Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1362 - 1347: Decision! Desert Ancient Forbidden Land!
The Desert Ancient Forbidden Land is a place of great ominousness, known to be filled with misfortune.
There are rumors that someone once entered there and claimed that they encountered nothing inside. But soon after exiting the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land, they mysteriously died.
The death was gruesome, as if they had seen something terrifying just before dying.
There are also people who say they have seen extremely horrifying entities inside, though they can't clearly describe what those entities are. Not long after, they lost their sanity, started babbling nonsense, and ultimately went completely mad!
Many who enter the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land never return.
Regardless, this Desert Ancient Forbidden Land is often referred to as a place of misfortune or a land of great ominousness.
Some say it harbors countless powerful wicked demons who curse anyone who disturbs them.
Others say it houses strong ancient creatures from the Ancient Period, and once someone enters, those creatures awaken and devour any intruders.
There are also stories of highly toxic miasma inside, which is colorless and tasteless and causes hallucinations, leading to death upon ingestion.
In any case, there are all sorts of terrifying legends about the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land, but no one can clearly explain what truly exists inside.
Shi Feng put away the Beast Skin Map, placed it back into the Storage Ring, and then looked at Huo Yu and said, "Let's go, to the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land."
Upon hearing Shi Feng's words, Huo Yu was once again startled, "Re... really going to the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land?"
"This Demon has encountered so many things without dying; is he itching for trouble?" Huo Yu thought privately.
"We are really going!" Shi Feng said firmly in response to Huo Yu.
Now, an increasingly intense ominous feeling is surfacing in his mind, stronger than ever before. If he continues to follow the beaten path without making changes, unprecedented danger might indeed descend upon him.
"I'll take the risk by going to the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land to see if I can avoid this danger," Shi Feng thought to himself.
Suddenly, Shi Feng spoke again: "Oh right." With that, a blood-colored light flashed in front of Shi Feng, and after the Blood Light descended, a purple figure appeared before Shi Feng and Huo Yu.
"Lei Lin," Huo Yu immediately called out the name of the person who appeared. It was none other than Lei Lin, the Saint Heir of the Thunder God Sacred Land.
"You!" Lei Lin opened his mouth as he looked at the two people in front of him. His eyes locked on Shi Feng, and immediately, a look of fear appeared on his face.
It seems he hasn't forgotten the soul-crushing pain he experienced under Shi Feng's torment!
"Mas... Master..." Lei Lin addressed Shi Feng, calling him master with a stiff tone. After all, Lei Lin is the Saint Heir of the Thunder God Sacred Land and now has to call someone else his master.
After these days of recovery, aided by some life-saving or miraculous medicine as the Saint Heir, Lei Lin's broken hand bones have already healed.
"Alright," Shi Feng said to Lei Lin, "Being a Saint Heir, you should call me boss like Huo Yu from now on."
"Bo... Boss?" Lei Lin called out, then turned his gaze to Huo Yu beside Shi Feng. Judging by Huo Yu's rebellious nature, calling this person boss, Lei Lin gradually seemed to understand something.
Seeing Lei Lin looking his way, Huo Yu squinted his eyes slightly, looking at him with disdain, as if Lei Lin was beneath him.
Though he is in the same situation as Lei Lin now, Huo Yu feels that by showing such disdain, Lei Lin might mistakenly believe that he is different!
Being under someone's control and obeying commands is indeed an extremely shameful thing for individuals of their status.
"Alright, let's go. To the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land," Shi Feng said, addressing Lei Lin and Huo Yu.
When "Desert Ancient Forbidden Land" was mentioned, Lei Lin's expression changed just like Huo Yu's earlier. It seems he also knows of that infamous place, the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land.
However, after his face changed, Lei Lin said nothing. He knows all too well that the mark has been imprinted deep into his soul, leaving him no room for rebellion. Defying would only result in unspeakable torture.
Recalling that torture, Lei Lin felt ill at ease all over, not wishing to experience that "worse than death" feeling again.
Shi Feng moved and changed the route from the south to the southeast, heading for the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land.
...
Once Shi Feng altered his route, in various places of the Heavenly Tower Desert.
"What? That little brat headed southeast?"
...
"Southeast? If he continues southeast, isn't that the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land? The Desert Ancient Forbidden Land!"
...
"Does it mean the boy plans to pass through the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land and then head toward Sinister Abyss? Isn't that courting death?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
...
"Desert Ancient Forbidden Land! We can't let him enter. He killed my Divine Sect Inheritor; he must be brought to Divine Sect's judgment!"
...
"We must eliminate him, or does he think my Wang Family is easy to mess with?"
...
"Humph! Avenge the killing of my grandson and the pain of my broken hand. Hanl Wei cannot coexist with him; this child must be executed!"
...
Upon learning Shi Feng's change of route toward the southeast, all the Great Forces in the Heavenly Tower Desert began gathering towards the Desert Ancient Forbidden Land.
If the world knew that so many Supreme Forces and powerful entities were mobilizing for a single youth, the whole world would likely go insane.
Such a person and such an event had never happened before on the Wilderness Continent.
However, it hardly reflects well to mobilize so many powerful entities to eliminate a single youth. These forces have already sealed off the news from the Heavenly Tower Desert.
Just like the Supreme Elder Gu Qi of Gu'e Mountain already has plans for the next step. Even if he captures the boy, he plans to announce that it was captured by his great-granddaughter Gu Luo, thereby conveniently promoting her to the new Holy Maiden of Gu'e Mountain.
...
In the skies above the Heavenly Tower Desert, Shi Feng led Huo Yu and Lei Lin, swiftly traversing the Void. Their previous location was already close to the legendary Desert Ancient Forbidden Land.
About two hours later, a dark and gloomy landscape appeared before their eyes.
The land they were currently traversing was still scorching, the sand below glittering under the Fiery Sun's glare.
Yet, that landscape was shrouded in darkness, with gusts of wind akin to Yin Wind occasionally howling, exuding an eerie, sinister atmosphere.
