Everlasting Divine Emperor

Countless giant blood devouring bats rushed towards the group of warriors that entered the Forest of Gloomy like endless dark clouds. In an instant, all the specks of light that shone through the gaps between the leaves were completely covered and the Forest of Darkness became even darker.

Ten Blood Devouring Giant Bats might not be a threat to these tens of thousands of warriors, but if tens of thousands of them attacked together, the power would be astounding.

Although this wave of martial artists had already been prepared for battle, when those dark cloud-like bat-like groups of martial artists spread out their great wings and rushed into the crowd of martial artists with surging true essence, there were still hundreds or thousands of martial artists that let out miserable screams. Soon after, the ground would be covered with the corpses of martial artists that had instantly sucked up all the blood within their bodies.

Due to Ye Daoxuan's early warning, Yang Wu, Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian, Ruan Zhilan and the others promptly hid behind a huge tree. The five of them leaned against a tree and started fighting with the Blood Devouring Giant Bat.

As the two strongest warriors in this team, Ye Daoxuan and Yang Wu stood to the left and right of Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian, and Ruan Zhilan, protecting them from the crazy attacks of the Blood Devouring Giant Bats. The moment they realized that the three of them were in danger, they would immediately come to their rescue.

With the Dark Jade Divine Punisher Blade in his hand, every time he swung the blade, hundreds and thousands of black lights would interweave together to form a huge black net. As long as the Blood Devouring Bats touched the net, they would turn into blood mist.

The blood in the body of these Blood Devouring Giant Bats, which were comparable to the blood of a human in the mid Greater Celestial Realm, was no different from a 'great tonic' to the God of Death, Mo Yu. Every time Ye Daoxuan killed a Blood Devouring Giant Bat, his blood would be absorbed by the blade of the giant bat, causing it to shine brighter and brighter.

Ye Daoxuan could clearly feel that as Mo Yu's Divine Punisher Blade continuously sucked in the blood of the Blood Devouring Giant Bat, the spirit of the blade spirit, "Old Mo", was recovering at an extremely fast speed. The power of the blade spirit's spiritual will had also reached the same level as that of a late Greater Celestial.

In their five-man team, Ye Daoxuan had killed the most Blood Devouring Bats. His battle prowess caused Yang Wu's group of four to have a whole new level of respect for him.

"Haha, Brother Ye, why don't we compete to see who kills more Blood Devouring Giant Bats?" Yang Wu's eyes lit up as he shouted.

"Alright." Ye Daoxuan replied.

The Spirit Treasure in his hand was a ten feet long silver spear. With each thrust of the spear, it was like the shine of a star. The starlight formed by the True Essence landed on the Blood Devouring Giant Bat, creating a large bloody hole.

Ye Daoxuan and Yang Wu brandished their broken sabers and brandished their silver spears, and engaged in a competition to hunt the Blood Devouring Giant Bat. As time passed, the ground in front of them was dyed red with blood, and the stench of blood filled the air.

The surging primeval essence filled the space of the Dark Forest, and waves of true essence shockwaves spread out in all directions. The strange thing was, those ancient trees that were more than three hundred meters tall, seemed to have received some sort of magical protection, and in this brutal war between man and bat, they actually weren't damaged in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Thousands of warriors had died, and the Giant Blood Devouring Bat had suffered even greater casualties. Tens of thousands of bat corpses were piled up on the ground.

"Retreat!" The Blood Devouring Giant Bat retreated! "

In the great battle, some unknown martial artist shouted out loud. Then, the Giant Blood Devouring Bats that were hovering above the martial artists' heads began to quickly retreat. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared before the martial artists' eyes.

The tens of thousands of warriors all breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them had suffered injuries in this battle. They began to swallow the elixir, circulate their mystical arts and sat down cross-legged to recuperate.

In Ye Daoxuan's five man team, other than Ye Daoxuan, who had the protection of the black armor shield, Yang Wu, Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian, and Ruan Zhilan all had varying degrees of injuries. Luckily, they were all light injuries.

After recuperating and recovering for two hours, Ye Daoxuan and the others continued their journey. With the Blood Devouring Giant Bat's example, every step they took forward was cautious and alert, just in case another large group of spirit beasts made a surprise attack.

The other candidates were the same.

Fortunately, the next wave of martial artists went deeper by a thousand miles. Although they encountered many strong spirit beasts along the way, the scale was not big. With tens of thousands of martial artists working together, the spirit beasts were either killed or escaped.

"Look ahead!"

"What's that?"

"It seems to be a corpse!" "There are people and spirit beasts as well …"

"Why are there so many?"

"God knows!"

While walking forward, all of the warriors who were walking in front suddenly pointed at the front with a surprised cry. Those who were walking behind didn't know what was happening and stopped in their tracks to look forward.

Although it was already dark outside, the warriors could still see a large number of white skeletons on the ground by relying on their super strong eyesight. They didn't know how many miles they had extended, and every white skeleton reflected a faint white light that caused one's heart to palpitate.

All of the martial artists were secretly startled. Carefully moving forward, their feet stepped on the skeletons that were scattered everywhere. From time to time, the crisp sounds of bones breaking could be heard, and it was especially ear-piercing.

Ye Daoxuan used his spiritual will to pave the way, spreading out over five kilometers. Suddenly, he discovered that a large amount of black fog was silently surging over in the direction of the night wind.

This black fog was so strange that Ye Daoxuan's heart trembled. He immediately used a sound transmission secret technique to warn the four people of Yang Wu's group to be careful. At the same time, he also used the black armor shield to protect his body.

Besides Ye Daoxuan, there were also a few other powerful martial artists that discovered the abnormality and began to form true essence barriers to protect themselves. After all, in the Dark Forest, there were all sorts of unknown risks.

After a moment, a black fog surged out like a tide and appeared in front of all of the martial artists. At first, many of the martial artists thought that this was just ordinary miasma that could be blocked with a true essence barrier, but soon, someone discovered that something was wrong.

The group of warriors walking in front of the group of warriors was the first to come in contact with the black fog. Among them, the ones below the peak of the mid Greater Heaven stage, suddenly let out a short miserable scream, and then the other warriors saw that their flesh and blood seemed to have been cut off all of a sudden, leaving only their bones and bones lying on the ground like a pile of bones.

This turn of events made countless warriors absolutely horrified. Especially those who were weaker than the peak of the Mid Greater Celestial Realm, they retreated to the very end of this wave of warriors, hesitating and not daring to step forward anymore.

And those powerhouses with the peak middle Greater Heaven stage cultivation and above, although they had the protection of the true essence barrier, but when the black fog covered them, the true essence barrier around them was actually corroded by the black fog, emitting bursts of black smoke. They could only constantly drive their true essence, not causing the barrier to collapse, in order to ensure their own safety.

However, constantly using a true essence barrier like this also consumed a great deal of true essence. Many martial artists could only maintain their true essence by continuously swallowing pills, such as Origin Increasing Pills, in order to maintain their true essence.

Ye Daoxuan discovered that his Mystic Armor Shield was extremely useful in protecting the black fog that could corrode the zhen yuan layer. Thus, his earth attribute true essence spread out in all directions, enlarging his Mystic Armor Shield by several times, and shrouding it along with Yang Wu and the other two people.

When Yang Wu and the other three saw that Ye Daoxuan's earth-attribute true essence shield was not corroded by the black fog, they were amazed. The four of them immediately removed the true essence barrier around their bodies and swallowed the spirit pills to quickly restore their consumed true essence.

When this wave of martial artists walked out of the white skeleton region, arriving at an endless swamp, the other martial artists were all in miserable states. Only Ye Daoxuan's group of five was still unharmed and safe.

In the black mist, more than ten thousand martial artists had perished. At the same time, more than ten thousand martial artists had been forced back by the black mist. They had no choice but to temporarily leave the Forest of Gloomy and wait for news regarding the Bodhi Spirit Fruit.

"This is the Death Swamp!"

Looking at the swamp not too far away, a martial artist cried out, "That black fog that just passed through is coming from the Death Swamp! It is said that the Death Swamp is eight hundred kilometers wide, and lies in the core region of the Forest of Gloomy, and the legendary Bodhi Spirit Tree is in the core region of the Forest of Gloomy! "

"In other words, if you want to find the Bodhisattva Spirit Tree and obtain the Bodhi Spirit Fruit, you must pass through the Dead Swamp?" A warrior asked loudly.

The warrior who had spoken earlier nodded his head and sighed: "Indeed! Moreover, in this Dead Swamp, there was an unknown powerful spirit beast! If this wave of warriors want to pass through the Death Swamp, not only will they have to rely on strength, but they will also have to bet on luck! "

"We're already here, no matter what, I'm going to charge into the Dead Swamp. If I die, I die!"

"You're right, we will never give up!"

Under the encouragement of a few martial practitioners, the other martial practitioners were also aroused by the passion of their heroic spirit. The spirit artifacts in their hands were eager to give it a try.

In the swamp, there was a small island every 10 miles or so. Because a martial artist was suppressed by the rules of the heaven and earth in the Dark Forest, they couldn't control the divine rainbow to fly. They could only rely on the swamp level to move forward.

"Charge!"

After observing for a while, a team of dozens of warriors began to use their movement techniques. They trod on dead trees and broken branches everywhere in the swamp and rushed forward. The dozens of warriors moved like lightning and arrived on the first island in the blink of an eye.

When the other martial artists saw that the group of martial artists was fine, they all displayed their movement techniques and moved forwards in the swamp.

"Let's go as well! "Be careful, don't rush to the front!"

Ye Daoxuan whispered. The power he displayed earlier had made the four of them, including Yang Wu, wholeheartedly submit to him. Because of this, he had become the core of this team.
