Chapter 1346: Despair
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian held his breath, not daring to make a sound as he completely retracted his aura.
These people and demonic beasts had no lifeforce at all, they were like corpses yet they would kill people. Everyone else had some experience too as all of them held their breaths, not daring to make a sound, causing silence to descend on the atmosphere.
The desolate mountain range gusted with swirls of cold wind. This forbidden ground, was it really still considered a part of the Immortal Law Mountain Range?
This was simply like a mountain of death.
“Swish~” A light sound rang out as wind fluttered their clothing. In this silence, it sounded extremely ear-piercing. A figure instantly turned over due to the sound, and the person who emitted the sound instantly turned pale.
“Bzz~” A raging wind sprang out as a grey shadow radiating immense corrosion energy, instantly lunging over. In just an instant, the target turned into a ball of corpse qi, causing those near him to feel their hearts trembling.
One who was nearby couldn’t control his fear and made a slight sound of exclamation. And instantly, a thunderous bang echoed out as immortal might from thunder law exploded forth. A demonic beast with purple wings turned its malevolent face over as it launched out an absolute killing strike.
Another bout of silence. These figures of death quietly waited here. To everyone else, they were like gods of death, waiting to reap their lives away.
An expert started trembling, and the slight movement actually caused one of the monsters to walked over towards him.
“WE CAN’T LIVE!” That person screamed as he sped upwards into the air. Several attacks instantly launched over, directly exterminating him. That person couldn’t have died in a more miserable manner.
Those who are still alive all began to perspire but they still held their breaths, not daring to make any noise at all. Their eyes were all filled with fear and despair. Naturally, there were also some who closed their eyes, not daring to even look at the monsters. They only hoped that this group of death gods would hurry up and leave the area. But, these monsters seemed to have no inclination of leaving.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes. To him, this was a land of death. Even though he was extremely powerful, even though he had supreme treasures, the moment he was discovered, the death gods would all launch attacks at him instantly. He would die without a doubt.
He knew that these humans and demonic beasts were all terrifying immortal kings when they were alive. Now, they have descended into such a state, akin to gods of death.
He came here to break through to the next realm, he didn’t come here to die. He didn’t want to die.
However, who could resolve this current situation?
“Noise. As long as I can create a noise somewhere else, I can lure them away.” Qin Wentian mused. If he could move, he would easily be able to create a commotion elsewhere. But in order to do so, he had to move first. The moment he moved would be his death.
He could use his abilities and create some echoes elsewhere. However, for immortal-foundation, all their energy had to be unleashed from within. Right now, he had to keep his aura completely retracted. If he didn’t do so, his ending would also be death.
“Only one with strength of an immortal king can resolve the current situation.” A thought surfaced in Qin Wentian’s mind as an intense thirst of survival appeared in his heart.
Another scream rang out. Right now, Qin Wentian’s body was soaked in perspiration. If this continued, all of them would die here.
The intense nervousness he felt caused Qin Wentian to fall into a strange state of mind where there was complete and total silence. It felt like everything in the world ceased moving. The wind blew past his body, he seemed to be able to see the direction of the wind, feel the rhythm of the wind, and even the veined patterns where the wind flowed.
“Laws, the laws of heaven and earth. The heavens itself exist in its own dao, and have its own language. We first have to understand the language before we can control the laws of the Great Dao.” A voice appeared in Qin Wentian’s heart. Wind, was an original attribute source of heaven and earth, it exists everywhere in the world. It wasn’t the same as suppression or destruction type attributes. It only needed the bestowment by an astral soul.
“I need to understand the language of wind laws by the traces they make when they flow in the air.” Qin Wentian mused silently. Back then in the Heavenly Talisman Realm, he consulted the Heavenly Talisman Treasure Tome and had his own understanding with regards to cultivation. Right now, he was trying out his own method to sense the way to the immortal king realm.
Each and every immortal king would have different insights when they broke through, using different methods. Qin Wentian would also have his own methods. Naturally, the prerequisite is that he had to be able to take that step.
Silence was everywhere and Qin Wentian forgot everything. He was just quietly contemplating the heavens and earth. In this instant, his senses turned incredibly sharp, reaching a realm which he had previously been unable to reach.
Stellar martial cultivators, for them to be able to have high accomplishments, it was critical with regards to what they experienced in a situation of life and death. Nobody would be able to evade the threat of true death. And at that instant where they were facing death, even those with the strongest will would definitely tremble. Their will might be broken and their fear might cause delays to their reactions or dull their senses. Hence, the ending would only be death.
There was also another kind of person. The nearer these people got to death, their potential would be ignited. When one was forced to the extreme, the intense survival instinct would kickstart a strength that would eclipse their previous power. Because, these people knew that if they couldn’t pass this situation, the only result left would be death.
Before death, people would usually gravitate towards these two extremes. As for the latter one, the number of people would usually be much more limited.
Qin Wentian precisely was one of these latter ones.
In the external world, two more experts were killed. The slightest movements would instantly cause attacks to be launched out. Everyone was trembling in terror, nobody knew what gave birth to these monsters.
Time was extremely slow and long.
Right now, Qin Wentian has forgotten about everything in the external world. He was no longer nervous or fearful. He was in a state of total focus, and he wanted nothing more but to survive.
Since he wanted to survive, he had to comprehend and gain insights.
His senses were stretched to their limits. The imprints and traces of the Great Dao gave birth to the various laws. All of these imprinted into his mind. He attempted to use his immortal sense to communicate with them. Immortal sense was the only thing that he could use, without causing any aura to leak out.
Another person made a soft noise. Instantly, the death gods turned to that person, causing that person to pale, feeling as though time had stopped.
“BOOM!” At this moment, an intense explosion rang out in the distance, the sound waves gushing over. Immediately, those death gods rushed over with the speed of lightning.
Destructive attacks were launched out instantly towards the location of the sound, but as these destructive might dissipated the faint sense of an aura was still there, speeding away. Those death gods instantly chased after it and this scene caused that expert who was filled with despair earlier, to stare dumbfoundedly, feeling that he managed to get back his life.
Those death gods flew further and further, leaving this area completely. In this instant, everyone felt hope once more. A cold wind gusted by and all these experts could feel was chills. All of them were soaked in cold sweat for the entire duration earlier.
Qin Wentian opened his eyes as a bright light gleamed within. He was another step closer and he manage to resolve the crisis.
With a flash of his silhouette, Qin wentian also sped away. Before him was a ravine and far ahead, there was another mountain range.
Everyone proceeded forward, crossing over into the ravine. During their journey, they encountered many of those monsters but all these monsters were lured away by Qin Wentian. This caused many people to stare at Qin Wentian with a puzzled look in their eyes. This fellow seemed to have become stronger. What did he comprehend exactly? Right now, he was immeasurably close to the immortal king realm.
This ravine was extremely vast and the surroundings were vibrant. There were mystical petals dancing about in the air, releasing a fragrance, filled with the force of life.
“What petals are these?” Someone halted, as he moved towards the sea of petals. There definitely was many strange and mystical treasures here in the ravine. Were these petals a kind of heavenly ingredient or earthly treasure?
A stirring could be felt in the air. Qin Wentian froze and he instantly sped away. The sea of petals actually multiplied in number, causing swishing sounds to ring out as they floated upwards, transforming into a terrifying domain that sought to devour everything.
That expert’s expression changed as he soared high up into the air, wanting to evade the reach of the domain. However, the speed of the petals was much faster than him, easily enveloping him. An instant later, the petals around him grew even more vibrant as his cold and dried corpse fell onto the ground.
The others were frenziedly fleeing but the sea of petals chased after them and bloomed into flowers, exuding great beauty and a demonic charm.
“Save me!” A scream rang out as another expert was devoured. The others were so frightened that their hearts were pounding. Qin Wentian directly took out his demon sword and slashed towards the recently bloomed flowers. A terrifying great roc’s shadow appeared, as he slashed his way through them, and flew through the gap created. The demon sword then expanded to a hundred meters as he swung it downwards.
All the other experts took out their divine weapons and were madly fleeing forward. Finally, after the death of several people, Qin Wentian managed to leave the ravine of petals and came to the mountain range. Right now, their party members were only left with five. All the other experts have already died in this forbidden ground.
The four others floated in the air, they stared at the boundlessly vast mountain range before them with ashen expressions as despair filled their hearts.
“We won’t be able to live, we can’t survive here.” One of them said in a somewhat crazed manner. He felt that he would die for sure in here, there was no way he would be able to make it out of the forbidden ground.
Qin Wentian glanced ahead and similarly, a sense of helplessness appeared in his heart. In the depths of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, in this forbidden ground, their supposedly powerful strength was so tiny and inconsequential!
