Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Mysterious Black Mountain

Just as Xu Nian’s original self entered the Transmission Array, returning to Tianhen Star.

Xu Nian’s Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar also arrived at the entrance of the forbidden zone within Black Wind City at that moment.

"Are you really going to enter the forbidden zone?" Huo Xian looked at Xu Nian and asked.

"I have to go in, because I have a reason I must leave." Xu Nian said firmly.

With Black Dragon City destroyed, Black Wind City had regained its usual peace once more.

After the battle, Xu Nian had made adjustments, and now his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing.

Most importantly, his Gravity Space Domain had reached Domain Second Level.

Once he reached Domain Third Level, he could use a secret technique to reverse the direction of gravity, propelling him out of this Dark Abyss.

At this moment, Lan Xi quietly stood behind him, silently watching.

During this period of cultivation, Lan Xi was reaching the Peak of Tribulation Crossing’s limit.

It seemed that the Heavenly Tribulation was not far off.

"This forbidden zone is incredibly eerie, life will be silently devoured, but since you’re determined, I won’t stop you. I hope you come out unscathed." Huo Xian said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian nodded.

Then he led Lan Xi into the forbidden zone.

As Xu Nian stepped into the forbidden zone, he felt himself locked by an invisible force.

The next moment, he vanished from the sight of those around him.

Upon entering the forbidden zone, Xu Nian beheld a dense and ancient forest.

However, the forest was extremely silent, so much so that even Xu Nian’s own breathing could be heard clearly.

"Lan Xi, leave ten Insect Clan Warriors to explore the path, then enter the Chaos Divine Palace," Xu Nian said to Lan Xi.

"Master, let me stay," Lan Xi hesitated and said.

She also sensed the weirdness of this forbidden zone. If Xu Nian were to die, she wouldn’t survive either.

So she was still a bit worried.

"It’s fine, if there’s any real danger, I can promptly enter the Chaos Divine Palace. You staying here would easily distract me," Xu Nian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lan Xi nodded.

After leaving twenty Insect Clan Warriors, she entered the Chaos Divine Palace.

Her Insect Hatchery had always remained in the Chaos Divine Palace.

As long as the Hatchery wasn’t destroyed, she could regenerate.

This was the advantage of the Void Insect Clan.

After the twenty Insect Clan Warriors appeared, they began to spread out in all directions.

They started assisting Xu Nian by scouting the path.

All of what they saw and heard was transmitted to Xu Nian by the Insect Queen Lan Xi.

Like this, Xu Nian traveled more than ten kilometers without encountering any danger.

"Could the forbidden zone not be as dangerous as I imagined?" Xu Nian wondered to himself in surprise.

Just as Xu Nian’s thoughts fell, Lan Xi’s urgent voice came into his mind.

"Master, this is bad. All twenty of the warriors I’ve sent out have had their lifeforce completely drained. Right now, a wave is moving towards you," Lan Xi communicated.

Hearing this, Xu Nian’s pupils contracted.

All twenty Insect Clan Warriors were dead?

So quickly?

And what is this wave?

Just when Xu Nian began to feel like retreating, a ripple of energy brushed over him like a wind.

In that instant, Xu Nian suddenly aged.

"What is this? How can it devour my lifespan?" Xu Nian exclaimed, looking at his now white hair and withered face.

Had it been an ordinary person, they would have perished under that wave, their lifeforce entirely consumed.

Even if it were his original self here, death would have been certain.

Fortunately, his current body belonged to the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

The lifespan of an Undying Devouring Sky Beast is infinite, eternal.

Therefore, the devouring wave did not take Xu Nian’s life.

However, regaining a youthful appearance would take some time for Xu Nian.

After all, restoring the body’s vital energy and blood takes a certain amount of time.

Looking around, Xu Nian found that no further strange waves emanated from around him.

So he continued moving forward.

Since this bizarre life-devouring energy wouldn’t take his life, at most making him look older, Xu Nian had nothing to fear.

Thus, Xu Nian swiftly moved towards the depths of the forbidden zone.

Originally moving cautiously to avoid danger, his speed gradually increased.

About six hours later, a second eerie wave approached.

Xu Nian’s partially recovered hair turned stark white once more in an instant.

Even his skin became severely shriveled, like dead wood.

Gone was the handsome visage he had before entering the forbidden zone, resembling instead an old man at death’s door.

However, Xu Nian showed no cowardice, continuing deeper into the forbidden zone.

This time, his speed was even faster than before.

About six hours later, a third wave came again.

Xu Nian appeared even older, though the transformation was not as vast.

Other strong individuals would have perished three times by now. Even someone who had completed Immortal Body cultivation in the Earth Immortal Realm could likely withstand only two assaults by this uncanny wave.

Someone like Xu Nian experiencing it three times should practically be pronounced dead.

"I want to see what’s truly inside this forbidden zone and where the Dao Trace Tree is," Xu Nian thought to himself in curiosity.

So he hastened his pace, continuing onwards.

Although much of his lifespan had been devoured, it hadn’t slowed Xu Nian down.

After proceeding for about two hours, Xu Nian finally saw the deepest part of the forbidden zone.

There stood a massive mountain.

This mountain was pitch black like ink, densely forested.

Like a giant black dragon.

At the peak of this black mountain, there grew a fruit tree about three meters high.

At that moment, the tree emitted a strange, radiant light.

"Dao Trace Fruit!"

Xu Nian’s eyes lit up instantly.

He was certain that the fruit emitting a strange glow was the Dao Trace Fruit he was looking for.

However, Xu Nian’s brows quickly furrowed.

He sensed something strange about this Black Mountain.

The Black Mountain was enveloped in an unusual fluctuation identical to that bizarre wave.

Moreover, within this Black Mountain was a dangerous aura.

This dangerous aura was not just the lifespan-devouring wave.

There was also a strong murderous intent.

Xu Nian didn’t know where this murderous intent came from.

"Whatever, let’s get closer to that Black Mountain," Xu Nian thought to himself.

So he continued to approach the Black Mountain.

Soon, he reached the foot of the mountain.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was stunned.

At the foot of the mountain were piles and piles of white, withered bones.

Some of these bones were very old, severely weathered.

Xu Nian was filled with shock.
