Unrivaled Medicine God, page 616
“Big Brother, this god-forbidden region is so large. Where do we go to find the Kunwu Divine Wood? Furthermore, we have never seen the Kunwu Divine Wood before as well!” White Light suddenly thought of a very serious problem and asked.
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, “Keep going forward and see fate! Heaven will always leave a door open!”
“Mm? Big Brother, something seems to be off! We … seem to have entered some incredible place!” White Light suddenly said.
Chapter 1258. Death Marsh |
In front of them was a marshland that stretched as far as the eye could see. The surroundings were deathly silent.
It was truly a profound silence that prevailed over all. It was as if all sounds were swallowed up.
This kind of serenity made people uneasy.
Just now, White Light fled without choosing any path and did not see the road ahead clearly at all. Unknowingly, they already entered deep into this black marshland!
Swoosh!
Ye Yuan’s figure emerged and swept a glance around the surrounding situation, his expression becoming very ugly.
“Big Brother, this place isn’t right! How about we return the way we came?” White Light swallowed his saliva and said.
White Light felt ill at ease. Even with his strength, he felt a sense of danger. This swamp was absolutely not ordinary.
Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, “Can’t go back anymore! Didn’t you realize that this marshland disrupted the space, and it’s already impossible to determine the north and south? Turning back, we’ll definitely won’t be walking the path that we came from!”
White Light was alarmed and could not help perceiving it carefully and discovered that it was indeed just as Ye Yuan said, he already could not differentiate north, south, east, or west anymore.
“Big Brother, this …” White Light said rather panicky.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s heart stirred, and he let Shi Potian out.
“Master!” Shi Potian said respectfully.
“Do you know what place this is?” Ye Yuan asked.
“If I didn’t guess wrongly, this place should be the Death Marsh of the legends!” Shi Potian said.
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he said in shock, “You’re saying that this place is the graveyard of deity realms known as the Death Marsh?”
Shi Potian said in surprise, “Turns out that Master has also heard of the Death Marsh. That’s right, the Death Marsh is indeed known as the graveyard of deity realms. It has swallowed up god knows how many Deity Realm powerhouses’ life before!”
White Light was horrified and said, “That dangerous? Then aren’t we dead for sure? Just what’s in here, for Deity Realm powerhouses to actually not be a match either?”
Shi Potian said, “What’s inside the Death Marsh, nobody knows. Because those who have barged inside are all dead! But I heard that the Death Marsh’s ruler is the legendary Deathsoul Tree!”
“Deathsoul Tree! There’s really such a thing in the world?” Ye Yuan said in surprise.
White Light had a blank look as he said, “What are you all talking about? What on earth is a Deathsoul Tree?”
Ye Yuan’s expression became very ugly, and he said grimly, “I’ve once seen before sporadic records in ancient classics, this Deathsoul Tree is the same as the Kunwu Divine Wood, both being legendary existences! Legends have it that in a distant era, an earth-shaking powerhouse died harboring resentment. When he died, the resentment surged to the sky, condensing and didn’t dissipate, finally turning into a Deathsoul Tree! After the Deathsoul Tree was born, it would always show up in various places of the Divine Realm bizarrely and randomly, devouring the life of powerhouses, becoming stronger and stronger, and killed all of its enemies! Legends say that regardless of how powerful the martial artist, as long as they enter inside the 100 thousand feet radius of the Deathsoul Tree, they would have their divine souls taken away, without the slightest margin to retaliate!”
White Light said in shock, “This … This is also too ridiculous, right? The divine soul of Deity Realm powerhouses, it takes away as it pleases?”
But Shi Potian said, “What master said is right, the Deathsoul Tree is even more powerful than you imagine! It might have … already surpassed Deity Realm!”
Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to the pair, “You guys help to guard me. Wait for me to recover my strength, then we’ll move out! En? Be careful!”
The consumption of using the Voice of the Dragon God was huge. He still wanted to recuperate for a while, but this Death Marsh did not seem to want to give him this chance.
Gurgle …
Inside the marsh, air bubbles rose up in the black waters, breaking the tranquility of this Death Marsh.
Ye Yuan stared at the marshland with an ugly expression, wondering what kind of thing would be inside.
Swoosh!
A gray-brown shadow rushed out of the marshland all at once, speeding toward Ye Yuan.
This was an enormous crocodile!
That crocodile opened his gaping maws and chomped down at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan’s face fell, the Domain of Sword and Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art were unleashed at the same time!
Bang!
With a loud bang, the crocodile seemed to have hit an iron plate and fell weakly into the swamp.
Seeing this scene, White Light could not help laughing and said, “Hahaha, this dumbass, to actually dare bite Big Brother. Doesn’t it know that what Big Brother cultivates is related to tortoise shell?”
However, White Light discovered that only he alone was laughing.
Ye Yuan’s expression was incomparably solemn as he said, “This is a Blackwater Giant Crocodile! What powerful strength! The power of that attack earlier was likely not beneath the human race’s Ten Great Divine Kings!”
White Light was somewhat uncertain what it meant and said, “Just an ordinary Ten Great Divine Kings, what doesn’t it count for to us?”
“One naturally doesn’t mean anything. But if it was several thousands or tens of thousands?” Ye Yuan said solemnly.
As if affirming Ye Yuan’s words, this black water swamp started seething all at once.
Gurgle …
Seeing this scene, White Light’s expression changed drastically.
The scene in the next moment made the three people’s scalp tingle!
Countless Blackwater Giant Crocodiles emerged from the marshland. As long as the eye could see, it was full of crocodiles!
This number was probably no less than several tens of thousands!
One already had the strength of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Several tens of thousands added together, even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, he was not a match either!
“These guys are not easy to deal with! Go!” Ye Yuan said in a low voice.
The three people did not hesitate in the slightest and instantly scampered off!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
How could the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles give them a chance? For a moment, countless figures scurried after.
Ye Yuan flipped his hand, and a Fury Sword Fire Lotus instantly burst forth.
Boom!
A terrifying energy exploded, directly carving out a bloody path.
However, what took the three people by surprise was that Ye Yuan’s Fury Sword Fire Lotus merely just shook away these Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.
It actually did not kill them!
With Ye Yuan’s present strength, killing Ten Great Divine Kings-class powerhouses was not difficult.
But this attack actually did not succeed!
“These guys have such a powerful defensive capability! Head over there! The Blackwater Giant Crocodiles there are fewer!” Ye Yuan shouted.
The Blackwater Giant Crocodiles launched attacks at the three people continuously. The three people did not dare to slight it either and unleashed all of their ability, driving away those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.
“Monumental Sword!”
Ye Yuan’s physical exertion was immense. Currently, he could only use essence energy martial techniques too.
He did not dare to hold back in the slightest. The moment he made his move, it was the Monumental Sword.
A terrifying sword intent wreaked havoc, finally splitting those thick-fleshed Blackwater Giant Crocodiles into pieces.
They headed for this relatively lesser area right from the start. This sword finally slaughtered out a bloody path, breaking out of the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles’ encirclement.
The three people’s figures swept past hastily, how could they dare to remain in the least bit?
Ye Yuan’s physical strength had yet to recover. His essence energy consumption was also huge. He was completely unable to carry on fighting.
No idea how long they were running away, finally, there were no more traces of Blackwater Giant Crocodiles behind them before the three people stopped.
White Light’s expression was ashen pale as he said, “That Blackwater Giant Crocodile army can even destroy the Divine Realm if it’s brought outside! I really have no idea just what kind of place this Godsfall Mountain Range is, to actually be able to produce so many existences rivaling the Ten Great Divine Kings!”
Before he could respond, Ye Yuan’s expression suddenly changed. A feeling of danger welled up in the heart once more!
Chapter 1259. Deathsoul Tree |
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
Several black streaks ambushed Ye Yuan trio at a strange angle.
Shi Potian’s iron fist swung, the power of laws spreading out imposingly. He directly blasted those few black streaks to dust.
But in the next instant, even more black streaks flew over.
The three people focused their eyes and looked over. They could not help feeling their scalps tingle.
What entered their eyes was all densely packed little black snakes!
Although these little snakes’ strength could not compare to those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles, they were superior in numbers.
“It’s Steel Wire Black Snakes! There are probably millions of them! This place isn’t suitable to stay for long, break out of the encirclement in that direction!” Ye Yuan said solemnly.
Steel Wire Black Snakes’ strength was slightly weaker, but that was just in comparison with Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.
The difference in numbers was plenty to compensate for the deficiency in this bit of strength.
In contrast, these few million Steel Wire Black Snakes were even more terrifying than those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.
How could Ye Yuan and the others still dare to remain? They desperately broke out of the encirclement in one direction.
Fortunately, Shi Potian’s strength was powerful enough. Charging along the way, those Steel Wire Black Snakes were unable to approach at all.
Only after expending a Herculean effort did the three people slaughter their way out of the heavy encirclement of the Steel Wire Black Snakes.
Sprinting madly along the way, the three people were chased by the Steel Wire Black Snakes for goodness knows how long before they gradually retreated.
“No wonder this place is known as the Death Marsh! How can there be so many horrifying things existing?” White Light said with a look of lingering fear.
Shi Potian said, “Blackwater Giant Crocodiles and Steel Wire Black Snakes are probably the lowest rank existences in this Death Marsh.”
White Light could not help being greatly astonishment when he heard that and said, “No wonder this place is known as the god-forbidden region, it truly lives up to its reputation! Even such terrifying existences are only the lowest rank?”
It was not up to White Light to not be surprised. If the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles and Steel Wire Black Snakes ran to the Divine Realm, they would absolutely be existences that could sweep away everything.
It was also that the three people’s strengths were extremely formidable, even stronger than Deity Realm powerhouses whose realms were suppressed, that they could charge out of the encirclement.
Otherwise, even if the Ten Great Divine Kings’ top five came in, it was also certain death.
But this level of existence was actually merely just a low-level existence!
The three people were currently bewildered and doubtful when alarm bells sounded again!
White Light could not resist letting loose a torrent of abuse, “Are we done here or not?!”
Ye Yuan’s brows knitted even tighter. The one who took action along the way was mostly Shi Potian.
He was making the best use of time to recover his strength!
This time, what surrounded them was a bunch of black rates. The numbers were even more exceedingly terrifying.
The three people expended a considerable effort, slaughtering out of the heavy encirclement once more.
“Everybody, be careful! I feel like there seems to be someone controlling these desolate beasts. They … seem to currently be driving us to a certain place.” Ye Yuan suddenly said in a low voice.
Starting from the second wave, Ye Yuan already had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Those desolate beasts seemed to be deliberately leaving a gap so that they could escape.
Once, twice, the third time, each time it was like this. This made Ye Yuan’s suspicions even greater.
Even though their strength was very formidable and slaughtering out of the heavy encirclement was a matter of course.
But those desolate beasts did not really engage in a life-and-death struggle with them.
Several times of encirclements all seemed to be guiding them towards a certain direction.
White Light was alarmed when he heard and said, “No way, right? Who has this strength to be able to manipulate so many horrifying desolate beast hordes?”
Ye Yuan’s expression was very much, but he did not answer.
White Light suddenly thought of something and used a consulting gaze to look over toward Ye Yuan, saying in shock and confusion, “Could it be …”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “Apart from the Deathsoul tree, it seems like there are no other possibilities!”
White Light’s expression became pale as a sheet. Even though he was very confident, facing this kind of existence that even Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to resist, his heart was racing too.
Walking all this way, White Light already grew into a true powerhouse who could take charge at one of the fronts.
But the Deathsoul Tree was different!
Perhaps, it was an existence that surpassed the Deity Realm!
Just how strong the Deathsoul Tree was, what kind of means it had, they were completely clueless.
What they knew was that the Deathsoul Tree was not what they were capable of contending with.
“This … What to do here? We didn’t encounter the Kunwu Divine Wood but ran into a Deathsoul Tree. This … This is also too unlucky, right?” White Light said with a bitter smile.
“Heh, even if we ran into the Kunwu Divine Wood, it might not be much better than the current situation either,” Ye Yuan said.
“Then … Then what should we do now?” White Light said.
A glimmer of seriousness flashed across Ye Yuan’s eyes, and he said, “These dangers are originally things that were within expectations! Didn’t we mentally prepare ourselves for this trip? The god-forbidden region is a region that even Deity Realm powerhouses are unable to cross!”
White Light’s entire body trembled, his emotion stabilized considerably by Ye Yuan’s one sentence. Gritting his teeth, he said, “What Big Brother says is right! Hehe, in this world, is there still a place that can stump the two of us brothers? Even if it’s a blade mountain and sea of fire, White Light will accompany Big Brother and make this trip! What do you say, Big Brother?”
Ye Yuan also towered with heroism as he said, “Haha, my good brother! Now that it came to this, we might as well push the boat along the current! Doesn’t he want to meet us? Then let us go and take a look at … just how strong this legendary Deathsoul Tree is!”
“Hahaha, Big Brother, with you saying this, I became really interested!” White Light said with a hearty laugh.
It was not that Ye Yuan did not wish to leave, but he knew that once they did not follow the established route, those desolate beasts would definitely launch attacks at the three of them like crazy!
With these desolate beasts’ strength and numbers, no matter how strong the three of them were, they would be exhausted to death too.
Even if they really killed all of these desolate beasts, whether or not they could escape was still another matter altogether.
Since that was the case, they might as well preserve their strength and meet with the perpetrator.
Shi Potian still had an indifferent appearance. But the slight undulations emitting off his body revealed a tiny hint of change in countenance.
These brothers kept a straight face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them. This bearing was indeed worthy of being the World Suppressing Stele’s successor!
Since the goal was set, the three people fought all the way. Experiencing several twists and turns again, they came to a stretch of an open field.
This wilderness was no longer a marshland but a stretch of black-color land.
On this open field, not a blade of grass grew, looking just like a piece of scorched earth.
Looking over, this wilderness no longer had anything on it. There was just a lone big tree.
The large tree was pitch-black throughout and did not even have a blade of leaf on the branches, being stark-naked.
On the treetop stood three black crows, currently crying out in lament, as if urging people.
Crows were inauspicious things. Its appearance tended to accompany death!
Seeing this large black tree, Ye Yuan’s face involuntarily fell.
“Could this be the legendary Deathsoul Tree? It looks like … there doesn’t seem to be anything special,” White Light suddenly said.
“The more unremarkable the place is, the more dangerous! See those three crows? If my conjectures are right, those three crows should be representing us! The Deathsoul Tree is telling us that today, the three of us will be losing our lives here!” Ye Yuan said solemnly.
