Chapter 801 - Grisly Forest

Chapter 801

(Unedited)

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The micro missiles that flew out from the giant mech blew away the remaining gold level fighters which only leave the four lords and the two women who were protected by the sacrifice of their men and by using their powerful artifacts.

Seeing the powerful attack from the golem, the six remaining people became vigilant.

With greed in his eyes, Ansen Wine suddenly waved a staff in the air, an energy ball made of powerful compressed wind began forming.

"You bastard! Die!" he shouted as he flung the compressed ball towards the golem (mech).

It flew directly towards the mech like a powerful cannonball. Shin Jiao upon seeing this, knew that it was not an ordinary attack. If the mech would be hit by that basketball size chaotic force, it would be destroyed and those two inside it would surely die.

Without a choice, he quickly moves to try to shield the mech from the powerful blast.

However, Shin Jiao was still too late as the chaotic spell suddenly reaches in front of the mech.

Young as he is, Im Ao has already experienced the vicissitudes of life. Hence upon seeing the attack on his monitor, he quickly activated the protective measure of the mech and tilted its huge body backward.

Ka-boom!

A loud explosion rendered the ground into ruins and the trees around that area were reduced to fallen logs as everything was devastated by the destructive might of the spell.

The five lords and the two young miss were helpless as they too were thrown by the destructive force of the spell.

Suddenly the mountainside began shaking as heavy rocks from the top began falling down the mountainside.

Seeing this scene, Leximin Jing and Vilma Song showed fear in their eyes.

The avalanche is something that they did not expect to happen.

They wanted to fly away; however, they soon discover that they seem to be unable to do exert their power at this time.

When they checked their surroundings, they soon noticed that the fog from below the cliff was actually disrupted and is now everywhere around them. This made them unable to use their powers.

This same scenario is happening to the four lords which were rendered helpless as they watched the lard boulders coming right at them.

"We have to jump! We don't have any other choice!" shouted Xiamen Gong as he gritted his teeth.

He glared at Ansen Wine because he thinks that it was his fault why this had happened.

As the boulders came crashing down, the six people did not have time to look for their opponent as they are busy saving themselves.

They did not have a choice but to enter the forbidden Land of Death and face the unknown threat that lies ahead of them.

…

Shin Jiao woke up with something heavy lying on top of him. With his suit activated, he carefully checks his status and found that everything is fine. He wanted to get up but it seems that the object lying on top of him is too heavy.

He found himself lying on the ground and with limited vision in his sight; he could see large trees and weird-looking shrubberies.

"Ugh… What happened? Where am I?" he thought as he began checking everything.

He discovered that this place does not have the universe's energy and something weird yet familiar is in the air. Inside his armor, he does not have a way to detect it, so he decided to open a small port and inhale a part of the substance in the air.

When it enters the armor, the expression of Shin Jiao suddenly changes.

This is because what he could actually feel is mana.

It was a nostalgic feeling, which brought back a lot of memories for him.

Since he already knew the energy, he began to slowly change his technique. Those who have no idea what mana is, and do not know Shin Jiao's style of cultivation, would have no choice but to start over again in this kind of environment.

However, for Shin Jiao, he could freely switch from using the mana in the air and the universe's energy inside the spheres in his dantian.

By doing this, he is able to switch from one power to another which is useful in any situation he is faced with.

Using the mana in the air, he began to inject power into the suit as he carefully changed its energy core. It took him a while before the suit was able to charge at around 50%.

With the suit powered up, he slowly put forth an effort and slowly lifted the object on top of him.

Crash!

Shin Jiao was able to see that it was actually the mech that Im Ao is piloting. The mech seems to have lost its power since it has entered this place. Shin Jiao has a conjecture that he is not inside the Land of Death.

He did not have time to think about anything else, he quickly opens the c.o.c.kpit of the mech to check at the people inside it.

As the c.o.c.kpit opens, he saw Im Ao and Im Jae showing panic in their eyes as they both look helpless inside the mech.

However, upon seeing the familiar suit, they seem to heave a sigh of relief.

"Are you two okay?" Shin Jiao said as he deactivated the suit.

"We are fine young master…" Im Jae replied.

"Yes, big brother… But I seem to… to have broken your toy…" Im Ao replied innocently.

Shin Jiao showed a faint smile on his face as he patted the head of the boy.

"It's fine… The two of you need to be ready. We have to leave this place…" Shin Jiao said as the three of them looks at the forest around them.

Shin Jiao absorbed the mech inside his dimension which he did not have any problem using as it already considered as part of his body and soul.

The three of them slowly walk through the forest away from the rubles and destruction.

They have already seen the cliff and for some reason, something is blocking anything that would try to climb it.

Without a choice, they have to go deeper into the forest. Shin Jiao has already scouted this area and is a bit familiar with where they should go.

The direction that they are walking is towards the first settlement that he saw when he scouted the area using 'the ball'.

While the three are walking cautiously, they suddenly noticed the sound of fighting.

Shin Jiao used his psychokinesis and scanned the area in front of them. From there he could see a woman with her robes tatters and is in a sorry manner while fighting against a centipede-like monster.

Shin Jiao immediately recognize her from her clothing. It was Nariz Gumal who disappears while they were in trouble.

He did not want to help this woman as she left them instead of helping them at that time.

"Big brother… what is happening?" Im Ao asked with a fearful expression.

"Sigh… someone is in trouble…" Shin Jiao said as he showed helplessness in his eyes.

Though he wanted to teach the woman a lesson for abandoning them, he did not want her to die. From the wounds on her body, he knew that if he did not step forward the woman would surely perish. And from what he knew in this place according to the story of the two, Nariz Gumal would surely die permanently.

Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal is struggling to defend herself from the monster in front of her.

When she left those three, she was determined not to look back and quickly search for her brother. The sinister energy inside of her is slowly growing. Even death and resurrection could not push it away. When she heard from the stories in the Long clan about the Land of Death, that it could be a way for immortals to die, she decided to go there as it could be a way for her to end her life.

Nariz Gumal lived a long and glorious life. She fell in love with a man who became her Dao Companion for hundreds of years. The two shared a good life, and she felt like her immortality is already complete. But it seems that for the man that she loved, it is not enough.

He desired more and wanted to be powerful. She supported him until he reached the pinnacle and became a saint ruler.

She was happy for him, she felt like she did the right thing in helping him.

But she soon found out that everything was a lie. He was only using her, and he has a deep secret. For centuries that they were together, she did not notice it, or maybe she was just blinded by her love for the man.

She knew that there is something weird about him. She knew that he has touched upon the taboo in the immortal land.

She knew that he is dealing with the shadow beings, and now she too was infected by their dark aura and was used to refine their evil plot towards the rest of humanity.

She came to this place because she felt sorry for her brother who wanted to warn her but was caught by the enemy. She came to this place to prevent her husband from using the refined dark aura inside of her and use it against humanity.

This is her only choice to atone for her sins. At least she would die with a clean conscience as she did not let the Shadow Beings prevail with their evil plot.

As Nariz Gumal watches her enemy take the final blow, she slowly closes her eyes.
