Chapter 94: The Illusory Realm of No Life
"Found it?" The Iron-Faced Blood God sat on his iron chair, asking in a low voice. A man knelt on the ground before him. "Yes, master, we've confirmed their direction, but...their target appears to be the Forgotten Swamp."
Iron-faced Blood God was taken aback "Forget the swamp! Are you certain?"
"Yes, very definitely."
Without making a sound, the iron-faced Blood God pondered, "The Forgotten Swamp? Her goal is actually there? But why? Even if she wants to avoid the demon's attack, she doesn't need to go in that direction. The terror of the Forgotten Swamp is indescribable, although it's nothing for me, but even we would hesitate to enter. Is her goal something else? Or does she plan to die together with the demons in the Forgotten Swamp if they discover her?"
Seeing the master still silent, the man on the ground spoke again "Master, there's one more thing."
"Hmm, let's hear it." The Iron-Faced Blood God recalled his thoughts and spoke.
"We've discovered three other teams also tracking the target, one of which is the Golden Body Clan." The man reported what they had learned.
"Golden Body Technique? Is even Kinma Tensei interested in that thing? But it's normal, and then there's that? It should be the Demon Clan, right?"
"Yes, when we discovered the Golden Body Cult, we also found that the Demon Clan's Demon Eye and a few low-level demons were searching for targets as well. However, I didn't dare to startle the snake in the grass, so I didn't attack."
Iron-faced Blood God nodded "Very normal, those teams should also find your traces, but now the main target has not appeared, and taking action at will can only bring trouble. This point is clear to everyone, what else? You mentioned three teams earlier, who is the other one?"
It is...
The Iron-Faced Blood God's expression changed in an instant, and he stood up immediately. A powerful aura of intimidation appeared throughout the entire area. "What did you say?! The last team is actually 'his'?!"
"Yes, I'm sure I didn't missee it, it was indeed his troops."
He fell silent for a moment, "I understand, you can go." After the man left, Tie Mian Xue Shen suddenly turned around, looking out the window. "Even you have taken action, is that magic core really so attractive?" At this moment, Tie Mian Xue Shen seemed to be unable to control himself, his entire body's Dou Qi began to twist irregularly, and his hands clenched and unclenched repeatedly. After a long time, Tie Mian Xue Shen let out a long breath, as if he had finally calmed down.
"After hiding for seven years, your appearance now represents what, huh? However, it seems like there's a new change about to begin. Alright, this time I won't let you escape."
Who exactly is he? To actually make the Iron-Faced Blood God so excited? In any case, the Iron-Faced Blood God's plan to head out to the Forgotten Swamp has already caused the greatest change in Garo and their actions.
At this time, another team also set out from Yatmingkas, and the leader was actually Jinmotian himself! Iron-faced Blood God, proud of the Golden God, Demon Clan, plus that team that would make the Iron-faced Blood God excited, for a moment, forgot the swamp change's indescribable liveliness.
"We've been walking for three days, and our food and water have already been halved. If we continue like this, it won't be okay." Bai Ke also felt troubled now. Although the past few days had been calm, there was always an abnormal pressure looming over them, and the road ahead became increasingly difficult to walk, with their speed slowing down day by day.
Karlo added some firewood to the bonfire. "Hmm, I feel it too, like something is watching us all the time. This feeling of being watched is so strong, it's really uncomfortable."
"What could it be? Something that can exert such enormous pressure, how is it possible that we can't find it?" Shula and the others also felt it, but they seemed to be getting annoyed.
Bai Ke fell silent for a moment before suddenly speaking up, "There's one more thing I need to tell you all. My current strength has decreased significantly, at the very least, it's like this now."
"Going down?"
"Hmm." Bai Ke nodded "Most of my power comes from the energy of the dead, but this place is special, there isn't even a hint of undead aura."
"What does it mean?" Gallo suddenly felt something was wrong.
"I had forgotten that the swamp should have countless lives entering this forbidden land, but I feel that on our journey so far, there hasn't been a single corpse or dead body, it's completely an empty feeling. So my strongest undead summoning has no effect here, because there is no medium, I can only use some other powers."
"Is there no living thing?!"" Garro suddenly exclaimed "I understand, we've fallen into a trap! This is not a real environment, but an illusion!"
"What?!"
"I felt something was off from the start, it's too quiet here, an unnatural kind of quiet, no life, no breath, no living things, nothing exists at all. This place is absolutely not normal! It's just a region where illusions are born!"
Meng Yu was puzzled "Is it an illusion? Is it possible that it's so real? If it's really an illusion, how can you be sure of that?"
"It wasn't certain at first, but now I understand." Gallo shook his finger "Do you still remember the only living thing we saw back then?"
"You mean that monster?"
"That's right, it was him!" Gallo exclaimed. "We've only met that life form up to now, but you remember, what state was the creature in?"
"Pause for a moment, "No thinking, no thoughts, completely chaotic brainless state, that is to say, the monster was almost acting on a life instinct, so only in that state, hallucinations are ineffective. I dare to be sure, this is simply a huge illusion, from the beginning, it has confused our will and direction."
"What can be done about it?"
"Got it!" Gallo pulled Shana over and started whispering in her ear.
After a while, Shana changed from being puzzled at first to gradually understanding, and after thinking for a while, she nodded her head, indicating that she understood.
"Come on, everyone be careful."
Shana stood up, took a deep breath, and then fully mobilized the second layer of Tian Di Xiao Yao's ability to guard Qian Kun. The energy traveled throughout her body, then gathered together, and with a small opening, a clear whistling sound suddenly burst out!
The sound is like the phoenix's cry in the nine heavens, but it is also filled with overwhelming pressure! This voice seems to be able to shake the depths of human souls, and yet it seems to be able to make people eliminate the evil from their hearts.
Tian Fo Zhang, Fo Wen Jialan!
As Shana's voice sounded, space suddenly produced a tremendous fluctuation, this change made Meng stunned "There is actually still a spatial magic change!"
Gradually, space began to change, countless cracks surged into the sky, and when the cracks spread throughout the sky, a sudden explosion occurred!
After the crowd waited for the change to disappear, they slowly opened their eyes, and the environment had completely changed. The sky turned gray, and the ground became a solid black land. And just not far away, a huge castle appeared in front of them!
"Finally arrived here, the legendary city, Armenia..."
"It's really huge, I reckon it'll take some time to get past here." Kerna exclaimed "It's good to come out for a walk, otherwise how could we see such beautiful scenery?"
Everyone looked at Kerna's serious face with a mixture of laughter and tears, and this situation was also called a beautiful scene?
"Wait." Gallo stood up suddenly "Something's coming."
Appearing before everyone were three giant monsters, their entire bodies covered in armor, with a large knife in hand, but strangely, they all had no heads.
"Did he die unjustly?" Bai Ke furrowed his brow. "It seems that he was originally a sixth-level or higher warrior among humans, and because he died by beheading, his consciousness did not decrease after death, turning him into this killing machine."
"Three of them? Alright." Shula had been suffering for days and was now at the end of his tether, drawing his sword and charging towards the headless warrior.
"Wait! One at a time!" Shana and Kurena also rushed out together, and Shura said "I can handle it even without your help."
"Save our strength, who knows if there are any other monsters behind?"
"What do you think?" Bai Ke said in a low voice.
"This is just an advance party, they must be here to probe our strengths and weaknesses." Meng clearly saw through their intentions.
"Hmm, no mistake, so now it's really time to conserve physical strength, and these few monsters are completely not worth fighting."
Xu La made the first move, his long sword dancing in the air, Jiǔ Sǐ Bēi Jiàn (Nine Deaths Lament Sword), tears fell into the Yellow Springs!
Although the warrior's armor was solid, the sword forged by Gallo was also extremely sharp and easily cut out countless blood marks!
Shana's target had a massive two-handed sword in his hand, aiming at Shana with a powerful horizontal slash! Shana's forward charging speed was extremely fast, and for a moment, it was hard to dodge.
But all of a sudden, Shana swiftly lowered her body! She had already charged under the giant sword, and the fierce sword energy only managed to stir up her hair. At the same time, Shana swung her right hand, drawing out a huge arc, Heavenly Buddha Palm! Turning Dharma Wheel. Her right palm struck the opponent's waist, and the heavy palm force immediately sent them flying.
Shana sank her waist and stood with her feet shoulder-width apart, then suddenly flipped over and jumped up. Her palms poured out infinite palm force, fiercely imprinting themselves on the back of the retreating headless warrior!
Heavenly Buddha Palm, Heavenly Buddha Descends!
A monster who has already lost its life, how can it resist, and was beaten to the ground into countless fragments!
On the other hand, Kerna's two hands danced at the same time, and she made a move. Her right hand was poisonous, locking her opponent's entire body with a strong finger energy, making it difficult for even the strongest demons to break free from this toxic air, let alone Kerna, who had greatly increased in strength. Meanwhile, her left hand waved, stirring up wind and clouds!
Explosion, rotation, lightning, triple power burst simultaneously, even the strongest warrior can only become fragments.
The final battle also ended with Shura's one sword in the sunlit road, leaving only countless fragments on the ground.
"As expected, it's really weak." Mo shook her head "Alright, let's hurry up and go."
At this moment, under a giant tree in Armenia, a faint shadow was surrounded by countless roots. At the same time that three headless warriors died, two purple lights burst out violently! Unparalleled power erupted with the appearance of these two lights.
