1788 Breaking the barrier (1)
In the vast and calm lake, a few huge creatures that were nearly 100 meters long, like colorful feathered snakes, were swimming slowly on the surface of the water. They seemed to be at ease.
In the sky above the lake, there were a few giant birds with a wingspan of more than ten meters, constantly chirping.
They seemed to want to capture the water beasts in the lake, but they were also afraid of the fierce beasts floating on the water. They circled around a dozen times before slowly leaving.
When the giant beasts in the water saw this, they raised waves proudly and continued to wander around the lake.
The lake was their territory. In this water, no fierce beast was their opponent.
“Pa”
Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake, and a fist-sized object hung on a thin thread fell from the sky, gently falling into the lake.
The whole process was like a mosquito swimming in water, not making much noise.
However, the huge bodies of the feathered snake-like beasts suddenly stiffened. They turned to look at the place where the thin thread fell, and their eyes flashed with excitement and greed.
“Roar ~~”
The ferocious beast in the water let out a sharp cry and went straight to where the silk thread was, raising a white line on the surface of the lake.
Then, the lake began to boil as countless aquatic creatures emerged from it and headed straight for the same spot.
It was as if the object hanging on the thin thread was the most delicious thing in the world, and he would devour it even if he had to risk his life.
A group of black shadows entangled with each other, neither giving way to the other. An intense battle also unfolded in the lake.
In the blink of an eye, blood-red waves appeared in the clear Lake. It was unknown how many fierce beasts had lost their lives in the fight.
Even though they were covered in wounds and had even lost their lives, these ferocious beasts in the water were still fighting for it with all their might, unwilling to take a step back.
In the process of fighting for it, the largest water beast finally had the advantage and snatched the fist-sized thing, swallowing it in one gulp.
However, before it could taste the delicious food, it felt a terrifying force pulling its head out of the water.
The giant beast in the water struggled with all its might, but it was of no use. In the blink of an eye, its body was pulled by the thin silk thread and completely suspended in the air.
This situation was extremely strange. The hair-like thread easily withstood the terrifying weight of the giant beast and pulled it toward the distant mountain peak.
Only then did the beasts in the water notice that there was a very small creature standing on the cliff at the edge of the lake.
Although it was not comparable to them in size, it emitted a terrifying aura that made the beasts shiver and scatter in an instant.
He was afraid that if he was too slow, he would end up in a similar situation.
Only the ferocious beast in the water that was caught by the thin thread was pulled towards the cliff and was finally suspended in the rapid flow of the waterfall.
Although he was still struggling, he couldn’t get rid of the thin thread’s grip. It was as if all his efforts were in vain.
“Although it looks ferocious, it’s the best delicacy. I didn’t waste my time.”
As he watched the huge beast in the water that was continuously struggling in the waterfall, Tang Zhen casually waved his hand and a metal pot suddenly appeared in the air.
“I’ve obtained this thing for many years, but I’ve never used it before. Today, I’ll try it and see if it’s as magical as the legends say.”
This pot looked ordinary, but it was actually a secret treasure.
It could become incomparably huge in an instant. The runic magic circle at the bottom of the pot used the energy of heaven and earth as fuel, and with a thought, it could produce a raging fire.
Using this pot to cook all kinds of heavenly treasures could make their taste incomparably delicious. At the same time, it could refine their essence to the greatest extent. After consuming it, it could help a cultivator increase their strength.
This was the war trophy that Tang Zhen had obtained back in the true immortal plane. However, he had never used it before. Today, he had seen the excellent ingredients in the huge Lake, so he had taken it out again.
With a wave of his hand, the giant beast in the water was cut open and its stomach was torn open. Then, it was washed clean by the rapid waterfall.
The next moment, the giant beast in the water was cut into pieces by an invisible force and fell into the big pot that completely filled the top of the cliff. The raging fire also started to burn.
A stream of clear spring water was poured into the pot, covering all the meat pieces in the water. Dense bubbles also rose slowly in the pot.
Not long after, a fragrance wafted through the air, making one drool just by smelling it.
As the meat was being cooked, the pot slowly shrank, and the essence of the vicious beast meat was being extracted.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He merely slowly controlled the flame. After nearly a day, the large pot finally became the size of a basin.
This hundred-meter-long giant beast was finally boiled into half a pot of fresh soup, and the taste was extremely tempting.
Fresh soup and fine wine, sitting on the peak of the mountain, watching the clouds rise and fall with a smile.
During this period of time, Tang Zhen had been busy fighting the torobo people and could not rest for a moment. Now, he finally had a chance to rest.
As there were no cultivators on the continent beneath his feet, it had always maintained its original and natural appearance. Being in such an environment made Tang Zhen feel extremely comfortable.
After enjoying the perfect meal, Tang Zhen set off once again and headed straight to the deep sea outside the continent.
With the speed of a sector Lord, even if this continent was 100000 miles long, Tang Zhen could still cross it in a short time.
It did not take long for Tang Zhen to arrive in the sky above the vast ocean.
It was unknown what kind of power had affected the ocean, but the waves here were turbulent, and violent storms appeared from time to time.
In the short time that Tang Zhen had arrived, he had already seen several terrifying tornadoes wandering around the boundless sea.
However, it didn’t take long for the sea to suddenly become as flat as a mirror. The apocalyptic scene from before seemed to be just an illusion.
interesting. It feels like this isn’t a natural force, but rather a man-made one.
After Tang Zhen said this, he continued to advance into the distance.
About half an hour later, he finally saw the energy field that the reconnaissance aircraft had discovered. It was like an invisible barrier that covered the entire continent.
Tang Zhen gave it a try and discovered that this barrier was not simple. Even with his strength, he would need to spend a great amount of effort in order to break it.
He was not in a hurry to break it to avoid triggering unknown changes. Instead, he dove into the deep sea along the barrier and confirmed that there was a barrier at the bottom of the sea.
They couldn’t even cross the sky and the sea. If they wanted to leave the continent, they could only force their way out.
After thinking up to this point, Tang Zhen returned to the surface of the sea and started to study how to break the energy barrier.
He spent three days in deep thought. During this time, he did not move at all, as if he was a wooden statue.
During this period, there were huge sea creatures that tried to attack him, but before they could get close, they were ground into flesh and blood by the invisible force.
The flesh and blood attracted the other sea monsters to come closer. After which, the previous scene repeated. Unknowingly, the sea around Tang Zhen was already covered with the corpses of giant sea monsters.
“I see, I understand.”
Tang Zhen, who was quietly sitting on the surface of the sea, suddenly opened his mouth. He extended his hand and gently waved it at the surface of the sea. The corpses of the sea beasts instantly turned into white bones, and the blood essence in their bodies gathered together.
Using the blood essence of these sea beasts as ink, Tang Zhen quickly drew several hundred runes and suddenly smashed them toward the energy barrier in front of him.
After these runes landed on the energy barrier, they were like dyes, causing the originally invisible energy barrier to be exposed.
This was not the only change. After a few dozen breaths, the impregnable barrier suddenly became much softer.
Tang Zhen extended his hand and pressed. That barrier appeared to be filled with elasticity as it tightly wrapped around his hand.
“It’s almost time!”
Tang Zhen’s voice had just sounded when his body suddenly retreated nearly a hundred miles. After which, he suddenly accelerated and charged toward the area filled with symbols with lightning speed.
“Pfft!”
It was just like a finger forcefully pressing against a balloon. The invisible energy that had transformed into a tangible form wrapped around Tang Zhen’s body, preventing him from leaving this sealed continent.
However, Tang Zhen was like an awl, focusing all his power on one point. The barrier couldn’t get any energy, so it naturally couldn’t block the attack of a sector Lord.
“Pa!”
A crisp sound seemed to ring out beside his ears. Immediately after, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Tang Zhen had already left the sealed continent and appeared in the outside world.
