blankly for a moment, then his face revealed an obscure happiness. He was very clear about the terror of the Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone. Ye Chen truly wouldn't be able to come out this time. For a moment, he felt incomparably carefree.
At the same time, Li Daoxuan, Yan Chihuo, and Bing Ling all had different expressions.
"Wang Pao, get lost." With nowhere to vent the evil flames in his heart, Shen Tujue's gaze fell on the White Robed Blade Artist as he said sinisterly.
The White Robed Blade Artist sneered, "I've long wanted to see your strength. Bring it on!"
"Boasting shamelessly, die!"
The two no longer spoke, and started fighting.
…
…
"Splash!"
Waves rose on the ice-cold lake, and an unconscious figure was tossed up and down. The surroundings were covered in a thick, dusky fog; one couldn't even see their fingers if they stretched out their hands.
After an unknown period of time, Ye Chen woke up from his coma.
"Where is this!"
Without any strength left in his body, Ye Chen spat out the lake water in his mouth with great difficulty, his eyes vacant.
After a long time, he gave up on exploring. No matter how powerful his soul power was, it could only scan a radius of a few dozen li. Moreover, this fog seemed to be endless, without any boundaries.
Turning his attention from the surroundings to his own body, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. The situation was not looking good. Fifty percent of his meridians had been damaged, and the undamaged meridians were blocked. Zhen Yuan couldn't pass through, causing the Zhen Yuan core in his dantian to be dim and almost dried up. To make matters worse, Ye Chen's internal and external injuries were quite severe, causing his physical strength to drop to a critical level. After being soaked in the ice-cold lake water for several days, some of his flesh had started to rot.
The only good news was that there was still a Green Lotus Sword Qi left in his dantian, which was probably his only life-saving measure.
"Let's heal the injuries first."
If an ordinary person encountered this kind of situation, they would be dead for sure. Fortunately, Ye Chen had the Sky Demon Flower in his storage ring, which could heal this kind of injury without a problem.
A trace of Zhen Yuan flowed out of the dim Zhen Yuan core, flowing out through an intact meridian, and finally into the storage ring.
Buzz!
A piece of Sky Demon Flower appeared in Ye Chen's palm.
Unable to directly swallow the Sky Demon Flower to heal his injuries, Ye Chen could only use his remaining Zhen Yuan to absorb the medicinal power and merge it into his left arm.
The lack of Zhen Yuan led to the absorption of the medicinal power being very little. In the past, with sufficient Zhen Yuan, he could completely recover in an hour. But now, after five days, he had only recovered thirty percent.
"Finally, I can move!"
The Sky Demon Flower had not only recovered thirty percent of his injuries, it had also greatly increased Ye Chen's physical strength. With this powerful body, ordinary Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists might not be Ye Chen's opponent. Moving freely on the lake water was not too difficult.
Without Zhen Yuan, he couldn't fly. Ye Chen picked a direction and swam forward with both his hands and feet.
One day!
Two days!
After a week, Ye Chen finally found a small island.
Climbing onto the island, Ye Chen looked around. This island was only several hundred meters in circumference. It couldn't be any smaller, and could be submerged by the lake water at any time. On the island, there were some strange plants and tall rocks. Between the rocks, there were some small spatial cracks.
Lighting a fire and roasting fish, Ye Chen hadn't eaten for many days.
Near the bonfire, Ye Chen's face was illuminated by the flames, flickering between light and dark.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be a forbidden area of Star Regional Lake — Bewilderment Fog Forbidden Zone, known as the place of no return for Astral Reaching experts. Although I have soul power, it will be extremely difficult for me to leave. Moreover, with my strength, I can't guarantee my own safety. I can't act on my own."
Losing Zhen Yuan had a huge impact on Ye Chen. He had no choice but to think twice.
After eating some roasted fish, Ye Chen didn't continue using the Sky Demon Flower to heal his injuries. It was not that he didn't want to, but the last trace of Zhen Yuan in his body had already been used up. He simply couldn't absorb the Sky Demon Flower's medicinal power. As for taking the Sky Demon Flower, he didn't think about it. It was not yet a matter of life and death, so there was no need to risk his life.
"Unable to heal, unable to recover Zhen Yuan … I can only refine my will."
He swallowed a meridian mending Wondrous Spirit Pill. Without Zhen Yuan, the pellet's refining speed was horrifyingly slow, and its effect wasn't very good either. Ye Chen didn't expect the Wondrous Spirit Pill to mend his meridians. He only hoped that it could mend a part of it and provide the simplest Zhen Yuan circulation route.
After doing all this, Ye Chen took out a blood-red stone from his bosom. Taking a deep breath, he activated his sword intent, filling it with the stone.
