Chapter 3: Fierce Battle in the Forbidden Zone

Therefore, Lei Tiansheng brought Qin Ya to hide in Shanghun Mountain to avoid the pursuit of the Dantai Mansion

At the age of twelve, his grandfather led Lei Tiansheng into the Mountain of Mourning Souls and taught him the method to identify forbidden areas. As long as he did not venture into the forbidden zones and was not killed by the powerful beings within the mountain, he would be safe.

Whether it is the lightning-fast attacks of the phantom or the counterattacks of the emaciated old man, each will unleash different colors, rushing through the overwhelming mist, adding a few vibrant hues to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere, making it quite a sight to behold

It returned to its original state; although the fierce battle lasted for nearly one hour and was earth-shattering, the surrounding trees and weeds remained completely unharmed, as if nothing had ever happened

The sound of wailing arose punctually, and Lei Tiansheng had long since grown accustomed to it. Qin Ya had spent five nights here and had also adapted, yet the piercing wail still filled her with sorrow and compassion

Before the words had even settled, the eyes of the emaciated old man suddenly transformed into a ghostly green hue, startling Lei Tiansheng once again

According to legend, Shanghun Mountain was the site of a great battle between gods and demons in ancient times, making it a burial ground for these divine and demonic beings. Their vengeful spirits linger, and every night, they emit mournful and eerie wails.

In Lei Tiansheng's heart, a thought of despair flashed through as he pushed off the ground with both feet and once again swiftly retreated backwards

Amidst the eerie and terrifying atmosphere, there is a formidable presence that instills fear in all things, accompanied by a chilling aura of death. Yet, Lei Tiansheng remains unafraid, which is truly hard to believe

Some elderly villagers even claim that there were fierce battles of vengeful spirits on Shānghún Mountain, with sounds echoing for miles and shaking the surroundings. Just hearing the sounds of the vengeful spirits battling made them weak in the knees and tremble all over. Even the fiercest dog in the village would cower on the ground, shivering in fear

This is the end.

In an instant, the pair of eerie green eyes emitted two beams of ghostly green light, which shot directly into Lei Tiansheng's eyes

Moreover, Lei Tiansheng is already aware that the battleground is a forbidden area that must not be touched

... ...

Boom boom boom

On that night, Lei Tiansheng and Qin Ya were in a concealed cave high up on a cliff, enjoying golden roasted meat, the aroma of the meat wafting through the air, making one’s appetite stir.

From a distance, the emaciated old man appeared to be a solid entity, barehanded, fiercely engaged in combat with several ethereal figures

The once overwhelming mist has transformed into black, yet it cannot conceal the colors displayed by the attack.

Stealthily, Lei Tiansheng soon arrived at the place where the emaciated old man had fallen.

The fierce battle ahead is already quite bizarre, not only stirring up a chilling dark wind but also carrying an overwhelming power that compels all things to submit. Even amidst the howling dark wind, there is a thick aura of death intermingled.

"Sister Qin Ya, I will go and see if that old man has died in battle," said Lei Tiansheng as he quickly stood up and placed Qin Ya down in the cave.

Because this is a rare parting of the strongest, regardless of whether they are vengeful spirits or humans, it has ignited their more intense desire for power

This is a sincere emotion, cultivated over many years of living together.

The emaciated old man lay on the ground, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, with numerous deep wounds crisscrossing his body, exposing bone. He was covered in blood, gasping for breath, inhaling more than exhaling, as if he might suffocate at any moment

Shanghun Mountain, located in the vast expanse of the Western Regions, is a renowned and fearsome mountain. It is not only a forbidden place for ordinary people but also a restricted area for practitioners.

Since then, Lei Tian has become a frequent visitor to the Mountain of Mourning Souls, honing his physical body while battling the powerful beings within the mountain, consuming their flesh and drinking their blood to aid in the refinement of his physical form

At last, in that forbidden area, shadows of people surged endlessly, resembling a fierce battle of thousands, with sounds like rolling thunder, deafening and overwhelming. Lei Tian and Qin Ya had already covered their ears, as the ground trembled increasingly violently. The cave they were in was also shaking, with dirt and debris falling in a flurry, as if it were about to collapse at any moment

Lei Tiansheng immediately became excited: "Sister Qin Ya, this is a rare sight, let's go to the cave entrance and take a look!"

Lei Tiansheng nodded: "Not afraid"

"Did you see what just happened?" the emaciated old man asked coldly

At first, I was a bit scared, but later I was completely captivated by your fierce battle, and I no longer felt afraid. Old senior, your injury is quite severe; let me take you to receive treatment first

Lei Tiansheng was taken aback, quickly calming his mind. He forcefully turned his head, allowing his eyes to escape the direct glare of the old man's eerie green light. Only then did he regain his senses. He pushed off the ground with his feet and swiftly retreated, landing over one hundred meters away.

"Be careful, Tian Sheng," Qin Ya whispered.

Are you not afraid

The situation was exceedingly perilous; had he not timely evaded the direct gaze of the old man's piercing eyes, he would undoubtedly have met his demise

Even so, their eyes remained fixed on the fierce battle in the distance without blinking

Sister Qin Ya, could this be the manifestation of the formidable attack power of a powerful practitioner after breaking through to the Nirvana realm?

Lei Tiansheng turned back, looked at Qin Ya, and asked with concern: "Sister Qin Ya, are you alright?"

Does that emaciated old man not realize that the Forbidden Area of the Shattered Souls Mountain is densely packed, and that it is unintentional to venture into it

"Elder, are you alright?" Lei Tiansheng asked softly, standing several zhang away from the old man.

Qin Yawei was taken aback and replied softly, "Grandfather has never mentioned it, so I am not sure. However, logically speaking, it should be so." Qin Ya's voice trembled slightly, seemingly filled with great fear

Shall I carry you back to the dead corner of the cave

Wuwuwu ... ...

The emaciated old man was engaged in a fierce battle with several figures, the thunderous sounds echoing incessantly. A chilling wind surged, spreading to this place, causing the weeds to sway incessantly, rustling as they moved.

Is it true that Mount Shanghun is the burial ground of ancient gods and demons

The two individuals changed color

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the two had taken refuge in the Mountain of Lost Souls for five days. During this period, both practiced their respective skills without any delay.

Suddenly, a burst of colors emerged, dispelling the pervasive darkness. A figure shot forth, leaving a trail of blood in its wake, and ultimately vanished into the lush, dense forest

Lei Tiansheng was unaware of the truth behind these legends, but he was well aware that every night at Shānghún Mountain, there were indeed mournful and eerie wails, reminiscent of a person weeping, ethereal and elusive. The sound of the wailing seemed very distant, yet also appeared to be right beside him

The battle has lasted for nearly one hour and is still ongoing. Although the details of their attacks are not visible, the endless might displayed is truly awe-inspiring. The black color emanates a spectrum of colors, exuding a mysterious beauty that captivates the viewer endlessly

The thunderous attacks from both sides continued relentlessly, various colors shimmering in the misty haze, radiating forth, illuminating the night sky, dreamlike and ethereal, resplendent and dazzling

As the body fell to the ground, Lei Tiansheng turned and fled, but the blood-soaked old man had already silently laid across his path, gazing at him with eerie green eyes and a face twisted into a grotesque smile.

Is he a born ruler, unafraid of such a strange yet domineering aura, even while still very weak?

The emaciated old man is clearly just one person

Boom boom boom

A chilling and mournful sound, just as it emerged, produced a thunderous roar, reverberating through the heavens, causing the earth to tremble

In Lei Tiansheng's heart, an unprecedented thrill immediately surged forth, as the old man's eyes emitted a ghostly green light that seemed to threaten to devour his very soul. He trembled all over, feeling an overwhelming dizziness, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Lei Tiansheng and another person looked exceptionally excited, their faces filled with envy

As the questioning voice fell, the elderly man, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sat up. His cold, piercing eyes fixed directly on Lei Tiansheng, causing a jolt of fear in his heart

Is it true that the legends are real? Do the vengeful spirits of gods and demons in Mount Shanghun still battle each other?" Lei Tiansheng quickly regained his composure and asked Qin Ya softly.

However, the emaciated old man followed closely like a shadow, tightly trailing behind him. Even when he exerted the utmost strength of his physical body, he could not shake him off

Lei Tiansheng nodded repeatedly, rushed to the cave entrance, and cautiously dashed through the thicket at the cave's mouth, falling down.

Qin Ya also woke up: "These are all things said by the elders in the world, and they speak with certainty, so it should be true!"

Qin Ya spoke in a trembling voice, yet her heart was filled with astonishment; she truly did not expect that Lei Tiansheng would show no fear at all, which was exceedingly abnormal

Lei Tiansheng and Qin Yazhen were shocked

This may be the great battle of the realm of gods and demons, a sight that countless people go their entire lives without witnessing. Let me see it! If I truly cannot bear it, I will have you carry me back again

That is the flesh of a powerful being killed by Lei Tiansheng. Although Qin Ya does not consume the fresh blood and essence of powerful beings as he does, the delicious roasted meat still has a significant enhancing effect on her cultivation.

At this moment, Lei Tiansheng had already returned to normal and gently nodded, saying: "I dare not conceal anything from you, esteemed elder; I indeed witnessed it."

However, in order to prevent Lei Tiansheng's powerful physique from being exposed in any way, Grandpa never allowed him to carry the beings he killed on Shangsoul Mountain down the mountain

The earth-shattering roar has ceased, and the land is enveloped in the silvery glow of the bright moon, becoming extraordinarily clear

Lei Tiansheng could be surprised by Qin Yafen's extraordinary cultivation, and she was equally excited by his exceptional abilities, for they both placed each other in a position of greater importance than themselves

When grandfather was around, he did not inform Qin Ya about many matters regarding cultivation. Faced with this reality, they were all very shocked, as well as excited, and extremely curious

Lei Tiansheng showed no hesitation, picked up Qin Ya, and sat down at the cave entrance, carefully pulling aside the weeds that concealed the entrance, gazing in the direction from which the loud noise came.

not the slightest bit afraid

Qin Yaqian smiled faintly: "Their attacks are sinister and eerie, sending chills down my spine. However, I can still endure it"

Mm. Qin Ya nodded lightly in response

Thousands of meters away, under the bright silver light of the full moon, there was a massive, hazy presence, surging endlessly like a stampede of ten thousand horses, resembling towering waves. Amidst the ominous atmosphere, several ethereal figures darted about like lightning, each wielding peculiar weapons, launching terrifying attacks against a gaunt old man.

At this thought, Qin Ya's somewhat fearful eyes couldn't help but brighten up

Lei Tiansheng had not yet reacted, but Qin Ya was trembling as the cold wind brushed against her body

Their attack speed is becoming increasingly rapid, their figures flickering, until it becomes impossible to distinguish who is who, and even more difficult to see their strikes clearly
