"The Heavenly Demon Mountains" can be known from its name to be a terrifying area. Whether in the north or throughout the fantasy world, it is a place classified as a forbidden zone. No monk can rashly enter and survive, no matter how powerful you are. Even the most powerful few in the fantasy world would not dare to venture into this place. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a master-level monk wanted to use his own power to pacify this terrifying forbidden zone. When he unleashed an incomparably terrifying power and was about to enter, a terrifying howling sound came from the mountain. The master-level figure instantly vanished into smoke. What kind of method could wipe out a master-level existence in an instant? Apart from the Fantasy God and the Heavenly Emperor, who else could do it! Since then, the Heavenly Demon Mountains have always been a forbidden zone in the monk's world, and the mountain did not harm the human world. Instead, it would protect ordinary people. Ordinary people, no matter what pain they suffer, as long as they enter the Heavenly Demon Mountains, they can receive the baptism of the Heavenly Demon, completely eliminate the pain, and even prolong their life. Therefore, although the Heavenly Demon Mountains have a terrifying reputation in the monk's world, for mortals, it is a sacred mountain.
All of these were what Ye Yi had heard from the elderly Mu Tian before. The Heavenly Demon Mountains only have restrictions on monks and should be fine for mortals. He believed that with his semi-mortal state, entering should not be a problem. His injuries were too severe. Although the meteorite helped him repair the hole in his heart that was stabbed by Ouyang, it did not completely cure it. Moreover, he had countless knife wounds on his body. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died hundreds of times by now.
He staggered into the mountains, and as soon as he entered, he felt a powerful force coming towards him. All the pores on his body seemed to be under attack. But soon, that force vanished.
"Of course, monks almost always die when entering." Ye Yi said to himself.
The intensity of that force was determined by one's own strength. This was Ye Yi's definition. If one's own strength was at the Gathering Essence stage, then there would be a chaotic stage around it that would attack the self. A force two levels higher would attack and was also omnipresent. How many people could withstand it?
"Whew! Fortunately, it didn't reach the Gathering Essence stage. Otherwise, I would have been here to say goodbye!" Ye Yi sighed in relief. If he became a Gathering Essence-level monk, he would have to withstand the chaotic stage or even a higher level of power. Not surviving was difficult!
After passing the first wave of the power of the Heavenly Demon Mountains, Ye Yi did not feel any other problems.
He walked slowly in the mountains, not knowing that at this time, the Heavenly Celebration Kingdom had already caused a big disturbance because of him. Several cities of the Heavenly Celebration Kingdom had already been plastered with Ye Yi's portrait. As soon as he appeared, he was likely to become the people's enemy. Even the royal family issued an order to arrest Ye Yi. The Heavenly Celebration was a small country, and the Ouyang family in the largest empire in the north was not at the same level. To put it bluntly, as long as the Ouyang family wanted it, the Heavenly Celebration would change its name to Ouyang from then on. Now, with such an opportunity to win over this huge family, how could they not seize it.
A person with a face mask covering his face, sneakingly walked out of a certain city in the Heavenly Celebration Kingdom. Immediately, he was caught. "He is Ye Yi. Don't let him escape!" With a voice, a group of people swarmed towards him. Finally, it was discovered that there was a mistake. It caused a wave of disturbance. The same thing happened in several small cities of the Heavenly Celebration Kingdom. The Ye Yi disturbance quickly became the headline news of the entire Heavenly Celebration Kingdom.
All of this was unknown to Ye Yi who was walking inside the Heavenly Demon Mountains. The Heavenly Demon Mountains were exactly in the border area of the Heavenly Celebration Kingdom. No one thought that Ye Yi would go there because it was truly a forbidden zone for monks. Ye Yi had defeated the Ouyang Zhi of the Yuan stage, and it had already been positioned as a powerful monk who hides his strength. How could he dare to enter the Heavenly Demon Mountains? Of course, this was all something they took for granted. Now Ye Yi was strolling freely in the Tianmo Mountains. The more he walked, the more energetic he felt, and the injuries on his body seemed to be gradually fading away.
"Really amazing!" he couldn't help exclaiming. Streams of star energy rushed into his body, and the powerful force began to heal his wounds.
"Never expected that the star essence could treat injuries!" Ye Yi was both surprised and relieved. If he could achieve great success one day, wouldn't he be able to fight while using the star essence to heal his wounds? This would be a great advantage! Unfortunately, the star essence requires great effort to reach its full potential, which is no less difficult than making a common person ascend to the heavens. Thinking of this, Ye Yi couldn't help but sigh. To achieve great success, it seems that he will never be able to do it in his lifetime!
On a small path, Ye Yi was walking quietly. His injuries had almost recovered. He was even more amazed by the magic of this place, which was filled with star energy, treating countless living beings. What a great virtue! He couldn't help but wonder why this place was called a forbidden area.
"This is!" Suddenly, another powerful force came towards him. This time, Ye Yi wasn't surprised at all and was blown off by that force, landing heavily on the ground. He clumsily got up, with some grass still in his mouth.
"Damn it! What's going on!" He couldn't help cursing. Previously, he wasn't attacked by that force at all. What was going on this time!
"That force!" Ye Yi closed his eyes and began to trace the source of the force. It was the star essence, and he could sense its origin!
"Over there!" Ye Yi's eyes suddenly opened. He sensed a powerful star force intensifying nearby. He hurriedly followed his sense.
Soon, a spectacular scene appeared before his eyes. "This, this is!" He was shocked. The scene before him was too terrifying. It was completely different from the beautiful mountains and clear waters behind him. A small river flowed with bright red blood, making it extremely glaring. That was the blood of a powerful being, and it was the blood of a star power being!
Based on his speculation, Ye Yi came to this conclusion. Even he himself felt terrified. He had seen the Elder Mu Tian from the Chaotic Stage and the Guo Zhi Patriarch, etc. However, the power of the Chaotic Stage was simply incomparable to the power of this blood. Although many people have surpassed the Chaotic Stage, this blood power is the star essence. According to ancient teachings, the star essence is at its strongest when it reaches the Nucleus Stage. And this power is far beyond the Nucleus Stage!
"Could it be that, apart from the Heavenly Emperor, there is someone with the complete essence of the stars!" Ye Yi couldn't help being astonished by his own thoughts. Since there was such a person, why was there no historical record of it? He firmly refused to believe that the blood in front of him belonged to the Heavenly Emperor. He still clearly remembered that the Heavenly Emperor died in a battle in the vast universe. Although it was a dream, he still firmly believed that it was true.
"Ah, forget it. Let's just see how to get out of here." Ye Yi let go of his shock and decided to start walking again. Although it might be a great opportunity, he didn't know how to seize it. He couldn't act like the novels described, jumping into a blood pool and then transforming completely. It was too risky. He might die and never know how. He only believed that fate would bring them together again when the time was right. If it was, this great opportunity wouldn't be something he could obtain.
He continued walking, enjoying the scenery that the monks couldn't appreciate. The chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, a green grassland spread out on the ground, some small animals playing and having fun on it. It was a harmonious scene. Ye Yi couldn't help thinking of his hometown, Earth. A beautiful planet, but unfortunately, he might not be able to go back this lifetime and couldn't enjoy the beauty of Earth anymore.
As he walked, Ye Yi felt increasingly strange. Although this area was inaccessible to monks, at least ordinary people could come in, right? But there was no trace of anyone having walked here. Although the scenery was beautiful, the grassland was not a bit messy. He looked back at the place he had walked through, the wild grass scattered here and there, leaving a trail made by his feet.
"Why, no one has come here!" Ye Yi muttered to himself. He kept recalling the path he had taken, the previous section clearly had someone's footprints, but then he unconsciously lost all traces.
"This is, what's going on!" He had a tingling feeling, his body was cold. As an Earthling, he had seen many ghost stories or horror movies. Alone, as he walked, suddenly he found himself in a place with no people. Then, that place was originally very beautiful, but soon, one after another terrifying ghosts would appear, leading him to hell!
"Hey! Ye Yi!" A clear voice came. Ye Yi's heart jumped with fear!
"Oh my god! Could it really be that there are ghosts?" He trembled and turned his head. Compared to the composure he showed when facing that Prince Ouyang before, this was two completely different extremes.
"Hey! Ye Yi, why don't you pay attention to me anymore!" The voice came again.
"How does it sound familiar?" Ye Yi felt that this voice was very familiar and warm, like...
He suddenly turned his head, taking a chance. After all, if it was a ghost, it would die anyway. It would be better to recognize which ghost killed him.
And at that moment, he froze.
"Xiao Yu! Why is it you!!!"
