Chapter 1660: On the Brink of Collapse
hree finger-length scars!”On Jiang Yun's back, there was originally the Nine Clan Dao Seal left by the Dao Zun.Both like scars and birthmarks, arranged in a "cloud" shape, this is the origin of the na...The Dead Zone, in Jiang Yun's estimation, was bound to be filled with an endless expanse of desolation and emptiness. Aside from some vicious monsters and powerful demons like Huanxu, there wouldn't be any other life forms present.
However, the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, he was stunned.
Because in front of him, there were more than ten gigantic worlds radiating brilliant light.
Off-world battlefields, from the first region to the ninth, actually have worlds existing in them.
Although those worlds also emanated light, besides demons and beasts, there was almost no other life within them.
And, those worlds' areas are relatively small.
At this very moment, looking at the dozen or so worlds before him, although Jiang Yun had not yet entered them, his sharp senses could already clearly perceive a surge of vigorous life.
Especially as the light that shone out into the world fell upon him, it brought a long-forgotten warmth.
This was far beyond what he had imagined, making Jiang Yun feel as if he were back in the Dao Domain. He even forgot about the pain his body was experiencing from the increased gravity once again.
"Ginger Cloud"
Just then, a voice tinged with curiosity echoed in Jiang Yun's ear, startling him back to his senses. He turned his gaze towards the source of the sound.
There, stood a beautiful young woman, frowning at herself.
Although this woman appears young, the aura emanating from her body is incredibly powerful. She's at least a Dao Stage expert.
Jiang Yun knew that the other party must be the one from the Gate of Life and Death responsible for waiting for him within this death zone. He nodded slightly and said, "I am Jiang Yun."
As Jian Yun came to his senses, the pain in his body surged like a tide, causing him to involuntarily tremble after uttering those five words.
Although Jiang Yun gritted his teeth, trying hard to keep his body steady, the woman had already seen through him.
The woman shook her head and said, "The gravity here is extremely strong. With you teleporting back and forth, your body couldn't have withstood it long ago. So I advise you to sit down and catch your breath as soon as possible. It's better to wait until you adjust before moving again."
At this moment, Ginger Cloud did not refuse the other party's kindness.
Because he himself was very clear, if he didn't let his body quickly adapt to the gravity here, then relying on his current state, let alone finding Yue Ruhuo, it would even be difficult to move.
Therefore, Jiang Yun didn't speak again. His body and hair began to swell rapidly, causing his physical form to replace his true self. He used his Extinction Demon Body to quickly adjust his physical condition.
Watching Jiang Yun's changes, a hint of surprise flashed across the woman's face, but it quickly returned to normal. She shifted her gaze, looking around as if she were protecting Jiang Yun.
However, just as Jiang Yun had just begun to regulate his breath for a mere quarter of an hour, he heard a faint, extremely subtle cracking sound in his ear.
This caused him to suddenly open his eyes and look at the moon-like fire life stone he had always held tightly in his hand.
At this very moment, within the last sliver of the life stone, no bigger than a fingernail, yet another crack has appeared!
However, besides the cracks, Jiang Yun could also clearly feel that a new kind of sensation had emerged within this life stone, faintly pointing in a certain direction.
"Whoa!"
Jiang Yun let out a long breath from his mouth, suddenly stood up, and bowed to the woman in front of him: "Thank you for your help, I will repay you someday, farewell!"
As soon as his words left his mouth, Jiang Yun didn't even wait for the woman's response. Ignoring his own body that hadn't fully adapted, he swept his sleeve, and Taiyang was summoned out.
Ginger Cloud jumped directly onto Taiyang's back. According to the feeling from the Life Stone, she emanated divine consciousness and ordered Taiyang to immediately set off in a certain direction.
Taiyang's form was also a bit staggering. Even as the king of monsters in the fifth-level area, it couldn't adapt to the terrifying gravity within this death zone for a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Yun reached out in time to take out a demon pill and stuffed it into its mouth!
This is also what Jiang Yun discovered within the past year.
Tai'ang and the initial Firebird were a bit alike in that they both enjoyed eating various pills, including demon pills.
However, unlike Huo Que who merely ate to satisfy his appetite, Tai Yang consumed various pills to enhance his abilities.
Therefore, within this year, Jiang Yun not only journeyed but also continuously captured numerous demonic beasts, sending them into the Wuyan Puppet Lamp for Huo Dumeng to refine into demon pills.
But the Fire Phoenix, because its own strength was weak to begin with, after swallowing the demon pill, the speed of its strength improvement naturally became much faster.
Especially the first demon pill he took at the beginning, it allowed him to directly soar to the peak of the Dao Spirit Realm.
In order to help him further improve his cultivation, Jiang Yun even spared some time, taking him into various small worlds and personally helping him absorb enough yin-yang power. Finally, within a year, he successfully reached the peak of the Tianyou realm!
The improvement of Huo Du Ming's power naturally also increased the speed at which he could refine demon pills, so the demon pills he refined were enough to meet Tai Yang's needs.
Although Ginger Cloud didn't know how the realms of cultivation were divided in Taicang, she could tell that a large number of demonic pills had significantly increased his strength.
As the demonic pill was swallowed, Taiyang's staggering body quickly stabilized. He immediately spread his legs and ran wildly according to Jiang Yun's instructions.
Seeing Taicang and Jiangyun depart, the woman couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Although she had known about Jiang Yun subduing Taiyang for a long time, she never quite believed it until today when she saw it with her own eyes.
"This Ginger Cloud is truly extraordinary. If he were to join my Death and Life Gate, he would be a great asset."
"It's a pity, looking at his current direction, he is clearly heading to the deepest part of the Death Space. Even those from the Illusory Abyss wouldn't dare enter lightly. This time, he probably won't be coming back!"
With a hint of sentimentality, the woman's figure also directly melted into the world nearest to her.
Jiang Yun rode on Taiyang's back, constantly urging it forward with his divine sense, while he himself hurriedly took the opportunity to continue adjusting his body's breath.
Taicang's speed was not fast at first, but gradually, it became faster and faster.
After just a few breaths, it had already recovered its speed from when it was in the fifth-level area. It ran so fast that its figure could not be seen.
As Taiyang ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery finally matched Jiang Yun's previous imagination of this death zone.
All around, there was no trace of the world anymore. Not even a shadow of a demon beast could be seen. Only boundless darkness, endless as if it had no end.
Thus, after Taiyang had been running at full speed for a whole day, Jiangyun also felt the response from the life stone in his hand growing stronger.
However, after a day of rest, Jiang Yun's body not only failed to adapt to the gravity here, but the pain actually intensified.
His powerful body was torn with deep wounds by the intense gravity, bloody streaks oozing from them. The pain had begun to cloud his mind.
Apparently, the continuous travel had pushed his body far beyond its limits, it was already on the verge of collapse.
Now, the most important thing he should do is to stop immediately and find a safe place to have a good rest.
However, Ginger Cloud is too worried about Yue Ruhuo's safety and therefore still persists!
"Almost there, almost there!"
Finally, in Jiangyun's mutterings, a black cloud appeared before him, and several figures gathered around it!
First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkd his brow and said, "Fu Yi, you wouldn't really want us to submit to him, would you"Fu Yi shook her head and said, "Surrender is not the case, but you and I have to admit that now, Jiang Yun actually...
