Chapter 378 – Sunset Swamp [6K Big Chapter]
Chapter 378 – Sunset Swamp [6K Big Chapter].
In the time that followed, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan rode the Yuan Land Dragon and explored this Sunset Dense Realm.
They passed through the Flying Red Green Forest, the Golden Autumn Canyon, and finally arrived at the core of the Sunset Secret Realm, the Sunset Swamp.
This was a place that was perennially in a place that was illuminated by the evening sunset.
From a distance.
The large, golden-colored sunset sprinkled diagonally, rendering everything around it, golden.
From the looks of it, the scenery indeed appeared extremely beautiful.
However, all the people who entered this Sunset Realm this time knew that this Sunset Swamp was precisely the most dangerous place in this Sunset Realm.
No matter who, as long as once set foot in the sunset swamp, then your body will be a mysterious force confinement of mana.
You will not be able to utilize your divine abilities, magic treasures, or even spells.
Completely, can only rely on their own power to move forward.
Moreover, everyone, once entering the Sunset Swamp, the time must not exceed one hour.
As long as more than one hour, then no matter who you are, will be forever left in this sunset swamp, no one can be an exception.
Perhaps someone will ask.
Why come to such a weird and dangerous place?
The answer is simple.
That is to reap the rewards.
As long as you can enter this Sunset Swamp, no matter who you are, you will be able to harvest a share of your own from it.
The only difference was that the things you harvested were good and bad, precious and ordinary.
Legend has it that there was once even someone, within this Sunset Swamp, who obtained a Falling God Fruit.
This was a supreme treasure that could allow you to reach the Transformation God Realm straight away.
As long as your cultivation reaches the YuanYing realm and you take that Falling God Fruit, then you will be able to achieve the Transformation God on the spot, and you will not experience a human catastrophe.
Because it is a matter of an instant.
Even if someone wanted to come and block the path, it would simply be impossible.
The only drawback was that the Transformation Spirit after utilizing this item to advance would forever remain at the realm of early Transformation Spirit, never to advance again.
But looking at the entire Nine Yuan Immortal Cultivation World, how many YuanYing cultivators were able to successfully break through to the God of Transformation in the end?
Not to mention other things, just the late stage of YuanYing is a hurdle that many YuanYing cultivators will never be able to move past.
However, as long as you take the Falling God Fruit, regardless of whether you are an early YuanYing or a mid YuanYing, you will instantly enter the late YuanYing stage, and then reach the God of Transformation.
May I ask, which YuanYing cultivator could resist such temptation?
Even if your future cultivation would forever remain at the early stage of God Transformation, it would still be impossible to block the enthusiasm and desire of many cultivators.
At this moment.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan then saw that within that Sunset Swamp, there were already many people that had begun to search within it.
Among them, there was no lack of YuanYing cultivators.
Buzz!
Suddenly, an intermediate Jindan cultivator’s body violently exploded with an extremely dazzling light.
That was clearly the vision that arose after he had acquired the treasure.
“Hahaha!”
That mid-Jindan cultivator laughed violently and excitedly.
Only to see that in his hand, at some point, there was clearly an extra strain of Infant Condensation Grass.
That was the main ingredient for refining the Infant Condensation Pill.
This kind of treasure, for a Jindan cultivator, could definitely be considered a heavenly harvest.
Only, getting the treasure is one thing, whether or not you can successfully bring the treasure you got out safely is another matter.
Because in this moment of effort, in that Sunset Swamp, there will be no less than ten or twenty Jindan cultivators, will be greedy eyes, looked toward the Jindan middle stage cultivator.
Among them, there were also several cultivators at the False Infant realm.
Even the several YuanYing True Lords in the distance had cast their gazes at the mid-Jindan cultivator.
This caused the mid-Jindan cultivator to instantly feel a pot of cold water pouring down from the top of his head.
It made him feel an icy chill from head to toe.
He knew that this Infant Condensation Grass in his hand would most likely not be able to keep it.
But just at that moment, a miserable scream suddenly broke the crowd’s attention to that mid-Jindan cultivator.
Everyone looked in the direction from which that miserable scream had just been emitted.
Only to see that in that place, a huge pincer that was brown in color, with a metallic luster reflecting on its surface, and shaped like a sickle, had actually lifted a False Infant Cultivator into the air.
Immediately afterward, a click was heard.
The giant pincer violently closed.
In an instant, blood flew.
That False Infant cultivator’s body was clamped in half on the spot.
There wasn’t even the slightest bit of resistance left.
Clatter…
At the same time.
Below the False Infant Cultivator who was caught in half, the swamp suddenly began to surge dramatically.
Just as his body, which had been caught in half, fell, below the swamp, it was as if there was an invisible giant mouth that, with a thud, directly swallowed it all.
“Hiss!”
This scene could not help but cause everyone present to violently suck in a mouthful of cool air.
Terrifying, just too terrifying.
One must know that just now, that was a False Infant Cultivator.
Even though everyone was restricted in their mana, divine abilities, and magic treasures.
However, the physical body of a False Infant Cultivator was not something that anyone could destroy so easily.
However just now.
The other party was just like an ordinary mortal, without the slightest bit of resistance, and was cut in two by the owner of that giant pincer.
Dying without a shred of value.
At this moment.
But all those who remained within that Sunset Swamp, all of them were all pumped up.
The limbs were even taut.
It was as if as soon as something was wrong, they would choose to evacuate at the first opportunity.
Especially those who had already harvested something within the Sunset Swamp.
They were even more afraid to continue risking their lives here, and quickly chose to disembark.
However, what they didn’t expect once again was that just as these cultivators who had already harvested something in that Sunset Swamp, the moment they disembarked, there were suddenly a lot of people on the side, launching a sneak attack on them.
For a moment, all sorts of spells, divine abilities, and magic treasures, were whistling towards them.
In the twinkling of an eye, there were quite a few people who died in the midst of this surprise attack.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan just watched.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this Sunset Swamp was a Cultivation Ground.
Those who wanted to search for treasures entering that Sunset Swamp could be said to be gambling with their own lives.
However, that’s not all.
When they went ashore with what they had gotten in the Sunset Swamp, they also had to face a surprise attack from those cultivators on the shore.
If they could withstand it, they would be able to take the things and live.
If they couldn’t, then naturally, there was nothing to say.
“How about it husband? Do we want to go down now?”
At this time, Shen Ruyan turned her head to Jiang Chengxuan and opened her mouth to ask.
Jiang Chengxuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
“Well, let’s just take Little Yellow down with us.”
After saying that, the couple didn’t hesitate and immediately drove the Yuan Land Dragon, heading towards that Sunset Swamp.
The commotion on their side naturally attracted the attention of many people present.
Everyone couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Especially when everyone, upon seeing that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan still had their mounts with them, and were going to enter that Sunset Swamp together, many people couldn’t help but show a look of dismay on their faces.
But very quickly, there were people present who seemed to have realized something, and their eyes couldn’t help but all light up slightly.
Yes.
Bringing a mount along with them into that Sunset Swamp, wouldn’t that give them an extra helper?
Perhaps, they would even be able to utilize their mounts to find one more treasure.
Why hadn’t they thought of that before?
At this moment, many of the people present who had not yet entered that Sunset Swamp could not help but have the desire to tame a mount arise in their hearts.
Only, whether or not it was feasible to enter the Sunset Swamp with a mount would have to depend on what happened next on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s side.
At this moment.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already entered the Sunset Swamp on the Yuan Land Dragon.
Having just entered the Sunset Swamp, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could clearly feel it.
There seemed to be some kind of rule that descended on them.
It made the mana in their bodies, at this moment, be firmly locked in their bodies, with no way to invoke it at all.
At the same time, they also understood from this change.
This place could only be entered once per person.
And the maximum amount of time they can stay here cannot exceed one hour.
Otherwise, something extremely terrifying would happen to them.
This kind of thing, if they were ordinary YuanYing cultivators, their overall strength, not to say completely disappeared, but ten to eighty-nine is absolutely there.
But for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
With their mana locked up, although they were unable to call upon their full strength at their peak.
But thereby retaining half of their strength at their peak was still almost there.
After all, in this place, Jiang Chengxuan’s physical body cultivation, as well as all the talents he possessed, would not be restricted.
Similarly, Shen Ruyan’s talents, as well as the True Thunder God Seal she possessed, were likewise not restricted.
At a critical moment, she could completely thunderize her own body.
Attacks on the physical level could not possibly hurt her at all.
As for the Yuan land dragons beneath them, there was even less to say.
As a ferocious beast, its physical body was originally one of its most powerful means.
With this, it could crush many relatively ordinary YuanYing cultivators.
Clatter… clatter…
The swamp, which was like mud, was splashed everywhere by the Yuan Land Dragon.
It walked through this area as if it wasn’t much affected by this environment at all.
Without a moment’s effort, it was seen suddenly lowering its head and violently scurrying within that swamp.
It was accompanied by a clattering soft sound.
A piece of spirit stone that emitted a rich spiritual qi was then taken out by it.
And seeing the piece of spirit stone that the Yuan Land Dragon had taken out, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who were sitting on its back, both froze violently.
Located within the Sunset Swamp, as well as those cultivators on the shore, each and every one of them stared wide-eyed, and even immediately surfaced on the face of an extremely strong color of greed.
“Extremely high grade spirit stones, actually extremely high grade spirit stones!”
No one had thought that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had just gotten down to the Sunset Swamp not long ago, but they had actually harvested an Extreme Grade Spirit Stone.
And it was still obtained for them by that mount of theirs.
At this instant, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could clearly feel that there was a gaze full of malice and greed around them, falling onto their bodies.
Just for these gazes, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t care.
They were seen continuing forward.
According to the rules of the Sunset Swamp here, the further in they went, the deeper they went, the better the things they could get.
Similarly.
The deeper you go, the greater the danger you may encounter.
Boom!
Finally.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had gone deeper for about half a quarter of an hour, a huge tentacle that appeared grayish-white in color, with countless black suction cups on its surface, accompanied by barbed spines, swept towards Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
“Roar!”
Seeing this, in the mouth of the Yuan Land Dragon, an angry roar was instantly emitted.
In the next moment, its enormous claws probed out.
With a bang, it tightly grasped the tentacle.
Zilla-
Just at the moment when the Yuan Land Dragon’s claw, grabbed that tentacle, all those suckers and barbs on top of the tentacle, all of them madly surged towards the Yuan Land Dragon’s claw.
However, what the owner of this tentacle did not expect was that those suckers and barbs on the claws of the Earth Dragon were unable to pierce through the epidermis under its claws.
It was directly splattered with a series of sparks.
It was also at this moment that the Yuan Land Dragon lashed out.
A tearing sound was heard.
The tentacle that was already wrapped around its claws was actually torn off by it.
“Roar!”
In an instant, below the swamp, an agonizing hiss came out violently.
Immediately afterward, it was as if the tentacle owner was completely enraged.
A series of poofs were heard.
In an instant, nearly hundreds of tentacles actually scurried out from underneath the swamp and swept towards the Yuan Land Dragon, as well as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan on its back.
At this moment, many people present couldn’t help but hold their breath.
Because in their senses.
The power of those tentacles in front of them had already reached the mid-fifth stage level.
In a situation where one was unable to use their own mana, even a great cultivator would be in considerable danger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just an instant, the massive body of the Yuan Land Dragon was completely wrapped by those tentacles.
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but have a thought rise up in their hearts.
Those two people they were finished!
Not far from the shore.
Nangong Hai and Nangong Yao, who had already changed their faces and had just arrived here, could not help but both change their faces slightly when they saw the scene in the Sunset Swamp in front of them.
Nangong Yao immediately transmitted a voice to Nangong Hai, “Brother, that was Jiang Chuan and Daoist Shen Yan just now, right?
They are surrounded by the monsters in that swamp, should we step in and help them?”
Hearing his own little sister’s words, Nangong Hai’s eyes flashed with a wise light.
Only to see him shake his head and say, “Don’t worry Xiao Yao, they will be fine.”
As soon as the words fell, he saw that within that Sunset Swamp.
The Yuan Land Dragon, which had already been wrapped into a dumpling by the roiling tentacles, suddenly burst out with an unimaginably terrifying power.
It could be seen that those tentacles that were wrapped around it, as well as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan on it, suddenly began to tremble.
And this trembling, as time went on, became more and more violent.
In the end.
In everyone’s ears, they heard a loud sound that sounded like thunder.
A rumbling sound.
All the tentacles, at this moment, all exploded and broke in unison!
Wow…
At this moment, the sky above the Sunset Swamp was like a rain of blood.
Along with those shattered tentacles, a look of surprise could not help but appear on everyone’s faces.
No one had expected that facing a situation like that, Jiang Chengxuan and the others would still be able to get out of the trap.
Most importantly, looking at their situation today, they hadn’t suffered the slightest damage.
Nangong Hai and Nangong Yao were all secretly relieved.
It seemed that leading a high grade mount into that Sunset Swamp was really a very necessary thing.
So far, many people present had thought that the reason why Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were safe and sound before their eyes stemmed from that Yuan Land Dragon.
Wow…
It was also at this moment that Jiang Chengxuan suddenly was leaping into that swamp.
Buzz!
In an instant, the underside of the swamp violently began to roll violently.
Before the crowd who saw this scene could react, Jiang Chengxuan had already rushed out from within the swamp.
Only at this time, in his hands, there were clearly two more things.
One was a fifth-order demon baby that was struggling in his hands, but no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t break free from the restraints of Jiang Chengxuan’s palm.
The other item was a fifth-ranked top-grade spirit grass named Zi Huan Grass.
It was a spirit herb that could be taken directly by cultivators.
The function was to help cultivators quickly repair injuries on their bodies.
At this instant, everyone’s gazes couldn’t help but be attracted to the two items in Jiang Chengxuan’s hands.
Because whether it was that fifth-ranked Demon Infant or that fifth-ranked top-grade Zi Chang Grass, they were both unrivaled treasures.
The only thing that made the crowd a little suspicious was that the fifth rank demon baby in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand was obviously obtained from the monster that had just attacked them.
Just now, he had actually had a fierce fight with that monster, thus killing it and capturing the demon baby.
Or was it that the monster was already on the verge of collapse before that, and he had taken an advantage of it?
If it was the former, then all the people present would have to re-examine his strength.
If it was the latter, then they might still have some chances in a while.
Unconsciously, the gazes of many of the people present, could not help but flicker for a while.
Nangong Hai and Nangong Yao looked at those people, but in their hearts, they couldn’t help but sneer.
If they, in a moment, really took Jiang Chengxuan and the others, as soft persimmons, that would be a good show to watch.
This side.
Jiang Chengxuan casually put away the fifth-ranked Demon Infant and the fifth-ranked top-grade Zi Chang Grass after obtaining them.
At the same time, he and Shen Ruyan, also ordered the Yuan Land Dragon to continue on.
Clatter – clatter – clatter.
It was seen that the Yuan Land Dragon continued to advance.
After about half an hour or so.
Shen Ruyan suddenly ordered the Yuan Land Dragon to stop.
It was at this moment that a huge black tail suddenly flung itself out of the swamp and attacked Jiang Chengxuan and the others directly.
The Yuan Land Dragon was obviously also not expecting that it had not felt any danger just now.
If Shen Ruyan’s reminder had been a hair slower, then it was very likely that she would have, head on, crashed into the huge tail that flung out.
Thinking of this, the Yuan Land Dragon instantly became furious.
At that moment, it could not help but hiss.
The huge tail behind it was also flung up.
Crackle-
A terrifying sonic boom suddenly emanated from the air.
The two giant tails suddenly collided in the air.
In an instant, a circular wave of air violently spread out in all directions with the two giant tails touching as the center of the circle.
A series of booms were heard.
The swamp below suddenly lifted up sky-high waves one after another.
It was also not until this moment that the people on the shore could see clearly.
What appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan and the others was a giant crocodile with a pitch-black body.
The two behemoths fought to the death.
For a while, blood and gore flew everywhere.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity and violently scurried within the swamp.
In about a moment’s time, by the time the two reappeared, in their hands, they actually each had one more thing.
A round jade pendant and a fist-sized purple stone.
The two could not help but glance at each other.
From each other’s eyes, they saw a flash of surprise.
This was because at this moment, these two items they had obtained were all Sixth Order treasures.
The jade pendant was the Xuanxin Jade, as long as you held this jade, you could resist all illusion attacks below the sixth rank, as well as those at the middle and early stages of the sixth rank.
As for the purple stone, it was a sixth rank Purple Electricity Crystal.
It can be incorporated into a fifth-ranked True Treasure to transform it into a Pure Yang True Treasure.
Not an exaggeration at all.
Just the value of these two treasures was already enough to cause the covetousness of a God Transformation Heavenly Monarch.
Fortunately, when they had obtained this item, the two treasures had not shown their true colors, so much so that everyone was unsure of what exactly were the two treasures that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had obtained at the moment.
“It’s almost time, let’s return.”
Jiang Chengxuan turned his head and spoke to Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan nodded, then looked towards Yuan Land Dragon who was still fighting with that giant crocodile.
“Little Yellow, it’s almost time, let’s go.”
“Roar!”
Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, from the mouth of the Yuan Land Dragon, a roar was once again emitted.
In the next moment, it actually hardened itself against that giant crocodile’s attack and quickly returned in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, then picked them up on its back and quickly ran towards the shore of the Sunset Swamp.
The giant crocodile at the back saw this, and naturally wasn’t willing to let Jiang Chengxuan and his party leave just like that.
Seeing this, it similarly raised its speed and rumbled down towards Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
When Jiang Chengxuan, who was sitting on the back of the Yuan Land Dragon, saw this, he immediately frowned.
In the next moment, he slowly stood up, then raised his hand and clenched his fist.
There was a rumbling sound.
A Zhen Demon Imperial Dao Fist was directly struck with his strong physical body.
In an instant, the giant crocodile that was chasing after them, its entire huge body was directly sent flying, falling far out towards the back, and eventually, with a rumble, it directly fell into that swamp.
“What?”
This scene immediately caused those who were watching to be taken aback.
What exactly did they all see just now?
That person, he had actually used the strength of his own physical body to send a giant crocodile of the fifth rank like that flying.
Just how strong did this have to be to be able to do that?
For a moment, all the gazes that looked at him, Jiang Chengxuan, couldn’t help but change.
It could be clearly seen that just in this instant, some of the people who had already surrounded his path immediately retreated as quickly as a mouse seeing a cat.
Jiang Chengxuan also ignored those people.
Straight away, he drove the Yuan Land Dragon and leapt onto the shore of that Sunset Swamp when an hour was approaching.
