After listening to Shu Chan's words, Long Yu finally understood the origin of Asura Prefecture. However, even after saying so much, she still didn't tell him about Death Valley.
Fortunately, Shu Chan didn't forget to introduce Death Valley. She continued, "Similar to Asura Abyss, Death Valley is filled with the power of Divine Runes of Death. If ordinary martial cultivators step into it, they will be constantly eroded by the power of Divine Runes of Death and eventually die. Since ancient times, it is said that very few people who entered Death Valley could come out. Those who did all became Emperor Realm or even Emperor Realm experts … "
"Divine Runes of Death."
Hearing this, Long Yu's expression turned cold. This thing seemed to be very powerful. If it was like the Asura Abyss, where the divine runes of death were hidden, then this trip to Death Valley might have some unexpected harvests.
Unfortunately, Shu Chan didn't know much about Death Valley. The two could only go there first and see the situation before making a decision.
Under the state of Divine Concealment, the two quickly went from the edge of Nightmare Mountain Range to the center of the mountain range. The gloomy and ghostly aura belonging to the martial cultivators of Ghost Evil Prefecture became thicker and thicker, but it was all blocked by the power of Long Yu's Divine Runes of Nine Nether.
Fortunately, Shu Chan was quite familiar with this mountain range. Soon, the two were not far from Death Valley. However, the two faced a problem. Outside of Death Valley, there were many martial cultivators of Tianqin Dynasty and Ghost Evil Prefecture. They seemed to have united to prevent Huo Yuanbai, who had entered Death Valley, from leaving!
Long Yu and Shu Chan looked at each other and nodded.
Although Death Valley was extremely dangerous, the two had many tricks up their sleeves. They could still try to enter. After all, entering Death Valley wasn't a guaranteed death. Throughout history, there were many people who came out and eventually reached the pinnacle of Emperor Realm.
Outside of Death Valley, there was a dense forest everywhere. Many martial artists from the Tianqin Dynasty patrolled the area, and there were also martial artists from the Ghost Evil County hiding in the dark. They were like death gods in the shadows, watching and not letting anyone get close to Death Valley. They also did not let the martial artists in Death Valley leave even half a step.
Among the martial cultivators of the Tianqin Dynasty, the strongest was only at the Seven Daos Divinity realm. It seemed like the Tianqin Emperor didn't care much about Huo Yuanbai. Otherwise, he would have directly sent an Emperor Path Secret Realm expert, and Huo Yuanbai might not have had the chance to run into Death Valley.
I wonder how Huo Yuanbai is doing in Death Valley …
Long Yu and Shu Chan used the Divine Concealment technique and stealthily bypassed the many Tianqin Dynasty martial artists before stepping into Death Valley.
This was an extremely narrow entrance to a valley, or rather, the entrance to a cave. One could only step in from here, and it was impossible to fly in from the sky.
After entering the cave, a wave of death aura hit them in the face, causing Long Yu and Shu Chan to shiver. This was the power of the divine runes of death!
In Death Valley, the eerie ghost energy of the Ghost Evil County could not enter at all. Once it spread here, it would be dispersed by the power of the divine runes of death, unable to condense.
Death Valley and Asura Abyss were located in the original Ghost Evil County and Asura County respectively. They were not close to each other, but they were one of the two great danger zones in the Devil Nightmare Mountain Range.
First, they passed through a long and narrow cave that was dozens of miles away. In this distance, the two could feel the power of the divine runes of death becoming denser and denser, constantly corroding their bodies.
If they did not deal with the power of the divine runes of death that invaded their bodies, once they corroded their organs, there would be no hope of saving them.
But soon, Long Yu and Shu Chan found a solution.
Shu Chan relied on her tyrannical martial arts realm and the Asura divine runes to resist the divine runes of death. According to the rate at which the divine runes within her were being consumed, she could resist for at least four hours.
Now, she had many heaven-grade recovery pills on her, enough to increase this time to 24 hours. In other words, one day and one night!
As for Long Yu, it was even simpler. The Nine Nether Divine Runes had a natural restraining effect on the power of the divine runes of death. Long Yu had already formed the Nine Nether Tyrant Body, so the power of the divine runes of death was unable to invade his body. As for the surface of his body, he only needed to cover it with a small amount of Nine Nether Divine Runes to block the invasion of the divine runes of death.
In comparison, Long Yu did not need to take any pills to last longer than Shu Chan in Death Valley.
After passing through the dozens of mile long and narrow cave, the two finally entered an open valley. The divine runes of death spread throughout the valley like a gray fog.
What surprised Long Yu was that there were some plants growing on the ground, and they looked like medicinal herbs.
"It's actually the Flower of Death."
Shu Chan was shocked by these things.
"Flower of Death? What is that?"
Long Yu asked.
"The Flower of Death is an extremely rare medicinal herb. However, it doesn't have any effect on its own, and it is also extremely poisonous. Only the Fruit of Death that appears after the Flower of Death wilts is the best material to refine the antidote. "
Shu Chan explained, "Unfortunately, this patch of Flower of Death doesn't seem to have any signs of bearing fruit."
As the Asura Countess, her knowledge was naturally not something Long Yu could compare with. Now that she had recognized the poisonous Flower of Death, the two of them naturally had to take a detour.
The two of them could not feel the aura of any other martial cultivator. The aura of the divine runes of death was too strong, and it covered up all vitality.
In the entire Death Valley, besides the colorful Flower of Death, there were no other plants. The aura of the divine runes of death spread, and the entire world seemed to be dead.
Long Yu kept feeling the power of the divine runes of death in the valley, and he quickly discovered that the power of the divine runes of death seemed to have a source. It was constantly drifting and gathering from a direction.
He told this discovery to Shu Chan, and Shu Chan said, "Then let's go and take a look."
The two of them could still endure for a long time, so they were not afraid of the divine runes of death. They were just afraid that they would run into some unexpected danger.
Moving towards the source of the divine runes of death, the two of them quickly saw only the gray power of the divine runes of death. Even the Flower of Death couldn't grow here.
When they reached this place, the pressure on the two of them suddenly increased.
Originally, Shu Chan could resist the divine runes of death for two hours. Now, she was afraid that she could only resist for the time of a cup of tea. Moreover, the closer they got to the front, the thicker the divine runes of death became!
Suddenly, the two of them heard the roar of a wild beast. It came from the gray fog of death in front of them, and it was accompanied by the voices of many people. It seemed like a group of martial cultivators were being chased by a wild beast.
"It should be General Huo's people. Let's go take a look."
Long Yu and Shu Chan glanced at each other, then nodded their heads. With extreme speed, they rushed forward. Very quickly, in the distance, they saw a gigantic silhouette that was ten feet tall. It looked like an ape, and was currently roaring as it chased after the nearby Martial Cultivators.
The martial cultivators that were running away were the original members of Asura Province's Nightmare Legion. There were more than a hundred of them, but they were being chased by the black ape without any ability to resist.
"General Huo is there!"
Shu Chan's martial realm was higher, so her vision was clearer. She immediately saw Huo Yuanbai near the black ape.
Long Yu followed her gaze and finally saw Huo Yuanbai, dressed in white, standing not far from the black ape's feet. He was using all kinds of methods to resist the ape's attack.
Seeing Huo Yuanbai's sweaty face, it was obvious that he would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"Let's help."
Although Long Yu and Shu Chan did not know what was going on in the dojo, they had no choice but to help. They dashed out and attacked the black ape at an extremely fast speed.
The black ape seemed to be made of Divine Runes of Death. In terms of strength, it might not be as strong as Huo Yuanbai, a Seven Daos Divine Realm expert. However, the area covered by the Divine Runes of Death was the creature's natural cradle. If it fought here, its strength might be comparable to an Emperor Path Secret Realm expert!
"Eye of Asura!"
As soon as Shu Chan entered the dojo, she immediately used this Innate Divine Ability. A pitch-black eye appeared above her head and looked at the black ape in the dojo!
"It's the princess, the princess is here!"
As soon as she made her move, the martial cultivators of the Nightmare Legion immediately shouted. Their voices were filled with surprise. Obviously, they did not expect that the princess would come to help in such a desperate situation.
Although the princess's strength might not be comparable to General Huo Yuanbai's, Huo Yuanbai was already evenly matched with the black ape. With the addition of the princess, perhaps …
"This is the spirit of the Divine Runes, a spiritual creature formed by the Divine Runes. It's not wise to fight it in its territory. Let's lure it out of this area so that we can better deal with it."
Shu Chan said to Huo Yuanbai as she made her move.
Huo Yuanbai was in an extremely sorry state. He rolled backwards to avoid the black ape's attack and nodded. "I know it's the spirit of the divine runes, but it won't leave this area. It's too difficult to lure it out."
"General Huo, what exactly happened here?"
Shu Chan continued to ask.
With the appearance of the Eye of Asura, the black ape seemed to focus all its attention on the Eye of Asura. It roared angrily and attacked the Eye of Asura, giving Huo Yuanbai some time to catch his breath.
"The Tianqin Dynasty has occupied Asura Prefecture, and our Nightmare Legion has been forced to surrender to the Tianqin Dynasty. However, this old man was unwilling to surrender, so I escaped into Death Valley with my brothers …"
Huo Yuanbai laughed bitterly. "We've been in Death Valley for a few days. Of the thousands of brothers I brought in, only less than a hundred are left. The rest have all been corroded by the Divine Runes of Death. Sitting and waiting for death is not our style, so we wanted to venture deeper to see what's inside. It was also at this time that we encountered the spiritual creature formed by the Divine Runes of Death. "
The Death Ape was completely formed by the power of the Divine Runes of Death. It did not have a martial realm, but in Death Valley where the Divine Runes of Death spread, it could display strength that surpassed the Emperor Path Secret Realm. This was also the reason why Huo Yuanbai and the others could not fight back despite being chased.
In the next moment, Long Yu also joined the battle.
