C599 The Forbidden Area
"This time he's dead for sure. He's too worthless." The Golden Lion was filled with grief and indignation.
Heiye also sighed, "What a pity, just a few years more and I'll be able to..."
The situation was critical to the extreme. At the most critical moment, Hong Zheng let out a loud roar. The tip of his right finger lit up again and again, pointing at the three of them. "Freeze! Freeze! Stabilize!"
He activated the Body-Freezing Technique. Divine force crazily surged, and the tip of his finger shone, illuminating the void.
The three people's falling bodies were immediately frozen in the void, not moving at all. Hong Zheng pointed at the vortex beneath his feet again and shouted, "Freeze!"
The vortex seemed to have been frozen, the black airflow inside had stopped moving. After that, Hong Zheng straightened his body and pulled out his left foot. With a wave of his hand, he held Heiye in his hand. He held onto the Golden Lion and the Black Tortoise. He placed them on his shoulder. His body shone crazily, leaving behind an afterimage on the spot. His feet moved continuously, and when he reappeared, he had already crossed the whirlpool region.
Hong Zheng turned around and looked behind him with lingering fear. "That was close."
The Golden Lion gasped for breath. A look of relief appeared in its eyes. "That was really close. I almost died."
Dark Night looked at Hong Zheng with sparkling eyes and smiled. "The divine ability you used just now was very strange. It could actually freeze us, and even the vortex."
The Golden Lion and the Black Tortoise's bodies paused. When they thought about it, they found it unbelievable. Both of them raised their heads and looked at Hong Zheng. "Kid, how many trump cards do you have left?"
Hong Zheng said, "The more skills you have, the less pressure you will have."
Golden Lion was silent for a moment. He looked around and then smiled bitterly. "We have entered the forbidden area."
Hong Zheng also felt that something was wrong. The divine power in his body was rapidly flowing away, and his cultivation level was slowly fading away.
"Forbidden area." Black Tortoise's expression changed.
What appeared before him was a completely different world.
Blood and sand filled the sky. Three suns hung in the sky, extremely hot. The space in the distance was distorted, steaming hot. After a while, everyone felt their mouths go dry, and the water in their bodies was rapidly flowing away.
"What should we do, retreat or do we do?" Heiye asked.
Behind them, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching. It was Yuwen Gu. He was also rapidly approaching this place.
"Let's cross over." Hong Zheng carried the night sky and brought a few people forward.
The blood-red sun was incomparably vicious, shining on their bodies. Heat waves rolled around their bodies, making them feel extremely uncomfortable. The sand on the ground was boiling hot. When they stepped on it, even their shoes were almost burnt.
Three days later, the cultivation bases of these people all disappeared, no different from ordinary mortals. This was especially the case for Hong Zheng and the night sky. Their lips were cracked and cracked, and their faces were pale. When the sweat on his back appeared, it immediately evaporated.
"Ordinary mortals wouldn't even be able to live for two hours after entering this place." Hong Zheng said to himself. He felt as if his throat was about to emit smoke.
"While that fellow is still weak, let's go and get rid of him." The Golden Lion looked back. Three miles away, Yuwen Gu's figure had also appeared.
He walked slowly, but he still had his cultivation base. Because he was standing on a stone plate, looking at them with a cold smile, "You can't leave."
The few of them then increased their speed, abandoning the idea of turning back and getting rid of him.
Another three days passed. Hong Zheng was extremely weak. He usually did not even look at fresh water. Now, he really wanted it. The Golden Lion was so weak that it could not speak.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die." The Black Tortoise was a water-kind creature, and this kind of extreme environment was extremely unfavorable to him. He shrunk back into the turtle shell. His limbs were all cracked and wrinkled.
The bones on his legs were burned black by the sun. He had fallen into a deep coma, and his lips were pale.
"This is bad, she can't hold on much longer. In this kind of extreme environment, even the Primordial Spirit is about to evaporate." The Golden Lion opened its eyes and spoke with great difficulty. As soon as it spoke, it felt a sharp pain in its throat.
"This girl seems incomparably weak, but also seems to be sleeping. Her condition is very strange. But no matter what, this kind of extreme environment is extremely unfavorable to her." The Black Tortoise coughed, almost tearing its throat apart.
"Stop." Hong Zheng said. He also felt very uncomfortable. With the forbidden zone and the extreme environment, even a Heaven Connecting Great Stage warrior would be able to enter without any preparation. In the end, even the Primordial Spirit might be evaporated.
Everyone looked at Hong Zheng.
Hong Zheng sighed. Then, he took out three drops of Monarch Dao Sweet Dew and flicked them into their mouths. He also swallowed one drop.
The Golden Lion was stunned. It gave Hong Zheng a deep look. After that, it sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining the Monarch Dao Sweet Dew. In an instant, he felt as if a huge river was surging within his body. His meridians, flesh, and bones were all nourished, making him feel extremely comfortable.
The Black Tortoise was extremely happy, its entire body becoming moist.
As for the night, after consuming the Monarch Dao Sweet Dew, the flesh on its legs were rapidly regenerating. Its cracked lips became red and moist. She recovered from her hibernation state. She looked at Hong Zheng, smiled, and did not say anything.
Hong Zheng also swallowed a drop. He felt as if he had jumped into a clear and deep pond. His entire body felt cool, and he wished he could roar three times.
"The Monarch Dao Sweet Dew is enough to last for two months. Within two months, can we leave the restricted region?" Hong Zheng asked.
"More or less." The Golden Lion said.
Hong Zheng nodded. He looked at Yuwen Gu, who was getting closer to him, and a crazy look appeared in his eyes. A bold idea was forming in his mind.
In any case, this place was already a forbidden area. In the next two months, no one was allowed to use their magic power. That was why he prepared to scatter his cultivation and start anew. He was going to break through to the Penetrating Earth Great Stage. Back in the Exile Zone of the lascivious devils, Hong Zheng had decided. When he broke through to the Penetrating Earth Great Stage, he would disperse his cultivation base. First, he would use the Donghuang's system to break through to the Penetrating Earth Great Stage.
Wait! After breaking through to the Penetrating Earth Great Stage, he would once again become an observer.
This was a very time-consuming and laborious task, but it was extremely effective.
After that, under the astonished gazes of the few people, Hong Zheng began to disperse his cultivation. He was destroying his own cultivation base!
"Ah!" He raised his head and let out a roar. Countless symbols and immortal light rushed out from his body as he self-severed! The black lines and inscriptions on his bones began to crack, and his aura began to weaken.
Within the forbidden area, the Golden Lion and the others were surrounded by thick spiritual energy. This was what Hong Zheng had stored inside of him. Although he couldn't use it, it could be used to disperse.
Self-severing was a very painful process. Blood Mist appeared on Hong Zheng's body, continuously exploding. Blood flowed out from his seven orifices.
"What is he doing?" The Golden Lion's pupils shrank.
"Self-severing..." Heiye's eyes were deep. "Waiting for the next time when I'm reborn, my ambition will be great!"
