…
The Battle Halberd Tribe was one of the big tribes among the Barbarian Tribes. It had a population of two million and eight hundred thousand, and its territory was more than three hundred thousand miles, just like a barbarian country.
The Battle Halberd Tribe did not have just one gathering place. Just like how human countries were divided into many cities, the Battle Halberd Tribe was also divided into more than ten towns. In the middle of these towns was the main city of the Battle Halberd Tribe, called the Battle Halberd City.
And the Poison Mountain of the Battle Halberd Tribe was right next to the Battle Halberd City.
Around the Poison Mountain, there were a shocking number of Barbarians patrolling. Every one thousand meters, there was a row of watchtowers, and every five thousand meters, there was a huge fortress. There were also some flying beasts that the Barbarians were raising, flying around in the sky, giving people a feeling that they had nowhere to attack.
Not far from them, under the shadow of a rock mountain, two black shadows were faintly discernible, combining with the shadow.
"There are too many Barbarian warriors, and there are so many flying beasts in the sky. There are also some hidden defenses that we don't know about." Ye Chen frowned. Facing this kind of situation, he almost had no idea what to do. After all, he could not use his soul power to check around. Even if he did, he might not be able to enter the Poison Mountain within a second without being noticed.
"Let's go to other places to check."
Murong Qingcheng suggested.
They went to a few places, and they were all equally well guarded. Some of them were even several times more tightly guarded. Obviously, they were important places.
"No rush. Let's talk about it at night."
At night, Ye Chen's shadow profound could be used to its limit, and so could Murong Qingcheng's dark profound. With the cover of the night, it should not be a problem for them to enter the Poison Mountain.
…
The night came, and a waning moon rose up slowly. From time to time, there were lotus clouds blocking the moonlight, making the whole place pitch black.
"Let's go!"
The second the waning moon was covered by the lotus clouds, Ye Chen's body moved like a shadow, flying close to the ground without making any sound.
Murong Qingcheng spread her wings and flew high up. Under the effect of her dark profound, she had merged with the night sky, making no sound at all.
Without raising any alarm, the two smoothly passed through the poisonous gas and entered the Poison Mountain.
The Poison Mountain was huge, and there were many of them. There were some poisonous beasts and beasts in the mountain, but there were not many of them, and their ranks were not that high either.
Late at night.
The two of them finally found the location of the Skeleton Flower.
"So many Skeleton Flowers!"
In a valley that was neither too big nor too small, Skull Flowers grew densely. It was impossible to count them all. Above the valley, illusory skulls appeared very strange.
"Three thousand eight hundred years!"
"Four thousand five hundred years!"
"Four thousand nine hundred years!"
"Five thousand five hundred years!"
"There really is a Skeleton Flower that is over five thousand years old." Ye Chen looked around and immediately discovered a relatively large Skeleton Flower. The black aura that this flower emitted was as dense as water. If it was daytime, it would definitely look like spilled ink.
"I also have a six thousand year old Skeleton Flower here."
Murong Qingcheng transmitted her voice over.
Ye Chen replied, "Pick a few more, just in case."
Pop!
The two had only picked a couple of Skeleton Flowers when a couple of the illusory skulls floating above the valley suddenly disappeared. It turned out that these skulls were formed by the poisonous qi, and the Skeleton Flowers were the source of the poisonous qi. Now that a couple of the most mature ones had been taken away, it caused a change immediately.
Screech!
On a tall mountain far away, a beast bird with sharp eyes saw the change in the valley and screeched into the sky. The sound was very penetrating!
"Not good! Let's go!"
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng rushed out of the valley. Their bodies flashed once as they shot out, activating their shadow profound and dark profound respectively to hide their aura.
"Who is it?"
There was a building in the Poison Mountain, and a huge group of barbarians flew out of it. The leader was obviously a peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm barbarian, and his Zhen yuan vibration was very powerful. Soon, a huge soul power spread out toward the direction where Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were flying.
Obviously, although Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had powerful profound, they could not escape from the senses of a peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm barbarian, who was able to detect the two immediately.
"Some humans have broken in! Seal them up immediately!"
The Poison Mountain was only a hundred miles wide, which was more than enough for growing poisonous plants. But, for Sea of Souls Realm warriors, one scan would be able to cover a hundred miles. This barbarian spread out his soul power and talked to the nearest Sea of Souls Realm barbarian.
"You are looking for death! Humans dare to break into our Poison Mountain?"
The Sea of Souls Realm barbarians outside were furious. They all rushed toward the designated location, blocking the path that Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were trying to break through.
Whoo!
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng rushed out of the poisonous miasma, but what greeted them were countless sharp arrows that shone with a cold light or solidified spear lights.
"Darkness Sky!"
Murong Qingcheng put up a black shield, blocking out the sharp arrows and spear lights.
"Fly into the sky!"
Ye Chen held Murong Qingcheng's hand, flying toward the clouds above the Poison Mountain. They were fast like a rainbow, leaving a light trace under the moonlight.
"Huh!"
How could the Sea of Souls Realm barbarians let them go so easily? They pushed their Zhen yuan and chased after them.
Gradually, most of the weaker Sea of Souls Realm barbarians had been left behind, so they had to give up. Only one barbarian with the highest cultivation was left, which was indeed horrifying. Although he was only at peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm, his Zhen yuan was way more powerful than normal peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warriors. He seemed to be accumulating Zhen yuan to prepare for the Life and Death Realm.
"Barbarian King Palm Print!"
The barbarian realized that he couldn't catch up with Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng in a short time. So, he pressed his huge fan-like palm in the air, and a thick and hazy illusory palm print emerged, rushing towards the two. All of a sudden, the wind blew, the clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. The air rippled like water, pushing the two sides.
"So powerful! I am afraid he is not that far away from the half-step Barbarian King realm."
The Life and Death Realm was not that easy to reach, and countless people had been stuck at this bottleneck. But, some of the more determined people could reach the half-step king warrior level after decades or even hundreds of years of training. Although half-step king warriors were not as powerful as Life and Death Realm warriors, they were still way more powerful than master level Sea of Souls Realm warriors. For example, Sun Tai, the leader of the Southern Shallow Water Ape race, was a half-step beast king, and his power was immeasurable.
Right now, Ye Chen could not compete with half-step Barbarian King warriors, even if it were the top five young warriors.
"Thunder Devour!"
Turning around suddenly, Ye Chen crossed his two swords in front of him, and the thunder ball landed on that illusory palm print.
Boom!
The blast wave swept across the sky, and Ye Chen's whole body was blown away. His speed had increased by more than two times, but he reacted extremely fast, grabbing onto Murong Qingcheng and bringing her along with him. Using the momentum, they managed to get away from that barbarian who was chasing after them.
"Cunning human!"
An angry expression flashed past the barbarian's face.
"Barbarian King Roar!"
Like a whale sucking in water, the barbarian sucked in the air and clouds within thousands of meters around him. Then, his eyes popped out as he opened his mouth to let out a shocking sound wave. It contained his Zhen yuan that was close to the Life and Death Realm. Once it was let out, the whole sky turned bright white.
Boom!
The next second, a doomsday-like explosion was heard. The sound wave spread out at hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound, covering Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng immediately.
Pooh!
The two puked out a mouthful of blood. The sound wave was like a high frequency vibration machine, which had shaken their bodies thousands of times within a second. If it were not for Ye Chen's rank 3 spirit body and dragon power, and Murong Qingcheng's rank 2 demon body, that roar would have wounded them badly and made them lose their battling power.
The high frequency vibration had also stopped the two's Zhen yuan from operating, and their speed had decreased drastically. It seemed like they were about to be caught up.
"Dream-eating Wolf, come out!" Ye Chen was about to summon the Dream-eating Wolf and have a great battle with the barbarian. As long as the barbarian's will power had not reached rank 5, the Dream-eating Wolf might be able to make him enter the dreamland. Therefore, it was still uncertain who would have the upper hand. Plus, besides his own power and the Dream-eating Wolf, he still had another ace up his sleeve. Unless it was a life and death situation, he would not use it.
"Ye Chen, I have a way to escape!"
Murong Qingcheng grabbed Ye Chen's hand, which was about to hit the beast tag.
"You have a way?"
Ye Chen looked over.
"Yeah!"
Murong Qingcheng nodded, then grabbed Ye Chen's hand and held it tightly.
Boom!
The black bat wings on Murong Qingcheng's back started to flap violently. At the same time, a shockingly powerful demon power spread out, blowing away all the air in the sky. This demon power was way beyond the Sea of Souls Realm, and seemed to be at the Life and Death Realm.
"Demon power essence!"
Ye Chen immediately realized that this demon power vibration belonged to that Ancient Demon King's demon power essence. It seemed like Murong Qingcheng had not refined all of it, only a part of it. But then again, it made sense. The demon power essence of the Ancient Demon King was extremely powerful, and with Murong Qingcheng's cultivation, she would not be able to refine it all.
"Eh?"
The barbarian, who was not far away from the two, looked shocked. He could feel that this vibration was a huge threat to him.
"Huh! There must be something strange going on! But, it is not enough to scare me." The barbarian reached out his palm and performed his Barbarian King Palm Print again.
This time, the Barbarian King Palm Print missed its target, because Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen disappeared from where they were standing like shadows. Within a blink of an eye, they were already hundreds of miles away. Then, they flashed again, and even his soul power could not sense them anymore.
"How is this possible? This speed has almost reached the limit of the space!"
The barbarian's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.
The space of this true spirit continent had a limit. Once one's speed reached a certain level, it would not be able to increase anymore. But of course, it was not impossible, because once one's speed exceeded the limit of the space, one would be able to escape into the surreal space, where one's speed would not be restricted. It was also why Life and Death Realm warriors would travel in the surreal space, since it was not something they wanted to do.
"Never mind, there are no treasures in this poison mountain, only some poisonous plants. Even if I lose some of the important ones, it will not hurt me at all."
Shaking his head, the barbarian flew back the way he came.
Five hundred miles away …
A huge black light poured out, and Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng jumped out.
Murong Qingcheng's face was very pale. With her power right now, she still could not control the demon power essence. Even using a bit of it would be a huge burden.
