Chapter 347 – Swordback Tiger

While staring at the forest that will filled with the aura of death, Lei Yu felt slightly irritated. With the faint mist enshrouding this place, it had actually hidden this forest within the sea region.

Before entering, Lei Yu had to make some preparations that he couldn’t do without. He was holding onto a red ribbon while his Universal Pouch was to the right-side of his waist so that items can be taken out at the shortest amount of time. With the Sky Devouring Sword in his hand, “Can we go now?”

“Use your strongest attack to break apart the outer protective net for the forest!” Reminded the Devil King. Lei Yu condensed internal energy on his feet before flying towards this dangerous forest filled with unknowns.

In the air, the shadow of a person was seen holding a brightly lit sword. An extremely strong aura was fluctuating in the area that was filled with a terrifying amount of lightning. One could see this person clench his teeth before slashing down fiercely. A strong beam of purple energy that was similar to a purple dragon rushed towards the light brown outer protective net of the Forest of Fog.

“Bang!”

“Boom!”

After lightly breathing out, Lei Yu observed the scene become clearer as the barrier disappeared. The scene of dense populated trees appeared before him while there didn’t seem to be any other living beings in the area. There was only dead silence.

There were no sounds of insects and no sounds of birds chirping. Even the trees didn’t have any leaves on them making this place look like a bunch of dried up vertical corpses. This wasn’t strange because this forest had been constantly covered by the mist barrier so sunlight couldn’t enter. There’s no way these trees would be able to survive under those conditions.

Lei Yu then carefully descended to the outer periphery of this Forest of Fog and felt that the pressure here was even stronger. Lei Yu released his spiritual perception in hopes of finding the first barrier’s guardian – the Swordback Tiger.

The Devil King had already told Lei Yu about the powers of the Swordback Tiger. It was a beast at the late Fusion Soul stage and it was good at long-range attacks. Lei Yu still had to be careful because before he even reaches the Swordback Tiger, it may launch an attack from a long distance.

When Lei Yu reached the late Soul Splitting stage, the area of his spiritual perception was greater than before. Although this Forest of Fog took up a large area, Lei Yu’s spiritual perception was still able to encapsulate this entire first barrier region.

There was no other living beings in this area except for something on top of a thick tree, where Lei Yu was able to detect a living entity that was breathing. As he carefully got closer, he began to hide his own aura. To be honest, what Lei Yu was doing was unnecessary.

Breaking apart the protective barrier of this Forest of Fog had caused such a large commotion, so how could the Swordback Tiger not know? It of course knew but there was no need for it to reveal its presence yet. As long as it made sure the intruder couldn’t break the second protective barrier, then it would consider itself of fulfilling its duty. It was taking a nap while patiently waiting for Lei Yu’s arrival.

Lei Yu decided to walk instead of flying. The dried twigs underneath his feet were all making “cracking” noises as he stepped on them. With a light stomp, Lei Yu leapt up and landed on a sturdy looking tree. While holding onto the Sky Devouring Sword, he coldly stared at the living being that wasn’t too far away. Lei Yu didn’t bother to continue hiding because the huge being was already staring at him from a distance away. Most likely it had already detected Lei Yu a while back.
