Inexplicable Formation
Just as they stepped out of the mountain, Long Chen and Yun Mei 'er's expressions changed drastically.
Flames shot up into the sky from all directions. As the old man ran away in a frenzy, the huge commotion attracted many of the Desolate God Tribe's members.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Long Chen's heart sank. He immediately carried Yun Mei 'er on his back and dashed out.
His speed was extremely fast, and there were flashes of spiritual light as he shouted.
However, Yun Mei 'er could also feel Long Chen's difficulty. In this Desolate Forbidden Zone, it was definitely not easy to mobilize spiritual energy.
She could even feel the sweat on Long Chen's back.
Huff, huff.
Long Chen's voice became coarser and coarser. He ran at his fastest speed for close to thirty breaths of time before he jumped onto the beast skin at the old man's waist.
"Hold him back. Right now, many of the Desolate God Tribe's members are rushing here. It's best to pray that he can take us out of this encirclement …" Long Chen looked around and saw the Desolate God Tribe's members waving giant torches that were hundreds of meters tall. It was a spectacular sight.
Yun Mei 'er nodded her head vigorously. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Yun Mei 'er was a merchant. She was also a merchant who grew up under the protection of others. She had never experienced real danger.
The most dangerous thing she had ever experienced was almost drowning in a lotus pond when she was three years old.
As for the most dangerous thing, it was probably being thrown into the sea by Long Chen …
She had never experienced such a life of fear and trepidation, filled with killing intent.
She didn't know why, but she felt both fear and excitement.
Just like that, the two of them clung tightly to the old man's huge beast hide clothes, feeling the recoil force that crushed the ground with every step they took.
After a full two hours, the two of them finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Because the flames behind them had gradually disappeared.
"Guests from afar, do you really want to see the Desolate God Tree in his city, the Ten Directions Celestial Domain?" The Savage Elder's voice seemed to have regained some clarity, but for some reason, his voice was filled with fear.
Long Chen and Yun Mei 'er looked at each other in confusion.
However, no matter what, the Spiritual Wood of Heaven and the Extreme Celestial Flower were items they were determined to obtain.
Long Chen said in a deep voice, "Senior, please tell us why we have to go …"
The Savage Elder stopped in his tracks. His huge palm was placed in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen and Yun Mei 'er didn't feel any hostility. They looked at each other and stepped into the huge palm.
The Savage Elder shook his head and sighed, as if he had thought of something extremely painful.
He raised Long Chen and Long Chen above his head, and then whispered a language that the two of them could not understand, as if he was praying.
"Follow the point where the ravine in my hand intersects with the stars. The end is where the Untamed Divine Tree is. Remember, you must not step beyond the Divine Tree. A single step will determine life and death."
Long Chen and Yun Mei 'er's eyes followed the lines that went deep into the ravine under their feet, and looked towards the horizon.
A river of stars flickered unceasingly, and coincidentally intersected with the lines on his hand.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" Long Chen jumped down with Yun Mei 'er and thanked him repeatedly.
The Savage Elder shook his head and only said in a low voice, "You must not step beyond the ten Untamed Divine Trees …"
After speaking, the Savage Elder unexpectedly walked back to the path that they came from, seemingly crying and laughing at the same time.
Yun Mei 'er and Long Chen carefully walked towards the direction that they had already determined. The surroundings seemed to be much quieter, and not even a single demonic beast appeared.
Yun Mei 'er seemed to feel that the silence was too stifling. She asked Long Chen, "What do you think is behind the ten Untamed Divine Trees?"
"The Untamed Divine Tree is also called the Spiritual Wood of Heaven. It is said that it is an item that supports the ten heavens. If that is true, then it should be a stretch of nothingness …"
Yun Mei 'er's words made Long Chen fall into deep thought. For a moment, he actually didn't know how to answer.
In his previous life, he didn't really go through the Untamed Forbidden Zone to see the ten Heavenly Trees!
But was there really only the void outside these ten heaven-supporting trees?
What was there outside the void?
Just like the ninth heaven outside the tenth heaven, and the eighth heaven outside the ninth heaven …
Then, were there other planes outside the ten heavens?
Just like the strange space above the Sword Pond, and the mysterious palace in the Untamed Forbidden Zone's passageway.
As Long Chen's strength increased, he felt that the palace was even more majestic. He was afraid that even a Heaven Reaching Realm ruler might not be able to create it.
Long Chen shook his head fiercely. His mind was in a mess for a moment.
Yun Mei 'er seemed to have noticed Long Chen's uneasiness. Just as she was about to comfort him, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"What is that?" Yun Mei 'er and Long Chen stopped at the same time.
Long Chen looked over and saw a black lightning-like creature moving back and forth in the air.
It was clearly a black lightning ball, but it had a pair of extremely terrifying mouthparts, which made one's hair stand on end.
After a short observation, Long Chen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It was one thing for these creatures to move through the air, but wherever they passed, the space would actually crack!
Those cracks were like thin blades as thin as cicada's wings. Once touched, one would definitely die without a burial place.
"We can't go any further. Since there are no Gods in this place, let's see if we can go around these strange creatures." Long Chen's tone was somewhat serious.
Yun Mei 'er looked at the strange creature's terrifying mouthparts and couldn't help but move closer to Long Chen.
The two of them were almost walking side by side, but they only stopped when the sun was high in the sky.
Long Chen and Yun Mei 'er's faces were somewhat ashen.
After so long, they still hadn't found a single gap.
In other words, if they wanted to get close to the Heavenly Spiritual Tree, they had to pass through the strange creature's encirclement.
Huh?
Just as Long Chen was at his wit's end, Yun Mei 'er raised her eyebrows, as if she had discovered something.
"Did you notice that there's a group of these creatures every hundred meters? They're organized, and they seem to be ignoring us … "
Long Chen was startled. He recalled the scene he saw along the way and immediately frowned. "You're saying that they're some kind of puppet creatures that only patrol back and forth along some kind of array path?"
Yun Mei 'er nodded. She very boldly picked up a withered tree branch from the ground, and then threw it at the strange creatures from afar.
Crackle.
The moment the branch fell, it was instantly crushed into powder, and then was swallowed by the huge mouthparts.
This scene made the two's eyes light up.
Just as Yun Mei 'er said, these creatures were more like some kind of puppet creatures that only attacked living things within the array.
"If it's an array, maybe we can pass through this place." Long Chen's eyes lit up.
