Book 25, Novessence Thunder, Chapter 31 – Grove of Monoliths

Ji Ning led Su Youji forward, using his attuneo

The bugbeast had already coh beasts were both powerful and rather clever Since this one knew that Ning had a way to track it, for it to come to a halt could only mean that it had found a place it felt was very safe

Whoosh Whoosh

Ning and Su Youji flew past one mountain peak after another, shrouded by mist Every so often they could thread their way past forests or deep gorges They advanced with great caution and deliberation, and as a result spent nearly an hour before they reached their destination The bugbeasts had come to a halt, after all; it didn’ta bit slower than before

“It should be up ahead” Ning was standing atop a towering, jagged boulder as he mentally conversed with the fiery-robed Su Youji

“Let’s take it slow,” Ning sent mentally

He was the vanguard and Su Youji was the rearguard

The two began to move even more slowly than before Thanks to thewas only able to see to a distance of a few hundred kilometers As he slowly drew closer and closer to the destination, he could sense a terrifyingly powerful aura suddenly sweep towards the and Su Youji blanched at the power of this aura

“Where are we?” Suddenly, Ning saw so up ahead

A few hundred kiloiant hly three hundred meters tall and surrounded by mist

“The Grove of Monoliths?” Su Youji’s face tightened “Master, this seems to be the Grove of Monoliths”

“Let’sreplied His heart clenched as they slowly hly ten kilometers away from the first monolith and were able to see a second monolith of siround

This second ed beast that lay coiled atop it which eery

Ning frowned They continued to advance, keeping a careful distance from the creature One monolith after another entered their field of vision, each of which was roughly three hundred meters tall The round, and beasts that lay coiled on top of theic treasures and weapons which had auras of tremendous power Most of them were Dao-level weapons or treasures

“Master…” Su Youji grew increasingly nervous This was a terrifyingly dangerous part of the Fog Sea, the ‘Grove of Monoliths’

“Withdraw” Ning finally gave the other

The two carefully, quietly, and rapidly retreated fro to a halt after they entered a nearby copse of trees

“It actually went into hiding within the Grove of Monoliths” Ning frowned

“This is all the fault of World God Foxblaze and Chaos Immortal Foxbold They delayed us at a critical moment! Otherwise, we probably would’ve been able to catch up to that heavily injured bugbeast” The Flamefairy couldn’t help but feel quite upset by this She knew exactly how , and it now see would be unobtainable

Ning wasn’t in a very good ht now

He had felt rather exuberant after slaying World God Foxblaze and Chaos Immortal Foxbold, as this was the first time he had personally slain a World-level expert, and two of the now felt rather resentful at all this

“They ruined everything!” Ning gritted his teeth

“What should I do? What should an to ponder

The Ten Thousand Mountains was the outer region of this world

The Fog Sea was part of the inner region

The Fog Sea had erous areas within it, and the Grove of Monoliths was definitely ranked as one of the deadliest locations Based on the experiences of the ion that took up roughly ten thousand kiloion there were round

For sohly attracted to these beasts would often rest within the Grove of Monoliths, with dozens of thebeasts were World-level creatures Bugbeasts were fairly unintelligent and did not understand the mysteries of the Dao They had to rely on their physical strength and their innate gifts to fight, and so most of them only had the power of ordinary World Gods! A minority were comparable to elite World Gods and a tiny number of them were comparable to master-class World Gods

Alas, they did have one advantage: they existed in overwhele numbers The Grove of Monoliths often had around a hundred World-level bugbeasts within it at any given moment in time There were simply too many of them! If any cultivator dared to trespass within the Grove, that cultivator would ibeast there! As beasts from other areas would also hurry to the Grove to reinforce their fellows, causing the situation to grow increasingly dangerous!

The Grove of Monoliths was definitely a place of incredible danger Only supreme World Gods would be able to survive in that place, but if they were unlucky enough to encounter particularly powerful bugbeasts they ht still perish!+
