Chapter 393: Chapter 318 The Long River of Time Appears _1
Are we there yet?
Li Cheng looked ahead at the coastline, the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area, could it be above the sea?
At this moment, Li Cheng did not dare to ask questions, as it would easily give him away, so he could only follow Lei Da forward.
Flying low over the sea’s surface, just tens of thousands of miles out, they occasionally spotted icebergs, each of different sizes and all with people or beasts encased within the ice.
The further they went, the denser the icebergs became, with both living beings and dead spirits frozen inside, resembling a burial ground at sea.
Lei Da’s expression became solemn, “All these are those who tried to break into the Demonic Dragon Forbidden Area. Let’s hope we don’t turn into ice sculptures.”
Li Cheng really wanted to ask, there must be wealth on those who were frozen, why has no one taken it?
But if he did ask, it would only highlight his ignorance and surely make Lei Da suspicious.
So silence was the best option.
After flying out another hundred thousand miles, the scene ahead turned into a stretch of Mysterious Ice Islands, floating above the sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The eerie part was that within a thousand-mile radius at the center of the island was a blood-red area, as if stained with fresh blood.
The two flew low, close to the ground of the ice islands, stopping several miles away from the red area.
Lei Da looked towards Li Cheng, only to see him hastily making a shushing gesture and transmitting his voice, “There are more than ten level five Formations, seemingly interlinked, their power is not weaker than a level six Formation!”
Lei Da showed a look of amazement, just a simple glance and he could see that?
“Brother Yun, let’s not rush, take your time to look!” Lei Da transmitted.
Although he was not adept at Formation, he knew the terror of interconnected formations, where a single misstep could move the whole body to disaster.
Li Cheng nodded, closely sensing his surroundings, his brows gradually furrowing.
Seeing Li Cheng like this, Lei Da transmitted, “Brother Yun, we have plenty of time, if we can find a solution within tens of thousands of years, we should be satisfied, don’t rush.”
Li Cheng ignored Lei Da, looking forward again, silent for a few seconds, then transmitted, “Keep your aura concealed, follow my steps, don’t make a single mistake!”
Lei Da was puzzled, what did this mean?
Wasn’t there a Formation ahead? Although he hadn’t noticed the presence of any Formation, he still trusted Li Cheng’s judgment.
But since it was a Formation, why follow Li Cheng’s footsteps? Could it be that Li Cheng had found a way to enter it?
In his confusion, Li Cheng had already moved, striding several meters at a time, lightly touching the ground with one foot before striding several more meters, then turning his head back towards Lei Da.
Lei Da nodded, focusing on the spots where Li Cheng had stepped, and followed in his footsteps.
Li Cheng continued to move forward, each step varying from several meters, to several hundred meters, or even just a few tens of centimeters, with no discernible pattern to his movements.
After a few hundred steps, Lei Da could not help but frown, wondering if he was being played. Why proceed in such a bizarre manner?
But then, Li Cheng finally stopped moving and transmitted, “It’s alright now, just walk over.”
Lei Da, filled with confusion, casually stepped forward to Li Cheng’s side.
However, with that step, Lei Da’s eyes suddenly widened!
With that step, the scene before him changed, no longer was it a world of ice and snow, but a vibrant forest teeming with life!
“We’ve successfully entered?” exclaimed Lei Da.
Li Cheng nodded, “Unexpectedly, there are so many Life Divine Trees growing here.”
Lei Da’s expression fluctuated, he had been prepared to wait tens of thousands of years, but, instead, after a few hundred strange steps, they had silently passed through the Formation!
Lei Da was quite doubtful, could Li Cheng possibly be from the Blood Demon Clan, to have entered so effortlessly?
But what difference did it make whether Li Cheng was from the Blood Demon Clan? After all, they had both made it inside, which was exactly what they both needed!
Regaining his senses, Lei Da also began to take in his surroundings.
Before him stood Life Divine Trees, as thick as arms, and just over a meter tall, stretching for hundreds of miles with countless numbers.
Each tree was imbued with a majestic vital essence.
“Life Divine Trees grow extremely slowly, these may seem small but have been growing for countless eons, the life force within them is not weaker than that of a level five or six Divine Pill,” Lei Da said.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, this was indeed the forest that appeared in the bubble of time!
In the near future, the events from the bubble of time would occur here.
“The birth of so many Life Divine Trees, the Life Law that the Divine Dragon comprehended during its life must be very close to completion, its bones must be beneath this forest!” said Li Cheng.
Lei Da’s eyes shone, but he kept his wits about him, “Perhaps the true forbidden area of the Blood Demon Clan is hidden beneath this forest, possibly guarded by Demon Lord-level powerhouses. Brother Yun, what are your plans?”
The Life Divine Trees in front of him were precious, but they did not solve Lei Da’s problem; he needed to find more valuable treasures containing the Life Law, such as the bones of the Divine Dragon, Essence Blood, or even its Dragon Ball.
Li Cheng looked at Lei Da, “Why don’t we try to absorb the Life Essence Qi from these Life Divine Trees first? It’s also a good place to hide in the forest and observe the situation in the forbidden area.”
Since the true forbidden area of the Blood Demon Clan might be hidden underneath this forest and might even have Demon Lord powerhouses guarding it, it would certainly be risky to rush in, not knowing how one might die.
On the other hand, in this Life Divine Forest, with the Divine Trees’ Life Essence Qi for cover, it would be very safe.
Moreover, Li Cheng’s goal was not the forbidden area below, but the forest itself, so there was no need to take risks going down.
Lei Da pondered, then nodded, “Brother Yun has considered everything thoroughly. That’s right, even if we found a way down, we would have no certainty of sneaking in, it’s better to wait for the opportunity here in the forest.”
