The Land of Chaos was extremely vast, spanning over a million miles. It was filled with countless dangers and countless lives had been lost there since ancient times. However, the lessons learned through blood and tears were not without value. Today, the cultivation world of the Divine Central Continent had a general understanding of this vast and mysterious and chaotic land.
Roughly speaking, the Land of Chaos could be divided into three parts. From the northernmost boundary to the south, it extended for hundreds of thousands of miles to the great river 'Dragon River'. This was the outer boundary of the Land of Chaos. Beyond the Dragon River, one would continue for hundreds of thousands of miles to the south until they reached the unreachable great snowy mountain. This was the central part of the Land of Chaos. Further south was the core of the Land of Chaos, but it was also the most dangerous region. Countless dangerous places and terrifying creatures resided in this place known as the 'Abyss of Chaos', including the 'Spirit Shattering Sand Sea' that human cultivators feared.
Generally speaking, the deeper one ventured into the Land of Chaos, the more chaotic the five elements would be, and the more dangerous the various dangers would be. Even though there was no publicly acknowledged boundary, there was a kind of secret consensus in the cultivation world of the Central Plains. That was, most of the cultivators who came to the Land of Chaos were only active in the outer boundary of the Land of Chaos. As for the wider central region, the degree of danger there was such that only cultivators at the Jin Dan stage or above were qualified to go there.
As for the core of the Land of Chaos, the Abyss of Chaos was so dangerous that it was said that even Spiritual Master Yuanying did not dare to set foot there. It could be said to be the most dangerous place in the world.
The Black Armor Mountain that Lu Chen was leading Han Nanzu and the others to was only near the border of the Land of Chaos. It was only a few hundred miles deep into the Land of Chaos. In a place like this, the spiritual energy of the five elements in the Land of Chaos was not very chaotic. For most human cultivators who came here, they would at most feel a slight obstruction in the circulation of their spiritual energy. Apart from that, they were almost negligible.
Along the way, Lu Chen and Han Nanzu were fine, but He Gang and Yi Xin were on high alert. They kept a close eye on their surroundings, afraid that some ferocious and powerful demon beast would jump out of the bushes and bushes beside them if they were not careful.
However, as the sky darkened, they had covered about half the distance. In the end, apart from a wandering lynx demon beast, they encountered no other dangers.
Even that lynx, which did not seem to be a powerful demon beast, was cut in half by He Gang's sword.
In the evening, Lu Chen brought them to the foot of a mountain. After turning left and right, they found a large boulder and circled around it. To their surprise, a dry cave was revealed. He turned around and smiled at Han Nanzu and the others, saying, "Let's sleep here tonight."
After entering the cave to tidy up and settle down, Yi Xin, who had been on high alert for the entire day, felt as though she had used all her strength to strike empty air. She couldn't help but ask Han Nanzu, "Senior Uncle Han, didn't they say that the Disorienting Lands is filled with demonic beasts, poisonous creatures, and all kinds of unimaginable dangers? Why haven't we encountered anything on our way here? I don't think it's any different from outside the Disorienting Lands. "
Han Nanzu glared at her and snappily said, "You've never seen the world, don't talk nonsense." After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Chen and said seriously, "I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so familiar with the terrain of this area. If it's still the same tomorrow, let alone finding the Dusk Mist Flower, just the fact that you've brought us along this part of the road is worth the price."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You flatter me."
At this moment, He Gang, who was sitting to the side, showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. He seemed to want to say something but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Lu Chen saw He Gang's expression from the corner of his eye but he didn't take it to heart. He only smiled and said, "In the Disorienting Lands, it has always been more dangerous at night. Even this area near the edge of the Disorienting Lands is much more dangerous at night than during the day. However, this place is very safe and there aren't any powerful demonic beasts nearby. After resting here for the night, we'll continue our journey tomorrow. "
Han Nanzu nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
… …
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. Darkness pervaded the outside but this night, there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky. The cold moonlight spilled over the mountains and fields.
The night wind blew gently, rustling the branches of the trees. There was also the sound of insects chirping. No one knew where it came from but it was intermittent.
In the cave, the two youths were already asleep. Lu Chen leaned against the wall, his gaze falling on Han Nanzu. He saw that Han Nanzu's eyes were closed but both his hands were placed on the sheath of his sword. It seemed that if there was even the slightest sound, he would immediately wake up and draw his sword to meet the enemy.
Lu Chen glanced at the sheathed sword and then closed his eyes as well.
At this moment, the chirping of the insects outside the cave suddenly quieted down. A gust of cold night wind blew past, bringing with it a slight chill.
Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
In order to avoid attracting demonic beasts, there was no fire in the cave so most of the place was dark. However, in the shadows, Lu Chen's eyes seemed especially bright.
The wind outside the cave was faintly blowing and there seemed to be some strange noises coming from the depths of the forest in the distance. However, it could not be heard clearly, or perhaps it was just an illusion of the dead of night.
However, Lu Chen quietly stood up and the shadows around him flowed like water. Almost in an instant, they blended into one with him and even his shadow disappeared, becoming a part of the darkness.
He followed the shadows and walked out of the cave without a sound. In the cave, Han Nanzu was still sleeping with his eyes closed. He Gang and Yi Xin were completely unaware.
The moonlight was cold and after being blocked by the nearby trees, a beam of light fell on the side of the cave. Lu Chen stood at the entrance of the cave for a moment. His gaze was calm as he slowly looked around. Finally, his gaze fell on the southwest direction.
There was a forest over there. In the darkness of the night, the trees were like tall guards and the thick shadows were like cold and gloomy ghosts, appearing somewhat gloomy and terrifying.
Lu Chen did not hesitate too much and directly walked into the forest. The darkness wrapped around him, as if he had instantly blended into the gloomy forest. It was as if he was born to belong to the darkness and the shadows were innate.
The forest was silent, but as he gradually went deeper, the darkness fluctuated and suddenly there was a roar. The surrounding darkness suddenly trembled violently and a huge figure instantly rushed out from the darkness, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
The roar tore apart the silence of the entire forest. It was as if all the darkness had suddenly tightened in an instant and a fierce wind suddenly rushed over. In the darkness, the dense stench of fangs emitted a palpitating light. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of him and a huge sharp claw slashed down!
"Roar!"
That was a bloodthirsty roar. In the midst of the crazy roar, Lu Chen did not dodge. Only his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Ding …" Suddenly, a crisp sound suddenly sounded. Although soft, it was loud and clear, instantly suppressing all the roars and roars. A sword light rushed out from the depths of the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the light was dazzling, like the bright moon in the night sky had fallen into the human world, blooming with a dazzling brilliance that could not be looked at directly.
The sword light was like water, its momentum like a flood, piercing the darkness and cutting open the shadows.
The huge figure roared and turned back, but suddenly became silent.
Then, the darkness was split into two halves by this sword light!
The smell of blood instantly filled the air. In the darkness, there was a rain of blood. Everything seemed to have stopped in an instant. Only that stunning and cold sword light was still moving forward in the darkness, piercing through the shadows. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Lu Chen.
It was unstoppable and did not seem to stop.
