Chapter 874 (2/2)

These records were also calculated based on lifespan, the same method that Lin Jing previously used when venturing into the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Previously inside the Barren Forbidden Zone, Lin Jing estimated that having spent just over three months there, upon checking the System panel, he discovered he had consumed ten years of his lifespan.

The ratio, when calculated, was roughly 1:40.

To stay one day in the Barren Forbidden Zone was actually equivalent to the loss of forty days of Lifespan.

And in the documented Jade Slip, Lin Jing saw a more detailed record.

The rate at which Samsara Holy Fruit devoured Vitality differed with distance; the closer one was to the fruit, the faster the Vitality would be devoured.

Following the exploration of the Barren Forbidden Zone, those who had investigated gathered to specifically discuss this issue.

They then divided the entire Barren Forbidden Zone into three regions.

These three regions were the outer perimeter, the inner area, and the core.

The outer perimeter had the slowest Vitality-devouring rate, and the lowest lifespan consumption proportion, reaching at most 1:100.

For those who ventured into the exploration with tens of thousands of years of lifespan, they could tolerate this ratio.

However, upon entering the inner area, the proportion increased, ranging from 1:100 to 1:1000 within this region.

Staying a day inside this area could consume up to three years of lifespan.

Even those top-tier Cultivators who went to probe did not dare to squander their lifespan so; hence most stopped at this point.

Only a handful dared to continue probing further into the interior.

Finally, there was the core region’s Vitality consumption; within the core region, everyone could feel their Vitality being continuously drawn out of their bodies.

And the rate at which it was being drawn was incredibly terrifying.

Back then, those few remaining individuals endured their Vitality being devoured as they sought to delve deeper into the core region to continue their investigation.

It was a shame, however, that as they advanced further inward, the devouring force became increasingly terrifying, until, at a considerable distance from the Primordial Immortal City,

They could only catch a glimpse of the Samsara Holy Fruit from afar, realizing at this point that the Vitality-devouring force had become exceedingly frightening.

It had even reached a ratio of one to several hundred thousand.

Meaning, staying there for just one day would diminish their lifespan by a thousand years.

Even with such a devouring speed, they could only barely see the Samsara Holy Fruit, with its true distance still afar.

By this time, they realized that even with their Cultivation, they could not venture any further.

Even though the distance required only an instant to close,

Once they neared the Samsara Holy Fruit, they couldn’t endure the horrifying force of Vitality consumption.
