Chapter 1919 Fearful Resistance

Days passed as the two of them traveled through the region, heading towards the Forest of Fear.

The deeper they got into the Beast Domain, the harder it became to travel through.

The air grew denser.

The gravity grew higher. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Their speed reduced as each step grew just a little more difficult than before.

Rui hadn't noticed this before because they circled around the edges of the Beast Domain when traveling to the Valley of Prisms. In other words, he never traveled deeper into the Beast Domain during that time.

However, now that they were actively heading into the Beast Domain, both Rui and Kane could feel that the average harshness of the environment was rising, slowing them down.

Rui couldn't imagine how difficult it must be to travel in the inner half of the Beast Domain if they were already experiencing such a significant difference shortly after traveling deeper into the region.

He knew that, at some point, only Martial Seniors would be qualified to travel further, while Martial Squires would be unable to or have to persevere beyond a manageable degree.

Naturally, there probably was a point where not even the power of the Martial Heart would be able to protect them, leaving it such that only the Martial Masters would be able to traverse through the Beast Domain.

There probably was a boundary beyond which only Martial Sages would be able to travel.

He wondered if there was a region that only Martial Transcendents could enter.

If there was, it was probably such an unfathomably destructive region that being anywhere near it would erase Rui in the briefest of moments.

"Whatever, we don't have to deal with it, even if it exists."

Another thing he noticed was not just the Beast Domain's resistance to being traveled through, but also its resistance to the senses.

The deeper they traveled, the more their senses were hampered. The range of their sensory techniques was reduced bit by bit. The precision and detail of their sensory input were also reduced gradually as they went deeper into the Beast Domain.

They arrived at a cliff that oversaw an enormous forest extending beyond the what the eye could see.

It was pitch black.

The vegetation, the soil, the bedrock.

All of it was pitch black.

It was as though they were beholding a deep abyss that swallowed all light.

"What the hell?" Kane frowned anxiously.

Rui heaved a sigh. "In we go."

"Seriously?"

Rui turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "Did you think we came here for sightseeing?"

"I mean, no, but look at that," Kane gestured to the forest. "That's a nightmare. If we go in, we're straight-up going to die."

"It's a Squire-level danger zone," Rui stared at him.

"It doesn't feel that way," Kane shrugged.

"That's because we are already under the influence of the fear-inducing vegetation," Rui replied. "It's not dangerous as long as we don't do something stupid. Let's go."

The two of them slowly declined from the cliff down to the forest. Yet the closer they got, the more their senses of fear were pricked at.

Rui had to admit that maybe Kane did have a point regarding this place.

"Alright, there are Senior-level creatures in this place," Rui told Kane in a soft whisper. "We can't be as relaxed as we were in the Valley of Prisms."

Not like they could relax even if they wanted to. The fear-inducing airborne substances in the air refused to let them!
