739: The appearance of a fantasy world
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be a demon. Chen Du focused intently, taking this opportunity to see what the so-called Forbidden Ground truly was and what dangers it held.
As soon as the Star Core Beast stepped into it, it heard a strange sound.
The reason it was strange was that this sound was indescribable, for it was a non-existent sound.
The eerie point of this sound was that it was a state of sadness.
It was as if you saw a sad person, but that person was just sad, without any actions like crying.
From a sensory perspective, it was as if you saw sadness, rather than heard it.
Fortunately, the Star Core Beast seemed immune to this sound, so it showed no abnormalities.
Just as the Star Core Beast was about to proceed further,
A large amount of white Mist suddenly emerged from the depths of the Wailing Cave.
“This…”
Chen Du was all too familiar with this; it was the defensive form of the ultimate resource, the War Fog.
Mist!
When he came earlier, he saw no white Mist outside and thought the War Fog wasn't in the Wailing Cave at this time. He didn't expect it to already be there, just not activated.
It was clear that the Star Core Beast hadn't anticipated this either, but it was only surprised, because due to the Eye of Illusion, the Mist had no effect on the Star Core Beast.
Chen Du saw this clearly through the other party's perspective, but it wasn't entirely useless. The Mist did compress the Star Core Beast's line of sight somewhat, but that was all.
However, just as the Star Core Beast was about to proceed further,
A violent fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the Wailing Cave, so intense that the entire Wailing Cave trembled slightly.
A Black Mist, so dark it seemed to swallow even light, surged out, its appearance extremely ferocious.
They were composed of countless black gaseous skulls, and each skull had another skull in its mouth, and the skull in its mouth had yet another skull in its mouth!
Like Russian nesting dolls, they were endless. Even the Star Core Beast, possessing the Eye of Illusion and the Eye of Truth, couldn't tell how many layers these skulls had.
Wherever the Black Mist passed, even the white Mist was swallowed.
Upon seeing this Black Mist, the Star Core Beast turned and left without looking back.
But the Black Mist seemed unwilling to let him go, pursuing him all the way.
In this way, the Star Core Beast left the Underground for a million meters, returning to the Primordial Mine. But the Black Mist was still in pursuit, looking like it wouldn't stop until one of them was dead.
During the chase, it conveniently eliminated some Underground Alien Races, among which were not a few powerful existences.
Chen Du even saw individual Alien Races deploy their Domain, but they were still instantly killed by the Black Mist.
At this point, it was unclear if the Star Core Beast had no choice, but he turned around and collided head-on with the Black Mist. This was not an ordinary collision.
It was a contest of strength.
The final result seemed to be a draw.
The Black Mist retreated, and soon, white Mist surged up through the million-meter Underground entrance, forming the initial range of the white Mist.
The Star Core Beast was also injured from this contest of strength. Chen Du clearly saw a piece of flesh from his finger embed itself in a mine below.
Chen Du was very familiar with this mine; it was precisely a Catalysis Mine!
So, the birth of the Catalyst Alien Race is related to the Star Core Beast?
Could the Star Core fragment that the Prophet Alien Race found back then be this?
The Star Core Beast glanced at his own flesh, paid it no mind, and left.
Chen Du was somewhat puzzled. The Star Core Beast, a creature that seemed unable to regenerate, had a very special Physique, yet he didn't go back to retrieve that piece of flesh.
As for that Black Mist, Chen Du suspected it was the so-called attack form of that ultimate resource, the War Fog.
War!
In this way, the Star Core Beast returned to the Surface.
He continued forward, and as expected, he proceeded to the next Forbidden Ground.
The Cloudfall Skyriver.
Because of its unique Qi, it formed an environment similar to a waterfall, making it easy to recognize.
It was also known as one of the most dangerous Forbidden Grounds.
However, this danger didn't mean it was the most difficult; it was simply because the Cloudfall Skyriver was more conspicuous and located on the strongest Paradise Plate.
Therefore, as the timeline progressed, many Alien Races would come attracted by its fame, and naturally, many would die.
Just as Chen Du was curious whether the Star Core Beast would enter, he left, merely observing from a distance before departing.
Immediately after, he arrived at an area where the sky always remained in a sunset state, regardless of the time.
Although it was his first time here, Chen Du understood that this was the Land of Dusk Death.
Within it was what he desired: that coffin, that existence that surpassed ultimate resources!
He still just glanced at it and left.
The next stop was the last of the Surface Forbidden Grounds, the Fantasy World!
This was a place located on a remote Plate, so remote that it was like the Land of Abandoned Armor, a forgotten corner.
However, the appearance of the Fantasy World was somewhat beyond Chen Du's expectations; it was entirely made of stone.
As the Star Core Beast approached, this stone world generated countless monsters of various forms, seemingly unwelcoming to the Star Core Beast.
The Star Core Beast didn't hesitate, simply left, flying upwards.
If nothing unexpected happened, he should be heading to the last two Forbidden Grounds.
Chen Du also vaguely sensed what the Star Core Beast wanted to do at this moment. He seemed to be confirming an attitude.
He was confirming the attitude of the Nine Forbidden Zones. The reason he entered the Wailing Cave was because he couldn't get the other party's attitude.
If the hypothesis was true, then currently it seemed only the Icy Tendril Abyss, Cloudfall Skyriver, and Land of Dusk Death were neutral; others seemed rather unfriendly.
As the altitude increased, Chen Du, using the Star Core Beast's peripheral vision, saw the full panorama of the Fantasy World.
He didn't know until he saw it, and when he did, he was startled.
The full panorama of the Fantasy World was actually a stone book!
A book entirely composed of stone!
And the appearance of this book was actually the same as the Heavenly Book Civilization!
This was a result Chen Du had never anticipated.
The existence of the Heavenly Book Civilization was first seen during the Douqi Baptism, and out of curiosity, it was only because they were the boss of the 15th wave in the Crystal Space.
But he didn't expect that this long investigation would lead to the Nine Forbidden Grounds!
Could it be that the Fantasy World, like the Scarlet Territory, is also an Alien Race?
...Whoosh!
After flying for an unknown period, the Star Core Beast arrived at a certain place in the sky.
Chen Du originally thought the destination of this stop should be the Cloud Profound Empty Realm, but upon arrival, he instantly knew that this place was definitely not the Cloud Profound Empty Realm.
Instead, it was the second Forbidden Ground in the sky!
