Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#2843 - The Land of the End of Dharma

Half a month later, Jun Wuxie, Mo Qingli, and the Xuanming Serpent finally arrived near the coordinates.

This place looked unremarkable; besides the heavy fog, there was nothing to see.

Enshrouded in mist was a small mountain range, with relatively low peaks and sparse trees.

Such a place would not attract attention, as it appeared to be a land of depleted vitality.

If the heaven and earth vitality were abundant, the vegetation would naturally grow extremely tall and lush, rather than this desolate scene.

"Is this the place? But it looks too ordinary. Could there be hidden mysteries inside, or did Yuan Chu miscalculate?"

The Xuanming Serpent was losing confidence. He had been excited and full of anticipation along the way.

Because of this, he had run desperately those days, willing to exhaust himself to the point of foaming at the mouth.

Now it seemed that Yuan Chu had likely made a mistake, locking onto a barren land.

Wasn't half a month of long-distance running a waste of time and emotion?

"Shut up! What kind of person is Brother Yuan Chu? How could he possibly miscalculate!"

Mo Qingli couldn't bear to hear any words questioning Jun Wuxie. She glared coldly at the Xuanming Serpent on the spot, issuing a warning.

The Xuanming Serpent felt a chill on his neck, as if someone had placed a sword there.

With his strength, he was confident he could easily defeat this Su Qingqian.

But he inexplicably felt fear towards this Su Qingqian.

This woman was too cold, fierce and cold, and the way she looked at people was like looking at a corpse, especially when she was angry, her eyes and aura were terrifying, like a superior being overlooking all living things.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look first."

Jun Wuxie walked towards the low mountain range shrouded in mist.

When they reached the vicinity of the mountain range, about to enter the misty area, he stopped and signaled Mo Qingli and the Xuanming Serpent to go in first.

Afterwards, he used the power of runes to communicate with the earth's veins and erase the traces and aura of the three of them.

"Yuan Chu, is this useful?

If the Ghost Witch Clan's King of Geniuses can track this place, it means that the means we used to erase traces and aura when we left the mountain cave haven't worked at all.

Then, erasing the traces and aura here, I'm afraid it still won't have any effect!"

The Xuanming Serpent was very clever and quick-witted.

"Erasing traces and aura is not to prevent them from tracking us, but to delay the time it takes for them to find us.

We have arrived in the Unknown Region. If there are opportunities inside, we must leave enough time to obtain them."

"I see."

The Xuanming Serpent no longer spoke, but muttered in his heart, Unknown Region?

Does this place really exist?

Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?

However, he didn't say what was on his mind, worried about being reprimanded by Su Qingqian again. Being locked on by her cold aura was very uncomfortable.

… …

After entering the low mountain range, their figures quickly disappeared.

This mountain range was really too ordinary.

After entering, they couldn't even feel a trace of vitality.

Not only that, but here, even the Great Dao was imperceptible, and the order of heaven and earth had disappeared.

There was a very chaotic rule here, but it didn't have any impact on people.

This rule was not the chaotic order of heaven and earth, and it was even different from the order rules that Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli had felt in other worlds.

"This place is so strange…"

The Xuanming Serpent was very surprised that there was such a place in the world.

Having arrived here, he could no longer sense the Dao principles in his body.

Not only him, but Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli were also the same.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a Dharma-ending land within the Land of Forgotten.

Not only is it a Dharma-ending land, but it is also a Dharma-devouring land.

You cannot perceive the Great Dao, nor can you use any means related to rules, and any secret techniques will lose their effect."

"Brother Yuan Chu, I know about the Dharma-ending land. The vitality between heaven and earth is exhausted, and the Great Dao is high and imperceptible, which is called Dharma-ending.

I have heard of the Forbidden Law Land, but I have never heard of the Dharma-devouring land.

What is a Dharma-devouring land?"

Mo Qingli was a little curious, hearing the term Dharma-devouring land for the first time in her life.

"Yes, what is a Dharma-devouring land? There is no such thing as a Dharma-devouring land in my bloodline inheritance information."

The Xuanming Serpent was also a little confused, full of curiosity.

"What is Dharma-devouring? As the name suggests, it is the literal meaning.

Try releasing your mana and see."

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingli and the Xuanming Serpent immediately released their own mana.

The majestic mana dissipated directly the moment it left the body, as if it had been swallowed by the void, without a trace.

"This…"

The Xuanming Serpent was stunned, and then continued to release mana.

The result was still the same. The moment the mana was released, it disappeared directly.

He tried to release blood energy.

After trying, the blood energy could be released, but it was limited to being attached to the body surface, and could only be attached to the position close to the skin.

If he tried to release it further, it would be swallowed by the void.

"This ghostly place is too weird…"

The Xuanming Serpent was a little horrified, feeling strange in his heart, and inexplicably felt that this place was very gloomy and terrifying.

"This is great. I was worried that the people from the Ghost Witch Clan would chase after us and find the Unknown Region along our footprints. Once the news is passed back, it may bring big trouble.

Now it seems that it is basically impossible for them to find the Unknown Region through us.

Here, any secret techniques, any supernatural powers cannot be used, and divine sense cannot be used.

Cultivators, apart from being physically stronger and having greater strength, have no other means."

"Indeed, in such a special place, the people from the Ghost Witch Clan can no longer track us.

It's just that we can't use secret techniques anymore.

The Unknown Region you mentioned should be in a hidden state, so can we find it?"

The Xuanming Serpent was worried. If the people from the Ghost Witch Clan couldn't find it, could Yuan Chu find it?

After all, everyone can't use various methods anymore, and the rune path will also lose its effect here.

"You can't use secret magic powers, you can't use divine sense to perceive, you can't use pupil techniques, and you can't use rune path methods.

But I am a rune master after all. Even if I can't use the rune path, my observation of the terrain is far better than ordinary people.

You don't need to worry about this.

As long as the entrance to the Unknown Region is here, I will definitely be able to find it."

"But this place is so big, and our current speed has also dropped significantly. If we have to look for it little by little, how long will it take?"

"Go deeper into the mountains first.

If I'm not mistaken, the environment here may be related to the Unknown Region, and it will never form for no reason.

You guys follow me closely."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he continued to move forward. Mo Qingli reached out and grabbed his arm, walking side by side with him.

Not only was the environment special here, but it also gave her a sense of crisis.

She knew very well that this place was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Although the chaotic rules would not have any impact on people, and it was a Dharma-ending land, it seemed that there should be no danger, but she was still very cautious.

She didn't want to make any mistakes because of her carelessness, which would distract Jun Shen at that time.

"Xuanming Serpent, follow closely, and step in my footsteps. Remember that?

Otherwise, if something happens to you, don't expect me to save you."

"Hmph, who wants you to save me? Am I that不堪?"

The Xuanming Serpent felt that he was being looked down upon and was very unconvinced.

He said so, but his body was very honest, and his feet followed Jun Wuxie's footprints closely.

As he walked, a touch of white suddenly appeared in his sight.

It was a skeleton, very crystal clear and white, like carved from white jade.

Such a skeleton still maintained the color of white jade, but there were traces of age corrosion on the bones, covered with tiny holes.

"How could this be? Looking at these bones, its former self should have been a cultivator of a high realm, and should have maintained the immortality of the flesh after death."

The Xuanming Serpent was filled with doubts when he saw it. This skeleton was really too strange and did not conform to common sense.

"This place is relatively special, and time will be added to the body.

Even if a strong person in a high realm dies, it is still difficult to maintain the immortality of flesh and blood."

Hearing Jun Wuxie's explanation, the Xuanming Serpent was still puzzled, "Even if it is as you said, time will be added to the body, and the flesh and blood will rot, but why does his bones maintain the crystal jade color?

Since it maintains the crystal jade color, then why are there so many holes in his bones…"

"Look carefully. The holes on the skeleton, although they look like the erosion of time, are actually not.

If it is a trace of erosion by time, the size of the holes will definitely not be so consistent.

These holes all run through the bone layer and directly reach the bone marrow.

Although the naturally formed holes under the erosion of time will be similar in size, they will not be so regular."

"You mean, the holes on the skeleton have another source?

Was he killed here?

What kind of method would leave dense holes in every bone in a person's torso?"

"It should have been left by a creature."

Jun Wuxie walked closer, squatted down to examine it carefully, and his eyes slowly moved from the holes on the torso bones to the holes on the skull.

The holes on the skull were different from those on the torso.

There were very few holes on the bones, only a few, located on the crown of the head, the back of the head, and the temples on both sides.

There were only four holes in total, each the size of a little finger.

Hearing him say this, the Xuanming Serpent couldn't help but shudder.

If it was left by a creature, it would be too creepy.

How many creatures would have to drill into the body and penetrate the bones to form such a result?

In this Dharma Ending Region, a land that devours the Dharma, those who enter cannot use supernatural powers or secret techniques. Even their blood energy can only be released to the surface of their skin, greatly weakening its power.

If there lurked a group of creatures that liked to burrow into people's bodies, drilling into their bones to suck out the marrow, how terrifying would that be!

One must know that the person who died had a much higher cultivation realm than them in life, yet they still couldn't cope and died so tragically.

If they were to encounter such creatures, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Those creatures may not necessarily live in this Dharma Ending Land."

Jun Wuxie saw that the Xuanming Flood Dragon was somewhat apprehensive, and even Mo Qingli's expression had become solemn, so he couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

He stood up, no longer paying attention to the skeleton, and continued to head deeper.

After walking a distance, another skeleton came into view.

The situation was similar to the one they had seen before, still covered in tiny holes, with several thumb-sized holes piercing through the head.

The jaws of both skeletons were stretched to their limits.

This indicated that they were either terrified or in extreme pain before they died.

Subsequently, they encountered many corpses with roughly the same manner of death along the way.

The difference was that, judging from the aura of time on the corpses, some of these skeletons belonged to the same era, while others clearly spanned a larger period, not all victims of the same era.

The Xuanming Flood Dragon felt a chill down its spine, constantly observing the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a group of creatures would suddenly pounce on it.

For several days in a row, they only paused briefly to observe the skeletons, and did not stop walking at other times.

Finally, they arrived at the central region of the mountain range.

Along the way, they had seen a total of dozens of skeletons.

These skeletons all had the same cause of death.

At this moment, they stopped, looking at an ancient tree in front of them.

This ancient tree was considered relatively large in this mountain range, but not the largest.

They had seen many trees larger and taller than the one in front of them on the way.

This ancient tree was over ten zhang tall, with a very thick trunk, with a diameter of over one zhang.

A slender, jade-white skeleton was lying not far in front of the ancient tree, the dense holes all over its body shocking to the eye.

Judging from the skeleton, this was a female cultivator, her skeleton slender and elongated, but her death was extremely tragic.

Her hand bones were deeply inserted into the soil, indicating that she had endured immense pain before her death.

"Yuan Chu, are we still going forward?"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon felt a chill in its heart.

What it had seen along the way, coupled with the eerie feeling in this environment, gave even this Different Wasteland Ancient Blood Flood Dragon a creepy sense of horror.

Was the unknown region deduced on the map really a place hiding opportunities?

It felt that it was entirely possible that it was a terrifying death zone!

"No need to go forward, we've already arrived."

"Ah? Arrived?"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon looked left and right, its face full of doubt, "You don't mean to say that this is the unknown region, do you?

Or rather, the entrance to the unknown region is here?

But why haven't I seen anything?"

"This big tree is the entrance to the unknown region."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the tree trunk three zhang away in front of him, "This Dharma Ending Land doesn't have that kind of creature, so you don't need to be so vigilant right now.

Judging from this skeleton, she should have escaped from the unknown region.

It's just that the situation at the time was very serious, and she lost her life after coming out."

"Yuan Chu, I think that unknown region is really too creepy, everything is full of unknowns.

We only know about that kind of bone marrow-sucking creature so far, and that creature alone has already killed dozens of high-realm experts.

The unknown region doesn't know how many terrifying things there are like that creature, or even more terrifying things.

I think, can I consider giving up entering the unknown region?"

"The unknown region may indeed be filled with various dangers.

If you are unwilling to go in, you can return the way you came and leave this place.

You have already walked it once, you should remember the way you came, as long as you strictly follow the footprints you came from, there will be no problem."

"What, you want me to leave alone?

No, you send me!"

The Xuanming Flood Dragon had no confidence at all.

Once it took a wrong step, no one knew what terrible things would happen.

It didn't dare to try, wasn't that joking with its life?

"One round trip takes a month, you want me to send you, where would I have so much time?

If you don't want to go in, you can only return alone.

Or, you can wait for us to come back near this ancient tree."

"I… …"

The corners of the Xuanming Flood Dragon's mouth trembled, "Then I'll go in with you guys!"

In such a place, without Yuan Chu by its side, it understood very well that it would only be more horrified.

Returning alone was impossible, and waiting here alone was even more impossible.
