Chapter 600: Chapter 284 Death (Please Subscribe)_3

Within the Time Secret Realm, there are no stars, sun, or moon, and there is neither day nor night, only a dusky sky tinged with the color of blood.

Therefore, he could not determine his direction using the stars or the sun.

However, Chu Xisheng soon spotted to the east a small volcano that resembled a human head, with smoke rising from its top.

He slightly frowned and landed on the ground, “Let’s head east.”

According to the map given by Chu Yunyun, their current location was in the most dangerous area of the first layer of the Time Secret Realm.

This Time Secret Realm had a total of three layers.

Those who enter the realm can stay on the first layer for three months. If they cannot find a way to the second layer within this three-month period, they will be removed from the Time Secret Realm.

The second layer allows for a stay of another four months, and only upon reaching the third layer can one remain for a full year.

Above the three layers, there lies a ‘Divine Blood Forest.’

Bathing in the Ancient God’s Blood there can yield tremendous benefits.

However, the entrance is extremely difficult.

It is said that in the past hundred years, only a handful of people have been able to enter this place.

But right now, Chu Xisheng’s immediate priority is to find a relatively safe place to perfect the ‘Infinite Slash’ extreme move of the Secret Technique.

A sharp knife does not hinder the work of cutting wood; the sharper the knife, the faster the wood is split.

Chu Xisheng urged Little Flat Head with his Thought to burrow into his body, while Bai Xiaozhao returned to rest on his shoulder.

He began to deploy his movement technique, swiftly weaving through the forest with Zhou Liangchen in tow.

Although both had wings, they could not fly high, limited to a mere thirty zhang, which was not effective in this forest.

Chu Xisheng had no intention of flying high either.

There were dangers lurking nearby; flying too high would inevitably attract the attention of fierce creatures, an extremely foolish act.

Furthermore, the sky dome, though seemingly endless, actually only goes up to a bit over three hundred zhang. The dome is saturated with the power of the Ancient Gods, where one careless move could result in a shattering demise.

Hence, in this secret realm, home to hundreds of strange creatures, not a single flying bird has been nurtured, nor any flying insects.

This alone speaks volumes about the dangers of the sky.

After roughly two minutes, the two covered about a hundred and fifty or sixty li to the east.

The human-head-shaped volcano was already visible in the distance.

However, at this moment, they caught sight of dust clouds and the vibration of Vigorous Force to the northeast, with the sharp sounds of weapons clashing echoing from afar.

Zhou Liangchen, while running, listened carefully, “My Lord, it sounds like someone is calling for help over there.”

Chu Xisheng’s expression remained unchanged. Not only did he not stop, but he also quickened his pace.

“Liang Chen, you heard wrong. There is no cry for help.”

His hearing was much better than Zhou Liangchen’s, discerning that the cries for help were indeed coming from Chu Ming.

Chu Xisheng would rather kick Chu Ming to death than save him.

Just as Chu Xisheng quickened his steps, Chu Ming’s voice suddenly intensified, carrying through the distance.

Her voice was filled with impatience, “Chu Xisheng, I know it’s you! I heard your subordinate’s voice. We are from the same sect, dare you not rescue me while you witness my death?”

Chu Xisheng’s face darkened slightly, and he glanced back at Zhou Liangchen with annoyance, feeling compelled to head towards the direction of the rising dust clouds.

He truly detested the West Capital Chu Family to his bones.

Especially the Chu family’s fourth branch.

Yet he couldn’t entirely disregard the rules of the Formless Divine Sect.

Zhou Liangchen looked embarrassed.

He knew it was his own words that had inadvertently been sensed by Chu Ming.

Although he still didn’t understand why Chu Xisheng harbored such great animosity towards Chu Ming.

Even though Chu Xisheng had changed direction, his pace was slow.

It had taken two minutes for Chu Xisheng to run over a hundred and fifty li, but now he dawdled, covering less than ten li in half that time.

Chu Ming’s voice grew more impatient, “Chu Xisheng! How long do you plan to drag this out? It’s just over ten li. How long will it take you? Hurry up and save us!”

Her voice was full of fury, distorted with anger.

Chu Xisheng, however, did not care in the slightest and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.

He thought to himself, Shouldn’t I observe the environment first?

I must avoid trying to rescue others and ending up in jeopardy myself.

By not abandoning the scene, I cannot be accused of refusing to help.

As for how and when to provide assistance, there are no stipulations in the sect rules.

At this moment, several li away, he could clearly see the situation over there.

Chasing after Chu Ming and her two Daoist attendants, Chu Shan and Chu Shi, was a group of lizard-like creatures.

They appeared as a fusion of humans and lizards, with blue bodies and a layer of scale armor on top.

There were roughly two hundred of these humanoid lizards.

Every motion they made was swift and fierce, with movement speed even faster than the wooden figures, though their strength was somewhat inferior.

However, these two hundred humanoid lizards, all of Seventh Rank, were still not enough to put Chu Ming and the others in mortal danger.

The three of them, each with Sixth Grade cultivation, were exceedingly fast, far surpassing the humanoid lizards.

All it would take was full effort to escape and they could easily shake them off.

What truly put the trio in a predicament were the seven dark figures, swift as lightning.

Chu Xisheng concentrated his gaze and saw that these seven were also humanoid lizards, but each of their bodies was larger than their fellows’, and their physiques more robust.

Apart from that, they were amazingly clad in human war armor, wielding swords, spears, and halberds, and adorned with several magic artifacts.

Chu Xisheng surmised that these items were scavenged from those who had previously died in battle within the secret realm.

Though they fought without any real tactics, they possessed exceptional combat instincts, and their attacks were ferocious and fierce.
