Chapter 1328

These trees truly reached the heavens . They were so huge that even the three-hundred-meter flying boat was like an insect flying past them .

The leaves of the trees completely covered the sky, making it so not even the slightest sunlight could reach them . That was why everything was black .

“d.a.m.n, they have to be over a hundred thousand meters tall! If I have a chance, I have to grab some and plant them in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . ” Long Chen’s heart pounded as he looked at these huge trees . He had an urge to dig up a few of them right now .

But these trees were sinister and frightening . They almost looked like fiends . Bursts of evil air came through the flying boat’s protections, turning Long Chen’s scalp numb .

“What kind of trees could be so terrifying?” whispered Long Chen . Right now, including Zhuo Tianxiang, all the flying boat’s experts had solemn expressions .

One of the elders who treated Long Chen well explained, “This forest you see is one of the famed seven great danger zones - the Heaven Devouring Forest . Each tree you see is a fiendish lifeform and incredibly dangerous . Although this is just the border, we still can’t be careless . If we provoke a terrifying existence we probably won’t be able to escape . ”

“Then why are we going through such a dangerous region? Why not go around?” Long Chen couldn’t help but ask .

“There are things you don’t know . After the Martial Heaven Continent went through the battle of the immortal era, it was fractured, and it left behind countless spatial abysses that cannot be crossed . If we want to return to Pill Valley, the closest path is through the edge of the Heaven Devouring Forest . Although it’s dangerous, it’s also the fastest way . If we go around, we’d have to go all the way across the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, and it would take at least two years . ” That expert kindly showed Long Chen a map .

It was an extremely detailed map of the Central Plains . The Central Plains were wrapped around by the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring in a very perfect circle .

At the center of the map was a square area marked as the Central Xuan Region . It was drawn with a specific color . It was like a huge copper coin with the Central Xuan Region being the center of it .

The Eastern Xuan Region, Western Xuan Region, Southern Xuan Region, and Northern Xuan Region were also of different colors .

This was Long Chen’s first time seeing such a detailed map . He couldn’t help being startled . The five regions were inconceivably evenly split . It was like someone had divided them up meticulously . Each of the four outer regions was the same size .

As for the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, it was a perfect ring of blue .

Then from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Central Xuan Region, Long Chen saw a black mark . That had to be the spatial abyss that the elder had mentioned .

Other than this black mark, there was a green mark as well . On it were the words Heaven Devouring Forest written in the deep red of old blood .

Before Long Chen could carefully look at the rest of the map, the flying boat shuddered as a thick vine suddenly bound them .

“d.a.m.nable headless creatures . We should have burned them to the ground!” cursed Zhuo Tianxiang .

That vine was several feet thick and was like a huge python that had caught its prey . It coiled around the flying boat tightly .

“Protector Zhuo, what do we do?” asked a Life Star expert .

“Ignore it . We’ll smash through it and continue forward . We don’t have time to waste,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .

Divine runes suddenly circulated around the flying boat, and a terrifying energy was unleashed, blowing apart the vine . Long Chen actually heard something akin to a startled cry .

“Increase the speed!” shouted Zhuo Tianxiang . The flying boat shot out like an arrow .

But in that instant, the entire forest went berserk . What shocked Long Chen was that these ancient trees suddenly seemed to come to life, and huge branches slammed at the flying boat .

At the same time, terrifying auras began to come from the trees . Those auras were similar to Magical Beasts, and they were not weaker than Soul Transformation experts .

Countless runes lit up on the flying boat as it charged through the ancient trees . Anything in their way was blown away .

Within the endless darkness, the flying boat continued to pierce through the forest . It was like an arrow piercing through tofu .

“Have these trees gained spirits? Why are they attacking?!” cried Long Chen .
