Chapter 1133: Chapter 1152: Perilous Danger
This is an endless mountain range, entirely shrouded by a chaotic fog sea, and at this moment he is in a mountain forest, surrounded by various vegetation.
“Daoist Ye.”
The Yin Sea Saint King groped forward and finally reached Ye Xuan’s side.
“This chaotic fog sea is extremely peculiar, we cannot wander aimlessly; we must return to the mountain path.” Ye Xuan said deeply.
Soon, five people regrouped, and although the fog sea was thick around, they could vaguely see each other’s figures, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
“Had we known the Tianyuan Kingdom was so perilous, we should have withdrawn early.” Yin Sea Saint King said coldly.
“Stop wasting words. Now we are all trapped in the chaotic fog sea, what’s the use of saying this?” Dao Yun Saint King angrily rebuked.
“Dao Yun, you’ve obtained the most treasures, so of course, you don’t care.” Yin Sea Saint King, already dissatisfied with Dao Yun, scolded him angrily.
“Yin Sea, don’t be so shameless.” Dao Yun Saint King was already full of ire, shouting angrily at Yin Sea.
“Dao Yun, do you want to die?” Yin Sea Saint King glared angrily.
“Enough, at a time like this, why are you two arguing?” Jiuqu Old Mother frowned and reprimanded.
“Daoist Jiuqu is right, it’s not the time for internal strife now, finding a way out should be our priority.” Tailing Saint King said deeply.
“It’s easy for you to say, but now our cultivation cannot be invoked, we’re no different from common people, how can we find a way out?” Yin Sea Saint King said furiously.
“Fellow Daoists, rest assured. I am originally of the Nine Heavens Saint King Realm, though cultivation cannot be utilized, my Dharma Eye can still see the way. As long as you follow behind me, you will surely be able to get out of this chaotic fog sea.” Tailing Saint King said.
With Tailing Saint King’s words, the spirits of the three great Saint Kings lifted, their eyes shining brightly.
“Alright, if we can escape this peril, we certainly won’t forget Tailing Daoist’s great kindness.” Dao Yun Saint King hurriedly swore, patting his chest, echoing the sentiments of Yin Sea Saint King and Jiuqu Old Mother.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, though the fog was hazy around, he clearly saw Tailing Saint King’s expression, who was wearing a sinister smile, evidently indicating that things were not so simple.
“Go!”
Tailing Saint King spoke deeply, leading the way out of the mountain forest, while the three great Saint Kings quickly followed behind him, Ye Xuan also rose to go along.
Time passed quickly, and a year went by, yet the five had not walked out of the forest, seeing not even a shadow of the mountain path.
Meanwhile, over the year, the cultivation within the five was gradually weakening, as they could not supplement their spiritual energy in the chaotic fog sea, resulting in accelerated depletion.
Though this depletion wasn’t evident, as time passes, they would eventually perish in the chaotic fog sea.
Once the internal cultivation depletes, there’s no recovery, and they can’t utilize cultivation to open the Qiankun Bag for spirit stones to ingest spiritual energy; fearing that within ten thousand years, all will perish.
Ten years flew by.
The five seemed to be spinning in circles in the forest, unable to walk out of it.
“I won’t walk anymore, I won’t.” Yin Sea Saint King fell to the ground in despair, his eyes showing extreme hopelessness.
“Chaos fog sea, a place of great danger, we’ve been spinning in place, unable to escape.” Jiuqu Old Mother trembled and whispered.
“What now? What should we do now?” Dao Yun Saint King shouted in a trembling voice, extremely volatile under the invisible fear.
“Silence, do you want to attract the monster lurking in the chaotic fog sea?” Tailing Saint King coldly rebuked.
Roar!
Suddenly, the forest shook, a foul wind howled, accompanied by a beast’s roar; the forest swayed violently, and a strange whirlwind swept by, instantly giving a hair-raising sensation.
“Not good.” Tailing Saint King shouted in horror.
Woo!
The beast’s roar was deep, the void quivered, and a black light appeared fiercely in front of the five, accompanied by chilling howls.
“Ah, save me!”
Dao Yun Saint King let out a tragic scream, as he was brought by the black light into the fog sea, instantly vanishing before the five.
“No!”
A heart-rending scream from Dao Yun echoed from the depths of the chaotic fog sea, as though a terrifying creature was gnawing on Dao Yun Saint King, biting him bit by bit.
“Quick, leave!”
Tailing Saint King shouted in panic, intending to escape afar first.
Unfortunately, before everyone could flee, the black light struck again, this time targeting Yin Sea Saint King.
“Ah!”
“Daoist Ye, save me.”
Slash!
At the critical moment, one of Yin Sea Saint King’s arms was bitten off by the mysterious monster, and he could only cry out for Ye Xuan’s help, being the only one beside him.
Bang!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a strand of space-time power flashed through his eyes, his five fingers striking ferociously at the black shadow.
Grunt!
A cry of pain emanated from the monster’s mouth, and it suddenly retreated into the chaotic fog sea, with Yin Sea Saint King barely preserving his life, although he had lost one arm, with copious blood flowing from the wound.
“You can use cultivation?”
Tailing Saint King turned back in shock, staring at Ye Xuan with extreme astonishment, halting his escape.
“Though cultivation can’t be used, don’t forget my physical strength hasn’t been affected.” Ye Xuan said deeply.
“Thank you, Daoist, for saving my life.” Yin Sea Saint King’s face was pale, but he still repeatedly thanked Ye Xuan, believing he would have died like Dao Yun Saint King had Ye Xuan not struck the monster.
“The crisis isn’t over; I can feel the monster hasn’t left and is watching us from the shadows.” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, gazing into the depths of the chaotic fog sea, feeling a pair of fierce eyes staring at him.
Actually, while the chaotic fog sea was terrifying, it wasn’t a major issue for Ye Xuan. He could use the power of silence annihilation to break through a path, returning to the mountain path.
Yet Ye Xuan didn’t do so, as he suspected Tailing Saint King was being deceitful, wanting to see what he was planning.
Roar!
Suddenly, the beast’s roar sounded again, and a black light struck toward the four, revealing, within the black light, a creature with the head of a leopard and the body of a tiger.
“Careful.”
Yin Sea Saint King trembled and shouted, but this time the monster didn’t target him or Ye Xuan, instead appearing instantly before Jiuqu Old Mother.
“No!”
Jiuqu Old Mother screamed, then was quickly drawn into the depths of the fog sea, with an exceptionally high-pitched scream echoing therefrom.
“Run, Daoist Ye, quickly.” Yin Sea Saint King tightly followed Ye Xuan, trembling as he urged.
“Let’s hurry from this place.” Tailing Saint King shouted, then fled forward in large strides.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, striding to catch up with Tailing Saint King, while Yin Sea Saint King desperately followed Ye Xuan, the three quickly left this place.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan’s three were a thousand feet away, an extremely frightening scene occurred; the weeds on the ground emitted terrifying light, morphing into millions of sharp beams assaulting Ye Xuan.
Clang clang clang!
Ye Xuan’s physical body was flawless, though the beams struck, they only made metallic clanging sounds, causing no harm, while Yin Sea Saint King hid behind Ye Xuan, petrified.
But at this moment, Tailing Saint King vanished mysteriously, rendering Ye Xuan’s face grim as he scanned the environment, drawing a strange smile at his lips.
“Daoist Ye, what shall we do now?”
Yin Sea Saint King trembled, speaking as Tailing Saint King also vanished, evidently taken by the monster.
“Go back.”
Ye Xuan pondered, then turned to walk back, sparking Yin Sea Saint King’s shock, yet he hesitated but eventually followed Ye Xuan, unable to confront the horrifying monster alone.
