Chapter 180: The Lost Territory

"Travelling through space. Those intertwined by the wheel of destiny are the son of god who lost his past and the two daughters of god who also lost their past, interweaving with each other. During the peace of the heaven's tool, the north and south are on the verge of turmoil... I had used up fifty thousand years of my life span to pay the price of this vague prophecy... Go ahead and prove it. Prove that you are the master of this prophecy..."

As the voice faded further, the warm scorching feeling had completely disappeared. Before their eyes was now a red colored world that they had travelled through space to.

Kui Shui Nation's lost shrine?

It was Ye Wuchen's first time hearing this name. Similar to this strange name, the words of the Heavenly Fire Dragon also caused his heart unease. The two daughters of god who had lost their past—Tong Xin and Ning Xue. Were the two of them really the White Winged Angel and Black Winged Angel that Chu Cangming mentioned? Those words, "indeed it was you" from the Heavenly Fire Dragon had almost cleared all the hesitation and doubt in his heart.

As for the son of god who had lost his past... Ye Wuchen closed his eyes to arrange his confused trains of thought. He believed in the prophecy, because he himself possessed a weak and subtle power of premonition. And the Heavenly Fire Dragon did not have any reason to lie.

"Travelling through space..." These words caused Ye Wuchen's heart to be shocked, because he indeed came from another dimension.

The teleportation did not continue for long and the red world quickly faded away. The surrounding environment gradually turned dark. When everything settled back, he opened his eyes at looked all around.

This moment, it was late afternoon and nearing dusk yet it looked as if this place wrapped in shallow night, very dark and very quiet. The sky was full of gloomy clouds, and atmosphere was dead all around, giving off a kind of invisible depressing feeling. The surroundings had thinly spread trees, each of them thick and solid. It was obviously autumn, yet the grass and trees appeared to be a dark sea green, dried leaves were rare. The ground was slightly dark, moist like it had been through the rain and not a bit of dried earth could be seen.

This place was...

Like the Heavenly Fire Dragon said, this must be Kui Shui Nation situated in the southern part of the Heavenly Star Continent. Ye Wuchen did not know much about this nation, he only knew that it was rampaged by a lot of ferocious beasts. The number of beasts greater the number of humans, much more than the other three nations together. Their comprehensive strength might even be greater than that of humans. Due to the frequent occurrence of the beasts, it had resulted in the emergence of a lot of experts. Aside from those young women who were not used to going out of their homes, almost everyone had different levels of cultivation.

Compared to them, Tian Long Nation's environment that was so comfortable so it lead to lesser number of martial experts.

Ye Wuchen looked in all directions, yet he could not find the figures of Ning Xue and Tong Xin. His eyes focused and concentrating his mind, he released his own breath to the highest level, permitting Tong Xin to easily locate him. He believed the three of them were sent to this strange place together but in different spots sp they should not be very far from each other. The only thing he worried about was that would Ning Xue and Tong Xin who had been together, still stay together?

He did not walk around and just silently waited for Tong Xin to arrive.

However, the first to arrive was not Tong Xin, but a strange wild beast with purple light surrounding its body. A living human's breath was an attractive force to majority of the savage animals.

Its external form was like that of a wolf, yet its body was more than two times larger. It half-opened bloody mouth and terrifying eyes were releasing vicious air. Its entire body was surrounded by purple electric light that proved that it was a magical creature with the power of thunder, which were quite rare. When Ye Wuchen looked at it, his mind automatically supplied him the information about this wolf.

The Cursed Thunder Wolf, Spirit-Level middle ranked thunder enchanted beast. Savage and blood-thirsty, with a flexible body, frightening wolf claws strong enough to break rocks into tiny pieces, and it was able to produce middle range thunder and lightning strikes.

Was this the "Spiritual Eyes" bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Fire Dragon? Indeed it made use of spiritual power to gain the target's name, characteristics, even its weak point!

This Cursed Thunder Wolf was really worthy of its cruel name. It showed no unnecessary demonstrations or probing movements. With a cruel roar, it immediately dashed towards Ye Wuchen. Glittering like frost and snow, its claws bore a frightening cold ray that was going towards his neck. Ye Wuchen was not alarmed and easily evaded with this his feet as he leaped up. Jumping into a huge tree with almost a half meter of thickness, he stood on the lowest tree branch as he gazed down at it.

The Cursed Thunder Wolf did not the ability to take to the air, and its ability to jump was also incomparable with Ye Wuchen. Purple light flickered in its eyes and two threads of lightning suddenly emitted, directly hitting Ye Wuchen high above. But the moment the lightning was released, Ye Wuchen threw out a Heaven Shaker Bomb just in time.

When Hua Zhentian threw the bag of Heaven Shaker Bombs at him, he had told him haughtily, "Unless you come across some Heaven-Level freaks, with these Heaven Shaker Bombs, it will not be very easy to kill you." Although the power of the Heaven Shaker Bomb was insufficient in completely guarding against the heaven-level experts, dealing with Spirit-Level experts was much easier.

The two threads of lightning that lashed out against Ye Wuchen's chest only made his body sway twice. The Cursed Thunder Wolf did not have much time to move away and was directly hit by the Heaven Shaker Bomb, after a miserable cry it fell into the ground and rolled over more than ten rotations. The part of its body that had been directly hit was badly mangled and mutilated.

The smell of blood and the substantial wrath had caused the Cursed Thunder Wolf's to go berserk. It stood up ignoring the pain of its wound. With lightning crackling and rattling around its body, it rushed in the direction of the tree where Ye Wuchen was standing. Using its vigorous strength to hit the thick tree trunk, the entire tree vibrated until it violently swayed and was subsequently tore through by the wolf claws. The entire claws sunk into the tree trunk as easily as cutting through tofu.

Once, twice, thrice...

In the middle of its frantic roaring, the bottom of the thick and solid tree was thoroughly broken to pieces bit by bit with the use of those frightening wolf claws and the huge tree was on the verge of collapsing. Ye Wuchen was still standing on a tree branch, silently observing it go crazy, and remained unmoving. The Cursed Thunder Wolf knocked against the tree trunk once more, preparing to topple it to the ground, when Ye Wuchen jumped down from the tree trunk. He landed on its body while his hand carried the Southern Empire Sword that he rarely used.

With a loud noise, the huge tree collapsed and the Cursed Thunder Wolf looked upward in an instant. Its vision was filled with golden light that slowly grew larger in its pupils.

Shunk.

The Southern Empire Sword pierced right through the Cursed Thunder Wolf's right eye. Ye Wuchen then leaped off smoothly, abandoning the sword and fleeing to a distance to avoid being counterattacked by the cruel Cursed Thunder Wolf.

Whether human or beast, normally the weakest part of the body was the eyes. For the Cursed Thunder Wolf, the eyes were not just the weakest part, but also the source for its lightning. With its right eye directly pierced through by the Southern Empire Sword, the Curse Thunder Wolf rolled in pain on the ground, producing miserable howls that could tear one's heart and break one's lungs.

"Nan-er, come back."

Ye Wuchen slightly relaxed and reached out his hand. The Southern Empire Sword automatically flew into his hand, the sword blade was still bright and clean like mirror and did not contain any bit of contaminated blood or filth. Not even a counterattack, the Cursed Thunder Wolf might have already forgotten the existence of its prey as he was in middle of the immense pain.

But the problem did not end there, because the place where Ye Wuchen was standing in was the so-called "Lost Territory." During those days, Ye Qi had told him about the most terrible places in the Heavenly Star Continent. One of them was the forbidden area of the Kui Shui Nation that nobody wanted to set foot on. Within this area resided numerous savage and powerful ancient wild beasts, the Cursed Thunder Wolf which Ye Wuchen had just encountered could be regarded as the leader of the enchanted beasts compared to the creatures of the other places in the Heavenly Star Continent. Yet within this "Lost Territory," it might just be the most ordinary creature around the area.

With the miserable howling of the Cursed Thunder Wolf which did not seem to weaken or stop, Ye Wuchen already felt a few powerful breaths approaching from different directions. He released his breath with the aim to let Tong Xin discover his location, but he also attracted a lot of these terrible beasts.

Ye Wuchen knitted his brows and was about to find a place when his heart suddenly went cold. He sensed danger approach his body and before he could think of anything, with all his strength he jumped all around. A black shadow had nearly brushed against his chest as it flew by, then with a 'whoosh' it bore into the bushes and disappeared. In that brief a moment and while he was caught off guard, Ye Wuchen had not been able to clearly see it. He had only seen a thin black line around half meter long.

Ye Wuchen stood still, the danger he sensed came around once more. He narrowed his eyes and dropped his body low as a black line shot out from the bushes swept past the top of his head. The speed was incomparably fast, Ye Wuchen could only feel a gloomy and cold wind blew past overhead.

This black line rush out and landed quite far from where it had jumped from, which happened to be the spot near the Cursed Thunder Wolf. It changed it target because of this and attacked the Cursed Thunder Wolf, hissing as their bodies collided.

This time, his spiritual eyes explored its information.

Soul Snatcher Line, Heaven-Level rank snake enchanted beast. Expert in concealing its breath and extremely poisonous. When one below God-Level is bitten, they would immediately lose consciousness and certainly die within a minute. Because its speed was fast like lightning, not many people would be able to evade from it or strike its body. When someone who knew of this creature saw it, they kept away from it and would run far away. Its weak point is its extremely weak body. Currently there was only one that existed in Heavenly Star Continent, yet it was still so incomparably frightening.

Ye Wuchen had seen its entire appearance—as thick as a finger and less than half meter long snake with a pitch-black body. This seemingly unremarkable creature unexpectedly possessed a terrible Heaven-Level strength. Its ability to conceal its breath was what caused Ye Wuchen unaware of its presence a while ago.

The next moments would show him the terrible properties of this Soul Snatcher Line.

The moment it was bitten by the Soul Snatcher Line, its whole body howled miserably as the Cursed Thunder Wolf went stiff. Its howling eventually cut off and at the same time, it had stopped rolling around. Immediately following that, a faint black color emerged from the spot which was bitten. It slowly and gradually become more concentrated and quickly spread through the entire body, turning the brown colored wolf dark brown, then gradually blacker still...

The Cursed Thunder Wolf, a middle rank Spirit-Level middle enchanted beast was completely unable to resist under the extremely poisonous venom of the Soul Snatcher Line. Within a few seconds, the poison had spread through its entire body.

Unless one was God-Level, if one got bitten by it, they would certainly die... This was a terrible characteristic. And apparently, it did not hunt just to feed, rather it hunt for the sake of killing as well. It separated itself from the body of the Cursed Thunder Wolf and turned. Two tiny eyes released a terrible dark light when it shot its glance at Ye Wuchen.
