Chapter 485 - 246: The Golden Light Key Leads the Way, Immortal Fiend Divine Arrow Dao (2)
It’s obvious that this isn’t because the burly man isn’t strong enough, but because the fierce beasts living in this strange world maintain their extremely brutal nature, launching indiscriminate attacks on any living creatures that dare step into their territory.
...
This kind of event occurs in every corner of the Sumeru Forest Cave Mansion. From the first day of entry, what seems like an opportunity-rich ancient cultivation environment has posed a great challenge to outsiders.
Due to misjudgments or straying into perilous lands, a large number of elite cultivators have been besieged by terrifying fierce beasts, with the death toll rising astronomically.
If statistics were available, it would be discovered that just within the short span of a day in this mysterious world, at least over thirty percent of elite cultivators have already fallen.
This ratio is already very high.
Regardless of which level or stage, cultivators, if unwittingly transported to certain perilous areas, face attacks from fierce beasts of the same realm, and many are torn apart and devoured on the spot.
No wonder Zheng Yi found some not-so-detailed records of the ’Sumeru Forest Cave Mansion’ in the Daoist Canon’s collection, comparing it to one of the most dangerous secret realms.
Although hidden within are numerous Spirit Plants, Spirit Essences, or treasures that are unattainable in the outside world, the immense opportunity also signifies extreme danger.
Every time the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven opens, a large number of cultivators enter it, only to fall completely here, becoming nourishment for this mysterious space.
This is a cruel process of survival of the fittest. Only the strong can survive, only the lucky can live through it. Under the indiscriminate onslaught of fierce beasts, it’s already fortunate if others don’t stab you in the back, let alone provide any help.
In contrast, the biggest danger comes from those around you.
Without the constraints of rules, anything can happen, making people more cautious, unwilling to easily contact strangers.
Whether Demon Dao or Righteous Dao, no matter which sect a cultivator belongs to, once involved in information about treasures or precious Spirit Plants or Essences, one faces brutal slaughter.
Even elite cultivators from Core Formation Sects like the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect, Primordial Sect, and Little Five Elements Sword Sect receive no special treatment upon entering here.
Others won’t fear or respect you because of your origin; after all, if you die here, no matter how powerful the external Core Formation Great Cultivators are, they can’t trace who made the move.
Whoever can survive depends entirely on their own strength, sometimes needing to rely on a bit of luck.
...
Slaughter along the way, bodies strewn all over.
Because he has a complete map in hand, and aligning it with the surrounding environment, Zheng Yi’s movements are swift.
He is skilled in the art of slaughter, and the Five-Colored Divine Light is his Origin Skill; with intention following the heart, wherever he goes, the Little Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo is fully activated, and a Five Elements Particle Storm stirs up a vortex, controlling the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
With the Blood Talisman Treasure Body and talismans that almost monopolized all the assets of the Daluo Alliance over the years, Zheng Yi is unstoppable, seeing red.
As he advances, leaving behind numerous fierce beast corpses, he almost single-handedly slashes through half of the fierce beast mountains.
During this time, even Zheng Yi finds his eyes opened wide. The types of fierce beasts he encounters are diverse, some of which are species that even Zheng Yi has never seen.
The only thing they have in common is their acute sensitivity to external auras, but their intelligence seems generally low.
This reminds Zheng Yi of the array rules covering the entire Sumeru Cave Heaven.
Perhaps when the master of this secret realm created it, they had already decided to simulate an ancient cultivation environment, but suppress the level and wisdom awakening of the life forms within.
Otherwise, after thousands of years of evolution, this place would have long become a fierce beast domain, ruling as kings, forming the ultimate climate, not allowing intruders like Zheng Yi to explore inside.
So along the way, the various fierce beasts Zheng Yi encounters, regardless of their level or race, often display extreme hostility upon seeing him, displaying uniform ferocity.
Almost all with blood-red eyes, pouncing towards him.
But Zheng Yi is well-prepared, and he is already a Divine Soul at the Core Formation stage. Although constrained by the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, when exploding with full force, not to say half a Core Formation stage cultivator, but within the same level, he’s nearly invincible.
Moreover, the Origin Skill of the Five Elements Divine Light originates from the Little Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo evolution, refined by the Five Elements Sword Qi Origin Marrow Stone, this supreme treasure. It can form the rotation of Five Elements and Five Colors Sword Qi, transform into a Five Elements Particle Storm, and even simulate certain powerful magical powers, controlling Five Elements Divine Thunder with Thunder Command Talismans.
In terms of power, it’s indeed formidable, almost invincible.
For fierce beasts of the demon race, it’s an even greater nemesis, giving him a significant advantage.
After all, everything in nature fears thunder tribulation, rooted in original bloodlines.
In the end, under Zheng Yi’s unstoppable advance, one fierce beast after another fell amidst wails, struck down by the dreadful Five-Colored Divine Thunder.
Finding a quiet area, Zheng Yi rested for a while.
Although the slaughter of those fierce beasts along the way consumed a lot of energy, Zheng Yi’s dual cultivation of body and magic still left him with enough stamina to sustain him. After multiple battles, the only part slightly fatigued was the Divine Soul.
After all, most of his journey was spent in slaughter.
Zheng Yi driving the Five-Colored Divine Light and manipulating the Five Elements Divine Thunder, its foundation comes from his own Divine Soul Power. This long-term extreme operation, even for the battle-hardened Zheng Yi, imparts a slight sense of Divine Soul fatigue.
Resting briefly to recover some stamina, easing his Divine Soul, Zheng Yi’s expression became much calmer.
Following the map left by the Patriarch of Divine Thought, Zheng Yi compared the initial environment, using some special locations as landmarks. Trekking across vast regions, he finally determined his exact location.
The reason Zheng Yi continued non-stop and quickly traveled was, on one hand, due to the map’s guidance, and on the other due to chance. What if someone else also obtained this opportunity, or happened by chance to fall into the region where the Heaven-Cutting Vine is located, then the time left for him wouldn’t be much.
After all, in the Cultivation Realm, things are unpredictable; who knows what might happen.
What’s more, that’s a treasure that can directly enhance the Golden Core level. If word got out, not just ordinary cultivators but even Core Formation Great Cultivators would be driven mad for it, which is the primary goal of Zheng Yi’s journey.
Having confirmed the location, Zheng Yi no longer needed to wander aimlessly like a headless chicken. By following the map’s directions, he could deduce the routes and accurately find the location of the Heaven-Cutting Vine.
This would fulfill a long-held wish of Zheng Yi.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yi dared not delay any further. This time, entering the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven was through random teleportation, and he wasn’t sure if anyone might be directly transported there, snatching the opportunity, causing him to regret it later.
With these thoughts in mind, Zheng Yi steadied his output and continued onward.
...
Whiz!
A shadowless arrow suddenly shot out from the dense forest, swift as a phantom, piercing through space, aiming straight at Zheng Yi’s head.
The powerful arrow carried with it a touch of ultimate darkness, seemingly constituted by some sort of spell, locking onto Zheng Yi’s Heart Spirit, bringing deadly danger.
In an instant, a powerful Divine Soul Power activated, allowing Zheng Yi to easily break free from the binding sensation, but his skin could still feel a sharp pain.
But in the next moment, a cold smile appeared on Zheng Yi’s face as an overwhelming Core Formation stage Divine Soul Power engulfed from all directions.
