Chapter 600: Sunset Marsh

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the following days, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan rode the earth dragon, exploring the Sunset Secret Realm.

They passed through the Crimson Green Forest and the Golden Autumn Canyon, eventually reaching the core of the secret realm, the Sunset Marsh.

This place is constantly bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

From a distance, the vast swathes of golden sunlight render everything a brilliant gold.

The scenery is indeed beautiful.

However, everyone who enters the Sunset Secret Realm knows that the Sunset Marsh is the most dangerous area in the realm.

Anyone who steps into the Sunset Marsh finds their Dharmic power mysteriously inhibited.

They cannot use divine powers, Dharma treasures, or spells and must rely solely on their physical strength.

Moreover, once in the marsh, one must not stay for more than two hours.

Exceeding this limit means being trapped in the marsh forever, with no exceptions.

One may ask.

Why would anyone venture into such a perilous and strange place?

The answer is simple: the rewards.

Everyone who enters the Sunset Marsh can gain something, though the nature and value of these gains vary.

Legend had it that someone had even obtained a Fallen God Fruit in the Sunset Marsh.

This was a supreme treasure that could allow one to reach Soul Formation.

As long as your cultivation reached the Nascent Soul and you consumed the Fallen God Fruit, you could reach Soul Formation without needing to experience the Human Tribulation.

Because this advancement happened in an instant.

Even if someone wanted to stop you, it was impossible.

The only downside was that after using this item to advance to Soul Formation, you would forever be stuck at the early-stage Soul Formation and would never have the chance to advance.

However, in the entire Nine Essences cultivation world, how many Nascent Soul cultivators could successfully break through to Soul Formation?

Not to mention anything else, just the late-stage Nascent Soul alone was a hurdle that many Nascent Soul cultivators would forever cross.

However, as long as you consumed the Fallen God Fruit, no matter if you were at the early-stage or mid-stage of Nascent Soul, you would instantly step into the late-stage Nascent Soul and reach Soul Formation.

This was a temptation irresistible to almost all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even if your cultivation in the future would forever be stuck at the early-stage Soul Formation.

At this moment.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw that there were already many people searching in the Sunset Marsh.

There was no lack of Nascent Soul cultivators among them.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator burst into a dazzling radiance, a phenomenon indicating the discovery of a treasure.

“Hahaha!”

He laughed excitedly, holding a Nascent Condensation Grass in his hand.

That was the main ingredient to refine the Nascent Condensation Pill.

Such a treasure was definitely a huge gain for a Golden Core cultivator.

However, obtaining the treasure was one thing. Whether he could successfully bring the treasure out safely was another.

Almost instantly, about twenty Golden Core cultivators in the marsh, including a few False Nascent Soul cultivators and even some Nascent Soul cultivators, set their greedy sights on the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The sudden attention turned his triumph into dread.

He realized that the Nascent Condensation Grass in his hand was very likely to be snatched away lost.

However, at this moment, a scream diverted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked in the direction of the scream.

There, they saw a giant, brown, metallic-sheen pincer, resembling a scythe, lifting a False Nascent Soul cultivator into the air.

Then, there was a click.

The huge pincer suddenly closed.

In an instant, blood splattered.

The False Nascent Soul cultivator’s body was clamped into two on the spot.

He did not even have the slightest chance to resist.

Rustle—

At the same time.

The swamp beneath the bisected cultivator churned violently.

As soon as the body parts fell, they were swallowed whole by mouth-like things beneath the marsh.

“Hiss!”

This horrifying scene made everyone gasp in shock.

Terrifying, it was really too terrifying.

One had to know that that was a False Nascent Soul cultivator just now.

Even though everyone’s Dharmic power, divine powers and Dharma treasures were restricted,

However, a False Nascent Soul cultivator’s body was so easily destroyed.

Yet he was effortlessly cleaved in half and devoured.

At this moment.

Everyone who was still in the Sunset Marsh was on high alert.

Their bodies were tense..
