Chapter 449 – Blood Lightning Mountain Sea (1/2)

Blood Lightning Mountain Sea, as the name dubbed it, there was nothing but mountains in Chen Xiang’s sight, endless and endless sea of mountains, which were shrouded by thick dark clouds. The entire area was extremely dark. However, it was dyed red from time to time from the intermittent flashes of lightning, all of which were as red as blood. The entire range of mountains, under this bloody red light, looked extremely eerie.

Hua Xiangyue landed on the ground, her face extremely serious. She pulled Chen Xiang closely as she started walking gingerly.

“What is it?” asked Chen Xiang. Hua Xiangyue was in no way weak. She was an expert who had crossed seven nirvana tribulations. Last time, when she had released that Perishing Golden Body of hers, Yue Jianglin of Proud Sword Sect didn’t dare to utter as much as a single word.

Judging from how cautious Hua Xiangyue was acting, it was quite evident that the danger level of this place was extraordinary.

“We have to cross this Blood Lightning Mountain Sea to reach that herb garden! This Blood Lightning Mountain Sea is spread over a vast area, so vast that the entire area is bigger than the area of two Chenwu Mainlands combine. Furthermore, these mountains have formed a very huge circle, surrounding a large piece of land. This area is at least five to six times bigger than a mainland. And rarely anyone trespasses on this land as this Blood Lightning Mountain Sea is extremely dangerous.”

[TLN: Think of the Blood Lightning Mountain Sea as the circumference of a circle.]

Chen Xiang had long known that Kings’ Mainland was very vast. However, he never thought that this place would be so bizarre and dangerous.

“So to say, thus Blood Lightning Mountain Sea had created a barrier, protecting the center!” said Chen Xiang.

Hua Xiangyue nodded her affirmation. “Right, there are creatures in here called lightning beasts. These creatures are different from demon beasts! The demon beasts can evolve into spirit beasts, profound beasts, and then, take a human form. However, these lightning beasts can’t! They grow stronger by engulfing the blood lightning throughout the year. Their mind is filled with the urge to eat lightning and destructive thoughts. They are very violent creatures. Many are on par with the Nirvana Realm cultivators!”

Chen Xiang drew a cold lump of air. He now came to know what Hua Xiangyue was afraid of.

“Let’s go! If and when, we encounter any kind of danger, you must escape.” Hua Xiangyue, pulling Chen Xiang’s hand continued, “Stay close to me, I have gone in once, I know the route.”

Chen Xiang was moved. “Sister Xiangyue, you are really good to me!”

Hua Xiangyue said, harrumphing tenderly, “Of course, but you just don’t seem to appreciate it.”

“When did that happen? Didn’t I say I will give you those herbs? That’s a little token of my regards, it’s you who don’t appreciate it!” rebuked Chen Xiang.

“Keep them for yourself, I don’t need them!” She may have said this but she was pleased in her heart. Indeed, she needed them very much, but she knew it was difficult to get such life-saving herbs were hard to come by. Chen Xiang might need them in the future, if and when he encountered any misfortune.

Chen Xiang did not say anything. The decision he had taken would never be changed, no matter what. Not to mention, it wasn’t anything difficult for him, it was just a matter of time. The Fruit of Fortune he had awarded had been handed to Su Meiyao for planting a while back. And after having poured a large amount of Golden Dragon Saliva, it had already grown into a small tree.

Hua Xiangyue sure was familiar with this place. Wherever she went, it wasn’t struck by that red lightning. Only after entering this place did Chen Xiang came to realize the danger of this place. These red lightning bolts were brimming with a vast amount of energy. Whenever they struck down, a huge mountain would surely be destroyed. Furthermore, the energy would also seep into the ground, causing the mountains to shake.

Dense as these red bolts of lightning were, they rarely struck the ground. However, if someone were to fly high in the sky or get sensed by the red lightning, he or she would be out of luck.

Chen Xiang wasn’t afraid of lightning strikes at all. After all, when he had started cultivating the Azure Dragon Divine Exercise, he needed to attract the lightning into his body sometimes. However, this blood lightning was far more different than ordinary lightning. Chen Xiang didn’t know if he could endure them.

Hua Xiangyue led Chen Xiang through the mountains for three days. All along the way, nothing happened. Nonetheless, Hua Xiangyue remained vigilant all the time.
