Chapter 35: Going Deep into the Fores (1/2)

Chen Feng’s mouth was large enough that he could fit a goose’s egg in it. He stared blankly at the open space before him. It all felt like a dream.

“This, this, this…”

Chen Feng’s whole body shook and he was incapable of completing a single sentence.

“Am I dreaming?” Chen Feng took a deep breath before speaking up.

The area in front was supposed to be filled with a dense number of towering, old trees. At present, all of them had disappeared. There was only a vast, fan-shaped, empty land before him.

Earlier, the little tower on his chest had released a sentence. Just one sentence had resulted in the scene before him.

“How is this possible? Even a God cannot be this powerful.” Chen Feng pinched himself before recollecting himself. Everything before him was real.

After that, Chen Feng hastily pulled out the little tower on his chest, holding it in his palm. It remained a dark yellow colour, filled with cracks and shabby. This time, however, Chen Feng could sense the ancientness from it.

“Hey!”

Chen Feng tried to call out, but the little tower did not respond.

“Hey, is there anyone there?”

Still no response.

“Is there anyone inside?” This time, Chen Feng shouted loudly.

Still no response from the little tower, which appeared like a lifeless object.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Chen Feng flicked it a few times with his finger, creating a clear ringing sound. However, the little tower itself did not reveal any response.

“Phew.”

Chen Feng exhaled deeply. His excitement earlier slowly subsided.

“Everything in front is real. This is all the work of this little tower. Rather, it is done by the one whose voice had come out from it earlier. Just the voice alone could bring about such destructive powers. I simply cannot imagine what level the character must be to be able to cause this.”

“I clearly heard a voice earlier. But now, it has returned to a quiet state. It seems the existence inside this little tower is ignoring me. Is it because I am too weak? Or perhaps, there is another reason?”

Having reached that line of thought, Chen Feng shook his head. Drumming up his morale, he condensed out wings on his back and quickly flew up into the sky. He quickly flew forward.

“Although this little tower is very strange, capable of bursting out such an unimaginable power, it is not something I can control. It can only be considered a lifeless item. Earlier, if the Li Family Patriarch had not coincidentally tapped it, the little tower would not have unleashed such a power. Then, I would have been captured.

“The danger has been temporarily averted. However, it is hard to say if the others might or might not continue chasing after me. Next time someone comes after me, I would not be as lucky.

“At present, I should still go deep into this Black Origin Mountain Range and find a place to hide. However, I will need to be careful of the yao beasts within this place. If I end up encountering one, I would surely end up dying.”

Chen Feng quickly analysed the pros and cons. Finally, he made up his mind. For now, he should move to avoid getting captured by the group of Concealed stage cultivators from Black Origin City.

As he flew, he prayed that he would not bump into a yao beast. Otherwise, he would definitely be killed.

Unknown to Chen Feng, when the little tower had unleashed the soundwave attack, as a natural by-product, it also issued out a powerful atmosphere of coercion. The atmosphere of coercion had caused the wild animals, yao beasts and all other creatures up front, hundreds of li forward, to run away in panic. Thus, Chen Feng’s way forward was safe for the moment. As he continued onwards, Chen Feng would soon realize that the way forward was extremely quiet. Not even a wild rabbit could be found (1 li = 0.5 km).

Sou! Sou! Sou!

One joss stick’s worth of time after Chen Feng disappeared, Tie Jianfeng and the others appeared. There were bloodstains on their bodies. Clearly, they had been badly wounded. After engaging in a battle against the Red-Gold Tiger, they finally won, successfully killing the tiger.

“What happened here?” Hu Lie was the first to cry out in shock.

They were within a lush forest, with towering old trees over a hundred metres tall everywhere. Suddenly, however, a vast open space appeared within the forest. Additionally, it had a strange fan shape. Thus, all of them felt shocked.

“This place used to have trees. Look, there are roots here. The trees here had been partially damaged. Even a portion of this large rock has vanished. It must have been destroyed by some magical power.”

“The power likely originated from here.” Mo Yuan stood at the same place where Chen Feng had been standing on.

All of them checked their surroundings carefully and came up with some speculations. After that, they all exchanged glances, their faces filled with perplexity and shock.

“Is this real? Who could unleash such power?”

“Judging by the scene in front, it should be the result of powerful magics.”

“Could it be the legendary immortal humans?”

“It seems we have borne witness to a miracle. I believe that even experts who have surpassed the Concealed stage and cultivate up to the Sky Human stage could not do this.”

One after another, Tie Jianfeng and the others spoke up. There were looks of shock on every one of their faces. Ordinary humans would have found it difficult to accept what was lying before them. However, they were all cultivators who had cultivated themselves up to the Concealed stage and had plenty of experience. Although greatly shocked, they were still able to accept it, albeit barely.
