As the Universe Turns - Chapter 445
Chapter 445 Crossing Death Lands
Seeing that Xiao Chen’s expression was getting weaker and weaker, Luo Die quickly walked up to him, pulled his sleeve, and looked at Wuchang Daojun, “Daolord just said that the Terminator Domain has an ancient array that can be used for teleportation. If we find an ancient array, how long will it take for us to cross the Terminator Domain?”
Wuchang Daojun looked at her and said, “There is more than one ancient array. The more we find, the shorter it will take to cross the Terminator Domain. If we can find more than five ancient arrays, we can reach the Forbidden Domain in at most three months. Back then, we went to the Forbidden Domain through the five ancient arrays.”
“Thank you, Daolord.”
Luo Die nodded at him, then turned around and whispered to Xiao Chen, “Did you hear that? Daolord just said that as long as you find the ancient array, you will be able to quickly reach the forbidden zone. As for the Sea of Death, I think it was most likely the Underworld Fire Evil God who said it out loud that frightened people.”
“If you can’t bluff, you’ll know when the time comes.” The Underworld Fire Evil God sneered and simply sat down on a nearby rock. He closed his eyes and didn’t say anything else.
Ten days later, The group finally arrived at the Terminator Domain as fast as they could. This was a dead domain. Once they entered, they could immediately feel a deep aura of death. Even if they traveled ten thousand kilometers, they might not be able to see a single living creature. Some of them were only “dead creatures” left behind from ancient times. They had long since lost their lives and were “living” by relying on Gas of Gods and Demons here. It was extremely terrifying.
Looking around, one could only see broken ridges everywhere, and almost no complete mountain peak could be seen. Obviously, there had been a very tragic battle here before.
In the battles between gods and devils, cultivators in the mortal world were often the ones who suffered the most casualties. The dried-up rivers had now turned into valleys, and the bottom was purple and black. It was as if they had been dyed by something, because blood had once flowed into the rivers here.
Luo Die looked at the terrifying places below, her heart pounding. How many people had died here before? Only then did he gather such a heavy aura of death …
“Stop.”
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Wuchang Daojun stretched out his hand, causing Han Tiangu to suddenly stop the clouds. The lead clouds in front of him were heavy, emitting a very strange aura. At this moment, everyone’s faces gradually became serious.
The ghost Taoist turned around and looked at Wuchang Daojun, “Does Daolord remember that there is an ancient formation here?”
Wuchang Daojun stared at the lead cloud in front of him and thought for a long time before he said, “It should be under the lead cloud, but I’m afraid that there are’dead creatures’ nearby. Be careful …”
The dead creatures of the Terminator Realm were undoubtedly terrifying. Everyone didn’t dare to be careless, so they carefully controlled the clouds to fly into the lead cloud by Hantian Gu.
Inside the lead cloud, everyone’s line of sight gradually became blurry. The temperature was also getting lower and lower. There was a layer of cold ice crystals floating in the air. If a person with a slightly lower cultivation entered this place, they would freeze to death within a short period of time.
Luo Die curled up under a stone. Her entire body was already trembling from the cold, and her complexion was getting paler and paler. Xiao Chen placed his palm on her shoulder and circulated the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique, injecting a rich Nine Yang Force into her body. Only then did she feel slightly better.
After flying in the clouds for about half an hour, everyone’s line of sight finally became wider and wider. There was a black cloud in front of them. Under the black cloud, they could vaguely see five towering mountains. The five mountains formed a formation that looked peaceful and strange.
“That’s it.”
Wuchang Daojun’s expression became nervous. He recalled that back then, when they went to the Forbidden Area, this was where they had started. This was the first ancient formation they had found back then.
The Underworld Fire Evil God and Han Tiangu also stood up. Looking at the five faintly discernible peaks in front of them, their hearts weren’t completely unaffected.
“Be careful.”
Han Tiangu lowered his voice and carefully controlled the clouds and stones to fly towards the five mountain peaks. Slowly, he flew to the center of the five mountain peaks. Everyone immediately felt a faint trace of ancient array power.
It was unknown who had used what kind of heavenly means to move the five mountain peaks and set up the teleportation array here, but the array was still able to operate today.
When they arrived at the center of the formation, everyone looked at each other. Wuchang Daojun said with a serious expression, “The five mountain peaks represent metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only after every two of them pour profound energy into one mountain peak can they activate the formation. Remember that the five elements are mutually exclusive and cannot conflict with the profound energy of others.”
After the others heard this, they nodded their heads. There shouldn’t be any problem for the ten Soul Formation cultivators to activate the formation. Han Tiangu looked at Xiao Chen again with the same expression as before. After a while, he said, “The ten of us activate the formation. Little friend Wu Chen will be here to stabilize the clouds and stones later.”
“No problem.”
Xiao Chen walked towards the middle of the clouds and stones. Luo Die immediately followed behind him and said, “I’ll help you.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. After about half an incense stick, everyone was ready. Each two of them formed a team and simultaneously sent their profound strength towards the five mountain peaks. The strength of the ten Soul Formation cultivators was not equal. It immediately caused a drastic change in the wind and clouds, and the five mountain peaks were also violently shaken.
Yun Shi also emitted a violent shock. Xiao Chen pointed his fingers together, and an incomparable amount of profound energy spread out from beneath his feet, causing Yun Shi to stabilize.
The grand formation had not been activated for more than three hundred years, but it was still functioning. As the power of the ten Soul Formation cultivators continued to pour in, the five mountain peaks finally emitted a beam of light that soared into the sky at the same time.
Immediately after, there was a loud rumble. The clouds within a radius of ten kilometers were instantly shattered. A terrifying Formation Power gushed out, instantly turning the chaos outside the five mountain peaks into dust.
At the center of the formation, along with the twelve people on it, the cloud stone disappeared in an instant. When it appeared again, it was unknown how far it had teleported.
The ten Soul Formation cultivators’ faces turned pale. Wuchang Daojun calmed down and looked at the crowd, “Now go down and rest for a day. Once your cultivation recovers, you can go find the next ancient formation.”
Without much hesitation, everyone immediately rode on the clouds and stones and landed in the mountain ridge below. In the middle of the clouds and stones, Luo Die’s face turned pale. At that moment, it was as if she had entered a spatial crack. If something unexpected happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the second day, everyone continued to search for the next ancient formation. After three months, they had already found four ancient formations. Next, they only needed to find another ancient formation to reach the forbidden area. If they were to fly there by force, it would take at least three years.
Three days later, the group finally found the fifth ancient formation. However, within this ancient formation, nearly half of the two mountain peaks had collapsed. It seemed that they had suffered some kind of impact and had suffered some damage.
“What should we do?”
Everyone looked at the last ancient formation and frowned. There was no other ancient formation nearby. Even if there was, it was still teleported back. However, the ancient formation in front of them had already been damaged. If it was forcefully used, the consequences would be unimaginable if something unexpected happened.
